FIRED BY PRES. HARDING
WITHOUT REASON

Washington, Feb. 6.--Twenty-eight
employees Of the bureau Of engraving
fired suddenly by order Of President
Harding more than year ago, have
been acquitted of all wrOng-doing by
a specil board named to investigate
their cases.
The report of this board has been
kept secret for many months, and is
now brought out in response to vigor-
Gus demand in congress. 1t developed
that the workers were fired, with in
situations of misconduct, in order to
make room for deserving republi-
cans" President Harding is said to
be deeply Inundated to find that he
was used by party associates to fire
the % workers on the basis Of utterly
false charges.

tor for Montana, who has been under

FTREMEN RELIEF
ASSN. ORGANIZED

The Plentywood Volunteer Fire
called meeting for the
of organizing a Firemen's Re
lief Association, last Monday evening,
February 9Th.
The object of the organization is
to care for disabled or injured fire
men and their families, or the widows
and children.
It seems that the state provides an
assessment against insurance cOmpa-
nies to secure funds for this purpose
and heretofore this money has been
going into the Golfers Of the City
Treasurer, but as the members Of the
Plentywood Fire Department have
been fortunate enough to escape such
illness or injury, the fund has grown
until there is now $500 credited to the
firemen's fund. This money VIII be
turned over to the new organization
Bylaws for the Firemen's RELIEF
Association were adopted and officers
elected for the ensuing year as fol
lows:
President. E. Helm
Vice President-C. B. Peterson
Secretary. J. LANCER
Treasurer. A. Malcolm.

Judge BOrtOn Vacates Setting of
POpIar-WOlf Point Action.
Poplar, Feb. Judge BOrton, who
was called to hear the case following
disqualification Of Judge Greene and
Conner, has indefinitely postponed the
Poplar-Wolf Point county seat action,
which was set for trial early this
month.
Judge Borton vacated the court set
ting because he is at present engaged
in hearing several cases at Malta, and
it will not be until he concludes his
work in Phillips county that he win
be in a position to reset the county
seat case and hear its issues.
Poplar is contesting the election Of
Wolf Point as the permanent county
seat Of Roosevelt county on the
grounds that alleged illegal practices
were committed by Wolf Point adher-
cts during the election. Poplar OBJ
tained an injunction to prevent the
removal of county government and
this writ was sustained by Judge
Greene pending the hearing OF the
issues Of the election contest. Wolf
Point has appealed to the supreme
court from his decision.

SHALL SHERIDAN
COUNTY HAYEA
COUNTY AGENT?

At the last session of the Board of
County Commissioners, it was decided
to enter into contract with the Mon
tana State College, engaging the
services of a County Agent. All MEM
bers of the Board of County COmmis-
sioners being in favor Of having a
County Agent, contract was signed
whereby the State pays about one
third of the expense Of a County
Agent.
Since signing this contract it has
been ascertained that the Special Leg
islative Committee acting upon bud
gets has recommended a large reduc-
tion in Extension Appropriations fol
the next two years.
If this recommendation should be
come effective, it would seriOusl!
cripple the Extension work in th'
State and greatly curtail the wOrl
in counties as now carried on.
In view Of the fact that Sheridan
county is interested in starting thi
work, which to some extent is de
pendent upon state funds, it would b
well for the farmers and busines
men of Sheridan county who wan
this work to be carried on to writ
ito our representatives and senator
at Helena asking them to oppose an
material reduction in the ExtensiO
Appropriations for the next tw
years.

500 ENGINE RUNS
OFF R. R. TRACK

The 500 Line passenger engine on
the Whitehall branch jumped the track
on its return trip to Kenmare, N. D.,
last Wednesday, miles east of Ray
mOnd.
The weather has been of blizzardy
nature for several days, showing and
blowing and the snow is quite deep
along this branch, blowing into the
cuts and packing in huge drifts.
The passenger train on its trip to
Whitehall had hadaa hard time bucking
the many drifts but before it could
return the tracks had been filled up
again and the snow packed hard.
It was in bucling one of these
mammoth drifts east Of Raymond that
the engine left the track It is in
an upright position and nobody was
hurt. but it will be necessary for q
rotary plow to be brought into action
along with a wrecker before traffic
can be resumed on the branch.
This is the first time since the win
ter of 1913-1914 that any trains have
been stalled by snow along tins
branch.

ANDREW HANSEN
TAKEN TO ST. PAUL
PROMINENT MILLER TAKEN TO
CITIES, so THAT HE MAY OBJ
TAIN PROPER TREATMENT.

Saturday, January 9th, Andrew
Hansen, popular miller Of this city,
was taken i'll at his home. About
two or three days after being taken i'll
his condition became so serious that
DR.. Storkan was called. The doctor
pronounced the case lumbago and
had Mrs. Hansen procure morphine
tablets to be given at intervals to re-
lieve the pain. The doctor was called
up several times after this as Mr..
Hansen did not improve and his main
prescription was more morphine tab
lets. Plaintly DR.. Storkan was puzzled
as he after further examinations stat
ed that Mr.. Hansen was afflicted with
sciatica. The case had now gone on
for about ten days without any i'm.
provement and Mrs. Hansen, the
sick mans wife, was very much wOr-
ried. The young man was then taker
to the Sheridan County Memoria
hospital, where a further diagnosis o.
the case brought forth the infOrma
ton that Mr.. Hansen was suffering
from neuritis, and the next day
was decided that he had spinal men
ingitis. DR.. Sells ventured the opinion
that Mr.. Hansen was crazy and reall,
had no business in a hospital. Abou
this time Mrs. Hansen made up he
mind that the doctors did not luioV
what they were talking about an
made arrangements to take him to S
Paul, where he could get proper al
tention, which the doctors readil
agreed to.

