were defeated in every ward in the city
by clear, clean-cut majorities. In three
of the four wards IL was a straight
contest between recognized members of
the A. +. A. society and candidates who
were opposed to the tenets of that or
ganization. 1t is generally regarded as
a severe blow to a secret combine that
has endeavored to manipulate politics
for the benefit of it's members, and the
result will have material effect in the
approaching county election.

of which are located in Choteau coun-
ty. continue to attract the attention of
the public by drunken brawls and cut
ting ARRAYS and in two instances have
