Subject* of Incorporation Submitted to Voters Qualified Electors Will be Called Upon to Settle the Most Important Matter in Hardin' i ii History—December 23 is Date of Election The long snd much talked of question of incorporating Hardin is at last to be decided by the qualified electcrs living within the stated limits given in the no- tice of • election which appears elsewhere on this page. At a meeting of the county commissioners in September J. S. Tupper was appointed to take the census to ascertain if Hardin poasessed the required popula- tion. The census showed there were a sufficient number and Mr. Tupper reported to that effect. At the meeting of the com- missioners this month the matter was taken up and the date for a special. election _was set. The election will occur December 23, in the rear of the First National bank with W. J. Scott, T. E. Gay, J. S. Tupper, J. W. Johns- ton and C. B. Schneider as judg- es of the election. It is the hope of many of Hardin's citizens that the matter may be favorably looked upon and that the town will be :ncor- porated. The advantages to be gained by this movement are in- nummerable, so let the good be done. Fred E. Miller went to Sheri- dan yesterday. Verne Doane was a Billings visitor Wednesday.

WORK ON BANK IS NOW COMPLETE Building Has Been Completely Re-built—Have Installed New Doors to Vault and Burglar Proof Safe The work of rebuilding the First National Bank buildin has been completed and adds much to its appearance as well as its service. The interior of the building has been entirely rebuilt giving nearly double the - A - orking space formerly had, with a nice roomy office in the rear and a cashier's private office in front. A new 16 -bolt, compression lock vault door of the heaviest type has been put in place, while the old safe has been replaced with a modern up-to-the-minute Diebold \Tisco\ Manganese Steel bank sate, which is absolutely burglar proof. At a test of the strength of this safe made on September 1st at Canton, Ohio, by a party of experts 53 ounces of nitro gli('- erine was used without an eff.-t other than a slight springing of the door but not nearly sufficient to open it. One of. the experts said that the last shots used would have wrecked a modern battle ship. A safe deposite vault has been added equipged with a number of safe deposite boxes for the use of their customers. This has the same style vault door as the other vault. The new safe and the nvia style vault doors makes this in- stutition as near burglar proof as is possible to be, The enlarg- ing of the working space will not only be a source of pleasure to the management but will, en- able them to give their patrons better service. These changes have all been brought about oy the rapid expansion of the business. In the rear of the building are two very fine effices.' The first, occupied A. L. Mitchell is equip- ped with a vault which insures the absolute safety of all insur- ance or other important papers intrusted to his keeping. The other is to be occupied by Judge Miller where he will hold, his court and maintain a real estate office. Bank Statement The financial statement of the First National bank appears on this page. We wish to call at- tention to the liberal reserve this statement shows. The law re- quires a reserve of 15 per cent, while this statement shows a re - reserve of nearly 33 1-3 per cent. A large reserve is a depositors greatest assurance of a banks re- liability. Harvey Harmoh has secured the agency for Sheridan beer and has received a car load of the goods. Harvey is a great advo- cate of Sheridan beel and will no I doubt sell the goods. I A. Barton of Olerich So. Dak. ' was in this vicinity yesterday looking up a business location. When leaving last evening he stated that he thought he would return and settle here. Geo. Green has opened a chilli joint in connection of the Little Gem saloon. Besides serving chilli he serves sandwiches of ad kinds and is meeting a much needed want in his line.

Specifically, The allegations were that on July 14 last, Bear presented a $15 check to Charles Fleming of this city, securing the cash thereon,, snd that when the paper was presented at the Yegen Bro. Saving bank pay- ment was refused on the ground that the Indian had no funds on deposit. Bear was tal*n into custody the latter part of July on com- plaint of Arthur Waldo, at that time manager of a local hotel, on the ground that he had obtained approximately $230 from him un- der fraudulent pretenses. White Bear is a Carlisle grad- uate and speaks English fluently.

Will Exploit Soil of Big Horn Valley A I ittle New History An old time scout, Robert Jackson, now living at Costilla. N. M., is reported to be offering a startling addition to history in the statement that Gen. George A. Custer, the hero of the Cus- ter massacre, long believed to have been killed and scalped by the Sionx Indians, but died as a result of a gun shot, wound in- flicted by his own hand, rather than to be taken prisoner. Jackson was for nine and one- half, years a scout and guide far the United States soldiers, his service begining in 1874 and end- ing in 1883, Jackson served un- der Gen. Otis, Gen. Reno, Col. Bentine, Gen. Miles, Gen. Cus- ter and Gen. Hazen. At the time of the battle in which Custer met his death Jackson was serving in the 6th U. S. Infantry, carrying, dis- patches to Gen. Otis, then in command of the 22nd Infantry. Jackson was with the first com- pany to reach the battlefield af- ter the massacre and gives in de- tail the scene as it presented its - self to him. Jackson was com- manded by Gen. Reno to talk with the Indians after they had been subdued by the United States troops in the hopes , f finding out how Custer was -killed. The Indians told Jack- son that Gen. Custer was the last mar, to fall in battle. They wanted to take him a- live, bellying that with him as a prisoner they could force the government to terms. Realizing this fact, Jackson says that the Indiamr told him that Custer placed a gun to his head and fired. According to Jackson the Indians all loved - Custer and called him '`The Long -Haired Chief.\ Choice, sorted potatoes for i sale. —T. A. Lewis. C. M. Bair Will convert Ranch Into Experimental Farm—Will Put Thoroughly Experienced Man in Charge— Will Pay Special Attention to Beets New Firm Ready for BusiueFs The sale of the stock of the Thomas hardware reported in last weeks issue of the Tribune has been completed, invoice has been taken and the new firm have taken control. Just to start\ the business off in a good sub- stantial way they have ordered $2,500 of additional stock, which when received will furnish their customers a complete line of goods to select from. They state that it is their am- bition to give the public the best service possible. - They will keep a high grade of goods and a stock that will meet re- quirements of their trade. It will be a one -price store where goods will be sold on as close a margin as conservative business principles will allow. As stated last week the busi- ness will be managed by Chas. Eder, who has grown up in the business and knows it from A to Z The firm will be known as the Eder Hardware, in place of the Hardin Hardware Co., as - stated in last weeks issue. They respectively invite the entire public to call and look over their stock which will always be a pleasure to show. Don't Forget It Everybody should bear in mind that the Catholic ladies serve one of their elegant sup- pers on Thanksgiving evening in the Hardin dining hall. This supper will be the best ever and those who like good things to eat cannot afford to let this opportunity sli,p by. Supper will be served from 5:30 p. m. until all are served. C. M. Bair of Billings, was re- cently here looking ,after his ranch interests. Mr. Bair has a large ranch lying just north of town on which he has spent a large sum of money this season making improvements till it is now concealed to be the best im- proved ranch in the valley. In speaking of this ranch Mr. Bair said: \I have just began my work on this property. It is my plan to convert this ranch into an experimental farm. When the sod is thoroughly rot- ted I shall secure the service of a practical fruit grower and then make a test and accertain what this soil is best adapted to grow. I haue always taken a great deal of interest in this valley and believe the establishing ,of such a station here will be of great benefit to the valley as a whole.\ While making this test Mr. Bair stated that he should pay special attention- to the sugar beet industry so that we may know just what return this soil will give in that line. Such an experiment should be of untold benefit to this valley. It is 'an easy matter to tell peo- ple what can be grown here but to get them believe it is another. matter. But when you can show 1 them they are covinced. We know of no other man who owns land so well prepared to do this work as Mr. Bair and his effort in this matter should be appre- ciated. W. W.
