interviewed early in the evening, that
John R. Jenkins came into the place
and accused L. B. Dance, who was sit
ting on one end of the settee near
the door, of packing gun. Dance de-
MED the allegation, and fist fight
followed. Before bystanders could in
terfere Jenkins pulled his gun, and
it is also alleged Dance made move
ment toward his hip pocket. Jenkins
fired five shots from .32 calibre re-
volver which he carried, three of which
lodged in the body of Dance.
Just at this time man named
Stacey, who stated that at one time
he was on the police force of Havre,
interfered, as he thought Dance, who
had by this time fallen to his knees
from the effects of his wounds, was
trying to shoot jenkins.
Jenkins then went through the side
entrance into the Hotel Havre and
from there to the street. Later he
met Officer Sunday and gave himself
up. The officer took the man into
custody and put him in the city Jail,
but he was afterwards removed to
the county Jail.
Friends of Dance picked him up and
carried him to the office of DR.. Will
liams, where he was given first aid
and then taken in an automobile to
the Sacred Heart hospital, where Drs.
Williams and Hussar Immediately pro-
ceeded to perform an operation in an
effort to locate the bullets. At mid
night the hospital authorities reported
that the man had just come from un-
der the influence of the anesthetic and
was trying to talk.
The shooting is no doubt the result
of case that was tried before Judge
W. B. Rhoades of the district court
this morning, but which now may
never come to trial. In this case Dance
was the defendant and Jenkins, who is
a painter by trade, was the plaintiff
The charge was that Dance had ali
enated the affections Of the wife of
Jenkins, and the latter was suing
Dance, who is well-to-do citizen of
Simpson, for the sum of one hundred
thousand dollars. Bad blood has ex-
listed between the two men for some
time, and it is alleged that the affair
last night was the outcome of the fill
ing of the suit.

HOTEL IN HAVRE SCENE
OF SHOOTING SCRAPE

Havre, Mont, Nov. 15.-While the
good people of Havre were taking
their evening meal about $3.50 last
evening, an exciting shooting affair
was pulled off in the pool room and
soft drink parlor of the Havre hotel,
in the heart of the down town district
on First street.
When the first shot was fired peo-
pie ran from the neighboring cafes
and pool rooms to the scene, although
at the time the shooting occurred
there were only few people in the
hotel and its annex. It seems from
what could be learned from John R.
Shockney, the bartender, who was on
duty, and other witnesses who were

der the laws of the state Of Montana.
Mr.. Gerth stated to the court that
he was willing to submit the matter
on the statuts it then had, without ar
gument, the only evidence in the case
being the acts of the defendants and
if they were sufficient to constitute
conspiracy, of course, the case would
have to go to the jury, the only ques-
tion being whether or not the evidence
was sufficient. The court thereupon
sustained the motion, stating that in
his opinion the evidence had not gone
far enough to show the existence of
conspiracy among the four defend
ants. The defendants were discharged
and their bail exonerated.
The case of the state VS.. Peter A.
West, c. H. Pippin and Carl j. An
derson was called at p. m. November
18th. This is a case in which the
grand jury returned an accusation
against the above named defendants,
and this is proceeding to oust them
from the office Of county commission
ers. The state is represented by Otto
F. Gerth, assistant attorney general,
and C. D. Borton, and the defendants
are represented by Messrs Norris,
Hurd & Mcclellan and A. O. Hallett of
this city.
A jury has been impaneled and
up to the time of going to press the
state had not concluded it's evidence.
It is likely that the case will consume
several days. Following is the jury
sitting in the case:
Geo. w. McGlenn, Oswego.
Andre Anderson, Saco.
j. E. Carney, Coal Creek.
Severt Sherrey, Tande.
Albert Braatz, 'Glentana.
Claude Larkin, Hinsdale.
Axel Peterson, Grain.
Robert Whitehead, Glasgow.
D. l.. Blankenship, Hinsdale.
Leslie Fry, Hinsdale.
Chas. Rhodes, Barnard.
F. E. Bunce, Baylor.
All jurymen not engaged in the trial
of the county commissioners have been
dismissed for the term.

SOLDIER ROBBED.

Leonard Storm, who has farm
Is miles north of town, discovered last
Friday that some 10 bushels of flax
which he had left in granary on his
place, had been stolen.
According to the testimony of his
neighbors out there, wagon was seen
loading up at his granary on Monday,
the 9th of October. No special at
tention was paid to it, as they thought
it was someone sent out by Storm.
1t was not until last Friday that he
got word of this, and it became evil
dent that he had been robbed. Neigh
bors living nearby were able to give
him some information as to the team,
wagon, direction taken, etc., that may
possibly lead to discovering the guilty
party.
The worst part of the whole affair
is that this flax crop was put up for
Storm by his friends in Brockton and
the north country last spring, when
he was discharged from the army and
unable to work on account of wounds
received on the fighting line in France.
Stealing flax is bad enough in any
case, but to rob an ex-soldier under
those circumstances puts the sneaking
crook who did it outside the pale Of
human sympathy. The penitentiary is
too good for him; there are hundreds
of decent criminals who would be con-
taminated by his presence.-Brocto

POST DATED CHECKS
REPUDlATED BY MAKERS
Payment Stopped on Fifty and Eighty
Per Cent by the Makers
of the Checks.

