TOPPLING MOUNTAIN FEARED

Farming people OF the Arbedo val
ley, in Switzerland, have been warned
by the Swiss geological survey that
they must leave the valley with all
possible speed, for at any moment
Mount Arbino is likely to topple into
the valley. For long time the
mountain has been known to be
sliding. At first its summit moved
about one inch every II months, but
in recent years it has travelled IA
inches. During the coming year
heavy rains and numerous earth
quakes are expected to precipitate
catastrophe, burying the farms un-
der tons of debris. Farmers are leav-
ing the valley as speedily as posi-

Nebraska has only a one-year agree

Auto Turns Over
But Damage Slight

Wilbur Baker of Poplar, driving
his 1927 Ford coupe, was crowd
ed into the mud-filled ditch beside
the highway east of town by a
passing car, shortly after mid
night Wednesday morning. The
car turned over once and was left
lying on it's side, but practically
unchanged. Five young people
were seated inside the coupe at
the time and three more boys
were standing on the running
board, but the only one who re-
ceived any injuries worth men
tioning was Miss Nellie Nesbit of
Poplar, who was taken Immediate
ly to the Deaconess hospital,
where her injuries were found to
be more painful than serious and
she left for home the following
afternoon.
The young people had just arriv-
ed in Glasgow to attend the cele-
bration on the Fourth and were
on their way to one of the coun-
try dances being held that night.

(both in and out of the county at
torney's office ourselves, and ante
dating the establishment of your
county or Sheridan county from
which it sprang), we have never
known a county attorney more
consistently opposed to the hiring
of outside aid, or whose admins
tration was more economical in
that respect.
If any criticism could be made,
it would be that you and Mr.. Foor
have sometimes taken too much
upon yourselves, considering the
salaries you have received, and
also, in an effort to save money
for the County, have done work
of a clerical and stenographic ma
ture which few other county attor-
neys ever undertake to do, and
which, we may venture to say you
should not have done.
Very truly yours,

Attorneys Hurly and Kline Set Rucker
Right on Outside Legal Seruice Matter

was confronted with immense
losses, with lawsuits of the grav-
est nature, and with some of the
most intricate and battling legal
problems ever raised, so far as
we know, in this part of Montana.
When you took office we had
made numerous Investigations,
and were engaged in proceedings
in both federal and district courts,
commenced wholly upon our adj
vice and of which we alone had
any intimate knowledge. 1t would
have been unfair to you, and an
injustice to the taxpayers of
Roosevelt county, had the board
asked you to assume the respon-
sibility of litigation about which
you had never been consulted and
with the details of which you
could not but be entirely unfam-
iliar. To have then taken the con-
duct of the litigation from us
would have been as foolish as to
relieve a general from command
during the heat of a battle yet In
decided and to put in his place a
soldier who knew not the number
or disposition of his troops or the
plan upon which they were engag-
ed. Such a course would have
jeopardized every interest of the
County, and of that unwisdom no
Board would have been guilty. We
were simply retained to complete
what we had begun, when to begin
something was imperative, and to
begin it with outside help lowing
to the illness of Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. Schoening already mentioned)
unacceptable. The magnitude and
Importance to the county of the
interests with which we were in
trusted, and the utter impossible
ity of n change in attorneys
long after the actual war in the
courts had commenced, (however
willingly we concede your unQues-
tionable capacity had you been
consulted in the beginning), is at
once apparent when we say that
our employment continued over a
period of more than four years
and involved Investigations in four
states, and in six counties in this
state, and a dozen and nor law
suits in Montana, Minnesota and
North Dakota, in Federal and dis
trict courts, and in the Supreme
court of this state, in attachment
proceedings, bankruptcy proceed

ATTY. HUGH N. MARION,
Wolf Point, Montana.

