CARBON COUNTY DIS
TRICT COURT REVERSED

The district court for Carbon coun-
ty was reversed by the supreme court
today under an order which the court
sought, several months after an order
of foreclosure was made, to release
Mary F. Long from personal liabil-
ity for judgment. The Edgar State
Bank secured judgment against Mary
F. and James f. Long and others,
foreclosing a mortgage. More than
six months after the decree was en-
tered, the court attempted to modify
it by eliminating a part which held
that Mary F. Long was personally
liable for judgment and which requir-
ed payment of rent due on the prop
erty. The bank claimed that the
court was without jurisdiction, at
that time, to make the change. It
from an adverse judgment.

ROAD CONTRACTORS
ARE READY TO START

G. A. Welch and G. B. Wilson, OF
the Wilson & Welch Construction
Company, of Cowley, Wyo., success
full bidders for the contract Of Grad
ing. l3.0l5 miles of the Bridger- Wy
oming state line road, arrived here
Wednesday, with their livestock and
equipment and are preparing to start
work on the project.
The contractors and their equip
ment came here from Miles City
where they have recently completed
some highway construction work.
With condemnation proceedings
pending on part of the highway as
proposed and surveyed last fall, it Is
very probable that the contractors
will not begin any work north of the
river crossing until later. South of
the river, the right-of has been
secured for such changes in the route
as are required in federal aid pro-
jects.
The new highway, as surveyed last
fall, and as accepted by the Bureau
of Public Roads, will not follow close
~ to the present highway. Leaving
Brldger at the south end of Main
street, the route surveyed strikes
straight for the proposed river cross
ing near the. site of the present Bos-
tic bridge. This proposed change
IN the highway route is that part for
which right-of-way is being sought
under condemnation process, the land
owners and the state highway com
mission right of-way agent failing
to come to terms for the land in
volved
Beyond the bridge southwark, the
route is again diverted from the pres
ent highway, offering considerable
saving in distance.
The project contemplated for grad
ng this year will extend from Bridr
r to some distance beyond Wade,
L3015 miles.
Following the customary proceed
ire, the grade on this part of the
project will be done this year, and
lext year money being available, it
will be surfaced. 1t is also probable
hat the connecting stretch to COM
'lete the highway to the state line
will be listed as project for grad
ne next Bridger Times.

THIS Is A FISH STORY
TRUTH rs NOT IN IT

Here is fish story. Believe it or
not, but every word is true and it is
not likely that it occurs in many
places in just the same manner.
In certain town in Wyoming a
printing office is built directly over
a mountain stream. When the pa
per is printed, the printers all take
a fishing trip. All they have to do
is to open a trap door in the floor
and drop their lines in, Some class.
as there is no walking to do.
But in Red Lodge two ardent
sportsmen find fishing good on the
second floor of the building in which
they have their offices. All they have
to do is to unwrap the bundle of
newspaper and reposing inside find
nice, fresh trout, all dressed and
ready for the skillet. THERE'S no eff
fort to that.

CHANGES IN CRIMINAL
LAWS WORTH KNOWING

A few of the more important chan
ges in Montana Criminal laws as en-
acted by the Montana Legislature iT
1929, according to County Attorney
f. P. Conwell, are those that have to
do with the indeterminate sentence
and intoxicated drivers of automo-
biles.
The indeterminate sentence law fo1
the sentencing of criminals has been
repealed, so that now it is the duty
of the Court to sentence a convict
for a definite term in accordance
with the discretion permitted by the
statute.
What is known as the Drunken
Drivers Law provides for Jail
sentence of thirty days to six months
for any intoxicated driver who in
lures another in a collision of any
kind; for a penitentiary term of six
months to five years where the. col
lision results in a fatality; and for
a term of five to twenty years where
any attempt shall be made by any
driver, drunk or not, to conceal his
identity in any way after having in
jured another person or damaged an
others property in collision.
In commenting on the so-called
Drunken Drivers Law Mr.. Con-
we'll states that while the law itself
needs no extended Interpretation,
those who are addicted to the habit
do, and, therefore he offers some ad-
vice which is more ethical than legal,
for which, he says, he makes no
charge whatsoever, as follows:
"Should any of the bibulous, or
whatever you call EN-, feel the urge
to take a little spin while drinking,
he should, first of all, go out to his
garage and sort of go over the old
boat, see that the balance wheel is
working, examine all the wings and
strings and things and be satisfied
that they are all intact, see that there
is plenty of gas and OIL and, if he
can stand it, take look in the ra-
diator and survey the water supply
on hand
The tires should be carefully ex-
amined, and, above all, the steering
wheel should be working to I. AT
ter all the foregoing has been at
tSnuGu VS. Idli OliS vi bliC ldiIli,
send over to the hardware store and
get the strongest paddock to be had.
Leave the car just where it is, pad
lock the garage door, hand the key
to the wife and tell her he feels like
he is coming down with the Flu or
hit the hay and forget it.
There is one hotel here in town
called the "Hotel Albert 1t has
fine, strong equipment, substantial
beds, water works, electric lights
and every modern convenience. 1t |
is the only place in town where room
and board bills fail to trouble. Then
over. at Deer Lodge there is the "Ho-
tel Austin B. Middleton" It's nice /
place, they say, with high stone walls,
small, though strongly built rooms,
lots of company and the meals on
time. One isn't worried over board
bills over there, either. That's what
hat law means. 1t means longer
ives and fewer deaths. 1t spells
some much needed safety and some
horse sense and it will
oe enforced to the letter, "if you know
what | mean"
