number of brief addresses We're made
Judge Roy e. Ayers was the toast

rule OF having something happen
every minute was lived up to. In ad-
dition to the talks, two high-class
vaudeville acts from the Bijou theater
enlivened the program.
In the course Of the evening George
J. Wiedeman, former exalted ruler;
David Hilger, former district deputy,
and Mayor w. d. Symmes each OF
fered to take care Of bonds for the
proposed Elks' home to the extent of

unqualified success.

.BARNES-KING WINS
IMPORTANT ACTION
LARGE SUM THAT HAS BEEN
TIED UP TO GO TO
COMPANY.

Great Falls, May 1G.-Good news for
the stockholders in the Barnes King
Development company, of which there
are several in Great Falls, was re.
ceived in this city yesterday by C.
w. Goodale, managing director of that
company, in a telegram from Attor-
ney A. j. Shores, of New York, telling
of decision of the United States
circuit court of appeals which will re-
lease to the uses of the company $75,-
900 in money which has been tied up
for long time under an action filed
in the federal court by an assignee,
Arthur r. Heinze, and which money
will permit of the financing of de-
velopment work desired to be taken
up by the company.
When the Barnes-King company
was organized in 1906 to take over the
Barnes-King properties near Kendall
Heinze purchased through a broker
$4,000 worth of stock in the CON-
pany and when the company failed
to prove the big dividend producer
1t was expected to be Heinze sued the
company in the federal court upon the
grounds that he had been induced to
invest through fraudulent representa-
tions. He obtained a Judgment of
$4,000, which award was made by a
jury in United States court. under
Judge Hunt.
An appeal was taken to the United
States circuit court of appeals, the
defendant company contending that
as Heinze had made his stock pur-
chase through brokers the company
was not responsible for any repre-
sentations made. Apparently the
court of appeals has taken the same
view of the matter as alleged by the
defense as the telegram from Mr..
Shores states court reverses judg-
ment in Barnes-King case in an
opinion which think disposes of the
case on it's merits"
Managing Director Goodale is of
the opinion that this decision of the
court of appeals will release to the
company the $4,000 which has long
been tied up in this litigation and
which will now be available to finance
operations at both the Barnes-King
mine, which is located three miles
from Moccasin, and at the Piegan-
Gloster property near Marysville.

highly respected and upright man.
over year ago he went to Califor-
MIA and spent the winter at Long
Beach, returning improved in health,
but the infirmities of old age could
not be overcome and his health had
been precarious all through the past
winter. Mr. Beck was IS years of age
on Jan. 19 last, having exceeded the
allotted span of life by close to ten
years. He was twice married, his first
wife having died many years ago. He
is survived by the second wife, two
sons, A. w. Beck and ]. w. Beck,
both well-known residents of this city;
one daughter, Mrs. Josie Brown, of
Springfield, and two sisters, one a

Mrs. Beck, the widow, on behalf of
the family, feels grateful to the many
friends who so generously gave their
aid and sympathy and especially to
the Odd Fellows.

WILL HOLD THE NEXT
CONVENTION HERE.
MEDICAL MEN WILL COME TO
LEWIsTOWN IN JULY
NEXT.

Drs. G. G. Wallin and A. w. Deal, of
this city, returned home last week
from Great Falls, where they attend
ed the meetings of the State Medical
Society and of the association of
county health officers of the state.
Both read papers at the meetings and
both were honored, DR.. Deal being
made vice-president of the health Of.
ficers' association and DR.. Wallin
treasurer of the State Medical So
ciety.
1t decided to hold the conventions
next year in Lewistown, the date to
be early in July. The members are
anxious to see the famous Judith
Basin and the time for the conven
ton was fixed for July, as it was
thought the crops would be seen to

WELL-kNOWN OFFICER APPOINT.

DEPARTMENT.
]. c. BEBB THE FIRE CHIEF
is Once More in Active Charge of
That Department-Hs Resignation
As Chief Of Police and That of Joe
FrieIds As Police Officer Present
ed-crowiey Appointed.
1t is Chief Martin today.


At the meeting of the city council
last night Mayor Symmes named Mr.
Martin for the position and the ap
pointment was Immediately con.
firmed. John Crowley was the only
police officer appointed, the announce.
ments following the reading of the
designations Of John c. Bebb as chief
and Joeph J. Frields as police officer,
both being accepted
At the mayors suggestion, the
salary of the chief of police was fixed
at 1925 per month, a reduction of $25
a month.
Bebb Fire Chief.
Mr.. Bebb, recently chosen by the
fire department as chief, was formally
appointed by the mayor to that posi-
tion at salary of $125 month, the
same as he formerly received when
actively filling that position. Since
he has been the head of the police
department Art Baker has been the
acting chief.
Mayor Symmes stated that he
would name the other members of
the police force next Monday night
and asked that the police committee
in the meantime consider conditions
carefully and reach a conclusion as
to the number of officers required in
the department.
Inasmuch as Mayor Symmes de-
cided to make a change, he probably
could not have given more general
satisfaction than by selecting Ed
Martin. The new chief served four
years as sheriff of this county and
before that was for four years under
sheriff under l.. P. Slater. He has
gone through about everything that
comes to the experience of an officer
and has always done his duty. Mr..
Martin is very quiet man and has
handled some noted cases in this
county, always with credit to himself.
His friends are confident that in his
new position he will be the same ef.
ficient officer as o; cid.