Wolf Point, Montana.
Dear Sir:
Our attention has been called to
an advertisement of Mr.. J.. E.
Rucker regarding the employment
of outside counsel by Roosevelt
county during your term of office.
We doubtless are the counsel in
tended.
While we have no interest in
the pending campaign in Roose-
welt county, and have the friendli-
est feeling and the highest regard
for the integrity and professional
competence of both Mr.. Foor and
Mr.. Rucker, if the advertisement
is intended as a reflection upon
your administration we do feel
that an explanation of our employ
ment is only fair to you, Mr.. Foor
and the voters of Roosevelt coun-
ty.
That employment (save in one
instance only, to be mentioned
later arose out of the losses sus-
tanned by the county in the clos
ing of The First National Bank
and the Stockmen's National
Bank of Poplar, The State Bank
of Culbertson and The Security
State Bank of Wolf Point. The
banks closed in the latter part of
the year 1928, or in the early part
of 1924, and we were engaged by
the Board if memory serves, at
the meeting in January, 1924, long
before the beginning of your term
as County Attorney, or, so far as
we know, long before you ever
contemplated assuming the duties
of that office. The employment
indeed was made over the protest
of the Roosevelt County Bar as
sociation, a committee of whom,
composed, we believe, of yourself,
Mr.. Ericsson, of Poplar, and Mr..
Walton, of Bainville, waited upon
the Board. We think the objec-
ton was that some attorney resi-
dent in Roosevelt county should
have been engaged. The necessity
for hiring some one Immediately
was apparent and admitted by
everybody. The county attorney,
Brown, excellent gentleman
that he was and is, was i'll and not
expected to live, and indeed re-
signed before his term expired;
his successor, poor Harry Schoen-
ing, for whom we all had the ut
most admiration and love, was
suffering from the first of those
strokes which ultimately caused
his untimely death. The county

Mr.. Cudhie has. AS a student of
law, he has perhaps few equals in
the state. He has won the re-
spect and confidence of the attor-
neys because of his ability and
fairness, which undoubtedly ac-
counts for the fact that nearly all
the attorneys in the three coun-
ties support his candidacy.
THAT Mr.. Cudhie has all the
qualifications of a good, able and
impartial judge, is without ques-
ton. If nominated and elected,
the litigations of the district will
be treated fairly and derive the
benefit of his learning, ability and
fairness. He has always been a
Republican and his name will be
found on the Republican ballot on
July 18th"

in the preparing of typewriter
and printed briefs, totalling alto
gether hundreds of pages. The
examination of a single bankrupt,
involving large business transac-
tions covering many years and the
books of account of a mercantile
business, extending for days, and
the briefs, records and exhibits
would fill several bound volumes.
The examination of another de-
PENDANT traced his entire business
from about the year 1907 and re-
suited in the recovery of thous-
ands of dollars. So close and diff
ficult was one case that the Su-
preme court granted a rehearing
after a decision squarely in u
favor-fortunately we had already
effected a settlement advantag-
o u to the County.
Upon examining our books we
find but one instance in which we
were employed during your term,
the appeal of the County in the
case of the City of Wolf Point
against Neil McFarlan, county
treasurer. We prepared the rec
ord in that appeal, as you and Mr..
Foor were trying cases for the
County and under the rules the
record had to be filed before you
were disengaged. For this we
were paid $4,000. Immediately
upon the termination of the trials,
you took sole charge of the litiga-
ton, prepared the briefs, made
the oral argument before the Su-
preme Court and conducted the
appeal to a successful conclusion.
We may add that in Il expef-

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

The County Commissioners OF Roosevelt County
feel that it is their duty to advise the public as to the
true conditions surrounding the statements contain
ed in a political advertisement by j. E. Rucker, can
didate for County Attorney.
Hurry & Kline were employed by Roosevelt
County in January 1924, a year before Hugh N. Mar
ron, the present county attorney, took office. This
employment wa rendered necessary by the illness of
L.. A. Brown, county attorney. The First National
Poplar; the Security State Bank of Wolf Point; and
the State Bank of Culbertson, had closed their doors,
and approximately $50, 100000 of county money was
in those four banks at that time. A proper resolution
was passed in January 1924 to this effect that could
have been seen by Mr.. Rucker if he had checked the
county records. The present County Attorney and
his assistant, Arlie M. Foor, were no way responsible
for this employment or this expense.
The total sum Of $4,000 was paid out during the
three and one-half years the present county attor-
ney has served Roosevelt County. This expenditure
rendered during the trial of the Schalps case
when the County Attorney could not attend to other
duties at this time.
This statement is made for the purpose of setting
the true facts before the public so that it may know
that the Board of County Commissioners have not at
side attorneys for work coming up during Mr.. Mar
rons administration, with the exception of the $50
item mentioned.
