HENSON MADE DEFENDANT
in SMALL DAMAGE SUIT

Chas. E.. Henson, OF Cottonwood
creek, has been made the defendant
in a damage suit in which v. C.
johnson of Billings is asking $500
damages as a result of an accident
which befell his son recently in Bill
lings. While in Billings a week
g Mr.. Henson had the misfortune
to u down Arlie Johnson, 10 year
old son of the plaintiff in the suit,
who was riding a bicycle down one
OF the Montana towns busy thoro-
fares. Mr.. Henson. although not
to n great measure responsible
for the accident, did all he could
to care for the young man, taking
him to a hospital and seeing that
he received every care, and putting
his bicycle in good repair once
more, but Notwithstanding all this,
and the fact that DR.. j. H. Briden-
baugh, the attending physician,
states that the young man has not
suffered any serious or permanent
injuries. the parent feels that his
feelings should be appeased to the
extent of $500, and has entered "a
suit in the courts of Montana.
AS Mr.. Henson tells of the acct
dent. he was turning one of the
busy orner with his auto, when
he came upon two young men riding
bicycles. The Johnson boy was eat
ing an ice cream cone and was not
paying much attention to traffic
when Mr.. Henson made the turn
around the corner toward him. His
companion proceeded across the
street ahead of the Henson car,
while the Johnson boy became con-
fused and turned away from the
car, directly in it's course, with the
result that the boy was spilled and
the bicycle slightly wrecked.
Mr.. Henson has paid all the
doctors bills and repaired the wheel
and feels that he has done all that
could reasonably be asked of hirl
to adjust an accident in which he
was only partially to blame.

AS surely as the word up
goes with clean does down go
with dirt. Better have callous on
the hands than be hardened to
dirt. Uncleanliness can only be
tolerated by becoming callous to it.
The filth of the emigrant does not
effect his happiness. Dirt causes
no uneasiness to a gross mind. Our
mental condition is symbolized by
our surroundings and bespeaks the
absence or presence of refinement.
AS no part of a hall can be dirty
without tracking and soiling the
rest of it, so can no part of a town
be unkempt without communicating
the rest OF the town. On a larger
scale. this is now being recognized
by nations. We are all involved.
The same water browns a whole
shipload and the same spark Of

love binds up the wounds of friend
and foe). The same gentle Chinook
