Gov B F White spent a week at the Highland ranch on Moose creek near Wisdom punching cows. He described hospitality and good meals in the Big Hole basin where 15 000 cattle will winter and about half a million dollars of cattle fed are expected.

Mrs Clayton Files Demurrer in Divorce Case
A demurrer was filed last week in the clerk's office in the divorce suit Clayton v Clayton. Attorney W S Barbour for Mrs Clayton contends the complaint fails to state a valid cause of action as it is ambiguous and lacks time or place of the alleged actions connected to a prior damage suit by Clayton against Fred Schuler, a county sheepman.
