Two Gallons Ice
Cream Per Person
Is Record in State

The average Montanan ate a little
more than two gallons of ice cream
in the first nine months of 1887. the
dairy division of the state department
of agriculture reported recently.
The consumption of ice cream for
the period was 10 percent more than
for the corresponding portion OF 1886,
B. F.. Thrailkill, chief of the division,
said.
Placing the states population at be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, he pointed
out that the 1887 consumption to the
end of September was about twice the
population.
A total of 1,158,570 gallons of ice
cream was produced during the first
three quarters of this year, compared
with 1,O24,875 during the same period
of 1886.
Most of the Montana ice cream was
consumed in this state, the dairy di-
vision believes. The amount shipped to
other states would he about equal to
that imported.
While the states Ice cream business
for the nine-month period was on the
increase, production of two other i'm
portant dairy products decreased under
that for 1886, Thrailkill reported.
Production of butter dropped more
than 100000 pounds, or 11a percent
under the comparable figure for last
year and production of cheese de-
creased more than 500, 1000 pounds, OF
40a percent less than 1886.

Deer Lodge Man Is
Hurt Deer Hunting

Ralph Simmons, janitor at Powell
county high school, received the first
accident of the 1897 hunting season in
his locality when he made his way to
the Deer Lodge Farms ranch house
about loon in a semi-conscious condi-
ton with both wrists broken and sew
eral ribs out Of place. He had evident
ally fallen from a tree or some high
point, although his attending physician
said Simmons could not reconstruct
the accident.
Incoherent as the story is, it is pre-
sumed Simmons, who vas deer hunting
alone, climbed a tree, slipped and fell,
landing on his hands, causing the
wrist fractures. He also suffered a
severe cut to the head and wrenched
a shoulder. After his injury he must
have driven his car a distance of about
IL miles to the Deer Lodge Farms,
where he was taken to his home by
Sidney Stambaugh and later removed
to the hospital.
His condition was said to be "out of
danger" but it will be some time be-
fore he is able to work again.

500 PRESENT AT
OLD-TIMERS MEET
ONLY EIGHT OF THAT NUMBER
CAME TO MONTANA PRIOR
TO EIGHTIES

There are lots of old-timers in
the Moore area, but mighty few
pioneers. At the 18th annual old
timers gathering held under the
auspices of the Moore WOman's
club, out of a total attendance of
more than 500, from all over the
Judith basin, there were only eight
who came to Montana prior to the
eighties. But there were coolies of
l d-timers, persons who lived in
Montana for at least 40 years.
The eight of longest residence were
B.. B. Reid and Mrs. Ida M. Crowley
who came to Montana in 1856; Thomas
R. Moore, who came in 1868; Mrs.
John B. Clark, who came in 1874, and
j. B. Pyles, T. E. Rice and George
Courts, who came in 1879. And of these
eight only the first three. according to
The rules laid down by the Society of
Montana Pioneers, may be termed
pioneers.
Speakers of the evening were Oscar
o. Mueller, Lewistown attorney: Mrs.
w. D. Sidman, president of the Moore
Woman's club, and Mrs. M. c. Goodell
of Hobson. Mrs. c.. c. ColWen presided.
The committee of the Moore
Woman's club in charge of the affair
was composed of Mrs: c: G. Colwell.

Shepherd Dog, Bereft,,Of
Her Pups, "kidnaps" Part
Of Friend Tabby's Family

The adoption of three of a litter of
six kittens by a shepherd dog who had
puppies, was reported from the Corwin
Springs district near Livingston. The
mother cat apparently submitted to
the kidnapping Of half her family with
out complaint, and the two mothers,
dog and tabby cat, r still the best Of
friends.
The three puppies, which were not
wanted, were disposed Of shortly after
birth. The mother instinct Of the shep-
herd dog was too much for that. She
climbed into a manger where the
mother cat and kittens were just get
ting adjusted and deliberately picked
up q kitten and carried it to the other
end of the manger. She repeated this
act until she divided the kittens on
even terms, when nee again, she, too,
had a family. ;
There she lays, emulating the cat
mother, curled up most of the day with
the kittens snuggled closely to her.

of heavy river traffic was the ter

for jokes and Fort Benton had the
reputation of being the greatest of
them all. The whole town always knew
when a job was being put on someone
to be taking an active part in it. The
winters especially dragged YEARLY. The
days were dreary and the nights long.
HorSeplay frightened the hours i'm
me%asurably and Tom Todd had the
reputation, until he was an old man,
of being the biggest kid in the bunch.
The jokesters Of Fort Benton worked
pleasantly in which the teamwork was
astonishing was the custom of passing
strangers along from place to place
in search of a mythical person they
called Billy Brown" If someone asked
a question, there was always among
his hearers a man who would instantly
say that he didn't know but that Billy
search would start for Billy Brown
and it invariably wound up in front
Of the bar with the Searcher buying
the drinks for the crowd and keenly
awaiting his turn to participate in the
joke when the next opportunity Of

One night when there was a crowd

Those present fastened to accept
the invitation. They hadn't expected
the drinks quite so early in the game
it all the more interesting.
After everyone had drunk, the stran.

After they had all drank again, the
stranger turned to Todd.

Tom was dumbfounded: A roar of
laughter from the crowd brought him
to life and he sheepishly joined i
the laugh at his own expense and in
creased the bill by inviting everyone
to have a drink on the house.
Dan Tobey, a veteran frontiersman
who used to drive stage between Fort
Benton and Lewistown, was another of
the towns jokesters. He used to tell
this one on himself.
Dan left Fort Benton for his drive
to LeWiStoWn one day without laying
in a supply of chewing tobacco. He
didn't discover it until it was too late to
turn back. He had just a little corne
left of his plug and he decided that
if he husbanded it very carefully he
could make it last until he reached the
next stage station where he could get
a new supply.
He got down to his last chew, how
ever, when he still had many miles to
drive before reaching the next stop
ping place. And then Dan met a mar
OF horseback who tagged him and
asked him if he chewed tobacco. Be-
fore answering, Dan thought hard and

Dan wouldn't even have hesitated, but

Dan said afterwards that he knew
he ought to say yes and share his last
chew with the horseman. But he

moral strength ebbed away and he
