The Glasgow courier., 1916-02-04

Mr.. Romig had been in Nashua
after supplies. Driving a span of
mules he started for home. He had
reached point about four miles from
his destination when the snow be-
gan to blow and darkness overlook
him. Unhitching the mules he
mounted one of the animals with the
intention of riding the remainder of
the distance home. However, the
snow became so binding that he was
lost on the prairie. All night long he
rode, mostly in a circle, repeatedly
crossing his own tracks. The follow
ing morning neighbors saw him in the
distance and went to investigate. Here
they found Mr.. Romig in a delirious
condition, still seated upon the mule,
the animal standing still. He was
taken to the home of Mr.. Erickson and
given all possible care.
His hands and feet were badly
frozen, and his tongue and face. His
tongue was so badly frozen that it
turned black when thawed out. 1t is a
miracle that Mr.. Romig escaped
alive.-Nashua Independent.

GRAIN THIEVES CAUGHT.

T. B. O'Nel is in the Blaine county
Jail held to the district court OH a
charge of grand larceny il the theft
of a load of flax, the property Of
Frank Kirscher, a farmer of the Big
Flat, residing about 35 miles north
east of Chinook. O'Neil was arrested
by Marshal Mike Buckley of Harlem
early in the week and bound over to
the district court. The flax was sold
to the elevator at Zurich on December
6, foE which O'Neil received a grain
check for $118.6O. The grain was
easily identified because it was white
flax, an Alaskan variety and Kirscher
is the only man in the country who
has that kind of flax. O'Neil claimed
he was hauling the grain for other
parties. F. H. Anderson and Art
Cheney have also been arrested,
charged with being implicated in the
theft.

NOW A REPUBLICAN.

In the issue of January IA, Editor
E. H. Mcdowell of the Terry Tribune
gives his reasons for adopting the
republican standard, taking this
course notwithstanding he is a re-
cent Wilson appointee as postmaster.
The editorial reads, in part:
ut is, in our judgement, imperative
that republican congress be elect
ed this year in order that this ruin
Gus policy toward the farmer, labor
er and manufacturer in this country
be discontinued in the passage of a
tariff law which will be just and
equitable to all the people-a law
which will prevent this being made
the dumping ground for the great
surplus which is piling up in foreign
countries as a result of war.
eve have always favored protec-
tive tariff, and have not failed to
condemn the passage of the free
trade law fostered by Mr.. Wilson
and advocated by the two senators
from Montana. We believed then, as
now, that the results would be disad-
vantageous to Montana and her
people, and failing to perceive the
faintest hope of relief from that
source we naturally turn to that
party which has never yet failed to
give to the people of the United
States prosperity.
"In advocating, in the future, the
election of the republican ticket, the
Tribune believes it is taking a step
forward-one that will assist to
greater extent the development of
Montana and the prosperity and hap
piness of her people. We realize that
this step means financial loss to the
Tribune-that some advertisements
which it has carried will be taken
away, but true to the principle
which has always guided us in pub
fishing a newspaper. We will follow
the course our conscience dictates.
let results be as they may. First of
all we are for Montana and her best
interests-and democratic policies, as
advocated by the present administra-
ton, both state and national, are
not for the best interests of the peo-
ple."

WOLF POINT WINS CASE.

In a majority ruling of the state
railroad commission, signed by Com
missioners Mccormick and Morley,
the citizens of Wolf Point, a town
,on the Great Northern in Sheridan
county, won every point for which
they contended with reference to
train service on passenger trains
numbers / and 2.
The order requires that the Great
Northern be required to stop trains
numbers and on flag at Wolf
Point station, to let off or take on
passengers destined to points where
trains number / and 2 are scheduled
to make regular stops, until such
time as local, daylight passenger
service, both east-bound and west
bound, may be restored. The order
becomes effective in 20 days.
Some interesting statistics are
brought out in the order. The town
has population of 400 people, and
draws from large territory on the
south, across the Missouri river. Un-
til recently the Great Northern COM
pany objected to stopping emigrant
cars at Wolf Point station, for the
reason that there was no crossing
over the river to points south.
The citizens made strenuous eff
fort to overcome this difficulty and
raised sufficient funds to build a
pontoon bridge. The bridge was COM
pleted September Is, and up to about
January 10, the time the river was
frozen over, and including a period
of little over three months and a
half, there were 7,435 paying passeng-
ers who crossed the bridge.
This only includes the drivers of
wagons and men passengers, as no

