Luckily he leaves his window partly
open at night"
The district attorney, lying on the
broad Of his back in bed,, suddenly
snored his way into nightmare. He
dreamed that he was in the woods,
and that a ninety foot pine had fall
en- upon his chest.
The something on his chest spoke
in carefully restrained whisper.
Keep very quiet"
The district attorney would have
shivered had he been able to move
that much. He knew that voice 1t
belonged to Billy Wingo.
II hear you arrested Miss Walton"
Teri had to- explained the
district attorney.
No evidence a-tali You were too
previous, Arthur. I've got q sneak
cluttering up the face OF the earth.
Be reasonable now. don't you think
so yourself?"
No reply.
You're thinking because I'm
talking to you SO bright and merry
that don't mean what say. Listen
-" the whisper lost its airness and
became a ruthless, snarling growl-
listen to me. Because of what
you've done to her, it's all can do
to keep from strangling the breath
out of you here and now" Billy
paused. About Miss Walton" he
continued in his former Tone III
give you your choice. If she isn't out
Of jail and the warrant against her
withdrawn by noon tomorrow, / give
you my word that I'll down you on or
before midnight Sunday. And l have
a habit of keeping my promises
"Al right" capitulated the district
attorney.
CHAPTER XVI
A month had passed and Billy
Wingo, now far south of Golden Bar,
knew that his quest was nearly
ended. In the past four weeks Billy
had grown presntable beard, had
met up with Johnny Dawson. a
friend OF his youth, and had three
times crossed the trail of Dan Slike.
His latest information was that SlKe
and Jack Murray were inseparable.
Finally the morning came when
Billy and Dawson believed they had
his rifle as they gazed down from
the hill on a sence that had many
counterparts in the west.
A quarter mile out from the base
OF the hill was a tiny fire. beyond
which lay a hog-tied calf. Beyond
the calf a man sprawled behind the
body OF a pony. He was aiming a
rifle at another man ensconced be-
low a cutbank bordering a small
creek. This second man was not
clearly visible.
Between this man and the man be-
hind the pony were three hundred
yards of ground as fiat as a floor.
Billy swept the background of the
cutbank man with his glasses.
There are two horses tied behind
windfaIl alongside those rocks.
Where's the other man."
There the other man. said
Dawson, pointing fifty yards down
stream from the cutbank. Whats
he doing -drinking?'
Billy turned his glasses. "He amt
drinking" he said soberly. His
heads under water
"Tm sure hoping he amt Dan
Slike," Dawson said matter-of factly.
"Me too. What"
For the man behind the outbreak /
was climbing UP and walking out in
to plain sight of the man behind
the pony did not fire."
Hes cashed all right" Billy re-
marked suddenly. "He looked so
natural he fooled me-
They ran down the reverse slope
of the flat-topped hill, cut across the
creek and approached the horses tied
behind the windfaN.
Tell you," said Dawson, loosen |
the cinches; then no matter which |
horse he tops he'll jerk himself |
down."
Both saddles were carefully doc
tored.

SHOEMAKER IN CHARGE
OF FARM LABOR OFFICE
Glasgow Man to Bainville to Supervise
Distribution of Farm Labor for
Northeastern Montana.

For the distribution of harvest hands
for the wheat growing sections of
northeastern Montana an employment
office to be managed on a cooperative
plan by the federal farm labor bureau
and the Montana department of agri-
culture was opened at Bainville Aug
ust /. The office is in charge of w.
B. Shoemaker of this city under salary
from the state. His duties will be
principally those of assigning men to
the various sections of northeastern
Montana where their services are the
most urgently required. The work of
securing the men will be handled by
the federal farm labor bureau under
the direction of George E. Tucker, who
has established offices at Fargo, N. D.
Mr.. Shoemaker will administer the
distribution of the farm hands in the
counties of Phillips, Valley, Daniels
Sheridan, Roosevelt, Richland, Dawson
McCone and Garfield.
The work Of securing farm hands

FARMERS OF COUNTY SHOULD
ESTABLISH A WAGE SCALE

The farmers and threshermen of
North and South Dakota have met and
established uniform wage scale of
$3.50 per day. 1t looks as though the
farmers and threshers of Valley coun-
ty should do the same thing. Laborers
are scarce and will not come to Mon
tana unless they get wages that are
equal to the wages where they are
working. --.
The problem of getting laborers out
to this country is large one and each
community should establish direct con-
nection with the county agents office
with regard to transportation of la
borers.
Every effort is being made through
state and national employment offices
to get men and it is expected that
the situation will be handled with sat-
isfaction. At any rate, no stone is GO
ing to be left unturned with regard
to finding laborers and getting them
into the county and out to the farmers.
The farmers cooperation is asked for
in staying by the upiform wage scale
and making satisfactory arrange
ments for the transportation of la
borers. MURRAY E. STEBBINS,
County Agent.

