FRIDAY. MARCH Is. 1925
oIrIznNs rIcKrr rnn rnINa.

Next month the voters Of Guthrie
will be called on to exercise their cleo
tive franchises and to name men for a
number OF municipal places. On the
5th OF the month the regular muniei-
pal election takes place, and a new
school board, four members OF the
city council, an attorney and a street
commissioner are TO be voted for, The
present mayor and the remainder OF
city officials hold Office until next
spring.
During the past four years, the de-
sire OF the better element OF the
Democratic party, especially, has been
TO lift municipal affairs, as far as pos
sible, from the tAint OF parts anship,
Particularly has this been the case in
the matter OF nominating candidates
for city offices. This rule, while IL has
not been MS successful as the average
taxpayer could wish for when voting
day rolls round. has, nevertheless, in
several instances, caused good men TO
be placed in office-men who are tax
payers and who have the welfare Of
the town at heart. Moreover, this
rule has caused the dominant party in
the city 80 nominate it's best material
for places Of trust and as result
al attempts at rottenness and corrup.
tion have, for the most part, been
checked or nipped in the bud. During
the past two years both the council
and school board have been free from
taint, as compared with former years.
But in the case OF the former, perhaps
fear had much to do with this showing,
while in that of the latter there were
Democrats and absolutely straight Re-
publicans on guard. However, this
condition OF affairs, in order to exist,
must be carefully watched AMI nur
tured. Now that another election
comes on apAce, worthless white Re
publicans and the usual horde OF
blacks elamor for recognition from the
Republican machine, and unless the
citizens VI the city take decisive action,
the machine will bow to the di.tstes
Of the hoi polloi and frame their ticket
with material from the purlieus.
Therefore, the Taxpayers OF the city
should bestir themselves. cast poll
tics aside, call mass conven-
tion and nominate ticket com
posed Of men Of unqaestioned honesty
and integrity. United sction slo q
this line will overthrow the machine,
bury the blacks, and place good n en-
in the council and on the seho o)l toRrt.
For the betterment OF city govern-
ment, Democrats, Populists and Re
publicaEs should bury psrtisanship
and unite in a campaign that will in.
sure the election OF the best material
for tho offices to be filled on April 5th
Immediate action is required in this
matter, and The LEADER suggests
that mass meeting OF all law abiding
citizsns, regardless Of party, be called
at once TO decide on plan of action
for nominating citizens ticket.

COrnered the Currie Gang.

1t is now known positively where
the Currie gang of outlaws is. ] Z.
Craig, superintendent OF the Three
Y Cattle company, arrived in Dead.
wood Tuesday, fresh from the trail
Of the robbers.
He was a member Of the last posse,
and for days, he says, they followed
the gang across the country toward
the British possessions. Several
times the posse a. close enough to
find a fresh camp fire; on several
occasions, some of the camp outfit
OF the gang was left, so great was
their hurry to get away. A saddle
and a revolver were left at one time,
and it is stated that the revolver
is the same n that was
taken from the Belle Fourche bank
at the time of the attempted rob-
berry. Toward evening Of one day
the posse saw man about d mile
r
ahead, who was recognized as one
of the outlaws. 1t was found they
had their camp set there, and the
posse, only four in number, divided,
two going to each side in hope Of
capturing the men. They were dis
covered, aud u lively fusilade fol-
lowed with Wholesalers. In the
darkness the gang escaped.
The trail was picked up again
at daybreak, and for several mi es
it led straight north. In the after
noon d heavy snow storm fell. which
covered up The tracks. AS soon as
the outlaws found that they
were no longer pursued they turned
around and headed back for the
Hole-in- he-WaIl country, and it is
there, Mr.. Craig states, that they
are now.
Three of the gang were rccog-
nized, two of them being the Rob
erts brothers, who escape" from the
Dvadwood Jill. and are wanted for
the Belle Fourche bank robbery,
the third being Currie himself. The
fourth nan was not recognized
