feated by the Non-patisan league.
Mr.. Parker is receiving assurance not

treasurer on the Republican ticket, has

SURE CARE OF FAMILY IF
HE WANTS OUT

Howard Bullard, formerly of Ferdi-
nand, but later of Grangeville, was sent
to the county Jail Monday by Probate
Judge Campbell, for failure to support
his wife and family, pending such time
as Billiard may furnish bonds to the
board of county commissioners, in the
sum of $3.50, to assure the commission
ers that he will support his wife and
family for a period of at least six
months.
Billiard was sentenced to three
months in the county Jail, and sentence
was suspended, in case he could furnish
the bonds.
On complaint of residents of Ferdi-
nand, Bullard was arrested, and was
given hearing Monday in che probate
court. He conducted his own defense.
His wife. who is blind, testified at the
hearing. and was inclined to feel that
Billiard had supported her as best ne
could. However, there was much evil
dence to the contrary, and the court
decided to accept no promises from Bull
lard that he would care for his family,
short of a promise secured by bond
Mrs. Billiard has been supported by
her step-father, w. E. Goodall, man
20 years of age, who recently removed
with his family from Westlake to
Grangeville. Mr.. Goodall has found diff
fieulty in meeting the additional cost
of supporting his step-daughter, and has
been obliged to call upon his sons Tor
helm Meanwhile Billiard it it sald'
failed to aid in the support of his wife
and children.
Warrant for Billiards. arrest was Is
sued some time ago. He had gone TO
Oregon. and the warrant was not served
until last Saturday, when he was FOUND
in Grangeville.
