1 4 lv •i1fl E H TRIBI VOL. III NO 48. HARDIN, YELLOWSTONE COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER s, icpo. NE $2.00 PER YEAR. II iged Attu pt t Ini ute aing Character Sheriff Orrick on Complaint of A. T. Richardson Arrests Harry Sharp and Takes Him to Jail—For Lack of Evidence Sharp is Turned Many of Hardin people were somewhat surprised last Satur- day morning when after Sheriff Orrick accompanied by County Attorney Wilson arrived here, it was learned that they had tak- en Harry Sharp into custody on complaints made by A. T. Rich- ardson. The story leading up to the Richardson's supposed greivence is a long one and as we are not familiar with the conditions we will not attempt to relate it. However, it seems that for some little time prior to this trou- ble Sharp was a welcome visitor to this home and it was publicly conceeded, was paying consider- able attentior4 ...to the daughter. As time passed by in some un- ceivable way Sharp unfortune- ately incurred the displeasure of the head of this household—was ordered off the place and advised never to return at the expense of his life. Dating from this time Richard- son complained that he and his family have lived in constant terror of their 'lives, that this man Sharp has threatened both life and property and that he is altogether a bad man. Just what the co nplaint was made against Sharp no one seems to exactly know but it is ilieged that it covered a o t all the deeds the human kind might be.capable of committing, excepting mur- der. Sheriff Orrick took Sharp to Billings Saturday and lodged him in jail where he remained till Tuesday morning and as the prosecution did not appear Sharp was turned loose for lack of evi- dence that would warrant his re- tention. Harry Sharp came from Apple- ton, Wis., and is said to be of a good family. He is a young man of no bad habits, neither drinks or uses tobacco in any form, has always been perfectly trustworthy and reliable, and many of those best acquainted with conditions do not think him guilty of any of the charges made against him. Sharp has been advised by his attorney that he has a good damage case against Richardson and he asserts that he will bring action at once to recover dam- ages to his character.

IS ADJUSTED LIQUOR BUSINESS For the purpose of endeavor- ing to come to an amicable arrangement so that the new steel bridge over the Yellowstone at Columbus might be again op- ened to traffic, members of the boards of county ccmmissioners Carbon and Yellowstone coun- ties, together with Indian Agent Scott, met Saturday afternoon of last week at Columbus. It is held by the officials of of Carbon county that a right• of way was secured several years ago over the land of William White on the south side of the river. This was fenced by White after the road was open- ed to the wooden bridge, but it is held that it was never officially abandoned. At the meeting Saturday efforts were made to get White to agree to the reopening of the road without further litigation, but as the meeting was secret it could not be definitely accertain- e,d what was accomplished. The structure was opened November 19 and after being in use for about 12 hours was closed by Stock Inspector Camp- bell under orders, it is said, of Indian Agent Scott. It is like- wise understood that the mes- sage of the latter was forwarded to the inspector while the agent was ignorant of the fact that the district court had refused to grant the request for the in- junction preventing the opening of the bridge. According to information from Columbus, the barrier which was placed across the southern end of the bridge has been removed and it is said that County }At- torney Spencer of Carbon county stated Saturday that he would see to it that the bridge remain- ed open even if it is necessary to keep a guard at the structure continually to prevent its being closed. Meanwhile the old bridge has been in use, but as the structure is in such bad condition that it was inspected and condemed by the commissioners, it is with re- luctance that many persons cross it. It is understood that Agent Scott has withdrawn his objec- tions to the use of the new bridge, and it is believed that White will soon agree to the use of the right of way over his land.- Billings Evening Journal.

