A party Of young girls from the shops

for few weeks at a cottage on the Sound

her down and she sank. She groped
about under water a short time and then
regained her footing. Describing her

The Montana Senators.

The hope has often been expressed IN
this journal that the time was not Tar
distant when legislative bodies would
decide contested election cases IN
strict accordance with facts. It.
should make no difference to a
contestant whether the majority was of
the same party as himself Or not, The
only question should be which of the
two received the greater number of
legal votes. The one who clearly did
should be seated, though the majority
thereby lost control of the House.
Right is right, and in the end honesty
is good policy. The Montana con-
tested seats in the Senate have been
given, so far as the report of a commit
tee is conclusive, to the Republican con-
testants. If the majority in the Senate
had been Democrats, the report would
have given the seats to the Demo-
cratic contestants. Yet the facts are the
same in one case as the other. The
whole case depends upon the election
in single precinct, known as Tunnel
precinct, Silver Bow county. The re-
turns in that precinct showed ia Demo-
cratic and only four Republican votes.
The Republican Senate thought this an
improbable vote, and instigated in
Qu1fleS as 10 lno lllttlNluudl NolcS
cast. Six men we're found who
made affidavit that they voted the
Republican ticket. Ii each and every
affidavit was true the return was incor-
rect But when the judicial test came
three of the affidavit-makers had left
for parts unknown. The precinct was
thrown out and the fact has never
been made clear that more than four
1>I CT rtI
san decisions were made by canvass
| ing boards and officials, but these carry
no weight. If the disputed district is
thrown out the Republicans elect the
representatives to the Montana Assem-
bly, from Silver Bow county. Ii the
disputed district is counted the Demo-
Gratis elect their representatives, the Sill
yer Bow delegation in either case de-
termining the political character of the
Assembly. There appears to be no
question sbut that the Democratic ma
jority in Tunnel precinct was large. The
question seems to be if the Republican
vote was as small as the re-
turns showed. The Republicans only
found six men who claimed to
have voted the Republican ticket and
three of these did not stand the test of
judicial examination. This is trail
testimony upon which to seat two
Senators. Throwing nearly solid op-
position precinct out on the ground
that two or three Republican votes
were not counted is sharp practice.
1t will not help the party in the long run
unless the full report of the Senate com
mittee shall make better showing than
the known facts furnish ground for

Fred Smith went out into the field for
the injured player, and the peelers added
one more tally, Earle hitting two-bag-
ger and scoring OH Rogers's wild throw
to third. Score, 10 to 8.
In the eighth both teams added one
tally to the score, but in the ninth the
constables rallied and piled up four
more. Fenimore flew to Ross, Dixon
followed with hot liner to left field and
scored the first and only home run OF the
season amid the widest enthusiasm.
Smith failed to hit the ball, but ran to
first, and after stealing second and third
bases came home on Carlisle's base hit.
The latter stole to second, and reaching
third on Dugan's overthrow, scored on
wild pitch. Rogers took his base on
balls, stole second and third, and came
home on a passed ball; but Flint and
Cline were struck out, and the game
closed in favor of the police by 20 to IA.

A Historical Reminisence.

A writer in the Spokane Falls Reuie,e,
speaking OF the Northwest, referring to
the Indian outbreaks says:
The Spokanes were usually peaceful,
but after the fierce Modoc war in Ore
gon in '73, came the Bannock and Neg
Perce wars in II. Great fear prevailed
among the white settlers. and all man
ner of wild rumors spread.
Many fled from the country. But at
this distance it is very amusing to hear
recounted the sage advice of such
soldiers rs Generals Howard and Sher-
man. when they came to the rescue.
This country is not tit for white men
at any rate. Give it up for reservation
for the Indians and go elsewhere. II
you are bound to stay. you may as well
make up your minds to keep your guns
ready, and tight it our. We can't cover
this immense territory with few com.
panes of troops" However, they did
establish post at CHur d'Aiene City
and, upon the earnest request of Mr.
Glover and others, left company oil
