At 10:30 a parade of cowgirls, cowboys and Indians will be featured by the management. Johnny Mullins, arena director, asks that all persons desir ing to ride in the parade, meet him at the Boezman hotel, or communi cate with him by telephone. Mr. Mullins has a large number of horses, which he will be glad to furnish those who see him first. Although the Roundup association owns a large number of horses, there is not a suf ficient number to supply the demand. „ it will be necessary to see Mr. . r • ' „-ui Mullins as soon as possible. The parade this year will eclipse anything seen in prior years. The Flathead Indians, in full regalia, will take part, as usual. The management urges that no one miss seeing these Indians, as their horses are the fin est to be had in the w r est, and most of their trappings have been handed down from father to son for genera tions, and are now almost priceless. The performance, which will con sist of bronc riding, steer wrestling, cowgirls' and cowboys' trick riding, cowboys' trick rpping, calf roping, and wild cow milking, will commence promptly at 2 o'clock. The bucking horses have already been run through the chutes numbered, and Mr. Mullins wishes lay particular emphasis cn the fact ^hat never before in the history the Bozeman Roundup, has the as.so ciation owned a string of horses compare with those to be seen Au 7-8, and 9. so une Rooms For Visitors Rooms and lodging and boarding ac commodations, which the local hotels, rooming houses and restaurants are not able to handle, are being supplied visitors through Secretary L. E. Hathaway of the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce. From present indica tions, there will be accommodations for all, and no one need go hungry during the Roundup, or fail to find a lodging nlace at reasonable prices. SUIT IS ENTERED AGAINST SHERIFF . non A civil action, praying for $5.000 damages and cost of suit and at torne y fees, was entered in district eourt yesterday by Lawrence Nevin. a nearby rancher,^ against bheuit ^ ames Smith and Undersheriff Or-! ville Jones. Attorney Walter Aitken * s counsil for Mr. Nevin, who claims that his reputation was injured to that extent through his arrest on Fohruarv 12, 1924 by the sheriff and j his deputy. I The present suit is the outgrowth 0 f t j, e serv ing of mortgage foreclos are papers on Nevin early in the year , i n which livestock was involved. According to the sheriff Mr. Nevin refused to allow him to proceed with the execution of the. foreclosure ac ! cording to law, and the arrest was made on the grounds that the de fendant interfered with the carrying ÜU t of the law. Nevin contends that the arrest was without warrant or any legal or law ful authority, and that he was peace fully attending fto his business and j occupation at the time of his arrest. ^ .

Gallatin County la Veritable Land of Fabled Milk and Honey The Gallatin valley with its irriga ted pastures white with Alsike and White Dutch clover, its roads lined with sweet clover, and with numerous alfalfa fields scattered throughout the , valley, offers ideal conditions for the , , production of honey. Honey production in the Gallatin valley is increasing each year. In 1923 over 300,000 pounds or one-1 eighth of all the honey produced in>^ 1 Montana was gathered by Gallatin valley bees.

The raid Was the result of complaints of Government park officials and peaceful and law abiding citizens of West Yellowstone, ail of whom are vigorously demanding that the gamb ling and bootlegging at that place be cleaned up for good and all before the holding of the public sale of lots by the government which is schedul ed to take- place August 24. Trrough a system of underground signals, several of the places where raids were contemplated had been tipped off. The principal place, however, was pulled, and three men arrested and taken in custody by the officers. They are Joe Clough and R. E. Collett, propriétés of the Clough & Collett pool hall and soft drink parlor; and Erwin Thurston. The men were arraigned yesterday afternoon in district court and en tered their pleas. The raid netted the sum of $131.50 in silver and bills, besides four old time gambling slot machines, dozens of punch hoards, over 60 decks of cards, four flash lights, pens, pencils, pretty pocket knives containing the pictures of beautiful ladies in dis habille, and a quantity of candy and other valuable nrizes too numerous to mention.
