LAWYERS Sue
0BCORD0N TO
RECOVER AUTO
Car in Question Is One Which
It Was Alleged Tex Hunter
Stole in Wyoming.

Sheriff Bob Gordon was sued in dis
trict court Tuesday for the recovery
of a Hudson super-six automobile or
$500, in claim and delivery action
filed by the law firm Of Freeman,
Thelen & Frary. The automobile in
volyed in the action is the one taken
from the possession Of Attorney J. n
Thelen by Sheriff Gordon last January
and the one f. B. (Tex) Hunter was
alleged to have stolen from Greybull
business man.
The plaintiff firm alleges that the
car became its property on September
5. 1921. that it was unlawfully and
wrongfully seized by the sheriff and
that Sheriff Gordon refused to deliver
it when Attorney Thelen made demands
Tuesday.
Attorney Thelen received telegram
from Hunter Tuesday stating that the
grand larceny charge against him had
been dismissed. Hunter was returned
to Wyoming after a vigorous fight
against extradition. Authorities charg-
ed that he took the automobile from
z. A. Tucker of GreybulI. Wyo., and
brought it to Great Falls. where he
gave it to Thelen as payment for legal
services.
Hunter won his fight in the Wyo-
ming courts, it is said, by producing an
instrument showing that he had pur-
chased the car and bill of sale Cover
ing the transfer of ownership to At
torney Thelen. He was held under
ST 900 bail pending trial. Attorney
Thelen said Hunter expected to return

With the proposed Missouri river

item BY item, and was unanimously
adopted, except that sections relating
to club expenditures win be submitted
to the budget committee for final ap-
proval. The committee recommended
budget of $1,000 for the clubs good
roads department OF this sum, $500
would be contributed to the YG Bee
Line, $500 for road maps and publicity
relating to local highways and $1,000
to be available for specific purposes
approved by the club as occasion arises.
About 5000 is contemplated for special
road signs.
Report of Committee
The report in full was as follows:
For the year 1922, your commit
tee feels that there is only one way
to get satisfactory results in this de-
partment and that is to operate within
an appropriation for good road devel-
opment Of an approved amount.
I'VE recommend budget of $1,000
for the good roads department of the
club for the year 1922, to be used as
follows:
Contribution to the Y-G Bee Line,
$500.
Road maps and publicity for dis
tribution and use in Great Falls max
ing available information for travel
ers regarding all highways into and
out of the city, $500.
I'VE feel, for one thing. that some
member of the board of directors or
of the good roads committee should at
tend every good road meeting Of i'm
portance in the state Of Montana dur
ing the year. This is the only way
in which we can adequately keep in
touch with matters that are of the
utmost Importance.
5000 for Signs
I'VE wish to expend about 5000 in
special signs close to Great Falls for
the detailed information of the general
traveller.
"Enumerating some of the things
which we think ought to receive def
mite attention and development as far
as possible. attention is directed to
the following:
I'VE desire to carry forward the
promotion and advancement Of the
Y-G Bee Line throughout it's entire
mileage. We believe that the Mis-
souri, River canyon road should be
constructed at the earliest possible mo-
ment-there is no contemplated high
way Improvement for this section that
will save SO much mileage and time
and transportation costs for the in
vestment money required We hope
and wish to work for the early CON
struction by the forest service of a
highway across the mountains from
Augusta to Missoula through Lewis
and Clark pass.
Detailed attention should be given
early in the year to further connect

INFLUFNzA SWEEPING CITY
LACKS Y|RULENCE OF 1918
Malady So Mild Compared to Former Epidemics
That Many Do Not Call Physician and
Few Cases Reported.

uuent attacks are much less severe
than the first. It has been determined
that the open air treatment is the most
effective preventive measure. BY this
is meant that nothing was gained dur
ing the severe epidemics by closing the
schools, theaters and other places
where proper supervision and ventila-
ton could be maintained. New York
city was the only place that did not
close it's schools in 1918, and the rec
ord shows that there was a smaller
percentage of cases and deaths there
than at any other place in the country.
ANY person can minimize the danger of
contracting the disease by staying away
from known cases. The greatest dan
ger Of spreading is through the
coughing or sneezing of patient, and
the germ may also be transmitted by
the breath"
Covers Whole World
The present epidemic has become al
most world wide in extent within the
last four weeks. The first cases were
reported in London. England, and the
next week it appeared in Paris, where
the disease appeared to be more severe
than elsewhere, DIR. Foard stated.
New York was the first American city
to report the disease and since its ap-
pearance there it has spread to all
PARTS of the nation. The general ten
dency of physicians to not report cases
is quite prevalent throughout the coun-
try. At Helena last week DIR. Foard
was told by one of the leading physl-
clans that he had 20 patients, but that
he had reported none of them because
Of the mildness of the attack.
The personnels of number Of CON
Germs in the city have been materially
reduced during the week by the local
epidemic, but as a rule the patients
have reported back for duty within a
few days The epidemic last week took
seven men out of The Tribune's COM
posing room and as they began coming
back. men and women began to report
'.absent" elsewhere in the building
The business office has been somewhat
depeopled for several days and Mon
day night the city rooms staff had
been reduced to two people. This
fragment of the staff manipulated
typewriters with one hand Tuesday and
held their heads between sneezes with
the other.

It's viruEency. so impaired that its
victims frequently consider themselves
afflicted with the old fashioned grip,
the influenze is making another STAND
in Great Falls. But one death has oc-
Cured since the malady reappeared
here and only five cases have been re-
ported to the health office by -physl-
clans. but it is the opinion of DIR. n.
L. Foard of the federal public health
service that cases in the city at the
present time have mounted well into
the hundreds.
That so few cases have been report
ed to the health office is due IN large
measure to the fact that probably more
than half the patients have not called
a doctor, ir Dr. Foard's opinion. Where
physicians have been summoned the at
tacks have been so mild that the cases
have not been reported as influenza.
Pneumonia Not Present
An almost complete absence of in
fluenza PM umonia has had the effect
of distinguishing the present epidemic
from it's predecessors. In the last lO
days there have been two deaths IN
the city from pneumonia, but the rec
ord does not show that either was sec
ondary to influenza. No other pneu-
monia cases have been reported. DR..
Foard stated that this record of pneu-
monia deaths, considering the weather,
is entirely normal. The one death re-
sulting Immediately from influenza was
that of school boy on the west side,
who died "a hours after he was taken

1T is matter of medical history
that influenza appears in epidemic form

Foard, "and that on years following

The same is true of other diseases
that appear in epidemic form. ! would
not care to make definite prediction,
but there is reason to think that the
present epidemic will be the last OF
any consequence and that its duration
will be comparatively short.
