The Right Policy.

Montana Transcript: The Tran
script called attention last week to
fake advertising. much Of which is
patronized by some Helena merchants.
II is probably true that this is In some
instances thoughtlessly done. but II Is
inexcusable as a rule, and Is In exact
line. II business men would stop to
think about IL, with the practice OF
which they so bitterly complain. that
of sending to eastern department
houses for goods. What are they do
ing when they give their money to
travelling advertisers who have not a
farthings interest here, but stay only
long enough to work their schemes. de-
prfve the local newspapers OF legiti-
mate patronage, and leave with their
gains for other fields? For two years
past the trade of Butte City has been
steadily growing In the state, and
Butte merchants are persistent adver-
tisers. but they are loyal to their
newspapers. and support them gener-
ously. BY so doing they have built up
a home press that is second to none in
the United States. through which the
gain to Butte has been inestimable.

o'clock this morning and caught 10
Cinnamon and one Japanese and
white man, who gave his name as j.
johnson, but whose right name Is said
to be Girard, a gambler who formerly
conducted a game in one of the Main
street houses.
The police have been trying to locate
the game for some time, as they knew
that one was running in that neigh
borhood In other fan tan games
nothing but buttons have been used
and the police could not say whether
the Cinnamon were gambling or not,
but in the game raided last night the
gamblers had more than $500 in cash
on the table. One Chinaman stood on
guard at the outer door, but Detective
Meiklejohn grabbed. the guard and
threw him into the alley and broke
the door in and, with Captain Waters
and Officer Gabbert, descended a lad
derway into a dark and dirty den some
distance under the ground. AS soon
as the officers appeared on the scene
johnson began raking in the cash and
the officers raked in the gambling out

the city Jail. All were released, how
ever, except Johnson, one Chinaman
and the Japanese. johnson put up a
5000 cash bond and was also released
and soon after the Chinaman's friends
put up 500 in cash for his appearance
in court this morning, but the Japan
csc remained in Jail.

mour of Tracy. was placed under ar

confident from what information is at
hand that she is equally guilty with
Tracy. who did the shooting. Mrs.
Anderson, who was an eyewitness to
the killing. states that during the row,
just previous to the shooting, the Ray
woman and Tracy made a desperate
attempt to kill Anderson. The woman
was armed with a small axe and
Tracy with a heavy cudgel of wood.
They run Anderson twice about the
house and the woman succeeded in
striking him twice. infiicting severe
wounds about the head. Finally An
derson seized an iron stove poker and
struck Tracy over the head, knocking
him down. Anderson then went out of
the house and entered his own apart
ment adjacent.
Mrs. Anderson induced him to eat a
lunch before he should have his
wounds attended to. and II was while
he was sitting at the table that Tracy
kicked the door in and shot him twice
without uttering a word 1t is said
that when Tracy was leaving the
house "Old Ray" who saw Anderson
stagger across the floor, called to him
and said: Jack. come back and finish
the job; he is alive STILL" Still before
his death, Anderson made a dying
statement Of the occurrences which led
to the shooting The story differs
in none of the important particulars
from that told by Mrs. Anderson. The
Anderson woman has been brought
here and will be held as a witness for
the state

Hale asked German how II had hap
pened that the democrats. having al
ready five free coinage men In the n
nance committee. had elected to place
another man advocating free coinage
on that committee.
To this German replied that the re-
publicans. having full control. had
placed two free coinage men on the
committee. Teller here interrupted to
say that II the two free coinage men
had not been added. II would have
been impossible for the republicans TO
organize at all
Chandler followed In humorous
and sarcastic vein. saying he hoped
the democrats would soon recover
from the anxiety they were displaying
over the situation. He said the repub-
licans would meet the responsibility.
Harris got the floor as Chandler sat
down. He apoligized for precipitating
the debate that had occurred. Il want

This provoked a laugh and restored

senate went into executive session.

Cockrell called attention to the fact
that of the eleven comittees nominally

so introduced a joint resolution for an
