' In Jview . of the fact that Moore...re- cently had a very narrow escape from destruction by fire, a'call for a public meetinglast Friday night to discuss ways and - means to protect our town from the future possibility of being destroyed by fire, called out a large, enthusiastic gathering of the citizens. A temporary organization was effected, L. L. Barnian being elected temporary chairman and Al. Samuels, teinporary secretary. The permanent organiza- tion was then proceeded to andi.J. L. Barnum was made president; Al' • Sam- liels, secretary; J oseph . Gallagher, vice president; Ed. Hersey, treasurer; C. 0. Ray, fire marshaLLA committee was then appointed to.obtltin the cost of installing and recommend the kind of a plant that could be obtained . for the least money And give the best re- sults. This committee consisted of the Aforementioned officers. A com- mittee was also appointed to prepare by-laws and constitution for the regu- lation of the company, consisting of W. T. McDonald, Wm. Barney and G. H Beasley. The name selected, for the company was the Moore Fire Com- pany. Aftera discussion of • the, ,sub- ject Of fire protection the meeting was adjourned to meet the following Tues- day night (last Tuesday). Two liberal offers were placed before the meeting by Joseph Gallagher and George Fogle, both tendering the use of gasoline en- gines for pumping purposes, free of charge. A number Of gentlemen were enthusiastic supporters of chemical engines, but a majority seemed to think that water was the best. How- ever, the different ideas were all lis- tened to attentively and given due consideration. TUESDAY, JAN. 23rd. rilie Moore fire , gompany held an- other meeting Tuesday night and dis- cussed every phase_ of the situation relative to fire protection. Great in- terest was manifested by everyone present. The chemical engine, the gasoline engine; the windmill, and steam power were all given due con- sideration. G. H. Beasley made the citizens a prtiposition to Combine fire protection with an electric light plant, which was given little consideration, but in 'the minds of many was consid- ered the most feasible of all the prop- ositions offered. The chemical engine contingent ably represented by C. R. McClave. of the Montana Elevator Co., and T. E. Rice of the Montana Lum- ber Co., were out in force and present- ed atrong arguments in favor of chem but upon a standing vote of II to 14 it was decided not to buy a chem- ical engine. These gentlemen are lo- cated at i outlying, points and their ar- guments were well founded. The prop- osition to erect, a tank and use, a wind- mill to raisethe .. water'•waS ... also voted down. A - recess of five minutes was then taken to informally discuss the remaining proposition, viz: whether the company take advantage of Messrs. Gallagher and Fogle's liberal offer to lend their gasoline engines. MK:Gal- lagher's engine could be obtained for a period of two years with the exception of about eighty days, when it would hemi use attlie shearing plants.a.nd Mr. Fogle:s engine could be substituted but. it was brought out that this engine would have to be mounted and run to the water supply and connected when needed, and it was deemed inexpedi- ent, a Majority believing that it wou#1 be less practicable than the company owning its own engine. The question then came up of buying'an engine and It was decided so to do. . A ways and means committee wss then appointed to find out the cost of an engine, locate a tank and get the approximate cost of laying mains, or whether it would be better to have sufficient hose than to put in mains. On this committee were appointed C. 0. 'Ray, Joseph Gallagher and - Gordon 0. Shafer. A finance committee was also appOinted to raise the necessary funds, consisting of - A. G. Denton, A. D. Barney and T. E. Rice. A committee was also ap- . pointed to interview the townsite com- pany to find how much money. could be secured from it towards establish- ing the plant..., It was stated that Messrs. King and Robertson had prom- ised to assist this project to the ex- , tent of $500.00 and that they would be expected to do so. Messrs. N111111, Hauck and Mathews were appointed on this committee. It has been sug- gested and may bathe plan adopted by the finance committee, to assess the property holders their pro rata share, according to property valuation. This would only be fair and just. C. W. Thurston arose and offered to latche alive, consisting of the Moore Mercantile Co., the Montana Hard- ware Co., the Judith Commercial Co. and the Citizens Bank of Moore, to give $200.00 towards the installation of the plant. This plan of raising money was de- murred to by several and it was thought best to leave the. raising of funds in the hands of the finance com- mittee,- which was accordingly done. The report of the committee on by- laws and constitution was then listen- ed to and accepted. Meeting was then adjourned, and a special meeting to hear reports of committees was called for Friday night. Masquerade a Success The masquerade given by Ola Wight, Lou Davis and Wm. Hirsch last even- ing at Fogle's Hall Was a 'grand suc- cess:from every point of view. The costumes were furnished by the David Drug Co. and were all very striking. The floor manager, Wm. Hirsch, ordered all masks raised at 12 o'clock at which .time there were a number of surprises. Much speculation was - indulged in prior to the unmasking as - to who different parties were and probably the best- concealed identity was that of Joseph Gallagher. A num- ber of prizes were awarded as follows: For the most elegantly dressed lady and gentleman, a beautiful picture to Miss Ella Leeper, donated by the Judith Commercial Co., and a gold mounted briar pipe to Voile David, donated by Hendricks & Wight. . For the most comically dressed lady and gentleman, a box of perfumes to Miss Anna Coffman, donated by David Drug Co., a pair of Busby gloves to 0. Ray, donated by Hendricks & Wight.

