• • • THE HARDIN TRIBUNE VOL. II. NO. 49. HARDIN, YEA LOWSTONE COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER $2 ) PER YEAR. YOUNG MAN BADLY FROZEN Earl Hogan Found Near Da) - ton, Wyoming May ifit‘e to Have Feet Amputated Word was received here Wed- nesday from Dayton, Wyo., stat- ing that Earl Hogan had been brought to Dayton with both feet so badly frozen that the doctor feared amputation. The letter was written by the clerk of the M. W. A. camp of that place to T. E. Gay,the clerk of the local here of which Mr. Bogan was a member. There was no particulars given, merely stating his condition and asking the Hardin camp to send expense money to bear his expenses to his home in Illinois. As the local lodge has just been organized and as many of its members live out of town Mr. Gay made a general appeal to the public and in a few hours secured $35.50 which he forward to Dayton the same evening. One of the members of the Dayton camp left for the east on Thursday morning and the plan was to have him care for Mr. Bogan on the trip, leaving him at his home town. Mr. Bogart is a druggist and will be remembered as hav- ing been at the Reeder drug store during the past summer, leaving here scarcely a month ago'. He went to Billings from here and what he was doing in the coun- try near Dayton is not known. Later news from Dayton states that Mr. Hogan was found on Nov. 27th, by a party of hunters and was kept in camp till Dec. 5, when he was brought to Day- ton. What he was doing or where he was going is unknown. After a more careful examination the doctor advises that two toes on one foot and the half of the other foot is all that will have to be amputated. He has gone to his home as was planned. King Potato State Harlowton News: And say when it comes to potatoes, Mon- tana has the world beaten to a whisper, can give any state in the union card; and spades and win out two to one on the official score. Montana has the best potatoes in the United States, or on the face of the earth for that matter,and the average yield per acre is something to pitch with hay. Montana potatos have been known to turn out 400 bushels per acre, in fact such a yield is hardly astounding in certain lo- calities, but the average yield is considerable below that. The average yield per acre for the United States is eighty-four bushels; well, Montana can double that in average yield, and then some. Pennsylvania comes next to Montana in the average popato yield, at 91 bushels per wife. Montana comes near doubl- ing that at 176 bushels. That is moving some isn't it? And the reason, that Montana spuds cut such a figure is the fact that po- tatoes have been raised in the state since the first trail blazer started to blaze up; the first man on deck happened to bury some potato peelings, and there was no chance for dispute as to the raising of potatoes in Montana. And you can raise them any- where; in the highest mountain, in the lowest plains, in the wet lands, in the dry lands, in any old land, Montana is the natural h , ane of the potato, and if some other place started it first it was because the Montana Booster was an original frost, small potatos and few in a hill. The official figures of the United States de- partment of agriculture gave the average yield of potatoes per acre in the United States as follows: Mon t. and U.S. Av.per acre. Iowa 56 bu. Kansas .. ...... 58 bu. Wisconsin 58 bu. Nebraska. 64 bu. Minnesota 64 bu. Missouri 66 bu. Michigan 78 bu. United States average 84 bu. The Dakotas 86 Pennsylvania 91 Montana 176 bu. bu. bu. Christmas Program Miss Josephine Ackerman, principal of the school, and Mrs. A. L. Mitchell, superintendent of the Congregational Sunday school, have decided to gnite their forces and give a Christmas program in he Thomas hall on Christmas eve: No effort will I be spared on the part of the ladies to make this affair a success. A tree will be in evidence where Santa will have an opportunity to ,bestow his gifts on those whom he loves best, and every child in the vicinity will at least receive a package of candy and nuts. In place of asking for funds to defray expenses with, there will be an admission of ten cents for children and fifteen cents for adults charged. If there is a balance on after expenses are paid, and we trust there will be, it will be applied on a fund which is being created to purchase a library for the Hardin school. Anyone desiring to contribute tol the expenses, however, can leave! their contribution with Gibson Bros. or W. A. Peden. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STATE Figures Show Very Great Ma- terial Gain For Treasurer State A. N.Yoder,secretary of state, on the first day of this month submitted his annual report cov- ering tisk period ending Novem- ber 30, 6 Governor Edwin L. Norris, and pleasing indeed is the showing made. Mr. Yoder de- posited with State Treasurer Es- selstym $16,488.95, the receipts for the quarter ending today and which swells the total receipts for the year to $65,125.45. As this sum represents the fees re- ceived almost exclusively the fill- ing of incorporation papers, for it is to be seen that Montana is a most inviting field. Mr. Yoder said that he was highly pleased with the showing, regarding as he did the receipts of his office as a splendid business barometer, and further that the large receipts indicate that Mon- tana's prosperity was of the most substantial nature. A recapitulation of the receipts of the year shows: Domestic cor- poration, $30,124.60; foreign cor- porations, $29,256.80, notarial commissions, $3,778; certificates and certified copies, $928.65; !railroads ticket agents' licenses !$72; official bonds, $80; warrants and requisitions, $315; trade ' marks, $24; commissioners of deeds, $10; ''miscellaneous, $105; total $65,125.45.

