PETITIONS.
TERRITORY WITHDRAWN
Assurance Given Last Night That First
Petition, Withdrawing Thirteen
Townships, Had Required Number
OF Signatures-TWo Other Petitions
Being Circulated.

Assistant County Attorney Stewart
McConochie recently wrote the attor.
ney general for an opinion as to the
requirements with respect to the boun.
darles OF territory proposed to be petit
toned out from proposed new
county and continued as part of an
old county. This, of course. had ref.
erence to the movement now on foot
to petition out a considerable part of
the proposed new county of Judith,
There is nothing in the statutes of
Montana as to the shape of such ter
ritory proposed to be petitioned out
further than that it shall be compact
in form and that the petition must be
signed by at least fifty per cent of the
voters in such section.
The first of these petitions now be-
ing circulated is to take out about thir-
teen townships, comprising the south
ern part of the proposed county of
Judith. 1t includes the towns of
Wlndham, Utica, Buffalo and Mendon.
This petition, it is stated, already has
the required number of signatures.
and according to those who have the
matter in hand, the territory included
in this petition fully conforms to the
requirements as set out in the opinion
OF the attorney general.
A second petition includes two
townships in territory that Moccasin
Is situated in, while third petition
takes two more townships in the north
end OF the proposed Judith county.
AS to whether or not this latter peti-
ton will meet the requirements as
laid down in the attorney generals
opinion is not definitely known here
but regardless of this, Mr.. McConochie
says that evidently there will not be
enough left of Judith county to enable
any contest to be made as to the uues
tion of boundaries.
Others connected with the opposi-
ton to division and who have had
these petitions in charge, telephoned
IN yesterday afternoon, stating that
