NEW LAW.
Certain Contracts and Notes Must BE
Filed for Record.

Certain Contracts and Notes Must BE
Filed for Record.
1t is not generally known that at the
last session of the state legislature an
act was passed which provides that all
contracts. notes and other instruments,
involving the sale of personal property,
where title remains with the vendor,
must be filed for record in the office Of
the county clerk, otherwise such con-
tracts are void and not worth the paper
they are written on. Many transac.
tions of this character are likely to &C.
cur in this county, and The Gazette
therefore prints the law, which is:
Section l. All contracts, notes and
instruments for the transfer or sale of
personal property where the title is
stipulated to remain with vendor until
the payment Of the purchase price, or
some part thereof, shall be in writing
and the instrument, or a true copy
thereof, certified to by the county clerk
and recorder, shall be filed with the
county clerk and recorder of the county
wherein the property is situated, other
wise any such contract, note or instru-
ment is void as to the purchaser or
mortgage of such property prior to
such filing.
Sec. 2. The county clerk and re-
oorder shall keep an index record of
such contracts, notes and instruments,
filed in his Office, and shall note the
payment and satisfaction thereof upon
the request of the vendor or his duly
authorized agent or attorney. A fee of
30 cents shall be paid for every instru-
ment filed.
Sec. 8. Upon receipt of the purchase
price, the vendor shall cause the county
clerk and recorder TO enter satisfaction
and discharge the obligation of such
contract, note or instrument, and a
failure for thirty days to cause such
satisfaction to be made shall render the
vendor liable for any actual damage
sustained by any person by reason
thereof.

HATS OFF TO CHAPLAIN sTULL.
In a Fight He Carried a Bottle Instead of
a Prayer Book.

a Prayer Book.
"There has been a good deal said
about all of the officers of the First
Montana except Captain George g.
Stull, chaplain of the regiment" said
Sergeant Asa F. Fisk, who recently re-
turned from Manila, yesterday, says
the Helena Independent. Nov, Chap
lain Stull is a man deserving praise if
there ever was such a man He has
the respect of every man in the regl-
ment. which would do everything it
could for the chaplain. In the first
place he is entirely different from the
idea most of the boys had Of ministers
of the gospel. I mean by that that
Chaplain Stull is as much a soldier as
he is a preacher. He has proved to be
a man of action. and while he certainly
has never neglected any Of the duties
that fall to the spiritual adviser Of the
regiment, he enlarged his field of USE
fulness in a way that endeared him to
the men.
II suppose a chaplain's place in time
of action is in the rear. Ordinarily he
is not a combatant, and if he exposes
himself to fire it is because he volun.
teers to do it and not because it is his
duty. Chaplain Stull, however, was
never in the rear while the boys were
fighting at the front. I say never, but
if he had any pressing duty at the back
Of the line in attending to the wounded
he was there. He was always III the
place where his services were the most
needed, no matter whether on the fir
ing line or in the field hospital.
1T may shock some good people to
know that instead of going about in q
fight with a prayer book he had instead
a bottle Of whisky, and the contents of
his bottle have helped a number of poor
fellows VINO We're either wounded or
played out from heat or exhaustion.
"The chaplain is a prince and the
boys all recognize the fact. He never
had a thing that he would not share
with a needy soldier, and there is no
Drawer man in the regiment than he.'
