Thursday'« Program
Program for Thursday, the first
day of the big Bozeman Roundup. 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.

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.

SHERIFF RAIDS
GAMBLING PLACE
WEST YELLOWSTONE ENTRANCE
IS SCENE OF SECOND VISIT
OF GALLATIN SHERIFF
For the second time within the
past month, the West Yellowstone
I entrance to Yellowstone park, on the
"Gallatin Way" about 93 miles south
of Bozeman, was the scene of a quiet
raid by Sheriff Jim Smith of Gal
latin county, pulled off last Satur
day alight by the officer, assisted by
five special and regular deputies.
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. The raiding party re
turned , home at 7 o'clock Sunday
morning.
Miss Florence Markin, who received
j ber bac helor degree in Botany and

will stop at St. Paul to visit relatives