ed, but people are becoming desper-
ate as cold blizzards prevent relief
from being brought overland. There
has been no mail for three weeks.
1t is rumored that an official of
the 500 line, being annoyed with sew
eral reports of snow bound trains, de-
cided that he would 60 and take per-
sonal charge of the work Of clearing
the line, intimating that he would
show the boys what could be done in
battling with the elements, under his
own personal and skillful guidance.
He attached his special car to a pow
erful locomotive and started on his
mission Of mercy and where there
were but five trains stalled, there
were six, that of the officials being
the last one. It is reported that he
left the work to the men already on
the job and went to Plentywood, 60
ing home via Great Northern.

TOM STOUT QUITS.

1t is announced in press dispatches
from Washington that Representative
Tom Stout will not be candidate for
reelection to congress. The reasons
for his retirement from the political
field are explained by Mr.. Stout to
this effect:
My reasons are purely personal. My
wife and I would rather live in Mon
tana than in Washington. The people
of Montana have beer mighty good to
me, and l have attempted to repay
them for their generosity by devoting
my full time and endeavor to the task
of representing them here at the ma
tons capital.
"1f l could bring myself to believe
that am the only person available
who can adequately perform the du-
ties of this office l would be entirely
willing to lay aside all personal con-
sideration and stick with the job; but
/ appreciate that there are scores of
good men in Montana who can repre-
sent the interests of our state here in
Washington with just as much fidel-
ity and doubtless with greater distinc-
tion than l. 1t is mans size job, but
there are any number of men in the
stateswho are peculiarly fitted for just
that sort of task, and the people of
Montana are amply able to pick the
right man for the place."

BASKETBALL GAME TONIGHT

One of the most important games
on the schedule of the local team will
be played tonight when the Culbert-
son high school team will be here to
tackle the local basket shooters. The
game will be played in the high school
gymnasium and will begin at 8:15.
Culbertson has very fast team and
the game is doubly important to
Glasgow, as it will practically elimi-
nate the loser from participating in
the Havre series.

GOOD SEASON
LOOKED FOR
Monster Milk River Irrigation
Project Nears Completion.
WILL RUSH CONSTRUCTION
Water Will be Available in Spring for
10000 Acres-Flood Waters
Will be Utilized.

The coming season will be one
of exceptional promise to the resi-
dents of the towns and farms in the
Milk river irrigation scheme. With The
necessary water available for the
growing of crops, sugar factory is
expected to locate in the valley, Glas-
gov, Malta and Saco being the points
considered.
Water will be available this coming
season for the irrigation of 10000
acres of land. Work on the construc-
ton of main canals and laterals in
the vicinity of Saco will be prose-
cuted during the season, and by next
fall a total of 1900 acres will be
under the ditch. Each year, as the
money becomes available and the de-
mand for irrigated land increases, ad
ditional work will be performed un-
til the project is completed to its ul-
innate capacity and 100000 acres of
as fertile land as is to be found in the
country are under irrigation.
The Milk river project is the largest
yet undertaken in Montana by the
reclamation service. Construction
work has been carried on for years
and the results will be manifest to
an appreciable degree this season for
the first time.
While many of the larger works
will not be completed to their capac-
ity for several years, it was neces-
sary to build parts of these structures
for the maximum development, and
the other parts Of these structures
will be constructed as a larger amount
of water is used.
There are two main storage fea-
lures, one on the St. Mary's river, and
the other, the Nelson reservoir, north
of Saco. The flood run off the Milk
river will be diverted into the Nelson
reservoir and then drawn upon during
the irrigating season as needed, sup
plementing the Milk river run-off,
which in some years is very light, is
the St. Mary's storage, on the west
side of Glacier park. The St. Mary's
river, which will divert the flow of
the St. Mary's river into the Milk
river, has been completed and the
water from this drainage basin will
be available for the Milk river valley
farmers. Considerable work has been
done on the Sherburne lakes storage
dams, which is part of the st. Mary's
feature, but because of the magnitude
of the work, it will not be completed
for several years, and until larger
appropriation is made by congress.
The Nelson storage reservoir will
conserve $4,000 acre feet of water at
present, but when completed will have
a capacity of $4,000 acre feet.

WOLF POINTS NEW BRIDGE.

