SUITS OLD-TIMER
PIONEER A. w. ORION RECALLS
LEAVING ORANGE BLOSSOMS
FOR BOHEMIAN BLIZZARD

Ex-residents of Livingston, now re-
siding in the city, thought they were
back in the old home town when they
were awakened last Saturday morn
ing by the moaning of the high wind
which cleared streets, boulevards and
lawns of the remaining autumn leaves
and swept them down in the Milwau-
kee coulee at a considerable saving to
the city in street cleaning expense.
Dense black clouds then gathered in
the north, but the presaged snow turn
ed into a warm rain. Old Sol peeped
out between the fleecy white clouds;
the wind subsidized; thermometers rose
to a point which gave Pioneer A. w.
Orion and a number of the other
hardy Gallatin county old-timers a
chance to walk up and down Main
street a few days before Thanksgiv-
ing In their shirt sleeves and minus
their chapeau - and thus 1925
freaky weather continues undated.
Mr.. Orion is perhaps one of Mon
tana's very oldest surviving pioneers,
having come to Montana in ga, fol-
lowing his father west with a bull
team. He was living in Bozeman at
the time Of the Custer massacre, which
~present-day Sioux insist was merely a
battle and not a massacre, and he
has framed in his office at the Orton
music store in Bozeman an original
copy of the first, and, presumably
the only perfectly authentic account
of the massacre, printed in a regular
issue of the Bismarck, N. D., news
paper, within a week after the massa-
ere, and sold on the streets in this
city for s'two-bits."
Mr. Orion is a charter member ID

WILLOW CREEK BANK
MAY SOON REOPEN

Coincident with the closing last
week of the Willow Greek State bank,
which was a voluntry action on the
part of the directors of that insti-
tuition, a rumor gained considerable
currency that a state bank in another
Gallatin county community was also
about to close it's doors. This rumor
was run down and found to be en-
tirely untrue and without the slight
est foundation, in fact.
In referring to the closing of the
Willow Greek institution, the Three
Forks Herald says:
Our neighboring city was thrown
into confusion last Tuesday morning
when it was learned the State Bank
of Willow Creek had closed its door.
by voluntary act of its directors anC
stockholders.
Just where the trouble lies has no
been ascertained, but it is presume,
that institution, like many others il
the northwest, has felt the effects O

financial depression, low prices Of
farm products and general hard times
during the period of reconstruction
following the great war.
The banks affairs are now in the
hands of the state bank inspector, and
until he has completed his investi-
cation of the banks affairs it will
not be possible to locate the trouble
nor to determine just when the bank
will be able to resume business, or
whether or not it will be able to re-
open. If this is not possible then the
affairs of the bank will be l~iquidated
by a receiver.
In the latter event depositors will
] receive a pro-rata of their deposits
| according to the banks assets and
liabilities.
The Herald hopes to soon learn
that the bank is entirely solvent and
that arrangements can be made which
will enable the institution to resume
business at an early date.

