CLEVELAND FACES HIS FOURTH TRIAL
Juries Unable To Agree In Three Previous
 Trials

MOBILE, Ala. June 13.-(Special Leased Wire. )-Thomas NJ. Cleveland, arrested last August on a charge of killing Stephen Tossing. aged resident of the county, will go on trial for the fourth time in the circuit court here Monday morning. Three previous trials on the charge of murder has resulted in failures of the jury to agree.
 County Solicitor B. E. Chamberlain announced definitely today that the case would go to trial Monday. He said there would be no continuance.
 It is one of the main cases in the docket for this term of the court.
 Cleveland has been in jail since his arrest despite several efforts to get him out on bail. He was arrested on the day of the shooting, which followed families. John G. Cleveland, father of the defendant to face trial next week, whopwas also indicted, was convicted and sentenced to serve 15 years in the state prison. He is still in the come of an appeal to the supreme court $. J. "Son" Cleveland, also indicted, was found not guilty.
 The coming trlaI ,ot Cleveland will be unique in the circuit court here Few persons have ever had four trials on any case in local courts. Outside of the interest caused by the promi- hence of both families in the south western part of the county the trials of Cleveland have attracted much no- tice due to q number of charges be- ing made of atteApting to influence members of juries, and of perjury against some of the witnesses for Cleveland in the case. It is expected that the trial will be concluded within a shorter time than the other hearings, as it is said there will be no new evi- dence.
 The aged man was shot, Cleveland alleges when a gun, which he says be was attempting to take from Tossing went off. killing him.

BUREAU APPEALS
FOR DAVIS RETENTION

Individual members and commun-
ity units of the Farm Bureau intend
to make a strong stand for the re-
tention by the next administration of
Chester Davis in the office of Com
missioner of Agriculture. Many citi-
zens in various occupations will join
in this movement to keep for the
state the services of a man of unus-
ual diligence who was gifted with
a genius for the work Of his office.
It is generally agreed that Chester
Davis has performed work of great
value to the state and would be diff
cult to replace. The movement is
not in any sense political but purely
in the interests of Montana.
Petitions will be found at the banks
and perhaps at other places in towns
by those who wish to sign them. These
petitions will be presented to Gov
ernor-elect Erickson.

Evening Worship ------ 7:3C
There have been so many calls up
on the pastors time during the last
two weeks that there has been no
time for writing church notes and we
have been told that they were missed
by not a few. 1t is good to be in a
town that has a paper that is very
generous with it's space for church
news. We do our best to take full
advantage of that generous spirit
and sometimes maybe We are quite
lengthy in our copy but do not recall
that Editor Marshall has ever used
those long nosed shears of his to
make us more brief.
Last week on a cold day the pas
tor made a round trip of about fifty
miles to conduct a funeral service.
The journey was amply repaid by the
knowledge of having spoken a per-
sonal word of comfort and strength
to those who were in the bitterness
of sorrow.
Religious instruction started off on
Wednesday last and judging by the
attitude Of both parents and children
it promises to be a big factor in the
life of the community. This is a big
movement and is receiving nation
wide consideration 1t this time.
Last Tuesday the Mission Study
class met at the home of Mrs. 0. G.
johnson. There was a splendid at
tendance and Miss Elliot told of her
experiences among the m~outaineers
of America. Two new members were
enrolled. We want the Invest Mis-
sionary group in Montana.
The Boy Scouts of the P~resbyter-
ian church have merged into the town
troop under the auspices of the
Methodist church and several of our
girls are members of the Girl Scouts
under the same auspices. We felt
it better to have one large group than
to have overlapping efforts to do one
and the same job.
We have the county seat, the cleo
tions are over the Corn Show will be
over when you sit down to read this.
Winter seems to be here, and it's a
little cold to go hunting. Why not
get UP about $50 Sunday morning
and be at church by II 100?
In a year there are or the average
about 1O4 opportunities to attend the
church service Of worship, neverthe-
less there are many people in every
community who never avail them
selves of the privilege, but who will
expect the pastor whoever he may
be to preach a special sermon for
them after they are dead. The logic
seems to have a hole in it some place.
The Ladies' Aid meets next Thurs
day and will be entertained by Mrs.
Lyman Clayton and Mrs. Burnison. A
will be served cafeteria style
and everyone is invited. +.
Next Sunday morning the. pastor
will sneak on "The Hero Turned
Coward Did you ever see a person

hen suddenly cave in without any !
