LEGAL FIGHT
OVER A TRACTOR
TETON COUNTY FARMERS WIN
AFTER INVOLVED CASE GOES
TO SUPREME COURT
Buy Engine and Default in Pay
ments; Lose Possession When the
Sheriff Seizes 1t; Later Sold for
Taxes and Original Purchasers Bid
1t In.

Arthur Freebury, Harry Freebury
and others engaged in farming near
Conrad, have a valid claim to a trac-
tor engine which they have owned
twice and which the selling concern,
the AVerill Machinery company, once
took away and bought in at a fore
closure sale. A decision by the SUI
preme court by Judge w. H. Poor
man, chief commissioner, sustains
the lower court in an appeal from
Cascade county, in which judgment
was for the farmers, the defendants.
The farmers bought the engine and
oefaulting in some of the payments,
the company, which held a mortgage
on the engine, took it away and when
it was offered at the sheriff's sale
bid it in. Later the concern aban-
doned the machine, it appears, and
the county assessor assessed it to an
unknown person." The result was
that the engine was sold for taxes,
the original purchasers buying it.
Then the company began suit to
recover the tractor. The supreme
court holds that the plaintiff having
prior title in the engine
have to give way to the tax title, as
The plaintiff neglected to notify the
assessor of its claim to the property.

HALF CENTURY AS MONTANA MERCHANT;
MAJOR WALLACE TELLS OF PIONEER TRADE

%portunity made Seth United States
marshal for South Dakota.
Wallace was but seven years of
age when he came to the United
States with his parents. His father,
John Wallace, was a physician, and
practiced in Detroit for a number
of years. When the civil war broke
out. Wallace had reached young
manhood, having been born in 1887,
and he enlisted for a term of three
months in the First Michigan vol
unteer infantry. At the end of his
term of enlistment he returned to
Detroit, but when the call came in
1852 he again enlisted, this time in
the Fifth Michigan cavalry, in which
he served until the close of the war.
He participated in many of the bat
ties of the Army of the Potomac and
in the spring of 1863 in a skirmish
known as Hawkhurst Mills, he was
taken prisoner but was exchanged
during the summer and rejoined his
regiment. He entered the ranks as
a private and vas repeatedly pro-
NOTED, coming out of the army with
a majors commission.
When Helena was Incorporated,
Wallace was made the first city
treasurer and in 1883 he was elect
ed to the territorial legislature. He
was also an alderman for several
years but finally resigned. The firm
of R. c. Wallace e Co. is today con-
Quoted by the son of the founder,
David R. Wallace, who, with Miss
Margaret Wallace, constitute the
family of this pioneer merchant and
soldier.

marked with blood when he dropped
it at sunset. That winter Majol
Wallace worked for his board anC
keep" for a rancher, taking care o.
stock, hauling wood from the hills
and being general handy man about
the place.
When spring opened in 1876
Wallace made a bargain with the
rancher to furnish the team and the
land, while he was to do the work
and put in a crop of potatoes and
small vegetables to sell to the min
ing camp. He brought vegetables to
the camp every morning by daylight
and before noon was out working
in the field again. When the potato
crop was dug, he owned half of it
and with his savings had $3.50.
Winnings at the Ranch
But the profits were not all young
Wallace made at that ranch in the
Prickly Pear valley, A cousin of the
owner, Miss Ellen M. Shaw, taught
school in Helena and lived at the
ranch. She became acquainted with
the industrious young man, and she,
too, was from Michigan. Before re-
turning to the east to complete her
studies or teach school there, she and
Wallace agreed to wed when he had
acquired the means to erect a cabin
Of his own in the gulch.
Four years later Miss Shaw was
a passenger on the old steamer, Mel
lie Peck, and landed at Fort Benton
in 1875. Wallace met her there.
There was no one in Fort Benton to
perform a marriage ceremony except
a Justice of the peace who ran a
butcher shop. The wedding took
place and the certificate was written
out by the butcher on a piece of paper
which Mrs. Wallace often la%ughingly
referred to as Our Butcher BILL
She died in 1890, !
How did Major Wallace get into
the grocery business?
Just like countless thousands of
other young men have started in one
line or business or another, by be-
coming the last one on the pay roll
of some firm or business man. In
the fall of 1870, with his $3.50 care
fully put away, he got a job with
Hoyt & Deal, driving their grocery
wagon.
Business For Himself
But he was looking around for a
place to invest his money, now
grown to 1925. There was an old
man who kept a little fruit and
grocery store in the old 'Dunphy &
Bentley" block, who was anxious to
sell out and leave the country. He
occupied just one door of the build
ing where the old Cruise bank was
located. Wallace bought the
fixtures and rented the place, paying
$50 rem in advance. May 1, 1871,
he had invested his last dollar in
a stock of groceries to this
little fruit store and Wallace was in
business for himself. He slept and
cooked in the place and kept down
his expenses.
How did he succeed? l.
Let Wallace himself tell what he
considers the foundation of a sue
business career:

though the governor, several days
ago announced the appointment to
the office of purchasing agent of j.

carried no section designating the
time at which it should become eff

His Determination to End
Life by Rope.

In a certain prison there have been
several attempts to commit suicide.

dens much trouble and anxiety.
A few days ago Il warden entered a
cell to find the inmate preparing TO
nang himself. He was standing on his
stool and trying to throw Ire end of
a strip of torn blanket around one of
the cell bars. The other end was
around his neck.
You're making mess of It." said
the weary warden. Let me help you. :"
In a trice the blanket rope was
about the bar and the moose properly
fixed.
The warden gave tug. He tugged
and tugged until the man was raised
from the stool-until he was standing
on air. There he was held until his
eyes and hands made eloquent appeal
for release.
That's the way" said the warden,
releasing him. NOW try it yourself"
But the prisoner has not tried it.

Except in the South, rice has never
been so popular in this country as it
deserves to be. 1t is relatively cheap,
easily digested, so mild in flavor that
it combines exceptionally well with

which should be used. The following
typical recipe is a good one and sug-

pieces and cook in water until tender;

REFRESHMENT FOR CHILDREN
Danger of Overeating lessened II
Food Is Served at Time to Take
Place of Regular Meal.

Children's parties present special
problems because they give the mother
the responsibility for feeding other
peoples children. One danger of such
occasions--that of overeating-will be
lessened if the refreshments are served
at such time as to take the place
of one of the regular meals of the day.
The same care should be taken in Sc
lecting foods as in the case of the
ordinary meals
No hard. tough, rich, or highly sea-
soned foods should be served. say
food specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture Cocoa or
some other milk drink, fruit, sand
wiches, ice cream or gelatin dessert,
plain frosted cake, and simple candies

come soft. Overlooking and using
too little salt are common mistakes
that have prejudiced many persons
against rice as a part of the meat
course.
For use in soups, rice is one of the
best of all the cereals. 1t may be
cooked in the soup stock, or left-overs
of cooked rice may be added just be-
fore the soup is served. Soups or

Many attractive salads can be made
by combining cooked rice, with left

Rice desserts have long been stand
bys in the American household, but
