SNOWFALL Causes
Loss Of Baby's Eye

WILLISTON, N. D.-As the re-
suit of a SNOWFALL playfully but
sadly m~isdirected, the 9-month-old
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Stilwell,
who live about 10 miles northwest
of Williston, has lost the sight of
one eye and is in a local hospital
recovering from the operation ne
cessary to care for the injury.
The accident happened when the
Stilwells, driving to Williston,
passed the Palmer schoolhouse a
few miles from Williston. A boy
in the school yard threw a snow
ball at a boy who was riding on
the hood of the Stilwell ar. The
ball struck the windshield, shat
tering the glass, and a piece of
the glass struck the baby's face,
cutting a deep cash into the eye
and cheek.
The child was hurried to the
hospital where it was found that
the cut was too deep to leave
any hope of saving the eye, and
it was thereupon removed and sew
eral stitches taken to close UP the
cut in the cheek.

Flood at Sidney

Flood at Sidney
SIDNEY, Jan. 1S.-The Yellow
stone river here, % miles above
the month where it empties into
the Missouri rive.r, is out of its
banks and running to the second
bench caused as the result of a
solid ice jam, the gorge being six
miles long and extending across
the river.
No loss of life or stock has been
reported, due to work of county
and city officers, who, during the
night, covered the territory with
warnings as the slowly moving
jam caused water to flood the low
lands.
Loss of alfalfa hay in bottoms
will be serious, according to Geo.
T. O'Brien, Richland county sher-
iff. Some farms are under water,
with the stock wading in mire.
Efforts to save stock has been
successful in every case. 1t is re-
ported that the Missouri river has
no ice on it and when the ice
gorge reached that river, the sit
uation should be alleviated.
Trouble at Chinook
CHINOOK, Jan. 1S.-The Jan
uary thaw which caused flooded
conditions in northern Montana
has frozen up, leaving many acres
of land under water and ice. Be
tween Havre and Chinook the
highway was under water in sew
eral places and Milk river was
out of it's banks near the black
bridge, so it kept farmers and
ranchers from getting in from the
Bear Paw mountains.
The freezeup will not be gen
orally appreciated by the stock
men for it leaves the range in a
bad condition, and will leave
many acres of land under snow
and ice until spring, unless an
other chinook wind comes along.

Byron Yates, A. U
Official, is Very Ill

LIVINGSTON, Jan. 15.-Byron
Yates, state superintendent of the
Ancient Order of United Work
men, is in a critical condition at
a hospital, suffering from paraly-
sis of his right side.
Mr.. Yates, whose home is in
Great Falls, has been in Livings-
ton to reorganize the local chap
ter of the organization he repre-
sents. He is well known in the
state, having come to Montana IL
years ago from North Dakota.
Four years ago he was chairman
of the republican county central
committee at Great Falls. Before
moving to Great Falls he had
lived in Sidney, Mont.

fering in any way with Mrs. Rob
inson's custody of the children, al
though the court ordered that
Clyde Robinson, the father, might
visit the children at all reason
able times.
Important Decision
In rendering his decision, Judge
Leiper stated that, upon investi-
eating the questions of law, he
had no doubt but what the court
had full jurisdiction in the matter,
the child followed the home of the
parents, and the home of both
parents being in Montana, the
home home of the child Lita is
here. Moreover, the father, Clyde
Robinson, defendant in the action,
being within the jurisdiction OF
the court and having been served
with process here, the court had
full jurisdiction in the matter.
1t is understood that there has
never been a similar case come
up in the courts of Montana, and
Judge Leiper's decision will there
fore establish a precedent which
will be valuable should other sim
liar cases come up in the future.
Judge Leiper addressed some
very solemn remarks to Clyde
Robinson regarding contempt OF
court and also gave him a serious
talk on the obligation of a wit
ness to disclose the whole truth.
Divorce Granted

when it had been taken there by
its own father.
Grandmother Takes Child
The cases were re-opened in
Glasgow last Friday, when the
attorneys on both sides, Clyde
Robinson, Mrs. Robinson and the
two children were all in court. At
this time Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Robin
son, parents of Clyde Robinson,
and grandparents of Lita, the
child in question, were called as
witnesses. Their testimony show
ed that on December 2 Clyde Rob
inson had given his mother, Mrs.
Ben Robinson, a written order di-
rected to Mrs. Baume at Cassel-
ton, requesting her to turn the
child, Lita Robinson, over to her
grandmother. Mrs. Robinson OBJ
tanned custody of the child on De-
cember 18th and brought her to
Williston where they remained a
week. Then they went to Spring
brook, N. Oak, returning to Will
liston about Dec. %. On the wit
ness stand on Dec. 21st, Robinson
testified that so far as he knew
Lita was at that time with Mrs.
Baume at Casselton. On Deem
ben %, the day after the hearing,
Mrs. Ben Robinson returned with
the child to Nashua, after a tele-
phone call from her husband, and
went from there to her home in
Larslan. On the stand last week
Clyde Robinson testified that he
had no knowledge that the child
had been moved until December
23.
Custody to Mother
At the conclusion of the hearing
Judge Leiper signed a court order
awarding the temporary custody
of both children to Mrs. Clyde
Robinson, the mother, and also
ordered the payment of $50 a
month to her by Clyde Robinson.
This upheld Judge Gordon's rul-
ing in the matter when the cas-
came up before him here in No
vember. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Rob
inson were enjoined from taking
the children out of the state.
Clyde Robinson and all other per-
sons were enjoined against inter

