the republicans losing any votes over the

or enthusiasm was made, and the affair
was very quiet one, Illuminated some

Lansing, another imported hack. and
the wild assertions he made regarding
the tariff. Dorchester and Lansing must
have had high opinion of Bozeman, the
first by mixing up politics and religion and
the second by making some of the silliest
assertions ever heard from the stump at

BILLINGS, Sept 26.-lspecIal to the In
dependent. flames r GOss, county attOr-
ney Of this county, is sending letters 20 the
judges of elections OF the different pre-
cinets through the county as follows:
'in regard to the question OF voters:
Every elector must vote in the district and
precinct in which be actually resides. IL
follows that a registered elector. although
be has taken 4 certificate. II he has not Ac-
tually moved his residence, may vote In
the district where registered without being
challenged" !"
Section eleven of the late election law
provides that IL case any registered and
qualified electOr, who has had delivered TO
him territorial or state registration Ger
thcate, and who has for good cause been
unable 70 register the second time anywhere
within Montana before the closing OF the
registration books, may offer q vote at any
precinct within the county where be re-
sides and was registered before, or
in any precinct in the county, but not the
precinct where he lives, and was registered.
The law reads exactly contrary % the in
Instructions in the letter. It is believed by
many democrats that the instructions are q
republican scheme, intended to mislead
and disfranchise many democratic cow
boys on the round up who have taken out
certificate and expect to vote in some
precinct in the county other than the one
In which they live and were registered, as
the law provides they may.

A Decision by Noble which Will Aneci
Many Montana Settlers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-lSpecial to the
independent ] - Secretary Noble to-day
reversed the decision Of the general land
ONCE, which is important, as large num-
Der of Montana cases are affected by it
The land In question is in the Lewiston,
Idaho, district Joshua A. Randolph en-
tered the land and made final proof, and
was granted his certificate The land was
without the granted limits OF the Northern
Pacific road, and on an odd numbered
section. Randolph in his proof notice cited
the company TO appear and show cause why
such proof snould not be made. The com
pany did not appear, but in due time
claimed the land. Secretary Noble grants
the claim on the ground that the land had
long been attached to the railroad, and
and the company was not bound to appear
and dispute Randolph's claim.
In the case of the Northern Pacific
against w. Z. Catlin, in the Helena dis
trict, the decision is in favor of the latter.
Catlin made an entry before the filing of
the Northern Pacific line of definite loca-
tion, and was awarded the land The To-
cal officer held that being within the rail-
road land grant 1t should be paid for at
50 so per acre. The secretary says the en-
try being made prior TO the railroad right,
the land should be rated at 81 25

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-In the case of
the Northern Pacific railroad company vs..
Randolph, Secretary Noble to-day decided
that by failing to appear to oppose final
proof proceedings on the part Of preemption
or other claimants, q railroad company does
not forfeit any rights which the whole case
made shows IL 70 possess. II simply can
not insist on any further opportunity 70
contest the proofs submitted, as IL had its
day in court" but IL on those proofs them
selves IL still appears on the face of the
whole record that the company has a prior
or superior right, the judgment must go
according. This decision corrects a wide
ly prevalent misapprehension as to the ef-
feet of the Forester and other cases,
which we're supposed to infiict forfeiture
of rights upon railroad companies who
failed TO appear at hearings.
