HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.
A Clause In the Codes Makes 1t Obligatory
Upon Debtors to Record Their Home
stead Exemption.


[Anaconda Standa rd.
Here is matter of interest to
every person who owns AZ home i'm
Montana.
The constitution OF the state pro-
vides that 1.-The Legislative assembly
shall enact liberal homestead and
exemption laws" the constitutions
of many of the states carry kindred
provision. The old law of Montana
included sections respecting home
stead and exemption, i'm harmony
with the section of the constitution
just quoted. The law decreed en-
emption for homesteads against exc
cution, to the limit OF one quarter of
an acre, with dwelling. i'm towns, or
a hundred and sixty acres. with
dwelling, i'm farm property, the value
of the whole not to exceed $1,000.
The new code provides that de-
claration of homestead must he filed
for record with the county clerk in
which the property is situated. This
declaration must include a descrip-
ton of the property and an estimate
of it's value. One section of the code
the declaration is filed for record,
the premises therein described con-
stitute homestead" The question
is whether the filing of this declara-
ton goes back so as to apply to
property which served the purposes
of homestead prior to July l, 1888.
| the time when the new code went
into effect.
The code says that 1.-THE homestead
is subject to execution I'm satisfaction
of Judgements obtained before the
declaration of homestead was filed
for record" This, it is expressly
recited, shall not relate to Judgments
obtained before the new code went
into effect; but what is it's applica-
ton to homesteads taken up before
/ the time of the new code? In Other
words must the declaration be filed
for all homesteads obtained i'm this
state before July l, 1895, in order
that these hOmesteads may enjoy

Sauabble Over "A Hoard Bill.

Mrs. A. c. Luke, who operates a boarding
house in the southern part Of the city, is
having a rather unpleasant experience in en-
deavorng to secure payment of a board bill.
Richard j. Con on and wife have been -cupy-
ing a suite of rooms and boarding there for
some time on contract to pay $50 a month,
which Mrs. Luke understood was just half
the monthly salary of MIR. Condon Condor
is reputed to be one of the employees OF the
new telephone company. few days ago some
one conveyed the information to Mrs.
Luke that Condor was receiving a
monthly salary of $50 instead Of 500,
and she saw poor prospects of getting her $50
a month board bill She was not well posted
in Iowa law, but she fitted her actions to the
emergency Of the case, and during the tenn
porary absence of her boarders she entered
their rooms and took possession of everything
they possessed in the way Of personal prop
erty. This consisted Of clothing and two
or three hungry looking grips. These she
conveyed to her own apartments and locked
them up and turned a deaf ear to Condor S
demands for the use Of his wifes and his own
property. To bring matters to a climax
Condor filed an information yesterday morn
ing charging her with theft, and a search
warrant was sworn out Of Justice Vien'S court
and given to Constable Baker with orders to
search the house and bring the missing prop
erty into court IL 1t could be found. This
was successfully accomplished and all Of the
clothing except what Mr.. and Mrs. Condor
had on their persons was displayed to the
curious eyes Of the gang Of loafers that hang
around the justice shops. It was on exhibit
ton all yesterday afternoon, and just before
the hour Of closing 1t was taken to Justice
Walkers court with the case on a change Of
venue. 1t will be open for inspection therj

To Beer or Not 10 Beer.

Can St. Louis collect its beer bills in
Iowa? That query introduced itself before
the district court yesterday by the opening
of the case Of the M. J. Lemp Brewing COM
pany against Goldstein & Brown, who used
to run bottling works and beer shop on
Broadway. The plaintiffs, who belong in st.
Louis are engaged In making beer, and the
defendants were engaged in selling II. In
the course Of trade the plaintiffs sold Gold
stein & Brown about $4,000 worth of beer
and claim that they never got all their pay
the balance due being about 10000 The de-
PENDANTS deny the account, and deny every
other feature of the petition, but they lay
especial stress upon the claim that the St
Louis brewery had no right to sell beer in
Iowa, in the face of the prohibition law, and
that as they did sell they could not collect
under this law. This drags in the question
whether the sales were made in Missouri oil
in Iowa. Goldsten G. Brown claim that they
bought some Of the beer from a travelling
man who came to Council Bluffs and Other
orders were sent from here by mail to st
Louis. The battle will be fought over the
question as to what and where a sale is.

What promised to be a duel to the death
between two noted characters was narrowly
averted at the recent term of the district
court held here. The principals in the affair

Voice, and once known as Jack Flagg, King
of the Rustlers," and Scott Davis, sometimes
called "Quickshot Davis" Davis was IN
Buffalo as a bodyguard for William C. IT.
vine, who was summoned to appear before
the court on the charge Of shooting at and
attempting to kill Al Taylor, Flagg's stepson,
during the invasion of Johnson county in
1898, in which both Irvine and Davis figured
as leaders in the stockmen's party. The
case against Irvine was dismissed by the
court, and he and Davis were at the Occi-
dental hotel preparing to take the stage
for Sheridan. Davis, who was fully armed,
went into the bar room of the hotel to light
his cigar. AS he entered Flagg, whose right
hand graspsd the butt end of revolver,
partly hidden beneath his coat, stepped in
front OF Davis and said
"You are Scott Davis, aren't you?'
"Yes, sir" answered Davis.
"Well," said Flagg, "I want to tell you that
you are cowardly, lying murderer. Ny
name Is Jack Flagg."
Flagg's loud words were the signal for a
dozen armed men to rush into the room.
Deputy Sheriff Tom Smith rushed between
Flagg and Davis and with the assistance OF
Frank Grouard, chief Of United States scouts
Sheriff Al Sprosl, United States Marshal Nc
Dermott and others, the men were prevented
from shooting. Flagg called out to Davis Ia
prove his reputation as a quick shot" and
brave man by going outside and settling the
matter with their guns. He also offered tc
fight 1t out in the same way with any OF
Davis friends. He was, however, taken out
of the hotel and Davis and his party shortly
afterward left for Sheridan.
Flagg. in this weeks issue Of his paper the
Voice. states that he considered Davis pres
ence In Buffalo as a direct defiance and chal-
lenge 10 himself, which his hot southern
blood (he is a Virginian) could not brook. II
is hoped by the citizens Of this place that this
affair is the last echo Of the famous rustleI
war.
