League Organizer Arrested

A. L. Moore, a local Non-parti
san League organizer. was arrest
ed here last Saturday on a charge
of libel, upon complaint made by
Guy C. Stephens.
1t appears that Mr.. Moore had
been exhibiting a letter which he
claimed to have received from the
head office of the Non-partisar
League at Great Falls, which stat
ed that Mr.. Stevens had made
application for membership in the
league, but had been rejected on
account of not being illegible.
This letter had been shown to
several parties, we understand,
for the purpose of showing up
Mr.. Stephens, as Mr.. Stephens had
been opposed to the league.
When Stephens found out about
this letter being exhibited trying
to show that he had attempted to
join the league, he had Mr..
Moore arrested for libel, as he had
never made any effort whatever
to get into the league, and that
there was something wrong some
where.
The letter Mr.. Moore had exhib-
tied stated Mr.. Stevens, and not
Guy c. Stephens, evidently being
a typographical error, but Mr..
Moore stated at the hearing held
before Justice Lowell
that he was positive this was Guy
c. Stephens.
As the gentlemen could not
come to any settlement on the
matter, defendant was bound over
to the next term of district court.
Later it was agreed by other
members Of the league and Mr..
Stephens that they write to Great
Falls and find out if it was not a
typographical error, in their letter
to Mr.. Moore. However in order
to clear the matter up as quick as
possible, the league headquarters
was wired the first of the week
md answer came back that they
had no record there of Guy c.
Stephens ever trying to join the
eague.

Celebrate At
Circle July 4th

Remember next Thursday is
July 4th, the day of the big doings
at Circle. Although we will be
unable to publish a complete de-
tailed program of the days doings
we can assure you there will be
all kinds of sports and races, in
Guiding a ball game of fats VS..
leans or married and single.
There will also be fine band music
at intervals during the day. Cir
Gle has no real band since so many
of the boys are gone to the colors
but there are still a few left and
with the assistance of Murray
Dolphin, the Funk boys and the
Kirchner's, all old-timers at the
game, and the assistance of the
Indian orchestra from Poplar the
boys will be able to render some
real good selections, which it will
be worth coming a long ways to
hear Dwell it will help liven up
the days doings to a great extent
anyway.
It was hoped that by today we
could announce the speaker that
will be here the 4th, but we are
unable to as the committee has
found it hard job to get one.
However there will be one here
on the 4th and no doubt a good
one, to deliver the patriotic ad-
dress.
This year, above all other years,
we should all turn out to celebrate
the birthday of our republic, there
fore we will be looking for you ON
July 4th at Circle.
