THE PRINTING LAW.
Sensible Action Of the Lewis
and Clarke County Com
missioners,

Independent, 18th instant: At the
session Just ended of the Lewis and
Clarke County Commissioners an ef-
fort was made by the Broadway Of
fetal organ to have certain claims
allowed FOR printing which was en-
braced in the contract of the indie.
pendent. The Board, although COM
posed entirely of Republicans, very
properly rejected the account. As
honest and conscientious officials
they could have done nothing
else. The Independent had con-
tracted for this printing with the on.
ly parties authorized to contract IN
der the law, and to disregard such
contract would be to involve the
county in a controversy, wholly un-
necessary and of no benefit to any,
one, save q single newspaper that
now boasts of its large profits and in
creased prosperity. The county ccm-
'nissioners very properly held that
they would remain on the safe side,
and not plunge the county into liti-
cation and trouble in order to sub
serve the selfish purposes OF the PAM
pered Broadway organ.
As was sensibly remarked by one
of the Commissioners: I'VE are moi
here as parlisans, but as County
Commissioners, and Our business is
to consult the best interests Of the
county rather than the personal ends
of any set OF politicians" Such Sen
timents reflect credit upon the gen.
tlemen who have our county finances
in charge. Their action fifty illus

scieutious Montana Republi can and

of public duty than to 8 official po-
sition to put money into his own

lican, like the Montana Democrat.

note to the public welfare. It is only
the carpet-bagyers among us who

You who expect to receive holiday
gifts and you who expect to make
them would no doubt consider US un-
pardonably remiss were We to substi-
tute in our daily newspaper talk any
other theme for that of gifts. We
have NO disposition at this time to
eliminate Christmas thoughts, for,
though they be inele gantly expressed
they are welcome as the harbingers
of "that good time comins' and
which Is now so near at hand.
CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS
are rocked in q cradle whose every
motion fans into a more substantial
and tangible existence the lights and
shades that give beauty to the life We
live, eyes but you are aiming at
BUSINESS"
you say. True, we are, but good
thoughts retain some of their lowell
ness though clothed In the everyday
garb of business.
For several days past we've been
calling your, attention to II exhibit
Of holiday goods as the most extern
sive and elegant in the city. Some
times We have placed before you
quite a full list of the articles consti.
tuting the exhibit and then again we
have attempted brief descriptions Of
some of them. To-day we refer
particularly to
MIRRORS.
What q blank the world would be
to our lady friends were it not for
mirrors. Art lavishes Its finest
touches upon that which woman ap-
proves and hence we are able to ex-
hibit q variety and elegance In this
class of goods that would have aston
ished the court ladies of a century
ago. The mirrors designed for holi-
day gifts have principally plush
frames because 1t is richer and more
elegant. But it is perhaps the unique
shapes into which some have been
wrought that captivates most. W.
have one wrought in plush the exact
design Of a violin, and another FASH
toned exactly after the italian harp,
and both of which tend to bring to
mind that dow of soul that finds *
preston in the mellow cadence Of
music's sweet refrain.
Very respectfully,

ANOTHER UNM ASKED ROB
Berry.
The 9tevensVi1le Store Raided
by Three Desperate
Bandits
Believed to be the Same Gau1
that Robbed Pfout's Store
In Butte.

AuAO14AdLtOu was TeCc1VoU 1ASt uIGut
through private channels that on
last Tuesday evening about seven
o'clock, three men galloped up to the
store in Stevensville, Missoula couu-
ty, and hurriedly dismounting and
hitching their hrrses. Immediately
entered the store, and drawing theil
revolvers ordered the proprietor, who
was alone In the store, to turn his
face away from them, and while one
of the bandits stood guard with a
cooked revolver over the proprietor,
another stood at the do or to prevent
surprise from the outside, and the
third proceeded to deliberately ran
sack the premises for valuables. The
money drawer vas robbed of about
5000 in money, several watches were
taken from the show cases and the
bandits helped themselves to such
clothing and blankets as they re-
quired. After going through the
store the robber who was doing the
%ransacking very coolly came up be-
hind the proprietor. and compelling
him to hold his hands high in the
air, proceeded to 90 through his
pockets, from which he succeeded in
obtaining about $50 in silver and
small bills. They then compelled
their victim to turn his face to the
rear of the store, when they rushed
to their horses, mounted and rode
away at a hard gallop. The alarm
was Immediately given, and a posse
of sixteen men was organized to Join
in the pursuit. The robbers took the
road up the valley in the direction of
Philipsburg, which it Is believed was
their objective point, and one pursu-
ing party went in that direction
while another went to Missoula, from
which point kilograms were sent
to Deer Lodge, and officers went
from there to head the buccaneers of
on the Philipsburg road. The rob-
bers were seen by several citizens of
Stevensville, who agree in describ-
ing the party as consisting of q big,
burly fellow and two smaller men,
one of whom had a peculiarly pallid
complexion. and all dressed roughly,
presenting the appearance of labor
ing men. This description being
about that given of the men who
robbed T. G. Hamilton & Co.'s store
in this city, last week, and the SINH
larity of the details Of the two rob-
berries, leads to the belief that they
were both committed by the same
gang. An additional evidence that
they are the same men, is that one of
them was seen to have in his posses
sion a paper sack such as is used by
retail grocers, with the adver'
tisement If q Butte firm print
ed upon it. The gang is evidently
exceedingly bold and desperate
one, though the method of their op-
and the novel manner in
which they rely upon the trepidatfon
Of their victims, and compelling
them to turn their faces away, to
avoid recognition, without the aid of
masks, would seem to indicate that
they are novices in the trade of rob-
berry. Montana Is too we'll organized
and her officers are tou much on the
alert for the desperadoes to pursue
any very lenythy career of success,
and their Stevensville robbery Is
likely to prove their last.
