FIGHT FOR A JOB.
Three Applicants for Position of Sec
retary State Livestock Board.

Helena, April 2--The bitterest
fight in the history of the Montana
state board OF livestock commission
ers is being waged tonight against
the reelection of Secretary D. w.
Raymond Of the board. The new
board, appointed two weeks ago by
Governor Norris. will meet tomorrow
morning to perfect organization
There are three candidates for the sec
retaryship, which pays $500 per year.
They are Mr.. Raymond, Nathan Cod
frey, OF Helena, and 7. A. Cummings,
of Fort Benton. Raymond was
chosen secretary almost year ago,
following the death OF w. G. Pruett,
and the fight against him is largely
based on the grounds of alleged in
competency, in that he did not dis
cover the populations OF the chief
clerk in the office, whose embezzle-
ments continued for period of over
six months under Raymond's admin
istration Secretary Raymond's faith
| er was one of the FIVE members Of the
old board reappointed this year. 1t is
likely that the scandal in which the
| old board was involved will be con-
siderably aired at tomorrow's meet
| ing.

Buys Main Street Drug Store.

J. A. Kelly, of Forsyth, and E. A.
Hanser, of Butte, last week purchased
the upper Main street drug store of
C. H. Williams. paying a handsome
price for the stock and good will.
Both gentlemen are experienced drug
men and it didn't take them long to
make a deal after they had looked
about the city and figured somewhat
upon the possibilities Of Lewistown
becoming the metropolis of central
and eastern Montana They intend
to make extensive improvements in
the interior Of the store recently pur-
chased and both will establish their
residences here. although they retain
large business interests in the eastern
end of the state. Mr.. Williams will
devote his entire attention to his drug
store in the lower end of the city

RUSH Continues At
THE Land OFFICE
FOUR HUNDRED ENTRIES ARE
MADE DURING MONTH
OF MARCH.

Register McKoin and Receiver
Hedges continue to do about the
biggest real estate business in this
part Of Montana. Last month they
turned better than sixty thousand
acres Of land the deals involving the
government of the United States as
the party Of the first part and some
four hundred land-hungry citizens
from all parts of the Union as parties
of the second part.
During the month, there were en-
tries made as follows: Homestead,
257; enlarged homesteads, 25; desert
79; public sales, 81. This hardly
reaches the figures Of a year ago IN
March, but the business IS very large
considering the growing scarcity ol
good land any ways near line oi
railroad. The greater number of the
entries we're made for lands III the
eastern part OF Fergus county With
the completion Of the Milwaukee, and
Geat Northern railroads through that
section, many of these homesteads
will become worth thousands of dol
lars each.
Two Questions Decided.
The land office officials received q
letter last week, which will answer
many inquiries recently made at the
local office. The letter is as follows
Washington, D. C., March 28, 1911
Register and Receiver,
Lewistown, Montana.

ter of March Is. 1911, | have to ad
wise you that the position taken by

EXCITING SCENES in
JUDGE FOLEY'S COURT
TWO CASES OF SENSATIONAL
INTEREST DURING THE
PAST WEEK.

Justice B. H. Foley presided over
two rather stormy court trials last
week and some Of the participants
narrowly escaped stiff sentences for
contempt.
The first case was that of State vs..
John Ducks, well-known resident OF
the southern end of the county, who
was being given a preliminary hear
ing Wednesday afternoon on charge
of assault, preferred by his wife, who
alleges that Ducks threatened to kill
her.
The quarrel was the outcome OF
proceedings for divorce instituted
by Mrs. Ducks. After the testimony
OF the plaintiff, Mrs. Ducks, had been
taken, the defendant went on the
stand and, during the course Of his
examination, stated very plainly that
his wife had been unfaithful to him
This charge wrought the woman up
to a pitch Of frenzy and she advanced
toward her husband in menacing
manner, but upon being gently re-
strained, broke down and sobbed bit
terly. The proceedings were suspend
ed until the woman had partially re-
gained her composure. Judge Foley
placed the defendant under a thou
sand dollar peace bond.
| Another Near Riot.
Another exciting scene happened te
disturb the serenity of the usually
placid court Of Judge Foley Friday
evening, while the case of Belden vs.
Hamilton was in progress. Belde1
was suing to recover 500 alleged tc
be a balance due him for services per
formed while working on Hamilton:
ranch. The defendant brought i'll
counter claim and during the taking
of testimony. the two parties to thu
action passed back and forth lev
verbal brickbats and some OF the wit
nesses became quite boisterous before
the court threatened to send them t
| jail for contempt unless they desisted
| Ayers & Marshall appeared for Ham
ilton, while Attorney Buntin repre-
sented Belden. Judgment was de
ferred pending the filing OF wrttel
arguments by counsel.

Of the carly settlers in Fergus coun-
ty. having owned ranch on Casino

After years of striving, the socialist
party finally landed a man in Lewis
town at the annual city election yes
terday. Joseph Heaney, candidate
for alderman in the Second ward, was
elected with majority of three votes.
The entire socialist ticket polled a
much heavier vote than was expected,
Jamme for mayor receiving l32 to
Marshall's $40.
Heaney must be given full credit
for his great run in the Second as he
was pitted against John Ford, ad-
mitted to be the strongest and most
popular candidate that the citizens
convention could have selected from
that section Of the city. Mr.. Ford
took the nomination under protest
and made no especial effort to win
the election, while. on the other hand
the socialists worked hard throughout
the campaign and centered their fight
on the candidate in the Second. They
polled less than twenty-five votes in
each of the other wards Of the city
