san purposes. They have divided towns
taken parts of towns and annexed them
to other towns, changed the boundary
lines of towns so as to increase the terri
torial area of some and diminish that oil
other towns, and have even sought to
change the boundary lines of counties.
The mere increased representation to be
gained in Board of Freeholders has often
been enough to bring about this kind oil
legislation.
At time when the state needed to pro-
tect its own resources and franchises, for
the sake of the revenue due from them to
the State and for the interests of the peo-
pie at large, we find that at the last session
of the Legislature the Republicans passed
the Delaware Dam bill, and the corpora.
tions that may profit by that act are moi
compelled to pay anything to the State IN
return for the privileges they enjoy
under it.
In another infamous measure, the rail.
road commission bill, the corporations
sought to invade the authority Of local
governing boards, and place the streets and
avenues Of the cities and towns under the
control of a commission. 1t would have
been easier for corporations seeking fran
chises for street railroads to obtain such
grants from single commission than from
the different local bodies. and but for the
indignant opposition that Democratic
minority was able to arouse they would
have passed the bill.
We condemn the passage of laws under
which the oyster lands Of the State have
been given up 10 squatters who have APP
propriated large tracts of these lands to the
exclusion and injury of large numbers Of
citizens of the State heretofore engaged in
the business OF gathering oyl tiers and
CLAIMS, and we pledge the Democracy Of
the State if given control of the Legisla-
ture, to thoroughly revise the oyster laws.
We declare that under the extravagant
and reckless administration Of the Republic
can party, the municipalities of this State
have been permitted to become oppressed
with an enormous weight of debt. That
during the past four years that indebtness
has about doubled. In disregard of that
economy which should guide in public af.
fairs, they opened up the gates of Legisla-
tion for flood of municipal debt. Under
Republican administration this debt has
grown from about SAC, 000, 900 in 1890 to
about 500, 900 900 at the present time.

a sin and a shame to let any house

neglect when there were patriotic

So we at once took hold of this good

guess we do. In the first place, the
man who owned the old house came
right forward when he found that We

old house down and put up a new one
in its place unless he could get what

We're not discussed in open meeting. but
they were understood. TOhe city of
Butte was to be made unattractive to
:he undesirable element. The commit
tee districted the city and assigned the
districts to trusty men who knew a
thing or two about the class they had
to deal with. A census of the inha bit
ants was taken over; every man who
could not account for his presence or
furnish references as to his good char
acter and good intentions was warned
that he had better be absent ct roll call
within few hours. Most of the men
went without n second warning. Some
of them were rounded up in bands and
escorted by mounted patrols to points
outside the city. Others were taken in
hand by the police.
The exodus from the big copper camp
occasioned a number of other similar
alliances in smaller towns that feared
the men driven from Butte. These
committees stood guard as the fleeing
pilgrims came through, and warned
them not to tarry. East Helena formed
a committee and passed resolutions de-
claring that lin case of such impor-
lance the laws delays are to be CON
demned."

Remarkable Story of an Arizona Pro-
cess For Saving Gold.

The following lusty yarn is related by
a Phoenix. Arizona. correspondent of the
Denver Republican:
There has Just arrived in this city
most remarkable Cochise country gold dis
covery story that is at least highly inter
esting. The name of the lucky discOVerer
is Juan GARLIC. He is a farmer in the
southern part of the county very near the
Mexican line. and it now appears he has
the most unique and valuable salt lick in
the world.
Heretofore Carrillo's chief industry has
been that of raising cattle for the east
ern markets. Recently he set apart
number of steers to be fattened for his
own domestic use. and a few days ago
he killed one for the immediate consump-
ton of himself and neighbors. After cut
ting the meat and dividing ii among his
neighbors. Garlic had the stomach pre-
pared for tripe in the usual manner. Upon
submitting this organ to the customary
lining filled with some hard substance
that was Embedded in the sDongy folds
wherein the castro juices originate. A
closer examination showed that this sub
stance was nothing less than free gold
and with careful saving and washing it
is said that he procured nearly four
ounces of the precious metal from that
one stomach.
Garlic and his neighbors were i'm
mensely astonished at the big find and at
once set to work to discover theory that
would account for the presence of the
gold IN the steers stomach. 1t was
learned that the animal had been pas
turing in the salt lick fields. a rather
large. rather saline deposit on the Car
rillo ranch. 1t has been known for many
years that almost the entire region
abounded in gold placers. but the shining
particles are of that degree of fneness as
10 dc'-t. either The siiice or the rocker
and the placers could not be proitablv
worked. A careful inspection of the salt
lick under a strong glass disclosed GOOD
color. but of exceeding fineness 1t ap-
pears that the steer had licked up more
than four ounces of free gold in less than
two months. The salt in the earth had
chloridized the metal and the lining of the
stomach had served in the manner of the
coarse blanket at the bottom of the sluice
in preserving the gold

DAYS OF VIGILANTES.
Early Days Recalled by the Action
of the People in Butte.

Montana was once famous Cor the
effective work of it's ''vigilantes' in
suppressing lawlessness and crime OF
every sort. and in organizing a sem
blance of government out of the chaotic
conditions that prevailed in the early
days. The work of the vigilance COM
mittee would have been criticized in
another community. but here IL was
then a positive necessity. Such gov
eminent as there was had fallen into
the hands of the enemy, Sheriff Plum
mer himself being the leader of road
agent band and his deputies, to whom
the people might appeal for aid, being
co-consDirators.
Today the sheriffs do nat stand in"
with the road agents. but the people
have been convinced that the slow
methods provided by the law are not
effective to protect citizens, and they
have taken the law into their own.
