Dies Alone on Homestead

Mrs. Maren Anna Volden, 76, died
alone at her homestead claim north OF
and down the Yellowstone river from
Big Timber, recently, after she had
returned from Portland, Ore.
She was driven to her ranch claim
by Peter Becken, and the day follow
ing friends went over and arranged
for coal and a fire for her. They
promised to return the following morn
ing and did so, finding her dead.
Death evidently resulted from heart
disease, with which she had been af-
flicted. She leaves three sons and
three daughters. She has resided here

southwest of Lambert, n of the larg-
est coal mines in that district, caught
fire a week or more ago and is burn
ing f~uriously, belching a volume of
smoke that reminds n of a volcano
in action. The mine was not being
operated this year. The of the
fire is unknown. 1t is said that the
Wyatt mine has a 20AfOot vein of coal
Of good quality, and the fire causes a

HOPE ABANDONED FOR
LOST FRENCH GASBAG
Huge DirigibIe, Adrift In Gales, Has
V%anished; Fifty Crew and
Passengers Feared Lost

Paris.-Indications that hope of res
cuing the missing Dixmude is ap-
preaching the vanishing point is seen
in the action of the ministry of marine,
on board, which is seldom done in
France until a craft is considered lost.
The government, nevertheless, is spur
ring on the activities of the air, sea
n land searchers, as it is pointed out
that a disaster to the airship would
not mean death to the crew although a
landing might be difficult. She car
ried only a limited amount of gasoline.
No word has yet been received from
the missing d%irigible, which may still
be in the air after many days, or may
have effected a landing in some out-of-
the-way place in the French protector
ate Of Tunis in northern Africa or in
the Sahara desert. For several days
now the airship's wireless has been
silenced, and the great craft herself
has vanished.
The minister of marine has received
messages from the port admiral at
Bizerta, declaring that the Dixmude
was not seen over Tunisia and that
she at 10 time has asked for help. 1t
is established that the last commune
cation received from the ship was on
December %, at 3 a. M, when she
acknowledged receipt of a telegram
from Sidi Abdallah, Sahara. The in
tensity of the message at that time
justified the inference that she then
was not more than zoo miles from
Bizerta.
1t is calculated that the Dixmude's
store of gasoline might have been ex-
hausted by Sunday, December %.
Consequently the only thing left to do
IS to explore the regions where the air
ship might have come down either vol
lntarily or by force Of circumstances.
All reports hat the dirigible had been
observed over Tunisia recently having
proved erroneous, the ministry con-
siderS that there is nothing to justify
he belief that she was carried to sea.
An exhaustive search is being made
n the zone comprised between the
coast of Tunis and the line
# Malta-Tripoli, with help from the
British and Italian allies, revealed
The opinion prevails that search for
he dirigible should be concentrated in
outhern Algeria. Cavalry patrols
ave beer dispatched to explore the
erritory, and airplanes from Algerian
Tunisian bases are ~conductins a I
1ethOdical exploration of the region :
here it was thought possible the dir
yible might be. !
Although there appears slight prob !
bility that the Dixmude has fallen !
ito the sea, all the assistance of the :
Mediterranean squadron, as well as the !
rovince, Algeria, and Tunis flotillas, !
as been placed at the disposal of the
ice admiral commanding in north =
frican waters, for fresh investiga- y
ons of the western part of the east ?

While returning from Great Falls on
the graveled highway at night, and
thinking the road clear, a car driven
by y. A. Meagher and Wilson Gray as
a passenger, collided with a cow near
RUNE, the animal appearing suddenly
out of the darkness. The radiator was
demolished and the engine driven
through it, and the tenders were also
badly smashed. Neither Of the men
was injured, and upon going back the
next morning the cow was gone and
apparently had also escaped serious
injury.
An icicle dropping only a few feet
pierced the foot of Neil Peterson, of
Butte, causing q cash which required
several stitches to close and breaking
two toes. The accident happened at a
flume at the smelter. Peterson was
%chopping icicles from the giant box
and was slow in getting away from
under the one that caused the injury.
Although the drop was but a few feet,
the weight of the frozen water caused
an injury that will keep Peterson in
the hospital for some time.