600 Sheep Drown
BILLINGS, Jan. 14.-All but
one of the family of five maroon
ed on their island home in the
Yellowstone river near Waco last
night had been rescued early this
morning and a boat had been sent
back after the other, Ira Hill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Hill and
their two small children found
their home surrounded by water
yesterday when an ice gorge in
the river raised the water level to
cover their little island arm. They
prepared to spend the night in
tree tops but it was not necessary
last night though today the flood
is worse than ever. A report
from Custer says a band of 500
to 600 head of sheep drowned al
most opposite the island.
Lodgegrass reports that the ice
dam which caused a flood condi.
ton in the Little Big Horn river
threatening the town, has broken.
Rescue Attempted
Several attempts of a rescue
party of II men to reach the fam
lily last night we're unsuccessful
and the rescue party returned to
Custer.
The party reached a point near
the island, but because OF the
treacherous condition of the river
and the wooded section in which
the family lives, it was impossible
to make a landing.
All streams in this district are
running bank-full, some of them

so flooded and the water entered
several buildings near the river.
A gorge near the mouth of Fly
creek caused that stream to over
flow and flood the Yellowstone
trail near Pompeys Pillar. An
other gorge near a Northern Pa
ciic bridge was dynamited last
night by a crew from Billings.
Roads last night in the Billings
area were impossible. More than
10 inches of snow and slush was
piled up throughout the region.

watchmen on the stream to warn
of any new rise and the railway
companies are maintaining the
same vigil. The Northern Pacific
is paying particular attention in
that section of its newly con
structed grades on the Circle

Ice Forms Wall
Among the narrowing experie-
noes of the Yellowstone flood was
that of Eugene Brusseau. Cakes
of ice during Friday night formed
a wall 400 feet high a mile below
Glendive. Brusseau, a truck driver
Glendive. Brusseau, a truck far
mer, wakened yesterday morning
by the roar of water, found his
home surrounded by a raging, ice
packed stream. He placed his wife
and two small children on a sad
die horse and started for higher
ground. They were rescued an
hour later by railroad men and
taken to a hospital at Billings
where Brusseau is in a critical
condition from exposure.
Knute Skartved, bachelor ranch
er west of Glendive, walked yes
terday morning to hear water lap
ping the sides of his bed. He
climbed to the attic and was mar
roned there.
City Engineer Rushes
City Engineer R II. Hurdle of
Glendive heard the roaring water
at midnight, took his wife and six
small children in an automobile
and reached the city after a frant-
ic drive through two feet of icy
water.
The William Jams family are
marooned in the second story of
their house on the river bottom
west of the end of the Red Trail
highway bridge. They telephoned
that they are able to wait for the
water to recede.
Behind the ice jam which form
ed below Glendive last night, the
water rose more than Is feet in
less than six hours, but broke at
IL o'clock yesterday morning. The
family of Elmer Hill, marooned on
their island farm in the Yellow
stone neal Waco Friday night was
rescued yesterday.
At Havre, the Milk river had
returned to normal and the tenn
perature dropped to 10 above zero
after maintaining a level of 80 to
so aboce since January 4. Most of
the snow accumulation of the past

fall started today. Eight inches

Alaska Salesman
 Outstrips Hundred
 Of His Teammates

After 30 years of Alaska during Vh1ch I have lived here and then vibrated back and forth, I have a full-sized hunch that Alaska is coming back for a long spell of prosperity" said A. J. Nelson of the Mutual Life, who with Mrs Nelson, ..2as just completed an extensive

 Out of 100 agents representing Western Washington and Alaska, MT. Nelson headed the list in sales accomplishments for the month of September, which he considers a fair barometer of business condi- tons in the Territory because it was here that he got the business to out strip his colleagues in the selling of life insurance.
 Mrs Nelson had not been in the Territory for 20 years since the time she had lived in Fairbanks and as she rolled along over smooth roads was astounded at the pro- eress made and hte scenery afford ed. T never dreamed that such things would come to pass in Alas ka," she said.
