ken between the elbow and shoulder
and the ribs on the left side OF his
chest were broken and that the lungs
had ben punctured by the broken
ribs; that he knew this for the reas-
ION that air was out under the skin
on his chest; that the cause OF death
in his opinion was a crushing injury
to the chest and that in his opinion
Bruno died as a result Of an automo-
bile accident.
DR.. Kirtley stated that he did not
see Paul Jones at that time and that
the first time he had seen him after
the accident was just prior TO his
taking the stand.
Paul Thomas testified that he was
with the party in the Jones car on
the day and at the time of the acct
dent as did also Clarence Santee and
Lionel Renner: their testimony did
not shed any new light on the mat
ter in question and we do not 90 into
il in detail except that Renner stated
that he imagined that Jones just lost
control of the machine, and that he
was not paying a great deal Of at
tention 10 Jones but that Jones' drink
ing may have had something 10 do
with the accident but not all.
Robert a. Finley stated he was en-
ployed on the Morgan creek road at
the time of the accident and was al
the camp when the summons for help
came; that he went down TO the
scene Of the accident 10 ascertain if
he could do some good; that the
road was good where the car wen,
over; that he saw Paul Jones about
an hour an a half after the accident
and that Jones was intoxicated: that
the road at the point where the acct
dent occurred was about the same
width as it was any other place, or
about nine feet.
John c. Oiler corroborated the
testimony of Mr.. Finley adding that
Paul Jones stayed at his place all
night the night of the accident: that
no other member OF the party stayed
there all night and that it was not
necessarily Jones intoxicated condi-
ton which kept him there all night.
The case went TO the jury for con-
sideration at 100 Tuesday afternoon
and the following verdict was brot
in after the jury had been out for a
short time:

PLENTYWOOD FAIR
Is A BIG SUCCESS

The Second Annual Plentywood
Fair was held last Saturday and was
a huge success. In spite of the cold
weather a very large number from
all parts of the county attended. In
all there were approximately $50 en-
tries including all kinds of grains,
vegetables, corn, grasses, potatoes,
livestock, poultry, canned goods of
all kinds, handiwOrk, baking and
Boys and Girls Club Work.
The display of vegetables, potatoes,
grains, and the womens' departments
would do credit to any fair.
The corn was not up to last year
but there were 35 entries that sur
prised everyone present for quality.
A Livestock Department of the
Fair was maugurated this year, and a
very good start was maide. Mr.. r. r.
Ueland and Ed. IversOn of Antelope
showed excellent purebred herds of
ShOrthorns, and Jens Ibsen eff Doley
showed his purebred Herefords.
These herd are al of the best stock in
the county, and will undoubtedly make
a good foundation for the develop
ment of livestock in the county.
In the afternoon very entertain
ing program was given by the Boys
and Girls Clubs of the county. Dem
onstrations, songs, short plays, and
recitatiOns were given. A parade
was also staged by the clubs and
their leaders down Main Street
which was very impressive. Banners
were carried by each club giving the
name fthe club Ten of the four
teen clubs of the county were repre-
sented with about 100 members.
AS was expected this was the larg-
est fair ever held in Northeastern
Montana, and will undoubtedly be q
permanent affair Next week a list

BURTON K. WHEELER'S STAR IN DECLINE

New York Nov. 6.-The Republi-
can triumph in Tuesdays election
assumes an even greater magnitude
as the counting of the ballots nears
completion.
Overnight returns not only boost
ed the total of electoral votes cred
tied to Coolidge and Dawes, but in
creased the likelihood that the new
administration will have a depend
able majority of its own party in
congress.
They likewise lifted to new heights
the vast Republican majorities in
several states already counted in the
Coolidge electoral column, and gave
indications of depositing there all of
the electoral strength now classified
as doubtful.
The latest triumphal procession are
Montana and Nevada, having between
them seven votes in the electoral col
lege. That would increase the party
to 374 or ten more than is needed to
elect. For a time La Toilette had
threatened to capture one or the 9th
er. But the figures available today
appeared to make both safely Repub-
lican.
Dem. Standing.
The electoral bag of Davis and
Bryan remained meantime at 1876, and
apparently the only chance ef an in
crease was in New Mexico where the
Democratic ticket was holding the
lead by only a scant plurality. Cool
ldge was gaining at a ratio, which if
maintained, would add the states
three votes also to the Republican
total
LaFollette's last opportunity to in
crease the electoral of 13 given him
by Wisconsin seemingly hinged on
the returns from the only other state
remaining on the doubtful list
North DakOta-with five votes Cool
idge remained in the lead on the. face
OF returns from two-thirds of the
state, but his plurality was diminish
ing as a mounting LaFollette came
IN from the country districts.

of the La Toilette bloc-Senator

Minnesota-but they lifted the Re

their organization can give its atten-
tion to the building up of this coun-
try on solid foundation. The fight
has been long and bitter one, but
the ends justified the efforts.
ELECTION DAY
COLD AND STORM
Election day borke raw and a
cold wind was blowing from the
northeast, and about noon it COM
menced to snow and blow and by
three o'clock it was almost impossible
to travel by car, which resulted in
reducing the rural vote by at least
six hundred votes. The vote in Sher-
idan County this year was much less
than it was two years ago in spite of
the fact that the registration was
several hundred larger The vote un-
cast was 90 per cent farmer-labor.
The opposition vote, which resides
for the most part in the towns, was
cast almost to the last man, record
votes being cast. in Plentywocd, Med
icine Lake, Redstone and Antelope.
Dagnar however, increased its vote
and cast a record vote for the Far
mer-Labor party. Considering the
above facts, the Farmer-LabOr vic
tory was the greatest ever won in the

The vote in Roosevelt county was
exceptionally light. It seems that
the vote this year was about half of
what it was last year which was ex-
ceptionally high. because of the coAn-

least a thousand voters away from
