County Attorney Z. A. Peterson.
MarshalI's Statement
The gist of Marshall's statement,
which was made after he had secured
bonds and was released, and which
he requested Sheriff Smith to show to
both Dyer and Martin, was to the
effect that a party came TO him late
last October and gave him some
money to give to a lawyer who was to
secure the release of Dyer from the
p~eritentiary on either pardon or pa
role. He said he did not know either
Dyer or the man, and did what he
was told in the goodness of his heart

which were three of $1,000 denomina

the Salesvilie bank, and also tire
similar documents that were later dis
cosed of by Loranger, a former Hi

Jerry Sawyer Convicted
The first case on the criminal docket
came up for trial Monday when Jerry
Sawyer, a two-time offender, was the
defendant on charges Of havin2
possessed liquor. He denied the charge
and said that the liquor was not his
and that it had been found in an out
building that had never been locked.
The jury thought otherwise, and,
after being out on the case all night,
Monday, returned a sealed verdict
Tuesday morning finding the defend
ant guilty. Judge Law said he would
pronounce sentence Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock. The members of the
Jerry Sawyer jury were NJ. B. Bond,
Frank Dewitt, ]. NJ. Malin, R. H.
Kimm, Harold McCay, William Rein
hardt, Carl Feistner, William Ster-
zick, Charles Spick, Chester Schultz,
E. S. Newberry and George Huff.
The trial attracted considerable To-
cal interest as there has been only
two convictions recorded in Montana
on a third offense charge under the
prohibition laws, the penalty for
which is a fine of $500 and a prison
term of from n to two years.

The case of the State against Roy
Harrison and Ernest Thompson, al

Enous, who is serving a term IN the
state prison on a similar conviction,
came up for trial yesterday morning

evening, when it will go to the jury.
The men are charged with. grand
larceny, the theft of 325 bushels OF
wheat from the granary o. =. V.
Scotland and William DeHooge, of
near Manhattan, last October, and
removing it to the granary of Albert
Whitney, near Manhattan.
The principal witness for the state
is Frank Sustillo, a ~19-year-OiC
youth. who claimed he was double
crossed by the two men and who
testified that ne had actually saw

In the essay on Waste" the
author tells Of the General Grant
period when in many homes Moth
ing was wasted-how vases were
manufactured out of Plantation Bit
tiers bottles by sticking colored glass
over them. and how cigar boxes
were made into ji1-saw/ wall
brackets. Referring to the present
day, he wonders why a machine has
not been invented so that old
blades from safety razors. could be
thrown into a hopper ana have them
come out made into Phi Beta Kappa
pins. He enumerates countless
ways in which economies were
practised by the old New Eng
landers such as making mattresses
from newspapers and razor strops.
from old boots. and he adds TO these
suggestions a gentle touch OF satire.

Arthur G. Staples fills a big place

asserts Mr., Mipot in his foreword.
His influence on it's political,

It's customs and habits. it's ways

virtues and failings. its attitude

it's workers-these provide him with
so many of his themes that his

Japan to mobilize for work in the
Far East her forces would be found
much larger and more effective than

propinquity of Japan to China would
give the empire an enormous ad =

The feature Of Japan's program
which causes much concern within
the British empire and the United
states Is thnt which has for its
OBJECT the ultimate recognition by
az powers OF Japan's racial equality.
Aostractly, this recognition would
mean little: but concretely 1t would
mean that the United States
Canada. Australia and New Zealand
would be at a loss to exclude Japon-
csc immigrants. since Japan refuses
