Bander of the permanent sus pension of the "Spotlight,"' the weekly newspaper which on several recent occa öions carried articles reflecting upon different business and professional men of CJreat Falls. The publication's busi ness manage!', E. J. Moran, left the city last Frida.» after an encounter with R B. Noble, at, whom several objectionable articles had been directed, and stayed at Cascade until Wednesday, when he went to Butte with Mrs. Moran. "I will make no attempt to revive the Spotlight,'' said Mr. Bander. "There are some accounts outstanding against the paper and when 1 have paid these my connection with the publication will end. I was connected only with the cir culation department and have neithei the means nor the inclination to continue printing the sheet. Moran was the pub lication's business manager and, so far as I ever knew, the editor also." Suspension Is Decided Upon. Suspension of the Spotlight was de cided upon, .Mr. Bander intimated, as a consequence of the recognized hostility of many prominent people towards the publication. Much comment has been made on the summary measures employ ed by Mr. Noble in his reckoning with Moran and riunor is to the effect that pertinent recommendations have been made to those left on the job at the Spotlight office. Moran was severely beaten by Mr. Noble and taken in an automobile to the store of the Noble Mercantile company on the west side, where he signed an affidavit in which he said that the ob jectionable articles had been written by another man and that he desired tr leave the city. The same night he was driven to Cascade by Mr. Noble and the next day he declared to Deputy County Attorney W. .1. Tighe that he would retract everything contained in the docu ment. Noble Would Welcome Arrest. Mr. Noble stated Thursday evening that he would welcome arrest amd trial on any charge that might be preferred against him as a result of his encountei with Moran. "As a matter of fact," he said. "I think it would be the best pro cedure for the county attorney to fol low. Nothing would suit me better than to lay the facts before a jury, and prob ably there would be no better way to clear the atmosphere of rumors and re ports that are going the rounds. "I said last Friday night that it was ready to answer for anything I did, an« 1 my position is still the same. T had j reached a point where human enduranc« bar! found its limitations and I am now j and always have been ready to submit my case to the people or to any tribuna" j in the land. If any censure attache i to the county attorney's office because ! I have not been arrested, I hope Mr j Pennet will take action without delay J for certainly T want to bring no em j barrassment upon any official. I am ! ready to go to bar at any time."

Washington, Dec. 23.—Symbols of American Christmas observance, the Christmas tree, candles and mistletoe, are relics of nature worshipping days adapted to the use of Christianity, says a bulletin issued by the National Geo graphic Society, tracing the custom of tiles«* Yuletide customs. They have to do with the Pagan theory of the rebirth of the sun, the bulletin says, the tree coming down from Aryan ancestors, the candles from Teutonic sun worshippers, and the mistletoe from the Druids. The Christmas spirit of giving. plified by Santa Claus, goes back to Ro man days, the bulletin oo.ntinues, adding that while "there is more sentiment and less of the ecclesiastical in the United States in observance of Christmas than in European lands, mince pie, traditiomal ly a necessity on every American Christ ill a -s dinner table, has a religious origin. "The choice tidbits therein," the bulle tin says "were symbolic of the rich gifts brought by the wise men to the Christ child, and the aroma to that of frank insense which they also proffered.
