LEO M'ELROY GOES
TO LOCAL HOSPITAL

Getting along the best he could
Leo McElroy lived in his little
shack here in Plentywood. Leo
has been sick for a long time
with diabetes, and had to live on
a diet. Leo preferred his. little
shack to the poor farm. The
neighbors were good to him and
looked after. him the best they
were able; there was Gronveld,
Jones. Jackson and others. :,
But il was cold and Leo ran
out of coal and his dinkv stove
ran out of fire. He froze one of
his skinny legs.
On Friday the doctor was called
and he declared the case serious
and ordered Leo taken to the hos
pital.
This was an emergency case and
it was up to the relief office to
act at once. But the relief office
didn't act. they just passed the
buck as they have done in other
cases. passed the buck to the
county commissioners and the
commissioners passed the buck to
someone else, but nobadv acted.
| All this time Leo was lying
there sick and with a frozen leg,
his condition rapidly growing
worse. Finally his neighbors were
not going to stand for this any
longer. They went to the Relief
office and to the county commits
sioners and demanded that Leo be
taken to the hospital at once.
Their action brought results. A
car was ordered and Leo was
taken to the hospital. But thi:
was on Tuesday evening. about
week after the doctor had giver
his order, which nobody with any
authority paid attention to.
Now Leo is in the hospital
where they are talking abou
amputating his leg, which coul'
no doubt have been prevented ha'
the man in charge of the relic
office acted at once instead OF
! passing the buck.
Here was an emergency case
pure and simple. It was the dut
of the Relief office to take car
of this case without DELAY. An
it is a crime and disgrace to tn
community, as well as to the stat
of Montana, having men in charg
of that office who neglect tAel

SPAULDNNG "CUTS"
RELIEF ESTIMATES
COOney's $1,000 Professor Says
Montana Doesn't Need $50 Much
Money" Now - Plan Further
Starvation of Masses to Save
Money for Rich

Professor Spaulding, the Relief
Director of Montana, in an inter-
view with the Associated Press a
few days ago, laid the foundation
for the reducing of the Federal
Emergency relief quota, by recon-
mending that the state legislature
need not provide revenues of more
than $750,000 to match federal
funds instead of the $780,
COO at first proposed when the
Legislature was called into special
session last fall by Gov. Cooney.

4 HELENA, Jan. 3.-With $4,000
of Montana's $4,000 unemployed
breadwinners now on federal pay
rolls, State Relief Director T. c..
Spaulding tonight estimated that
the. state might be able to meet re-
lief emergencies during 1884 with
$750,000 instead of an earlier es-
innate of $1,500,OO0.
The state relief head, who also
is chief of the civil works board,
said changed conditions brought
about by increased employment

COUNTY MONEY TO
BE SQUANDERED ON
TERM OF COURT.

The idea of having a term of

appealing to anybody except a
few lawyers.
Never in the history has the
county been as hard up as at the
present time. County warrants
are Just a, piece of paper that
might or might not be worth
something in years to come.
And now a term of court has
been called, costing the county
several thousand dollars more in
half worthless warrants, while
the people working for the county
can't get enough to eat out Of the
papeT-pav they are getting. Add
ing some more thousands in war.

more to the miserable condition
OF the county-and for no reason
at all.
There is absolutely no reason al
all for calling this term of court
AS far as we really know there
are really no cases worth while
bringing into court. There is tn,

Dear Comrades:
/ am sending a money order
for $35.25, together with the
contribution lists. This is for
you and Gallagher, so you give
him half Of it.
The u. F. L. meeting held at
Mrs. FOugner's was to be a sur
prise party on you comrades.
We had a pretty fair crowd in
spite of the storm, and if the
weather had been nice we would
have had a big crowd. and much
more for you. So it was too bad
you folks could not be there.
A farmers wife near here has
got $S4 in relief since you were
here, and we also got Mrs. FOug-
ner's relief since you were here.
There are MANY on relief now
who could get no relief before,
and the relief orders have been
increased. Besides this the C.
w. A. work has been doubled.
This is a big thing. and we feel
you comrades are entitled to
most of the credit for the good
and splendid work you comrades
did.
We wish you a Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year
also your family.
Your Comrade

P. s. Give our greetings Il
Gallagher when you see him.

and continue with the raising of
funds, so as not to be caught en-

The case, the county attorney
says is not grand larceny, but
petit larceny, and if tried at all
will be filed in Justice Court prob

Plentywood main streeters. OF
course, in case of trial Sen. Dono-

in case of conviction the case will
be appealed at once to the Dis
trict Court where it must be tried

where else around Chapel Hill is
there a richer show of color.
Among the flowers are violets

Here and there ravines run

Of these, keeping their grade
about level, run the trail up one
side of the ravine and down the
other. Now and then it may be
necessary to build little bridge,
but the idea in general is to let
the lay of the land determine the
course of the trail. Totten is
not a highway engineer seeking
TO eliminate curves so that
people may attain high speed
and thereby kill themselves the
quicker. He is making a woods
trail for the leisure hours of
people who want to get away
from the giddy Whirl-among
them, poets and philosophers
and the more sweeping curves
he can give them, the more un-
expected rises and dips, the
happier they will be.
There are high places along
the route of the trail that af-
ford splendid views over the
country for miles around.
i have been delighted to see
what a keen interest the men of
the C.C.C. have taken in this
Job" says Totten. 1T is some
thing new to them. For months
they were engaged in building
roads through woods. The roads
and the woods were the same,
day after day; the work became |
monotonous. Here the men
find variety. They tell me they |
like to cut and dig where they |
can look out over the water and |
where every day brings some
task different from the one they
did the day before"
