fendant Chester Louden, of Circle,
was alleged to have had sexual inter
course, with his own step-daughter
Ednabelle Grinnell, a girl about 16
years of age, at the time the offense
was committed. The girl at that time
was student in the local high school,.
The case attracted considerable in
terest locally, and was first brought
TO light in October of last year, when
Mrs.Louden went to the local author
tiles and reported that the girl was in
trouble, and that her husband was re-
sponsible. This lead to his arrest,
but the girl denied that he was the
guilty party until a baby boy was
born to her at the Florence Critten-
den home in Helena, last January, to
which place she had been taken. She
then told the whole story, and placed
the blame on Mr.. Louden.
1t was indeed sad story the com
planning witness told during the two
hours she sat in the witness chair.
From her story Mr.. Louden had made
improper advances to her as far back
as two years ago and that it had
occurred frequently for year or more.
The specific date when the alleged
crime of which he was accused took
place, was April 16th,. 1922, at the
Chester Louden home in Circle.
Defendant made an absolute denial
of the crime of which he was accus-
ed, and Mrs. Louden at the trial made
a desperate attempt to free her hus-
band,
1t took until Thursday forenoon at
11:O0 o'clock before all testimony
was in and the case finally submitted
to the jury. 1t took the jury six
hours to render a decision, and when
the verdict was read it said Chester
Louden was guilty and gave him
sentence of from two to four years
in the penitentiary at Deer Ldge,
light sentence indeed, considering a
crime of this nature.
The States side of the case was
ably handled by county attorney
Homer A. Hoover, and T.. Y. Ketter,
assistant attorney general or Helena.
The defendant had engaged attorney
Albert Anderson and former Judge
Hurley. The pleas to the jury were
about the best we have heard, es-
pecialy that of Mr.. Ketter.

MONTANA INDEPENDENT
Of ALL SAYS PIONEER
State Could Live Well On Only Prod
ucts Raised and Found
Within Borders

If some titantic upheaval of nature
should isolate Montana from the rest
of the world and throw the people OF
the Treasure state upon their own re-
sources they would continue to live
and exist and get along almost as well
as now, in the opinion Of George A
Bruffey, pioneer of Park county, and
a resident of Montana for 81 years.
IF I had my way about it | would
cut off 500 miles of these railroads
operating through Montana before
they reached the state line, and we
could all live in the state and produce
just as much as we need and live in
dependent of the outside world" said
Mr. Bruffey recently.
While he admitted that he did not
mean literally that he would have the
railway tracks torn up and return to
the old way of doing things. this 81
year-old man is a booster of the state
in which he has spent the greater part
of his life and really is sincere in
crediting the various resources of this
state with being sufficient to allow
man to live unto himself alone. To
show his sincerity, Mr.. Bruffey says
he with group of six pioneers in the