The worthliness of post-dated checks
given for future collection as payment
for membership in the Nonpartisan
league by residents of eastern Mon
tana in the country tributary to Miles
City banks was amply demonstrated
last week. Of considerable number
of checks sent from Fargo to Miles
City for collection bankers say between
SO and 80 per cent were repudiated by
the Makers who had stopped collec-
tion thereon, and the checks were re-
turned to the banks at Fargo whence
they came.
The checks for $500 or $1,000, either
for partial payment or full payment
of membership in the league, and al
though the nonpartisan supreme court
of North Dakota by vote of three
to two decided they were good as COL
lateral, the judgment of the eastern
financiers who declined to accept
North Dakota bonds backed by such
security seems to have been amply
justified if the general run of these
checks throughout the nonpartisan
territory are as valuable as they have
proven in this locality.
J.E. Hult of Great Falls, state man.
ager of the Mutual Oil company, spent
day in the city this week visiting
the local manager, John Bulman. Mr..
Hult advises that the company will
install some new stations along the
main line the coming season, among
them one at Malta and one at Nashua.
He expressed himself as very much
pleased with the prospects in north
eastern Montana for the coming year
and predicted that 1920 would be one
of the biggest business seasons Mon
tana has ever experienced.

BASKET BALL GAMES
WEDNESDAY, NOV. rs
First Games of Season Scheduled for
Next Week Between Local
Teams.

The first of the seasons basketball
games will be played on Wednesday
evening. The games will be class
championship games. The freshmen
boys will play the sophomore boys and
the junior boys will play the senior
boys.
The lineup of the freshman team
will be, Baer, Wedum, Parsons, Friedl,
Rankin, Kampfer. The sophomore team
will be Sprague, Baker, Twitchell,
Huston, Boyles, Sherman. The junior
team will be Wedum, Magruder, Grain,
Tieden, Bradley. The senior team will
be composed of Baer, Holland, Red
field, Kent, johnson. These prelim-
mary games are being worked up in
order to develop new material for the
basketball squad. The team this year
will be composed very largely of new
men as the boys constituting the form
er first team have been graduated.
More attention will be given this year
to giving all the boys of the high
school athletic training and the first
squad will be given certain nights for
practice and the balance of the time
will be given to the boys who need ath-
letic development more than the first
squad.
The admission price of this double
header game will be 35c. These games
should be Of more interest to school
patrons than games with other schools
because every player is a local boy.
AS the boys must make good showing
in these games to win a place on the
first squad, parents should be- at the
game to see what kind of players their
boys are. The first game will be
called promptly at 8 o'clock.

THRESHERMEN'S MEETING.

y
The Brotherhood of Threshermen of
Valley county held their annual meet
ing November 14th, with fair at
tendance.
The president and secretary were alb
sent. Several new members were ta-
ken into the association. The treas
urer, Nels Cotton, gave a report, as
we'll as the acting secretary.
Several topics, such as roads,
bridges, supplies, repairs and state
federation of threshermen's associa-
tions were discussed at length. The
association voted to hold another
threshermen's school the latter part
of June, 1920.
The meeting adjourned after about
two hour session, determined that
the association was working on the
right principles and that every thresh-
erman in the county should be men,
ber and add his support to this, his as
sociation. M. E. STEBBINS,

LOSES HOGS IN RIVER.

Charles Twitchell had the misfor-
tune recently to lose % hogs by
drowning in the Milk river. Mr..
Twitchell was away from home at the
time but it is thought the hogs went to
the usual watering place for water and
as the river was frozen over a little,
ventured out too far upon the ice,
which had given way beneath their
weight. This is great loss for the
owner as the hogs were fat and ready
to market, and were worth between
seven and eight hundred dollars.

COAL SHORTAGE
STILL CRITICAL
Many Glasgow People Entirely
Out, With Practically No Re-
lief in Sight.
MONTANA MINES STILL IDLE
Mines Remain Idle Despite Agreement
to Resume observation-disclosures
Mines Handicapped by Wealth
err Conditions.

The coal shortage situation through
out this section promises to become
more critical than it has been at any
time yet. All Glasgow dealers are en-
tirely out of coal and have very little
definite prospect Of securing any for
some time. A telephone call to Cul-
bertson yesterday for carload Of
Ignite coal brought the information
that the mines there We're unable to
ship at the present time on account
of the road conditions. The warm
weather of the past week has put the
roads in an impossible condition for
the hauling of heavy loads of coal,
and the Culbertson mines are situated
some distance from the railroad. The
same condition prevails at Fairview.
Despite the agreement to resume
work at once, Signed in Washington
by District President Henry Drenan
and representatives of the Montana
Coal Operators Association, there is
little prospect OF renewal of activity
in Montana coal mines until definite
terms of settlement in the central COM
petitive field, on which the Montana
settlement is based, are made known.
This became apparent with announce
ment that miners unions in the Car
bon field had voted to disregard in
structions to return from their chief
and with the prediction Of district Sec
retary, Condor, that the other locals
of the state voting would register
like decisions.

Big FARM BUREAU
MEETING HERE MONDAY
Well known Speakers Will Be Here
Will Be Here, Including Uncle
Sam Hampton.

The big farm bureau day for the
year 1919 is Monday, November Oath
We feel that the farm bureau should
celebrate this day as Thanksgiving
day due to the fact that we believe
that the farm bureau organization has
been success and the results attained
through the young farm bureau or
ganization have amply justified the
hopes and claims of it's advocates.
Our membership numbers eleven
hundred members with two hundred
twenty women members and consists
of the most successful, wide-awake
farm men and women in the county.
The program, consisting of both To-
cal and foreign talent, promises to be
very interesting. Any program with
Uncle Sam Hampton, "The Farm Bur-
eau orator." on is worth any farm
bureau members time to attend, and
we hope that all who possibly can
attend, will do so. The meeting will
be held in the Odd Fellows hall and
will start with lunch at 1890 p. m.
Everybody brings something to go
with hot coffee. This followed by a
series of talks by home talent and
other folks.

the whole country is discarding its
winter clothing, much of which will
never again be donned by its owners
Thus, at minimum of sacrifice the

In most substantial manner their
