FROM MONTANA Interesting Statement of Facts Concerning That Creat Western State. • The Decatur Democrat, Decatur. Indiana > Editor Democrat Hearing that you were desirous of having a little piece of news from ' Montana, will do my best at furnishing yon with a few facts which may be of some little interest to your r> aders. Os course you ai know of the crisis in which this state was plunged during the recent closing of smelters and mines. However, they have been reopened and business is better now than it has been anytime since October la«t when the shut down occured. Without mating mention of the fact. Montana up to recent years has de voted almost all of her time and attention to mining and smelting of ores as well as sheep, horse and cattle raising, however agriculture is attracting more and mere attention each year and upon driving through the country in season one can see the waiving gram, at the same time being reminded of good eld Indiana. Prices in every thing of course are high here but wage? are according. It seems to me from what little I have had occasion to have done, it cost about five dollars to look at a newspaper man. We are having just fine weather now but the rainy season will soon be on but it is of only short duration. The winters are mild, and although the thermometer some times runs as low as • * degrees below. we do not notice it or sailer more from the cold than you would in Indiana at from 1 to 12 degrees below. The pleasant part of this extremely cold weather is that only last 2 or 3 days and then we have what we term a “cbinook. the same being a warm wind from the Japan current across the Pacific. Sometimes during the holidays it is mild, just like spring days and tn passing along rhe street one can -ee the doors of the stores wide open. There are several places of interest here one being the place where Lewis & Clark passed through on their fam us expedition, the same place being very near to the Great Falls of the Missouri, so.ll to be next in size to Niagara in the United States When the water is high the Falls are very beautiful indeed. Another interesting feature is the “Grant Springs ’ which are the largest f their kind in the w?rid. Another fall I Urg tt- mennen is the rainb. w. At a certain time of the falling water at just a certain angle we.can a •-auttful argtrainbow;, this fact make a- - I fear I already written at too great length and so will close thanking y n greatly for so kindly remembering me with your c.;.::v. it is indeed verv interesting and proves a great comfort to me. Again thanking you. sign myself. Sopha Mangold. Birthday Surprise. A big birthday surprise party was held Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs Fred Bohnke. st.. who lives just three miles east from our city, with Mr. Bohnke being the victim, and for once in his long career as a citizen of our county he was forced to acknowledge the fact. The affair had been quietly arranged by his wife and children and all during last week their home took on an air of mystery which Mr Bohnke was unaNe to solve. But when 218 of his relatives neighbors and numerous friends burst in upon him he began to realize that the mystery was clearing and his mind began to review past events and he at last figured out that he had reached the seventieth mile stone of his life, then all was clear. Never before in that neighborhood was a surprise party so well attended, and never before was such a fine time had. The morning and afternoon were pleasantly spent by playing numerous games and by repeating ancient history and recent events and during these con versa ti ns Mr Bohnke discovered another event that bad long escaped his mind and attention and something else to long remember theoccassion by and that was that he and his brothers just fifty years ago to the day arrived in this county an I became American

citizens. At promply twelve o'clock all guests were invited in to their spacious lifting to partake of the sumptions dinner that Mrs. Bohnke had prepared and after all were seated another surprise was in store for Mr. Bohnke. Upon turning his plate over found a ■ beautiful solid gold watch chain. . Mrs. Bohnke in the meantime un > suspicious turned her plate over | and it was her time to be amazed for under her plate she found a beautiful solid gold ring. After the j \ excitment had subsided all heartily nartook of the repast. Another feat-' ure of the day seems that was especialy noticeable was the difference in ages among the guests present there being 126 old people, forty two middle aged and young people, j thirty eight small children and twenty two babies. And all in all it was a happy gathering. After partaking of supper the guests all i departed for their respective homes, j wishing Mr. bohnke many more sach happv occasions. — Sensational Divorce Case. A sensational divorce case was filed in court late Saturday by Attorney J. CM- ran. entitled Emma Gage vs. Laban H Gage. The complaint recites that the couple were married June 5. 1899 and . . lived together until July 3 19(2. The defendant is charged with having treated his wife in a cruel and inhuman manner, struck and cursed her but the serious charge is as foflows: On a day in June 1A 2 Gase and his wife and baby went to Berne, and on their way home ■ had to cr<«ss the G. R & I- railway. They were riding in a buggy and while approaching the track Mrs Gage observed a train approaching at a great rate of speed. She spoke t- her husband who said it was not a train but a track light and urged his horse on. though his wife begged him to stop. When near the track and with the train close upon them Gage jumped from the rig and ran in an opposite direction. Mrs. Gage and her baby were forced to remain in the rig. which barely missed being struck by the train. Mrs Gage was badly frightened and alleges in her complaint that she believes that her husband thus at tempted to take her life. The affair made her so fear her husband that she has since lived with her father. The custody of her only son. Jacob Gage, alimony and support are asked for. ...Legal Advertising OF ADMINISTRATOR.
