Succumbs to Pneumonia at Home
Here After an Illness of
Only Four Days.

1t was with a distinct shock
and keen sorrow that this COM
munity learned of the death OF
Sheriff H. E. Vance which oc-
CURED at the family home in this
city at an early hour Monday
morning, after a brief illness from
pneumonia.
Only last Thursday he was about
town attending to his official duties
and very few knew he was i'll.
Thursday afternoon he complained
of a pain in his chest and went
home and to bed. A physician
was called and it was found that
he was running a temperature OF
1O4 degrees and that the dread
pneumonia had already laid hold
upon him. Friday and Saturday
his condition appeared better, but
took a turn for the worse and he
failed gradually until 3:45 Mon
day morning, when his spirit
winged its flight to the realms of
the great beyond.
Hiett Emmett Vance was born
at Moberly, Missouri, Jan. 8, 1868.
He grew to manhood in that COM
munity and there. on April 6. 1887,
he was married to Miss Ada Nora
Hamilton of that place.
In the spring of 1900, with his
family he came to Montana, To-
eating first on Rock creek in Car
bon county, where he followed the
occupation of farmer five years,
then moving onto a farm two
and one-half miles west of Bill
lings.
He came to Hardin in 1918 and
opened a harness shop here, but
after a few years he disposed of
this business and again turned to
farming five miles south of Har-
din. After a couple of years he
again moved to Rockville in Car
bon. county, but after a short
ner'od returned to Hardin and be-
""~'e chief of police of the city of
F'r"'n. a position he filled with
satisfaction to all until the sum-
mer of 1927, when he was named
as u~ndersheriff by Sheriff John B.
Shreve. a position he held during
Sheriff Shreve's term and that of
his successor. Sheriff Claude
Wham, who filled out the unex-
pired term Of Sheriff Shreve, who
resigned in 1880 to accept another
position.
In November. 1880. Mr.. Vance
was elected to the office of sheriff
on the Democratic ticket, being
given the largest majority ever &C.
corded a candidate for that Of
lice in Big Horn county. So sat
lsfactorily did he perform hi;
duties that he was reelected bv
an overwhelming majority in 1882
and again last November, and he
had served but a little over two
months of his third two-vear

TERRA ALTA HARD HIT

1t is regrettable that our neigh
boring city of TERRI Alta has been SO
unfortunate in its. fire loss within the
past year. 1t is not only severe loss
to individuals who are directly inter
ested in the properties destroyed, but
it is very discouraging'for the business
men and all the other citizens of the
town. y -
Two fires in one business block
within a little more than a year have
done damage estimated at more than
$15O,OOO. That is a heavy loss for any
small town.

such disasters will only serve to give

with new vigor and a resolve to over
come the hardships visited upon them
with a new faith in their community

SERVANT OR MASTERY

"The federal government was in
tended as the servant and not the
master of the people.
mo political autocracy in the
natioal capitol, no man or group of
men to be permitted to control the
individual fortunes of the citizens
under the American system conceived
by Washington and Jefferson and
perpetuated by Lincoln"
So says David Lawrence, editor of
the United States News, in protest
against the Rayburn- Wheeler Public
Utility bill.
There has been introduced in both
houses of Congress bill which would
entrust to single commission in the
Federal government not just temper
airy or emergency control but perma-
nent jurisdiction over all holding
companies directly or indirectly re-
lated to electric light and power and
to gas companies of every sort.
And the same bill, if unchecked by
the courts or by the will of the
American people expressed through
their representatives in Congress, can
be extended to cover every kind OF
business in the United States from
department stores to retail shops and
from mining and manufacturing to
professional service.
This bill is explained in another
article in this newspaper today.
The fact that for the moment the
bill includes only electric light and
power and gas utilities does not
mean that all other holding companies
are immune. A simple amendment
striking out the words Electricity, u
could be adopted and the pending
measure would instantly apply to all
manner of business.
If it is constitutional to accept the
proposed holding company legislation
as it applies to utilities, it will be
equally valid to, extend the prohibi-
ton of the holding company to all
other businesses.
The bill will allow the government
to enter private business in earnest
and the desire for more control is
bound to spread. 1t isn't matter of
life or death Of utility companies
It's a matter of life or death of
private business.
It's up to the people to kill that
bill, by smothering our representa-
tives in Congress with protests.

Specify types of securities in which
the treasurers of counties, cities or

Allow collection of all ordinary
state, county and city taxes in in

Committee Limits Maryland Relief
A special session of the legislature
in 1886 is contemplated by the groups
from the House and Senate which
completed their study of the relief
situation last night and are ready to
report to the Senate Finance and
House Ways and Means committees.
The committee decided that the re-
lief expenditures to be borne by the
state should not be less than $1,000
900 nor more than $4,000,000 in any
calendar year. 1t is understood that
the House group may cut the maxi
mum to $3,000,O00.
After canvassing the situation, the
committee came to the conclusion
that the state should only make relief
funds available until January 81.
This would require special session
during January of next year in order
to continue in effect the revenue rails
ling methods or to curtail expenditures
if conditions warranted.

The present Council is not inter
ested in the passage of any beer bill.
However, if such bill is to be passed,
we are interested to the extent that
the Incorporated towns, Oakland in
particular, be protected to the extent
that the town authorities have the
right to regulate the sale of beer
within the town limits and charge
such licens fee as they may see fit.
Without such local regulation for
Incorporated towns, they would be at
the mercy of a County Law that would
possibly allow the sale of beer in
such a manner that the local authori-
ties would have nothing to say in the
way of regulations or additional rev.
enue for the town.
The above is the extent of the
Mayor and Councils interest in such
bill.
