Republicans split Two Montanans killed over marshal choice Injury suit filed against hospital BILLINGS (AP) A Billings couple filed a personal injury suit in district court Friday alleging St. Vincent Hospital was careless and failed to take reasonable security precautions to prevent a sexual assault of a woman by a man posing as a doctor.

The incident occurred 18 months ago. The suit seeks unspecified damages for personal injuries and economic loss stemming from the October 1979 incident. No one was arrested in connection with the early morning incident. The assailant fled from the hospital after the woman signaled for help by pulling the cord for the nurse on duty in the hospital's pediatrics-maternity ward. The woman, who was 19 at the time, had been hospitalized for minor ear surgery.

She reportedly had been sedated and that made here "completely helpless to care for herself or to protect herself," the suit says. The suit also claims that a prowler was chased out of Deaconess Hospital about 4 a.m. that same day for a suspected attempted sexual assault, and a Deaconess employee warned St. Vincent about the man. Filing of the suit came just one week after a man also posing as a doctor entered the hospital and, with his hands, sexually assaulted a half-dozen female patients as they lay in their beds in the hospital's nursing tower.

A 21-year-old Billings man was arrested in the hospital and charged in connection with the incidents. BILLINGS (AP) The local Reagan Patronage Committee voted heavily against the nomination of retired Billings Police Captain Ron Alles as U.S. Marshal for Montana, but the full Central Committee approved the appointment. Reagan Steering Committee members came from as far away as Lodge Grass and Lewistown to press for Alles' approval to fill the job. The patronage fight split the local Republican Party as Rep.

Les Kitselman of Billings complained that Alles and his wife had campaigned for Kitselman's Democratic opponent, a former police chief, during the last election. After the votes were counted, Kitselman called Thursday night's gathering "an unbelievable meeting." He said 25 loyal party members were lost because of the outcome. Yellowstone County Central Committee chairman Herman Frank said the battle was "certain to hurt the party. There were long-time party workers there who definitely felt Alles shouldn't have the job." In January, it was reported that the Reagan Patronage Committee had chosen Byron Dunbar of Bozeman, unsuccessful state Supreme Court candidate, as its choice for the U.S. attorney's job in Montana.

Alles was reported to be the committee's choice for the U.S. marshal's job. House not so special now BILLINGS (AP) Henry Pike can move into his earth-sheltered house anytime he wants to, but he's not sure he wants to anymore. Pike's plans for an energy-efficient house were fought by neighbors who contended the structure violated covenants. Pike fought the case.

District Judge Charles Luedke ruled that when the house is completed it will conform to the subdivision's covenants. He also agreed the earth-roofed house is not actuallv a basement. After the legal battle, Pike said he had no choice economically but to move into the house when it's completed in March, but "emotionally I don't want to do it." Judge denies McKenzie claims GREAT FALLS (AP) District Judge H. William Coder has denied the latest claims by Duncan McKenzie for post-conviction relief. The judge denied the convicted murderer's request for an evidentiary hearing on the petition and dismissed it in the same order Friday.

In short, Coder called McKen-zie's appeal issues nothing more than reruns of past appeals, which already have been decided against him. McKenzie was convicted by a jury in Great Falls of the January 1974 kidnap and torture slaying of a Conrad-area school teacher. Since then, his conviction has been upheld by the state Supreme Court three times. Six previous dates with the hangman were stayed pending his appeals. His seventh scheduled execution date is March 20.

One of McKenzie's lawyers has said other appeals are likely to stretch over years. Allies committed to mental hospital BILLINGS (AP) Guy John Allies, accused of the 1976 slaying of a four-member Billings family, reportedly has reached agreement with health and legal authorities concerning his commitment to an out-of-state mental health facility. The Billings Gazette reported Saturday that it had learned from sources involved in the legal negotiations that Allies would not oppose commitment to a private mental hospital. No formal agreement has been filed in Yellowstone County District Court, although such an agreement is expected in early March, the newspaper said. If committed, the 30-year-old Billings man would be sent to an the hospital for an initial period of 90 days.

If mental health experts decide he is sane at the end of that period, he could be released. The state initiated commitment proceedings earlier this month when it became apparent that murder charges filed against the man four years ago would be dismissed. Allies once was convicted for the November 1976 shooting deaths of Tom Tillotson and Terri Tillotson, their 2-year-old son Montana and Mrs. Tillotson's 6-year-old daughter Stacy. Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney Klaus Richter filed a petition seeking Allies' commitment.

The petition noted the Montana Supreme Court previously had labeled the former auto mechanic a "danger to society." Should Allies be determined unfit for release and choose to contest the finding after the initial 90-day period, additional sanity hearings are required at the end of each 90-day period. Allies' continued cooperation with the commitment proceedings would bypass a sanity hearing that would force the state to prove he is now insane. BONNERS FERRY, Idaho (AP) A Libby woman and her 14-month-old son were killed Thursday night in a two-car crash six miles north of Bonners Ferry at the junction of Highway 2 and Moyie Springs, the Idaho State Police said.

Baucus puts nix on pension funds for farm buying A bill designed to slow down the purchase of farm and ranch land through the use of pension funds has been introduced by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. "Pension funds are increasingly attracted to investing in farm and ranch land," he said Friday in a news release from his office in Helena. "But because they don't pay federal taxes on the income they earn, they have an unfair advantage.

Baucus said such purchases are yet another threat to the family farm. He said pension funds in the U.S. have more than $600 billion in assets. "If they invest just 1.5 percent of that, they ccould buy all the farm land normally available for public sale," he said. He said his bill would require pension funds to pay taxes on income earned from agricultural land investments.

"This would close the tax loophole that gives pension funds an unfair competitive advantage over family farmers," he said. Vandals spill fuel LAKESIDE (AP) An estimated 8,000 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from a heating fuel storage tank at the Lakeside Young Adult Conservation Corps after vandals apparently tampered with a valve on the tank, a Forest Service ranger said. The incident occurred Friday. District Ranger Bill Pederson of Bigfork said the fuel stopped about 100 feet short of Stoner Creek and was not expected to contaminate the creek or reach Flathead Lake. Workers were expected to finish removing an estimated 150 to 200 yards of contaminated soil Saturday.

The patrol said two persons were killed about 1 a.m. on Montana 66 south of Fort Belknap Agency. The investigating officer, Dean Walston, identified the victims as Thomas Doney, 23, who was driving, and his brother, Lester Doney, 19. Terrance Werk, 20, was injured in the accident.

Wes Tibbetts, the man with the license to sell the broncs, says a group is forming to produce the 30th annual sale without the help of the Jaycees. The Jaycees have a three-year contract to produce the sale at the Eastern Montana Fairgrounds in Miles City.

Tibbetts' center has furnished the license needed to actually sell the broncs to rodeo stock contractors who come from across the nation. Recently, Tibbetts demanded control of the arena and handling of the livestock and sales. The Jaycees balked and said they would produce a bucking hoi se show instead of a sale.
