PROHIBITION
in MONTANA
DECEMBER 80
State Will Go Dry and Old
Hangouts Of Cowpunch-
ers Will Disappear.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 24.-State wide
prohibition goes into effect in Mon
tana at midnight of December 80,
this year With the passing of the
saloon there will disappear one of
the picturesque institutions of the
west. At one time the saloon was an
important feature in the social life
of the hardy pioneers Of the Treasure
state.
In the early days when men were
blazing the western trails, the saloon
followed them and, as q rule, was
among the first industries to set up
and transact business in the COM
|munity. With a canvas for a top and
Ia board bridging two boxes for a bar,
hospitality at so much a drink was
dispensed to the Argonauts.
AS communities ~prospered the own
er Of the saloon or half way house,"
waxed prosperous in proportion. The
barheeper'sE was a strenuous life, for
those who sought the cheer he dis
|pensed included miners, cowboys, In
dian fighters, cattlemen, sheepmen,
the renegade and the ne'er do well.
Revolvers more often. than not, were
the arbiters of disputes. The bar
keepers armament lay on the bar
within handy reach and in full sight
of the perhaps too ebullient custom
er to remind him that there were linn
it's within which he must confine
his celebration.
Cowpunchers, after months on the
prairies looking. after cattle, free of
restraint and their pockets full of
money rode into town scarcely dis
cernable. in a cloud Of dust, pune
tuated with a flash of fire and report
of revolvers. Like a tornado they
swirled up to the front of the saloon,
refined their ponies back on their
launches and sometimes rode in
through the swinging DOORS, These
were profitable days for the barkeep-
er, but he must needs be a diplomat
if his place remained intact.
Hard On the heels of the saloon
came the gambler with the tools of
his trade. Then followed the dance
hall adjunct which brought with it
the orchestra" such as it was, or the
automatic machines. All were part
and parcel of the saloon.
Some Of the modern saloons in the
states larger cities were elaborate
in their fixtures, furniture and dec
orations. Until a few years g Butte
had a buffet whoses entire floor was
inlaid with imitation dollar coins, en-
tirely natural in appearance.
Bartenders in the state with other
saloon employees, number about five
thousand at the present time. A large
percentage of saloons will continue
in business, either with soft drinks
or lunch, or both; or as bowling al
leys, pool halls, or shooting galleries,
and it is thought most of the saloon
employees will be retained while the
experiment is being tried.
!, Several of the larger breweries will
turn to making artificial ice. Others,
it is planned, will dry vegetables.

THROUGH
MISSOURI RIVER
ICEANDDR0WNS
Conkling Farmer Loses Life
While Looking for
His Team.

Washburn, N. D., Dec, 24.-While
wandering about on the ice covering
Ethe Missouri river, searching for his
kteam, which he had lost in a fog,
fNels Nelson, a prosperous farmer of
EConkling, a few miles west of WASH
Eburn, fell through an air-hole Friday
E%evening and was swept away by the
who were with him could rescue him.
There is little hope that the body ever
will be recovered. A son Of Thomas
Thompson, who with Henry Dahl,
was with Nelson at the time of the
tragedy, fell into the same hole, but
one foot chung to the safe ice long
enough to permit his father to seize
it and drag the boy to safety.
sNels Nelson had started out about
5 o'clock with his team for Fort
CLARK, across the river, but he lost
his way in a dense mist and wandered
about on the ice four hours. During
this time he tied his team, making
his way ahead on foot. Finally he
saw a light for which he made,
thinking it to be the town of Stanton,
on the west side Of the river. He
found, instead, that it came from a
neighbours house. Here Henry DAHL,
son joined Mr.. Nelson in a search for
his team, which were tethered some
where in the woods, on one bank or
the other. During this search Mel
son, without a sound or a MOMENTS
warning, dropped from sight jim an
air-hole. 1t was pitch dark at this
time: the swift current had dragged
the drowned mans body far under
the ice, and further search was out OF
the question. Dahl and Thompson
therefore returned home with the lat
ter's son, who was soaked and drip
ping.
Nels Nelson was about 35 years old
and was single. He came to Mclean
county six a ago from Wausau,
Neb., where a sister is now residing.
Although possessed of only limited
means at the time Of his arrival. by
industry and thrift he had acquired
six good quarter sections of land, and
was universally respected by all who
knew him.