FIRST ANNUAL CORN AND
POTATO SHOW AT MALTA

At meeting of county agents of
northern Montana and representatives
of the State College, held at Fort AS
sinniboine recently, Malta was chosen
for the first annual northern Montana
corn and potato show to be held during
the month of November, the week pricr
to the state corn show at Miles City.
The counties of Hill, Blaine, Phillips,
Valley and Roosevelt have definitely
agreed to finance a corn and potato
show, these being the only counties
represented at the meeting, but other
counties will doubtless come in as the
matter was left open as that any por-
tion of northern Montana may exhibit.
Details for the show are now in course
of preparation and will be announced
later.
Northern Montana has taken rapid
strides to the front as corn and po-
tato section during the last few years
and the chief purpose of this show will
be to provide an educational means
for stimulating interest in these crops.
Exhibits will be limited to standard
varieties of corn, spuds and small
grain as adopted by the different coun-
ty Farm Bureaus in the northern part
of the state. Arrangements are be-
ing made to make this one Of the
largest shows of it's kind in the state
and every county on the high line has
guaranteed definite number of ex-
hibits together with funds from which
to finance the show. The Great Nor
thern railway will be asked to co.
operate.

LOCAL OIL COMPANY
DRILLING LINE BUTTE
Glasgow Exploration Company Has
Well Down 100 Feet on Lime
Butte Structure.

With a hole now down about one
hundred feet and good progress being
made each day the heads of the Glas-
gov Exploration company, now drilling
for oil on the Lime Butte structure,
southwest of Glasgow, are very much
elated over the prospects of early sue
cess.
The past week has been the incor-
poration of the old organization known
as the Glasgow Oil & Gas company,
into a new company known as the
Glasgow Exploration company. The
reason, as explained by the incorpora-
tors, is that under the state corpora
ton laws every investor is absolutely
safe from any and all claims that may
arise in event of any failure Of the
company to meet it's obligations. In
other words the investor who puts in
certain sum Of money cannot be as
sessed or levied on in any way for ad-
ditional funds if those funds are need
ed. 1t was with the idea Of safety tc
the investor that the change was de.
cided upon and completed.
The capital stock of the new organi
zation is set at $4,000 in shares o1
one dollar each. The incorporators
are Albert Nelson, H. A. Yotter ant
Henry Carpenter. R. S. Mcclellan is
attorney for the organization. Unit
election of permanent officers H. A
Yotter is acting secretary and treas
urer.
The fact that big gas produce,
was brought in on the Rowdoin fell
Wednesday and that there have beel
several inquiries and offers to bu.
acreage of the local company, hold
forth a very bright outlook for sue
cess on the site selected. Experience
drillers are in charge Of the we'll un
der the supervision Of Albert Nelson
Careful drilling has been the watch
word, with view to all the depth pos
!, sible in the shortest time.
Exhibits of known shale and oil for
nations of the formations and the 10,

at the offices of the Glasgow Explora
alton company in the Yotter building

NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT

What came near to being a fatal
auto smashup occurred just this side
of Hinsdale Friday afternoon. A mo-
torist travelling east attempted to cross
the tracks ahead of No. %, the east
bound Great Northern mail train. His
car turned off the crossing just as the
train struck and while he was badly
shaken up and the car somewhat dam.
aged he escaped without serious in
jury. 1t is wise idea for motorist:
to give fast mail trains the right o.
way.

CLOSE TO A RATHER

Tom Ammon was in Miles City af-
ter repairs for his reaping machine.
He is from the south part of Powder
River county. While on his way in he
camped on Tongue River ID miles from
the city. When he got up Tuesday
morning to stir up fire for his coffee
he disturbed big rattle snake which
had taken possession of sage brush.
Ammon says he knew the snake was
there but he couldn't see it on account
of the thick grass, but he could hear
it. He poked it out with stick and
succeeded in killing it. The snake was
nearly four feet long and had 13 rat
ties. He had slept all night on the
ground within five feet of the reptile.

One of the recent sad events was
the death of Mrs. A. H. Pettis, who
was well known in this city and in
