Lewistown.-The county commits
sioners last evening decided to offer a
reward of 81 900 for the arrest and
conviction of the incendiaries who :
burned the Fergus county high school
on the evening of April 80, and
in addition offered a reward of another
81. 900 subscribed by citizens.
The state on May l offered a re-
ward of 81 900 and Immediately there
after the city offered $500. Following
this another source offered a reward
of $4,000, and with the latest addi-
tions the total now stands at $4,000.
The nature of the case is such that it
has been ineXpedient to make public
all the information secured by the
officers, but it is believed this morning
that they are right on the heels of the
guilty parties and that developments
may be expected Immediately.
Dillon.-Brooding over family trou-
bles which he alleges were caused by
the interference of the man whose life
he took, Ephraim Stoller shot and in
stantly killed Christ Scholomitti, a
local restaurant man, at about 4:15
o'clock last Friday afternoon while
the latter was on his way to his
room in the Stoller rooming house.
Havre.-As an outcome of the re-
cent raid on the parlor house in the
old restricted district Of Havre in
which three men and four women were
taken, complaints were filed in JUS
ing C. w. Young and William Muir
tice Kirkland's court Saturday charg-
dock with renting houses Tor i'm
moral purposes on July l, 1917. A
complaint was also filed against Flor
ence Goodwin alleging the keeping Of
the parlor house.
Butte-Physicians Attending j.
Stanley Smith, wealthy sheepman of
Martindale, Mont, who was brought
to Butte for treatment for injuries
sustained in an automobile accident,
tonight expressed fears for his recov-
cry. While the accident injuries were
not serious, meningitis developed and
it was stated that the case seems
hopeless and that in all probability he
cannot survive another "a hours.
Helena.-Senator Henry L. Myers,
has withdrawn the name of S. j..
Crowley for the appointment of Uni
ted States district attorney for Mon
tana, and has substituted the name of
f. C. Day of Helena. And thus the
little squabble for the appointment of
district attorney goes merrily on at
Washington between Senator Myers
and Senator Walsh.
Lewistown.-People living in the
vicinity of Roy hoped that they had
finally solved the mystery of the dis
appearance of John F. Afflerbach,
when last Monday they found the
skeleton of a man, partially covered
with clothing, in an old bed of Bear
Creek, a few mile out of Roy. But in
vestigation disclosed that the skele-
ton vas that Of an Indian who had
been dead for a number of years.
Roundup.-1t is almost unbelievable
that a citizen of the United States
should be ignorant of the fact that
this country is at war with Germany, |
but that such is the case was proved |
when Charles B. Smith, who owns a
small ranch in the Snowy mountains,
came to the city yesterday. When he
visited a nearby ranch looking for !
some stray animals, the subject Of late
news from the wal was discussed, and
he was greatly chagrined that such
news should have come to him a wear
late. He does not receive any news
papers and seldom mingles with his
nelghbors. Since learning this, he
states that some time ago two sus- i
ptclous characters were at his ranch
