Rev j Nj Little Fought Mormon
I,l.la.,

heV 81 Nj Little Fought Mormon
Elders.
From yesterdays Monroe En-
qulrer we clip the following:
Two Mormon Elders went tc
Wingate, six miles east of here
last Friday and before they left
that village ran up against Rev.
j. w. Little, a Baptist minister
VINO is we'll known throughout
this section for his unique ways of
going for those men and measure
which are obnoxious to him.
Mr.. Little and the elders enga
ged in conversation and the subjec
tive of polygamy, as practiced by
the Mormons, was sprung. One
of the Elders said that he had no
argument against polygamy, but
the mother of Christ practiced it.
That assertion was too much for
Mr.. Little and we learned that he
told the elder that be could say
what he pleased about jimmy
Little but he had gone too far in
slandering that woman, and with
that declaration he landed a fist
on the Elders mouth, and the ell
der not being a man of war, turn
ed to flee and as he did so Mr..
Little kicked him, and also kicked
the other Elder and threw valise
which one, had left after them and
told them never to come to Win
gate again. Neither of the Elders
showed fight.
TheseElders have been workingln
the eastern part of the county for
sometime, we are told. We venture
the assertion that they will make
themselves scarce about Wing ate
for that is the home of j. w.
Little.

to Fort Benton.
Butte, Jan. 23.-The motion for a
change of venue in the action for an
injunction and for a contempt order
in the Pennsylvania case came up
for hearing in Judge Clancy's court
today. The motions were based up
on affidavits alleging the bias and
prejudice of the court against the
Boston & Montana company.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Clancy said he would grant the
motions and then proceeded to con-
suit a book giving the boundaries of
the various judicial districts in the
state and names of the presiding
judges and other officials.
The court ordered the cases sent to
the Twelfth judicial district, embrac-
ing Chouteau and Valley counties.
The attention of the court was called
to the fact that under the law a case
must be removed to the nearest coun-
ty to that in which it originates. The
order made by the court was for a re-
moval of the two cases to the most
distant northeasterly judicial dis
tricts In the state, with Jefferson.

In the order was made. The transfer
