COYOTE BAIT.

The coyotes have caused more trouble
to the sheep men this winter than for a
number OF years, and as the Landing
season draws nigh the sheep men are
deyIsing various ways to allay the raw
ages of the pests among the lambs.
Fred Gooding, one of our most extern
siye sheep owners, bought twelve head
Of range horses from Judge Eveleth on
SATURDAY. last. When the lambing sea-
son begins it is his intention to take a
horse near each camp, shoot it and then
fill the carcass with strychnine. As the
coyotes have a weakness for horse flesh
this method viii lessen their number
and result in saving many lambs.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.

Wednesday afternoon at about two
O'Clock E. B. Noyes was found dead in
his bed at the Columbia Hotel. He was
from Lowell, Mass, where his parents
reside, and had been at the hotel here
for about week. He was apparently
man about 25 years old and of splendid
physique. His object here was to en-
gage in the sheep industry
Letters found in his belongings show
him to be well educated and of good
family. His possessions here were a
large trunk and satchel well filled with
good clothing, gold watch and sundry
papers and keepsakes.
Coroner Baugh impaneled a jury to
ascertain the cause of the death of the
deceased. Papers examined by the jury
show that the deceased was subject
to epileptical commissions and from the
position and condition of the body when
discovered, the finding of the jury was,
that death was caused by apoplexy,
Mr.. McFall of the Columbia at once
telegraphed the father of the deaceased
asking what disposition to make of the
body. and he was instructed to have 1t
embalmed and shipped, by express, to
Lowell, Mass.

A NIGHT ON THE DESERT.

The hero OF this adventure was Henry
Smalley, aged SO years, resides on Snake
river 40 miles south west OF Shoshone.
There was to be a meeting of .. S.
Grant Post G. A. B., and as Mr.. Smalley
was an officer elect, and DESTROYS to al
ways be at his post when there was SER
vice to be performed, he left his home
! the day preceding the meeting that he
would be certain to be present. Though
carrying a load OF 66 years, he started
| out with no thought other than he would
be found at his post ready for duty when
called, But the sequel shows how easy
! it is for plans to miscarry.
When within about u miles of town a
| sudden and violent snow storm came up,
and, losing his bearings and night COM
| ing on he wandered about when he dis
| covered that he was lost, lost On the lava
desert; no hope OF finding a friendly
roof; nothing in sight but drifting snow
| and sage brush, except in the early part
of the evening he would catch glimpse
of butte, or still more distant noun
tain range. The meagre comfort of even
these objects was soon cut off by dark
ness, which was intensified by the howl
tempest of snow and wind, which kept
up their revels during the most OF the
night.
He tried, repeatedly, to light fire.
but the sage brush was SO wet and load
all of his matches. he was compelled to
give up the undertaking and content
himself as best he could to spend the
night on the dreary waste, without even
the little comfort that a sage brush fire
could afford.
the night wore slowly away, and about
three O'Clock in the morning, finding
clear spot with some rabbit brush near
he succeeded in getting fire.
Daylight revealed his whereabouts to
him; he was few miles from Morley's
ranch, and about II miles northeast OF
Shoshone. He then started to town. but
another snow storm came on, complete
ly hiding every object, and lis horse
preferriug home to any other place kept
bearing off to the left during the storm.
When the storm cleared away so that he
could locate himself again. he found
himself about 10 miles southeast of Sho-
shone. Not relishing the thought of
spending another night on the desert
without food or shelter, and having but
two matches left, he abandoned his
original purpose of coming to Shoshone
and started for home, which he reached |
without further adventure of note.
Considering the age of our hero and |
the terrors of being lost on the desert in
a snow storm, at night, we regard this
adventure as remarkable one. Many
a romance of fascinating interest has
teen founded on less thrilling expert
ence.
Mr.. Smalley saws he felt no inconven-
fence from his might on the desert"
after he had eaten square meal. round
ed at the corners, and had warmed him
self at his own hearth stane. y

OPPOSED TO IMPERIALISM.
John Sherman Is Strongly Opposed to
Exhaustion,

New York, Jan. 25.-The Evening
World to-day prints an interview with
John Sherman in which the latter forci-
bly, expresses himself against expansion.
The ex-secretary of state is quoted as
saying in part:
Il am decidedly opposed to the invasion
of the Philippines. The idea of our coun-
try forcing it's way into these islands and
forcing it's government upon 100000 or
1000 population is monstrous. 1t is
subversive of the basic principle of our
government that the just powers of gov
ernment are derived from the consent of
the governed, and it is a violation of the
traditions of our country
''Then, if you were in the senate. you,
would not vote to ratify the treaty of
Paris as it stands?''
''If l We're in the senate I would not
vote to ratify as it stands. 1 would vote
to withdraw from the islands as soon as
possible. The papers say that 1000 SOL
diers have just been sent to Manila. Why
We're they sent? Are we going to war
against a struggling republic? They have
been lighting for many years against
Spain and have practically driven Spain
out. Are we to take the place of Spain in
tyranniZing over these struggling peo-

There Was Absolutely No Sickness in
Garr's Family.
Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.


