BATTLE FOR COUNTY SEAT JUDITH
BASIN BEGAN MONDAY AT STANFORD

Although it seemed possible, in view
Of the nature of the proceedings, thai
the court may authorize the opening
of the ballot box, any ruling upon the
question has been deferred until the
plaintiff shall have furnished testi-
mony TO the effect that the ballots
have not been out of the hands of the
proper authorities since they were de-
livered by the election judges.
George B. Chowen and S. Mahurin
charged with casting illegal votes
were questioned on the stand Tuesday
Both owned land in Judith Basin coun-
| ty but held residence in Fergus coun-
ty. They were registered in the Ar
row creek precinct in Judith Basin
county and both stated they voted for
Stanford for the county seat.
The close of the third day of the
hearing failed to bring a determine
tion Of either the big questions which
had brought forth extended argu-
ments from counsel for both sides
constitutionaiity of the absent voters
law and the adrnissability Of the West
Garneill ballots as evidence. OF these
it is alleged by Hobson that that town
received "a and Stanford 5. The bal
lots were again brought into court but
remained undisturbed in their pouch
u.n TO the time of adjournment.
Louis ]. Lehman, present clerk and
recorder of Fergus county, was again
recalled by the state and asked to pro-
duce the ballots and returns from the
Garneill precinct. He then brought
the pouch into court but was prevent
ed from opening 1t when the court
stated that he was not satisfied that
complete showing had been made as TO
the integrity of the ballots. The
court also asked for an abstract Of the
election returns on the county seat
which 1t was promised would
be obtained from Lewistown.

Belt Football Team Trimmed by Stan
ford ThiTsting for Sweet Revenge

The famous words of Caesar-"l
came, / saw. / conquered were given
a twist of reverse English at Stan
ford last Friday when Belt met Stan-
fUrd ON the Iilgfg school f00tbAfi field
They went, they saw, and then came
back" with the score of IL TO 81 III
Stanford's favor in the Armistice day
game.
The first half was a walk-away for
Stanford, or rather, a runaway for
Nebel, the fast half back of Stanford
who is as slippery as the proverbial
CREASED pig, and under whose feet the
grass has little time to grow. In the
second half. however, the Belt team
found itself, literally tore the Stanford
line wide open and by straight line
plunges twice carried the ball the
length of the field for touchdowns.
Mccoy, Pattsner and Lester plunged
through the holes made by the line
men for big gains, but though it was
impossible to equal the score hung up
by Stanford in the first half. the Belt
boys succeeded in implanting a proper
respect for their .prowess and Stan
ford knows that they were in real
game.
The game to be played on the Belt
grounds Saturday between the same
teams will be worth going long ways
to witness. The local team has tasted
blood and now has confidence III its
ability to take Stanford into camp. A
real fighting spirit is evident in the
team, the kind of spirit that wins
games, and everyone not present when
the whistle blows at 2 o'clock Satur-
day is going to miss real football
game.
This game, by the way, winds up the
football season in Belt. The large
crowd that attended the Fort Benton
Belt game showed that the people of
Belt are willing to support the High
school in its athletic efforts. The
team hopes that the same liberal spirit
will be shown again Saturday, that an
even larger crowd will be out. The
team has taken the words, "Beat Stan
ford" for their motto, so buy your
ticket early and come out and watch
them do it.
The boys were finely treated on
<heIr visit to Stanford. listening to an

What promises to be one of the
longest and hardest legal battles in the
history of Montana, began Monday al
Stanford, when the contest case of
Hobson VS.. Stanford opened, with Dis
trict Court Judge William Carroll of
Butte, presiding. The suit is insti-
tuted by the town of Hobson, which
was one of the candidates for the
county seat of the newly created coun-
ty of Judith Basin at the general cleo
tion last year.
On the face of the returns Stanford
had a majority of 39 votes. Hobson
claims that through oversight the
total of the Ga5deil precinct, giving
Hobson majority Of 20, was not ex-
tended or counted. Altogether Hob
son attacks 102 votes, most of them
on the grounds of fraud. Stanford
maintains the legality of every vote
cast but %. Gum, Rasch and Hall of
Helena; Judge G. j. Dousman, late of
Garfield, and H. S. Woodward of Hob
son are representing Hobson, and Tenn
pleman and Sanner of Butte. Belden
and Dekalb of Lewistown and Earl
Wineman of Stanford, represent STAN
ford.
But few witnesses had been called to
the stand when court adjourned Tues
day evening. the excusing of a nunl-
ber of witnesses, who, however, may
be called later, took up much of the
time of the court in Mondays session.
The ballot box Of the West CARMEL
precinct, the vote of which has never
been canvassed-was the prominent
exhibit in the court room Tuesday. So
far Judge Carroll has made no ruling
as to its admission into the evidence
The lawyers for the defense strenu-
ously oppose the allowance of the bal
ots as evidence and nearly all day
Tuesday was given over to argument
from both sides on the question.

be found in few places between Mon.
arch and Neihart and the top Of Kings
hill InEthese= spots the road is al
ways good and the necessity for repair
negligible. Like cement. the lack OF
rain, or too much rain, has little effect
on the decomposed granite.
According to Chairman Geo. w.
Lanstrum of the state highway COM
mission. the lack Of rain in Montana
during the past number Of months has
done much harm TO roads Throughout
the state. In fact, it is doubtful
whether the injury caused by the ex-
ceedingly lengthy dry spell can be re-
paired.
ITO the general public rainy weather
means bad roads" said Mr.. Lanstrum,
but it is just the reverse of this. If
we don't have plenty Of rains our roads
just simply go to pieces. Many of the
roads throughout the state, built only
recently are now full Of ruts. The
reason is that the county commission
ers have been unable TO do any work
on them because Of lack of moisture.
You can't drag dry road II is only
1fssn there sis moisture IN the grUg1nd
that the roadbed can be evened up and
he ruts eliminated. You can be sure
hat the highway commission has been
praying for rain all summer

Two Federal Test
Herds Belt VALLEY

So far as we are informed, there
are but two herds Of federal tested
cattle in the Belt vaiiey-the Hans
johnson herd Of thoroughbred Short
horns and the Holstein herd of Jude
Huber There are very few other
herds so accredited in Montana.
The work Of ridding the country Of
bovine tuberculosis through the ac-
credited herd system, which is based
upon federal supervision and the issu-
ance of certificates by the United
States department of agriculture, is
making steady progress throughout
the country. Minnesota has been lead
ing all states for some time in the
number of fully accredited herds and
the number of cattle certified free of
the disease, but the report for Septem-
Der shows -ttisat=tthn aaad=h gone To-
Wisconsin The latter state now has
,3Ug accredited herds containing 28,-
G01 head Of cattle. Minnesota has L.
III accredited herds with 28,089 cat
tie.
The total number of herds accredited
in the United States is 1893. The
number of cattle in the country certi-
fled free of the disease Is 230. .7na.
There are 1899 herds and 84S. .244
head Of cattle that have been tested
,nee and, presumably, win be subse-
luently be on the accredited list There
ire 1,546,814 cattle in 103,046 herds
