killed in the different encounters thus far

A SERIOUS OVERSIGHT.
Made by the Secretary of the State Of

Bonsana-
HELENA. Mont, Oct. 24.-The last legis-
lature directed the submission of pro-
posed amendment to the constitution re-
lating to the terms of Office of county com
missioners, an amendment to which there
is no opposition. But the constitution pro-
vides that when amendments are proposed
the secretary OF state shall cause them to
be published in full in at least one news
newspaper in each county for three
months previous to election. The secre-
tary of state overlooked this provision and
the best that he can do is to advertise it
two weeks. The effect of this overnight
troubles the lawyers. If the defect is fatal
county commissioners now in Office win
hold Office four years from the time
elected. and at the expiration of that time
district judges would appoint their success
sors under the constitution. The secre-
tary of state has announced that he will
put the amendments on the official ballot.
