ACTION AGAINST BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Mat Poiich Takes an Appeal from Ac
ticn Of Board in Regard to Sa-
loon License.

Mat Polich, through his attorneys
Tyler & Moe, yesterday filed an ac-
ton in the District court against the
board of county commissioners of Mus
selshell county, in which the court is
asked to review the action of the
board in refusing the plaintiff a sa-
loon license at the keene Coal Camp.
The commissioners turned down the
petition for license upon remon-
STRANGE being filed in opposition. The
appeal is taken on the grounds that
the signers of the remonstrance are
not freeholders as required by law.
The cases of George Bachman VS..
the C. NJ. & P. S. Ry., and the First
National bank of Roundup VS.. the
Westchester Fire Insurance Co. were
this week transferred from the dis.
trict court of this district to the United
States district court.

TWO new TRAINS
TO BEPuTO May |
JURISDICTION OF PUGET SOUND
ROAD TO Be EXTENDED
TO ST. PAUL.

Beginning May / the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound railway will
operate two more passenger trains
daily between Seattle and Chicago, ac
cording to r. NJ. Calkins, traffic man
ager of the road, who returned to
Seattle last week from Chicago where
he conferred with officers of the St
Paul, the parent organization.
Extensive improvements in the
road are also planned" said Mr.. Cal
kns. 1.-THE line between st. Paul and
aberdeen, S. D., will be double tracked
to care for the additional traffic and
the jurisdiction of the Puget Sound
road will probably be extended from
Mobridge. S. d., to st. Paul, giving
the western operating officials control
over the entire line from the Pacific
coast to the Twin cities.

COMMITTEE

There are some who are not quite
clear as to the exact status of the
Borah three-year homestead bill in
Congress. For the benefit of those
The RecoNl will state that the bill has
passed both Senate and House. There
was some difference between the Sen.

Roundup's annual municipal election
developed INTO lively contest Mon
day, the supporters Of the various can
didates for office being much in evil
dence throughout the day from early
morning until the polls closed at 6
o'clock. The fight, in fact, was lit
tie more bitter than had been antici-
pated. H. E. Marshall, the independ-
ent candidate for mayor, was elected
over F. NJ Wall, the present mayor,
by eight votes. Charles Pennicott, the
Socialist candidate for chief executive
of the city, polled II votes.
The three-cornered fight for police
magistrate was not as close as had
been figured by the wise ones, T. R.
Cedersten winning out by plurality
of IS.
The great fight of the day, however,
developed in the Second ward between
Drazich and Schroeder, candidates for
alderman. That there would be hard
contest was made known Saturday
when Martin Rausch refused to allow

car beside the driver, jumped in time
to escape serious injury. Nels stayed

ORGANIZE BALL
TEAM FOR 1912
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF FANS
HELD IN PIONEER CLUB
ROOMS YESTERDAY.

A large crowd OF enthusiastic base
ball fans turned out to the meeting
held in the rooms of the Pioneer club
Tuesday evening, called for the pur-
pose OF getting the club lined out
properly for the coming season. Hav-
ing got taste of real classy ball last
year, the fans are starting out with q
determination of having a still better
team this season, and to show their
confidence in Manager Desmond J.
O'Neil, who SO successfully piloted the
! team last year, the fans unanimously
reelected him to the same position.
4 board of directors, consisting of ].
G. BOgue, II. !. Case and DIR. Pigot,
was also elected. II. p. Lambert was
chosen as treasurer.
Manager O'Neil gave Il report of the
financial condition of the club, which
showed that although there had been
a deficiency of about $3.50 at the end
of the season, the management now Is
practically even with the board. The
home talent play gotten up by num-
Der OF young people is to be given
credit for this. With the experience
gained last year the management will
be able to handle the business end of
the team with much more economy,
and as II will not be necessary TO pur-
chase new uniforms ana other para.
phanaia, the financial outlook is con.
sidered favorable for u crack team

ern Montana if she goes after 1t.
Following the meeting an informal
smoker was held The little German
band was called in and while sweet
strains of music floated through the
air and intermingled with the smoke
from numerous cigars, the battles of
1911 were fought over again.
1t had been planned to have an
Easter baseball dance Monday, but on
account of the fact that the Klein boys
