The campaigns of at least AZ love-

months, if records of the Silver Bow
county marriage bureau are any indi-

Last June, an unprecedented mar

lured to the license bureau.
disclosed AZ couples failed to use their
licenses, although they are as valid
now as when purchased.
The gin-marriage act required three

Under this law, marriage was virtually
impossible, or a lot of people thought
1t was.
Through popular petition the law was

the voters for approval or rejection at

two months last year couples in love
crossed the Idaho line in almost
steady stream.
Since the act was shelved, Dan Cupid

place. The fact that 215 couples OBJ

Bureau clerks recalled that many OF

BUTTE MAN IN OLYMPICS

In 1912, John Lindquist of Butte,
competed for Sweden in the Olympic
track games, despite the fact that he
had lived in this country for five years.
Lindqulst sought to make the United
States team. he had taken out his first
papers, but the A. A. U. laid down a
nard ana fast rule that all athletes
wearing the stars and stripes had to be
full-fledged American citizens. Turned
down by the American Olympic COM
mlttee, John, at his own expense, sailed
to Sweden, applied to, and was made
welcome as a member OF the Swedish
team. When John returned to Butte,
he took out his final papers. SIll later,
voters of Butte elected hum as alderman
of his Ward-in fact, he was elected sew
eral times.
The games were held in London. John
knew many of the American athletes
and due to his knowledge Of the Eng

spent many an hour at the American
athletes headquarters. He would invite
some of the U. S. gang to have lunch
con or dinner at the Swedish training
table, and brought many of his country
men over to sip and dine at the Amer
lean dining hall.

DEAN OF RASSLE COACHES

Dean SWingle OF the Montana SCaCe

years the Dean has been teaching the

Paddy Ahern, who was quite boxer
in these parts back in 1913-!6. was q
bellhop at the Park hotel. Livingston,
in 1906. While the hotel presumably
was run to accommodate guests, Paddy
designed to make less work for the
bell-hops. Paddy. and another young
fellow named Olson, dispossessed all
rooms of a card reading, "One ring for
bellboy; two rings for ice water" Ahern
thought such printed card would give
guests ideas in bell-ringing SO he ana
Olson removed the menacing literature.
To further remove bell-hopping out
of the drudgery class, Paddy proposed
to the proprietor that he should ask the
guests to drink ice water downstairs be-
fore they went up to their rooms. A
woman guest sought out the proprietor
one day and complained about lack Of
service, stating that if she wanted a
newspaper, or ice water, or stationery,
she had to go from the third floor to
the lobby. The proprietor told the Wom-
an that any time she wanted anything,
all she had to do was to push the bell
and a bellboy would answer and take
care of her wants. Why, replied the
lady, that young Ahern boy told me
never to push that button only in case
of fire" Both Ahern and Olson were
divorced from the hotel staff for being
too intelligent. Both of them can go
back to Livingston these days and get
away with most anything, for Olson's
brother is chief of police and Ahern's
brother is traffic officer.

eliminate the possibility Of repeti-
ton of the Notre Dame Northwestern
contest. which actually ended in a
20-to-20 tie, although players on both
sides figured Northwestern had won,
20 to 10.
AS far as Kenneth (Tug) Wilson,
Northwestern athletic director, was
concerned, the game will go down in
the books as tie. Wilson agreed
with newspaper men that free throw
by Meyer of Notre Dame had been
overlooked by the undergraduate scor-
ers from Notre Dame and Northwest
ern. Coach George Keogan of Notre
Dame said he would like to have the
game replayed, but there isn't much
chance. as the Wildcats schedule is
full, with the Big Ten campaign COM
