ton could retire with smile on its
face. But the hoard of works
waited in vain.
The bond issue originally was au-
thorized last week, but had not been
signed by Council President Ben II.
Thompson. After conference with
Shank, Thompson signed the autho-
rization. Shank immediately vetoed
it. Thompson had opposed the bond
issue at the special council session
where it was passed.
After the veto, Councilman Lloyd
Claycombe moved to suspend the
rules to pass a minor ORDINANCE. An
ordinance must receive all council
votes to be passed under rule suspen-
sion. The minor bill was passed and
a fifteen-minute recess declared. Dur
ing this interval, Thompson slipped
away, and was not present at the
rest. of the council proceedings.
John r. King, leader in the move
to, pass the bond issue and council
president protein, finally called his
fellow members to order and after
an ordinance codifying all city laws
had been passed, the bond issue was
again brought up.
Rays was the only dissenting
vote, but it was enough to kill the
authorization.

REPORTED PLOT TO
RESTORE THE KAISER

Berlin, May 24.-Discovery of de-
tailed plans for the establishment of
a German fascist dictatorship whose
object was the restoration of the Ho-
henzollerin empire in renewed SPLEEN
DOR, has been announced by police.
Continuing police raids on the
homes of alleged German fascist lead

earthed mass of documents which in
cluded a detailed plan for an attack on
Berlin.
Among the documents taken by po-
lice were plans calling for the forcible
resignation of President Won linden
burg, the overthrow Of the federal and
state constitutions by armed force, the
dissolution of all parliaments, the ex-
ecution without trial of strikers as

Large Stock Bands
to Craze in State
National Froests

Helena, May 27,-The seventeen
Montana National Forests comprising
fifteen million acres are this year tax
ing in their usual list of summer
boarders numbering $4,000 cattle,
10000 horses and 100000 sheep. Re-
ports of the different forest supervis-
ors have just been totaled at the Of
flee of the district forester at Missoula
to obtain these figures.
The first of the cattle herds enter
ed the forests May Is, occupying the
lower ranges in certain favored local
tiles where the grass starts earliest.
Sheep use the highest ranges and are
not admitted until July 1.
More than 1000 cattle men and
nearly 500 sheep men will participate
this year in the use of the forest
ranges; the average number of cattle
per permit being So and the average
number of sheep 1880. The tendency
is toward smaller focks, especially
sheep. Eleven years ago the average
number Of sheep was /, $50, or more
that 80 per cent greater than at pres
emit. The stock Of all classes is prac-
tically all owned by bona fide ranchers
in or near the forests, whose success
depends on the continued use of the
summer range in the mountains.
The investment in the stock which
use the National Forests and in the
ranches necessary for wintering them,
amounts to several million dollars and
the annual income is such as to make
it an important factor in the states
prosperity 1t is estimated that the
lamb crop alone from the sheep which
use the National Forests this year,
will have a sale value of $3,500,000,
while the vol crop will bring in an
additional $1,500,000.

Sisters Ask Share
In Clark Estate

Butte, May 29,-Anna E. Clark
Hines, Effe Clark McWilliams and
Addie L. Clark Miller of Missouri,
who claim daughters share in the es-
tate of the late Senator William A.
Clark, few weeks ago filed COM
plant in district court against all leg
atees of the Clark will in their effort
to have the Clark will set aside and
to have themselves judicially declared
legitimate daughters of Senator Clark
and heir-at-law to the estate.
The complaint, according to Snyder
Sanner, of counsel for the estate, will
be answered Wednesday.
The complaint AYERS that Senator
Clark died in New York, March 2,
1925, and that his will was admitted
to probate in district court here, April
6, 1925. The plaintiff contend that
the will Contrary to the intention of
the maker thereof" failed to devise or
bequeath any sum of money or any
property to the plaintiffs and that it
also failed to provide that they should
not receive portion of the estate.
They declared that the will is in
valid and without effect and that each
of the plaintiffs is entitled to share in
the estate to the same extent as if
said deceased had died without hav-
ing made any attempt to make a Will
The Missouri women assert that the
will is void and that none of the lega-
tees is entitled to receive any sum or
any property by reason of its pro-
visions.
The claimants ask that the will be
annulled and that the property be dis
tributed to heirs-at-law as if no will
had been attempted; that the plain
tiffs be declared the legitimate daugh-
ters of Senator Clark and heirs-at-law
to his estate; that each and all be
declared entitled to receive the por-
ton of the estate given them by the
Montana laws of succession, less the
cost of administration, and that the
plaintiffs recover their costs
A copy of Senator Clark's will is at
tached to the complaint.
