 able AhafP

The annual barbecue of the Mont gomery Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. to be given at Pickett Springs Thursday. will be the greatest that 1t has ever held. Rob- ert Lowe and George Stewart. Chair men of the joint committees on prep aration, have worked steadily and they announced last night that their labors had been completed.
 It is expected that more than 500 per- sons will attend. Most of them will be members of the Lodge and their wives or friends of the fair sex; only a few men not members of the order have been invited. A pleasant feature of the barbecue Is the fact that all of the members of the Lodge are "ex-ofiicio" members of the Reception Committee and will do all possible to make visi- tors feel that they are Elks for a time at least.
 Luncheon will be served from II a. m. to noon; dinner at o'clock. Both meals will be elaborate and delicious.
 Pickett Springs Park has been en- gagged exclusively for the use of the Elks on Thursda!.
 The orchestra engaged for the day will be on the grounds from il o'clock in the morning until o'clock at night.

THE HIGH SCHOOL
Miss Alice Power Wins First
Place in Declamatory Con-
test at Missoula.

Miss Alice Power, representing the
Hamilton high school, was success
ful awoug many contestants in vic
ming first place an tlte annual state

caused general qualification.
Miss Powers selection was THE
Murderer" one of Edgar Allen Poe's
lurid classics rarely if ever spokeu.
Her delivery of the piece was dra-
matte and pleasing. She clearly out
classed all other contestants in corr
petition for the coveted honor, while
the Butte and Missoula high schools
tied for second place. Miss Margery
Chambers won for the Hamilton higt
school in the declanatory coatcst tt1ree
years ago.
Within the last four years, under

times out of a possible eight in state
contests. First place has been won
twice in four deciamatory contests,
once in two debating contests, and
once in one essay contest, while Miss

and Alice Power.
The high school has not gone in for
athletics and has made no showing in
the interscholastic track meet held
annually at the university, but has
captured practically ALI the other

ROBERTSON TRIAL SET
FOR MONDAY, JUNE |
Chief Charles and Other In
dians Testify In Mckellar
Creek Water Suit.

Testimony in the suit involving the
waters of Mcclellan or Charles Greek I,
which flows into the Bitter Root river
Just north of Victor, was concluded
Yesterday and the case was taken un-
der advsement by Judge Myers.
The parties to this suit are Eli
Downing and A. N. Mittower VS..
Emauel Johnson, Halvor Larsen, w.
J. Kennedy, Samuel Crooks, Chas.
Foust, Mentrum & Briggs Co., A. w.
Wining, Harry N. Mittower and Geo.
Smith.
A portion of the land involved was
formerly owned by Indians and
among the witnesses in attendance at
the trial were Chief Charles of the
Flathead tribe, accompanied by his
interpreter, Joe Pierre, who came up
from the Jocko reservation Sunday;
Dutch Humphrey and Joe La
Moose. Twenty years ago Chief Char
los resided in the Bitter Root and he
left here under protest. The chief is
aging fast, his raven locks now being
streaked with grey, his form is bent
and his classic countenance is sadly
wrinkled.
On Monday evening venire of rs
trial jurors was drawn for the regular
June term of court and made return.
able Monday, June 1, at a. m.
William Samuel Robertson charged,
with murder in the first degree, was
arraigned before Judge Myers Mon.
day, but on advice of counsel refused
to plead. His attorney, r. Lee Nc
Culloch, had demanded a preliminary
hearing in justice court but County
Attorney Baker chose to file direct
information, thus dispensing with the
preliminary. Attorney McCulloch
will now attempt to secure continu-
ance, Judge Myers having set the trial
tor Monday, June 1.
This is the only criminal case on the
calendar at this time. A number OF
appeal cases and civil actions are
docketed but have not been set for
trial as yet.
