Commissioners Nelson Story Jr.,
C. w. Overstreet and Charles Gala
CHAN of Gallatin county were Satur-
day removed from office by order of
Judge r. Lee Word Of Helena, who
conducted the hearing in Bozeman
instituted by the county grand jury
Aug. 81. The charge against the
commissioners is technical one, in
that they violated a statute law in
receiving per diem salaries for work
of supervising and directing road con-
struction work not mentioned in the
statute. The order of the court COM
mands the good faith" and honesty
of purpose of the mon and states that
"the county and its inhabitants have
benefited by the efforts Of the defend
ants" but "as a reward for their
mistaken zeal, they lose not only
the compensation received by them
for the work performed outside the
letter of the statute, but also their
offices as county commissioners"