For best gentleman waltzer, a pair of cuff buttons to Clyde Coombs, by Hendricks & Wight. . For best lady waltzer, a box Of candy to Miss Agnes Jellison, by Moore Mercantile Co. The judges were Lon Davis, William Steele and J. I). Reese. The dance was well conducted, there being no rowdyism and only the incapacity of the ball marred the pleasure of the evening. The music was furnished by E. F. McRae and W. Paul Sartain. The judges 'were sorely taxed to award the prizes as the number Of well cos- tumed dancers was so great that it was difficult to decide just who were entitled to the prizes. 'But judging rirom the salvos of Applause that greeted eitgioinnouneems t a s _the prize- winners were evidently well named. A number from a distance were pres- ent, among whom were: Dora Klause, Trout ,Creek: Sarah Trash, John Trash, Walter Trash, Beaver Creek; J.• M. Sperry, Straw: and Agnes Plillbrook. These gentremen will give another dance on the. 14th \of February and cordially invite everyqody to be pres- ent. C. C. Long Sells Harness Shop C. C. Long, who 'rec'ently was partnership with Peter Binsfelt, of Big Timber, has sold his harness stock, fixtures and tools to G. M. Stafford, of Lewistown. Mr. Stafford Ise practical harness man and intends to enlarge the stock and run a first-class business at the same stand, having rented the building for that purpose. kr. Staf- ford will make some changes in the building, removing partitions and en- larging the store room. A competent harnessmaker will be placed in charge and Mr. Stafford promises as cheap and complete line of goods as can be found in Lewistown. There is no doubt but what the field here is agood one for such a business handled in a business -like manner. Oily Appearance in Montana Alfred Reisenauer, the great Ger- man pianist, will give a coneert in Helena. on the evening df January 29. Anyone desiring to hear Perhaps the greatest living exponent of the old I masters will'find it worth their while to go to Helena for this entektain- ment. This will be his drily appear- ance in Montana. PLEADS NOT GUILTY Yolks Sherman Enters Formal Plea and Judge Cheadle S'ets Trial For January 29. James Sherman, the young man who home weeks ago made several sensa- tional confessions to the effect that he alone murdered Studzinski, was taken before - JiKige Cheadle in the district court at Lewistown Monday, and through his attorney, J.1). Hun- toon, %%aid The readit.g Of the in- formation charging him with the crime and . entered a plea of not guilty. The case was then ,set for trial Mon- day, .l an. 29. During the 30 -minute delay after the accused was .brought into the mat room until thecaSemas reaClied, he appeared as one - with no concern in the pending business, but smilingly comported - himself as a dis- interested Observer of a minor court matter, having nothing whatever to do with the punishment of a cruel murderer, and at least in no way af : !, teeth* his personal welfare. The last few weeks' confinement in his prison cell - does pot seem to; have worn heavily upon the young man, at least there is nothing In his bland ap- pearance to indicate, that the stern hand of the law had restrained his Ireedinn, with, perhaps, the exception a Wight pallor. His avoirdupolik/s greater and he retains a pertain - effe- ful habit. of dress which accentuated the belief that in his small home at the comity jail this debonair young man had easily adjusted himself to the force of - circumstances. No line of sorrow or remorse marks his brow. The attorneys for the state, Roy E. .,Ayersand 0. W. Belden, are carefully preparing ; he case of the Prosecution / And are placed upon their mettle by the knowledge that the *man whom they will Seek ti convict of murder in the first degree will, be defended by ,one of the ablest criminal lawyers who ever dead at the bar of justice in the courtAct this state, ..Tno.

Will Not Touth Lewistown While there has been all kinds of speculation as to the exlict route the Great Northern would follow across Fergus county with its line -from Great Falls to Billings the real facts became known for the first time' last Thurs- day, through right-of-way settlements. The line 'will follow the old Burling- ton survey through Fergus county as near as 'practicable. It will cross Wolf creek a mile and a -half from Stanford, and will run eight miles east of Utica,' about two miles from Philbrook, three miles from Straw, one mile from Garneill and old ITbet. It will go out of the Oounty near old Tibet 'mind will cross the Montana rail- road for the first time near that point. 'I he line apparently will not come closer to Lewistown than Hasaett's ranch about 30 miles distant, so that the promised spur to that eity will be a long one.. The engineers are arrang-, ing to have grading commence on Feb. 1, and work will be pushed as idly as possible., he right -cif -way has now been se- cured from Great Falls to the Montana railroad with the exception of the route along Otter creek. The route here spoils some good, farms and will be rather expensive 'and it will probably be changed to leave these farms intact. S. C. Hauck was out Monday assisting Mr. Smith in ne- gotiating for, a right-of-way -in the ileighborhood.ofGarheill. A*, Advertised Utters LiwurrowN Pommes, Jan. 22.
