prlson Workers Earn Less.

Prison workers Earn Less.
Eight factories operating in 1914 in
the Missouri penitentiary, leasing
convict labor, consisting of two boot
and shoe establishments, one broom
factory, two overalls and similar gar
ment factories, one harness shop, one
leather finding establishment and one
saddle-tree factory turned out prod
ucts worth $4,288,641. The total rep
resented decrease of $6Sz,T72 from
the 1918 value output Of the seven es-
adjustments employing convict work
ers, announces bulletin just issued
by the Labor Commissioner John T..
Fitzpatrick.
The decrease in worth of output
and quantity of commodities manu-
factured was chiefly due to the re-
tirement Of one shoe manufacturing
establishment in the early part Of last
year. This corporation, having fac
tory elsewhere in Jefferson City, sur
rendered its prison contract and is
now employing outside labor solely.
1t, however, paid the state $4,070 for
convict labor employed during the
early part of the year which was used
in winding up its prison manufactur'
ing. A new overalls company ac-
quired the rights of the retiring shoe
corporation,

posed by the arrest of Frank Beckett,
in st. Louis. Beckett confessed that
Kansas City burglar serving term

the box from the railroad station.
The trap was laid for Beckett by

Several days ago the superintendent
of the factory noticed an unusual or
der on the files. 1t was for box of
goods to be shipped to an address
far from the retail section Of st. Louis
and it was decided to ship and trace
the order. When Beckett called for
the box and receipted for them, he
was arrested and is said to have made

MARRIED AN ALIEN
AND LOSES HER VOTE

Chicago, Feb. 18.-Mrs. Angelo Mu-
relo. American born, and q resi-
dent of Chicago all her life, cannot
vote at the primaries next Tuesday,
because she is not citizen, while
Mrs. Minnie Clemenz, foreign born
and who never took out naturalization
papers, has a right to help select a
candidate for mayor.
A double ruling of the election COM
mission today deprived Mrs. Murelo,
who voted laat spring, of her fran
chise, and granted Mrs. Clemenz the
privileges of an American citizen.
Mrs. Murelo, the commission found,
recently married an alien and conse-
quently lost her American citizen
ship. Mrs. Clemenz was granted the
right to vote because her husband,
now dead, was naturalized 18 years
ago. When her husband is naturaliz-
ed, Mrs. Murelo can vote again.

Glendive Resident
Murdered For Money
Was on Way to Join Regiment in German Army
Left Here With Seven Hundred Dollars
Body Found in Ships Bunker

He was known to have told severa
friends in this city that he would en-
list in the German army if the Ger
mans ever seemed to be getting the
worst of the fight, and it is thought
that his determination to make the
trip was the outcome.
When he left home it is said that
he told his wife he was going to Glen
dive to straighten out some business
matters, and so far as can be learned
up to the time of going to press, he
made no mention of his contemplated
trip to any of his friends while here.
Heuser first came to Glendive about
ten years ago, first working as a sta
tionary engineer. Later on he filed
on a homesead, where he has resided
with his wife ever since. 1t is under
stood the body has been ordered
shipped back to this city for inter
ment.

MONITOR CELEBRATES
TENTH BIRTHDAY

From the heading of last weeks
issue of the Monitor it will be seer
that we are just ten years old. The
head shows the numeral Vol. II, No
|, meaning the first week of the be
ginning of the eleventh year Of our
newspaper existence.
BY trick Of the calendar in af.
fecting the number of weeks in a
month we have lost about two weeks,
in odd days, during the ten years past
and so in going over our files for the
Introduction of the new department
devoted to items of interest of Ten
Years Ago, we find that the first issue
Of the paper was dated March End,
1905. On that account, that depart
ment will not be begun as a regular
feature of the Monitor until the issue
of Thursday, March 4th.
Many changes have taken place in
the ten years of our Dawson county
experience, but thank goodness, all for
the better. We can confidently state
that we are living now in better city,
a better county and a better state
than we were ten years ago. Dec
Gratia.

