BRAVES STORM

BURN FURNITURE FOR FUEL
Goes to Neighbors to Summon Aid
Flights His Way in a Blind
ing Blizzard.


with every piece Of furniture in the
claim shack chopped up to make fire
wood, with all the books, magazines
and newspapers burned to keep them
from freezing to death in the big biz
zard that ragged in the northern part
of the county for ten days, is the
experience of Ned Bohan, a home
steader living six miles east Of Glen
tana, who staggered through the
blizzard, with soft snow to his waist,
to the home of Frank hart, his near
est neighbor, and enlisted his aid in
bringing himself and family to Glen
tana.
Mr.. Bohan, his wife and two girls
moved out onto their homestead about
three weeks ago. They left their
horse in Glentana as they had no
barn on their claim. The weather was
fine at that time, so they laid in a
supply of Ignite only sufficient to
last them for couple of weeks, as
most of the farmers in the neighbor-
hood who have teams were busy haul
ing grain to market at that time.
Their food supply was also short, as
they never dreamed but what they
could come to town any day to re-
plenish the claim shack larder.
Shortly after moving onto their
homestead, the big blizzard, the worst
ever known in this part of the state,
was raging over the north country
and the mercury flirted around the SO
degree below zero mark day after
day. The trails were obliterated and
travelling almost impossible. It was
not long before their scant supply Of
Ignite coal was exhausted and it was
then that the furniture began to be
sacrificed, piece after piece. When
the furniture was all used up to ward
off Jack Frost, Bohan went out and
pulled up as much of the we'll curbing
as he could pry loose, and this fol-
lowed the furniture to keep the fam
lily faom freezing. Magazines and
newspapers came next and when the
supply of these was exhausted, Bo-
han took desperate chance in MAX
ing his way through the raging biz
zard, in snow up to his waist at
times, to the home of Mr.. Hart.
1t was a desperate chance to take,
but there was no alternative, and he
struck out across the prairies in the
binding blizzard, hoping to reach a
neighbor's and summon help. There
was no time during the trip that he
could see more than a rod distant and
he considers it miraculous in that he
at last succeeded in reaching the
home of Mr.. Hart. He had been
searching through the blizzard for
over five hours when he reached this
farmers place, and was almost COM
pletely exhausted.
The Bohan family are not the
worse TO rtheir experience and the
children did not even catch cold,
which goes to prove the hardness of
the Montana pioneer and of the chill
dren raised on the Montana prairies.

WOOLGROWERs OBJECT TO BILL

END OOJCCA ~ DILL
. The National Woolgrowers' associa-
tion is. opposed to the proposed 640-
acre homestead bill, stating that it
would bring spectators rather than
homeseekers unless the interior de-
partment should first carefully clas-
sify the lands and open only those
for entry upon which homesteaders
could make living by agriculture or
combined agriculture and stock rails
ing. Unless proper classification
should be made of the lands and indis-
criminate entry prevented millions of
sheep and cattle would be driven from
the ranges with consequent great cur
tailment in the production of beef,
mutton and wool.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-02-11

Discussion of the new 640-acre
homestead bill and its effects on the
public lands resulted in action being
taken to make it available to all per-
sons desiring to take land.
Other matters considered made the
meeting of the board interesting and
demonstrated the club will have plen-
ty Of work to take up during the en-

