Express: Increased popularity
is weekly the portion of the motor
cycle in San Antonio. and many
kinds Of uses are continually be-
ing found for the handy little two
wheeled conveyances. The recent
trip made by b. l.. Shaw through
the sandy country from uvalde,
sometimes 200 miles from the rail
road opened the eyes of many peo-
pie ignorant of the possibilities of
the machines. and lecturers and
evangelists, going to out-of-the-

them extensively" That is the
story, with slight variations, every
where and it's significance is plain.

bu51 vtth N COURT
Justice Martin Deals Out Justice
in Four Cases, Three of Which
are Against Same Man.

This week has been one Of the
busiest for some little time in the
local justice court.
The work starts out in the nature
of criminal action entitled State
Of Montana VS.. James Lncas, charg-
ing the defendant with having OBJ
tanned goods under fraudulent re-
presentations. The law firm OF
Thompson d Tyler was retained and
appeared for the defendant, and
upon hearing succeeded in getting
a dismissal for their client.
This is followed by the State VS..
Tom Andrews. who was brought up
on the charge of absconding, hav-
ing obtained goods with ap-
parently no intention of paying for
same. He started on a iaunt for
Lavina Saturday. but Deputy Waldo
caught a freight and beat the man
to Lavina and was there to receive
him. He was brought back on the
evening passenger and given hear
ing before Justice Martin, Thompson
4 Tyler appearing for the defendant.
There was some lengthy argument
and reading Of law when the de-
fendant on the motion of his attorney
was dismissed.
The next in order is the case of
F. NJ. Wall Co. VS.. Tom Andrews
and arrest and bail proceeding in
which the defendant was placed
in Jail to bid the hearing.
Thomson d Tyler appeared for the
plaintiff and thru attachment suc-
ceeded in getting the account
satisfactorily fixed up.
No sooner had Andrews been re-
leased when he was rearrested
on a criminal charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, the
complaining witness being Tom
Fustis. 1t appears that Andrews
and Fustis came to Roundup from
Butte only about two weeks ago
to 60 into the restaurant business,
the latter, a Greek, having about
$4OO which he had saved during
the past two years while he was
working on the railroad west oi
of Butte. They rented the Polish
Bros. restaurant here, which they
conducted for a few days, Andrews
the meanwhile working his game ol
fleeing his partner to finish. On
the day he left town it is alledged
he drew $500 which belonged tc
Fustis. The defendant was re-
presented by Frank Smith of Lewis
town, and Thompson & Tyler. The
partnership agreement was estab
