IV NO 9, THE HARDIN TRIBUNE. MAN GOES FOR MAIL AND NEVER RETURNS Friends of Louie Harms Believe That He Has Either Been Murdered or Thrown From Horse and Killed Louie Harmes, a ranch hand, left the Alex Scholtz ranch locat- ed on Tallac creek on Tuesday morning of last week, stating when leaving that he was going to the Crow Agency after the mail, nothing has been heard of him since and it is the belief of his friends that he has either met with foul play or accident and that he is dead. Mr. Scholtz was in Hardin on Tuesday and reported the matter to the authorities, after having searched several days for the • missing man. When asked if he did not think it possible that Harm' had simply left the coun- try he said, \Oh no, he was not that kind. I have known him for over a year and he is a straight forward, fine fellow.\ When asking him if Harms had any enemies who might have m .de him trouble he stated that hs thought not, sa3ing that he was a free hearted kind fellow and that he never knew of him having any trouble. Mr. Scholtz seems to think that Harms might have met with some accident on account . of his horse.. The ani- mal he rode was inclined to be tricky and he thinks it is just possible that Harms has been thrown and either instantly kill- ed or injured so he could not care for himself in which case he would have died from exposure. The missing man was about 6 feet tall, had dark hair, sandy mustach, weighed about 170 pounds and was 37 years of age. When leaving the ranch he wore a sort of a buff colored suit with light stripes and a soldiers over coat of a kahki color. He rode a dark bay horse branded F on the left jaw H bar E on the left hip. The matter was reported to the authorities at Forsyth and a search will no claubt bs instituted by the that county. Church Notice MORNING-HARDIN Atthe Star Theatre. Sabbath School 10 o'clock.

The commissioners of this and Rosebud county will hold a joint meeting at Forsyth on the 18th at which time the final arrange- ment will he made and we are advised that work will begin on the construction of the bridge within thirty days following the date of the meeting. There seems to be a prevailing feeling, even with the depart- ment at Washington, that now the matter is settled the con- struction of the structure, be hastened as rapidly ag possibre, Bachellor Club Items Mr. Scott has been roaring so we could hear him all over town, but this week he is all smiles, just because his pet dog return- ed. Guy Logan, the ladies man, is getting more and more popular with the fair ones. He is not satisfied with Hardin. Only but a short time ago he went to Bil- lings and mixed in with the up- per \Four Hundred\ of that place and soon we believe he will branch out farther -maybe he will land in Oklahoma for all we know. Big Charley Eder has been rather cranky this week,another trip to Billings we think would change him wonderfully. Harry DeTuncq, the \French Nobleman or blue blood,\ is get- ting very proud, all he can say is \hello chicken,\ but the writer believes he is mistaken. C. C. Calhoun, our secretary, is frisking around like a young colt. We all wonder why he is so happy -maybe he has had some more brown taste. Whit Peden, the retired secre- tary, is the best man in the kitchen this week. Look out for Whit. Thomas Marland has worried so much recently over the loss of his pet dog and that\fatal mans\ tobacco he ran up against, that the waves are coming out of his hair. But to make up for it he is getting pin feathers all over his face, so Tom will be all right by and by. Will Eder, the quiet man at the club, says \look out for me boy's, if fever get started there want be a look in fer the rest,\ and we believe it, because Will is a man of his word. Mrs. Lewis, the cook at the club is just \it she not only Nation& bsink notes outstendiug \1.cfro.uo gi es us plenty to eat but gives Elect Board rangements Will be Made Platt and Fence Grounds Near Future A number of Hardin citizens met at the office of Johnston & Tupper last Saturday evening and organized the Hardin cemetery Association.
