Dr. J. C. Storkan Elected Mayor
Of Plentywood In Quiet Election
Election Was a Very Quiet Affair. 250 Out of a Possible 700
Votes Were Cast. May Result in a Shakeup of Police De
partment. L. S. Olson Defeated By 2 to 1 Vote.
Extreme apathy featured the city
Jdi° n here Monday. Only about
250 votes out of a possible 700 were

lanski, present mayor, by a majority
of 29 votes.

uce department somewhat. It is be
lieved that the present Chief of Police
George Pierce will be retired and an
other man appointed in his place.
A" er f ar e those who claim to be in
the know, who intimate that Oscar
Lollms will he the new chief, but still
there are others who make the same
claims who say that the chief will be
a n entirely new man. Quite a num
,' r °f the leading business men of the
city are said to be opposed to the
elevation of Collins to the post of
Chief on the grounds that his ap
pointment would not be for the best
interest of Plentywood from a busi
ness standpoint.

A livestock day at Havre to study
the experimental work with cattle and
hogs has been announced for April
9th by Louis Vinke of the Montana
Experiment station. The work carried
on at the Havre station includes tests
with 12 lots of cattle and six lots of
hogs. Wintering cows, growing of

special interest to stock men in north
eastern Montana.
Livestock days held at the Experi
ment Station at Havre for the past
two years have been attended by
stockmen from all parts of the state
of Montana and have been of consid
