Of here on the Rio Grande, where it
is reported that 800 Mexicans and
Haqui Indians are approaching the
city from the south. Reports of the

according 70 Funston.
The presence of the Yaquis so near

the recent report that the governor of
Coahuila has sent band of indians
north to attack Del RIO. Apparently
the indians formed a junction with a
Mexican force and the two bodies are
marching under one command The

the two women fighting, Peterson sue

Bird and filed a complaint in the justice
court against Peterson for assault and
battery. Hincks followed two days
later and filed similar complaint
against Peterson. The cases were
set for Tuesday and number of wit

Judge Evans heard the testimony of

PROHIBITIONISTS DISGUSTED
WITH JUDGE UTTER

The fact that Judge Frank N. Utter
has taken a sudden turn in favor of
prohibition and the fact that he has
just recently appeared in several towns
in Sheridan county as a temperance
orator, has caused no little stir in
politics.
The bills announcing his speech for
Plentywood last Monday made an es-
pecial appeal to the women of the
community to be present and hear
what he had to say relative to the sa-
loon in connection with local politics.
Why he should call upon the women in
that intance for has caused more
quandry than anything else that has
ever occurred in local political circles,
because a large portion of his talk
dealt with men dead, and also a few
murder cases that have occurred in

JAMES OUT ON
$4,000 BAIL
Saco Shooting Serape Aired i'm
District Court.
PHILLIPS COUNTY CASE
After Hearing Evidence Saco Man il
Admitted to Bail. Arguments
Held Here.

Walter James, who was arrested at
Saco last Wednesday, by Sheriff Shaw
of Phillips County, charged with the
murder of "Curley" Hutton, was
brought to Glasgow Monday. James
was given a preliminary hearing at
Saco Saturday, and was bound over
to the District Court, without bail.
On writ of habeas corpus James
was brought here to appear before
Judge Utter to determine whether or
not bail should be allowed. County
Attorney Wolfe of Phillips County, at
the hearing held at one o'clock Mon
day, contended that the evidence was
sufficient to raise strong presump-
tion of James guilt, and that the
charge being murder and the presump-
tion Of guilt great, he should not be
admitted to bail. John l.. Slattery,
attorney for James, contended other
wise, and the court postponed the pro-
ceedings until that evening, in the
meantime sending for the stenograph-
er, who had taken the testimony. Up
on her arrival the hearing was re-
sumed and the testimony read. James
was admitted to bail in the sum of
$4,000, which was furnished.

time ago, after that deal of dismiss
ing the jurors so that he could distri-
butte his campaign literature at a far
mers' meeting, he began making
prohibition speeches, of which we
would have admired Mr.. Utter for if
he had done so before the campaign
period had set in. Why do you sup
pose Mr. Voter, he had neglected to
advocate this during the past three
years Of his term? Simply because
he was in favor of the saloon, or at
least he believed in buying drinks
while he was out canvassing, but since
then he has had falling out with
some of the saloon keepers in this
district and figures now that he needs
the vote of the Prohibitionists to
pull him through the primaries. 1t
is high time that the voters of this
district take notice of what is going
on in the county and cease to let some
of these office-seekers pull the wool
over their eyes so easily.-Frazer

Judge Beverley and Justice Evans
have had much of their courts time
occupied in dealing with this rather
lawless band of wanderers. Drunken
ness and disorderly conduct has been
the chief grievance, but a number of
rsbberies have been reported. John
Smith, now in the county Jail on a
charge of disturbing the peace, claims
that he was robbed of nine dollars and
watch near the west end viaduct.
Henry Hudson was brought before
Judge Evans Monday charged with
robbing Barney Mckay of S42 in the
west end Of town Saturday night.
There was not sufficient evidence to
warrant holding him however, and
Judge Evans gave him thirty minutes
to get out of town. Hudson had

Leaving seven children motherless,

Mrs. George Hibbcn committed sui

River near her home nine miles south
east of Glasgow, Monday afternoon.
George Hibben, her husband, is serv-
ing three year sentence in Deer
Lodge, for an offense committed near
Nashua last fall, and the support of
the family had fallen entirely upon
Mrs. Hibben. She had been having
considerable difficulty with a few head
of cattle which she had on her home
stead, and upon which she depended
for support. The day before they
had gotten away and broke into a
grain field of neighbor, who took
them up and held them for fifty dol
/ lars damages. In circumstances which
made the paying of the damage i'm
possible, Mrs. Hibben returned home
without the cattle. Saying that without
| the cows she would be unable to sup
port herself and children, ard that her
little seven months old baby was cry.

to give her, Mrs. Hibben told
her brot RI nj W, NJ c h e
Hibben, Monday morning, that she
was going to drown herself The
latter saw her going toward the river
early that afternoon, but suspected
nothing, not having taken her threat
to kill herself seriously. Investiga.
tions made by Hibben and the sher-
iff's office, when she did not come
home, showed footprints in the soft
mud leading down to small knoll
near the edge Of the water, and there
being no returning tracks it was evi

ROBBER CAUGHT
John Johnson Arrested Upon Release
From Wyoming Penitentiary.

