A TIMELY

We see intimation given in various
state papers that Butte and certain
other towns in silver states have
started the plan of sending memor-
ials to congress asking them to re-
frain from enacting any laws detrl-
mental to the interests of silver. The
HERALD wrote two weeks ago upon
the expediency and timeliness OF
such a memorial and suggested that
the citizens of Neihart prepare such
a memorial and also that the camps
of the state and of the west act unit
eddy in the matter.
There is a season to SOW and a
season to reap. 1t seems now that
the season could not be more
O the time more urgent for such
action.
To-day the petition must be start
ed. 1t must be signed, not by every
property holder, but by every free
man in this mining district. Let il
be passed around and let a thousand
or so of names 90 out from this par
ticular section. 1t will help to swell
the movement. 1t will be of prac.
teal benefit if there is such a thing
as practical benefit for this vita
question. If we lie dormant unit
the present congress adiourns, o
until the destructive and despiseC
Harter bill has passed the congress
we may expect nothing but the tasl
of rolling up our turkey" and re
moving to other parts.
Soc the petition if you possibl,
can. Call at this Office and get
copy. If you have a day off lend
hand in the matter. Garry the pape
around and talk in it's favor. Ac
while it is time and when the oppor
tunity has gone we will have NJ
cause to complain of III own neg
ligence.

THE MIGHTY HUNTER.
John Sinclair Comes Back From An
Excursion on the Tenderfoot.

For about a month John Sinclair,
the well-known local hunter and
taxidermist, has been on a hunting
trip to the Belt mountains. His
only companions were his trusty gun
and one friend, and during the out
ing they slew fourteen deer. The
hides were saved and the carcasses
were brought to a ranchman's house
in the mountains to be cured for
"jerked" venison.
No dangerous game was met with
on the trip, and Mr.. Sinclair says
that few lions, lynx or wild cats are
to be found in the mountains about
here. His fine collection of stuffed
animals and birds he now values a
$4,000, and has had an offer for i
from Grand Forks, n. ID. His pride
would be to see it become a part o
the public library in Great Falls
which would be a decidedly fifth!
disposition for it. But just now h
is contemplating its removal to som
large eastern city where it could b
made a great attraction in connection
with a resort similar to the Ell
saloon which he conducts in this city
Mr.. Sinclair believes that it woul
draw 800 in Chicago where it draw
81 in a city the size of Grea
Falls, and he has a serious notion @
removing it in the near future

The Settlement ON Red Lodge.

George B. Stevenson, n of the
recent settlers on Red Lodge creek,
on the ceeded reservation, was in
town Thursday. He states that be-
ginning at the head of that stream,
the valley is dotted with cabins on
every alternate section for a distance
of fifteen miles. Many of the set
tiers have taken out bitches to irri-
gate their land and there is now a
movement on foot among them to
employ an engineer to survey the
country and ascertain the definite
boundaries Of the claims, when the
work of fencing them will begin at
once. Mr.. Stevenson says that about
half of the settlers are married men
and have their families with
them, and that all the good
land in that locality is taken.
except on the small streams
where people seem to be afraid tc
locate for fear they will not be able
to secure enough water for irrigation
purposes.-Picket.

BROADWATER COUNTY.

The formation of Broadwater
county as proposed by citizens in and
around Townsend, which asks that
the Missouri valley in Meagher and
Jefferson bounties be set to itself is
a e the ACCESSIBILITY of which
is most questionable. The citizens
of Meagher county at present are at
peace with one another: they are
contented with their present political
organization and in no part of the
county is there dissatisfaction ex-
cept in the part above mentioned.
We believe in the division of
states into counties as long as it is
consistent with public advantage or
financial economy. But where there
is such scant population as is found
in the fines of the proposed new
county and where the property val
uation is so much below what it
should be for the proper support of a
a county the improperly can readily
be seen.
There are certain proposed coun,
ties whose creation would be of pub
lie advantage. Teton county is a
fair example. Fathead county
should by all means be created
Valley county cut off from Dawson
is another benefcent move. But
while we have discussed this thing
before. we have never entertained
thought that a representative from
Meagher county would father {
scheme of cutting up this county in
to fragments to favor his W com
munity or perhaps his W individu
al interest. 1t is certain indeed tina
his work to create the above nance
county is not as a representative O
the people of this county, and he il
acting out of the bounds of the Office
for which he was elected.
Then the projectors make a mis-
take in calculating upon the expense
I of running the proposed county
When a man rises to claim that $50,
} 600 per annum will meet the curren
expense of a new county he is eithe
trying to gull the public or else i
grossly ignorant of public affairs
. and has no scruples about giving tn
fact away.
There is one thing of which tn
HERALD is proud just now. That

