HELENA, Dec. 13.-Attorney Gen.
eral Gslen this morning presented a
petition in the district court for the
dismissal of the suit of the state

The suit was a OWL action TO col
lect $40, 600, alleged TO have been re-
ceived by Mr.. Rice as interest on the
states funds. Aside from the matter
In the petition the attorney general

pe,itioned by the legislature to dis.
miss the case on the ground that the
former treasurer had only acted in

been in vogue from the inception Of
the state.
The fact was also brought out that
the legislature had enacted a law rails
ing the bond Of the treasurer from
$3.50, 900 to $500, 900 and that it was
impossible for him to secure the bond
from the surety companies during the
tendency of the suit.

You who like thrills served up in
an old romantic style will be sure
to get them in "Thelma," Willis
Maxwell Goodhue's dramatic ver-
sion of Marie Corelli's powerful TO-
nance, which is to be presented by
Miss Carolyne Mclean in strong
company at the Fay Opera House
next Friday, June II. Even the
gallery gods enthuse, tits said, at
the startling situations and excit-
ing climaxes. 1t is romantic to the
very backbone, though the title
fails to suggest it. Belasco long
ago became famous as the past
master of stage realism. His "Du-
Barry and "Zaza" are said to have
reached the height of perfection
and human interest, but the ring
ing triumph of the present theatric-
al season is this new version of
"Thelma." Miss Corelli has chosen
an exclusive field for her romance
Its pretty love story is told against
the background. of the land of
the midnight sun, where
the fierce. animal nature of man
asserts itself more than in the SUM-
nier Chimes, and the tale of the lily
maid of the Altentjord and her
manly English sutton, Sir Phillip
Errington, is presented in man
ner never-before shown to an Amer.
lean audience. Mr.. Goodhue's
dramatization is said to be the SEN
eation of the year. =* %. - /:
