.'THAT DISPUTED STRIP p


Concerning the segregation of
the Blackfoot strip from Teton
county, the attempt of the mon
tanian to inject the county seat
question into the discussion is al
N ost too contimptable to be men,
toned at this time If mr.. corson
can advance DO better reason why
the strip should be annexed to
Flathead than the supposition that
in few years the people residing
there may desire change in the
county seat, then his cause is very
weak indeed The taxpayers oI
Teton county are objecting to the
proposed segregation On broader
grounds, and, we are pleased te
say, there are very few citizens o.
Chotoau who are not lending theil
influence to defeat the bill. The
protest that was circulated las
week for signatures contains thu
names of all the couu y officials
business and professional men, ant
fully nine tenths of the taxpayers
of that portion of the county
Evidently the county seat qlestiol
does not bother them verv much
But let us presume that Chotea,
will lose the co lnty seat if thi
strip is not taken away from US
What then? Can the taxpayers 0
Teton afford to lose assessabl
property that is liable to make th
county one of the frs class, an
bring US in thousands Of dollar

Deputy Coroner Chandler had an inter-

During the first week In July Joseph
Cramtield of Milton, was supposed to have
been drowned off that place A few days
later the body of II man was found floating
near Delaware City. 1t was towed to
New Castle and a jury empanelled by
Deputy Coroner Chandler.
The m an drowned had been steward on
board of Il schooner that collidod with
one OF tho Reading coal barges.
When the man was buried the Company
paid the funeral expenses Last evening
the Deputy Coroner went over to New
Castle and met six of the nine jnrors. They
refused to give verdict unless evidence
was produced to show how the man met
his death.
They told Mr.. Chandler that 1t made no
difference to them whether tho deceased
had n relative or not the rights Of tho poo.
pie are at stake.
Some IN is Mt fault for the loss of the
mans lite and members of the jury want
to see who is the guilty party.
When the man was found his tongue
protrudel about three inches from his
mouth. He had IL pair of CATERS on at the
time and his captain had stated that he
wore slippers.
They have fears that Cramilcld met with
foul play and the jury adjourned to meet
when some one who knows something
about the mans death can be secured.

The New CITY Charter

At the Board of Trade rooms last night
citizens meeting was held to listen TO
John $. Rossell. He wasa member of tho
Municipal Commission appointed to draft
II new charter. City Solicitor Henry G.
Conrad presided
Mr.. RoSscl reviewed tho work of
the commission ana the fight against
the powerful body in the Legislature. He
was of the opinion that the power behind
the scenes was that of hos tile persons to
the people Of thi, city. He explained tho
diff renee between the charter OF NUM-
cipal and private corporation and pointed
out the various provisions in the proposed
charter and tho present one.
1t propose; to lessen the various powers
Of the Street and Sewer Commits
sion, the Water Commission and Police
Commission and make Council the Su.
prone Legislative power. Tho election of
Council by general ticket, which it is ar.
gucd would result in securing men free
from partisan bias, and LEAD to legislation
for the promotion of the interests of the
city. The address was an interesting one
and it may be that the proposed new Char
CT may be eventually adopted.
