Woman Files Claim
Mrs. Anna Wiegand filed a claim
against the city for personal damages
which she alleges to have sustained
on the night of December II, 1928, as
the result of the too-wide spacing be-
tween the planks on the bridge over
BOzeman creek on Lamme street. She
claims that her heel became stuck
between two rotten boards of the
bridge and that she was injured about
the back and hips and has since been
unable to attend to her boarding
house. A report of her attending
physician vas attached to the claim.
She said she was walking with her
husband, Charles Wiegand, when the
accident occurred. She asks for s4OC
personal damages. The claim was
turned over to City Attorney Pease
for adjudication.

GoU. Dixon's Statement on
Supreme Courts Decision

"In making the percentage cuts in the excessive ap-
preparations made by the legislature, | only followed the &C
ton taken by the governors of Pennsylvania and Wyoming
under similar conditions. The supreme courts in these
states sustained the action of their governors in their vetOes.
"FOr many years the Montana legislators have been
making appropriations beyond the states revenues. Know
ing the great pressure brought upon the legislative mem
bers by the friends of the various institutions for apprOpria-
tOns that, under normal financial conditions would be legiti-
mate, but with an appreciation of the financial strain that
exists everywhere. during the present depression, | sent a
special message to the legislature, calling its attention to
the absolute necessity of limiting the appropriation to the
revenues available. Notwithstanding, the legislature went
ahead and appropriated $500, 600 in excess of the revenue.
bills were not sent to me until the night of adjournment.
Faced with the acute situation, l did what seemed to me to
be the only sane thing to do under the circumstances, and
withheld my approval of a little more than s600.000 from the
appropriations. | believed then, and | believe now, that the
various institutions could get along for the coming two
years with the reduced appropriations left after my veto.
"But the supreme court is the final arbiter in these
matters. am indeed sorry that under the decision no
power seems to be lodged with any one to stay the hand
of the extravaganza made possible by legislative apprOpria-
tons, made in absolute defiance of the constitutional pro-
hibitiOn against apprOpriating in excess of the revenues"

of the disastrous consequences neces-

tutions, were of the opinion that a re-
hearing would be granted by the court.

These attorneys were also of the
belief that following the same line of
reasoning in Fridays decision, the SUI

Boys in Pool Halls

OOao ~ WI 1919
Mr.. Brown reported that as a re-
suit of several complaints having been
made to him Of boys under IS years
of age being allowed to visit in local
poolroOms, especially the Arcade, he
ordered an investigation TO be made
by Police Chief Metheny with the re-
suit that it was found the TOohey
Broters, proprietors of the Arcade
Billiard parlOrs, were doing every
thing IN their power to prevent boys
under the legal age limit from enter
ing the place. Mr.. Toohey explained
to the police that every lad who was
suspected of being under the age limit
was required to sign a card to the
effect that he was of legal age, and
that they were making an honest eff
fort to comply with the law. It was
suggested that Mr.. Toohey secure a
list OF boys attending high school,
together with their age, and that this
list could be invoked in case Of a dis
pute with the lads seeking to play
pool
City Attorney Pease was in favor
OF the boys being given a fair warn
ing before any warrants were is
sued or arrests made. He decided
that it was illegal for any boy under
Is years of age TO frequent the pool
rooms, no matter if they had the con-
sent of their parents.

ing several hours passing thru the

lead into the heart of Cedar noun
tain, they discovered that their sup
ply of candles had been lost while
crawling thru n of the low tun-
nels which it is necessary to pass
A search was started to find the
candles and 500 the match supply
was exhausted and the party de
cided that the most sensible thing
to do would De to wait until outside
aid came to their relief, rather than
to attempt to find the passage out
as there are many dangerous places
to pass thru in the cave.
When the searching party, which
left Cody at $50. reached hi cave,
it spent considerable time wandering
thru the many different passage
ways before it was able to commun-
icate with and locate the lost party
Mr.. Love is a guest at the In

of getting lost in Frost cave will
probably be one he will remember

squirrel poisoning work this spring.
The district leader spent a few
days with him in checking over the

lind but very few live squirrels and

have been poisoned.
The district included some ia.

angle between Wood river, GreybuIl

prairie dogs and ground squirrels.

operation of practically every land
owner, however, the ground was
thoroughly poisoned. Eugene Phelps.

Considering the difficulty of poi

1t is very noticeable that the
tourists which are travelling this
year are not spending their money
along the route as they did during
the few years following the inflated
period. Automobile motorists are
increasing with each succeeding year
but they purchase only what they
need as they travel along. Few or
them seem short of funds, but there
is not the same wreckless buying
which characterized the travelling
public of a few years ago.
