Transient Fined SIS
For Having Gun

Alfred Murdock who was arrest
ed at Culbertson charged with
carrying concealed weapons,
pleaded guilty to the charge and
was fined $500 in Judge Gordon's
court Monday.
1t seems that there had been a
holdup staged among the box car
travellers, and men who had been
held up stated that the man who
had robbed them had had a gun.
The train crew searched the ho-
boes on the train, but were un-
able to find anyone with a gun.
At Culbertson, however, among
the transients the officials picked
up this Alfred Murdock who car
ried one. When brought before
Judge Gordon he said that he car
ried a gun to protect himself
from thugs and the like.

Mooney, Congressman Leavitt's
personal secretary:
"In the absence of Mr.. Leavitt
I take pleasure in quoting a tele-
gram received this afternoon from
Mr.. Mills of our office at Washing

Secretary of War few minutes
ago signed papers approving plans
for Wolf Point bridge. Within a
week highway commission will re-
ceive authority proceed with con-
struction from district engineer at

Sincerely yours,
GUY MOONEY.
The Great Falls Tribune, dated
Oct 4, published the same story
as reprinted below. The increas
ed height above high water record,
required for the Wolf Point bridge
by the war department, called for
so much work in redrawing the
plans that it was impossible to
get the project ready bids by Sep
tember 26, as expected. The date
now tentatively set for letting the
contract is Oct. 23.
The Tribune says
Secretary of War Dwight F. |
Davis Monday formally approved

tructed across the Missouri river
lear Wolf Point, according to in
ormation received in Great Falls
rom the office of Congressman
'cott Leavitt at Washington.

lears the way for early construc-

OUT BY FIRE
GHOST CITY OF EASTERN
MONTANA is REDUCED TO
ASHES

Late Sunday night fire, believ

brush or prairie fire, the origin oi
which is unknown, swept through
the Main street of Fort Union, OF
I Mondak as it is better known to
! inhabitants of the county, and re-

memories of frontier days. The
Great Northern depot, an elevator

Fur Trading Post
Built in 1929 by Kenneth Nc
Kenzie as fur trading post for
the American Fur company, it
lacked but few months of round
ing out the century. Although it
had the sanction and support of
the United States government, it
was not designed for a military
fort and was never used as such.
The American Fur company car
ried on an extensive trade with
the various tribes of Indians and
with white hunters and trappers.
Then buffaloes dotted the hill
sides and the streams teemed |
with beavers and mink.
The fort was located at a stra-
egic point with reference to posi-
ole attack. At the junction of the
Missouri and Yellowstone rivers,
t had the channel of the Missouri
o the south and an open plain on
he other three sides. There were
sually about 100 soldiers station
d there.
Early in the sixties, Fort Buford
ras built two miles down the Mis-
ouri as a military post and ever
