CAMPAIGN ON
Roundup Will Make Fight for Coun.
ty Seat Honors Of Musselshell
County.

Although the campaign for county
division to create the new county Of
Musselshell has been in progress for
about year, not until next week,
when two important meetings Of the
County Division club and the Round
up Commercial club are to be held,
will the real course to be pursued in
the coming fight before the state leg
islature be outlined. With the elec-
tion of two representatives from this
county, Joe Asbridge and Dan Slay-
ton, both of whom have been closely
identified with the county division
movement since the, organization OF
the County Division club last winter,
the outlook for the creation OF the
new county is looking exceptionally
bright, and the divisionists are now
determined TO leave no stone un.
turned in attaining the coveted prize.

VIOLATED WINE
ROOM LAW
Nellie Nuckelby Of Judith Gap Gets
500 and Cost for FIRE.
quenting Saloon.

Nellie Nuckelby, who until Wednes-
day was the proprietor Of the Com
mercial Bar, was arrested Tuesday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Deyar-
mon on the charge Of freQuenting
the saloon building, and thereby
breaking the Wine Room law Of the
state. At the trial the following
afternoon the testimony given showed
concusively that Mrs. Nuckelby had
made practice of visiting the saloon
and the defendant affirmed that por-
tion of the testimony by stating that
she had frequently entered the sa-
loon to attend to her business mat
ters, such as checking up invoices,
and supplying the lunch counter with
eatables. The jury found her guilty
of the charge of violating the Wine
Room law, and Judge J. r. Balm i'm
posed fine of 500 and costs, or costs
and short time in which to leave
1t seems that Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Deyamon stepped into the Com
mercial Bar and found the Nuckelby
woman in the room. He Immediately
placed her under arrest, as he had
cautioned her several times not to
visit the place. The complaint was
made to read that Nellie Nuckelby
had on the 7th of November violated
the law on which charge she was
tried. The testimony during the
trial was contradictory, except for
the fact that she frequented the sa-
loon, and at times was very amusing
to those in the court room.
Attorney VIM. G.. Husband admir-
ably represented the state, and won
many friends by the manner in which
he conducted the prosecution. At
torney Glen S. Bills made strong
fight and had the case well in hand
until his client appeared on the stand.
The jury was composed OF the fol-
lowing gentlemen: J. E. Soden, Matt
Bergen, Harry Van Lane, Frank
Brennan, c. c. Slayton and Otto
Thompson.-Judith Gap Journal.

DANE DEFEATED
Is Knocked Down Five Times in the
Eleventh, Finally Taking the
Full Count.

Another fighter has failed to come
back. Battling Nelson, the "hardest
nut in the world to crack" has again
been cracked, this time by Owen
Moran, the doughty Britisher. A
smashing right to the jaw in the
eleventh round did the business.
Nelson went down, his face a mass of
blood. At the count of eight he
struggled to his feet, only to be beaten
down again and again. The fifth
time he failed to rise from his hands
and knees at the count Of ten, and
Referee Selig raised Moran's glove in
token Of victory.
The battler, dazed by the battering
blows, rose to his feet second 100
late and feebly protested. But Selig's
decision was final and eminently fair.
According to a statement made by
Selig Immediately after the fight
Nelson was counted out and could not
have gotten to his feet and continued
The fight under any conditions.
"With any other fighter I would
have stopped it before the final knock
down." said Selig, but Nelson's re-
markable recuperative powers decided
me against such course. When l
counted Nelson out 1 yelled in his ear
and he was trying all the time TO
force himself to his feet, but did not
have the strength.
Moran had the better of the fighting
all the way. The Battler had lost his
old strength and Moran was much
the ceverer boxer. Neither man
was in serious danger at any stage up
to the eleventh round. The end came
as quick as flash. Moran's right
shot over and Nelson went down like
a log.
Nelson declared that he had been
counted out prematurely. He said:
"It lacked but three seconds for the
round to end and l believe that /
would have been as fresh as ever in
the next round. However, Moran
deserves all the credit. He is great
little fighter and will be able to hold
his own against any of them"

New Bounty Law.

Twodot, Nov. 30.-In an interview
today Senator G. P. Tooley announced
that he is working on bill which he
will Introduce at the next meeting
OF the legislature. The purpose OF
the bill is to remedy the defect in the
fund which is used in paying bounty
on wolves. At the present time the
fund is inadequate, and there are
many outstanding warrants for which
there is no money to make payment.
This bill, II passed, will go long
way toward eliminating the wolf
question in Montana. 1t will also
act as protection for wild game
such as deer and antelope.

