: LEIPER HERE FRIDAY


Judge F. P Leiper of Glendive was
in Circle last Friday and conducted
a short term of court. A number of
default cases were heard, and also a
number of probate matters
Luther M. Higgins of Vida who
some time ago waived preliminary
hearing in an assault case, was sup
posed to have appeared for arraign-
ment before Judge Leiper last Friday
but failed to show up. This was the
second time Mr.. Higgins had been
notified to appear, and since he did
not show up, the Judge issued bench
warrant for him and declared his
bond of $4,000 forfeited, instructing
the county attorney to proceed to col
lect same from Walter E. and Frank
E. Peterson, who were Higgins bonds
men.
Sheriff Floyd Davis sent Mr.. Payne
out after Mr.. Higgins Saturday, at
which time he gave another bond, the
same parties signing up the new bond
which was raised to $1,00000 Higgins
excuse for not appearing was that he
had not received notice in sufficient
time.
A jury term of court will be held
the latter part of October or the fore
part of November, at which time this
case will be tried, besides several
other cases which are due to be heard

SENATOR LAFoLLETTE
BECOMES BITTER
He opens His Fight For Seat


Milwaukee, July 17.-Predatory
wealth has reached "undreamed of
proportions" and has dominated the
disarmament congress, the tariff and
other republican legislation, United
States Senator Robert NJ LaFollette
stated IN opening his campaign for re-
nomination here tonight.
He stated that monopolistic control
OF industry through oyer-capitaliza-
ton is the greatest cause of indus
trial disease" and to overcome mon
opolistic control he advocated that
the government take over the natural
resources of the country and extend
the privileg6 of their exploitation
through a strict leasing system.
A few spectators left the hall early.
These were characterized by Senator
LaFollette as a few of his enemies
and what he termed 'chaff' which is
blown out in hurry when s'thresh-
ing is going on.
Agriculture. he said, ''is most

wrecks, the merchant fleet idle, cost

yiduals for a few cents on the dollar.

shared men of prominence in its organiza-

other a well.known doctor, still another a
distinguished attorney.
Two years ago came to Detroit one
who called himself Aleister Crowley.
Crowley had been reputed to be interested
in what was called Devil Worshppers"

stanfeld Jones. whom Crowley, The
Great Baphomet," introduced as his field
organizer"
At that time Albert W. Ryerson was the
directing head of the successful Universal
Book Stores Company, Inc, as already
said. Ryerson became interested and pub
'ished Crowleys shocking book Of ritual,
The Equinox" This was the book which
trict Attorney Francis Murphy Is the
most lasciviOus and libidinous book that
has ever been published in the United
States"
Ryerson, according to admissions made
in the proceedings in bankruptcy court,
where he was examined, told of the first
meeting of the few that were at first
interested in the exclusive Detroit Ath-
letic Club. But Crowley did not at that
time, it appears, unfold his full plan,
THE aims" Crowley explained, "of the
o. T. o. may be said to teach Hermetic
Science or Occult knowledge. the Pure
and Holy Magic of Light, the Secrets OF
Mystic Attainment YoCa of all forms,
Gnana Yoga. Rata Vega. Bhakta Yoga and
Hatha Yoga, and all other branches of
the secret Wisdom of the Ancients.'
There was a pause, say those present.
and Crowley said impressively:
THE names Of women members are
never divulged."
Ryerson, by his own admissions, is
professed spiritualist But II soon devel-
cped that Crowley deaf only in "'spirit-
ism" But while others dropped away
Ryerson still sponsored Crowley.

Then Mr.. Ryerson, through counsel said
the date of their marriage was December
