In 1928 the Couutr Court proposed 20
Sny farm for the benent OF the In
mates who's unfortunate lot Is To be
la the Poor House. At the Septem Der
term of toe Circuit Court In lses, the
several farms Of Elisha Thomas were
sold and committee Of two OF the
County Court bought one of the farms
that lay south of Ningwood, about one
mile. Mr. IL NJ. Hartley, who was
one of the court. aad who was over
seer over the steward ot the Poor
House, hired Elisha Thomas to pillow
the grouad and sow seven and one.

goth and 27,h OF june, lSse. under
the supervision OF toe Steward, who
has tull charge over the poor house
aud farm There MAS Nv dozen OF
wheat which thresded 60 bushels
OF wheat. We cut about rs tons OF
good hav, 240 dozens OF oats, S2s shocks
OF corn, OF which we shucked $40
bushels of corn. We sowed on the
fth day of July, six and one.tenth
acres of buck wheat. which was cut.
and threshed 1908 bushels We dug
90 bushels of potatoes In the year
that has passed have sown 10 acres
OF timothy and clover seed, aud sowed

Does not this look like living for the
poor people that are sent to the Poor
House And we believe the farm will

there was over 81, 600 paid out for the
support of the poor last wear, and the
statement in 1898 showed over six
thousand dollars for the same purpose.
Some people think that these poor
people ought not To work. while others
think they should. For my part l
THINK 1T is better for them TO work.
One reason is. they are healthy whom
they work, and when they do not

BEASLEY'S INJURED FEELINGS.
The First Step In the $4,000 Damage
Case.

Case.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Big Timber. Feb. 2O.-In the district
court here to-day the suit for $4,000
for libel brought by Representative w.
w. Beasley against several prominent
republicans of this town whom he ac-
cused of hanging him in effigy after
he had voted for w. A. Clark, came OH
to be heard on a demurrer filed Satur-
day by the defense to the effect that
the complaint did not allege facts suffi-
Gent to constitute cause Of action.
The demurrer was argued at consider
able length by Attorneys Sydney Fox
and e. M. Hall of this place for the de-
Tense and A. G. Hatch and Sydney
Sanner of Big Timber and o. F. Cod
dard Of Billings for the plaintiff The
point of the defense was that the COM
plant did not allege that the charges
made in the hanging of the effigy and
the placards thereon were false. In
ruling upon the demurrer the court
offered to allow the plaintiff to interline
the world false into the complaint
and override the demurrer, but the
PLAINTIFFS attorneys declined to avail
themselves of this privilege. whereupon
the court promptly sustained the de-
murrer, giving the plaintiff 80 days in
which to file an amended complaint.
The attorneys for the plaintiff declined
to state whether they would appeal to
the supreme court from to-day's ruling
or hle an amended complaint.
