NOW IS INVOLVED IN
THREE LEGAL. ACTIONS
Son of Empire Builder Defendant in Alienation Action and
Also Involved IN Breach of Promise Controversy AS
Well AS Cattle Sut

Livingston, Sept. 25.-Adding his
suit for divorce to the court calen-
dar in Park County, Walter Hill. son
! OF the late empire builder, is now
| involved in three seperate and dis
tlnct suits in the sixth judicial dis
trict of Montana.
The case cf Frank Gottlobb, Jr.,
VS.. Walter Hill, in which Hill is
being sued for alienation" has been
transferred to the sixth district from
Yellowstone county. The case is one
in which Gottlobb charges that while
he was seeking work in Wenatche,
Wash, Hill met Mrs. Gcttlobb in
Livingston. Mrs. Gottlobb after
wards was divorced by her husband
and a child was given into custody
of the father.
Mrs. GOttlobb later sued Walter
Hill for breach of promise and this
case was settled without coming to
court action.
Suit Over Contract.
In the last term of the local dis
trict court, the Hill Cattle corpora
ton was sued for $25O,OOO damages
growing out of a dispute as a result
of a contract with the Killcrn Broth
ers of Park county who charged that
a contract, which they attempted to
hold was valid during a period Of
years, had been arbitrarily cancelled
by the Hill corporation and they
were seeking redress in damages
This case was thrown out of court
on motion of Hill's attorneys to non
suit and the motion was sustained by
Judge jeremiah Lynch of Butte, whC
was sitting for Judge H. J. Miller o.
the sixth district and who had dis
qualified himself.
The case has since been taken Il
the supreme court of Montana OF
appeal and is pending at this time.
Divorce Case Latest Gamble
The latest suit in which Waite
Hill is involved in local district cour
is the one in which he is plaintiff
and Pauline Hill, his wife, is defend
ant. Hill is suing Mrs. Hill for di
vorce on the grounds of cruelty an
alleges that her conduct has mad
their marriage relations intOlerabl
and no longer possible. The case i
Livingston was filed almost slmul
f taneously with Mrs. Hills suit IN s
Paul. Whereas Mrs. Hill asks OF
5000 per month temporary and tn
same sum in permanent almOny, tn
husband is asking for divorce wit

substantiate his plea.

IN ROOSEVELT County two men
are nominated on the Farmer-LabOr
ticket for the office of state repre-
sentative whose services and sacri-
fiCes in the progressive movement
entitled them to the support of the
farmers and workers of that cOun-
ty. They are Joe Wix and w. c.
Adams. They are both men who
know and feel the injustices under
which the people labor. They are
men whom the big interests cannot
buy or intimidate or their lobbyists
seduce by subtle flattery. The
voters of Roosevelt County who re-
member Ryder's vote against he
Bank Guarantee Law would also re-
member to put their KS in front 0
the names of Joe Wix and w. c.
Adams for the legislature. In
Daniels County the same thing
should be borne in mind where the
Farmer-LabOr ticket is headed by
H. F. Sparkling for the legislature.
Mr.. Sparkling is a man who has the
universal respect of his neighbOrs
and they know that when he takes
his seat in theh House of repre-
sentatives he will not only be tru
to his trust but reflect credit on his
county. He will be no camp follow
er Of the legislative sachems but
will, with the other farmer label
representatives, form the nucleus
around which the prOgressives il

over legislation in the interest o.

WILLIAM B0UCK is coming back
to Montana at an early date to
push the organization of the Pro-
gressive Farmers. Persons in ad-
joining counties who desire the
formation of councils in their dis
tricts should arrange for meetings
and communicate with A. n. Wank-
eL DOOley, Secretary of the State
Council of Action. When the meet
mgs are held farmers present
should avail themselves fthe Op-
p0rtuuity of getting in as charter
members. The Progressive Farm
ers Is an organization that does
not go into the highways and by
ways for membership. 1t is very
select IN its membership. As a mat
Ter Of fact the applications for mi
uation now awaiting action by the
various local councils are nearly as
large as the total membership. The
care with which this secret, pledge
bound organization of farmers Sc
lects its membership is no doubt
the foundation of its success. It's
executive committee in Sheridan
Conty-the Council of ActiOn-has
never yet undertaken anything that
I has not brought to a successful
iruitlon. This is probably due to the
TACT that it strikes and strikes hard
when the enemy least expect It, and
mat it has behind it a well discIp-
lined army of fighting members
who know what they want and do
not cry halt until they get it. The
organization work of the Progress
I'VE Farmers in other counties IN the
state has been held up for want or

provided for extending the Orgamza-
non until its power is felt in every
