Patriotic Rally
July 4th At Circle

Arrangements are now about
completed for the big patriotic
rally to be held at Circle on July
4th and promises to be worthy of
coming long ways to attend.
The committee in charge,
Messrs. Eastburn, Lowell and
O'Keefe have already raised a nice
sum of money which will be given
in prizes in the form of Thrift
stamps, and a good program of
sports and entertainment is being
arranged for.
A speaker has not been secured
yet, but an attempt is being made
to get man who is back from
France and can relate actual ex-
periences from the battle front.
By next week we will have a de-
tailed program, and in the mean
time tell all your friends of the
big rally at Circle July 4th.

Wilbur Ward Severely
Wounded In France

More and more, the horrors OF
the terrible war with the Huns, is
being brought home to US. This
week we hear that another Daw-
son county boy has been severely
wounded in action. 1t is Wilbur
Ward, son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. E.
Ward of Glendive and brother of
Chester Ward, formerly of Stony
Butte creek west of Circle.
The message that brought the
sad news was received last week
by the parents from Adjutant
General Mccain. 1t read: fDeeply
regret to inform you that it is
officially reported that Private
Wilbur Ward was severely wound
in action May 10th. Will report
further information received"

Yellowstone On Rampage

The extreme heat of the past
week raised havoc with the snow
in the mountains in the western
part of the state and as a conse-
quence the Yellowstone river has
gone on a rampage and reached
the highest point ever known.
Much damage is reported to have
been done by the high waters in
Billings and other towns along the
Yellowstone. Many people have
been compelled to leave their
homes on account of water flood
ing the lowlands. Considerable
damage has also been done to
irregated farms along the river.
At Glendive it was feared for a
while that the river would go over
the banks. The lowlands on the
south side were all under water
as far out as the bridge near the
Occident elevator, making it al
most impossible to get through
with autos.

Case Dismissed

Hearing in the case of State VS.
M. E. Howard and Dave William
son, of Duck creek, was held at
Glendive last Monday, and we un-
derstand the case was dismissed
for lack of sufficient evidence.
(Messrs. Howard and Williamson
were arranged on an alleged
charge of killing a steer not be-
longing to them, a hide claiming
to have been found on Howard's
place having Ted Artz's brand on.
However, the evidence presented
did not convince the Judge that
they were the guilty ones.

Farm Loan Appraiser Coming

The Circle Farm Loan Associ-
alton is doing quite a business this
spring, having something like IS
applications for federal loans to be

pralser is expected to arrive here

be but a short time till applicants
will receive their money. The
IS applications for loans total bet
ter than 100000.
The board of directors of the
Circle Farm Loan Association are:
A. F. Robinson, ]. w. Bickerstaff,
Dan McCugh, Fred Anderson, AL
bert Coffin and Adolph Anderson.
When these applications are filed

Wyman| |s0usted
From Office

Judge Stark of Livingston ha:
finally rendered decision in the
custer proceedings against R. l.
Wyman, present county clerk and
recorder, and the result was that
Mr.. Wyman has been put out OF
office. Word to this effect was
received in Glendive last Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Wyman also faces two other
charges, one being on sedition and
another for embezzlement, both of
which will come up at next term
of court.
A new successor to fill Mr..
Wyman's place will likely be ap-
pointed this week by the county
commissioners.
And listen here's a story about
this man Wyman that appeared in
last Wednesdays Billings Gazette
that might be of interest to many
here:
"R.L. Wyman, county clerk and
recorder of Dawson county, fell
into the police dragnet here Mon
day night, together with two
women and another man arrested
in a Montana avenue hotel on mis-
demeanor charges. In an effort
to conceal his identity, the Daw-
son county official requested that
he be booked on the police blotter
as John Doe, which was done.
Wyman put up a bond of SIS,
which was forfeited when the
Glendive celebrity failed to appear
in police court yesterday.
Wyman is under Indictment in
Glendive on a sedition charge, and
is now at liberty on bond pending
trial. Charges Of malfeasance. in
office also have been brought
against the Dawson county official,
local authorities are informed.
Wyman was apprehended in a
room with waitress in local
cafe, who gave her name as Mrs.
A. M. Jones. The Jones woman
also forfeited bond of SIS rather
face trial. The arrests were made
by Officers Jacobs and Shultz, z,who ,
also brought in a Mrs. Johnson
and John Erickson on similar
charges. Their bonds also were
forfeited"

Jack Hall up for Reelection
as Railroad Commissioner

]. H. Hall, state railroad commits
sioner, ,hasannounced his candidacy
to succeed himself on the demo-
cratic ticket. In announcing his

81, 1918. will accept the nomina-
tion and will not withdraw, and if
| am elected will qualify as such
officer. If | am nominated and
elected | will, during my term of
office, discharge my duties faith
fully"
Commenting upon Mr.. Halls
announcement of being a candi-
date for railroad commissioner,
the Great Falls Tribune has this
to say in part:
'Mr. Hall served one term under
Governor Norris as commissioner
of agriculture, labor and industry
and then was elected to the rail-
road commission.
An order was made by the COM
mission on motion of Commission
er McC Cormick, authorizing the ex-
penses of Mr.. Hall to Washington
as delegate from the American
Society of Equity to present to the
director general the matter of
grain movements from Montana
points via Puget Sound and Co
lumbia River gateway and the
Panama canal. A saving of six
cents bushel would be made by
Montana farmers.
Mr.. Hall initiated the PROPOSE
ion in a speech before the farm
rs convention at Great Falls in
February. 1t was endorsed there
md then coast commercial clubs
,ecame interested. Representa-
ives of the clubs confer at Great

Burnquist Wins
In Minnesota

Last Monday was primary elec.
ton day in Minnesota, and it prov.
ed to be one the biggest political
fights that has taken place fol
some time. Governor Burnquist
won out for governor over Lind
bergh, who was endorsed by the
Non-partisan League. According
to reports practically all of the
candidates endorsed by the League
lost out. The people in Minnesota
showed plainly that they did not
approve of the men that Townley
wished to see in power.
The Minneapolis Tribune of the
10Th has this to say in part:
Minnesota rebuked, in no un-
certain terms, A. c. Townley, boss
of the Nonpartisan league, by
giving Governor Burnquist a ma
jority of $4,000 votes in more than
two-thirds of the precints already
in.
Senator Knute Nelson, Mime
sofas grand old man, fought by
the Nonpartisan league, is renom-
mated over James A. Peterson by
a vote of more than four to one.
In Minneapolis, ]. E. Meyers.
drafted by the Republican confer
ence to run for mayor, leads the
other nominee, Thomas Van Lear,
by 1,200 votes.
Ernie" Lundeen, pacifist con-
indorsed by the Munich
pal Townleyites, is eliminated al
and Walter H. Newton,
oyalist, is the Republican nominee
or congress in the Fifth district"