Gas Franchise
Wins Easily
Only One Woman Voter Exercises Franchise
Vote Was Exceptionally Light
Fifty For---Six Against

The election on the question OF
the granting of gas franchise to the
Miles City outfit represented by Miles
w. Milligan, which was held in this
city last Saturday, resulted in an
overwhelming majority in favor of the
franchise being granted.
The total vote was very light, most
citizens and property holders refusing
to vote, being under the impression
that the proposition would carry with
out their help.
The vote stood so to 6, one dissent
ing vote being cast in Ward l, and the
other in Ward No. 2, across the
track.
Mr.. Milligan is an old-time resident
of Montana and besides being we'll
known, is recognized as a man of his
word.
Under the provisions of the propos-
ed franchise, the new company has 90
days in which to start to work and
three years in which to complete it,
although there seems to be nothing in
the document to prevent them "lay-
ing down" at any time they see fit
Yellowstone monitor. [volume] (Glendive, Mont.) 1905-1928, 1915-02-25

Word was received in this city early
IN the week to the effect that the body
of q Dawson County hOmesteader
Charley J.. Heuser was found in the
coal bunkers of the North German
rIoyd steamship, Nieu Amsterdam
inst as the ship was about to sail for
Rotterdam, Holland.
Although indications pointed to the
man having been murdered, the sum
of $500 in money was found in belt
which he wore around his body.
Heuser, who is well known in this
city is said to have left his wife about
two weeks ago without funds and
without giving her any intimation of
his contemplated trip to Germany to
ioin his old regiment in the European
war; He had 500 on his person when
he left here for Bismarck, N. D., from
which city he wrote to a Glendfve
friend telling him of his plans to visit
the old country.

GLENDIVE BAND TO

HOLD MEETING
A meeting of the Eastern Montana
Band will be held in the council
chamber of the new city hall this
evening.
The meeting, which will be the first
of the season, has been called for the
election of officers as we'll as for their
first Spring practice. M. G. Mcdowell
has been manager of the band during
the past year and he will probably be
nominated for reelection.
Director George Jones will no doubt
continue to hold his old position, hav-
ing proven himself most capable
leader.
Plans for the erection of portable
or permanent band stand will probab-
ly be discussed, although it is expect
ed that the next performance of the
Glendive Dramatic club will be pro-
duced for the purpose of erecting such
structure in the city park, the de-
tails of which will be announced later

GLENDlVE SINGER
PLANS EASTERN TRIP

Howard Melaney, the we'll known
and highly talented local singer, plans
to take a trip in the near future to
Minneapolis, st. Paul and possibly
higher conservatory of music or of
securing an engagement with ahigh
class opera company where his ex-
cellent voice will receive proper cul-
tivatOn and where his talents will be
more widely appreciated.
For the past ten years Mr.. Melaney
has sung in concerts, operettas and
operas as we'll as being the leading
tenor soloist in several Catholic
church choirs; and has very accept
ably taken a wide range of vocal
character parts in both professional
and amateur productions.
For the past two years he has de-
lighted many Glendive audiences in a
number of home talent productions,
and has received high praise from
such men as Professor Davis of the
Royal Gwent Singers, who took oc-
casion to say from the stage at the
Arcade Opera house at their last ap-
pearance in this city, that great fu-
tnre was in store fro the young man
whom he predicted would some day,
under proper instruction, be a great
tenor.
Professor Davis even suggested
publicly that Mr.. Melaney's voice was
of such rich volume and character
of tone, that the city would do we'll to
raise fund to send the young man
to the best vocal instructor in the
country, whereby he would no doubt
reach such heights of vocal greatness
as to forever make the name of the
clty OF Glendive much honored one
IN the history of the opera in this
country.
The people of this city and county
extend to Mr.. Melaney in this venture
their most sincere wishes for a great
career, and trust that in other things,
such as character and department
quite as much as in singing g-he will
prove himself a worthy son Of Glen
dive.

during that period.

during that period.
It has been heard said that the
present gas proposition is a "stall,"
the three-year clause being incorpor-
ated for the purpose of keeping off
any concern who may mean business.
We have made an effort to investigate
that charge but can find no evidence
to substantiate it, Attorney Desmond
J. O'Neil stating that the Miles City
outfit were SO anxious to know the
result of the election that they phon-
ed several times to him Saturday af-
ternoon and evening, wanting to know
the result.
Curiously enough, only one woman
voter appeared to take advantage of
their recently granted privilege of
the ballot. Mrs. Mary Minton, a resi-
dent of the South Side was the lone
woman voter, being also a property
owner and taxpayer.
No doubt there is lots of gas in the
vicinity of the oil we'll drilled by the
Reed Midwest people last year, the
eternal question being "Will we get
it?"
