feel in justice to myself to show

must be that the Advance editor
is ignorant of the term 'eunuch"
or he would find that it could
be more appropriately applied
to himself, judging from recent
events in the Advance editor s

over some of the publications in

suffer by the comparison. II

ALDERMAN LOWELL FAILS
TO PROVE OFFICIAL
STATEMENTS.

At the July meeting OF the
city council, Mark Lowell went
on record, officially, stating rea-
sons why the writer should not
be city auditor. His objections
were as follows: Haigh is not a
man of independent action. Low
ell then followed this statement
up by the following explanation:
| mean that Haigh will be die
tated to in the official duties of
his office by others. The mayor
then asked Lowell to let the rec
ords show that he was to furnish
.ha proof to his statements at
the next meeting of the council.
Lowell spent his own time and
his money, and his agents time
and their money. burning up
gasoline, and lubricating oil,
securing the country for amda-
Wits against the writer. Lowell
sent his agents out to D. ]. Stein
er's farm in the hopes that they
would talk Mr.. Steiner into max
ing the desired affidavit as, Fred
Near told Lowell or his agents
that Mr.. Steiner and | had some
little differences in a business
transaction some years ago, but
the learned and educated alder
man. or his agents, met with a
reversal at Mr.. Steiner's hands.
Mr.. Steiner instead asked Lowell,
or his agents. why they did not
confirm me. and further stated

again voted down by the solid
fve," all being present. Mr..
Lowell made a motion appoint
ing M. Math;c- auditor to
sign Society he mayor re-
4;sto1ie6 entertain the motion for
the reason that there was no law
for such action and further, that
it Was interfering with the duties
of the mayor. The motion was
carried over the mayors head.
A large number OF bills were ap-
proved. but the most important
ction was the letting of the con-
tract to VIM. Mclaughlin for the
sinking of another we'll on the
hill, the present we'll being un-
able to supply the need.

UNIQUE PRESENTS.

On Tuesday of this week Mr..
and Mrs. R. E. Walker of this
city received unique and much
appreciated presents from Mrs.
Walkers father, who is a resident
of Token, Alaska. The pres
ents were rings, one for each,
made from pure gold mined by
E. H. Garlick, Mrs. Walkers
father. They were hand engrav-
ed and had a miniature miners
cabin at the top of the ring.
while on each side a nugget of
pure gold, supposed to be just
as they were taken from the
mine, and underneath was the
word Alaska The fact that
they are pure gold renders them
soft and very easily marred. Mr..
Garlick has been in Alaska for
eighteen years.

. Mr.. Reeve is one of the big

last year started the manufac-

brand of sausage known as the
y. p" brand, or in other words,
just pig sausage, from which he
gained a state wide reputation.
This particular brand of saul ke
will be on sale at the market On

the outside demand is of such
volume that it is considerable OF
a task to make the supply equal

The other business interests OF
MI. Reeve demands his atten-

Ar
rests Made Sat'y
Mayor Brinton and Four Sffesee-
men Placed Under Arrest on
Warrants Approved by the
States Attorney - Unlawful
Arrest of John Jepson is Com
plant.

Sheriff Madison's office did a
wholesale business last Saturday
when Mayor Brinton and three
policemen, S. A. Smith. H. C.
Bennett and VIM. Neavles were
arrested and taken before Police
Magistrate Plomasen on a charge
of unlawful arrest of one, John
Jepson. and the arrest of Po-
liceman Haigh on a charge of re-
sisting an officer. The first were
arrested on the complaint of
John Jepson and the latter on
the complaint of John Madison.
Mr.. Haigh Immediately waived
examination to the district court
and was placed under bonds by
Plomasen to appear at that time
to answer to the charge.
Mayor Brinton asked for a
hearing and his case was set for
Tuesday at which time he took a
change of venue and the hearing
being held today before JUS
tice Rosenberg.
S. A. Smith, H. C. Bennett
and VIM. Neavles took a change
of venue also and were given a
hearing on Wednesday before
Rosenberg who dismissed Mr.
Bennett and bound Messrs. Smith
and Neavles over to the district
court.
ust how these men are liable
for the actions of the mayor is
not known at this time, as the
attorneys for the policemen pro-
duced the law and supreme
court decisions showing clearly
that they are not liable, while
Attys. Gallagher. Jefferson and
Halliday, who represented the
county in the prosecutions, pro-
duced no law of any kind to
show that they were. 1t seems
to be nothing more than a con-
tinuation of past tactics to en-
barrass, intimidate and put the
policemen to a lot of trouble in
an effort to get them to with
draw. and just why Justice
Rosenberg should endorse such
legal procedure is causing no
little comment among those who
heretofore believed that he had
no afiliation with the workings
of the gang.
Mayor Brinton made the ar
rests personally, and, if he is
guilty of any ofense in making
the arrest, the citizens who as
sisted him, under his orders. are
not liable and a case cannot be
sustained against them, as every
citizen is guilty of a misdemeanor
who refused to assist the mayor
in making an arrest.
Bennett was dismissed, accord
ing to the courts view of the
matter, because he did not lay
hands upon Mr.. Jepson, accord
ing to the complaining witnesses
own testimony.

