BAINVILLE FARMERS
FIGHT OVER FENCE

Bainville.-As a result of an alleged
land row and a fist fight between
James Mccain of Lanark and Jack
Miller of Bainville, two of the Oldest
ranchers in this part of the state,
the Bainville court is faced with one
of the most perplexing problems IL
has ever dealt with The trouble was
started over a line fence, which MIL
Ter contended was his property. he
set the fence off his territory ana
thereby placed it on McCann's land.
The two men quarreled over over IL;
then Mccain came to Miller's place
bringing along witnesses in the form
of his son and renewed the argu-
ment. The men finally came to blows
and Miller, who is about 30 pounds
lighter and several years older than
Mccain, received many injuries, none
of which were serious. After the
fight, Mccain and his son rode away,
but during the night the entire line
of fence was destroyed and both dis
putting parties say they had nothing ia
do with it. Miller came to Bainville
the next morning and had Mccain ar
! rested for assault, but he was releas
ed on bonds and his hearing was mo-
definitely set. Because of both be
ing old timers the trial is anXiousl!
awaited. Mccain is an old ranche1
and an uncle of Jack Mccain, heavy
weight prize fighter, who is making
a name for himself in the east.

Judge Leiper, of some fame in Plen-
tywood, figured up the principal and
interest of the note, and got it
wrong. The attorneys took the fig
ures of the Judge and they agreed
that if the plaintiff was entitled to
anything he was entitled to that
amount. The jury, however, although
all of them were farmers, by long ex-
perience in signing notes, and COM
petent to do this figuring for them
selves, determined that the Judge S
computation was wrong, so they made
him and the lawyers figure it all over
again and get it right. Olson's YER
dict was for $2.106.07, plus attorneys
fees.
There was no opposition to Mr.
Lewis demand for 5000 attorneys
fees and the opposition practically
agreed that if he was entitled to any.
thing he had that sum coming.
When the jury brought in its yer
dict, however, it allowed the eminen
counsellor $25. And it is said tina
the kidding he got from the jury OF
the street afterward, and the cigar
and soft drinks he had to buy them
must have cost him at least S25. Blu
his client sadi: "It vos worth man,

guy myself more as S25.

ing the sessions of 1903 and 1905
during which time he was instrument
al in sponsoring and obtaining the
passage u some of the most progress
Sive lcgl lation Montana has ever had.
1t was ~ the close oil his secod terri;
in the legislature that he moved to
Helena to practice his profession. He
had by that time won to a prominent
place not only in his profession in the
state, but in the political affairs of
Montana as we'll, politics ever having
been his chief interest aside from the
profession of medicine. In 1908 he
was chosen chairman of the state re-
publican central committee and two
years later was named as chairman of
the executive committee of that body.
He was also chairman of the Montana
delegation to the republican national
convention in 1912, the year of the
Bull Moose movement. DIR. Lanstrum
cast his lot with the regular republi-
can party, which that year went down
to defeat, as did also the progressives
headed by Theodore Roosevelt nation

In 1918 DR.. Lanstrum achieved ma

the distinction of being nominated fol

election.

FL Suffers on Account MP Scheme
There is, however,an aspect of the
situation that does not look quite so
good. While it is a simple matter
for the Farmer-Labor folks to NOM
mate their candidates for state and
congressional offices it is not an easy
matter to nominate legislators.
Legislators in Minnesota are NOM
mated on the "nonpartisan" ballot. In
other words, Republicans, Farmer
LaboriteS and Democrats all nomi-
nate from the same group of legisla-
tive candidates at the primary cleo
ton.
And thus it happens that the party
which fails to bring its members out
to the polls on primary election day
may find itself without candidates at
the general election. And this not
only may happen in districts where
the party is weak but has actually
happened in a number of districts
where the party is strong and could
elect its legislative candidates on
election day.

Reed Denies Looking Toward Vice

Houston, June 27.-Brushing aside
talk of the vice presidency, Senator
Reed of Missouri was rallying> his
forces about him for a fight to the
finish on the presidency today as his
allies from the south against Cover

the impending battle for dry plank
in the platform.
The militant Missourian gave form
al notice again last night that he
meant business when he issued a
statement denying a story published
in an early edition of a Houston pa
per indicating that Reed and his
friends were now looking longinglv
at the vice presidency.
1--WE will carry on the fight in good
faith to the very end and hope to
win," he said. 1--WE have not made
any trades for rconsidered any
other position than the presidency.
have refused at least 100 times to
permit discussion or consideration of
that matter"
But the drys from the southland
were less inclined to think about the
presidency today as the mounting
tide of Smith strength seemed to as
sure his nomination on an early bal.
lot and they were businly engaged ir
the desperate contest to obtain al
least dry palnk in the platform.
In fact, Cone Johnson, Texas del
egate who addressed a dry rally las
night, mentioned that it looked like
Smith would get the nomination "b!

Fire Cracker Ordinance
Should Be Observed

The firecracker ordinance of the
city of Plentywood apparently goes
unheeded by some of the youngsters
of this city and the parents of the
young folks should warn them that
this ordinance is in force and that
trouble may arise from not needing
the same. Just the other day a fire
cracker was exploded near a dry
cleaning establishment while business
was being carried on, and a fire of
large proportions might easily have
been started at the time from the re-
suit of the explosion. A little timely
advice at this time to told and young
may save thousands of dollars in pro-
perty to citizens of Plentywood.

The ten-year period expired on

The city was not in position to
take up any of the bonds now, so

BUILDER OF DAM GRIEF
STRICKEN BY TRAGEDY

LOS ANGELES, March PA
coroner's jury Wednesday heard
from the quivering lips of the man
who built the st. Francis dam
how silent warning came from
the reservoir itself that all was
not well II hours before the great
concrete thing collapsed and
dealt death in a mighty deluge
over little Santa Clara river val
ley.
The warning was the muddy
waters that trickled from the 1856
foot retaining wall, indicating, ac-
cording to the engineer, that con-
ditions were "bad, very bad"
that there was a leak through the
earth about the structure.
1t was William Mulholland, We
teran chief engineer of Los An
geles city's department of water
and power who gave the testi-
mony. In his face and figure re-
Elected the great tragedy of the
little valley. In the tears that
rolled down his cheeks and in the
sobs that shook his aged body,
could be seen the reaction to the
knowledge that probably more
than 400 persons had died when
the dam-his dam gave way be-
fore it's load of 12,OOO,O00,O0O gal
Ions of water.
Mulholland's testimony was
given in a dramatic hush.
At one point he gave way al
most completely to his emotions,
81 envy only those who are dead"
he said. 1--WE must have overlook
ed something"
He had visited st. Francis dam
in Francisquito canyon II hours |
before it's collapse. Leak condi-
tions were "bad, very bad" He
had gone to visit the structure at
the call of the keeper, Tony
Harshelfeger.
