We wish to inform the Great
Falls Tribune that Dupuyer does
not claim the honor of having had
H. R. Scullin, recently convicted
of forgery in Great Falls, as a resi
dent. He has been here cnce or
twice, but never engaged in busi
ness here, nor had any business
connections with any of our citiz
eus. Choteau or Robare may
claim him, but not Dupuyer. »
The quarantine of Teton county
against diseased sheep is a good
thing, and it is to be hoped that it
is not already too late. The dis
ease is approaching perillously near
our boundries and every means
should be taken to avoid its further
encroachment. It is to the inter
est of private individuals as well as
public officers to do their utmost to
keep out a disease the spread of
which must impoverish not only
the sheepmen, but nearly every
individual in the county.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McKnight
gave an "at home" at their resi
dence last Thursday night at which
a large number of their friends
from town and country assembled.
Dancing and whist playing occu
pied the guests until near morning.
All enjoyed themselves, thanks to
the excellent management , and
courteous demeanor of the host
and hostess. It was one of those
parties that lend a charm to social
life and make people better pleased
with friends and neighbors.
Thos. McGovern, of Robare, was
up before Judge Magee on Satur
day ou a charge of selling whisky
by retail without a license. Mr.
McGovern has a wholesale license
and claimed that he did cot sell by
retail. County Attorney Sulgrove
was present to prosecute and
Treasurer Bristol to testify as to
the license, Several witnesses
were examined that had been at
McGovern's place on Feb. 4th. It
appeared to be difficult to deter
mine whether the whisky sold on
that occasion were by wholesale or
retail. At any rate the judge con
cluded the evidence damaging
enough to fine the defendant five
dollars and costs, in all amounting
to $33.50, which was paid.

and endeared herself to all by her
gentle ways and quiet manners.
After the moderate weather of

Mrs. E. S. Dutcher has gone on

Scullin a Former.
A young man named H. R. Scul
len came down to Great Falls from
Choteau yesterday morning, says
the Anacouda Standard of Feb. 27,
and celebrated his arrival by get 1 -
ting on a royal drunk. His supply
of money was not large enough to
continue the jag in as swift a man
ner as he desired and he drew
checks on the Cascade bank of W.
E. Hodgskiss to each, representing
that the checks were paid him in a
business deal by W. E. Hodgskiss,
assessor of Teton county, and a
well known resident of Choteau.
He had no trouble in having them
cashed. One of the checks for $18
was cashed by Milt* Henderson,
and two, aggregating $19, were
cashed at the Fashion saloon.
Scullen was jailed last nignt on a
chargeof drnnkenness, and this
morning it developed that he had
forged Hodgskiss' name to the
checks. He had written the name

Hodkies" instead of Hodgskiss
and the error led to his being
charged with forgery. He plead
ed guilty, was bound over to the
district court this morning and
this afternoon arraigned before
Judge Benton, acknowledged his
guilt and was sentenced to hard
labor in the penitentiary for 18
months. Yesterday morning Scul
len arrived in town. Last night
he committed the forgery; the
crime was discovered this morning
through the clever work of Chief
of PoliceGerin and officer Grillen
berger; this afternoon he was ar
raigned in court, pleaded guilty,
and was sentenced to the peniten
tiary and to morrow he will be
taken to Deer Lodge. The last 36
hours have developed a rapidchange
in the young man's career and in
dicates that the wheels of justice
in this county revolve swiftly but
smoothly.

Is located to the north of the center of the state, on Dupnyw
Creek, in pla n view of the Rocky Mountains, and only Wo kours ride
from the beautiful Fish Lake, which abounds with lish, mostly of tb«
trout species. Ihis lake is situated in the foot hills of the Rooky
Mountains, and in its vicinity is to be found game of every description,
including grouse, ducks, prairie chicken, wild geese, deer, bear and elk.
Dupuyer is situated near the geographical center of the cour.ty of
Teton—one of the best agricultural and stock raising counties in the
state.
It is situated in the center of the Dupjyer creek valley, which
slopes gently from the Rocky Mountains for a distance of twenty.five
I il es, with an average width of ten miles. It is thickly settled, mid
some of the tinest ranches are to be found j and are highly improved
and cultivated, with a complete system of irrigation, covering the
entire length and breadth of the valley.
Water Power and Fuel Supply.
Dupuyer has a spiet.'did water power which can be utilized with
very little cost to run flouring mills, elcctrie plants, saw r»ills and
other machinery. Dupuyer has a railroad connection with Great Falls
on the south by the Great Falls & Carada railroacT, from which it is
distant twenty eight miles. It is situated thirty miles from Blackfoot,
on the Great Northern railroad, and lias daily mail service to the east
and west. A telegraph and telephone line to connect Dupuyer with
Pondera and the east is contemplated, and will be built in the earlv
spring.
Next, to the groat natural reeources of Dupuyer is the unlimited
coal supply contiguous to it. The coal field adjacent to Dupuyer and
within twelve miles, cover an immense ares, and are of the finest
quality; excelling that of Lethbridge and Sand Coulee. They are very
very accessible for trfinsportation and easily mined. Wood in abnnd.
ance is to be found in the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains, ton miles
distant, and is important for building purposes.
n
Wool.
We point with pride to the fact, that there is no vicinity in
Montana, of the area of Dupuyer valley, that ships the same quantity
of wool. In the neighborhood of 250,000 pounds being shipped out of
tnis immediate neighborhood every year, besides thousands of fat
mutton for the eastern markets.
Stock Raising.
This is one of the chief industries of this vicinity, thousands of
fine horses and cattle abound on the ranges, and are always in fine
condition and command the highest prices in the eastern markets.
Business Ii?d(iceme*?ts.
The president of the Dupuyer townsite, offers free of cost, sites
to any one that will build and operate a seventy-five barrel flouring
mill, a creamery, an oat meal mill or a woolen factory.
