Creamery Delivery Runaway.

A badly shaken up" driver, a de-
molished wagon wheel and cream and
buttermilk turned into the street. were
the results of the creamery delivery
runaway which occurred this morning
shortly after IL o'clock. The horse
was between First and Second ave-
nues on Eighth street when it start
ed on its mad race. At the corner
it turned and tore down Main to the
front of the mems furnishing depart
ment at Graden's, where it carried
the wagon on the sidewalk and came
very near running it through the
plate glass window. At this point it
broke away from the vehicle and ran
on through the street. The commo-
tion frightened two teams and came
near causing them to create similar
trouble. The horse was hitched to the
wagon in such way that the vehicle
hit its legs every step Of the way
down the hill and doubtless caused it
to run.

ROMAN C|T|z I EN-
DEPUTY SHERIFF

On the first of last December
the county commissioners made
an order cutting off all the dep
uty sheriffs in Missoula county,
and this order caught a deputy
at Bonner and the one doing duty
at Roman. It was effective Jam
uary 1st, and since that time
there has been no deputy in the
Flathead country. Considerable
complaint has been heard and
there has been a general demand
for an officer located somewhere
on the reservation to take care
of local business.
The necessity for an officer
here has been recognized and
Sheriff Whitaker the first of the
week named VIM. Engle of Ro-
nan for the position. Mr.. Engle
was the former deputy sheriff
here and the fact that he was
familiar with the duties, and a
competent officer, secured him
recognition at the hands of the
new sheriff. The Pioneer be-
ieves that Sheriff Whitaker's
action in placing a deputy in Ro-
nan will meet with general ap-
proval.

ONLY ONE TICKET
FORR0NAN VOTERS

Romans town election has
every indication of being a very
tame affair. There will be only
one ticket in the field and one or
two votes for each candidate will
mean an election. Little inter-
est, generally speaking, has been
developed and in some instances
candidates for the different Of
fees have been hard to beat out
of the brush.
A mass meeting was held on
Friday of last week but from all
reports it ended without results.
Another was held Wednesday
afternoon of this week, at which
a ticket was decided upon and
petitions circulated and signed in
accordance with the decision ar
rived at. The first meeting was
attended by four or five only,
while the second gathering is
said to have been no larger.
Probably the attendance at both
meetings would have been more
general had sufficient notice been
given, but the time was short
and everyone so busy that only a
few could be seen, consequently
the light attendance. However,
everyone appears satisfied with
the ticket selected and it will go
through with a whoop.

were:
