On the west the country is more open,

The brown bear is the great road

is. as yet, undetermined but they have
been seen in the interior as far as
latitude 81 degrees, and they probably
range still further.

DEATH PENALTY NEEDED.

Certain calculations show that where
the death penalty has been abolished
in Europe there has been a decrease
Of the crime Of murder, but in the
states of the union where it has been
abolished there has been a marked
increase. For instance during the
year 1892 there We're 1913 legal execu-

made a careful study of crime and

been abolished there has been a
marked increase Of The crime Of muir
der and when the penalty was re-

there is no death penalty for murder

John Mcguire, the only John, and who
is as we'll known as any man in Mon
tana, and who knows as many people as
any one in the state, arrived Tuesday
on the special with General Passenger
Agent Whitney Of the Great Northern.
The first official act Of Mr.. Mcguire,
after his arrival, was to purchase splen-
did live eagle which had been caught in
the Belt mountains. This he chris tened
Anaconda and decorated with blue and
copper ribbon, the Anaconda colors.
In speaking OF the capital contest in
Butte, and Mr.. Mcguire is certainly good
authority he said that beyond any ques.
ton, the city and county would give an
overwhelming majority for Anaconda,
in fact said he relatively Helena will
not get any votes Fully 80 per cent Of
the vote will 90 to Anaconda" A few
men in Butte who favor Helena do 80
because they have a grievance, real or
imaginary against Marcus DAILY.
Eliminate that sentiment from the cam
paign and let Helena stand on it's own
merits and it would not get 500 votes in
the county.
