TWO BAD BOYS WHO MAY
BE SENT OUT TO FARM
Mike Downey and Patrick Sullivan Are
Convicted of Incorrigbility, but
Parents Beg Them Off.


Mike Downey and Patrick SulIiyan,two
boys, were this morning convicted of in
corrigibility before Judge McClernan, but
they will not be sent to the reform sclool
for the present, as their parents were
present to intercede and to promise to
take the boys in hand in the future.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant
County Attorney Dan Yancey and At
torney W. A. Pennington represented the
juvenile defendants.
There wasn't any doubt as to the boys
being incorrigible from the testimony
offered by the state, and even the
parents admitted that they were hard
children TO manage.
Barney McGillic testified that the lads
had broken into an orehouse at the Stew
art mine and stolen some brass and Junk.
He also said the boys had been arrested
on divers occasions and that he thought
the reform school the best place for them.
Judge McClernan admonished the boys
that they would soon be candidates for
the state pcnitentiary instead of the re-
form school unless they mended their
ways and advised the parents to. keep
them at home.
The sentence to the reform school hangs
over them pending their future behavior.

NEW OFFICERS ARE
TO co IN MONDAY
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY THEY WILL
ASSUME PLACES OF AUTHORITY
AND TRUST IN COUNTY,.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.


Anaconda, Dec. so.-One week from
today, that is, Monday morning, January
S, the offcers-elect of Deer Lodge county
will assume their duties. Thereafter
there will be number of new faces to
be seen about the courthouse.
The only Offices in which changes will
not be made is the Office of clerk and re-
corder and clerk of the district court.
The present treasurer will also hold hi.
Office until March.
Jack Conley, who has so efficiently at.
tended to the duties of the sheriff's Office
for the past four years, will step down
and out and will be succeeded by George
Storrar. George Miller. who has gained
the reputation CT being the best and fair
est assessor in Montana, will yield the
Office fixtures that he has had under his
control for the past four years to Mr..
Levengood, whose little to the place is
not quite clear. f'at.
County Attorney-e'ect oMcCaffrey has
made no announcement of who his deputy
will be, although It is known that he has
decided the matter. In counties OF this
class no regular deputy is allowed but
1t has been the custom to appoint one
just the same.
1t is asserted on good authority that
Sherff-elect Storrar has selected James
+. Riordan as under sheriff and Frank
Petelin and ]. II. Melloy as deputies. He,
it is said, has not yet decided upon who
he will appoint as jaier and court bailiif,
but it is understood that the place has
been rendered to Dan Dunn.
Assessorelect Levengood is said to have
rendered the position of deputy to Arthur
Fortier. Mr.. Fortier is in every way
well qualified and deserving of the place.
but there is nothing certain about his
acceptance.
Notwithstanding the pending contest
all of the offcers-elect will assume the
positions to which, on the face Of the
returns, they have been elected. While
the law seems plain that while contest
is pending the salary of the office cannot
be drawn the attorneys for the officers
against whom cases are pending are not
without hope that they will be able to
compel payment of the regular salary in
each case
