it to a number of people who had
been deaf for years and they report
most gratifying results. Many state
that they hear the slightest sound
with perfect ease and that their nat
ural hearing has been greatly i'm
proved. The manufacturers are so
proud of their achievement and so
confident that every deaf person will
be amazed and delighted with it, that
they offer to send it to anyone by
prepaid parcel post on ten days free

This could not have been Mr..
Langford's first journey into the

as a guide on one such occasion no
less a parsonage than Captain
Bonneville.
On his arrival at Bannack in
1862, Mr.. Langford, together with
others, built saw mill about IL
miles above the town, where there
was some good timber, making the
most of the iron work for the mill
from old wagons that had done
service in crossing the plains.
Judge Thompson states: "In
January, 1868, a party of gamblers
and roughs fired into a wikiup of
the Sheep Eater tribe of Bannacks,
killing an old chief, a lame Indian,
and a Frenchman named Gazette.
odd Snag,' the chief, was after
ward scalped by Buck Stinson.
"The law abiding citizens arose
to the occasion and determined that
the roughs who had perpetrated
this outrage should be tried, and if
found guilty suffer punishment.
]. F. Hoyt was elected judge, and
twelve good men selected as jury,
whom was Mr.. Langford. |
w. c. Rheem, an able lawyer, was
assigned as counsel for the accused
and the trial proceeded.
"Mr. Langford was a man of
courage and solid worth, and be-
came marked man, when he voted
guilty while all his comrades de-
sided to clear the prisoners"

Shortly after leaving Montana
he entered the field of authorship,
and his "Vigilante Days and Ways"
told of the struggle waged here to
establish law and order, for, as it

not be said to have been maintain

Vigilance committee cleared the
country of its criminal element.
Of the conditions leading to the
formation of this committee, Mr..

the instance within the past three
years, when the history of
any country records the fact that
the criminal element of an entire

here, and when the Vigilantes of

WON'T DIVIDE
CITY WARDS
City Commission Not To Ask
1t For March Is Primary

The city commission will not re-
quest the county commissioners to
further divide Bismarck voting pre-
cincts for the March 10 primary, it
was decided at the meeting last
night. An opinion was received
from City Attorney Young to the eff
feet that the law provides the coun-
ty commissioners may divide. the
voting precincts if they contain more
than 300 voters and if the precincts
contain over 500 voters it is manda-
tory upon the city commission to
request a division: 1t was the opin-
ion of commissioners that there is
no need to GO to the extra expense Of
further dividing precincts for the
March 10 primary, but it may be de-
sired to make some further division
for the June election.
The city commission also received
an opinion from the city attorney
stating that there was nothing OBJ
jectionable in law to the city direct
ing the street commissioner or as
SCISSOR to collect road poll taxes.
The commission instructed the city
attorney to be present at the rail-
road commission hearing on the ap-
plication of the Hughes Electric
Company for new meter deposit
rules.