JURY INDICTS Man
ON GRAVE Charge
HAVRE JURY HOLDS DRIVER
FOR THE KILLING OF RED
CROSS WORKER

According to personal advices and
newspaper clippings received in Boze-
man this week by Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
F. Mcclure, a coroner's jury, sitting
last Friday in Havre, brought in a YER
dict to the effect that Mrs. Eleanor
O'Brien, secretary Of the Hill County
Red Cross society, a former resident
of Minneapolis, and well known in
this and other sections of Montana,
came to her death Tuesday night of
last week by being struck and in
stantly killed by a al driven by c. c.
Moody, a resident of Havre, while
in an intoxicated condition. Mrs. Nc
! Clure said the remains were shipped
Sunday to Saltwater, Mimi, for in
terment in the family lot.
The jury found that Mrs. O'Brien's
car was parked right, according to
state and county traffic laws; that
the Moody car was travelling at an
excessive rate of speed, estimated to
have been between 35 and 40 miles
an hour, and that at least two of the
men, Moody and Melville, were Sc
intoxicated that they were unable to
render assistance to Mrs. Eleanor
Thompson, niece of the slain Rec
Cross worker, who saw the fatality
from the front of the car where she
was standing holding a flashlight
while Mrs. O'Brien was engaged IL
changing a tire.
The jury recommended that Mood!
be held on a charge Of involuntar!
manslaughter, which will be done ant
the man tried at the next term Of tn
Hill county district court. He wa
released from custody when bail bond
were furnished by a Hill county of
fetal and a Havre merchant.
Evidence was introduced at the in
quest tending to prove that Mood
and his two companions, who wei
returning home from a hunting triI
were all intoxicated, having secured
bottle of moonshine from the propri
etor of a country inn on their return
trip to Havre.
Testimony along this line was ais
introduced by the Rev. Thomas 1
Huxley, pastor of the Livingston Bar
fist church, who was visiting in Havr
! at the time of the killing of the Re
Cross worker who was on her way t
the country On a mission OF mere

hands of an alleged drunken automo

the Gallatin County Pioneers society,

the state and county conventions of
those organizations of beloved mem
DRY. When recently offered $50 by
one of the Butte newspapers for his
framed copy of the Bismarck news
paper containing the account of the
Custer Massacre, he ~courteously re-
fused the offer by saying: "My dear
sir, 1 will not be able to accept your
offer. Besides, the amount wouldn't
even pay the interest on the two
bits"
The similarity between this falls

the brand of climatic perfection that
prevailed here Is years ago, was re-
called to his mind when his son, w
A. Orion, in talking to the Courier
man the other day, happened to men.

mer-like weather persisted right VI
to the Christmas holidays. In hi
weekly letter to his father, who wa

man; mentioned the entire absenc
of snow and sleet; and referred t

cause of the prevailing high temper
allure.
All of which so whetted the MOI
tana mountain appetite of the Senio
Orion that Immediately after the frs
of the year, he bought himself a ticke
and hied himself to Bozeman, ant
incidentally, ran into one of the worc
billiards and cold spells of his entir
I residence in the state.
AS a place of residence and a con
munity of prosperous people an
, happy homes and even throwing

LINEMAN RAMSEY
SURVIVES SHOCK

Improvement in the condition Of
Fred NJ. Ramsey, lineman for the
Montana Power company, who was
seriously injured last Saturday a
week ago at the high transformer
station on Eleventh avenue, south,
has been so satisfactory that he is
expected to be discharged this week
from the Deaconess hospital He
will be taken to his home, 903 Grand
avenue, south, where he hopes to
complete his convalescence in time for
, him to go back to work within the
next week or two.
Mrs. Ramsey says her husband is
still suffering from the terrible cash
on the head he sustained when he
fell head foremost from the ten-foot
ladder at the power station, and
landed on the concrete curbing. He
also sustained severe burns in the
palms of both hands when the wires
he was adjusting curled up anC
came so close to the line carrying
$4,000 volts that a short circuit was
formed and the "juice" leaped across
the intervening space and uesd him as
a sort Of arc.
The current did not go through MI
Ramsey's gloves but passed into thu
palms of his hands through thu
opening at the wrists and inflicted
severe and extremely painful burns
He was also badly burned on tn
right hip, to which spot the curren
was attracted by the presence of
pair of pliers and a screw drive
which he carried in his back overall
pocket. Mrs. Ramsey says she ais
discovered later, a small but painful
burn on his back, the spot being di
rectly under a large metal buckl
on the overalls that he wore at tn
time of the accident. Mr.. Ramse
has been in the employ Of the Montan
Power company for the past fiv
years as combination trouble-mal
, He worked for a short time, sever;
! years ago, at the Livingston branc
of the company, and is we'll know

tile Indians was recently sent over

of course, but the explanation that