DR.. YORK'S PROPOSITION IS
LAID OVER BY COMMISSIONERS
Comr Reggie Tyler Does Not Like the Idea of Cutting Down
Expenses Regard to the County Doctors Makes Rash
Statements to Prove His Contention.
Dr. YORK TO MAKE PERMANENT RESIDENCE

M. d. has promptly told him that the
county viii be made to pay for it,
and that the county will gladly do so.
The truth of this will be verified short
ly. How many of these sO-styled
INDECENT poor, have been required to.
file a Pauper's Oath? Will Tyler or
Sells or Storkan tell US this so that.
we can investigate if they are paupers
or not? It is the duty Of the Board
of County Commissioners to investi-
gate into the financial condition of
these applicants for relief. How many
times have they investigated this on
the tax rolls of Sheridan county? We
venture to say that they have never
done so. We know of at least one
operation being performed on per-
son living in greater luxury than
most of the farmer taxpayers Of this
county, and paid for out Of the poor
fund of this county.
And now, Tyler says that he wants
these M. DIS to keep on with this
system, although he knows deep down
in his heart that DR.. York can save
this county perhaps twO-thirds Of this
expense from now on and if he does
not know he ought to know. We ven
ture to say that when DR.. YOrk's pro-
position comes up to vote, if it ever
does, that Tyler viii use every effort
to block it. He will probably have
Sells, StOrkan and MatEin there to
: give him moral support, but these
same parties can bet their bottom
dollar that this thing will not end up
, with a mere refusal to accept this
! offer Of free service from our ChirO-
: practic doctor.
a DIR. YORK TO REMAIN HERE
S Plentywood and Sheridan county
E can be Justly proud and thankful that
: DR.. York has decided to settle here
: with us. There are less than 100
e Chiropractic doctors in the entire
= state. In fact so would be nearer the
i mark and most Of these go to the
It larger centers of population such as
r Billings, Great Falls, Butte, Helena
e Anaconda, LewistOwn and Missoula
IS In fact almost all Of them are located
@ in these cities and the patients have
h to travel hundreds of miles to obtain
n relief from them. Patients are com
e mencing to come to PlentywOod fOl
It considerable distances now. DR.. YOrl
is resided in this county for many years
" before he took up Chiropractic an'
IS owns a farm near Outlook and als'
le owns a home in Outlook. 1t is hi

Gentlemen:
Now, we have been here 80 days,
so half Of our time has passed. The
fireworks are just starting in the
House and Senate. The Dixon Tax
measure, House Bill No. 5 passed the
House in fine shape and it is now in
the Senate committee. It will have
close showing there as there are so
many in that body who put the mark
above peoples rights and what they
are supposed to be here for.
My bill regarding changing of time
for creation of new school districts
passed the House today. Primary
election bill has been passed out of
committee and recommended to be
passed.
My legal rate e per cent? interest
bill is still in Committee. There will
surely be some fireworks going on
when it comes out from the committee.
am sure that the bill will pass the
House, but it is hard to tell what will
happen to it in the Senate.
There are public hearings every day
and many in the evenings, regarding
measures. am going from 600
to 1900 or 100 o'clock every night
on committees or hearings Of some
kind in connection with the Legisla
ture here. Last night there was Z
hearing on a bill regarding Zone day.

It seems that some powerful infiu- /
ence is at work with the Board of |
County Commissioners in order that
they be barred from accepting the
offer of DR.. York to treat INDECENT
poor patients free of charge. Of course
Dr.s Sells and Storkan have both been
very busy to block this movement and
so far they have been successful, and
it is quite apparent that some knock
ers have been in constant touch with
Tyler, as he has made several remarks
concerning DR.. York and ChiropractOrs
in general which has been told to
him by some unvarnished and unprin-
cipled liars and he is so densely ig-
norant in the matter that he has gone
about repeating the junk. It is very
plain that Commissioner Tyler does
not want to remove any Of the PORK
| BARREL from Sells and Storkan and
shows himself as being absolutely
hostile towards DR.. York's proposition
to save the tax payers Of this county
thousands of dollars annually. Jud
Matl6in is in constant touch with him
when Tyler is in PlentywOod and they
have long secret sessions morning
noon and night and we suspect that
Matkins has finger in the mud again
TYLER SHOWS IGNORANCE
Commissioner Tyler stated that DR.
York had no license and therefor'
4 it was not advisable to have him trea
D the county poor. This shows whethe.
Tyler Investigated the matter or not
as DR.. York has his license from thl
! Montana State Board Of Chiropracti
Examiners hanging in his Office an'
T it can be examined by anyone. H
I said that anyone could get to be
7. Chiropractor with two or three month
study, and that it was easy for som
poor ignorant cuss to be a ChiropraC
tor. This once again shows the ASSN
7 inc ignorance of this man the peopl
elected to serve them as County Con
missioner. If he would but invest
ol gate the matter it would be found tn;
n in order to even enter the Paine

ID we'll educated in advance and it take
many students years and years
complete their course, whereas wit
ID others more fortunate, the course ca
le be completed in about half the tin
Mt it takes for a medical doctor to g
