DISTRICT COURT
PROCEEDINGS
Jury Finds Hibben Guilty of As
sault in Second Degree.
NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICT
New Bill Which Passed Legislature
Creating Seventeenth Judicial
District Ready for Signature.

The last Of the criminal cases on
the calendar for this term Of Court
was disposed Of Friday, when the jury
in the case Of State of Montana VS.
Geo. Hibben found him guilty of as
sault in the second degree.
The case had been a long drawn
out one, necessitating the use Of inter-
prefers for many Of the witnesses and
was further delayed by the sudden ILL.,
ness Of one of the jurors. Attorneys
Dignan and Borton appeared for the
defendant and County Attorney Geo.
Ruftcorn was assisted in prosecuting
the case by Attorney E. L. Norris of
Great Falls. On March lst, the day
set for the passing Of sentence, Judge
Utter suspended sentencing Hibben,
until he could make an investigation
into the facts Of the case, and post
poned it until March 9Th.
On Tuesday the case of Homer Har-
ding VS.. Charles F. Tanner came up
for trial, Attorney r. E. O'Keefe Of
Chinook representing the Plaintiff and
George E. Hurd of Great Falls, the
defendant. The case went to the jury
Wednesday and after several hours
deliberation, the vote stood 8 in favor
of awarding the Plaintiff the verdict
and four against. The verdict was
signed and sealed and the jurors were
dismissed until the next morning.
When the roll of the jurors was call
ed, it was found that only seven stat
ed that it was their verdict and five
did not. Judge Utter declared it q
mis- trial and set the case. ahead.
On Friday morning everything was
ready to resume, when it was found
that owing to the fact that the bill
creating the Seventeenth Judicial Dis
t,ic, was passed by the Scnsse on the
last day Of the session. and it is
new up to the Governor for his sigEa
ture, they would have to dismiss court
until they found out exactly the pro-
visions of the bill. Bot1 sets of jur-
ors were dismissed but the twelve
jurors in the Harding VS.. Tanner trial
were retained.
The new bill provides for the Gre
alton of the Seventeenth Judicial Dis.
trict out of the Twelfth, the new one
to comprise Sheridan, Valley and Phil
lips counties, and the Twelfth dis
trict to include Blaine, Hill and Cho
teau. As the bill was originally in
troduced, Judge Utter would hole
court in the Seventeenth Judicial Dis
trict and Judge Tattan or possibly :
new Judge in the Twelfth.
Several other cases came up before
the Judge and were decided upon, ant
the case of Tucker VS.. Nacey was dis
missed without prejudice.

SACO HOTEL OPENS MARCH 10th

The new hotel at Saco has set its
opening day for Wednesday, March
10th. A big reception, dance and ban.
quet has been arranged for the oc-
casion and many visitors from the
neighboring towns are expected to be
present on the opening day.

pressed himself upon his last visit
here. II like this city and the peo-
pie in it," was the way he express
ed his sentiments.
In discussing the possibility Of MAX
ing such changes as are desired by the
people Of Glasgow at the plant of the
Great Northern, it was agreed that
recommendations be made at once
for platform extensions paralleling
the main line track, giving better IA
cilities for passengers leaving and ar
riving from the coaches, with electric
lights upon the platform to give suf-
ficient service at the arrival of night
trains.
Recommendation will also be made
for freight house and industrial
track in the west end Of the yard.
This change, if effected, will, of course,
take some little time to bring about,
as it requires a heavy investment in
labor, and material. The need of this
change is recognized by the officials
and their friendliness to the movement
was apparent at the meeting. It was
suggested that a most satisfactory
change here would be the erection of
freight house with receiving and
loading platform on one side and the
industrial track upon the other. This
would make the handling Of the heavy
shipments at this point more conven-
lent for both the railroad and the
shipper.
The fact that wholesale and job
bing houses are now looking to Glas-
gov as desirable location for branch
es and the corresponding increase in
business to result from the addition
of such lines to the business interests
of the city was factor in the consid-
Grafton of the changes in the freight
department. The Capitol Commission
Co., of Helena, having made the ini-
tial move in this direction by estab-
! fishing a branch here. points the way
which will naturally be followed be.
! fore long by other jobbers, and it will
not be surprising to see within the
year many such branches in operation
4 Iatf Glasgow. The city being natur.
al point of distribution for a very
large territory offers excellent induce
ments for wholesalers supplying the
trade from this point. +
The party Of officials remained il
, Glasgow during the afternoon and eve'
ming. The meeting in the CONNER
cial Club rooms continued until about
5 o'clock, when the visitors were show,
about the city. The evening was
spent at the Orpheum Theatre afte,
which the party returned to their pri
vate cars at the east end of the yards
leaving on No. 4 that night.
Cooperation between the Grea
Northern Railway and the city of Glas
gov on a mutual basis Of friendl!
interest is more than assured by tn
visitors here during the past montl
of the various officers Of the company
At all times they have expressed tn
desire and intentions Of working i,
harmony with the city for the futur
welfare of both railroad and city. Th'
citizens of Glasgow can feel confiden
that these expressions of friendship
are sincere and will bear the ricl
fruit in the conduct of the Great Nor
thern in all future times.

