JUDITH BASIN MUST
HOLD NEW ELECTION

Judith Basin county must elect a
full new set of county and legislative
officials, according to the formal pro-
clamation issued by Governor Dixon
setting the date for the general cleo
tion November Z.
The question whether Judith Basin
county's officers, elected at special
election in 1920 and not at the general
election, should hold over this year in
those offices which have more than a
two-year tenure, was submitted sew
eral days ago to Attorney General w.
D. Rankin. No formal opinion has been
handed down by the attorney general,
but the inclusion in the governors
election proclamation of provision for
election in Judith Basin county this
year of a new state senator and all
three commissioners, as well as the
entire roster of other county officers
settles the matter.
The proclamation, listing the Off
cials which must be elected, enumer-
ates the three congressional and four
state officers which must be filled,
provides for election of state senators
from 2S counties, the full quota of
100 members of the lower house of the
legislative assembly, county officials in
each county, and for inclusion of the
pari-mutuel initiative measure and
the two proposed amendments to the
state constitution.

JUDGE JAS. F. O'CONNOR
A VISITOR IN GLASGOW

Judge James F. O'Connor of Liv
ingston, Democratic candidate for
United States senator, was Glasgow
visitor calling on local Democrats
Tuesday. Judge O'Connor spoke at
Havre the previous evening. Com
menting on his speech Havre paper
has the following:
"James F. O'Connor of Livingston,
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for United States senator, was the
speaker at the first Democratic rally
of the 1922 primary campaign in
Havre tonight, and was enthusiastic
cally applauded during an address that
made decidedly strong impression on
large audience in the court house.
This afternoon he was given strong
reception by large audience of rail
road men in Cooperative hall.
In the meeting this evening, which
was arranged by the Democratic coun-
ty central committee, the Livingston

statesman was introduced by James
Holland, Sr.
Judge O'Connor took strong stand
against bureauism, favored less DOM
ination of the federal bureaus and
more authority for the state govern
ments, condemned what he termed the
taking away Of the liberties of the
people," urged enforcement of the
prohibition amendment, but advocated
an amendment of the Volstead act to
permit the sale of wines and beer, to
put the bootlegger and the moon
sinner out of business. He declared
that if the people Of Montana say fit
to send him to Washington he would
be the representative of no capitalistic
bloc, or any other kind of bloc, but
of the people of Montana in every
walk of life, and would do his own
thinking.
"He paid his respects to the state
government and Governor Dixon, 60
ing into detailed discussion of the
Conley case, in which he was chief
counsel for Frank Conley, and con-
demned what he called the extrava-
gance Of the state administration, par
ticularly with regard to the admins
tration of the state highway commits
sion and the business of the state
board of equalization. His remarks
concerning the Dixon administration
were frequently applauded."

CLAIMS SELF DEFENCE"
Dead Man Had Been Replaced by Man
of Greater Seniority and Was
Preparing to Leave
the Shops.

Havre, Aug. 17.-Coroner Holland
Thursday ordered an inquest into the
killing of Robert Stambaugh, Great
Northern brakeman, declared to have
been shot and killed by Harry Stiner,
a guard in the Great Northern yards
here Wednesday night.
According to the account of the
shooting given by railroad men Thurs
day, Stambaugh was returning to the
caboose of freight train No. 3215 from
the west to get raincoat when, af-
ter completing his run Wednesday
night he reported at the yard office
and found his place had been taken
by a man with greater seniority.
Stiner and L. E. Morris, another
guard who was with him at the time
of the shooting, declared that Stam-
baugh first asked them when an out
going train could be caught and then
drew a gun and ordered them to "stick
up" their hands. When Morris reached
for Stambaugh's gun, they claim, the
latter started shooting and was shot
by Stiner, who was farther from him.
Three bullets entered Stambaugh's
breast. Stambaugh was accompanied
by Peter Martin, a young machinist,
it was stated.
Stiner and Morris are in the custody
of the sheriff. Stambaugh served two
years overseas in the world war.
Chief of Police James Moran, who
with Undersheriff D. M. Crenner, ar
rested Stiner and Louis Morris Of

VALLEY FARMERS GROW
REGISTERED SEED
Forty-six Fields of Registered Grain
and Alfalfa Puts Valley County
in a Leading Position.

