She was born in 1897 in Merrill, to William and Man pleads guilty to stealing mink James D. Romero, 20, of 862 S. Main pleaded guilty Monday in Butte District Judge Mark Sullivan's court to theft of a mink coat from Sandra's clothing store, 102 N. Main, on Dec. 26.

Under a plea bargain agreement with prosecutors, a second charge of burglary was dropped in exchange for the guilty plea to the theft. The theft charge carries a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine. Judge Sullivan ordered a pre-sentence investigation prior to sentencing. He allowed Romero to be free without bond until sentencing after discovering Romero had spent 24 days in jail on a $15,000 bond. In court records Romero admitted he took the coat for a Christmas present for his wife.

He admitted in court to being intoxicated at the time and breaking a display window to get at the coat. JOHN HENDRICKS, 33, no address listed, pleaded innocent in district court Monday to burglary and theft in connection with the Dec. 17 break-in at Phil Judd's sporting store, Park and Wyoming. No trial date is set in District Judge Arnold Olsen's court for Hendricks who remains in jail in lieu of $25,000. Later in the day, Hendricks filed a petition to have Hatfield dismisses suit filed by Butte insurance adjuster courts Federal District Judge Paul Hatfield has dismissed a suit filed by insurance adjuster Kenneth Campbell and Big Sky Adjusters against Butte Bow and several local insurance agencies.

Campbell filed the suit March 14, 1980, naming the government, the council of commissioners, Bartels Agency and owner Clancy Bartels, insurance agent James Driscoll, the Butte Independent Insurance Agents, Daniel Insurance Agency, Eddie Thomas Insurance, First National Insurance Agency of Butte, Deshler Insurance Agency and Jimmy Shea Insurance. Campbell charged the government and insurance agents with conspiring to fix prices, organizing a group boycott and unreasonable restraint of trade. The suit also said the government broke the open meetings law with a secret meeting, broke the state insurance code and interferred with Big Sky's relationship with Guaranty National of Denver. Campbell's firm, Big Sky Adjusters, was the adjuster who investigated claims for Guaranty, Butte's insurance company. The government complained that Campbell.

was handling the claims too slowly. Guaranty eventually removed Big Sky from adjusting Butte's claims, and the suit said the move ruined his business. Judge Hatfield said the record failed to show any specific antitrust violations; didn't give any evidence that the Butte Independent Insurance Agents were fixing prices; and failed to show that there had been a boycott that had an adverse effect on competition. "Plaintiff's failure to demonstrate injury to competition, as opposed to injury to themselves, forecloses recovery under any antitrust theory, per se or rule of The dismissal order was dated Jan. 11.

Hendricks is charged with kicking in a window at the store and removing nine handguns, worth over $900.

He was arrested at the Cigar Store after attempting to sell one of the guns to another person, records said. One of the guns was found in the men's restroom and the others were recovered in the area of the sporting store, records said. Although no guns were found on Hendricks, one of his fingerprints was found on one of the guns, records said. Chief Deputy County Attorney Pat Fleming told Judge Olsen that his office intends to file persistent felony offender charges against Hendricks. If convicted of the new charges, Hendricks could have at least 10 more years tacked on to a possible prison sentence.

To be designated a repeat offender, one has to be convicted of a second felony crime within five years of the first conviction. Fleming also said that Hendricks is being held in jail on a parole violation. HOME INSURANCE CO. settled a suit out of court against Glenda Hauk of Butte with terms of the settlement undisclosed. Judge Olsen dismissed the suit Friday.

The company originally sued Hauk July 25, 1979, for $11,250 to be paid to the estate of Robert Gilmore. Gilmore, a mailman, of 1011 S. Dakota, and 56 at the time, died from head injuries when Hauk's car struck him Oct. 31, 1976, near Second and Delaware. Gilmore had an insurance policy that covered him against uninsured motorists.

A coroner's jury found no negligence on Hauk's part, but the suit said she agreed to pay the money to the insurance company. KAREN L. McCARTHY settled a negligence suit out of court against Anthony Dunn, no addresses listed, with the terms of the settlement undisclosed. Judge Sullivan dismissed the suit Friday. The suit claimed Dunn was intoxicated on Sept.

13, 1981, and used his car to pursue McCarthy's car while flashing the headlights and honking the horn. At Dewey and Nevada, Dunn rear-ended McCarthy's car. The suit asked for unspecified general damages and payment of medical costs. Strike at Cenex plant continues BILLINGS (AP) Workers at one Billings-area refinery were close to reaching a settlement on a new contract Monday, while workers at a Laurel plant completed the second day of their strike. The Exxon refinery and its employees had one issue remaining in negotiations for a new contract, said Tom Cirigliano, spokesman for Exxon from Denver.

Strikers continued to picket the Cenex refinery in Laurel. The 175 workers took a strike vote and walked out at midnight Saturday as the two sides failed to come to an agreement on local issues. Negotiations were continuing at the Billings Conoco refinery Monday. "We still have a few items to talk about yet," said Robert Blomeyer, manager of the local refinery. SUPERVISORS OPERATED the Cenex refinery through the weekend, and will run the plant until the strike is over, said Lou Day, spokesman for Cenex.

A scuffle occurred at the refinery about 5 p.m. Sunday, when a supervisor crossed the picket line and was hit in the face, said sheriff's Deputy Chuck Maxwell. The attacker was not identified by Maxwell, except to say he was a striking worker. The case has been referred to the county attorney to determine if charges will be filed. Cenex workers are striking over a proposed change in company work rules, not wages.

The changes would require workers to do a variety of. jobs by combining some employment classifications. The Cenex strike was the first one called in the ongoing negotiations between the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union and the U.S. oil industry. Contracts expired Jan.

8 for the 50,000 workers across the nation, but most members have stayed on the job while contract talks continue. A national model pact was reached last week by the union and Gulf Oil Co. Tentative agreements remain to be completed between OCAW and six oil companies. Poker prosecution moved upward HAMILTON (AP) Ravalli County Attorney Bob Brown has turned over the possible prosecution of his poker buddies to the state attorney general's office. Brown said Monday that he might be called as a witness in the illegal gambling case, so he decided was improper for either him or Deputy County Attorney Margaret Tonan to prosecute the case.

In early December, Ravalli County sheriff's deputies broke up a card game at the Hangin' Tree, a restaurant and lounge near Stevensville. The seven players, including several prominent citizens and two former county commissioners, have yet to be charged. Brown said the group plays cards together regularly. Some of the members have been playing together for decades. Brown said he joined the group in the 1950s.

State law and county regulations prohibit playing cards for money except at establishments with gambling license and a licensed dealer. The Hangin' Tree no longer has a license. Brown had the flu the night the game was raided, and wasn't there. Homicide suspect out of ICU MISSOULA (AP) David Cameron Keith, who is charged with deliberate. homicide after a hostage situation in Polson last week, was moved from in intensive care Monday.

Keith, 27, of Columbia Falls, was conscious and in stable condition Monday night in a private room at St. Patrick Hospital, where he underwent surgery Wednesday Thursday for gunshot wounds. Keith is charged with killing Harry Shryock, 64, a pilot who volunteered to trade himself for 13-year-old boy held hostage at the Polson airport last Wednesday. Keith faces other charges stemming from the hostage-taking and an earlier robbery in Missoula.