Rug Given Away The $45 dollar Wilton rug, given away at the Gibson Bros'. cash store last Saturday fell to Mrs. L. J. Torske, number 3,210 be- ing the lucky number. Mrs. Torske secured the number with a purchase after she came to town Saturday and when she was declared owner of the rug she could scarcely believe it true. However, she was highly detight- ed as the rug is a very beautiful article. There was a large crowd pre- sent at the drawing and the firm expressed themselves as being satisfied with the experiment. New Proprietors A deal was closed last Satur- day whereby the firm of Curry & Smith. proprietors of the 0 K Stables was changed to Curry & Gordon, Mr. Smith having dis- posed of his interests to Frank Gordon of Lodge Grass. The new firm will erect a modern building on the old site just as soon as the weather will permit and will stock it with first class equipment. As soon as arrangement completed Mr. Gordon will move his family here. He is a stock- man of the highest type and when they get to operating will give the traveling public first class service. are A Social !top Another one of those social balls that has helped to break the menotony of winter life was pulled off at the D. A. Kamp ranch se \ en miles north of town last Saturday evening. Despite the weather a four horse load from Hardin was in attendance and all this week the way those people have been try- ing to explain how that it wasn't 'old would make one wonder if ny real conditions ever did ex - That there are people in Hardin that are not \tender footed\ however, is unquestion- ably so. Milt Lyon furnished the music. Daylight in the morning found those who attended preparing to return to their homes and pleas- ing memories of the evening at Kamp's are cherished by all. An Interesting Experience Messrs. Franklin and Bowman while recently hunting deer had an experience that the former will remember for some time. Mr. Franklin shot a large buck and as the deer was down in his excitement he dropped his gun and ran toward the animal in- tending to cut its throat. It only being wounded, as Franklin ap- proached sprang up and here the fun began. , The deer pitch bat- tle and Franklin says for the next ten minutes he was kept the busiest he has ever been keeping that deer from walking all over him. He succeeded, however, in reaching his gun and shot the enraged brute killing it instant- ly. After the battle was over in taking inventory he found a number of bruises on his body and his clothing literally torn to shreds. Shooting Affair at Toluca William Roemer. the bartender at the Anderson saloon at Toluca, was arrested last Sunday morn- ing by Deputy Sheriff Bateman and taken to Billings in the even- ing and lodged in jail. Roemer became involved with one James Seahill it is alleged over the latters being unable to settle for some drinks which he had bought at the bar. Seahill alleges that Roemer beat him up cruelly with a six shooter and then fired several shots at his feet just to let him see how the gun worked, some of the bullets creasing the soles of his shoes. When Seahill arrived here there was plenty of visible evidence that he had been up against something hard to say the least, Roemer's bond was fixed at $1000 and was lodged in jail to await the raising of the bail. — Southeast Teachers Will Meet The teachers of the southeast- ern part of - the county will hold their second meeting on Dec. 11, at Ballantine. at 10 o'clock in the schoolhouse.
