JUNOD IS ELECTED
new COMMITTEEMAN
Republicans Gust o. H. p. Shelley and
Put in Leader of Senate Pend
ing Court Action

returned home Monday. Mr.. Orton
ison county was Thursday formally
elected republican national committee
man for Montana, subject to the ac-
tiOn pending against the state central
committee In the courts, by an al
most unanimous vote of the state
central committee at a meeting held
at II o'clock at the Placer hotel.
The only vote registered against
Senator Junod was that Of George P.
Jackson of Deer Lodge county. SEN
ator JunOd has been singally honored
of late, having been unanimously
elected president pro tenn of the
state senate this session. He is a
leading republican of the state, and
a successful and highly respected
businessman.
The nomination Of Senator Junod
for national committeeman, which was
carried by the unanimous vote of the
meeting, excepting that of Mr.. Jack
son, was made by Jerome G. Locke of
Livingston, in the following words:
Il nominate Senator 0. H. Junod
of Sheridan, Madison county, as re-
/ publican national committeeman for
Montana, subject to the action now
pending in court and the limitations
I placed upon Us by that action"
The democratic enemies of the re-
publican party will try to show that
the committee was not harmonious
in its counsels. However, they will
not be successful. At the meeting
Monday, at which Senator Junod was
designated as the choice Of the COM
mittae for national committeeman,
when the vote on going into executive
sessions was taken only six men talk
ed and voted against such actions.
These were DR.. Monohan of Silver
Bow and George P. Jackson of Deer
Lodge. The first lives at Butte and
the second at Anaconda. Then there
was Leo H. Faust of Lincoln county.
The next man who stood against
the executive session was w. J. Bren-
nan of Flathead county. Mr.. Bren-
nan lives in Flathead county and had
the proxy of George Stephens of
Choteau county. The fifth man was
another lobbyist for the three months
at the legislative session, H. R. Cul-
lom Of Sanders county. The sixth and
last was Wellington D. Rankin, at
torney general. He had the proxy OF
John E. Edwards of Rosebud county
The one notable point about this
matter is that the other members OF
the committee, obviously of the Opin-
ion that it would be wiser to keep
the affairs Of the republican party tC
themselves, rather than openly fur
nish propaganda for it's democratic
enemies.

CITY ELECTION TO
BE Held NEXT WEEK
Annual Election of City Officers
Find Old Mayor and Council Unit
ed in Stand for Manager Form
of Government

The annual city election at which
will be chosen a mayor, a city treasur-
er, police magistrate and an alderman
from each of the four wards of the
city will be held next Monday, April
4. At this election the question of
voting another mill for library pur-
poses will elso be decided. All cleo
tors residing in the city of Bozeman

brary matter only qualified electors
owning city property will be eligible
to vote.

previous city elections will be used
again Monday, the first ward voting
in the Bozeman hotel annex, the sec
Ond at the court house, the third at
the Kenyon-Noble Lumber company
offices and the fourth at the city hall.
The names of the judges and clerks
Of the election have already been pub
lished.
Owning to the fact that the present
city officials, including the mayor and
members of the city council, are sup
porting the city manager form Of
government, the mayor, city treasurer
and four retiring aldermen have con-
sented to run for reelection. These
men allowed their names to again be
used with the understanding that the
men boosting them for the positions
were to work for the city manager
form and with the belief that, owing
to their experience, they would be of
more use to the city than neW men
during what they expect to be but a
short tenure Of office.
The following are the present in
cumbents who are up for reelection;
Mayor-C. w. Sweet.
Treasurer-Frank Kyle.
Alderman, LIST. ward-Paul J. Dav.

Alderman, 3rd. ward-Amos Hall.

he will not run for police magistrate
and it is probable that E. A. Franks
recently appointed justice of the peace
for this township will be the onl!
candidate for the position. Nh

through the state of Montana, the

the cost of the special session.
eff the majority in the senate had
not insisted in writing in to the house

by an eminent Butte attorney, the rev.

would probably have been doubled.
Another thing, the fortunate dis
covery of the joker in the bill passed
at the regular session, making pipe
lines common carriers, which vetoed,
and the enactment at the special ses-
sion of a real common carrier law
for oil pipelines has saved the entire
oil development of the state from be-
ing left at the mercy of the subsidiary
companies of the Standard Oil.
THAT one thing justified and paid
the cost of the special session so times
over.
"The law passed at the special ses-
sion, making the Montana prohibition
laws concurrent with the federal Vol
stead act will do more to suppress
bootlegging in Montana than all the
laws heretofore placed on the statute
books of this state.
"The new appropriation for the tu-
berculosis sanitarium will enable the
authorities there to do much better
work in helping rid Montana of the
threatening white plague.
"The fact that the special session

