GLASGOW, JORDAN and MILES CITY
INTERCHANGE WIRELESS GREETINGS
GLASGOWS WIRELESS STATION OPERATED
PED TO HANDLE COMMERCIAL MESSAGES TO MILES CITY
JORDAN-RATEs APPROVED COMMISSION.

Wireless communication between
Glasgow and Miles City and Jordan
has been fully established and is at
tracing considerable attention around
the state. The three stations clear or
operate four times each day at the
hours of and II in the morning and
3 and in the afternoon.
The local station was installed by
E. L. Wharton of the Glasgow Electric
Shop in the Orpheum building and is
being operated by himself. The reg
ulations surrounding the operation of
wireless stations which were imposed
by the national government as a war
time measure limit the sphere of op-
erations of private stations to a COM
paratively small radius. 1t is thought
that, when peace is definitely declared
these restrictive regulations will be
somewhat modified to enable the pri-
vate stations to communicate more
extensively.

The board of county commissioners
of Sheridan county at their meeting
held last Friday named Tuesday, May
18th, as the day on which the election
on the question of the creation of
Daniels county will be held.
Opposition on the part of the peo-
pie of Opheim and vicinity, led by
Attorney A. T. Vollum of Plentywood,
developed at the hearing. The pro-
tests and withdrawals presented to
the board for consideration were held
to be insufficient. The protestants
proposed to withdraw the fifteen VAL
ley county townships which were set
forth in the original petition to be
included in the new county.
It is understood that big mass
meeting was held in Opheim during
the past week to effect the creation of
Bench county out Of the north half
of Valley county and including the
fifteen townships sought by Daniels
county. A committee Of five headed
by Representative R. C. Arnold as
chairman, was appointed to take
charge of the matter. In addition to
this step to head off the creation of
Daniels county, it is thought that the
proponents of Bench county will short
ly initiate proceedings contemplated
to restrain the Sheridan county board
from submitting the question to the
electors at the election called for May
18th.
= The general opinion in Scobey is
that Daniels county will go over with
a big majority if the Opheim opposi-
tion is overcome and the election held
on the date set.

BLAINE TREASURER
WINS CONTEST CASE

F. NJ. Rolfe, county treasurer of
Blaine county, is affirmed in his po-
sition which he won in the decision
written by Justice w. L. Holloway,
in which other members of the su-
preme court concur. The decision
brings to close long contest for
the office, during which time Rolfe
was unable to collect his salary. Emil
]. Gervais, rival candidate for the
office, was the contestee. The court
affirmed the order off the district
court which denied Gervais a new
trial and affirmed Rolfe's cross ap-
peal.
The contest followed the election in
November, 1918. The canvassing
board gave Rolfe 662 votes and Ger
vais 661. Rolfe was given a certifi-
cate of election. Gervais contested
and brought suit, losing in the low
er court.

George S. Kraft of Th0eny Is
Arrested Charged With y
Grand Larceny. -
BOUND OVER TO DISTRICT COURT
Money Alleged to Have Been Remov-
ed by Defendant from Handbag
Left in Depot by Mrs. John
Iticiana.

NeOTSe .. hFdIC Oh 1NOelly WIS pld-
ced under arrest last Saturday charg-
ed with the theft of pocketbook
containing $145 in currency from Mrs.
John Iticiana of Glasgow.
According to the testimony at the
preliminary hearing before Judge
Hall, Mrs. Iticiana and Evelyn Nor
rison, in hurriedly boarding train No.
2, left the formers handbag on one
of the seats at the depot. The loss
was discovered Immediately after the
train had started and the ladies left
the train when it stopped at the wat
er tank, Immediately hurrying to the
Grossman garage where they called
Sheriff Powell, advising him of the
loss.
An investigation was Immediately
instituted by the sheriff's office and
it developed that at the time of the de-
parture Of the train there were only
three persons present in the depot, Bat
Parent, Josephine LaFournaise and
Geo. S. Kraft. Mr.. Parent informed
the sheriff that he had accompanied
Miss LaFournaise to the depot to check
her trunk. Upon their entrance he
saw Mrs. Iticiana and Miss Morrison
in company with Mr.. Iticiana and af-
ter they boarded the train he noticed
the handbag lying on the seat. In
the company of Miss LaFournaise, he
examined it, explaining at the time
that it belonged to Mrs. Iticiana or
Miss Morrison and that he would take
it to the Farmers & Stockgrowers'
bank. AS they were leaving to check
the lady's trunk, Mr.. Kraft stepped
into the depot. Upon their return
from the check room they proceeded to
where the handbag lay and examined
it again. They discovered that the
small pocketbook inside had been re-
moved and also that Mr.. Kraft had
disappeared.
About this time Undersheriff Teal
appeared on the scene to trace the
whereabouts of the handbag. Mr.. Par
rent told his story and the two of them
went in search Of Kraft, who was soon
located on the street. He was taken
to the sheriff's office and searched.
Two hundred and five dollars was
found on his person in loose currency.
Sheriff Powell felt that the fact of
his being in possession of that amount
of money was insufficient to charge
him with larceny so Mr.. Teal and Mr..
Baynham were sent to search his room
and trace his whereabouts that morn
ing.
1t was soon ascertained that Kraft
had been in Siert's pool hall and had
spent few minutes in the lavatory.
A search of the room revealed the
empty pocketbook of Mrs. Iticiana
lying on the floor where it had pre-
sumably been thrown after the money
was removed. AS Kraft was the only
person who had been in the lavatory
during the time the theft had occur
ed, the evidence was thought to be
sufficient to charge him with grand
larceny. A bench warrant was ac-
cordingly issued by Judge Hall and
the hearing held
AS result Of the evidence intro
duced at the hearing, Kraft was bound
over to the next session of district
court and bail placed at $1,000. The
bail was furnished Wednesday and the
defendant is now at liberty.
