"Mr. White was active in christian

meetings. He did much for the Mas

christian character, and patient faith
under sad affliction, his thoughtful
consideration of others, and his loyal
fidelity to his family and friends won
him the love of all. He was ready for
the great change and looked forward
with JOY to the release from earthly
suffering, to greet his Lord on a sick
less and fearless shore, and greet
again those whom he had loved and
lost awhile.
"He leaves to mourn his death a

ASKS REDUCTION IN
COMPANY STRENGTH
Formation of National Guard of Mon.
tana Delayed Pending Decision
From Washington.

Formation of the two battalions of
infantry allotted to the Montana ma
tional guard under the provisions of
the new army bill is delayed in the
hope of obtaining from Washington
permission to decrease the minimum
size of the companies, according to
Adjutant General Phil Grenan.
One hundred men to the company
is the minimum strength of a COM
pany under the new bill. Prior to the
war the minimum was 65 men, and
under the original ruling Montana
organized and equipped one of the
finest militia regiments (the Second
Montana) in the nation. 1t entered
federal service as the 163rd infantry
The difficulty under the new min.
imum lies in the fact that most OF
the Montana towns which organized
guard companies are comparatively
small towns, and it is feared it will
be hard to enlist 100 men who car
pass the rigid new tests.

Despite DrOuth Corn Has Done
as Well as Ever in Some
Sections.
BEST IN WlBAUX COUNTY
Little Fall Seeding Done up to Pres
ent Time-Slight Showers In
sufficient to Soften Ground
for Fall Flowing.

Corn has proved itself we'll suited
to Montana's climate, it is indicated
by the weekly crop and weather sum-
mary issued by Meteorologist Will
liam T. Lathrop of the Montana sec
tion of the weather bureau. Reports
received by him show that in Wibaux
county some farmers claim to have
as good corn crop as ever, and that
corn has done we'll in eastern and
southern parts of the state. The sum-
mary:
"The north central counties remain
quiet; showers in other portions, al
though generally insufficient to soften
the ground for fall plowing, greatly
aided foest fire fighting in the west.
The amount of smoke in the air was
very much reduced in the last days
of the week.
cup to the present time little seed
ing has been done; farmers have been
waiting for rain. Winter wheat
threshing continues, and the cutting
of spring grains has extended to var
ious parts of the state. Fall wheat
and rye and peas are being threshed
with fair yield in Park county. Some
spring wheat has been threshed west
of the Main range, and fair yield is
reported from irrigated lands in up
per Missoula county.
"On dry-land farms only a light
yield has been secured. Reports OF
past weeks, however, have indicated
that in some sections west of the con-
tinental divide there are better crops
than these. In Wibaux county, ir
the east, about half the flax will make
fair crop, and in that section a few
farmers claim to have as good corr
crop as they ever had. Corn has done
comparatively we'll in many counties
especially in the east and south.
"The third cutting of alfalfa is still
in progress in the southern portion
of the state, where also truck is being
harvested for market. Meagher coun
ty correspondence indicates that po
tatoes there are of fine quality, al.
though the crop is light, but up ir
Hill county large acreages have beer
wilted by drouth. In northwestern
Fergus most wells are running shor
of water and many are hauling from
creeks.
Stocks, by their deteriorating condi
tion there, are showing the scarcity
of feed, and shipments are being made
Whether or not the showers have hae
any effect on the fall ranges in the
state has not yet been reported"

peared before the board Of county

BANQUET IN HONOR OF
JUDGE JOHN HURLY

A banquet was given last evening
in the Masonic hall by members OF
the Masonic order in honor of Judge
Hurry, who leaves for Helena tomor-
row evening to take up his duties as
a member of the state supreme court
There were in the neighborhood of
one hundred men present, some of
whom came from different parts of
northeastern Montana to join in pay
ing their respects to one whose friend
ship is deeply cherished by them and
who has been so highly honored by
the state.
The banquet was presided over by
DR.. M. D. Hoyt, who filled the place
cred;tably. Several interesting talks
were given. R. S. McKellar spoke
for the lawyers, S. c. Small for the
bankers, DR.. A. N. Currie of Nashua
for the medical profession, Rev. JEFF.
ferry for the clergy, and F. L. Sher.
man for the manufacturers.
Judge Hurry was the last speake,
Of the evening and voiced his appre.
citation in very able manner.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
CAUSES BOYS DEATH
DELLWOOD DIX, SON OF r. w. DIX, PROMINENT
FARMER LIVING FEW MILES WEST OF GLAS-
Cow, SHOT WITH % RIFLE IN HANDS OF
YOUNGER BROTHER

Dellwood Dix, thirteen-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert w. Dix re-
siding on farm about three miles
west of Glasgow, wins accidentally
shot by his younger brother last Sat-
urday afternoon and died as a result
of the accident early Sunday morn
ing.
The boys were shooting at targets
with 20 rifle. The older boy had
been shooting and offered the gun to
the younger brother, telling him to
shoot as soon as he had set up the
target, which was tin can placed
about fifty feet away. Before DELL
wood could get out of the way the
gun was discharged, the bullet strik-
ing him in the hip.
Both boys were afraid to tell their
parents of the shooting so they franz
ed up story telling the parents that
Dellwood had fallen while running
around the chicken house and had fall
len on nail.
DR.. Hoyt was Immediately called
and dressed the wound; but did not
make thorough investigation, believ-
ing the boys story regarding the ac-
cident. Early the next morning Mr.
Dix went into the boys room to see
how he was getting along and noticed
at glance that the. boy was deathly
sick, so he again asked the boy how
he had gotten hurt and the boy then
told his father the truth. Mr.. Dix
then hastened out to the barn, hitch
ed up his rig and started for Glas-
gov with the boy, but the lad died
just before they reached town. The
supposition is that death was caused
from internal bleeding.
The funeral services were held from
the Catholic church Monday after.
noon and interment was in the loca
cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dix and family have
the heartfelt sympathy of a large
number of friends in their bereave
ment.

Carroll, clerk Of the supreme court,
and A. c. Snyder, court stenographer.
A brief reception was held in the
offices of Chief Justice Brantly and
congratulations were rendered to the
new justices.
Reports that Judge Patton would
not accept the appointment had arous-
ed good deal of speculation through
out the state, but he declared at the
last moment to be sworn in. He is
the only member of the democratic
party.
Terms of two members of the court,
Justices Holloway and Hurry, expire
in January, 1921, and their successors
will be elected at the 1920 general
election. Two years later the success
sors to Chief Justice Brantly and JUS
tice Patton will be chosen. A success
sor to Justice Cooper will be elected
in 1924.
The court is now in it's summer re-
cess, and consideration of cases will
be resumed on Monday, September 8.
