(Miles FUj Independent.) The greatest comedy sketch ever staged, plajed to a packed house in Baker last Friday. It was a scream from the time the curtain rolled up until the closing scene. And there were no curtain calls either. As the deep, dark plot unrolled it self under the guidance of the Baker steering committee, and the full iniquity of the conspiracy revealed ir- self there was a deep growl that grew Into a howl and followed by a stam pede headed by George W. Burt. The name of this thrilling “ dram- mer\ in high political life was, “County Division, or Who Gets the Lemon?” Billy Lang and Berry Mor ris took the heavy parts: A1 Davis, the inimitable Wibaux comedian, enme in for a large share of the glory and succeeded in foiling the schemes of the c p.spirators. Of course. If every- thin1' bad gone along smoothly and if the a< tors had kept to the lines it migh. have ended differently, but it wouldn’t have been as funny as it turne'1 out. The much advertised county division meeting was pulled off as per schedule at Baker lost Friday. The town had prepared to entertain a big crowd and there W’as a pretty good attendance. There were representatives-from Eka- flaka, the Powder river, the Carlyle [district, Ismnv and other points, The (call was^for a general mass meeting of all taxpayers In the eastern part of the county, but when the meeting w'as called to order and got down to busi ness it developed that the Bakerites had a little plan of their own. John Oliver was elected chairman and the matter of credentials was im mediately brought up The Carlyle district was represented by a delegation with which J, C. Kin ney, A1 Davis and several other resi dents of Wibaux affiliated objection was made to their presence in the meeting, but they contended that they were heavy taxpayers in Custer coun ty and had as much direct interest in the proposed new county as any one. A committee to define the bounda ries of the new county was appointed and Mr. Burt, of Ismay, was appointed hut suspecting a “job\ he refused to act or take further part and accom panied by several members left the hall. The committee is to frame up a re port and present it at the next meet ing, which, the chairman announced, will be held in Ekalaka on April 17. As this is the date of the stockmeeting at Miles City there may be a change made later. WOOL COMPANY VOTES TO DEGREASE CAPITAL At the head of the American Wool company at Boston it was announced that the directors of the corporation had voted to reduce the common stock Of $30,000,000 to $20,000,000.