BAKER IS PART
OF BOSTON DEAL
Gardner For Connie Mack
Maisel to Be Turned
Over in Trade

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 21.-Accord-
ing to reports there is big three
cornered deal on in the American
League that involves the Athletics.
If the deal is made Third Basemau
Larry Gardner of the worlds cham
pion Red Sox, will join Mack's forces.
j. Franklin Baker will be turned over
to the Yanks and Fritz Maisel will go
to the Red Sox.
1t is said that Gardner has had some
differences with members of the Bos-
ton team. Gardner is a warm per-
sonal friend of Ty Cobb's, and took
the Georgian's part in the torrid series
between the Boston and Detroit clubs
in September, when Cobb almost came
to blows with several of the Red Sox.
The report says that some of the
Red Sox resented this show of friend
ship on Gardner's part. The Red SoX
have always been noted for their
cliques 1t will be recalled that the
Carrigan clique chased Jake Stahl off
the team in the middle of the season
of 1913, although Stahl won worlds
championship the year before.
Gardner played brilliant ball in the
recent worlds series and would un-
doubtedly strengthen the Athletics.
The same report says that Ray Collins.
one of Gardner's chums. was slated
for release and that Vean Gregg was
also on the market.

PAT MORAN Is
NOW FREE AGENT
Contract Expires; No Effort to
: Resign Him Says Philadel-
phia Sport Writer

According to James P. Isaminger.
sport writer on the Philadelphia North
American, Patrick Moran has not
signed a contract for next season.
This, it is said is causing much worri-
ment among baseball fans in Phila-
delphia. The Quaker scribe says:
The statement that he put his sigma
ture to a document in the Phils' Office
late last week was absolutely without
foundation.
Since the close of the worlds series
President Baker has seen Moran on
numerous occasions, but the question
of signing for 1916 has never been
discussed.
By winning the National League
pennant this year. Moran stunned the
entire baseball world.
Moran's Contract
Probab bly, no championship won in
years has been more of a manager 5
personal triumph than Moran's vic
tory this year. and his feat stamped
him as one of the greatest tacticians in
the game.
Moran's contract expired on October
Is, and he is free to sign with any
club in the two major leagues. While
it is inconceivable that the owners of
the PhilS would affront the fans by
letting the only man who ever cap
tured a pennant for the Phillies slip
away, the leisurely policy the owners
have adopted in regard to his reap
pointment is a matter of some con-
cern.
OF course Moran will not manage
the Phils in 1916 for the same money
he received in 1915 or anything like it.
He worked for a nominal salary this
year and the stockholders, who were
enriched to the extent of $1,000 in
the worlds series alone because of
Moran's generalship and ability, will
have to come across with an adequate
salary to hold him.
Moran has every fan in the city at
his feet and is in the position of nam
ing his own terms. To be turned
down by the club would mean the ruin
of the Phils.

Woman Grabs Wild Fowl;
Loses Out in Hard Fight
SteeiaE to irhe rcIecrnbh

Altoona, Pa, Oct 21.-While pass
ing along the highway in the vicinity
of Decker hollow, back of Athletic
park, near Tyrone, Mrs. Samuel b..
Beyer and Mrs. William Murdock back
of Tyrone, saw a small flock of tur-
keys land on a fence. One big gobbler
was so busy calling in the flock that
he did not notice the approach of the
women who got close enough for Mrs.
Beyer to grab the gobbler around the
neck.
The excitement of the ensuing min
ute or two was intense, and whether
1t was because she realized she did
not have hunters license, or
whether the safety first" slogan was
uppermost in her mind, is hard to
determine but at any rate the turkey
got away and soon after several
excited hunters came by and learned
the story, much to their disappoint-
ment for they were loaded up to the
neck for this very same flock of wild
turkeys.
That old saying "a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush" did not
hold good in this instance.
