With less than $1,000 in advertising

Morrison. 1--WE must get these as well
as several smaller ones to make GER
tain the publication Of the book. But
the merchants and business men seem
united in their realization that Great
Falls must have a new directory. The
old one is so antiauated that it is Of
little use to anyone. and makes deliv-

II shall continue my work and am
very hopeful that we will find the sup

place our force at work in August and

A taximan of Lewistown reported
at the Commercial club that he made
the trip from Lewistown to Great

railway train to the city. The roads,
he said. are in fair condition. al
little heavy travelling and no places
that gave the car difficulty because
of mud. A second car from Denton
found the roads satisfactory. The

An oil man Of the city announced
that he is planning on making the

he reiterated that he had many other

charges that Conley took prison prop
erty from the storehouse the day before
| his successor took office.
We will develop that Conley took
the meat from the storehouse as al
legged in the Martin affidavit" said
Mac Donald.
Where. in your amended complaint,
is there any charge that Conley took
meat from the storehouse. as described
BY Martini" asked Colonel Nolan.
Mistaken on Wood Charges
Macdonald replied that this allega-
ton was not in the amended complaint,
but that an amendment migkt be added
in which it would be included.
II am willing to tell the world he
said, "why our complaint was drawn" ;"
Did you not know when you made
your charges" asked Colonel Nolan,
regarding wood being cut and sawed
by convict labor for the use of Conley.
that this wood was sold in Deer Lodge
and the money turned over to the
state?"
II did not" was the reply.
"How about this charge of stealing
coal?" asked the attorney.
Coal Deal Proper; Dropped
Il never made any such charge nor
used the word stealing" replied Mac
Donald. THAT is your own word. We
discovered that the coal taken by Con-
ley for his downtown office was legiti-
mate. The deal was perfectly proper"
Colonel Nolan then showed the wit
ness the states complaint, In which
the attorney for the defense claimed
the coal in question was one of the
numerous items on which recovery is
sought.
ing an automobile" continued Colonel
Nolan. "How about that?''
Auto Deal Also Proper
II did not accuse him Of this" de-
clared the witness. "At the time of
the investigation, however, this auto
mobile matter came up and could get
no explanation from Conley. Since
then, / understand, a cancelled check
has been found, showing that this auto
mobile deal was proper"
But you didn't tell the public you
were mistaken about Conley stealing
the automobile, did you?"
II did not, and l did not accuse him"
was the reply.
Colonel Nolan then asked the witness
if he did not know Conley's teams were
used in the ditch work on the A. C.I
NJ ranch, in the work of the prison
brickyard and in many other ways
about the penitentiary. Macdonald re-
piled he knew in a general way that
Conley's teams were used. but that not
more than 13 teams were necessary for
all the prison work.

QUARTET Held
ON MANN ACT
CHARGE MADE
Two Women Accused of De
serting Families in Oregon
to ElOpe.

A trail across three states that had
never grown cold to pursuing officers
ended for two men and two women
Friday when they were arrested by
Sheriff Ike MARITIME Of Teton county
and department of justice agent on
ranches near Choteau and Pendroy.
The two men. Romey Goodle. aged %,
and Alaman 3. Wells. aged %, are be-
ing held in Choteau on charges of vio-
lntng the Mann act, by the alleged
transporting of Mrs. Iva Brown. aged
30 and Mrs. Margaret Moore, aged -,
from Portland, Ore.
Information received Friday by
Sheriff Bob Gordon from Sheriff Mar
tine said that the two women, in com
pany with the two men, left Portland
on March 81, both leaving husbands.
They Travelled across Washington and
into Montana with the intention, it is
said. of slipping across into Canada at
Sweet Grass. Believing they were be-
ing shadowed, the fugitives forsook
plans to escape to Canada, according
to officers and came to Great Falls
instead. They are alleged to have been
in Great Falls several days prior to
April /.
The fugitives then left Great Falls
and found employment on two ranches,
one couple at ranch near Choteau
and the other pair at a ranch near
Pendroy. They hoped to avoid detec-
ton by spending few weeks on the
ranches, according to Sheriff Gordon.

serted an eight months old child and
brought with her boy aged s, while
the other woman had a three year old
boy with her when arrested
MARITIME told Sheriff Bog Gordon that
the prisoners would be brought to Great
Falls by the first Of the week and
locked up in the county Jail pending
further action. 1t is likely that they
will be held for trial here during the
next session of federal court instead of
being returned to Portland, according
TO authorities. 1t is not necessary that
extradtion papers be obtained in order
to remove them from the state