Great Falls Tribune: "Great
Falls for the state university"
SAYS the NEIHART HERALD.
The Tribune thanks its contempo-

versity an institution which shall do
credit to the. state by uniting its
forces all at n point than is secur-
ing either a part or the whole of the

Red Lodge Picket: Neihart, it
seems is similarly situated with Red
Lodge in reference to the county
sea and the citizens of that town
will also ask the Legislature to pass
a law allowing them to have regular
terms of the district court. But the
papers of White Sulphur Springs
have not come out in opposition to
the movement, which might serve as
a pointer for Livingston. All county
seats are not swine.

In THE celebrated case of Jere
Coughlin for the alleged murder of
DR.. Cronin, having lately been grant
ed a new trial, Judge Magruder
gives a statement of what he con-
siders a prejudiced and an unpreju-
diced juror. He says in part: "The
juror who is known to have in his
mind fixed and positive opinion is
not impartial as a matter of fact.
The fact that he gave a fair and i'm
partial verdict according to the evil
dence, Notwithstanding he previously
testified he favored an opinion, does
not remove the barriers that disquali.
fly him as the justice interprets the
case. To compel a person accused
of crime to be tried by a juror who
is preiudiced in the case is not tc
give him a fair trial"
He says further that the mere fac
of "a mans having read newspaper
upon any given subject is not suf
ficient cause to disqualify him as
juror. Nor yet does the the opinion
disqualify any man from sitting on
Jury who has formed an opinion fror
newspapers statements. After com
menting on the general use of news
papers by the public the Judge say.
eff men who read newspaper a,
counts are excluded from the jur
box, trial by jury might as we'll
abolished" The fact that a iur'
expressed an opinion based {
newspaper accounts, does not ne
essarily disqualify him, and in su.
port of this, Judge Magruder cites
number of opinions.

The Anaconda Standard almanac

The Anaconda Standard almanac
for 1893 is on our table. 1t is the
best annual they have ever issued
and is full of valuable information
regarding our state, its resources,
productions, political features, etc.
1t is probably a little biased in its
choice of statistics as it gives the
Great Northern Railway and al
towns along its course a complete
go-by. The Almanac is for Amazon
da for the capital.

lntermountain: 1t is said that
Sam Hauser can reinstate himself in
the senatorial race by putting up
sl2o,OW to the candidate who scared
him out last week. This report may
or may not be true, but it is daily
becoming mor evident that a demo-
cratic senatorial election is simply a
question of money rather than a
question of democracy.

BY statistics from the Standard
Almanac we get the standing of Mel

voting population. There are ~

late election. Marysville polled but
five votes more than Neihart and

Livingston Enterprise: Neihart,
as we'll as Red Lodge, has inaugur-
ated a movement for the holding of
a term of district court each year.
If the constitution does not interpose
a bar to Legislation of this character,
it would seem that Neihart has Just
cause for complaint, Judging from
the following from the HERALD:
can effort will be made the coming
week to secure a special act of legis-
lature providing for the sitting Of
one term of the district court each
year at Neihart. 1t lies in the power
of the Legislature to name the place
of the sitting of court. 1t is highly
probable that the spring term viii
be named as the one to sit at this
place, owing to the difficulty of pas
sing the divide of the Little Belts tt
the county seat at hat time Of the
year. District Judge Henry reside:
in Livingston and "A easily come
by rail to Neihart."

up in the L. S. District Court
The plaintiff in its complaint as
serts that it holds a claim against the
property now held by Mrs. Spoonel
of S11, 900, that it acquired poses
sion of by chattel mortgage ex-
ecuted by NJ. E. Spooner at which
time at the solicitation of said Spoo-
ner, James Marshall was placed il
charge as pledge holder, that Spoon
er then transferred the property tc
his wife and that she ordered Mar
shall off the premises.
The suit is to set aside the sale
and recover possession of the prop

The defense denies most of the al
legations of the complaint and allege
that the chattel mortgage having
been made in California without the
Bank having taken possession of the
property is void. That the Bank
attaching the property acknowledges
the chattel mortgage to be void and
that the attachment having been set
aside the plaintiffs have no legal
rights in the case.
