The Advantage
/ H. of a Handicap

You didn't know there was such a
thing, did youz 1t sounds impossible,
but that is what Mr.. Elliott A. Boyl,
the lecturer of the opening night at
Chautauqua, will explain. And he will
explain it in such way that if you
haven't handicap you will wish you
had one on account of the advantages
it would bring to you.
Newspaper reports in other towns
paint glowing picture of Mr.. Boyrs
ability as an orator. They say his
wit is incisive, his word painting
most colorful, and his common sense
diagnosis of his subject extremely
helpful to his auditors.
j Not the least attractive character.
istic of Mr.. Boyis lecture is his col
lection of really new humorous
stories, and he tells them with that
ability which marks born story
teller; and Mr.. BoyPs stories, humor-
Gus in themselves, aptly illustrate the
points of his lecture.
He will open a week of strong
lectures.

ANTELOPE ECITIZEN
PASSES AWAY

Antelope Independent: Again we
must report the death OF another OF
our leading citizens of the Antelope
community, Mr.. G. c. Sunstad, who
died at the Williston hospital on Tues
dav afternoon, June 14th.
Mr. Sunstad was taken to the hos
pital about two weeks ago suffering
from an acute attack of appendicitis.
He withstood the operation which was
hoped that could be avoided, and
seemed to be improving, but the first
of the week he began failing and the
angel of death came to relieve his
suffering.
Mr.. Sunstad came to this country
from Denmark about forty years ago
and had lived in Wisconsin and other
eastern states before coming to Mon
tana about ten years ago where he
homesteaded. Mr.. Sunstad was a
sincere, progressive, hard working
man and was busy working in the
field when the sickness first attacked
him, resulting in his death. He was
81 years of age and leaves to mourn
his loss, his wife, two sons, Thomas
and Nels and a daughter, Mrs Chris
Johansen, all living near the home
place. The body will be taken to TIA
cine, Wis, for burial.

THREE BUILDINGS
AT COMERT0WN

Comertown suffered bad loss by
fire Monday morning, June 18th,
when three buildings were totally de-
stroyed.
8 The fire was discovered in the back
room of the Dan MCGOWAN restan ant

rapidly to the other building and they
were soon heap of ashes.
The Dan MCGOWAN restaurant,
hardware store owned by Onstad &
Rostad and hotel owned by. Mrs. Carl
son were the buildings destroyed
along with good share Of their con-
tents.
A telephone call was sent to West
by for help as soon as the fire was
discovered, but the fire had gained
too much headway for any aid to be
OF use.
The harware store, which also CON
tanned the postofice was partially
covered by insurance as was also the
MCGOWAN building. Mrs. MCGOWAN
was a heavy loser as she carried no
insurance and the loss of her fufnl-
ture and building. is a large one.
Postmaster Rostad saved all the
postofice property and was ready to
take care of the patrons OF his office
the same morning at opening time.

in Plentvwood several days this week,
engaged in circulating q petltlon 70
be presented to County Treasurer y.
]. Olsen asking that officer to d1stn-
butte the county money according 60
law.
It seems that two or three OF the
banks have more money than some OF
the others, which deposits were made
in this manner by Rex Movlus When
he was county treasurer, and which
condition existed when D. J. Olson
became treasurer. Mr.. Olson has been
distributing the new money as Il
comes in among the low banks, but
owing to the stringent financial con-
ditifns existing he has been trying
r. % easy on the bankers until at
ter hayest, when collection will allow
the distribution IF the money to the
last cent in conformity with the law
without endangering the existence OF
anvsof the banks. The money depos-
tied in the above banks have beer
loaned and will not be, available unit
after harvest.
However, there is a certain banker
IN Plentywood, driven by the mos

Sheridan County State Bank is

come due, which cannot be used
for any other purpose, and which

Prior to Andrews's disappearance

going voluntarily to Greenwich, Conn,

issued there charging him with bigamy
Prosecuting Attorney Walsh. in
formed Of Andrcws's attitude, said:
II was under the impression that An

and give himself up. If he doesn't |
will apply for his extradition to Con-
necticut"
Andrews, who the day before had
maintained q bold front and declared
his eagerness to face any charge that
might be brought against him, did a
right-about-face yesterday.
II don't believe any warrant for me

struction on "The Manner and Pro-
cedure Of Elections" in public schools
and the other makes mandatory the
use of public schools as polling
booths. The purpose of the bills is to
instill the responsibilities of citizen
ship in the growing youth.
Voting Machine Bill Passed
Another reform Of somewhat SINH
ernor for his signature. This was the
Tolbert-Jesse bill, installing voting m q
chimes in cities of the first and second
class
The object of this bill is to stop the
ballot frauds in New York City AS
originally drafted, it was made to apply
to New York City only. But word was
received that Mayor Hylan would veto
the measure If it came before him. 1t
was then amended to include second
class cities, so that it would go only to
the Governor for action.
The Assembly tonight concurred in
the action by the Senate on the Lusk
anti-sedition bills. Both measures pass
ed the House with scant majorities
The vote on the proposal requiring
public school teachers to undergo 10y
atty tests passed with but six votes
to spare, while the measure giving the
Board of Regents the right to approve
or disapprove courses Of instruction
given by private schools passed with
a majority of four.
The program for the reorganization
Of the state government, as provided
for in the concurrent resolutions
adopted by the 1920 Legislature and
approved by the Senate this year, was
defeated in the Assembly to-day. The
measures defeated contemplated q
four-year term for the Governor and
| Lieutenant Governor and the consoli-
dation of the 1877 state bureaus. de-
partments and boards into nineteen
state departments. The home rule for
cities amendment was also lost
Rent Amendments Passed
Among other measures passed were
the amendments to the rent laws
enacted last September. The amend
ments offered no fundamental changes
in the statutes. Their purport is to
clear up doubtful points, save time of
tenants, landlords and the courts and
exbedite trial and decision of cases.
The Petite bill, which, according te
its introducer, would curb gambling BY
making oral booknaking a violation OF
the law, was killed tonight ~ the Sen
ate. 1t was asserted that the measure
instead of aiding public officials ir
their efforts to stop bookmaking al
racetracks, would make prosecution
more difficult. Similar action was taker
on the Belts bill imposing 12 pe,
cent tax on racetrack receipts.
The Assembly Rules Committee to
night killed the Lowman bill increas
ing the license charge per horse powe
on pleasure autom obiles from 25 cent.
to so cents.