Special Dispatch to the Standard.
kalispell, Jan. 25.--There appearing
statement in the Anaconda Standard of
Jan. 81 that Judge Smith of Kalispell
had the previous day sent a telegram
to Helena saying that no member of
Mr.. Garr's family was i'll, and after
wards an editorial appearing in the
Helena Independent of Jan. % purport-
ing to give copy of a telegram which
called Mr.. Carr home to a sick wife. the
previous Thursday evening, the Stand
ard reporter proceeded to investigate
the truth of the matter.
Judge Smith, being called upon, in
formed the reporter that he desired no
controversy with Mr.. Carr or any one
else in the matter. and his telegram
was not intended for publication, but
the judge stated as facts that on Fri
day, Jan. 20, he received a telegram
from Helena asking him if Mr. Garr's
wife was i'll: that he Immediately call
ed up the doctor at Columbia Falls by
telephone and inquired of the doctor
if Mrs. Carr was ill. The doctor in
formed him that he knew of no sickness
whatever in Mr.. Garr's family.
A lady was requested to go to the
house to see Mrs. Carr, and after call
ing upon Mrs. Carr. informed Judge
Smith that she found Mrs. Carr and all
the family in usual good health, and
that Mrs. Carr Informed her during her
call that she expected Mr.. Carr home
that evening for a day or two to rest,
as he had not been feeling we'll lately,
but there was no knowledge upon Mrs,
Garr's part of any sickness in the fam
lily.
Judge Smith, upon receiving such in
formation, sent reply telegram to
Helena stating that there was no sick
ness in Mr.. Garr's family. This tele-
gram stated fact, but was not intend
ed for publication. Judge Smith did
not care to say anything further, as his
feelings toward Mr.. Carr are very
friendly and he wished to avoid any
controversy, but since his telegram has
been given publicity he could not do
less than show it to be true if neces-
sary.
The reporter, by the use of the tel
ephone in calling up citizens of Col
umbia Falls, has ascertained that there
was no sickness in Mr.. Garr's family.

GRATED by all Mr.. Garr's neighbors. The

man; for instance, one ballot so marked
for contestee Whiteside has two names
written near the foot of the tickec;
after these names the cross is placed IN
the same column and in exactly the
same manner as it is placed after the
name of Whiteside, and yet the ma
Jorlty of the committee decided that
the intention Of the voter in this in
stance could not be ascertained.
Intent of the Voter.
I'VE submit another ballot where the
voter placed cross to the left of the
name of Whiteside. and then placed
cross in the circle at the head of the
peoples party ticket. and thereupon
completely erased the name of the
populist candidate for state senator.
The committee decided that they could
not ascertain the intention of the voter
in this case and consequently refused
to count such ballot for the contestee
Whiteside. 1t was agreed by motion
at the beginning of the count that the
committee should be Guided by the
election laws of Montana and the inter-
probation of the same by the supreme
court
1--WE respectfully submit that in the
case of Dickerman VS.. Gelsthorpe, re-
ported in 19 Montana on page 249. the
supreme court of Montana decided that
where the intention of the voter could
be ascertained the ballots should be
counted and that the voter should not
be disfranchised because of some in
formality relative to the marking of
his ballot. In respect to the ballot just
mentioned, it is strange indeed that an
intelligent citizen holding the high Of
flee of state senator could not deter
mine the intention of the voter when
the cross was placed opposite and to
the left of the name of Whiteside and
no MARKING whatever made on the re-
publican ticket, and the name of the
popuist candidate entirely erased. We
respectfully submit that after a care
full canvass of the ballots before us,
and in the light of law and common
justice, there can be no question in the
mind Of any fair-minded and unbiased
man as to the result of the election in
this case. Contestee Whiteside re-
ceived at said election 700 votes and
the contestant Geiger received only G94
votes, all of which appears by reference
to the majority and minority reports
candidly and fairly considered in this
matter
''We therefore recommend that the
19 ballots submitted to the senate for
inspection be carefully considered and
six thereof be counted for contestant
Geiger and 13 thereof be counted for
contestee Whiteside. and that Senator
Whiteside be permitted to retain his
seat in this senate and the contest
question dismissed"
