Nichols of Medora, Bill- ings county, North Dakota, were in Geyser Friday and arrested S. G. Ger- nigan and E. S. Devine who have been engaged in running a saloon here for a few weeks past. The men were wanted for being funitives from justice, having escaped from the officers at Medora more than a year ago, while out on $1,000 bail each, having been convicted in the North Dakota court on the charge of bootlegging and gambling. NVIten the officers arrived in town they only found Devine, who had been in charge of the place alone for several days while his partner was supposed to be working a graft among the grading camps on the line of the Great North- ern between Moccosin and Lewistown. Deputy Sheriff Kommers wired an officer at Hobson to capture Gernigan and bring him to Geyser. However, by an unlucky stroke of fortune for the wanted man, he happened to be traveling on No. 44 that day and the train stopped here unexpectedly. Ger- nigan, evidently thinking it a good opportunity to lay over and see how business was, got off the train. He was soon put next to the situation and would have taken to the tall timber but for the prompt action of the dep- uty sheriff, who was right on the job and pursuaded him to come along . quietly. The officers took their prisoners to Great Falls where they were locked in the county jail pending tLe signing of the requisition papers by Governor Norris at Helena. Gernigan and Devine are said to he both married, and had been going tin- der these names at Geyser, though it is asserted by the officers that they are assumed names.

M. E. Parrish, publisher of The Times, I this week received theappointment as I U. S. Commissioner and has qualifiedl for the position. As soon as his blanks I arrive he will be able to attend to land office business in the Great Falls dis- trict. This will be especially good news to a large number of settlers alorg the eastern edge 'ofthe Great Falls district in Cascade and Choteati counties, who have been attending to this business, before the commissioner at Stanford.

NORRIS, Governor. Must Record * All Brands Stockmen Should See To It That Their Brands Are Re -Recorded Before Nov. I, 1912 D. W. Raymond. secratary of the State Board of Stock Commissioners, has sent out notices to a number of the newspapers of the state published in the stock regions, which are of evtreme in- terest to the stockmen of the entire state. Stockmen of this section have frequent- ly inquired about the law and now an official notice is published elsewhere in this issue which indicates what is re- quired to be done. Unless all brands are re-recorded by November 1st of this year, it will be ;considered that the brands are abandon- ed and others will have opportunity to record them and use them. The idea of this law, which' was passed in 1911, was mainly to do away with hundreds and even thou- sands of old brands recorded years ago and abandoned. This will clear the brands down to the live ones, which will be preserved in the name V the present owners. It is important that this matter be attentled to. Progress of Milwaukee Construction Engineer Opens Office in Great Falls—Expects Bids to be Asked For Soon . That the work on the construction of the Milwaukee line between this city and Lewistown will be directed From this end of the line were made evident yesterday when headquarters were opened up in an office building in this city, says the Great Falls Trib- une. J. R. NIcVicar, the engineer who was in charge of the surveys be- : tween here and Lewistown, and who has been in Seattle subsequent to the completion of the survey's, arrived from :Seattle Sunday. accompanied by his wife and child, for the purpose of loca- ting here at least during the construc- tion of the line. Mr. MacVicar will be in charge of the work of constructing the line, at least that part of the work at this end of the line, and he will have his office properly equipped within a few days by the time die contractors arrive to go over the survey. It is probable the work will be let in two sections, one section comprising the Great Falls end of the line, and the other section comprising the Lewis- town end. However, the contract may cover the full line. Cross -Section Work Begun The Fergus County Democrat of this week says: After resting here for a few days following the arduous labors l incident to the. location of the line of the M ilwatikee between Lewistown • and Great Falls, the engineers em- ployed by that road are once more tak- ing to the field. Orders were received Saturday to divide • the large force of men who have been waiting in Lewis- town into a number of parties and start at once the work of cross -section- ing the line and to rush it with all (Continued on page 2) 4111•11111111.1.411•11M.M.
