UNUSUAL ACTION STARTED in
THE DISTRICT COURT.
FOR SUMMERS WORK
". A. jenkins Alleges That His Son
Made Transaction That Deprived
Him and His Family Of Wages for
Their Summers Work.

From Wednesdays Daily.
A most unusual suit was filed in the
district court yesterday when II. A.
Jenkins commenced action against his
son, M. N. jenkins to ecove wages
for himself and family for the sum
mer past and damages of $3.50.
In the complaint H. A. Jenkins cites
that he is the father of A. E., Levi,
George and Joseph Jenkins, the three
latter being minors, aged 20, II and Is
years, respectively. He alleges that
he was residing with his family, with
the exception Of the defendant in Colo
RADIO, when the defendant, persuaded
him to sell his property there and
come to Montana to live. Here he is
alleged to have represented that he
had bought a ranch known as the
Frank Summers ranch on Canyon
creek.
He promised the father that if he

so that the contract payments could
be met from the profits of the place,
he would be given proper recompense
and a contract for the father and his
family to work the place was signed
and is attached to the complaint.
The complaint further alleges that
the plaintiff and his family did move
on the land and did farm it, raising in
1908, 10 acres of sugar beets, 20
acres Of oats, many acres of alfalfa,
which cut 200 tons of hay, and other
products and declares that it was a
good crop. On August IS, the CON.
plant asserts, the defendant without
consulting his father or his brothers,
surrendered the contract to purchase
the ranch from Mr.. Summers and
turned over to him the entire crop,
leaving his father and brothers with
out recompense for their summers
work, wherefore, the father asks for
wages for himself and sons amounting
to 1915 and damages for $3.50. n. "A.

Appeals from the Judgment Rendered
by Judge w. r. c. Stewart, Sitting

Elom Wednesdays Daily.

Ilcm Wednesdays Daily.
Notice OF appeal to the state SUI
preme court in the contest case of
Nat G. Carwile against Lorin T. Jones
for the office of clerk of the district
court was filed yesterday with the
clerk of the court by Attorneys Harry
L. Wilson and Fred H. Hathhorn, rep
resenting Mr.. Jones.
A stipulation was also filed, signed
by Frank B. Connolly and James R.
Goss, that in event MIR. Jones should
fail to pay the costs incurred, they
would be responsible to the extent
Of $500, the amount usually stipulated.
| The attorneys for Mr.. Jones will now
have until December 81 to perfect
their appeal, but it is probable that it
will be completed long before the time
expires.
On the face of the returns at the
recent election, Lorin T. Jones, Repub-
|lican, was elected clerk of the district
court over Nat G. Carwile, Democrat,
by a majority of ten votes. Mr.. Car
vile alleged irregularities in the count
and brought contest proceedings, the
vote being recounted by Judge Stew
art of Bozeman, sitting at the request
of Judge Fox. Several ballots were
thrown out and the final recount gave
Mr.. Carwile a majority of two.
Just how long it will take to secure
a decision OF the appeal from the dis
trict court seems unknown. Considera-
bic speculation has arisen as to whom
the present clerk of the court F. H.
Foster, will turn over the office on
January 3 if the appeal is undecided
Some maintain that it should be
turned over to Mr.. Carwile, some to
Mr.. Jones, while others say that the
present clerk will hold until a final
decision, since he has been elected to
hold Office until his successor is elect
ed and qualities. Attorneys seem to
differ as to the course. that should be
followed under the law.

