IN new CASTLE

Brib.ry
sreeIal % The EvenIng Iournal.


NEW CASTLE, Nov 7-Democrats
were desperate in their efforts to sain
control of this hundred. The more
they hustled the greater were the ef-
forts Of the Republicans to hold New
Castle in the Republican column.
Shortly before noon Chauncey P. Hol-
comb went before Mayor Evan G. Boyd
and swore out a warrant charging
James Wright, a Republican worker,
with violating the election laws by Of
ferlng a bribe TO a voter Wright was
arrested by officer Tobin and Mayor
Boyd held him in 5000 bail for hear
ing tomorrow. Former Sheriff Taylor
went on his bond.
Joe Wesley Smith in the presence Of
Captain Holcomb and three others al
legged that Wright had offered him
money * he voted the Republican
ticket Smith voted the ticket and
Wright refused to give him any money.
Holcoinb then went before Mayor
Boyd and swore out the warrant.
Wright says that he never promised
the old man any money and says that
the arrest was made to deter him and
other workers, but instead of having
the effect desired it had the very op-
posite and the workers went at the
western district in earnest.
Smith further alleges that promin-
ent Democrat had given him the dol
a. 4. !. 49, al
that he would vote the Democratic
ticket. 1t is understood that
the Democrat who furnished the cash
for registration to Smith will be ar
rested.

why Give Tips9

Editor The Evening Journal.
1t has been the custom Of the patrons
Of the skating rink Of this city to give
the skate boys a tip now and then
thinking, Of course. that the same
would help to swell their wages
have learned from persons who are
in a position TO know that these boys
are compelled TO turn this money over
TO the management Of the rink.
From rough calculations / have
figured that the management has re-
ceived from these boys enough money
to pay them their wages and still have
some left.
Skaters. when you tip let it be under
stood that the management is not TO
get your coin.
Yours truly,

Congress a bill regulating the divorce
laws But il soon realized that 1t would
be imnossible 20 secure the pafsaee of
such bill. as II would be unconstitution-
al. Then a more proper procedure WIS
edopted. which called for the Introduction
Of one bill in the legislatures OF All thd
states. The bin is model one Of its Kind
and was drafted by distinguishes lawyers
and clergymen. who are thoroughly fam'-
liar with the evil as It now exists. The
time has now come for definite action. and
It is sincerely hoped that the effort Will
result in something beneficial and lasting
If we would only follow the example OF
Canada on this question we would Ger
tainly have a better nation. Canada cor
tainly holds the palm for the small Num-
Der OF divorces granted. and when we
take into consideration what has to be
gone through before decree is granted
we wonder why anyone wants TO take the
trouble to ask for an official separation
OF marital bonds In direct contrast TO

1t is said that no matter what the
distress and scandal and humiliation
which follow the marriage of Ameri-
can girls with titled foreigners who
seeks such wives merely to secure
their money. there Is yet no American
girl who would refuse an offer from a
duke or an earl or count. ! don't be-
lieve this. The emotion OF love is not
yet extinct In the competition OF
American rich girls. and / personally
knew some Of them who have rejected
the attention OF titled foreigners when
visiting abroad.
The simple truth is, that any man
who marries a girl for her money will
be sure to maltreat his wife sooner or
later. no matter what his nationality
or whether he has a title or not. II he
could get the money without the en-
cumberance Of the girl he would do
so. and after he gets the girl, II the
money stops, we have the parallel Of
the Castellane tradegy.
In the presence Of all the disgusting
experience OF American girls and titled
foreigners, however-and surely in the
light OF the Castellane and Marl-
borough scandles-American million
.airesses should be frightened at the
very thought Of such a marriage. Nc

NJ E. Knowles of Montana and DIR.
J.. G. Rutherford, veterinary inspector
general Of Canada, relative to the al
legged existence in Montana of dourine
and ether infectious diseases, with the
result that federal inspectors have
been sent to Montana, who sustain the
contention of Dr. Knowles that while
symptoms may have existed, the state
is free from maladie du colt and
dourine. Further examinations will be
conducted in Teton, Custer and Daw-
son counties, however, and to these the
Canadian authorities have been in
vited to send representatives that the

TWO ANGRY SQUAWS
ATTACK WHITE WOMAN

POCATELLO, Aug. 29.-Warrants
have been issued for the arrest of two
Bannock Indian squaws, who are
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon upon two white women, Fran
els Croshaw and Matilda Taylor at
Bell marsh, seven miles from Mccain
mon, on August 20. While riding
across the country the two women
were assaulted by the squaws with a
revolver, their horse was beaten until
he fell, throwing them to the ground
and breaking one of the women's arms.
The attack was the outgrowth of an
old feud over range privileges. A SIM
liar assault occurred a year ago, re-
sulting in the two squaws serving a
short term in Jail. Sheriff Harvey has
gone to arrest the squaws.

TO TEST MONTANA'S
NEW EIGHT HOUR LAW,

The constitutionality of Montana's
eight hour law is to be determined by
the highest authority in Montana, and
that, too, within a reasonably short
time. A transcript on appeal in the
Park county suit of the state against
the Livingston Concrete Building &
Manufacturing company was filed in
the supreme court last week, by the
plaintiff in the action. The appeal
is from the judgment of Judge Frank
Henry in declaring unconstitutional
the law because of the fact that it
fails to fix the responsibility for VIOLA
lions, and other alleged deficiencies.
The supreme court will meet in Octo-
Der, and will doubtless fix the argu-
ment for an early date because of the
farreaching effect Of Judge Henry's
decision.
