Sheriff Joe 7. Smith received a very
fine deers head, with large spreading
horns, six poongs, with a letter from
John T Smith, AT Livingston, Mont,
presenting is 10 Bates county to
adorn the walls of the new court
house. Sheriff Smith had it placed
on the wall over the circuit Judges
stand. John T. Smith began the
practice of laS in Butler and rose to
distinction in his profession here, but
Sickness in his family compelled him
to go to another climate, where he
has bulls NJ - reputation as a law
yer second 20 none in the western
part OF Montana, and has accumu.
lated wealth.. but he never forgets
his old friends in Butler and Bates
county.
d. D. McCSnn announces as cana
didate for the democratic nominal
ton for city marshal. He has served
as deputy sheriff for a long term OF
years and NJ can truthfully say,
without ia.r ufcontra iiction that he
has made one oi the best deputy
sheriifs Bates county ever had. He
performs his duties promptly and
fearleesly and 10 process, no matter
how dittieul;. Is ever put in his hand,
when the party can be found, but
what it is served, He is thoroughly
competent for the Office of marshal. |
He would preserve order and see that
the laws are enforced without fear or
favor. Without disparagement to
other candidates claims, we do not
believe the democratic party can
find a better nominee.
