tween Secrest and his wife. Secrest
wanted to leave the dance and 60
home and when Mrs. Secrest refused
to accompany him, he proposed TAX
ing their boy with him. At this point
O'Riley mixed in the argument and
the two men engaged n scuffle. On
the witness stand O'Riley said he shot
Secrest in self defense after the lat
ter had hold on his throat.
Mrs. Secrest testified that she was
in the kitchen Of the Kipp home when
the fatal shot was fired that ended
the life of her husband.
The case was tried before Judge J.
w. Tattan. County Attorney D. J.
Sias and D. w. Doyle Of Great Falls
were the attorneys for the prosecu-
ton, and the defense was represented
by Norris & Hurd of Great Falls and

SUMMER SCHOOL
TO BE HELD HERE

Teachers Coming from Sheridan and
Phillips Counties.
Plans for Tri-county Summer
School are being perfected by the
county superintendents of Phillips,
Valley and Sheridan countless. It
will be a teachers training school and
will be held during the month Of
August. The school this year will
be held in Glasgow. The use of the
high school building has been donat-
ed by the Board of Trustees Of School
District No. l, and with its COM
plete equipment, affords ideal acom-
modations.
Every teacher in the three counties
is urged to attend the summer school
as it will be well worth the time
spent. The faculty is being selected
from the best talent available.
It is the aim of the school to pro-
vide instruction in all of the common
branhces of the curriculum of the
Montana schools, and also in those
branches required for a first grade
certificate. 1t is hoped that from this
course, teachers will receive informa-
ton and inspiration for the better
ment of their pupils during the. COM
ing year. School boards should give
preference to those enterprising and
ambitious teachers who seek to i'm
prove their condition by attendance.
Through such teachers will ultimately
come the raising of the standards Of
efficiency of the rural and village
schools of our counties.
Bulletins giving detailed informa-
ton are now being prepared and will
be mailed to all interested parties.

SAM CLARK MAY RUN

Complications in the North Dakota
gubernatorial contest are anticipated
with the probability that Sam Clark
of Bismarck soon will announce him
self candidate for the Republican
nomination.
Clark's entrance will make the fight
a five-cornered affair, and may result
in many radical new alignments.
Clark has won the favor of the Ger
mans through his support in his maga-
zine, "Jim Jam Jems," of the German
cause of the war.

BEGIN WORK ON
FLOUR MILL
Excavating Started Thursday
Morning for Building.
WILL RUSH CONSTRUCTION
Expect to Have Mill Completed by
August. Spur Track win
Be Built.

The excavation for the buildings of
the Glasgow Milling Company's big
300 barrel flour mill was started yes
terday morning, when J. L. Lytle,
who has the contract, put a. large
crew of men and teams on the job.
The site for the buildings was stalk
ed out Wednesday afternoon by Mr..
VIM. Dunnell Of the milling company,
and L. T. Stromswold, a contractor
OF Minot, and the contract was let
for the excavating. The contract
for the buildings has not been award
ed as yet, but it will be within the
next few days and the excavating
work will be rushed so that every
thing will be ready to start construct:
ing the buildings within the next few
weeks.
The articles of incorporation for
the company have been drawn and
will be filed Immediately. The name
Of the firm will be the "Glasgow Flour
Milling Co." and the brand of flour
they will manufacture at this mill
will be called the "White Cross" The
other mills operated by this company
have proven wonderful success and
there is no reason why Glasgow should
not become the milling center of
Northern Montana within a few
years.
Wednesday night the City Council
allowed the petition of the company
for the construction of a spur track
from the G. N. right of way to the
mill site, and also granted e build
ing permit to build mill, elevator,
coal shed and -four house to cost $16,-
600. This amount represents only the
cost of the buildings and does not in.
clude the items of machinery and
other equipment.
"A we'll is to be drilled near the mill
site and the water will be used in the
milling operations.
Mr.. Dunnell expects to have the
mill completed by the first of August
and will make the trial runs during
that month, and it is the intention
of the company to be ready to handle
and buy grain this fall and to run the
mill to full capacity, twenty four
hours every day.