that would make a good city
auditor.
Lowell and his ilk then sent
their agents to Yates. Mont, so
am told. in the hope that they
would get a6davits to the ef-
feet that ! had been intoxicated
there. Again they failed not be-
ing able to procure any such afi::
davits.
He next sent his agents to pro-
cure an affidavit from one Hen
~ Gugok. and again at the hands
of Mr.. Gulogz they were turn
ed down. But not being satisfied
with his first attempt, Alderman
Mathison was sent out on the fir
ing line. Mathison got Gugolz in
to his automobile and told him
he would take him to see some
party that Mr.. Gugolz wished to
see on some business matter,
but instead the learned AL
derman Mathison, run his car
up along side of the First Ma
tional bank where he pleaded
long with Mr.. Gugolz trying to
get him to go up into Gallagher 8
office and give his affidavit to
Gallagher against me, where we
all know that Gallagher was in
waiting, and would have been
more than pleased, if he could
have had the pleasure to write
an affidavit against me had Mr..
Gugolz given it, but he would
not.
could keep right on telling
you of many others they tried to
get afidavits from but failed.
They did get two amdavits that
don't amount to anything. are
net worthy of mention. They
have no tendency to prove Low
ellis statement, as will tell you
that in order to prove his state
ment, he must prove that my
convictions are not my own.
wish to inform any of you
who were present at a council
meeting on the night that Lowell
was acting clerk when Heath
came in and told Lowell there
was a phone call for him that
Lowell did not go to any phone
but was met by Gallagher OF
some Of his agents in the Heath
hotel and was quickly taken into
back room in the hotel where
,ae dovelD was supplied at the
hands of Gallagher or one of his
agents with written instructions
which Lowell very readily &C,
cepted, instructing him how to
steam roll the council meeting
over the Mayors head, which he
attempted to do. IF this ivory
headed alderman. Lowell, had
one-half a mind of his own, he
would have told Gallagher, o,
his agent. that he did not wan
their dictation as to how he
should act in his official duty
and that he was competent ol
handling the business of the cit,
as an alderman, without any die
tation from Gallagher or any
other person. | expect the al
wise alderman will deny thu
above statements, but if yo,
will come to me | vii! furnish
you the proof for every state
ment | have made about this
and proof that is reliable.
| wish to say in defense of tn.
ivory headed alderman charges
against me, that if ever ! lister
to dictation in the capacity O
any official duty, as majority O
the members of the present cit,
council have done since taking
their oath of office, | hope te
have better judgment than t.
raise this uncalled for and un
reasonable question against 9th
ers, as has the educated alder
man. Mark Lowell.

Will Publish
North Oak. Code
Copyright Will be Given to Pub
fishing Firm and Will Not be
Held by State.

~ representative OF the Law
vers COOPERATIVE Company, of
Rochester. N. Y, is in the city
looking after the publication of
the codes. The last legislature
passed law ordering the secre-
tary of state to contract with this
company for the publication of
the new codes, with annotations.
This law will be found in the
Session Laws of 1913. Chapter
io7. This same law requires the
secretary of state to copyright
the code, but the attorney general
holds that the state has no interest
in the matter. hence it is not nee
essary for the secretary of state
to secure the copyright. The
Lawyers COOPERATIVE company
desires to have the copyright
themselves, hence Secretary Hall
acting on the advice of the attor-
ney general, will not have the
code copyrighted.
This decision and action is
based en- the fact that the state
has no interest in the sale OF the
code and inasmuch as this COM
pany makes a speciality of edit
ing such works, and of printing
the same, there will be nothing
wrong in allowing them to have
the copyright. The laws cannot
be copyrighted, and the annota-
tions which are made by the pub
fishing company really belong to
them.
1t is held by those in close
touch with these matters that the
code should not be printed at
this time, inasmuch as the pro-
bate code will in all probability
be revised by the next legisla-
ture. As it is, the present pro-
bate code is a badly complicated
and confusing mass of laws. Gov
etnor Burke at one time appoint
ed a commission to revise the
probate code. This commission
produced what is said to be one
of the best probate codes in the
United States. This revision was
presented to the last legislature,
but for some reason, it was pass
ed over to the coming session.
Now if the present laws are
printed into a code. with all the
old probate laws. and the new
code is then adopted. which is
imperative. new code will soon
have to be issued.
The new code will necessarily
have to be made into two vol
umes; then there will be the new
probate laws and the session
laws of 1915. hence all lawyers.
or others will be compelled to
buy four books.
The matter has caused consid-
cradle discussion among those
giving attention to such matters.

A BAD LAND TRIP

On tuesday morning OF this
week a party composed of w.
A. Sprague as chief of scouts,
Judge Frank Fitzgerald as peace
adjuster, Charles Elliott as chief
forager. Earl Sprague as the nee
essary adjunct, and Will and
Jabe Stonehouse. recently ar
rived from Detroit, Mich, and
to some extent representatives
of the ''tenderfoot," left Spra-
gue's ranch last Tuesday morning
for weeks outing in the bad
lands in the vicinity of Glendive
g. x and the Powder river. The
i:ar:, re all supposed to make
the trip on saddle horses, but
from what we know of some of
them we don't believe many
miles will have been traversed
before they will be increasing the
load of the team which is draw
ing the grub wagon. There is
little doubt but what the trip
will be greatly enjoyed by all,
even though the first few days
will develop many sore spots on
those not accustomed to the sad
die.
