BILLINGS co. CONTESTS
COME Up next WEEK

A report from Medora says that the
next disturbance in Billings county will
start from Golden Valley and settle over
the valley of the Little Missouri the
first week in January. This disturbance
will be an outcome of the segregation
of Golden Valley from Billings county.
At the last general election held in
Billings county. C. r. McCluskey, a
resident of what is now Golden Valley
county. was elected to the Office of reg
lister of deeds for Billings county. A
short time after the election the final
act was contaminated which separated
Golden Valley from Billings county.
McCluskey continued to reside in Golden
Valley county until the oath Of Decem-
Der. when he moved into Billings
county. with the expectation of qualify
ing for the Office to which he claims he
was elected.
George E. BURGESS who is now hold
ing the Office expects to be ''hold-
over" for the next two years, claiming
McCluskey cannot quail y, not having
gained residence in Billines county.
as now established. Before the last
election. N. d. Nichols. anticipating
the division Of the county. had some
stickers p nted. ant in this way re-
ceived some votes for this Office. Mich
ols is rsw con'estine the election of
McCluskey, and claims his own election
on the ground that as McCluskey was
resident of Golden Valley county. he
was not elected in Billings county, and
that he was the only one who legally
received any votes for the Office.
Both sides to this controversy are
placing their faith on a case taken to
our supreme court from Mclean county.
In that case no proof was offered of
non-residerce.
Should this case be decided in ia vor
of McCluskey, then j. Corlis of Golden
Valley county. could qualify as county
judge in place of ]. A. Paxton now
holding this position. Should the
contention Of Nichols h Id good, George
Dollard would be county judge.
L. A. Simpson has been retained by
McCluskey, while Tobias D. Casey holds
the Nichols end-of the string.
