CRIMINAL SUSPECT
TAKEN OUT OF TOWN

Fearing a lynching bee, rumbling
rumors of which were to be heard all
last week around town, the sheriff's
Office succeeded in getting Paul
Moody, the 26-year old rape suspect,
on train No. last Friday evening, by
having the train stop at the fair
grounds for the prisoner and his GUS
todian, Under-sheriff Art Holland.
\ The getaway was carefully and
quietly planned and successfully exc
cuted, and that it was one of the best
moves Of its kind ever carried out in
Dawson county was the cOncensus OF
opinion of the people the following
day. It is considered that regular
and properly legal hanging once in
quarter-century is bad enough, but a
lawless necktie party. Ugh!
The suspect, who is said to have
completely confessed his crime to the
officers and who is said to be ready to
confess publicly and thereby throw
himself on the mercy of the court,
was taken by the under-sheriff to
Miles City for safe keeping, where he
will remain until some time next
week, when he will be brought back
to stand trial for his crime or plead
guilty, whichever he decided to do.
The crime itself, quite as much as
the nature OF its commission and the
nonchalant manner which the arrest
ed man affected at the time OF his ar
rest and until confronted by his 13-
year old victim, was revolving IN the
extreme and while there was no open
or outspoken threats against the sus-
poets life, the fear that the county at
torney would compromise on q short
sentence in order to secure q confess
sion, seemed TO- grow until it assumed
such proportions that the aforesaid
action Of the court and sheriff's office
was thought expedient.

GRIST OF CASES
IN POLICE COURT

The grist of cases in the police
court mill during the past week were
of the usual order. Last Wednesday
Thomas Boyd was fined IS for drunk
enness and was locked up in default
Of the same. He was guest OF the
city for a period of two days, at the
rate of $3.50 per day, quite cinch
when one considers that all he did was
to lie around on a nice imitation rat
tan couch all day and eat specially
prepared 2O-cent meals. Perhaps II
these law violators were allowed the
privilege Of breathing little OF Gods

snow from the sidewalks and cross

ed to something like holiday proper
tions-but that is just little harm
less vaporing from our editorial dome,
and is neither here nor there.
Last Thursday George Harris, Chas.
Keligran and Fred Dunham were
charged with intoxication and went
to the lookup in default OF q IS fine
each. On the same day, the police
court room was graced with the pres
ence of Mrs. Dennis Tjersway who
was charged by the police with drunk

SOME RAILROAD TALK
THAT LISTENS GOOD

Some of the best-sounding railroad
talk heard in this neck of the woods
for many months past was that con-
tanned in an interview given out by
Col. d. j. Hull, the Great Northern
Railroad right of way man who stop
ped over in the city between trains
last Friday.
Colonel Hull stated that the Great
Northern had at last definitely decid-
ed on the south survey running one
mile south of Redwater, for the new
line west from Lambert. This will of
course wipe out any aspirations which
Lambert may have had of securing
the division point. He stated further
that he was certain that construction
work on the New Rockford-Lewiston
cut off, west of Lambert to a point
about rs miles outside of Lewistown,
was to begin at once, weather only
considered.
Colonel Hull also emphasized the
fact that never before have the Great
Northern officials been so definite in
their statements regarding this new
line of road. They now state definite
ly. that the new road will positively
be in active and actual operation in
time to take care of the big outgoing
crop of grain in the fall of 1916.
Coming from anyone else, these
statements might be doubted, but the
Colonel has been so guarded and con-
servative in his statements in the
past, that the above may safely be
taken prima facie.

Armor Plate Graft
Exposed by Daniels
Government Grossly Overcharged For Years
Proposes to Build Armor Plate Plant
Uncle Sam to Save Large Sum

peaIs decided adversely to the COM
pany, and his decision is quoted in
part by Secretary Daniels, as follows:
Value Of Secrecy.
'This case illustrates the import
ance of the United States having a
manufactory of it's own for the manu-
facture of torpedoes and other imple-
ments of war, which are improved and
changed from time to time by the ad-
dition of ingenious mechanism, which
should clearly be kept secret unless
our enemies are to profit equally with
ourselves in every improvement
which the ingenuity of our army and
navy officers may suggest
The secretary urges this phase of
the question as one important reason
why the government should do its own
manufacturing. Referring to the fact
that the private armor plate concerns
have been divulging secrets of manu-
facture to foreign nations, the secre-
tary says: "The ability to retain for
ourselves all the advantages which
the skill and knowledge of naval ex-
perts give to private manufacturers
ought to belong only to our navy. This
additional reason for the establish
ment of government plant is not to
be lightly regarded

STATE EXAMINERS OFFICE
PRAISES CITY OFFICIALS
Says Helena Office is we'll Pleased-
City Clerk Deserves Praise
Improvements Suggested.