The farmers of Valley county are
fast recognizing the Importance of
good, clean seed and the advisability of
starting with registered seed The
past ten days County Agent Stebbins
has been out with G. V. Gilman, field
inspector of the Montana Pure Seed
Growers association. Forty-six fields
were inspected of which 30 were reg
istered Grimm alfalfa, 10 registered
wheat, four registered oats and two
registered barley. These 46 fields were
all seeded to registered seed purchased
through the extension office at Glas-
gov. The farmers have all used clean
summer fallow land to seed this wheat
on and the seed was either first or
second generation seed; that is to say,
it came from hand selected heads one
or two years ago. The Grimm alfalfa
was all purchased from the North
Dakota Grimm Producers association,
one of the best known sources of reg
istered Grimm seed.
In order to sell registered seed of
any of the above varieties the farmer
must come up to high standard of
perfection. The requirements for
passing inspection are set by the Mon
tana Seed Growers association. This
organization, in cooperation with the
State College, furnishes inspectors to
inspect the fields and pass upon them.
The inspector goes through the fields
and makes report on mixtures if
any, cleanness Of the field, and checks
on the source of seed and advises with
the grower about being careful at har-
vest and threshing time and how to
care for the grain after threshing, as
the marketing of the grain. The in
spector sends in his report to the of
flee of the association and they say
whether the seed grown shall be sold
as registered seed or not.
The association furnishes tags and
all registered seed is bagged and sold
under guarantee of the Montana Seed
Growers association. The alfalfa is
bagged and sealed and sold only in
sealed bags. This makes one of the
most reliable sources of seed in the
United States. Valley county is one
of the leading counties in the number
cooperating in the registered seec
work. The names of registered grow.
ers will be published as soon as the
association meets and passes on the in
pector's report.

RIDDICK IN NO "PLOT"
TO GET O.H.P. SHELLEY

That he had no part in preferring

suspending the director, was the state
ment Friday of Carl W. Riddick, con-
gressman from the Second Montana
district. So far as political plot ex-
lists to "get" Mr.. Shelley, as the latter
claims in statement issued Thursday
night, Mr.. Riddick is in ignorance, he
declares. On the other hand he says
that while he opposed the appointment
of Shelley, after the selection was
made he gave the prohibition director
his cooperation in the interest of a
successful Republican administration
Congressman Riddick, who was in
Great Falls Friday afternoon in the
interests of his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for United States
senator, said in telephone conversa-
tion to Helena newspaper:

HARLEM AND MALTA VISITED BY
SECOND BAD STORM OF THE
SEASON TUESDAY.
MANY REPORTED INJURED
Thousands of Acres Of Crop Laid to
Waste by Hail Driven by Sixty
Mile Wind; Much Damage
Done at Malta. 49,.

Two persons are known to have been
killed and several injured during the
terrific electrical and wind storm that
swept over a wide range of territory
north and south of Harlem Tuesday
afternoon and evening Mrs. Mary Nc
Caffrey, aged rs years, who was living
with her son on homestead As miles
north of there, was instantly killed
when the home was demolished. An
aged woman, living south of Karluk,
Canada, was the other casualty. The
loss incurred by the storm is estimat-
ed at $1,OOO,OOO.
Mrs. McCaffrey's son and his two
children were blown clear of the de-
bris and were unhurt, but his wife
was so severely injured that she could
not be moved to Harlem for medical
aid. Mrs. McCaffrey's body was TAX
en- to Harlem Wednesday afternoon by
neighbors and was sent to the old home
in Ray, N. D., Thursday.
S. J. Crookshank, bachelor, and
brother of Miss Elizabeth Crookshank,
superintendent of schools in Blaine
county, who lives near the McCaffrey
place, was caught in the barn while
putting his horses away. A terrific
blast of wind shattered the barn and
Crookshank received blow on the
head that rendered him unconscious
for several hours. He was brought to
Harlem by his brother, H. R. Crook
shank, for medical attention Wednes-
day afternoon. 1t is also reported
that another man was injured just as
he was going into his cellar. The
house was forced from it's foundation
and he was caught under it and badly
squeezed.
Reports from various parts of the
county Wednesday afternoon indicate
that the extent of the storm wa
greater than at first anticipated. Th'
deluge of rain and hail, driven by |
60-mile gale, is known to have dev
astated an area from the Bear Paw
mountains in a northeasterly direc
ton, extending into Canada, probabl.
for distance of $50 miles. The dam

but seemed pleased with the geese on
