ANOTHER NOTICEABLE CASE

When w. c. Adams was appointed to a vacancy on the Roosevelt
county board it was because the people of that commissioner district
held two mass meetings Zone in the country and one in town. and by
a overwhelming vote endorsed him. These were people among whom
he had lived for more than 20 years. That is the test of whether a
person is of the nature to win and hold the confidence and admtra-
ton of those who know him well and long.
Mr.. Adams is now a member of the county board and his year
or more of work has proven him well suited and qualified for the
important position. He is experienced in business, he is deeply interest
ed in the welfare OF his county where all he has is invested, and
for the farmers interests, a member of the Farmers Union, but he
is broad and liberal and Believes that a fair, square deal for all is
the surest way to prosperity. It is a pleasure to endorse "Bir
Adams and solicit your vote for him for county commissioner, next

And there is the tight little race for sheriff, the best job in the
county. Henry Lowe has made a good sheriff in his first term. He is
active and gets some of the bad ones to plead guilty so they do not
have to be convicted. But there is John w. Moran, also a candidate
equipped with a lot of experience in the early days OF the county,
and plenty of ability, and personality plus.

Lander Causes
No Trouble on Way
To Penitentiary
Paid 500 for Disclosing Hiding Place
of Travellers Checks-Says He
Should Have Gone Straight.

IF had known Is years ago what
| know now | believe | would have
lived straight life said Joe Lander,
convicted Libby bank robber in casual
conversation with Sheriff F. R. Baney
while on the way last week to the
penitentiary at Deer Lodge
That was, apparently, the only indi-
cation he gave during the time he was
in the custody Of Sheriff Baney that
he felt the slightest regret for his mis-
deeds His attitude most Of the time
was that of one obsessed with the idea
that robbery is a great heroic business
and he seemed boastful Of the times
that he had outwitted officers and was
evidently proud of such exploits. He
also talked considerably of his mother,
told the sheriff that she lived in Win
nipeg but when asked her name ap-
peared not to have heard the ques-
ton.
Lander gave no trouble, whatever, to
the officers while in their custody, al
though he remarked twice to Sheriff
Baney, You are fool if you think
! will not try to escape if / get The
opportunity" Baney took no chances
and gave him not the slightest op-
portunity to attempt escape at any time.
He was cordial with the officers here
and visited freely with them, joking
with the officers and the other pris-
oner, George Reynolds, who was being
taken to hte penitentiary to serve two
years sentence Sheriff Baney was ac-
companied by George Blackford and
Ed. Holmgren as deputies, and they left
Libby with the prisoners last Friday.
Discloses Hiding Place.
Before leaving for the penitentiary
Lander agreed to disclose the hiding
place of the travellers checks which
he had taken from the bank, provided
he were paid $500 for cigarette money
while in prison" he said. The National
City Bank of New York and the
American Express company (who had
issued the checks) were communicated
with and agreed to pay Lander what
he had asked. Accompanied by Sheriff
Baney, to whom he was handcuffed
and by other deputies, and carefully
guarded, Lander led them into the /
timber just south of the city and with
only very little search pointed out
the checks. He had first placed the
checks in paper sack and then laid
them between two pieces of bark, de-
posting the parcel at the side of a |
large tamarack log They were found
about mile west of the Ed Monahan
house The checks added up to $7,45O.00.
Lander also gave the sheriff a pen
ciled map showing him where he
could find two rifles which Lander
claims to have secreted.
Ralph Tone, who as assistant cash
er of the Libby bank had been held
up by Lander, called on the bandit
while in the Jail here. Lander pro-
essed not to recognize Tone, remark
ng that there had been so many of his
victims that he could not keep track of
all Of them. Tone bought Of Lander
he revolver with which he had been
held up, paying Lander $500 for it.

Defective Wiring Causes Fire.

Fire broke out this morning about
. o'clock in the log building at the
corner of Mineral avenue and Fifth
street, occupied by Mrs, Lena Lowe.
The interior was completely Quilted
The cause of the fire was defective
wiring, installed by an amateur, &C
cording to Fire Chief Hoffman. Nu-
merous wires had been run from the
main lead or feed wire, with fuses SO
large that they would not blow on.
when the line was overloaded. The
result was that the feed wire was
heavily overloaded, thus became very
hot and set the building on fire.
