BOHEMIAN STIRRED BY
GRAND JURY CHARGES
Malfeasance in Office-Detaiis on
Financial Records.

Bozeman.-The report of the pro-
ceedings of the grand jury, charging
that the county commissioners of Gal
latin county had wrongfully taken from
the county many thousands of dollars
in the form of illegal charges for serv-
ices and expenses, besides showing a
gross disregard for the forms of law
and an in~eXcusable carelessness in
handling the county business and coun-
ty funds, has caused a profound sensa-
ton. Many other charges almost as
serious against the commissioners and
against several other county officers
were also included in the report, which
contained a mass of details on the fl
nancial record of the county for the
past three years.
Charges of Malfeasance.
commissioners, accusations of NAL
feasance in office are brought against
Nelson Story, jr., and Chas. Callaghan.
The ground for these charges is that
Mr.. Story, as commissioner, was res
ponsible for the purchase of supplies
amounting to $2,167.13 from the Story
Motor Supply company in which he is
alleged to have an interest. Mr.. Cal
laghan is alleged to have been respon-
sible as commissioner for the pay
ment of rental amounting to $242 for
a house which he himself owned.
The chief abuses charged against
the commissioners were in connec'
ton with the administration of the
road work of the county.

sity until the final climax outdoes
all that has gone before. The sim
pie beginning catches the interest
of the spectators at once and with
each succeeding scene the play
gains stronger and stronger grip
until at the finish there is a thrill
of expectancy. That is fulfilled
with denouement that is uncon-
ventional, fresh and startling. So
the last blow is driven home hard.
The Vitagraph Company has
made the screen in this case a
very mirror held UP to the lives in
front of it. The drama is played
in the most natT"al manner, and
the characters are seemingly folk
we all know. Director Ralph Ince,
among the most artistice of the
Vitagrapher's producers, has used
his talents to the full in presenting
a smooth running story that
sweeps one on irresistibly with its
current. Not a single diversion
from the main theme occurs and
once the preliminary showing of
the business of the mother of the
play is over the action runs swift

Who is there who plays bridge,
which almost every Ollie does now

Of the two outstanding lessons of
the play? The playwright, Elaine
Sterne, has snatched story out
of the everyday lives of those who
see her work and has built up a
strong drama based on the steadily
Tightening grip that the gambling
fever obtains on one to whom a
little society card playing proves
fascinating. Only when the lives
of those the victim loves are
wrecked and her own is sacrificed
does the lust of the play lose its
hold.
The drama was submitted last
night for the first time to the pub
lie and to the writer's of the $500
plays over which it was the victor,
to justify itself and the judges
who gave it the Blue Ribbon in the