One of the best "boosts" ever ac-
corded any Montana city, with the
possible exception of Great Falls, was
that given Glendive by the state ex-
aminer's Office in Helena in a letter to
the mayor and city council received
early in the month.
The letter came from the office of
State Examiner H. S. McGraw and
was signed by Deputy State Examin-
ler John w. Dawson, the official who
conducted the recent examination of
the city's books and accounts.
The city treasurer's Office was fav-
orably commended and the statement
of total receipts and disbursements of
$7,701.11 for the period from July 1,
1915 to Nov. 20, 1915, was found by
the state deputy to be exact to the
penny. Police Justice Fred j. Gould
ing's docket was found to have been
in good order and the system used by
the police magistrate to be satisfact-
ory with the exception of much
needed cash book which Mr.. Dawson
suggested and which Mr.. Goulding
promised to install. This will show
the exact amount of money collected
each day and will show each individu-
al transaction separately, the same as
is now being done in all cities of
Glendive's class in the state.
Mr.. Dawson stated that the system
in use in the city weighmaster's office
was good one and entirely met with
the approval of his department. He
was not so favorable in his criticism
of the police department stating that
no dog tax or license whatsoever has
so far been collected by the police
chief and that the road tax had not
yet been gone after by that official.
The above is no doubt accounted for
by the fact that Mr.. Kinney has just
recently returned from two months
vacation in the east.
The city clerks claims were compar-
ed with the warrants issued and found
to agree. All bills and claims in the
future, however, must be accompanied
by an affidavit sworn to by the city's
creditors. Another important ruling
which must be carried out in the fu-
ture is that the police chief must fur
nish the city clerk each day with the
names of the prisoners incarcerated
in the city jail, together with the
date of such Incarceration and the
exact number Of meals. Mr.. Kinney
now serves the meals to the prisoners
at 20 cents per meal, a reduction OF 5
cents per meal from the former figure.
The letter concluded with the state
ment that the examiners Office is well
pleased with the shape the books are
getting in and that 'Mr. Colin, at
least, deserves a compliment, for it
was no small job"

paign to put the ban on the so-called
Suit Clubs, whereby the sucker pays
one dollar a week for twenty weeks in
the hopes of winning a $50 suit of
then gets shoddy suit that he prob
ably didn't want in the first place.
"As far as can be learned no cloth
ing merchant or gents furnishing
store in Glendive has ever tried out
the scheme, although such a club is
known to have been in existence.
Whether it is still running this pa
per is not in position to know, but
it does know that one was started
some time ago.
ut seems that very seldom does a
reputable merchant take on such a
scheme, the idea being nearly always
promoted by some boomer tailor.
Such schemes are strictly against the
law and anyone can put the promoters
out of business by complaining to the
state or county authorities The le-
gitimate and reputable merchants
are the ones most affected by this
sort of lottery or gambling game, and
it is they who nearly always make
the complaint whereby the swindle is
put out of commission and the pro-
motors put in Jail or heavily fined"

Seeks Information
on Suit Club Game
Writer Re-epens Question of Their Legality
Promoters Ignore Editorial Warning
Other Law Violations

The Monitor is in receipt of sign
ed letter which brings up again the
question of the legality of the social
ed suit clubs, to which this paper re-
ferred editorially in it's issue of Oc-
tober 21, and to which article it
would appear no attention whatso-
ever has been paid by either the
county attorney or the sheriff's office.
The Letter Of Inquiry.
The letter follows, the signature
being omitted for obvious reasons:
Glendive, Dec. 13
Editor Monitor,
Dear Sir:
l have been informed that the
promoters of the Suit Club have
sold tickets to men in their en-
. ploy. have been asked to join
but it don't look just right to me.
/ l am new man in Glendive and
like to see things run on the
men in their employ join this
club? They are going to have
the first drawing next Saturday.
Please answer in the next issue of
the Monitor.
The Answer.
The answer to that letter, so far as
the Monitor is concerned, is that not
only have the promoters Of the social.
ed Suit Club no right to sell tickets
to men in their own employ, but they
have absolutely no legal right to sell
tickets to anyone, as the promotion
Of such scheme is considered to be
lottery and, If 50, is just as much as
violation Of the state law as the COM
mission Of any other crime mention.
ed in the statutes and forbidden by
their tenets.
If it is true that the promoters of
the so-called Suit Club, or clubs, are
going to have drawing next Satur-
day it must also be true that they
have made arrangements to violate
the law in spite of the warning which
this paper sounded in it's editorial
above referred to and which seems to
have escaped their eye as well as the
eye of the county officials, whose
sworn duty it is to not only prevent
the violation of law, but also to public
ly prosecute the Offenders.
The Editorial Warning.
The editorial referred to was as fol.

Helena, have started an active cam

To Grow Wheat Next Year.

With all the various experiments
am trying. there still stirs within me
spirit of discomfort because I have
is to be done next year. The difficulty
has been that 1 had no land suitable
which was available at the right time
but this fall | am going to plant two
acres to winter wheat. LAS l have no
drill and couldn't afford to buy one for
my small acreage, I'll have to hire all
the work done, but even at that / be-
lieve it would pay-especially il war
time prices for wheat are going to con-
tinue.
With the harvest from two acres of
wheat and plenty of corn, we would be
pretty nearly Independent on the score
of chicken feed. We would have to
continue to buy meat meal and ground
grains for mash. but with plenty of
wheat and corn we could get along
without buying any scratch feed. The
wheat straw. after being used for litter
in the chicken houses and as bedding
for the stock, would have full value
when plowed under for manure. Cows
will eat wheat straw if they can't get
a hay more to their liking, but 1t isn't
a very good milk maker.
When | planted the field OF oats to
nurse the grass l had intended to let
il riran and have it thrashed, but there
was so little of it that Mr.. Brown adj
vised me it would be more profitable to
cut it green and cure it for hay. 1t
doesn't pay. he showed me, to hire
thrasherS TO come unless there Is at
least one full days work for them. Next
year ! may try an acre or two of oats
and have it thrashed along with my
wheat. but IN not do it unless I can
figure it will be more profitable than
using the ground for hay.
