Montana is sick and until it
is properly purged and put
on a normal basis it will need
the loving care of a nurse
mother, and our good gov
ernor has done well to play

The feverish boom days of

when really there has been
no bleeding, because the le-

a fair rate and nothing more.

Immediately following the reading
of the message, bills were introduced
asking for an emergency appropria-
ton Of $1,000 to fight the disease.
Prompt action on the part Of the state
was at once urged by leaders OF all
parties and the state will at once take
steps to keep under quarantine the
disease which has made it's appear
ance in southern Kansas. An appro-
priation to fight the spread of the dis
ease will he made available at once.
The governor in his message said:

Mr.. Bishop was not placed under ar

Officers in Topeka suspected him of the
assault and Undersheriff Hugh Lari-

the authorities, which Bishop readily
consented to do. He was not at any time

Bishop proved a complete alibi in the
afternoon.
The message received in Topeka from
Tulsa read that Bishop was under ar
rest and a great injustice has been done
to him by stating that he was arrested.
The telegram was not properly worded
and it was construed SO as to give
the belief that Bishop was charged with
the crime.
The sheriff is now directing all of his
energies looking for Arthur Houser who
was originally suspected of the crime
and who has apparently disappeared