THOMPSON ASKS
BALLOT RECOUNT
CANDIDATE FOR DISTRICT AT
TORNEY FILES COMPLAINTIN
CONTEST PROCEEDINGS

J. G.. Thompson has filed in the
district court his complaint in a con-
test proceeding against Roger Foiey'
as contestee, for the office OF dis
trict attorney. The vote as
eded after the official canvass show
ed 1883 for Thompson and 11lO Tor
Foley, a difference of ~ votes In
favor of the latter.
The contestant states in his COM
plant hat Upon his information ana
belief "a large number of illegal
votes were given, cast n can
vassed'' to the contestee, which IL
taken from the total number OF
votes counted in his favor would re-
duce the number of legal votes be-
low the number received by the con-
testant. The total number of lille
gal votes improperly counted for the
contestee was set out in the COM
plant at 169.
Mr.. Thompson stated to the Trib-
n today, in discussing the con-
test, that his principal object IN
bringing the proceeding is to correct
any errors that may have occurred
in counting the ballots. II do not
wish to defeat the choice made by
the people at the polls" said Mr..
Thompson, land only wish to verify
the accuracy or establish the a
curacy of the returns as officially
recorded"
Mr.. Thompson stated further that
while his complaint might upon its
face seem a little harsh, yet it fol-
lowed the statute as to the form OF
his allegations and he did not want
to, be understood as making accusa-
tons of direct fraud.
The proceeding is brought under
the provision of sections 116 to 123
of the act of March 20, 1915, which
authorizes any elector to contest an
election on account of fraud or irreg-
uiarities in the returns. The pro-
ceeding is brought in the district
court upon the statement of the con-
testant. 1t is made the duty of the
Judge to fix the time and place 20
hear and determine the contest. The
court has power to issue attach
ments, to compel the attendance of
witnesses and upOn receipt OF a
certified copy of the judgment of the
court, the clerk of the board of
commissioners shall issue a certifi-
cate of election to the person declar-
ed to be entitled to it. The district
court has original Jurisdiction and
may by mandamus or otherwise OBJ
tain all documentary evidence re-
CURED by either of the parties to the
contest.
1t doesn't follow that the entire
vote shall be r%ecounted. TIE con-
testant may ask for recoun in any
or all of the precincts in which he
alleges fraud or error, bat the or
testee enjoys the same right as to any

DISTRICT
HAS ACTIVE MINES

M. p. Murphy, who has extensive
mining interests in the Eureka dis
trict. was a visitor in Reno this
morning.
In speaking of Eureka Mr.. Muir
ply says: 1.-The camp is ~livelier now
than it has been in years a
large amount of development YORK
is being prosecuted. All the claims
OH which this is being done are
shipping ore to Salt Lake The
camp now has a mining bureau and
is obtaining considerable publicity
in the east.
Maj. G. A. Catlin, representing
a New York syndicate" says Mr..
Murphy, lis largely responsible for
the revival of the old camp. He
has erected a large hosting plant
on his holdings and is sinking a
double compartment shaft to de-
velop a large area of territory on
which he has an option and which
&c years ago was a big producer.
1.-The California and adjoining
properties, which have been idle for
a number of years, are producing
a large tonnage of excellent grade
ore. Everybody in the district is
anxiously awaiting the opening up
of the big properties owned by the
United States Smelling company
which were closed down when the
railroad was washed out in 1910.
"Since the road vas rebuilt
says Murphy. there has been a
fight on between the big companies
and the railroad yer the freight
rates. There is no question but
what Eureka would be one of the
best camps in the state if the diff
ferences between the railroad and
the United States company could
be adjusted. At present a power
plant is one of the improvements
contemplated as is also a custom
mill ."-Gazette.

WHAT is A WIFE?

A wife is an eX-girl who has re-
capture of a man, and who has set
tied down to show him that the wo-
mems clubs, pink teas and gowns
are absolute necessities, while three
square meals are anything but that.
When a wife takes a man to raise
he soon learns that she is his mas
ter. She doesn't tell him so; he
just mysteriously absorbs the infOr-
nation, and the older he grows the
more the fact root itself in his
mind. Almost any man is brave
enough to go to war; he will fight a
man twice his size, but a mere look
from his wife will wilt him like let
tuce leaves or a hot stove. No one
knows why. Wives are peculiar ami
mails in a way that those belonging

a man feels it is a terrible task to
support n he would have a dozen

that a man once took his newborn
son to an island and reared him to
manhood without the child ever
seeing a woman.
When FL years old, the father
brought the son back to civilization.
Passing a woman the child asked:
Father, what is that thing"
Il don't know" answered the
father.
We'll, I want one, anyway" de-
clared the young man.-Exchanpe