John Johnson Arrested Upon Release
From Wyoming Penitentiary.
The arrest of John johnson Just as
he was being released from the Wy
oming State Penitentiary after hav-
ing served sentence of eighteen
months, brings to close the daring
Medicine Lake bank robbery of Febru-
ary, 1915. The robbery was commit
ted in broad daylight, about 9:3O a.
m. The two robbers, John johnson
and Magnus Hanson, both young men
we'll known in Medicine Lake, rode
up to the bank, strolled in, and when
Cashiers Faborg and Anderson open
ed the safe commanded them to hold
up their hands. The robbers collect
ed the money in a gunnysack, mount
ed their horses and started east. Mag
nus Hansen was shot from his horse
by the sheriff's posse that followed.
$1,25O of the stolen money was found
on him, and he was sentenced to serve
from three to ten years.
BY hard riding, and aided by friends
and foggy weather and his knowledge
of the country, johnson escaped his
pursuers. Travelling under the name
of Hoefner, Johnson made his way to
Terry, Montana, where he sold his
horse and saddle, bought a new out
fit of clothes and started for Denver,
Colorado. Neither the Pinkerton de-
tectives employed by the National
Surety Co., who were the real losers
of the $3.50, that Johnson got away
with, nor the sheriff's Office were able
to get any trace of him for a long
time. Johnson, who had again chang
ed his name, this time to Bill Hoffman,
had in the meantime been convicted
OF stealing live stock, and had been
sentenced to serve eighteen months in
the Wyoming state penitentiary. The
sheriff's office received information
that Bill Hoffman and johnson were
the same man. His arrest by Deputy
Sheriff Matthews of Sheridan County
followed.

a position and brand him in the eyes
of an honest public as unfair and un-

"We care not how Judge Utter may
stand on the "wet" or dry" question
In the campaign of 1912 he extended
the ,,lad hand to the endorsement of
the Liquor Dealers Association Of
Montana, and rode into office on it.
This time, up until about ten days
ago. the Judge has played both ends
to the middle; and now he has hopped
turtle and is trying to ride into office
on the prohibition band wagon. Utter
has on several different occasions as
serted and insinuated that a grand
jury should be called in the district.
Whose duty is it to call grand jury,
if not his? During the last ten days
many charges have been brought
against Judge Utter, which his back
ers have offered no denials of, they
have not even attempted to belittle
the cold facts as presented. Instead
of denials and explanations, all the
Utter element have put forth have
been cries of Liar! Liar!" and it is
to be regretted that man in the po-
sition of judge Of the district court

Nothing occurring in the degrad-
ing fight Judge Utter is making for
reelection has so aroused the indig-
nation of the people as the circulation
by him of cards bearing his picture
and the matter printed above.
Upon proper showing of compli
ance with the law any person is en-
titled to naturalization papers. Judge
Utter did not "give" anyone citizen
ship papers. The court in which he
presides has made orders admitting
various persons to citizenship. He
has attempted throughout the cam
paign to use the power Of his court
to gain the favor of voters and to
destroy opposition.
"Judge Utter who gave you your
citizenship papers asks your vote"
Did he make the order because he
expected you to vote for him? Was
he playing politics then? Does a
Judge who is paid $4,000 year and
travelling expenses do you a favor
when he decides matter in your fav-
or when you are entitled by law to
such DECISION?
All over the district naturalized citi-
zens resent this insult to their intelli-
gence. Such unseemly conduct Of a
judge merits the unlimited condemna-
ton which he is receiving. If elected
his "court will be conducted in the fu-
ture as it has been in the past" He
should not receive your vote.

Sheridan county. AS result MANY
OF the women who attended were dis
gusted with his talk.
Judge Utter has heretofore rather
been considered with the 'wet" ele-
ment. for when he was elected four
years ago he was then endorsed by
the state liquor dealers association.
His sudden outburst now in favor of
prohibition Immediately after the
county option petition had been de-
MED has led some to believe that he
is making a play for the temperance
vote, believing that he would carry
his former saloon support.
At Plentywood people are of the
opinion that Judge Utter's play is
purely political move, and consider
ing that true, great many people
have become greatly displeased, for
they are positively against anything
that would tend to pull the judiciary
into low grade politics.
Over in Valley county. the judges
home county, the feeling is running
high, according to the newspapers
over there, and it looks now as though
the voters of the district generally
were determined to elect a man for
the judgeship who keep sacred the
dignity of the position, and who will
give his people fair, just and impair
