noises began early in the day. The
features of the parade

CLEANING UP THE
STOCK RUSTLERS

Through the efforts of state stock
inspector Blackmon, and the county
attorney and sheriff of Daniels coun-
| ty, cleanup is being made of stock
rustlers in that county. Charles Chad
was recently convicted of horse steal
ing with term of three to five years
in the state penitentiary. Ed Chad
was convicted two months ago of the
same offense and is now serving time
at Deer Lodge. The father of the
boys, Dan Chad, is in the Daniels
county jail awaiting trial.
There are more of this same stripe
who are yet to be convicted as the
authorities have the gang on the run
and have been able to get large
amount of valuable information that
will be Of assistance in the cleanup
campaign. Great credit is due the of
ficers, particularly Inspector Black
mon for his vigilance and efficiency
in prosecuting this tough gang that
has been source of endless annoy
ance and much loss to stockmen and
farmers.

"ONCE TOEVERY WOMEN
TO BE SEEN HERE

American theatregoers who revel
led in the dramatic wealth Of '"Ihe
Heart of Humanity and capitulatec
to the irresistible qualities of 1.-The
Right to Happiness" are doubtless OF
the opinion that in these two photo
dramas Dorothy Phillips and Allen
Holubar, star and director, have
reached the heights of screen perfec-
ton. But the public is asked to re-
serve its final verdict until it has had
a view of "Once to Every Woman" :"
the newest super-production, coming
to the Liberty theatre on Thursday
and Friday next week.
The popular appeal of "Once to
Every Woman" is heightened because
it deals with everyday people and
treats of a theme that is as old as
humanity. Mother love is its keynote,
and it shows the utter vanity of
worldly ambition when not founded
on human affection.
Miss Phillips first appears as a
school girl, the daughter of village
blacksmith, who, because of her good
looks and sweet voice, is the pet of
the family. She accepts the sacrifices
of her parents and sisters and when
a visitor from New York offers to
send her abroad to have her voice
trained she leaves home with no re-
grets.

finally reaches the goal of her ambi-

FERRY FRANCHISE
UP FOR HEARING
BOARD DISREGARDS MONSTER
PROTEST, GRANTS PETER
SON APPLICATION

A hearing was held Wednesday be
sioners on the application of Mariu
Peterson for franchise to operat
a ferry boat on the Missouri rive
at Wolf Point.
A protest was entered through
their attorneys, Marion & Foor, by
George E. Littlefeld, who is operat
ing the ferry at this point at present
and approximately 500 petitioners
against the granting of franchise
to Peterson. The petitioners were al
legged to represent more than 95 %
of the patrons of the ferry.
Peterson was represented at the
hearing by Attorney H. F. McCon-
nell. A petition said to contain about
80 names was offered in favor of the
granting of the franchise.
The Wolf Point Bridge and Devel-
opment Company, under whose fran
chise Mr. Littlefeld is operating, was
represented at the hearing by At
torney Kline of Glasgow.
The claim was set up by the ap-
plicant's attorney, Mcconnell, that
the bridge company's franchise was
not legal. Mr.. Peterson, when plac-
ed on the stand, testified that he was
an applicant for ferry franchise,
that there was not sufficient business
to warrant the operation of two fer
ries, that he was not the owner OF
ferry boat and that he was without
experience in operating ferry boats.
j. H. Coffey, placed on the stand
bv Mr.. Mcconnell, testified favorably !
to Mr.. Peterson's qualifications as a
ferryman.
Attorney Marion placed on the
stand S. T. Cogswell, H. T. Smith, j.
L. Davey, Harley Miller, Peter OF
son, Geo. E. Littlefield and others.
Some Of these witnesses testified to
having circulated the petitions of pro-
test and witnessed the signing OF the
names. This was in refutation of the
allegation that the signatures were
forgeries. Other of these witnesses
testified to the satisfactory manner
in which the ferry has been conduct
ed.
The franchise was granted the
Bridge Company by the county board ;
IF Sheridan county in 1916 and At
,orney Kline set forth that the coun-
" commissioners were wholly with :
,ut jurisdiction to pass on the valid ),
tv of the franchise or set it aside. :
Nr. Kline quoted law to show that
,nly the state, through its courts OF :
aw, could attack the franchise.
The showing made at the hearing .

MYERS MEASURE
OFFICIALLY OKED
TWO DEPT. HEADS APPROVE OF
SENATOR'S RESOLUTION
FOR RELIEF

Senate resolution "a, introduced
! by Senator H. L. Myers, providing
for extension of time for payments
by homesteaders on the Fort Peck
reservation has been approved by
both the Secretary Of the interior
and the Commissioner of the Gener-
al Land Office.
This welcome information comes in
letter from the senator to C. F.
Blaich of this city. The approval of
these two officials was essential to the
success Of the measure and make
prospects bright for the ultimate pas
sage of the resolution by Congress.
Secretary Fall of the Department of
the Interior, has issued an order that
has the effect of holding up adverse
action until January 1, 1922, in the
case Of delinquent homesteaders,

that the Secretary of the Interior
and Commissioner of the General
Land Office approve of my Senate
Joint Resolution "a, for the relief of
delinquent homesteaders on the Fort
Peck Reservation and urge its pas
hage by Congress. This is very graft
flying. | shall now give the resolution
my best efforts and attention and |
hope that before long | may be
able to have it passed by both bran
,hes of Congress and approved by the
President. Such things are general
y slow, though, and, if successful at
I'll, it may take some time. However,
shall press with all my power for
peedy action.
The Secretary of the Interior has
ssued an order that, pending action {
pon my resolution and until jan !
ary l, 1922, no entry on the reser-
alton shall be cancelled for failure
D make any required payment of
or interest, | enclose copy
the order. Whether or not my
esolution may be enacted, this will
old up all forfeitures until the first t
next January. That will give the \
chance to grow a e
bod crop this year, if they may be t.
, fortunate, and to harvest and f;
lresh it and probably sell it and thus W
axe some payment before the first c.
next January, whether my resolu- t(
on may be successful or not The tt
are safe from forfei- lie
res and penalties, at least until the m
st of next January. Between now
ID that time they may be able to M
