SEEKS 70 SECURE CLERK Of
COURT POSITION FROM JONES.
CLAIMS l%RREGULARlTIES
Alleges That There, Were Mistakes in
the Returns and That Judges Did
Not Count all the Votes Cast for
Him at Recent Election.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Nat G. Carwile commenced contest
proceedings in the district court yes
Afternoon against Lorin T. Jones
for the Office Of clerk Of the district
court, to which position Mr.. Jones
was chosen at the recent election, ac-
cording to the OFFICIAL returns.
Mr.. Carwile was the Democratic can
didate for the Office and on the face
Of the returns he was defeated by Mr..
Jones, the Republican candidate by q
majority Of 10. Irregularities on the
part Of the judges and in the count are
alleged by Mr.. Carwile. Notice Of the
contest was sent to Judge Fox, but
as he opens court in Forsyth today
and has a jury called for Red Lodge
for November 26, 1t is hard to tell just
when the contest will be taken up.
The complaint after reciting the
facts regarding the candidacy Of both
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Carwile and the
tact that Mr.. Jones received 1884
votes to 1874 for Mr.. Carwile, emu
merates the votes in precincts Q, 8, q,
II, 10 and IA. 1t then goes on to say
hat in precinct 8, the plaintiff has
cause to believe that the vote was III
for Jones and 1928 for Carwile, a gain
Of n for the latter and a loss OF one
TOR Jones; that in precinct Is the vote
1863 for Jones to 374 for Carwile,
when the returns were 1854 for Jones
and 372 for Carwile; and in precinct
IA the vote should have been 219 for
Jones and 1913 for Carwile, when the
returns showed 223 for Jones and 1874
tor Carwile. y
The report also alleges that in pre-
cinct 2 and precinct Z the plaintiff was
not given all the votes cast for him by
the judges, while in precinct IL, the
complaint alleges, six of the voters
had not been residents Of Montana for
one year prior to the election. In the
complaint Mr.. Carwile figures that he
would have a majority Of at least 8.
MI. Carwile petitions that a special
session of court be held within not less
shan ten days or more than twenty
lays from the filing Of the contest for
he purpose of considering it. w. M.
Johnston is attorney for Mr.. Carwile.

STEAL WORTHLESS POUCH FROM
DEPOT TRUCK.
Law IS VERY SEVERE
First Class Mail Was Locked in De-
pot-Bunslers Take Desperate
Chance to get Pouch Filled with Pa
pers-offtcers are Working on Case.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Some desperate, foolhardy man or
men took a desperate chance ON going
to the penitentiary for a term Of not
less than five years at the depot in
Billings on Sunday night. When train
No. 8 arrived and the mail was un-
loaded, the first class mail was taken
into the depot on a truck and the pa
per sacks, commonly known as "tie-
sacks were left on a truck, to be
transferred to train No. A. The
thieves took a sack OF papers from the
truck and carried 1t to the warehouse
Of Lindsey & Co, cross the track,
and ripped 1t open.
They searched the sack and left 1t
lying on the platform Of the ware
house. where it was round Monday
afternoon by the police.
\ The police informed the postoffice
authorities and the sack was taken to
the postoffice and the contents placed
In another sack and, sent on Monday
night.
The police at first thought that they
might apprehend the guilty parties,
and rs there is a reward for such
thefts Of $1,000, considerable secrecy
was exercised in keeping the matter
rs quiet as possible, but yesterday the
news OF the robbery was made public.
The only matter Of any worth car.
ried in the tie sacks is merchandise,
and it is not known whether any arti-
cles of value were obtained, but it is
more than probable that the robbers
got nothing.
