Did He Conform to che Lawt


Section 1912 Of the townsite law Of Mon
tana, under which law the provisions of
the Benton townsite act is to be carried
out, says that the number of lots which
any one claimant shall be entitled to
re-empt shall be two, and each addi-
tional lot or lots upon which said claim
ant may have substantial Improvements
of the value of not less than $3.50. It
further says that when any claimant
shall make application to enter more than
t,Uo Tots, he shall provs, in addition to
other matters of proof required, to the
satisfaction Of the probate Judge, by the
affidavit Of one or more reliable wit
nesses, the nature, character and actual
cash pnl,te Of the improvements upon such
additional lot SO sought to be entered by
him. Now, what we would like to
know, and what q good many of the
people of Benton would like to know, is
lis there man in town who will or
did make affidavit at the time Paddy
Murphy made application to enter some
800 lots, that he had OF, each additional
lot ouer ttro, substantial improvements OF

the ualue OF $3.50. And was said affidavit
proof, to the sotiJactioa Of the probate
Judges IF such affidavit was not made,
or if it was made and did not prove TO
the Satisfaction, OF the probate judge, that
improvements TO the value Of $3.50 had
been put upon each additional lot, was
he not acting In direct violation OF the
townsitc law when he entered the fill
ings for 800 odd lots and accepted the
money!
Section 1891 of the United States
statutes in relation TO the public domain
says of the action Of the trustees (which
is the position in this case Of the probate
judge]: "Any act OF the trustees not
made in conformity TO tile regulations
alluded to in section 1897 shall be yoid.n
Section 1887 says that the action CT the
trustees shall be "under such regulations
as may be prescribed by the Legislative
authority Of the state or territory in
which the same may be situated Was
the action of the trustee (the probate
judge In allowing Murphy to file on 300
odd lots in conformity to the townsite

action is void. Will the Judge explain?

The Connolly Letter.

We were quite confident that III at
tempt would be made TO induce Mr..
Thomas Connolly 10 deny the statements
in his letter III. the RIVER Press, but
did not think they would be successful.
What pressure was brought TO bear on
him to do so we know not. We have 10
say, however, that If any one doubts the
genuineness of Mr.. Connolly's signature
to the letter, they are at liberty to call
and examine it. We have the copy
where all can see it. II Mr.. Connolly
wrote the letter In the Record last night
he has certainly only succeeded in PROV
ing himself lacking in sense in signing
letter which he Gid not endorse or the
contents of which he knew nothing OF.
We question very much the genuine
ness of the Record letter, as we were
told Thursday that the boss declared he
would make Mr.. Connolly pronounce

An Aggravated Assault.

William Witt, Of the shonkin, came In
town yesterday and relates a case of
assault which on the face of it bears
pretty hard on the assaulting party. Mr..
Wits story Is to the effect that his
work horses were running with those of
Tom Lacy, and that he wanted them to
plough with, yesterday morning, and
went after them. Lacy was there, and
when Witt had corralled the horses
Lacy asked him not to let the band go
until he had got some horses that he
wanted. Witt said he would not, but
would only cut his own out. He says
Lacy commenced growing about some
thing, and that he WITT got off his
horse and started to get the horses he was
after, and that Lacy came up behind
him with a shot gun. Witt backed off,
but Lacy followed him UP and struck at
him with the gun. He lodged the blows
as well as he could, but finally Lacy
struck Or pushed the gun at him and the
muzgle caught In his nose, tearing one
nostril completely away. Witt grappled
with him, but became faint and sick
from the horrible wound, and when
Lacy saw the extent Of the Injury he let
up.
Witt came into town yesterday after
noon for medical treatment. His face Is
all scratched up, one eye completely
closed, and his nose, when he arrived,
presented horrible appearance. The
wound was dressed and stitched by DR..
Kneedler, but he will always be slightly
disfigured. No complaint has as yet
been made against Lacy, but one will be
to-day probably.

Boss Tattan g. Co. az Sun River.
Sun RIVER, Oct. q.

Editors OF the River Press:
Messrs. ri. r. Buck, T. e. Collins, w.
B. Settle and Boss Tattan were, as be-
fore announced, the democratic speakers
who should address the people of Sun
River this evening. Mr.. Buck led off,
saying the democratic party was one
hundred years old and had never changed
name or principle, go much the shame
for 1t; but ask some twelve year old
school girl and learn from her that your
party during this time has more than
once changed name and principles, If
you hear of a new race of people who
govern themselves without Legislative
representation, it Is one after Buck own
heart; and with his conglomeration Of
arguments respecting the democratic
party OF the north and south with the
republican party, it was difficult to catch
his drift of argument.
Messrs. Collins and Settle spoke at
considerable length, but failed to elicit
any manifestation OF interest from their
hearers, who were the same that listened
attentively to the scholarly effort of Max
Waterman but few evenings ago, and
received the sarcastic remarks as COM
ing with poor grace from these gentle
men.
Settle tells us that Maginnis has done
more for Montana during the last ten
years than all her people. Pity the
people, Or rather the gentlennan's iudg-
ment His audience, and more especial
ly the ladies, would like 10 know what
connection his 4eranp'' story had with
aught beside his honorable self.
The Boss occupied considerable timei in
apologizing for his inability TO speak,
but finally managed to harass the people
for an hour and a half, winding up with
school boy oration. Having repeatedly
clothed himself in his egotistic robe of
"bossism," saying Sun River people
would not be benefited by opening the
Fort Shaw reservation, but were we'll
enough as they were. The speaker said
he did not know where Botkin got SO
much property unless through his office
as marshal. Better look at home. lean
give the gentleman Sun River demo
cratic authority that many very many of
his own party are far from being satis-
fed with his official career. Having
trumped up all the slanderous slush i'm
agi1,able against the republican candi-
dates, not excepting Billy Rowe, the
audience were pleased to know that the
storm had subsidized.
Mr.. Rowe came forward and in a very
few words exonerated himself from the
charges made against him by Tattan and
Settle, giving these gentleman to under
stand that they had wilfuliy misrepre-
sented facts, which he conclusiyely
proved to democrats and republicans
Sun River people will show on the 7th
Of November that they are independent
! and do not propose to continue the reign
of s.Tattanism.u The Boss will hear
something drop in this precinct.

cratic Legislative ticket in place of Mr.
Lepley (declined) by the chairman of the
democratic committee, Chas. e. Con-

take pleasure in the announcement
that this completes the I. G. Bakerlegis-
lative ticket, and that there is not a man
on it whose interests are not identical
with those of I. 6. Baker Of the con-
nection of the candidate for the council,
Mr.. Hamilton, with I. G. Baker g.
Co. the public are well informed, and,
as we heard one man remark, since the
opening of the campaign, Hamilton
will not do, for he will stop the whole
work Of the council when any important
measure comes up, as they will have to
wait until Al. comes down to Benton
and gets Billy Conrad to tell him how to
vote" Mr.. Settle, it Is also known, Is
an old states acquaintance of the men,
bers Of the firm, and has been intro
duced, given business, pushed forward

Baker is the son of I. G.. Baker, repre-
sents I. G. Baker in the firm of /. G..

central committee would have simpli-
fed matters considerably if they had
dropped Hamilton and Settle and sent to
