Montana Ban On Sunday Dancing Remains Despite Amendments
The Montana Supreme Court denied Joseph Kline of Butte a writ of habeas corpus to free him from county jail for allegedly operating a Sunday dance hall. The court affirmed that the Sunday ban on dancing where admission is charged remains intact, noting the 1871 policy and that amendments did not intend a broad change. The ruling also upheld Fergus county’s decision against Winnett Pacific Oil in a dispute over a well drilling contract with Dan Wilson, awarding $4,000 to the plaintiff and ruling the findings supported by evidence.
