BLAKE GAGE DIES
AT NITRO, W. VA
Glasgow Man Who Went to Work at
Powder Plant Victim of Span
ish Influenza.

Blake Gage, a we'll known Glasgow
citizen, passed away last Sunday night
at a hospital at Nitro, West Virginia,
a victim of influenza-pneumonia.
With hundreds of Montana men Mr..
Gage left the state about two weeks
ago for the powder plant, and on the
way contracted the disease which re-
suited in his death within a few days
after his arrival in Nitro.
Word comes back that the trains
on which the men were taken south
were made up of old cars with win
dow glass missing and no drinking
water. The food fed the men was of
the poorest variety and scores of men
were taken sick and many, both sick
and dead were taken off at stations
along the way.
A message was received here Sat-
urday stating that Mr.. Gage was SER
iously i'll, but as Mrs. Gage had gone
to Scobey, Plentywood and Coal Creek
on business it was impossible to To-
cate her. The trip was made by auto
and she could not be definitely located
at any one place. She went to her
homestead near Coal Creek to look
after her property but a messenger
sent there to find her reported that
she had left.
Yesterday noon Mrs. Gage came in
and being unaware that anything was
wrong was Frustrated when notified
of her husbands death. Another tel
egram from the sister of the deceased
notified Mrs. Gage that the body was
being shipped to her home in De-
troit and that it would arrive Satur-
day. Mrs. Gage left this morning
for the east and stated that burial
would be made in the old home in On
tario just a short distance from De-
troit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gage have made their
home in Glasgow for the past ten
years, except for the time that they
have lived out on their homestead at
Coal Creek.

Up from the fields, with leaguers rich
Close by the G. N. railroad ditch,
The thriving town of Glasgow stands
Its kept press bound with copper bands
But who, we ask you, who is this?
Just back from Minneapolis
By way of Billy Shannon's bar,
Where checks are often cashed at
par?
IT'S the Good Judge; the candidate
Who wants to go and legislate
The profiteers to defeat,
And put Bill Rhodes on Easy Street
/! His thirst assuaged, he seeks a place
Where he can sit and feed his face.
And when the judge has had his fill,
The genial Jap presents his bill.
The Judge, with fluent fountain pen,
Inscribes a check for fifty yen.
"No, no." says Sam, "Not him for me;
You give me U. S. currency"
The outraged Judge, with ire intense,
| Commences acts of violence.
Up the street came Walt the Cop,
Just as the dishes began to drop.
Under his SLOUGH hat, left and right,
He glanced; the Good Judge met his
sight.
ooh Fie." he cried above the din,
81 fear ri have to run you in"
The Good Judge swelled his manly
chest.
And beat himself upon his breast.
"Who touches a hair of this white oak
Is a slave of Big Biz! Skidoo!" he said.
The officer took a chew of snuse,
Then placed the Judge in the Gala
boose.
Next morn, beneath the laws stern
lash,
He paid his fine-ten bucks-in cash.
The good old days are nearly Ger,
And soon will the FOUNDERS round no
more.
Hurrah for the Judge! and let a tear
Fall, for his sake, in T~ownley's beer.

lner Tsarvitch, Is the favorite Ger
man candidate for the throne. The
former emperor would not accept the
throne from German hands.
Tbe Bolsheviki government in Rus
sia, represented by Nikolai Lenine
AMI Leon Trotzky, has acceded to the
demands Of Germany and announced
its readiness to accept the hard peace
terms which Germany has laid down.
Thus, apparently, without further
hesitation, the Russians are prepared,
in an effort to stop the inroads the
Germans now are making into their
country to add to the enemy's al
ready vast holdings more of Rnssia's
most valuable territory, extending
from the Gulf of Finland southwark
to the Black Sea, and even to with
draw her troops from Finland and
give back to the Turks what has been
taken from them in battle.
The surrender seems abject. Rus
sia is Immediately to send delega-
tion to BrestLitovsk, there to discuss
with German representatives the final
details Of the peace and sign the COM
pact.
