Jordon, was known among the Indians ns “The Chicken.” Mrs. Jordon was a recent'beneficiary of ihe Canadian law awarding “scrip” to halfbroeds in lien of lands, and it is presumed that the prosperity that had cornu to her was largely instrumental iu bring­ ing about her death.

Harris, superintendent of tho Cracker mine.at Atlyu, on the Blaek- foot ceded strip, was in town Wednes­ day enrouto from Helena to the mine. Mr. Harris recently fell the entire distanco of tho main shaft, seventy- eight ieet, while being lowored in a bucket. The brake ou tho coil refused to work and when the bucket with the superintendent struck tho bottom Mr. Harris was wedged in so tight with his feet and bead sticking out that it required tbreo men five minutes to pull him ouf. Aside from severe bruises Mr. Harris had no bones broken and will resume his duties at the Cracker mine at once.—Havre Flaindealer.

County Surveyor Mathews returned from the Dearborn on Doc. G, having been instructed by tbe State Arid Laud Grant Commission to inspect the work performed in District No, 4, with a view to ascertaining what per­ centage of the work, laid out in 1901, had been completed, capacity of canals, etc He states that a revolu­ tion is taking place in tho Dearborn country. The ranges (of old) are fairly bristling with wirej fences and that where once the buffalo was monarch o f all ho surveyed, uow looms houses, baras and haystaoks, ovidenco of progress that have been wrested by human hands from a wilderness. The Dearborn canal will soon be com­ pleted, settlers are coming in to tako up tho land as fast as the work of construction will permit. The taking- of tho water of the Dearborn, over in­ to the Dry creek, Spring creek and Sims creek country, haB required efficient engineers,competent[manage- ment, determination and capitol, to all of which the Dearborn canal bears evidence. Tbe lands segregated tin der the Carey Act in District No. 4, are sandy loatn in character and will produce abundant crops of those kinds which are adapted to our climate when placed under cultiva­ tion. A strange and wholly unac­ countable fact, that irrigation and tho settling of lands has produced, is that the people of the eastern stub s seem to understand the possibilities of irrigation bettor than the Mon­ tana ranchman and can and have gono ahead and made a success of farming by irrigation, when our best representative ranebman bad pie- dieted failure. A telephone message was received hero last Sundu}-containing tho sad news of the accidental lulling at Basin of Millou E. Stilluinn, a former resident of Choteau. Mr. Stillman was a sou in law of 11 W. Yeager of this place, and Mr. Yonger has gone to Butto to attend tho funeral. The following account of the unfortunate accident was copied from tho Butto Minor. Nows was received in Butto yester­ day of tho accidental death of Milton E. Stillman, formerly of this city.wl o was lulled about 1:30 o’clock iu tho afternoon, while at his work in tho Huntington mill of the Basin & Bay State company of Basin. His wifp aud five children reside in this city and woro informed of the sad affair last night. Little is known of the accidont or how it occurred. Stillmau was work ing on tho upper floor of the buildiug, and ns far aB known no one was near bim at tho lime. It is supposed, how over, that in some mauner lie became tangled up in tho shifting and death resulted iustnutly. The top skull was torn off and ouo ankle broken, besides other bruises about tho body. He was found by a follow workman and tho authoritii 8 wore at once notified of tho accident and steps were taken to have the body removed to this city. This will prob­ ably not be done, howovor, until after tho inquest at Basin, to bo held by coroner of Jefferson county. Stillmau was about forty years of age and was a skilled workman, boiug a carpenter by trade, and had beou employed at the Boston & Montana works in this city before going to Basin. ya Kssuaaasa NOTICE.
