GRAND JURY CHALLENGED
s. BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
CONTEN4 20 THAT INSUFFICIENT NAMES HAD
BEEN r CED ON THE JURY LIST; CHAL-
LENGf, GRANTED BY JUDGE HURLY.

The grand jury that was drawn a
few weeks ago reported for duty in
the court room Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock.
After the court was called to or
der and the clerk had called the roll
of the jurors subpoened and they had
taken their seats, Attorney General
Fond arose and asked leave of the
court to file challenge of the jury
for three reasons; first, that the
names were not drawn according to
law; second, that some names had
been omitted from the jury list that
should not have been, and third, that
the jury commission knew that those
omitted from the list were competent
to act as jurors.
Clerk Of the District Court Cutting
was the first witness called and
identified several jury lists that had
been on file in his office.
]. w. Barr, clerk in the county
treasurer's office, was the next called
and identified the assessment books
that the jury lists were taken from.
Peter A. West, chairman of the
jury commission, was then called and
testified that the commission placed
all names on the jury list that they
thought to be competent to act as
jurors but stated that some names
that should have been on the list might
have been unintentionally omitted.
T. M. Patten, another member of
the jury commission, was the next
witness called and contended that all
competent persons had been placed on
the jury list. Attorney General Ford
asked Patten if the commission con-
sidered man incompetent to serve
as a juror because he was radical.
The answer was, "No." The attorney
general then asked him if any per-
sons had been left off the list because
they were members of the Nonparti-
san league and the answer was that
LAC SuDJSCC VI uIdl pOlIClCdl UC-
liefs was not discussed by the COM
mission. County Assessor Gamas
was the next witness and testified that
no competent persons were left off
the list to his knowledge.
J. w. Barr was then recalled, and
stated that it was his belief that some
names could be added to the list.
At the conclusion of the testimony
of Mr.. Barr, the attorney general
closed his case and in his argument
stated that while he was Of the firm
belief that the commission acted in
good faith in selecting the jury list,
he was of the opinion that the size
of the list might be somewhat in
creased and asked that the court grant
his challenge.
Judge Hurry then granted the chal-
lenge and dismissed the jury, and lat
er issued an order commanding the
jury commission to meet in special
session not later than June 5th for
the purpose of adding additional
names to the present jury list of
those persons qualified.

MORE STRIKES SEEN
IN WESTERN CANADA

Winnipeg, May 26.-When settle
ment of the Winnipeg strike was to-
day reduced from probability to a
possibility, Mayor Gray announced to
the Associated Press that the NUM-
cipal government is making arrange
ments for vigorous resumption of mu-
nicipal utilities and public conveyan-
ces.
A large majority of the Winnepeg
postal workers rejected the ultima
tum of Gideon Robertson, federal

work by noon today or stand dismis-
sed from the government service.

The other note which related TO Ger
man property in allied countries de-
clared that the action of the allied
governments in deciding upon the fate
of the property could not be accepted.
The credentials of the Austrian
peace delegation at St. Germaine have
been approved by the credentials COM
mission of the peace conference and
the Austrian delegates have sent their
first note to the allied and associated
powers. The note has to do with Car
inthian affairs.
General Count Max Montgelas, one
of the members of the German peace
mission, who had intended to go to
Berlin with Prof. Weber and Herr
DIETRICH, other delegates, who left
last night, postponed his departure
at the last moment. After seeing his
colleagues off at the depot here he
returned to Versailles in an automo-
bile.
Huns Sent Three More Notes.
The German peace delegation today
sent three new notes respectively
with reparations and responsibility,
German property in allied countries,
and German religious mission abroad.
1t is probable that the presentation
of the peace terms to the Austrian
delegation will be delayed until next
week, according to Reuters Limited.
Delays in completing the drafts of
certain sections are said to be respon-
sible.

ments charging conspiracy to violate

Wolf POINT STORE
VISITED BY BURGLARS
Diamonds and Watches Valued at
Over $500 Stolen from Hux-
OILS Store.

The first big job of store robbery in
the history of the town was pulled off
last Sunday night after the hour of
midnight when the Huxsol drug and
jewelry store was entered and dia-
monds, watches and jewelry of an es-
timated value of between $500 and
$4,000 We're stolen.
Entrance was gained by forcing a
window at the rear of the store. Some
of the tools used by the yeggs were
left scattered about. The back door
through which the person or persons
doing the job made their escape, was
left open.
The job was comparatively easy and
did not require the skill of profess
sional as the goods taken were dis
played in the cases and show window
there not being room in the store safe
for the large stock. The greater part
of the value of the "swag" was in
diamond rings and high grade watches.
But in their haste the thieves grabbed
a number of low priced watches along
with the good ones.
The store safe contained upward of
S4OO and was not locked but was un-
disturbed by the robbers. Mr.. Hulk
sol was in the store until midnight
Sunday night which makes it certain
that the theft was an early morning
affair.
So far there are no tangible clues
to the guilty parties but sharp look
out is being kept by the officers along

 The problem in France is not only the low birth rate. but the dreadful infant mortality.

 To equip a schoolhouse with suffi- cient- books for the winters work $50 is sufficient To completely equip the schoolhouse with benches and desks, maps. blackboards. stationery, etc, $500 is needed.
 Besides the schools carried on under government supervision there are now established in some villages kindergarten work, domestic science work and manual training. Any don ations marked for education will be turned into this fund to bring back to normal mentality the children who have run wild and neglected since be- fore the war.