MANY NEW SETTLERS

Between March first and April 18th
or during a period Of six weeks, be-
tween 70 and 80 immigrant cars were
unloaded at Wolf Point At Oswego,
IL miles west, IS cars were unloaded
and at Nashua, Is cars. These fig
ures give some idea of the number of
new settlers who have come to this
part of the state this spring.
Practically all of the people coming
with these cars brought livestock, i'm
plements, household goods and other
supplies. North Of Oswego, there
have been located 127 families of
Mennonites.

"vILLIAGE sKEwL" MAKES MT

"VlLLIAGE SkEWL" MAKES HIT
Acting in the capacity Of school
trustees, the audience at the perform
ance Of the "Villiage Skewl" at the
orpheum Theatre Tuesday night put
their stamp of approval on the per
formance Of the "Skewl" nistresses
and scholars.
Given under the auspices of the
ladies of the First Congregational
church and produced under the direc-
ton of Mrs Memminger-Keith, the
play was successful from every stand.
point. The ladies netted a neat sum
from the receipts, which would have
been greatly augmented but for the
windy weather on the night of the
play.
To Mrs. Keith belongs the lions
share. of the credit for the splendid
performance. For the past three
weeks she has been rehearsing and
getting ready for the play, and that
her efforts bore fruit is evidenced by
the excellent manner in which the
play was presented Tuesday night
Credit is also due to the members
of the cast whose faithful work in
preparing for the play and whose ex-
cellcnt performance on the night of
presentation marks them as thespians
of no mean caliber.
The solos rendered by Miss Made
line Parker, were excellent and the
piano duets by Mrs. Keith and Mrs.
Cottrell brought such applause from
the audience that an encore was ne
cessary after each piece.
The "eight fnne MEME singers"
made a big hit when they appeared
in school-boy costume and sang sew
eral songs. Bert Hauge gave an ad-
dress on patriotism" which was.both
timely and humorous.
A, solo by DR.. Layton was very
pleasing, and the songs and dances
Of the school girls was one of the
big features of the evening. The per-
formance was brought to close with
a butterfly dance, beautifully execut-
ed.

LAND RUSH ON IN
NORTH COUNTRY
Hundreds of Filings on State Land
Near Glentana.

Hundreds of Filings on State Land
Near Glentana.
Another big land rush is on in the
North Country this week and the ex-
citement prevailing in Glentana calls
to mind the stories of the big stam-
pedes for gold in the mining countries,
says the Glentana Reporter. Every
body here, or almost everybody, has
gone land mad and filings are being
made as fast as the local u. S. Com
missioner can prepare the blanks and
take. the oaths Of the entrymen and
witnesses.
!, The excitement has all been occa-
stoned by the report that the State
lof Montana is soon to lose it's rights
to the vast area Of land selected by
them last summer and that this land
will be thrown open to homeseaders
within a short time. The land in
question lies between Glentana and
Scobey and comprises approximately
half million acres of as fine land as
can be found anywhere in the west
Just how much foundation there is
to the report, or where the report or
iginated, seems to be very vague in
the minds Of the stampeders, but they
are filing just the same and seem to
feel that they will be among the for
tunate ones in securing a piece OF
this fine tract. It doesn't require
much effort to stir up a whole lot Of
excitement in the west, where good
land is concerned, and those who are
the most enthusiastic are satisfied te
take a chance on the meagre infor'
nation that has reached here.
The rush broke the first of the week
when Blaine Williams. a Plentywood
real estate man, came through here
and gave it out that he was locating
three hundred settlers on the big
state reserve and that late advicet
from Washington convinced him thai

OF COA[ COMES DOWN
 AGAIN

The price of coal has been reduced.
 Once more the householder can buy this greatest of all necessities at the same price that has obtained in Cor, dova for the past several years.
 Authority was received today by To- cal officials to notify the people of Cordova that the increased price oi s3. % per ton which was announced last week has been cancelled and once more the black diamonds can be pur' chased at the same old price.
 There is much speculation among the citizens as to the reason for the increase and reduction within such a short period. The general opinion among citizens is that the increase was caused by a mistake in billing from the Seattle office, by which the coal was shipped at the tariff rate of $7.OO per ton instead of the special rate of $4.OOO which has been in ef- feet.
 Whatever the reason, the people don't care now that they can feel as sured of getting their coal again at the same old price.
 The Alaska Transfer, local agents for the coal. is busy today refunding to the people who purchased fuel at the increased price. the excess money which they had paid. To them the decrease means something, more than to others who had not had the agony of paying the extra three.
