Helena Officer Fined After Parking Near Fire Hydrant
Cap Adamson, a Helena constable, was fined five dollars plus costs after receiving a rival party invitation at the police station. He had started to invite about 20 citizens to a justice court discussion on state speech laws when his car was cited for parking near a fire hydrant. The item contrasts with news of Helena Roof Garden by William M. Biggs, describing profuse blooming of sweet peas, red geraniums, pansies and marigolds.
