Opinion of Killifer Case
in Long Statement

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April H.

statement here today, gave his opin-

lifer case. Gates Is counsel for the
Federal league. He said the Feds
have three courses left: to attempt
o permanent injunction before Judge
Sessions appeal to q higher court,
or sue Killifer for breach Of con-
tract. Since the case was argued
only on agreed facts with no wit
nesses brought into court. the de-
cision is not final. he said. In case a
permanent Injunction Is asked, wit
nesses will be heard showing damage
to the Fed league.
He said the decision against the
reserve clause was q victory for the
Feds. and repeated that he did not
know what course the league would
take In this case.

One winter morning Il little boy of
eight or ten years ran into the office of
the United Charities in New York city
crying bitterly. Between his sobs he
gasped out. Uncle has stolen mothers
front tooth: please get it back for us"
His mother. then lying dead at home,
was an actress. In her youth she had
had a large diamond inserted in her
front tooth, and the advertisement had
proved profitable.
As the years passed misfortune over
took her; she vas deserted by her hus-
band: the family harder vas often
empty and the children hungry. I:eso.
lEtely she refused to part with the dia-
mond. always telling the children that
after her death the money it brought
would support them for some time.
When the little mother became i'll
with tuberculosis the children hushed
her fears about their future with reals
sEra!iCe> Of the value Of the jewel. But
before the funeral Il wicked uncle came

An officer was sent ut once TO the
uncle with threats Of arrest if reStitu-
ton was not made ut once. The mis-
sion WAS successful. the tooth restored,

proceeds used for the children Con.

AMONG OUR NEICHBORS,
A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana EXCHANGES

Chinook Opinion: The county COM
missioners held a special session this
week to consider the proposition of
buying a traction engine for road
work but were unable to reach any
agreement on the proposition as each
one favored a different make of trac-
tor. The matter was finally laid
aside until the next meeting in June.
Glasgow News: One hundred dol
lars reward has been offered by the
Valley County Fair Association for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the party or parties
stealing boards and other materials
from the fair grounds at Glasgow.
The thieving has come to a stage
where it is necessary that some dras-
tic action be taken to put a stop to
such petty larceny pilfering.
Harlem News: Now that the farm.
ers are beginning to fence they should
all adopt the standard rule in fenc-
ing the roadway. In some places
some are leaving a narrow roadway,
others a wide one and some no space
d. oil lOl q lOdu"dys ioA OIc LIlllS
it looks bad and another it means
that some time in the near future
when county roads are laid out the
fences will have to be moved back
to the line. Might just as we'll fix it
right on the start.
Glasgow Courier: The Glasgow
Commercial club has received sample
seed of six different varieties of flax
of European production, for expert
mental growing in this district. Each
variety of the flax seed consists of
so pounds, enough to plant half an
acre, and the club hopes to place
this with farmers who are irrigating,
as by irrigation the straw reaches
the desired length. The longer the
straw, the better, as the experiment
is to ascertain to what extent and
| how fine a grade of fibre can be pro-
duced.
Havre Democrat: A. F. MARGIN
kowski of Box Elder was arrested
yesterday and lodged in the county
Jail to answer to the charge Of sell
ing meat unfit for consumption. The
facts as ascertained by the health Of
ficer were that Marcinkowski recent
ly brought a beef carcass into Box FL
der and tried to dispose of same to a
butcher shop. The meat dealer de-
clined to buy the beef and Markow-
ski then took it to Big Sandy where
he disposed of a portion Of it to a
local meat dealer, who in turn sold
it to half breeds. Neighbors say he
had only one COW and that had died
and he was e e to haul it from the
field and afterward start for town
with the "fresh" beef.
