BOOTLEGGERS CONTRIBUTE
HEAVILY TO COUNTY FUND

Records kept by the county attor-
ney's office during the period from
March l to the present time show that
the county has collected approximate
ly $6,982.50 in fines from convicted
bootleggers. The most profitable
months were March, May and June,
when an average of 81, 800 each month
was yielded by prohibition law en-
forcement.
Approximately $4,000 of the total
has been placed to the credit of the
county general fund. Half of the bal
ance was added to the school fund and
the remainder has been placed at the
disposal Of the prohibition enforcement
officers. County Attorney II. G. Ben
net said that the figures presented
concrete evidence that more money
was being realized than expended by
the county in securing convictions.

Dearborn to Have
County Seat Fight

That there will be more than one
candidate for county seat of the newly
proposed county of Dearborn has de-
veioped by the action Of the citizens
or three townships in the Sun river,
Fort Shaw and Simms territories,
which were omitted from the original
petitions for an election on the pro-
posed new county, because Of the sup
posed adverse attitude of the residents,
and who have decided to ask that they

are he~t being attached at each of tine
tnree centers, according to Simms res
idents. The townships are Nos. rs,
70 and 80, composed almost exclusive
iy OF land within the Sun river irriga-
ton project
Z. s. Hanna of Simms is authority
for the statement that his town will
petition into the new county as an ac-
tive candidate for the county seat, but
that the county seat aspirations of the
town are not the controlling motive in
asking that it be included. According
to Mr.. Hanna, the people of the three
towns and adjoining territory are vir-
tually unanimous in desiring TO be in
c.luded in the new county. but Augusta,
located in Lewis and Clark county, Is
opposed to the division and is making
effort to induce Riebling to with
draw. The inclusion petitions will
embrace two townships in Teton
located Immediately across the
river from Simms.
The included territory would bring
much Of the Flowerree land and all Of
Flowerree home ranch into Dear
county. The election returns Of
1920 showed that In the Cascade coun-
~ portion Of the new county 512 votes
cast at Cascade and a total Of
800 at Fort Shaw, Simms and Sun
River. Approximately 200 votes will
cast in the territory proposed to be
aiken from Lewis and Clark county,
