TO elect some one to succeed him,
three candidates being nominated,
J. W. Newton. Aug. Schrump and
J. II. Grant. On the third ballot
J w. Newton was elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation,
and he will serve the unexpired
term OF the former mayor.
Mr.. Newton, the new mayor, is
an old timer Of this section, and is
heavily interested in Roundup. He
was the first mayor of Roundup
having been elected in the first
election held in 1909 after the city's
incorporation. As J. w. Newton has
been city treasurer under the pre-
sent administration, this office be-
comes vacant by his appointment
as mayor The council will pro-
badly appoint treasurer at the

SEWERAGE
CONSIDERED
City Council Figuring on Putting in
System Of Sewerage
This Year.

G. T. Sacket, civil engineer Of
Livingston, met with the city coun-
Gil yesterday for the purpose of
considering the installation of a
system Of sewers in the city Of
Roundup, matter which has at
various times occupied the atten-
tion Of the council. The matter
was gone into in a general way and
it's practibility noted by the visit
ing engineer. No estimates on the
cost Of the sewer were given, as
the state board Of health will have
to be consulted as to what plan to
pursue in regard to filterage, Mr..
Sacket left this morning for Helena
where he will submit a report to
the board Of health and will return
to Roundup in week or ten days
with complete plans and figures,
1t is the intention of the council
to call special election to bond
the city to make possible this mum
icipal improvement, which with the
rapid growth Of the city is becom-
ing more and more a matter Of
great necessity.
Arthur Wilkinson, of Melstone,
was business visitor in the city

SHORTAGE
EXPLAINED
Fines Amounting to $llO in Jude
Thompson's Court Not Collect
d--Cases in Abeyance.

The report Of Alderman Murray
IN the council proceedings publish
ed elsewhere in this issue in regard
to the shortage of $11O in the ac-
count of Carl N. Thompson during
his term as police Judge, is mis-
leading to say the least, and places
the former Judge, in wrong light.
The report submitted to the coun-
Gill was incomplete and therefore
not Just to Mr.. Thompson.
The shortage is accounted for by
the fact that one case in which a
fine Of 500 was supposed to have
to have been imposed was never
heard before Carl Thompson, the
case having been started in the
early history of Roundup when
Fred Martin was police Judge. The
case was never even docketed, and
SO far rs The Record has been able
to learn. never came to trial. How
the fine was imposed without trial
is mystery. The case in question
was that OF the city Us. August
Schrump for putting up frame
building within the fire limits with
out permit
The other $40 was fine imposed
upon Max Schlee who had the case
appealed. At this time Mr.. Thomp.
son resigned his Judgeship, and the
docket was turned over to the new
official.

(0UhT1 Dill INTRODUCED m 5[NAT[
Senator Edwards of Rosebud County
Fathers Musselshell County
Bill in Senate.

That the Nusselshell county
boosters are pushing matters with
all possible speed and positive ac-
tion is evidenced by the fact that
the bill creating the new county was
one of the first ones to be introduced
in the legislature which is now in
session at Helena. The bill was
presented by Senator +. Edwards,
of Rosebud county, who fathered
the bill two years ago and worked
harder for its passage than any other
member at that time. 1t was in
troduced Wednesday without giving
previous notice as is usually the
custom in presenting bills. After
its introduction the bill was referred
to the committee on towns and
counties. The senate committees
have not yet been named, so it is
hard to conjecture at this time how
the bill will fare there.
Word received by The Record
from Helena this morning is to the
effect that everything is fooking very
favorable. Members of the legis-
lature who have been approached
on the proposition have in every in
stance stated that they realized the
necessity Of the organization of the
new county, and all feel that the
measure will be given favorable
consideration.
In connection with the columns
of publicity given the Mnsselshell
county bill, the state Librarian at
Helena has dug up an interesting
document regarding the creation ol
Musselshell county in 1866 by the
Territorial legislature. The project
had to be abandoned, however. for
the reason that the governor
Thomas Francis Meaghcr, who was
given the power to appoint the
necessary county officers, could not
find eligibles enough to fill offices.

ferred for final adjustment to the

Company, was present at the meet
ing.
There was some dissatisfaction
among the miners because the

We're not allowed to return to work,

controversy which will have to be

M orial Day Sermon.

In preaching pre- Memorial day SER
mon, Sunday, May %, to Erastus Buck
Post, e. A. r., and W. r. c., Rev,
Thomas Hall of the Congregational
church took for his text words from
First Timothy, Chapter 6, 18th verse :
Eight the good fight of faith, lay hold
on eternal life. Beginning his talk,
Mr., Hall paid tribute to the honor
and bravery of the men who engaged in
our Civil War and complimented the
remaining number on their robust APP
pearance after so many years of hard
ship aud struggle. Turning to his text
he said "But you are doubtless tired
of hearing about fighting at this time"
and continued to take up the second
clause in the verse, clay hold on eter-
nal life. He spoke Of this as the one
essential thing for everyone to do, say
ing that he believed most of his hearers
had done so. He said this might seem
hard at first but that one had only to
wish sincerely for it and show simple
faith in the power of God and then each
day Que would grow stronger and more
secure in the hope of the life to come.
He spoke of the present as being the
time to "lay fold on eternal life" and
cited as an incident the case Of young
girl, who, although under strong con-
viction, finally accepted bride of five
dollars from her brother to give up her
position, of how the brother on his
death bed became converted, of how he
then plead with his sister to give her
heart to God, of how she coldly refused
to listen to his pleadings and at last
died having the same indifference to
eternal life as she had carried out dur
ing her youth. Rev. Mr.. Halls words
were simple and sincere and made an
impression on his congregation to which
this brief sketch does not do justice.
