CHEADLE FILES PETITION
Popular Fergus County Jurist DUAL
ifies for Supreme
Court.

Helena, Oct. with about 5000
signatures, the petition of Judge T..
X. Cheadle of Lewistown as candi-
date for chief justice of the supreme
court has been filed with A. N.
Yoder, secretary of state. The petit
tion is in conformity with the new
law requiring that judicial candidates
file applications to have their names
placed on the official ballot. In this
instance the law requires that 1,5OO
signatures be attached. Thus Judge
Cheadle has about twice the requisite
number.
Signers to the petition are residents
of every county in the Treasure State
and embrace every profession and trade
from attorneys and court officials to
ordinary laborers. Naturally the
greater number of signers are resi-.
dents of central Montana, where he
resides, the movement having been
fathered by close personal friends
as tribute to the jurist who is held
in such high esteem.

BAD MAN VERY
BADLY WOUNDED
James Gibson, Wanted in Billings
for Horse Stealing, is Winged by
Deputy AL Morgan.

LewistoWn Democrat: James Glib
son, wanted in both Yellowstone and
Fergus counties for horse stealing,
and one of the most desperate GRIM
inals that ever infested the North
west, is lying on cot at the county
Jail, nursing badly wounded arm, as
q result of sensational shooting
match between trio of horse thieves
and Deputy Sheriff Al Morgon, 7
miles northeast of Grass Range, last
Saturday afternoon. At distance Of
fully $50 yards, Morgan put a soft
nose bullet from 30-30 through Glib
sons right arm, placing that gentle
man hors de combat and making his
capture an easy matter.
Sheriff Martin had received word
that three men had stolen some saddle
horses from a Billings livery stable
and were thought to be headed In this
direction. Securing an auto, Morgan
left Saturday morning for the Grass
Range country. In the afternoon,
three men were seen riding toward
the auto. When they sighted the ma
chine, they turned off into a coulee.
Feeling sure that they were the men
he was looking FOR, Morgan got out
of the machine and started after the
men afoot. He commenced to shoot
when he got an opportunity, and the
fifth shot toppled one of them, Glib
son, from his horse. The other two
took Gibson's horse and escaped to-
ward the north.

WANTS TO
RAISE MONEY
To Help Him Regain His Freedom
Appeals to the Editor Of
The News

Deer Lodge, MOnt., Sept. 70, III.
Editor The Harlowton News,
Harlowton, Montana,
Dear Sir
Knowing that there is paper pub
lished in Harlowton, l write to yoa
in hopes that you will do me favor
if it lies within your power.
Am serving three years sentence
here and believe if l could procure
council, and appeal my case, could
get out. And God knows mans
freedom is dear to him. The only
way that / can do this is by making
hair brides, ETC., and selling the
same. AS | have no relatives or
people whom know in this country,
have to write to any one in hopes
they will be kind enough to sell or
rattle off a bride for me.
Perhaps you may have seen some
brides from here. They are riding
brides made from hair of assorted
colors and have different designs
worked through them. No one but
person here could spare the time it
takes to make one, and ares really an
artistic thing when made sin first
class shape If. you will undertake
to dispose of one for me, will send you
one Of the best that can be made.
OF course, know l have no right to
expect you to discommode yourself
for me to any great extent, but it
should not be very much trouble to
dispose of one of the brides for me,
for simply have to appeal to some one
to help me as have no relatives to
do this for me.
1. you will do this for one who can
not help himself, you will have his
gratitude you may be sure, though
you may not value the gratitude of a
convict very highly.
The material in these brides cost
from five to seven dollars and the
work on them requires from two to
three weeks of pretty steady work, SO
you may know they are saleable or had
ought to be.
Will you write me at any rate and
let me know whether or not you can
do this favor. l do not know your
name, so addressed the letter to the
editor of The Harlowton News.
Hoping to hear from you soon, 1
am,
Yours truly,
Robt. Kelley.

NURSE IS FINED
FOR BICAMY
Mrs, Lillian buckstein is Given Ten
Days In Penitentiary and
Fine Of $500.

Lewistown, Oct. 5.-As a sequel to
her dramatic arrest at the instance of
vengeful first husband. Mrs. Lillian
Backstein will probably be sentenced
Monday to serve 10 days in the state
penitentiary and pay fine of $500 for
bigamy. She came before the court
here yesterday and pleaded guilty,
throwing herself on the mercy Of the
court.
Bockstein has left for the East.
The arrest of Mrs. Backstein At
Butte some six weeks ago, Immediately
followed her marriage To H. P. Lam
bert, business man Of Roundup. on
charge OF bigamy, created stir,
and from that time on until tie case
was finally disposed of her husband.
Harry Backstein, the complainant,
did the stirring.
Mrs. Backstein was arrested at the
Thornton hotel. She made no admis-
sion and Mr.. Lambert at first believed
the whole thing joke perpetrated
by foolish friends.
But Backstein was determined to
have the woman arrested, although 1t
now appears that he could easily have
prevented the marriage to the Round
up cashier, as he reached that place
the day before the wedding and was
fully advised regarding it, but kept
his presence there a secret until the
knot was tied.
Following the arrest, he fatty de-
clined to have anything more to do
with the matter, which left the state
very much in the air. When pros
poets for contempt proceedings LOOM
ed up, Backstein again changed front
and agreed to testify, but little
later declined to say what he would
testify.
Shortly before the time set for the
trial, Mrs. Backstein tried to kill her
self in the county jail. taking corros-
i've sublimate. A physician saved her
life and the case came to trial. After
hearing Blackstein's testimony
as to her marriage to him In New
York city . few years ago and Father
Mueller's testimony as to the Round
up marriage, the defendent threw
herself on the mercy of the court.
The woman, whose mistake was
in not getting divorce from him, Is
trained nurse and was employed at
the Roundup hospital. Public SYM
pathy, which at first was all with
Backstein, Is now all with the woman.
