NUMBER 28 SUPERIOR, MINERAL COUNTY, MONTANA, AY, gpTEMBER 17, 1915 $2.00 PER YEAR FACTS ARE SET FORTH IN LETTER TO EDITOR September 16, 1916. Mr. Ross Hargrave, Superior, Mont. Sir:—As you have often expressed your desire to always state facts re- garding any matter of public interest, I wish, at this time, to call your atten- tion to several misstatements of facts in your article in the Mineral County Press of September 16th, headed, \Make a Farce of Assault Case.\ In the third paragraph of this article you use these words, \le * * so the county attorney took a change on his own hook to Saltese, notifying the wit- nesses at the depot.\ And in -another paragraph you use the following lan- guage: \The whole proceedings in this case were illegal and not according to law. In the first place, the county at- torney had no right to move the case to Saltese. This is for the justice of the peace to do.\ I take it that you have been misin- formed, for your statements, as quoted above, are absolutely false statements of facts. This case was commenced in Justice Franklin's court, but on mo- tion of attorney for defendant, Judge Franklin transferred it to DeBorgia. Defendant's attorney again filed a mo- tion for a change, for the reason that Judge Hinckley was not qualified as a justice, and Judge Hinckley, after look- ing into the matter, decided that he could not legally hear the case if either party objected, and so made the order transferring the ease to Saltese. Instead of the county attorney hav- ing anything, whatever, to do with the transfer of this case, either from Judge Franklin's or Judge Hinckley's court, he distinctly told both of these justices that he would be more than glad to try • the ease before either of them, or be- fore any justice in the county of Min- eral and would raise no objection to their jurisdiction in the matter. Both Judge Franklin and Judge.Hinkley will verify this statement absolutely. I presume, in the interest of truth, you w111.wisb to publish thicAtter which you have my permission to do. Yours truly, W. L. HYDE, County Attorney. McCLURE WANTED Butte, Mont., Sept. 15, 1915. Postmaster, Superior, Montana:— Dear Sir: I am very anxious to locate a young chap named R. H. McClure, aged 26 years. I wrote to Superior, with return address, and, as letter has not been returned, believe it must have been delivered. This chap was in Su- perior before the Fourth of July look- ing for employment. The doctor or superintendent of mines may know him, as he mentioned having met them; or he may be around the theater, as he is somewhat of a singer. If he is there, will you please let me know where he is employed or living? His friend is ill here in Butte and wants to hear from him. W. HOWARD, Box 676 Butte. , S. J. WILSON IS DEAD S. J.

OVER THE COUNTY ••• RACE PROGRAM RIG -FEATURE AT MISSOULA SHOW Agricultural and Live Stock Displays Will Be Best Ever Seen In the State. Many Other Amuse- ments Afforded. ---- LOW RATES ON ALL RAILROADS A Close Finish at the Western Montana Fair, 1914. Missoula, Sept. 16.—A race every 15 minutes during each afternoon of the Western Montana fair, Sept. 29th to Oct. 2nd, inclusive, and a big football gams, on the closing dey, are two things which are going to help make this year's big annual show in Missoula full of interest. It is fairly well under- stood that Secretary F. M. Lawrence has gathered together and is holding under promise material to make up the greatest agricultural and atock displsj that has ever been held in Montana, outside the state fair. But now, to make the fair complete, comes an- nouncement of the racing features and special attractions that are of much interest. Of the racing program, the harness events have already interested horse- men in all sections of the northwest, who agree that Missoula's track is one of the finest in the whole west Four of the early events were filled as soon as opened, a record not equalled by either the state or Spokane fairs this year. Of about 50 saddlehorse men, Secretary Lawrence found in Livings- ton, nine-tenths of them (although many had no horses at the Park county show) declared that they were coming to Missoula with their strings. The big drawing card of the racing program, however, will undoubtedly be BUILDINGS PROGRESS Building is steadily progressing in the new Superior, the sound of the hammer is constantly heard and an era of prosperity is eviden- ced on all sides. The foundation of the new jail has been comp!etecl and the brick work has been start- ed. The new school building is rapidly nearing completion. The modern bungalows of Messrs. Lein and Franklin are almost ready for the inside finishing. Work started on the Catholic church yesterday and the Strand theater is having a isixteen foot extension built on the