LARGE REVENUE
1ontana's School and Road Funds
Largest Sharers in Annual Appof-
tionment Of Timber Money.

Montana's share of the twenty-five
per cent Of the national forest revenue
derived by the states from the forests
within the borders for the fiscal year
ending June 30, last, will amount to
ss3, ,e7s.3s.
This is the largest amount any sim
gle state will be paid.
The total amount to be divided
among the different states, according
to statement of the department of
agriculture just issued, is S506, 1914. 81.
This is s67, 492.0 more than last year,
or an increase of little over fifteen
per cent.
The money will go into the road
and school funds Of the states bene-
fitted, which is one of the provisions
Of the law creating national forests,
and the payments are intended as an
offset to the loss of income from tax
able property sustained through the
withdrawal of forest land from entry
under the public land laws.
The amounts that will go to the
different states are as follows:
Montana, ss3, 3,e7s.3s; Arizona, $751;
220. 3S; Arkansas, s2904.44; California,
$50, 1852 81; Colorado, CSC, 1906 10; Florida,
s7oe.3s; Idaho, $66,O74.55; Kansas, sl,-
O04 81; Minnesota, s457.37; Nebraska,
s2,820.25; Nevada. 3l6, 314,33; New
Mexico, 1928, 529.53; North Dakota,
s63.64; Oklohoma, s526.1o; Oregon,
$39, ,635.87; South Dakota, $9,SO8.93;
Utah, s32,905.49; Washington, $685.
671.99; Wyoming, s34, 7O4.54.
In certain of the states coming un-
der the operations OF the law the in
crease over amounts paid last year is
considerable. In California it is said
it is twenty-five per cent, in Idaho,
thirty-ave and in Oregon nearly fifty
per cent. The increases are the re-
suit Of greater activity in national
forest timber sales in those states,
and may be accepted as an earnest of
what will happen as the timber sup
ply the government is caring for
comes into full demand.
Since the timber cut will always be
limited to what the forests will keep
on growing, the income to the states
will be permanent. This would not
be the case had hasty and improvi-
dent exploitation been permitted.
Eventually the states will receive
many times over what the forests are
yielding them now, according to the
calculations Of the department Of ag-
riculture, for there Is as yet on the
whole only very restricted demand
for the governments timber.

A Tale of a Tea Table.
BY Ellen Manly.

Betsy Bobbity baked bun
A beautiful big, bewitching one,
So light that it fairly shone with pride.
With currants a-plenty safe inside.
Patsy Poppity peeled a peach,
A pear, and plum, and put them each
In tiny pie with frosted top,
AS fine those in the baker shop.
Dora Doppity cried, Dear me!
What capital time to give a tea!'
And she put the little red table OUT
With three little chairs set round about
And Betsy Bobbity's Baby Blue,
And Patsy Poppity's Precious Prue,
And Dora Doppity's Daisy Dee,
Were asked to come to a charming tea.
Three little maids to the pantry flew
To look for the dishes pink and blue,
And terrible tragedy happened next
And my but the three little maids were vexed.
Young Puppety Pup came racing by,
And the little red table caught his eye:
Then never bit he cared-not he
That he hadn't been asked to the dainty tea;
But he ate up Betsy Bobbity's bun,
With all of the currants-every one,
The three little pies at a single bite
And everything else there was in sight!
But never word the three guests said,
AS they gazed with smile right straight ahead:
And never they showed the least surprise,
Although right under their very eyes,
The rude and ravenous Puppety P
Ate all that they were to have had for tea
Which shows us plainly that Baby Blue.
And Daisy Dee, and the Precious Prue,

That the proper ladylike thing to do
Was never to make remarks at tea

SLEEPY-TIME SONG.

When sleepy winds sing low, sing low,
And stir the shadows on the. lawn,

The silver moon is hung on high
To light the sleepy sun to bed
Lay down, like him, your golden head.
Well sing your lullaby,

The sleepy winds sing low, sing low
They're calling gentle dreams to you:
Tn fairy-helds where poppies blow
The dreams they bring you blew.
The pink is fading from the sky,
The stars are peeping one by one:
So sink to sleep, my little son:
Wen sing your lullaby,