CLUB MEMBERS HAVE
MADE GOOD IN WORK
Boys and Girls make Good Showing
in Annual Summary of AccOmp-
lishment

Boys and girls club work, under the
direction of the county club leader,
was originally designed to spur the
ambitions of rural children, stimulate
them to keep better livestock and fol-
low scientific methods in it's manage
ment and to promote thrift among
them. The work started here in Gal
latin some time ago under Ernest
Border and after Mr.. Border resign
ed, Ross Johnson kept the good work
going. There has been in increasing
interest shown by the youngsters and
the club fair, held last fall, was by
long odds the most successful ever
held in the county. The work for this
year will be started in the near future,
in fact the beginnings have been made
already and from the report Of Mr..
Johnson, more children will take part
IN it than ever before. Another good
feature of the work is that but few
OF those who have been members of
the club work drop out. 1t is inter-
esting to note the amount of livestock
and other valuables these yougsters
have accumulated.
A survey Of the achievements of
club members throughout Gallatin

The republican state central COM

Helena on Monday to elect a success
sOr for o. H. P. Shelley as republican
national committeeman for Montana,
in temporary injunction signed by
District Judge A. j. Hosky here Fri

This action came after a complaint

and John Adami of Helena as plain.
tiffs had been presented by c. A.
Spaulding, democratic county chair
man of Lewis and Clark county, and
Attorney General Wellington D. Ran
kin. John G. Brown of the firm of
Stewart and Brown who appeared
when informal complaints were pre-
sented Thursday afternoon and Fri

Constitutionality of the law, senate
bill A, under which the committee is

grounds. It is contended that the title

ROZEMAN LANDMARK
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Big Blaze Last Night Wipes Out
That Once Was Important Stop
ping Place

One of the most spectacular nlgnC
fires that has occurred in BOzeman IN
some time took place Wednesday
morning about 1:45 when the old Fer
guson hitch barn on the corner OF
Black and Mendenhall streets burned
to the ground. There are no indica-
tions of how the fire started and 1t
was not discovered until the building
and the 100 tons of hay stored therein
were all afire. A chance passer saw
the flames bursting through the roof
and turned in the alarm.
The fire department responded
quickly, but arrived too late to put out
the fire, so confined it's attentions to
saving the surrounding property
Fortunately a slight wind was blow
ing from the east and this drove the
sparks into the vacant lot that faced
the old barn. The hardest fight the
firemen had was to save the CONNER
cial hotel building, which is situated
a few feet south of the barn. The
Chinese laundry across Mendenhall
street also caught fire number OF
times but these temporary blazes
were quickly suppressed. The library
situated east of the barn, was at nc
time in danger.
There were stored in the barn some
100 tons of hay, Ford car and 6
number Of old wagon and buggies
The insurance on the building haC
been allowed to relapse, but fortu
nately some two weeks ago the build.
ing and its contents were insured
again. The insurance probably covers
half of the loss.

In a signed interview given out
Wednesday by Governor Joseph M.
Dixon, reviewing the work of the
special session Of legislature, the hope
is expressed by the executive that
every taxpayer in the state will taxi
the time to read the roll calls "and
see in what way the individual legis-
lator carried out his delegated author
ity from the people whom he tenn
porarily represented"
"The next thing one the program
is for them to see that a house and
senate are returned to Helena two
years hence that are sympathetic to
their interests"
Governor Dixon asserts that the
work OF the special session saved to
the people of the state many times
over the expenses of the II days ses-
sion, and says the elimination of the
"joker" in the oil pipe line bills has
saved the entire oil development from
being at the mercy of the larger con-
Germs and that this alone justified the
cost of the session 80 times over.
Among other measures reviewed by
the governor are the pipe line law,
amendment of the prohibition act to
conform with the Volstead act, distri-
button of oil royalties, acceptance by
state or federal aid for roads, the tax
commission, the oil tax bills and ad-
ditional appropriations for the tuber.
culosis sanitarium.
In reply to the question, "What has
the special session accomplished
Governor Dixon said:
Notwithstanding the united effort:
of some of the big daily newspapers
the special session has saved to the
people Of the state many times ovel
the expense of the II days session.
''In the first place. the passage o.
the inheritance tax law, emasculatet

senate, which substituted the New
York schedule as to collateral heir

new TICKET FILED
For CITY ELECTION
[~t
Parkin Heads Full City Ticket Run
ming in Opposition to Present
City Officers

