POLICE ARE PUZZLED
OVER EPILEPTIC CASE

ID. l.. Murray was taken to the police
station early yesterday morning suf-.
fering from an epileptic fit. At least,
such was the diagnosis of the case by
the doctor; the police were wholly at
a loss in determining under which
heading to put his case.
DIR. L. F. Conyngham, county physi-
clan, was called, but he stated that
he could do nothing without an order
from the county auditor. The things
that were said by the force at that
stage of the game might be character
lied as sharp and explosive. Still the
man suffered. DR.. r. G. Anderson was
then called and, although the case was
out of his jurisdiction as health Of
ficer, he attended and brought relief
to the sufferer. After the auditors
office was opened the order was pro-
cured and the county physician took
the case in charges Murray is now
recovering from the attack at st. Pat
rick's hospital.
The police are not blaming the
county physician, but are asking for
the privilege Of stretching the limita-
tions of the present regulations in case
of emergency.

YOUR STREET CAR lATE?'
Give Motorman Change, and
He'll Make Better Time,
Company Says.

| Have you had to wait for late street
cars recently?
II you have your pocketbook is to
| blame. says the Missoula Street Rail-
| way company. Missoula has too many
| dollars; that's why its street cars are
| sometimes behind schedule.
I'VE have to use five times as much
change now as we did year ago"
says Superintendent H. l. Bickenbach.
Five times as many people get on
the cars today without the proper
change as did a twelve month back.
Our motormen have to spend so mach
time making change when traffic is
a little heavier than usual that they
fall behind their schedules"
Whether the frequency of dollars is
the result of prosperity or carelessness,
Mr.. Bickenbach was not prepared to
say. He favored the carelessness the
DRY, however. There are several men
in a bank here who come right from
their desks, where nickels are piled in
bales. and give the motormen on their
street cars dollars to change"
Packages of 81 one-fare tickets may
be bought at a dollar each at the COM
pany offices. Mr.. Bickenbach says. I'VE
used to sell hundred a week." he
declares. Now we don't sell 20 a
month"
