THE Jordan Times, just after a
L visit of Gov. Dixon to that
section OF the country some weeks
ago printed the following alleged
news item:
judgement in Conley Case.
"The famous. Conley case insti-
tuted by Governor Joseph M. Dix
on representing the state of Mon
tana against the former warden Of
the state p%enitentiary was decided
Wednesday afternoon, a judgment
having been rendered in favor OF
the state in the amount Of $4,000.
This means a great victory for the
governor, and even if the higher
court should beappealed to, there
is no reason why the finding of the
Judge in the first case should not
be sustained. Governor Dixon re-
ceived the message while in Baker
Wednesday evening"
We are informed that the Mel
stone Messenger and the Terry
| Tribune also printed the same fake
news item. All three Of these
newspapers are Dixon republican
newspapers, and all three of them
attribute their information to a
message or dispatch received by
| Gov. Dixon at Baker, where he
made a speech. Of course Judge
Horsky before whom this case was
heard, has made no decision in the
case, or if he has he has given no
intimation to anyone of the tact
To state that the case was decided

sion was a great victory for Gov
Dixon. weeks before any decision
is handed down seems to us to con
stitute a fragrant case of contempt
of court. The use made OF this
fake news adds to the offense. Il
was used in an effort to create
political capital in favor of the
Dixon candidates for the legisla'

has reserved his decision SO long

preventing its S as a polltlca
argument by either side to intlu

The wording of the news item
iustifies the inference that Gov
Dixon gave it out to his friendly
newspapers on the occasion OF III
recent trip to that section OF thu
state. IF that inference is not cor

FAMOUS CASE.

NEW PORK, Sept. 29.-The Still
man divorce case, in which the prin-
cipals accused one another Of being
the parents of illegitimate children,
has been in many ways without
parallel in the history of domestic
ruptures in American high society.
James A. Stillman, who instituted
the court proceedings, was president
of the National City Bank of New
York, the sen of former head OF
that institution and noted multi
millionaire. He charged his wife,
the former Fiji Potter, a famous
beauty, of infidelity, saying she was
guilty of misconduct from 1915
through 1919 with Fred Beauvais,
an Indian guide at their summer
camp near Three Rivers. Quebec.
Mr.. Stillman declared Beauvais was
the father OF Guy Stillman, born to
Mrs. Stillman in November, 1919.
This charge was denied by Mrs.
Stillman. In retaliation she accused
her husband of misconduct with
three women. One OF those named
was Florence II. Leeds, former
Broadway show girl. The other two
were identified as Helen" and
Clara
Mrs. Stillman asserted her hus-
band was the fat her OF two children

died at birth. The other, Jay Ward