Yesterday, shortly after the noon
hour, M. R. Wilson, ]. C. Mccarthy
and J. H. Reed appeared in the offices
Of the city clerk and filed the nomi-
mating petitions of a new set of candi-
dates for city offices at the Monday
election. The following are the new
candidates for municipal offices;
Mayor-E. J. Parkin.
Treasurer. S. Taylor.
Police Magistrate-E A. Franks.
Alderman, 1st. ward-W. E. Rider.
Alderman, End. ward-Frank NJ.
Gray.
Alderman, 5rd. ward-G. L. Martin.
Alderman, 4th. ward-J. E. Huff.
There are all sorts of rumors cur
rent on the streets as to the reasons
for the filing of this second ticket
in the city election. Foremost Of
these is the statement accredited to
many who interested themselves in
circulating the petitions that the new
ticket is opposed to the city manager
form of government. This statement
is denied by some Of those on the
ticket, including Mr.. Parkin himself,
who signed petition to have the
matter of the city manager put up for
vote and who says that he is not op-
posed to the change. interviewed by
the Courier Mr.. Parkin said, "Any
statement that 1 am opposed to the
city manager form or that will work
against it in the event of my election
is not correct. 1 signed the petition
to put it before the people of BOze-
man, for them to vote on the question
and will not work against it."
Another interesting phase that has
been introduced into the question is
the rumor current that this new tic
ket Is opposed to the extra mill tal
on the library. Mr. Parkin also de
MED this and said that so far as ht
knew the matter had not been men
toned.
There are still others who CLAIM
that the new ticket has been fostereC
by the contractors of the city who
dissatisfied because the present coun
Gil is not contracting any paving, de
sire a change of administration. Still
further rumors are to the fact tina
those opposing Sunday closing law
are back of the ticket.
One of those VINO took a prominen
part in the getting the ticket to

ENGLEHART WINS
In BOXING EVENT
Billings Man Wins Main Bout. Scot
" Macdonald Bests BOllin and
Amos Wins Also

Ed Englehart OF Billings, fighting
at 135 pounds, was the winner over
Vic Gracio of Spokane in the main
event of the first boxing bout staged
- Bozeman under the new law by the
Gallatin club. The entire fight pro-
gram was fully up to the expecta-
tions of the fans, even though the
attendance was not what the quality
of the exhibition merited. In the
semi-windup Kid Amos of Casper had
the best of Eddie Halfway of Cyen-
cnne in an eight round go. Scotty
Macdonald of Bozeman was a clean
cut winner in the second preliminary
and Billy Brown likewise captured
the first event on the card.
The main event gave the spectators
Is rounds Of good, fast boxing with
Englehart having the shade over his
opponent all the way through. Engle-
hart's right hand style of defense
proved a mystery to the Greek all the
way through the contest and his heady
work and evident ability to take
punishment won him a host of friends
in Bozeman. Gracio has a. damaging
left which he kept almost continual
ly in Englehart's face, but his blows
lacked the steam to carry real punish
ment. Gracio showed some extremely
clever footwork all through the bout
and was at adept at ducking vicious
swings, but he lacked the headwork
and steady punching of the Billings
man. Both boxers were willing mix
ers at ali times, there was no stalling
and the crowd was well pleased with
the clever exhibition. Throughout

fads to the limit, remarks the New

These six-day grinds drew great
crowds. Many persons virtually
lived the entire week In the foul at.
mosphere Of the dingy old building
and watched the men as they walked
or trotted their way YEARLY round
and round the area. Prize money was
big and the contests had an interna-
tional flavor, the English champion,
Charlie Rowell, being participant on
more than one occasion, and the win
ner Of one competition important from
prize money viewpoint.
"Lepper" Hughes and Paddy Ttx-
gerald Of Long Island City were In
varlably on hand when these so-cslled
endurance tests were decided, and each
had devoted following. Both were
tall and slim in build, while Rowel
was stocky, and had short quick
stride which rolled the miles behind
him in way which made It difficult
for his competitors to keep near him.
England has long been famous for the

Rowell was one of her very best.
