MANY FILINGS MADE
in FINAL HOURS
Most Filings are on Demo
cratic Ticket, but Repub-
Leans File Full Ticket in
Last Hours-No Fusion
This Campaign
HOT FIGHT LOOMS

The filings for party nomina-
tions for the several county and
state offices, SO slow heretofore,
speeded up this week during the
final hours for filing, when the
Republicans filed a complete list
of candidates, thus insuring that
there will be no fusion this year
under the leadership of Harry
Polk under the pretext of saving
Sheridan county from the ravages
of the reds and the county printing
for the dapper little Dakota po-
litical boss of Sheridan county.
Most of the candidates filed on
the Democratic ticket, which may
or may not show how the wind
blows: and it may be there will
be as much CONSERVATION in po-
itical circles when the votes are
counted next fall as there was in
Harlem the other night after the
big fight.
However, there will be a hot
fight in the Democratic primaries
between the Folk picked and the
independent candidates, right out
In the open from now on until pri-

LIVINGSTON WINS
WATER RATE CASE
p. S. COMMISSION
ORDER HELD VOID
DAPPER JUDGE LEIPER
WRITES "GOOD ADVICE"
IN LONG DECISION

The city of Livingston was up
held in it's case against the Mon
tana public service commission in
lengthy order filed in district
court here Saturday morning. The
court battle was over rates for
water from the local municipal
plant.
Judge Leiper ruled that the or
der of the public service commits
sion calling for a Is per cent re-
duction in rates charged for water,
and also the commissions order
that all services of uses discon-
nected for nOn-payment of &C
counts be reconnected, was null
and void. Judge Leiper's decision
consumed % closely typewriter
pages.
The public service commission,
on December 81 and %, 1885, held
an informal hearing in Livingston
regarding the water rates. On
January %, the commission or
dered the city to make a % per
cen reduction in it's rates charged
for water and also that the SER
vices of users disconnected for
the nonpayment of accounts be re-
connected.
This the city refused to do and
appeared before the district court.
Judge B. E. Berg, on Feb. 10,
issued an order to show cause,
coupled with temporary restrain
ing order, against the commission.
In issuing the restraining order,
Judge Berg also rules that the
amount to be paid by the water
users in excess of that required
under the order of the commission
be impounded, to the end that in
the event the commissions order
was finally determined to be valid,
then the amount so held would be
returned to the water users VINO
