To laugh at trouble, smile at pain,

To find no fault except our own,
To feel within the storm, the calm

To seek the pure in the alloy.
To fight for right and justice sake,
To aid a losing brother,

Just TO ourselves, no other.

HUGH WELLSMAY
BE i. S. MARSHALL
~"Ster Iounty Representative Spoken of as Possible
Successor to Marsllalshp

Hugh Wells, Custer county
representative, who is chairman
OF the steering committee of the
house OF representatives, and the
first member from eastern Mon-
tana who has ever held this re-
sponsible position, is seriously
talked of by his friends as a can
dldate for United States marshal.
AS it is generally known that
there is a deadlock on this an
polntment, Hugh Wells is dis
cussed as the compromise candi-
date. From his long experience
as an officer, ID years as sheriff.
and his popularity in eastern
Montana, not only as a criminal
officer, but also as man who
has had much to do with the
developement of that part of the
state, he has become prominent.
The friends of Wells are be-
hind him. They believe he will
be agreeable with Senators Walsh
and Myers.
Hugh Wells came to Montana
10 years ago as general manager
OF the Hat H, a big ranch north
OF Miles City. They ran at that
time 1900 head of cattle. AS
the range settled up and home
steaders filed their claims, the

back to January Is, 1911 when
one August Costello was blown to
