local hospital was leased from DR.. j.
F. Blair by a board of managers,
composed of business men of this

superintendent of Yellowstone dis
trict of the Methodist Episcopal
church, was instrumental in the OF
ganization, cooperating with the
board of directors and the deacones-

in obtaining management for the
