DAVE HUMPHREYS SLAYER.
Joo Cole Arrested and the Circum-
stances Are Against Him.


stances Are Against Him.
Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
BozEMAN. March 25.-Late last night
Sheriff Caldwell returned from Sedan
with Joe Cole, the man charged with the
murder of Dave Humphrey on Friday.
The opinion on East Flathead regarding
the murder is entirely against Cole, not
one of his neighbors doubling his guilt.
Upon the return of the coroner
this evening. it was learned that
cartridge shell picked up near the
Giesey cabin, where the assassin had at
tempted to shoot Giesy, was identified
positively as belonging to a Sharp's rifie
of the same size as Humphrey was
killed with, and known to belong to
Joe Cole. This can be sworn to by Ranch
man Mansfield, a neighbor of Cole, who
at one time owned the rifle and can iden-
tify any shell fired in that gun by peculiar
dent in shell made by plunger. Other
damaging evidence was obtained against
Cole, who, however, claims he can prove
an alibi. The coroner's jury on death of
Humphrey brought in this verdict:
.,Came to his death from gunshot wounds,
feloniously at the hands OF an unknown
person. Cole was found at his home
| and came TO Bczeman willingly.

The INSURANCE ROW.
A District Judge Decides the Continental
Company's Case.

SAN Francisco, March 25.--Judge Nc
Kenna in the United States circuit court
rendered decision to-day in the injunc-
ton proceedings brought by the Conti-
mental Insurance company against the
board of fire underwriters of the Pacific
coast. He holds that the board of under
writer's is legal body and that its MEM
bers had a right to say that they would
not do business with companies not mem
bers of the union. He holds, however,
that the union underwriters had no right
to publicly advertise, through their agents
that they would cancel any Continental
policies brought TO them and reinsure the
holders in union companies. In their
original complaint the agents of the Con-
tinental company allege that an unlawful
boycott had been declared against COM
panies not belonging to the union.

A CRISIS is REACHED.
Great Britain Refuses to Enforce the
Sealing Regulations

SSahu&
Washington, May ls.-An ugly crisis
has been reached in the negotiations
between the United States and Great
Britain looking to the adoption of uni
form regulations for the government of
the seal fisheries this season. The
British government positively refuses
to enact the regulations of last year,
which prohibited the carrying of fire
arms by sealing vessels through the sea
north of the 25th parallel during the
closed season. The United States Off
Gals look upon this as disastrous to the
seal fisheries. holding that the result
will be to relieve the pelagic sealers of
the only restriction which has operated
to prevent an unlimited slaughter of
the herds While killing by firearms
remains illegal, it is realized it will be
impossible to enforce this prohibition
if arms can be freely carried. Sealers
would kill secretly, unless they should
happen to be under the very eye of
revenue cutter. Meanwhile the United
States cutters have gone out under the
old instructions to seize all vessels car
rying arms not under seal. These
must be modified speedily by orders
sent through the Alaska Commercial
Company steamer, which leaves San
Francisco in day or two, OF else there
may be another big claim for damages
ON account of illegal seizures filed by
the British government The attitude
of the latter is viewed with much dis
satisfaction at the state department,
which is considered as evidence of the
unwarrantable concession to Canadian
pelagic sealers 1t is also held that the
effect of the British action is to practi-
cally nullify all measures of protection
for the seals that was conferred by the
Paris arbitration, and it would not be
surprising il this course is persisted in
| il it resulted in a declaration by the
United States of the ahrogation of the
treaty.
