news of tre marriage of Miss Ger

of this city leaked out yesterday and
the couple are now receiving the

rator in the Reno Office of the Bell
Telephone Company to take up her
residence with her husband in this
city, she having arrived here Sunday
morning. The couple were married
at Reno some time ago, but resumed
their positions following the cere-
mony and no one was the wiser un-
til the secret was divulged last Satur-
day.

is employed in the local Bell Office as
repeater man. The bride has been
chief operator OF the Reno Office for

INLAY, Oct. 1S.-Imlay celebrated
Columbus Day by having a snow
storm, the first of the season for the
desert city, though the mountains in
the vicinity have had coating of
white many times already this year.
The snawfall the 18th was very
light, but on the 18th a peppery hail
storm took the town by surprise then
settled into steady downfall.
About two inches of snow fell within
two hours.
INLAY needs more dwellings. The
scarcity of houses in Inlay keeps
many married men who have families
from accepting positions here. Only
last week, F. II. Lam and wife ar
rived from San Francisco expecting
to make INLAY their home, as Mr..
Lam had been offered position as
car inspector here, but they could not
find shelter from the wintry winds,
SO proceeded to Ogden to find a po-
sition there.

that another through passenger
train each way, daily, will be put on
by the Southern Pacific Company

date, filed some time ago by County
Attorney Gunther in the district court
praying for an order requiring the
County Commissioners to file a state
ment showing what kind of a final
settlement they made last spring with
the Montana & Dakota Elevator Com
pany, was heard Wednesday afternoon
by Judge C. E. Conner and the writ
was by him denied.
County Attorney Gunther, assisted
by Attorney George Cudhie, appeared
for the taxpayers and Attorney
George Hurd of the law firm of Nor
ris & Hurd Of Great Falls, appeared
for the commissioners.
County Attorney Gunther by this
proceeding attempted to compel the
county commissioners to tell what
sort Of settlement had been made
with the Montana & Dakota Elevat-
or Company last spring, when Com
missioner Matkin & Weinrich, accom-
panied by Attorney Ellery and Ex-Au-
ditor James F. Redmond went to
Minneapolis and made a settlement
with the above elevator company and
which settlement has never been di-
Vulged and never entered into the
minutes of the board or filed in the
records Of Sheridan county, Montana.
The County Commissioners by reso-
luton authorized themselves to go to
Minneapolis and to take with them, J.
F. Redmond, to make this final set
tlement and when they returned
$4,000 was handed to the County
Treasurer by Commissioner Matkins

Majority Heed the Public Protest
|C0. AGENT ANDER.
SON CANNED AGAIN
County Commissioners Don't Want
Any Man That the Farmers Want
Won't Work With Portuguese, As
They Call Anderson.

The County Agent is canned again.
The County Commissioners won't
have him.
They told Mr.. Taylor of the Agri-
cultural Department., or College of
the state of Montana, that the next
man that came up to be county agent,
they wanted to talk to before they
hired him.
1t is reported that these birds who
happen now to be county commission
ers to the great misfortune of the
people and the everlasting disgrace of
the county, said that they did not
desire to nor would they associate
with Portuguese, which they called
Anderson.
1t is thought that what they want
as county agent is horse thief, or
a third story artist, or safe cracker,
or highwayman, or some one with
whom they can associate with con-
genially, who will not be likely to
spill the beans when some one steals
the poison oats.
However, the county commissioners
told the Farm Bureau Directors
where to head in at, and again can
ned County Agent Anderson.

The firm Of Babcock & Ellery ap-
pearcd ior Mr.. Dolin and County Az

Attorney Cudhie appeared for Mr..
Major. Arguments were made and
briefs submitted we understand. :;
If this case is won by Mr.. Dolin
it will mean that the county commits
sioners are law unto themselves and
that there is no department of gov1
ernment upon which there is check of.
any kind. The county commissioners
can then audit and allow their own

The OplniC:, of the Court as an
nounced today is considered one OF
the most moment Nls in the history of
the state. According to attorneys. il
forever establishes the fact that the
acts of the legislature are not supreme
to the wishes of the people.
At the last special session Of the
state legislature, called ostensibly for
the purpose OF affording relief ia
drouth-stricken farmersA the majority
of the legislature amended the state
primary law by requiring that every
voter should declare his party affilia-
tions when he enters the polls to vote,
and should be handed only one party
ballot, instead Of the system whereby
the party Affiliations of the voters
were secret.
1t early became evident that the
tampering with the primary law was
unpopular with the people Of the
state generally, and in order to pre-
vent the matter from being voted up
OH, the Legislature took advantage Of
the "emerg ancy" provisions and
amended the primary law on the
grounds that its passage was an ''em-
ergency" act, necessary for the i'm
mediate preservation of the public
peace and safety"
Thousands of petitions were pre-
sented to the secretary of state by the
voters demanding that the amended
law be held imperative until such
time as the people could have the op-
portunity of voting upon it. In an
effort to prevent these petitions from
being accepted and the matter refer
red to the people, the advocates of
the closed primary, through one Sam
Goodman, said to be business man
Of Helena, applied in District Judge
Poorman's court for an injunction re-
straining the secretary of state from
accepting the referendum petitions
and calling referendum election.
The decision of the supreme court
this morning reverses the decision of
Judge Poorman, who held for Good
man.
As the matters now stand there
will be no state primary election held
in April as would have been the case
had the supreme courts decision
been otherwise. There will, however,
be the regular presidential primary
election in April at which only presi-
dental electors and delegates to the
national party conventions will BE- ac-
cepted. The state primary viii, be
held in August, as usual.

STRONG DRAMA IS
 ATTRACTION TONIGHT

An entire change of program is booked for tonight only at the En- press, Elsie Ferguson, supported by Thomas Meighan in Heart of the Wilds," an Aircraft special production production directed by Marshal T. Nei- Ian, will be the feature presented
 The scenes are laid in the Canadian northwest, where the mountains touch the sky, and life is in the raw. Thomas Me1ghan fits ideally itno the character Of the famous Canadian mounted po- lice, and Elsie Ferguson is as beauti- ful in Natures setting, as when sur rounded by the splendors with which her productions are usually staged. The types are all we'll drawn and the fact that the picture is directed by Neilan guarantees it's perfection in every detail
 The plot is strong and the action swift, keeping interest we'll sustained. As a whole, it is a forceful drama of the great outdoors, magnificently handled. The program is completed by one of those two-reel Mack Sennett comedies that means a laugh a sec ond, and then some.
 Friday and Saturday night big Metro special in seven reels, "The Great Romance" with Harold Lock wood will be presented. This is the last picture produced by this popular young star, and, as is fitting, it is his masterpiece. In it he has the role of the fine, enthusiastic, typical young American, high minded and ambitious. He creates character in ''The Great Romance" that stands~as a monument to the memory of this we'll beloved artist, whose loss was mourned by all lovers of the silent drama