According to reports coming from Washington the United States has just passed through a banner year for drinks, smokes and oleomargarine. Here is the nation's record for the 12 months ended on June 30, as shown in the figures of the internal reve- nue bureau: Distilled spirits, 163,000,000 gallons ---30,000,000 gallons more than the year before. Fermented liquors 59,485,111 barrels ---an incr2ase of 3,000,000. Cigars, 7,600,000.000-160,000- 000 more than 1909. Cigarettes 6, 830, OCO, 000 ---an in- crease of a solid one billion. Plug, fine cut, cube cut, gran- ulated or sliced smoking or chew- ing tobacco or suuff, 402,000,000 pounds ---4,000,000 more than the year before. Oleomargarine 141,862,282 lbs. 50,000,000 pounds increase. Illicit distilling and othe'r man- ufacturing of moonshine whiskey —on the increase - especially,\ the bureau says, \where there are state wide prohibition laws.\ The internal revenue receipts on all these things, such as play- ing cards and mixed flour—a- mounted to more than $289,000,- 000, and Commissioner Cabell's organization collected it all at a cost of about $5,000,000. It costs a penny and a little more than 7 mills to collect each dollar. When the present year is end- ed next June 30, Commissioher Cabell estimates his men will have collected at least sals,opo,- ow at practically the same cOst. Commissioner Cabers report, speaking of illicit distilling, says Alabama, Georgia, North Caro- iina and South Carolina lead in offenses of the charseter. Within the year officers closed 1,911 plants, 200 more than last year. While the manufacture of oleo- margarine has increas2d, the tax receipts were disappointing. That is said to be because a large pro- portion of the oleomargarine is so made as to take a lower tax than formerly. Many prosecutions are undelr way, charging violation of the law, but Commissioner Cabell *de- clares he believes they constitute only a small proportion of the real offenders. Government Starts Contest Special Agent Baker from the general land office at Washing- ton has instituted proceedings to nullify a number of timber and stone entries in the vicinity of Roundup. The contests have been on the grounds that the entrymen new at the time of filing that the land was more valuable for its coal de- posits than anything else. Expert witnesses will be employed by the government to show the filing was not in good faith. fo Whom it May Concern Those having charge of the sale of tickets and of the door of the hall at the masquerade ball given under the auspicises of the M.

Your Choice. The homesteader who suffered the past season from a crop shortage should not be discourag- ed by thinking that in order to hold his claim that he is compeled to live on it through the coming winter, thereby increasing his hardships. There is a law gov- erning this condition granting a leave of absence for \total or partial destruction or failure of crops,\ etc. The following are the rules under which a leave of abence may be obtained: 1. Application for leave of ab- sence may be sworn to before the register or receiver or before any officer using a seal and auth- orized to administer oaths. 2. The law authorizes regis- ters and receivers to grant leaves of absence for a period not ex- ceeding one year at any one time, subject to the approval of the commissioner of the general land office, whenever it shall be made to appear that the settler \is unable, by reason of a total or partial destruction or failure of crops, sickness, or other una- voidable casualty, to secure sup- port for himself, herself or those dependent on him or ber, upon the lands settled upon. 3. In each case full particu- lars should be given in the ap- plication, which shduld state the failtire or destruction of crops, if the crops have 'failed or been de- stroyed. to what extent and the cause thereof. In case of sickness, what dis- ease* . injury and to what ex- tent claimant is prevented there-. by from continuing on the land, and certificate from the physician in attendance setting forth the facts should also be furnished. In the case of \other unavoidable casulty,\ the character, cause, and extent there and its effect upon the land or the claimants should be stated. 4. Residence must be estab- lished upon the land within six months after date of entry, and additional time an not be grant- ed within which to establish such residence, nor will the leave of absence be granted unless bona fide residence shall have been first established upon the land. 5. The time of actual residen- ce under suc:i leave can not be considered as constructive resi- dence or be deducted from the period of actual residence re- quired by law. However, it should be borne in mind by those making fourteen months proof that the ruling of the department is that residence for fourteen months just prior to the making of final proof and a leave of absence creates a break in this residence, making it nec- essary for a full fourteen months residence upon the honlestead upon the expiration of the have of absence.
