the proceedings because of more lively
scenes in the house.

by the distribution OF copies OF a To-
cal newspaper which featured a mass
meeting at which Representatives
Littieton and Young were attacked by
Henry B. Martin OF the s0-called
Anti trust league. A copy was laid
on the desk OF each member OF the
house.
Instantly Littleton Indignantly
rushed to the speakers Office and de-
manded TO know by what right these
copies had been allowed distribution
In the house chamber. The copies
were Immediately ordered gathered up
and removed from the house.

battle over the county division
among themselves and at a hear

of the proposed counties and all
are disputing the right to the

was confined principally to testl
mony of the county officers rela
tive to the petitions, names of pc

the oldest fans dance with JOY.
Gervetti and Moe, the Harlowton

striking out fourteen men during
the game. The base running OF

A WORD To The
WISE
Merino Co. Appears to be
About the Right Solution
Don't You Think so?

AS a result of the recent bond
election there is some talk OF a
contest. Disappointed over the
outcome of the election some OF
the promoters of the proposition are
loud in condemnation of the voters
in the eastern end of the county.
Especially some of the county offl-
GERS seem to forget that they were
elected by the vote of the whole
of Meagher county, that they are
the servants of the people instead
of loyal acquiesence in the will OF
the majority. that they have en-
listed with those whose vision Is
bounded by the limits of their
own local community. From all
tangible sources it is apparent that
the progress and development made
in eastern Meagher county in the
past three years, is much greater
than that made in the west end,
hence the jealousy manifested by
our brethren across the Belts. The
time is now at hand when Meagh
er county will be divided. The
facilities for reaching White Sulph
ur Springs are intolerable. There
is little doubt that as soon as tn
assessors returns are made up petl
tions will be presented to th'
commissioners of Meagher count,
for a special election for the cres
ton of new county. we predlc
that by January Ist, 1912, the o.
ganization of Mcrino county WI
have been completed.