Thirtieth street to the Sweet block,

First avenue and Twenty-ninth street.
Their present quarters are entirely too

nent home, where they can better care
for needs Of those who come to them
for aid.
The new quarters will, however, be
vast Improvement on the old one

the young women hope to realize an
amount of money which will aid them
in purchasing a piano and other fur
niture and to assist in the expense of
moving.
A reception of a public nature will
be given by the members of the asso-
citation and it is hoped that they may

RICH MANS son WRITES MANY
DRAFTS.
YESTERDAY
Last Night He Was Formally Charged
with Obtaining Money under False
Pretenses-says His Father Will
Make His Shortages Good.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Robert F. Moore, son Of a promi-
nent cattleman and rancher of Doug
lass, Wyo., was arrested yesterday
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Moore cashed checks and sight
drafts for $500 here and at Sheridan,
Wyo. In this city A. L. Cook identi-
fed him at the bank and at Sheridan,
Charles Long, cattle inspector and
deputy sheriff aided young Moore in
getting the money. Both Of the gen
tlemen know Moore's father and sup
posed that the drafts and checks we're
regular.
Yesterday Chief Bert Talgo received
a message from Mr.. Long asking that
Moore be arrested and held pending
his, Longs, arrival from Sheridan.
At the time that Long left Sheridan
yesterday he could not connect with
the district attorneys office, SO he
came on here and had a complaint is.
sued by Assistant County Attorney
Taylor. The warrant was issued,
charging Moore with false pretenses
and Moore was locked up under that
charge.
From what can be learned of the
case, young Moore is a fast young
man, who has been out on a tour and
has been drawing on his father for the
expense money. His father, it is stated
by the officers, has refused to honor
the drafts and checks and the younger
Moore was consequently arrested.
Moore is said to have signed some
of the checks Robert Moore" and
some "Floyd Moore"
Last night he told the officers that
ne could get the money to make good
the $500 in checks, from his father
and he sent a message to his parents.
He further stated that he did not
know of his father ever refusing to
honor one Of his drafts.
Should Moore make good his drafts
and checks 1t is possible that the pres
ecution may be dropped. but of this
there seems to be some doubt.

On last Friday a number of the pu-
pills of the Wray high school with the
principal came over to Holyoke for
literary and athletic contest with the
pupils of our high school.
The literary contest was held at the
opera house and the program was as
follows:
Music, Holyoke Band; il vocation, Rev.
Spence; piano solo, Nina Slack; cornet
solo, Ernest Frink; recitation, Bessie
Troutman; piano solo, Norma liedrick;
recitation, Bessie Keller; vocal solo,
Louie Painter; debate, resolved that
the Philippines should be given their in
dependence: affirmative, Robert John
son and Edna McKibben, Holyoke, neg
alive, John Fike and Edna Bales, Wray.
The judges were Miss Moler of Ster-
ling, G. W. Gordon of HaXtun, and Mr..
Allen Il travelling man who was in oil
yoke on business.
The decision of the judges gave the
iolyoke school a clean sweep.
There was large attendance and
some were unable to get in even for
standing room.
The young people of both schools ac-
quilted themselves well and especially
was this true OF of the tolyoke pupils.
Bessie Troutman's recitation was eX-
ceptionally well rendered and Edna Nc
Kibben and Robert Johnson deserve
much credit for the manner in which
they handled their side of the debate.
Saturday was very d,sagreeable
day for field sports as the wind was
blowing pretty strong gale but the
program was carried out regardless of
the wind. Arrangements had been
made for match game of basket ball
between Wray's young lady team and a
team from the high school of Sterling.
The Wray girls had won the first half
of the game and the teams had started
to play the second half when Prof.
Striekler of v ray who had refereed
the first half Of game took exceptions
to some actions Of the Sterling team
and walking mp TO one of them took
the bail ont of her hand and declared
the game or which according to the
rules of the game forfeited the game
for his team.
The base ball game between Wray
and liulyoke resulted in score ofl6 to
in favor Of Wray. The liolyoke boys
were much younger and lighter in
WEIGHT than the Wray boys and oi
course played at great disadvantage
on this account,
Seven tennis games were played five
OF which were wor by llolyoke players.
saturday evening a reception was
given the .Wray pupils at the opera
house. A program Of music, speeches
and recita'ions was given and general
good social time was enjoyed.
