An Alienation Suit.

An unusual action has Just been
filed in the district court, John Dvorak
bringing suit against Louis Ludwigg,
commonly known as Louis Chan. Ac-
cording to the allegations of the com
plant the plaintiff and his wife, Mary,
were married here on Feb. 70, 1912,
and by reason Of this marriage Dvorak
became entitled to the society and
companionship of his wife. They lived
happily together until last May, when
the plaintiff alleges the defendant be-
gan paying attentions to Mrs. Dvorak.
This continued until last December,
when Dvorak claims that the defen-
dant, through undue influence, aliena-
ted the Woman's affections for her
husband and persuaded her to leave
the plaintiff and since that time she
has lived with the defendant. Dvorak
asks for $4,000 for this alienation of
his Wife's affections. w. M. Black
ford and J. G. Huntoon are the plain
tiff's attorneys.

Daniel Bean made a request that
the city give him the use of the land
acquired by the city in connection
with the source of water supply in
Spring creek. Mr.. Bean explained
that he would like to develop this
tract into a beautiful park and coun-
try club resort, and could make it an
ideal spot for picnics. He proposed
to grow trees and shrubs on the
ground and would supply them to the
city for Day park free of charge. Re-
ferred.
Storm Sewer.
The Baptist church urgently re-
quested the council to lay drain in
to drain the water accumulated back
of the church. This brought up a gen.
eral discussion and it was the sense
OF the aldermen that storm sewer

In that section was the only solution
of the problem.
On motion of Alderman Wiedeman,
the city engineer was instructed to
prepare plans, specifications and an
estimate of the cost of a storm sewer
extending from the hill down to the
creek, along an alley between Broad
way and Washington streets.

Mayors Proclamation.
Mayor w. d. Symmes yesterday is
sued the following "Go-to-Church Sun.
day" proclamation:
The movement now under way
throughout the country, having for its
purpose the increase of interest in the
work of our churches and the stimu-
lation of church attendance, is most
commendable and deserving of encour-
agement.
The churches exert wonderful ef-
feet for good upon the whole social
structure of our cities. The lessons
which they teach and the influences
which follow from them have been, in
the past, and will continue in the fu-
ture, to be of immeasurable help in
elevating human character; in empha-
sizing the brotherhood of man; in de-
veloping benevolent impulses, and in
promoting righteousness.
In response, therefore, to an invita-
tion from those i'm charge of the move
ment in the city of Lewistown, l glad
ly proclaim Sunday, March 8, 1914, as
"Go-to-Church Sunday" and urge up
on all people, irrespective of creed or
church affiliations, to observe the day
by attendance upon services at some
one of the many churches of our city.

TO COME THIS YEAR
CLIP SOLD IN MEAGHER COUNTY
AT ABOUT SEVENTEEN
CENTS.

Dick Patterson, representing Ayres
& Co, of Chicago, was here last week,
being the first wool buyer to visit this
section this year. Dick said his object
was to look over the field and size up
the situation, as he hardly expected
to close up any contracts Immediately.
Sale at Dillon.
Dillon, Feb. 28.-J. r. Edgeheill, the
Boston wool buyer, who recently re-
turned from the northern part of the
state, yesterday contracted for 200, 900
pounds more of Beaverhead wool for
the Hallowell Jones & Donald COM
pany, one of the principal operators
in the western territory last season.
The recent purchases make a total
of 100000 pounds of wool contracted
for in this vicinity. The late clip In
clude those of Mrs. Mary D. Craver,
Mrs. Flore E. Armstrong and Isaac
Rife of Medicine Lodge; Mrs. Thomas
Yearian of Sunfield, Idaho, and the
Moses & Haining clip from Blaine.
The prices paid ranged from 16 to
16A cents per pound, practically the
same as paid here last year.
Over Seventeen Cents.
Meagher County Democrat: Dudley
N. Hartt, our extensive cattleman,
ranch owner and wool buyer, started
the 1914 wool buying campaign by
contracting for local clip at price
little better than seventeen cents,
which indicates the desirability of our
product and initiates movement of
particular interest to the woolgrow-
ers of the state. 1t is gratifying to
know that special attention is being
given our clip. which insures a sub
stantial market for the year. Better
prices may result, through competi-
tiOn, for our choice product.

of contracting such work and believe
that in general good values are being

it was possible to get brought. We
were not able to fix the responsibility
for this crime.
In our investigations we have found

recommend that it be looked into fur

can be easily obtained.
