150 AUTOS TAGGED;
NO FINES IMPOSED
Every Owner Had Paid for His
- 09ß T . „ „ t «j»a
1926 License, Police Jndge
" ilson Explains
Although approximately 150 auto
mobiles had been tagged up to Thurs
day afternoon by the police in their
effort to enforce the law regarding
1926 license plates, and the owners
had been compelled to interview Po
lice Magistrate M. R. Wilson, none
has been fined because none had in
reality violated the law, Mr. Wilson
declared to a .Courier representative.
All of those who had been
moned to appear before him, he
plained, had sent for their licenses
and had receipts to prove their con-
tention. Because of the rush inci-
dent to last minute orders, the issu-
ing office at the Deer Lodge peniten-
tiary has been unable to ship license
sum-
ex-
plates promptly, although it may be
said that shipments arç being made
with less delay than heretofore.
- Owners of automobiles, tagged in
Bozeman, however, are rapidly being
supplied with plates, and it is thought
that within a few days there will be
few machines without the 1926 cre
dentials properly displayed. In the
meantime, City Managet Fréd Brown's
office is issuing windshield stizkers,
when requested to do so by Police
Magistrate Wilson, to dilvers so that
they may use their machines without
interference until their plates ,arrive.
Mr. Wilson estimates that the num-
ber tagged since March 1 is slightly
greater than the total for the same
period last year, but is highly grati-
fied because, so far, ait have proved
to be innocent of any violation of the

CARD PLAYING AT
MANHATTAN GETS
QUARTET "IN BAD
))
Defendants Kick on Procedure,
But Police Judge Inabnit
Soaks 'em $25 Each
Two well known Manhattan men,
Jack Black, a former mayor of that
place, and C. C. Vaughn. a merchant;
a Mr. White of Logan and a Mr. Cal
lahan of Three Fork» were found guil
ty before Police Judge Cephas Inab
nit at Manhattan of violating thei
-peace ordinance« and fined $25 featk.
They paid the fines under protest.
Several days ago Judge Inabnit,
piloted by Marshall "Rang" Robbins,
visited a room in the rear of the
Smoke House pool hall and found the
defendants engaged in a Card game.
The unfortunates tried to disqualify
the judge because he was one of the
raiding party and therefore "preju
diced," but the court declined to be
disqualified. He called upon the cul
prits to offer testimony, but they re
fused, and he thereupon pronounced
them guilty and imposed the fines.
. Marshal Robbins asserts that gam
bling has been going on in Manhat
tan for several weeks, and further
more that stories were bandied about
that he had been "bought off." "They
told me I didn't dare arrest them, but
I did." Thereupon a "disturbance of
the peace" charge, instead of "gam
blmg, was preferred.
ALBRIGHT HONOR GUEST.
Horace M. Albright, superintendent
of Yellowstone National park, was
guest of honor and principal speaker
Thursday evening at a dinner giv
en by the Bozeman Chamber of Com
merce at the Bozeman grill. The
first part of the meeting was de
voted to the West Gallatin highway,
there being displayed, for the first
time, a big pictorial map cf that
route. Later "Better Horae and Farm
Equipment Week" and the "Milk for
Health campaign" were taken up. The
program was concluded early so that
guests might attend the concert at
the State college.
It is understood that the defend
ants will appeal to a higher court.

early this week by Dr. W. J. Hart

ian, on his ranch west of the Gallatin
river; another suspected dog killed
Tuesday by a farmer in the Hot

that other cases of the infection may
develop within the next two weeks,
the board of county commissioners,
sitting as a county board cf health,
will confer this (Friday) morning
with Dr. W. J. Butler of Helena,

Dr. Butler comes here to obtain
first-hand information on the rabies
situation, and to discuss the danger,
considered serious, to livestock in
terests, at the same time with the
proper protection of the people of
Gallatin county uppermost in his
mind. After discussing the situation
with the county commissioners, he
will be in a position to make recom
mendations if he considers them nec
essary.
More Drastic Measures
So far as kcal authorities can
judge, everything that is necessary
has already been dene to combat the
rabies menace and protect the, public
from infected animals. However,

warrant, more drastic measures can
be enforced. It is the advisability cf
such steps that will be considered at
this mornirg's conference with the
state veterinarian.
The dog seen at the Hartman ranch
has not yet been accounted for, and
may still be at large. Dr. Hartman
asserts he had no opportunity to kill
the dog, but was aide to observe it
closely enough to be certain that it
was infected, in view of the uncer
