IS FILED ON
COURT STAY ORDER

A brief by the respondent in the
case Of the Yale Oil Co, VS.. The
Farmers Oil Co. OF PlentyWood, re-
spondent, was submitted to the sup
rene court this week by Atty. Grant
Blackwell.
A brief by the PLAINTIFFS attorneys,
Howard M. Lewis and P. Leonard of
Miles City was recently submitted to
the court, and was the first case to
appear on the docket of that body.
The case involves an order by the
district court of Sheridan county
staying a foreclosure sale of which
the Yale Oil company obtained a
Judgment against the Farmers Oil
company for $5,S01 and the sale OF
mortgaged premises of the latter.
The case is one in which the mort
gage moratorium act Of the 1933-34
relief legislature was invoked.
An execution was placed in the
hands of the sheriff, but before he
could proceed further, the attorney
for the defendant moved for q stay
of execution under the moratorium
act, and Judge S. e. Paul set aside
the sale and other proceedings to
March |, 1885. However, the court
imposed as a contingency that the
defendant pay the sheriff's costs and
a monthly rental Of $75, for reten.
ton and use Of the property.
In opposing the stay, the attorneys
for the Yale company contend the
moratorium act Is unconstitutional
and violates vested rights.
1t is expected that a decision will
be given In February.

kefusal TO accept a legitimate job
Will hereafter be grounds for remov.
nl from tho states relief rolls, Dr.,
w. j Butler, state relief administrat-
or, has announced.
At a meeting of the Montana Re

that when a man Is offered a legiti-
mate job, which he Is capable of fill
ing, and does not accept that job, he
shall be subject to removal from the
relief rolls, the administrator said.
The action, he stated, was prompt
ed by continued reports that this
abuse Of the privileges Of relief is
taking place in some other states.
DR.. Butler said that although there
Is now little question of the eligibil-
ity of Montana's relief load. almost
free Of "chislers' by a militant re-
working Of relief rolls during the
past months, 1t is. hoped that relief
clients will accept any employment
that offers funds comparable to their
present budget.
with few exceptions it is the sin
cere hope Of the clients, too, that
they accept relief only as a means
of tiding-over until employment Is
available. 1t is not to our liking"
the administrator emphasized. when
we hear of a client violating our
faith and the faith of his fellow dest-
itute by refusing to accept employ
ment when offered"

NO CATTLE CAN BE
BOUGHT WITHOUT
AGENT SAYS
Final Date Set to List Will
Be Dec. 20 In Sheridan
County

Those who still have a surplus oil
cattle for which it Is difficult to Sc
cure feed. should list them with the
Emergency Cattle Purchase Office al
once, states County Agent Carl Pet.
erson. Listing will only be accepted
for q limited time. At a meeting OF
the Drought Service Committee held
last Monday, the closing date for &C
cepting listing was set for Thursday
December 20. 1t is the opinion OF
the committee that by that date ev-
cry farmer In the county who had
cattle to sell would have time to list
them with the county extension of.
flee in Plentywood.
Those In charge of the Cattle Pur-
chase Program in the United States
are urging the state office to close
the listing at the earliest possible
date while the county office wishes
to ascertain where the cattle are
coming from and how many there
will be at an early date, in order to
arrange a definite shipping schedule
for the convenience of producers.
A check up OF the recent drought
feed survey indicates that there Is
not enough hay available in the state
to feed the number of cattle remain
ing, hence the opening of the pur-
chase program again. Nearly two
million dollars has been ~allocated to
Montana for the purchase OF pprox
imately 112, 900 head of cattle. This
should be ample to meet the present
emergency In the counties where
cattle must be sold for lack of feed.
While most Of Sheridan county
farmers reduced their herds when
the AAA purchasing program was In
progress two months ago, or sold
them through regular trade channels,
there are still a number who did not
make the necessary reductions eth
er because stock was listed too late
to be accepted under the government
program. or because the price SEIZED
ule appeared too low, others were in
hope that prices would be higher in
1895, and ~endeavored to ecu feed
loans to carry a large number
through until spring. 1t appears now
that the Farm Credit Administration
Is reluctant to advance money to pur-
chase high priced feed merely for
speculation purposes, hence they are
making rather severe cuts In the
amounts applied for, except in cases
OF subsistence herds. 1t Is quite
probable that where no reductions
have been made further credit can
not be extended, except for small
subsistence herds.
While 1t is regretted that further
reductions must be made in the
cattle retained on the farms, never
theless 1t appears to be the only
method for conserving the small feed
resources now available which Is
needed to carry a limited number OF
head safely through until new grass
Is ready for grazing next spring.
Application blanks may be had at
the Emergency Cattle Purchase Of
flee, In Plentywood. Where 1t Is not
convenient to call for them, write to
the county agent, state the number
OF head for sale. the section, town
chip and range where the cattle are
located, and the address OF the pro-
Queer. They will then fill out the
papers to be signed at the
time the cattle are received at the
shipping point.
No cattle can be accepted unless

In consideration of Mr.. Raaen's
letter the county commissioners
We're advised that they had no auth
ority to make a recount OF votes, and
that the only recourse was for the
county superintendent to institute &
formal contest of the election of his
successful opponent.
In filing a contest it Is necessary
to file a petition with the Judge O
the district court, citing the causes
for such petition, and asking for a
recount of the votes. At the same
time the person or persons bringing
such contest must file a cash bond
sufficient to guarantee all the costs
covering such action. If the judge
finds just u for granting the
petition he would perhaps designate
a special canvassing board to make
the recount of all the ballots cast for
those particular offices.
Thy law requires that such petit
lions contesting any candidates ell,
eetion must be filed within 40 days
Of the day OF election, which would
make next Monday the last day that
such an action could be started.

Somewhere in this city, thinks Miss Katehrine Crowley of the pro- bation office, there must be job for a man as industrious and de- termined as one she saw Saturday night.
 Miss Crowley happened to visit his home and found the man busily working at patching his sons trousers, trying to make them them presentable enough for Eas- ter Sunday. His wife was alarming stockings belonging to their other child.
 The husband, Miss Crowley learned hasn't been able to get work for weeks, though he tramp ed the streets day after day. He and his wife have been trying to make both ends meet, but it's been pretty difficult.
 He is willing to do any kind of work to keep his home going and care for his family. If someone has work for him, he can be reached through Wallace Inglis at the mu- tual aid office.
