H. J. Atwell and L. S. Ropes, two special government land agents, of Helena, were here last week looking into con- ditions, and it is understood that steps will be taken to cancel a number of homesteads as well as timber and stone entries in this vicinity as a result of their visit. While here, Mr. Atwell found evidences where entrymen, who have already offered proof, failed to improve their places sufficient- ly to warrant the issuing of a patent by the government. In addition to inadequate improve- ments, many of the homestead- er, after having received their receipt from the local land office on cbmmutation proofs, totally abandoned the land, and in some cases, went back east to live. This is in direct violation of the intention of the homestead law, and, wherever homesteaders have left the country after commut- ing, Mr. Atwell says, the govern- ment will refuse to grant a patent, or in cases where it has already been issued, the patent will be canceled unless the parties re- turn to resume residence and cultivation of the land. \It is the intention of the homestead law,\ said Mr. Atwell to the Record, \to provide homes for those who will take advan- tage of them, to develope the country, and not to have the public domain taken up by a class merely on speculation, as you might say. When you look into the matter, you will readily see that it is not fair to the bona fide settlers as well as to the community in general to have land filed on, proved up in four- teen months and abandoned by the entrymen until it has great- ly increased in value by the labors of the more industrious settler, when he re urns, or what is more likely, disposes of it at a nice profit. The delinquent homesteaders aim to profit by somebody else's labors, and it is to remedy this state of affairs that the department of the inte- rior is now very careful in ac- cepting commutation proofs.\ The above article applies, not only to the Roundup country. but to every portion of the state where land has been recently opened to entry. We hope that Hardin hasn't any of this class Of settlers, but in case that there are this should be sufficient warning of the necessity of their changing their plans and com- plying with the letter of the law. Just Borrowed It Claiming that the taking of his companion's watch, which was subsequently pawned in Hardin, was only a joke, Charles Conners was yesterday arrested and is now being held to answer to a charge of grand larceny. According to the story told by the young man, he and Harry V. Cooper were in the city a few days ago, intending to go to Sheridan on business. He says he took Cooper's watch as a joke and while they were stopping in Hardin pawned it for $4, intend- ing later to return the ticket and the money. Cooper, of course, noticed the absence of his time- piece and after repeated inquiries by Conners as to whether or not he had recovered it, he suspect- ed his friend and accused him of having stolen the watch. This was at first denied, but in an examination yesterday morning by County Attorney Wilson, Conners admitted that he had taken the watch and surrendered the pawn ticket. His friend will also be held as a witness in the trial. — Billings Gazette. Seed Wheat.

They drove into the stream and had no difficulty in reaching ' the first island, crossed it and ! started for the second. When , about twenty yards in, and wherel the water was scarcely three feet deep, the horse on the up stream side began to crowd the other and bulge ahead and despite the efforts of both men succeeded in heading straight down stream. The men saw at once that all efforts to save the team was almost useless and that personal peril stared them in the face. However they stayed with the rig, trying as far as possible to turn the course of the team till the depth of the water compelled them to leave the team and each fellow look out for himself. Dinsmoor swam toward the east shore and apart from an extra effort in crossing the cross current where the Little Horn empties into the Big, had little trouble in reaching shore. Kifer WES less fortunate. He Swam toward the west shore and as he neared the bank he saw that, , owing to the roughness of the water as it surged by the large , boulders, it was impossible for him to land on that side. ,To swim to the east bank was his only hope. All went well till reaching the cross currant of the two rivers and here began the fight for his life. He was al- ready quite exhausted, having swam about 400 yards in one of the swiftest of streams, and as he came into the cross currant it seemed in spite of all effort the currant would drag him down. However, he put up the fight and won and after getting where the water was not more than knee deep he says had it not been for Dinsmoor having been there to helped him he thinks he would have perished. Both of the parties feel that the battle with the water was not without honor for each reached shore with his hat on, it not having been wet. The team and rig was carried down stream about eighty rods and lodged against a tree. All effort to get the rig or the har- ness from off the horses has been unsuccessful. Installs Filter T. E.
