Montana and Idaho Lawyers Want an
Alleged Attorney.
The attorneys of Idaho and Montana are
pursuing Lawyer w. G. Shutter. of Pooa-
tello. like avenRing spirits. Shutters ap-
plioation for admission to the supreme bar
of Idaho was a few days ago submitted to
an investigating committee of three. Every
influence ia now being brought to bear on
thisc committee to induce it to report ad-
v~ersely upon Shutters application and some
of the affidayits that have been filed are
certainly unique documents.
From the papers now being considered 1t
appears that in October of last year the
Fergus county Bar association passed
resolutions oondemninR Shutters business
methods and protesting against his ad-
mission to the supreme bar of the state,
accused him of lying about his profess
sional standing and of having informed
possible clients that he had unlawful in
fluence with judgA 8 of different courts. II.
l.. Powers, of Fort Benton, who was at one
time in business with Shutter, charges the
latter with cheating his clients and his
partner. Judge Dudley Dubose. of the
Tenth judicial district Of Montana, admin
listers the most severe rap of all, by saying:
"As to Shutters qualifications. anyone who
maintains that sheeps is the plural of sheep
must Of necessity be a m~uttonhead. Shut
ter is as ignorant of law as a bird in the
garden Of Eden" 1t ia known that Shutter
will not answer the charges made against
him, and will not persist in his demand for
admission to the bar of the supreme court.
