Ole c. HANSON GETS
VERDICT in CIVIL SUIT

A civil suit came up before
Judge Gordon Wednesday in which
Ole C. Hanson sued c. NJ. Pad
gett for S225 and interest at 8
per cent since last October. 1t was
alleged that Hanson took out a
tractor on trial, with the under
standing that if it worked he
would trade in five work horses
to Padgett on the account. 1t was
claimed that, although an expert
mechanic was hired to put the
tractor in order, it would not work.
Hanson notified Padgett that such
was the case and considered the
deal off. In the meantime Padgett
had got possession of the horses
which he shipped and sold. This
was about Oct. II, 1880. Up to date
Hanson claims that Padgett has
not made settlement with him for
the horses.
Padgett denied the allegations
relative to the agreement regard
ing the deal between himself and
Hanson, and said that he had sold
the tractor outright to Hanson,
taking the horses in payment.
There appeared to have been no
written agreement between the
two.
After hearing the evidence Judge
Gordon found in favor of Hanson.

Drought Relief Committee. Our
Executive Board, in regular SEES

Therefore, you are asked to def

Red Cross chapter in it's drive to
raise funds for drought relief. This
is a crisis in Montana history,
and calls for the closest coopera-

The problem that confronts us
is the feeding, clothing, and keep

thousand people who, because of
the drought, find it impossible to
care for themselves. The Red

Announcement was made Thurs
day that the headquarters offices
OF the Great Northern are to be
moved from Havre to Great Falls

a Great Falls date line says in
part:
Mileage constituting the Mon
tana division of the road will be
divided between the Butte and
Kalispell divisions.

line, with it's branches while the
Kalispell division operates the
line from Sweet Grass to Butte,
Great Falls to Billings, Great Falls

Under the new arrangement,
which will become effective Oct

The Butte division, which hereto
fore has operated no main line,
will have supervision not only of
it's present lines but the main line
east of Pacific Junction and of
the branches in the northeastern
part of the state.

of their profits and bringing
into action against them the
irresistible forces of economic
law. 1t is essential that this
