Judgment in Five Suits.
Great Falls, Dec. 9.-In the district
court this morning George b. Frye &
Co. of Bynum confessed Judgment in
i've cases brought against them for
debt, and in each case an execution was
issued to Teton county. The creditors,
in whose favor the executions are is
sued, are L. H. Cohn, $293. 40; H. Strain,

halter, $S62.25, and Royal Milling com
pany. $216.40, all OF this place.
Frye was merchant at Bynum for
number OF years and postmaster as
well, until few months ago, when the
government sent an inspector to eX-
anime into his office, and he reported
Frye short over $4,000. He mad report
ed that amount in fictitious cancellation
of stamps to the department, FRYE

his bondsmen and it is probable that
his will be one of the cases investigated

We're so uncertain and there We're so
many contingencies that the board
thought it impossible or. at least, I'M
wise to let contract The board did
this part of the work, the chairman,
Mr. Carney, having personal direction
of the construction of the cement
walls under the supervision of the
architect, c. S. Hare. The contract
for putting in the heating plant, COM
plete, was let to the Adams Heating
and Plumbing company of Helena. The
room over the boiler house is not fin
ished; il iS1 yet to be Veneered and
plastered. If this could be done i'm
mediately we could use it for a dormi-
tory or play room for the boys: as it is,
it can only be used for a drying room.

sary repairs about the place.

I feel that it is my duty to call at
tention of the board to the crowded
condition of the home. In my judgment.
We must either reuse to admit any
more children, except as others are sent
away or else some provision must be
made for more room. We are now
using the hospital for nursery and
one room of the school h0uEe for boys

I have before called the attention OF
the board to the fact that the time will
come when it will be necessary to make
some arrangement for the supervision
of those placed in homes. In all indent-
ures the board reserves the right to
have the child returned to the institu-
ton, if it is deemed best In most cases
we have no means of knowing the sur
roundings and treatment of children,
except from report and correspondence,
No argument is needed to show now
unreliable both may be. Especially is
this true for distant parts of the state,
where all parties concerned are strang-
ers to us. An ideal supervision would
be that OF some person. connected with
the institution, and thus acquainted
with the character and needs of the
children, to give his whole time to the
work: not only to look after the inter-
asts of those already placed in homes,
but to find suitable homes for
other children. Some arrangement
might be made for temporary and par
tial supervision until the work will
justify the employment of an agent for
all his time.