Washington, Feb. 2.-An interest
ing story lies behind the bill intro
duced in congress to authorize the
Wolf Point Bridge & Development
company to build bridge across the
Missouri river in Montana. The bill
has passed the senate and has been
reported from the house committee on
commerce. The war department has
reported that there is no objection to
the bill.
From a report on the measure by
the department, it appears that the
company constructed a bridge in 1915
in deliberate violation of the law.
They applied for authority and were
put on notice that the bridge could
not be built unless an act of congress
was secured. They nevertheless went
ahead and constructed the bridge.
This was in violation of the law of
1899 for which the guilty parties are
liable to fine of $500 or $25OO and
Imprisonment for one year. The
bridge is floating one, without fixed
piers or other supports. 1t is built
on boats or pontoons anchored in the
stream and can be removed and re-
placed without great difficulty. Com
plant was made against the bridge
by person operating ferry boat in
the neighborhood and the case turned
over to the United States district at
torney for prosecution.
The district engineer officer for
Montana reports that he inspected the
bridge and conferred with the officers
of the bridge company. Their plan is
to place the new structure at the
same site as the old one and to build
it of the same material. The bridge
has been operated since last Septem-
ber except for a week in November
when it was swept away by ice and
that it is now in use and will be used
until the river freezes. It will then
be removed and replaced in the
spring. The location is at a narrow
place in the river where there is am
pie depth of water. The approach is
fairly easy both from above and be-
low. The present structure fails to
meet reasonable requirements in the
width of draw openings which should
he increased from $50 to 300 feet
wide. The owners of the bridge do
not claim that the bill pending will
legalize the existing bridge. It is as
sumed they expect that if the bridge
is re-erected after the passage of
the act it will be a legal structure
from that time on.

FORMER CONVICT
RECOGNIZED
Harry ]. Smith C0nfesses to
Shooting Three Men.
RETURNED TO GREATFALLS
Smith Served Part of Fifty-Year
Sentence at Deer Lodge
Wanted for Other Crimes.

AA0AA ~ 0AuAStt OAN OOAIA AvANOOu0AAS
the two gun men who were being held
here on charge of robbery, were
given their release Monday in the
district court, the court granting the
motion of the defendants attorneys
to dismiss the case because the infor-
nation had not been filed within the
time specified by law.
Upon the release of the two men,
they were Immediately arrested by
Sheriff Powell on an order from the
Cascade county authorities. Deputy
Sheriff Homer Robinson of Great
Falls took the men in custody and
they will be taken to the electric
city to stand trial. They were with
Richard Wallis on November Is,
when the latter was killed by Deputy
Sheriff Curt Dennis at Rainbow,
while resisting arrest.
Smith, alias Wyatt Willis, and Nc
Donald are also wanted at Chinook
on charge of highway robbery. They
are thought to be members of the
gang that held up a house in that
place about November IL, and the
robbery of the inmates. Some Of the
jewelry stolen was found upon the
men when arrested in Great Falls
and the fourth member of the party,
"Texas Dick" Noble, confessed to the
officers that he stood guard while the
others did the robbery; he was taken
to Blaine county and pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary.
The crime for which they were
wanted here for was the robbery of
the Waldon brothers and G. T. Gra-
ham of Great Falls about November
10 and throwing them off a moving
freight train. They have been con-
fined in the Valley county Jail since
their capture at Great Falls and were
ringleaders in the attempt to dig their
way out of the Jail few weeks ago.
Smith, alias Willis, was recognized
as an ex-convict by Ray Hendricks,
night manager of the Model Bakery
and Cafe, while Deputy Robinson had
the two men in the place for lunch be-
fore taking the train west. Accord
ing to Hendricks, who was formerly
guard at the Montana penitentiary,
Smith was known there as George
Wilson, and was serving a sentence
of so years for murder.
On the return to Great Falls
Smith told Deputy Robinson that in
1902 he and partner named J. H.
Kennahan had attempted to rob six
men in a box car in Dawson county
near Glendive. The men put up a
fight and three of them were killed
by Smith and his partner, one Of
them instantly and two of them died
later. They were pursued and caught
near the Dakota line by Sheriff Will
liams and stood trial before Judge
Loud in Glendive, Smith being SEN
fenced to serve so years and Kenna-
han life. Smith said he was convict
ed under the name of ]. w. Wilson
and was % years of age at the time.
He was released from the penitentiary
in February 1914 and since that time
has broken Jail in Minot and has been
concerned in different affairs. War
den Conley of Deer Lodge was tele-
phoned to and confirmed the state
ments in every particular. kennehan
is still serving his sentence.
