Noel Burshia declared to the Stand

of his son and advanced several rea-
sons why he thought he was not
guilty. Joe would not comment on the

County Commissioners Find Them

sioners Kirchner and Bawden, and the
county clerk Dave, met bonding
house representative in Glendive but
nothing doing. He said they could
absolutely not buy them at this time
But the funniest part of all is that
they don't seem to know the reason
why. Commissioner Kirchner reports
that one reason given was that a
test case has been started In this
state, as to the legality of counties
bonding for seed, and are waiting for
decision from the supreme court in
the matter. And another reason is
that money is tight in, the east and
bonds cannot be disposed off. How
ever the bonding house took an option
Of 90 days in the matter of buying
the McCone county bonds, and If
things change soon, will possibly be
able to handle them yet. At least
here is hoping.
Roosevelt county bonded for some
thing like 100000 for seed, and they
are in the same position as they can't

refusing to fill the contract.
