GOVERNOR FRANK
H. COONEY DIES At
FALLS HOSPITAL
Native of Canada, He Had
Risen High in Business
World

Governor Frank H. Cooney, Mon
tana's eighth chief executive, died at
$50 Sunday night at the Columbus
hospital, Great Falls, after a heart at
tack suffered at Miami, Fla, on his re
cent trip to national meeting of road
builders. His illness had prevented
mis- extending the trip to Washington,
D. D., as he had planed when he left
Helena.
Governor Cooney arrived in Great
Falls Friday afternoon, accompanied
by Mrs. Cooney, and at his bedside
when death came were the latter and
three of their children, Walter Cooney
of Butte, Mrs. John w. Hughes OF
Helena, and Virginia Cooney of this
city. The other children are John, Ty-
Ter and Rodman. One son, Francis,
was killed in an automobile accident
last year.
Governor Cooney was accompanied
by DR.. H. j. McGregor, chairman OF
the state highway commission and his
personal physician, on the trip from
Miami, and the latter revealed after
their arrival at Great Falls that the
governors condition was very grave
The train bearing the governor home
to Montana arrived in the afternoon,
and the chief executive was taken at
once to the Columbus hospital.
His condition grew worse as the
hours passed. Not long before he died
the last rites Of the Catholic church
were administered. The governor was
a devout member of the church.
At 8 o'clock Sunday evening his
condition was regarded by the at
tending physician as critical, and a
short time afterward hope of his re-
covery was abandoned. When it be-
came apparent that his condition was
grave, the absent children were mott
fed, and Immediately started for
Great Falls, but three of them we're
unable to arrive before the governor
passed away.
Governor Cooney had been a pa
tent at the Columbus hospital two
or three times in the last year, report
ed to be suffering from heart attacks,
and it was known to the public that
he had a heart trouble of long stand
ing. However, on all such occasions
he left the hospital apparently fully
restored to his customary health and
his friends were told that he was not
in danger.

One precious to our hearts has gone
The voice we loved is stilled,
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon His love had given;
And tho on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in Heaven"

The Orpheum theatre, which for the
past eight weeks has been undergone
extensive repairs and r~emodelinp will
be completely renovated within a
week. :
The theatre here when the remod-
cling is finished will without a doubt
be n of the most modern and best
equipped in Montana.
The interior of the building has
been decorated with "NuwoodS and
presents a neat appearance. Deluxe
over-stuffed chairs have been in
stalled on the entire lower floor and
two aisles instead of the one have
been made. The addition of another
aisle is a fine Improvement, enabling
crowds to get in and out of the the
atre more rapidly.
A rest room for ladies has also been
built. Stage curtains and Grapes.
which were sent to Minneapolis for
special cleaning will be here this
week.
Carpets were laid throughout the

the Wildcats but all of the boys en-
tered the scoring column and support
ed each other ably.
Those who made the trip were Kohl
man, Zeidler, Helgeson, Koike, Rob-
inson, Kjelstrup, Highland and Sails

In the only home contest of the
week Bainville took the measure of the
Wildcats Saturday night by a 2218
score. Failure of the locals to take
advantage of their scoring opportuni-
ties cost them the game.
Play was somewhat ragged on the
part of both etams. Smestad was high
point man of the evening and scored
IL points for Bainville. For Plenty
wood the scoring was rather evenly
divided with five men entering the
scoring column. Those who played
for Plentywood were: Lund, Parker
Christensen, Kjelstrup, Backer, Di
onne, Fiske, Newton, Gustafson.
In the preliminary game the Ante
lope reserves defeated the frosh 9 to 5
in a closely guarded contest. Those
who played for the frosh we're: Earle
and Pearl Monroe, Gallagher, Marsh,
Gysler, D. Peterson.
Tuesday night the Plentywood B

Fiske, Highland, Boulds and Stenehjem

LIEN ON PROPERTY

Funds advanced to petitioners for old
age pensions will be regarded as a lien
against the applicants property, ac-
cording to a communication received
by Niels Madsen, clerk and recorder
from the Montana relief commission
The communication asked that the
information be conveyed to members
Of the Sheridan county old age pen
sion committee.
The county will file its claim for rs

the state will file its claim for Is per

file its claim for so percent of the adj
vancements made to the petitioner.
The letter from the relief commits
sion stated it was presumed that
there will be a good deal of objection
to this arrangement. Applicants for

rel that they will be maintained at

expect to leave a heitage to their chill

when they won the second game from
Frazer at Frazer Saturday night.
On Friday night, meeting a super
ior team in all departments of the
game, the Cats went down to defeat
by a score of 46 to 10. The Wildcats
repeatedly missed shots that kept
their score from mounting higher
while the Wolves were hot and took
advantage of their skill in the early
minutes of the game.
In the Frazer game the deadly free

them in the game and in the later part