rear. Across the river the new Bennett & Sappenfield store build- ing has been plastered and the basement is being finished for of- fices and work shop for the firm. The concrete foundation for Paul Guimont's garage is completed and the heating plant has been installed in the bank building. Clyde Moore, St. Regis, wlio has been in the employ of the for- estry service as fire guard for the past month was the guest of his neic,e, Mrs. 0. J. Lein, in Superior, yesterday. the relay races. The racing committee is already in touch with eight different strings of relay horses, and in addition to the relay for men there will be one for ladies. A partial promise has been secured from Ruth Parton, the sensa- tional rider of stampede week here, to return for this big race. Both relays will be two miles a day for each rider. This week, after weeding out a score of applicants, Secretary Lawrence signed a -contract . ..the Fl tehe Amusement company of Salem, Oregon, for its big carnival shows. This carni- val is one of the most extensive and the cleanest and best in the west. To secure it was a stroke of good luck and the fair tommittee feels that with this added feature the Western Montana fair will offer four days of educational recreation and jolly good fun that should be appreciated and enjoyed by every resident of the western Montana counties. There are special rates of one and one-third fare for the round trip on all railroads. FITZGERALD GIVEN LIFE TERM Word has been received by the sheriff's office that Ed Fitzgerald, a man with many aliases, who was taken into custody by the Mineral county officials and charged with highway robbery some time ago, had been sentenced to life impris- onment in California. Fitzgerald was recognized by under sheriff Hoffman as the man wanted by the California officials for robbery and murder in that state. His brother and another accomplice in the murder are both serving life terms, and Fitzgerald entered a plea of guilty before the California court. PETITION IS TABLED The petition of Wesley Everett to the Shoshone county, Idaho, of- ficials for a road leading into his property at Sildix was tabled with- out action being taken. Mr. Everett also had a petition before the Min- eral county commissioners who ex- pressed their willingness to build the road on this side providing he could get the Idaho commissioners to take up the work at the state line and give an outlet on the other side. It sgems to be foolishness on the part of the Idaho commission- ers not to consider this matter more seriously as their part of the pro- posed new road would only cover a distance of tbout three miler while Mineral county's portion is eight miles in length. Mrs. D. Tammetti and two sons accompanied by Jimmie Olson were up from the Olson ranch and spent several days in town. Miss Frances Bien of Bonner has been employed to teach the newly created primary room in the Saltese schools. INVITATION EXTENDED TO OTHER COUNTIES Western Montana Fair Of- ficials Explain That All May Participate In Mis- soula County's Second Annual Show. Missoula, Sept. I 6 —(Special) Al- though every effort has been made by Secretary Lawrence to make plain the fact that people in all Western Montana counties are en- titled to make entries at the West- ern Montana Fair—not only are they privileged to do so but are urged to participate. There still seems to be considerable misunder- standing concerning this point. This week the secretary received a letter from a lady at Alberton, Mineral county, asking if she could enter some fancy work at the fair. Other similar requests have been received by the secretary during the past ten days. That residents of all western Montana counties are invited to make entries at the fair of every- thing for which premiums are offered, and that the stock classes are open to the world, is set forth in the premium list, copies of which may be had for the asking. \I would appreciate it if all who have studied the premium list will spread this news abroad,\ said Secretary Lawrence. \Missoula county is giving the fair, of course, but her sister counties are all in- vited to participate in its privileges upon an equal basis.\ An effort is being put forth by the county superintendent and teachers of the county to organ- ize basketball and debating P teams in the various schools where there is a sufficient number of pupils to warrant such a move. W. T. Mulcahy, a former resi- dent of St. Regis, but now re- siding in Anaconda, was a Sun- day visitor at the Charles Hoff- man home in Iron Mountain. FROM THE COUNTY TOWNS Alberton Notes Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Salisbury have returned from their trip to the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco. They report having enjoyed the trip very much.
