MONTANA NOTES
TREASURE STATE TALES
TERSELY TOLD


III S0dIly M I'll ~
Friends of Fred Sumner, president of
the Park county farm bureau, who
with his son is interested in a sheep
ranch at Salmon, Idaho, have received
news of his success in the industry.
The green grass has started nicely on
his range, Mr.. Sumner says, and be-
| cause of this fact his band has become
too heightened to eat hay and during
the Landing period he is compelled to
buy a little bran and shorts.
Six lambs mothered by two ewes is
the best record he has yet observed
in the history of a band of 1900 ewes,
Mr.. Sumner writes. Fifty per cent Of
his flock have registered twins and the
increase, the letter states, is one of the
best he has ever heard of.
Meets Accidental Death.-J. G. SUIT
ton, member of a Great Northern sec
ton crew, met death accidentally at
Stonehill. Reports coming to the
sheriff's office are to the effect that a
large rock had fallen upon the track
and Sutton and another workman were
attempting to remove it. Sutton sent
his companion after some tools. The
companion had got only a short dis
lance away when he heard a shot. Re
turning he found Sutton lying dead on
the track, with his revolver near him.
Sutton had been carrying the revolver
in a shoulder holster and it is believed
that as he stopped over in his work
with the rock, the gun fell from the
holster, was accidentally discharged
and killed the man.
Horses Disappear.-Joel Minor, of
Havre, who has the city garbage con-
tract, has learned how something as
bulky as a pair of horses apparently
can vanish into space while the owner
stands a few feet away
Mr.. Minor had been working in the
real of his g Reaching around
to gather up the reins he saw nothing
where but a few moments before his
trusty co-workers had stood.
Dashing around to the front of the
wagon he found his horses in a hole
pealingly. They had been standing
over a pocket in the earth.
Receives Severe Acid Burns.-Frank
Evans, a well known smelter employe
at Great Falls, is in Columbus hos
