Jarl himself presented written for

Jarl said he did not care about the
office, but he had received legal advice
to the effect that he was entitled to

to do so. He also urged the council to
listen to Donovan.

A SHOCKING DEATH.
Roger S. Gamble Trampled to Death by a
Horse,

Horse.
Great Falls, April ga strange and
shocking death is reported from Che
teau. The victim was Roger Sherman
Gamble, son of w. w. Gamble, who
lives about three miles from the town.
Both of the Gamble boys, Roger and
his brother, Allen, were taking care of
a valuable Norman horse, which was
afflicted with the disease known as the
blind staggers. In this sickness the
animal usually tries to climb over
everything in sight, and unless re-
strained is more than apt to do HIM
self serious injury.
1t was to prevent this that the two
Gamble boys agreed to stay up all
night with the horse. To make them
selves more comfortable. they made up
a bed in the manger of the stall where
the animal was confined. About 3
o'clock in the morning, while Allen was
asleep in this eXtemporized bed. Roger
came in, saying the horse was quiet
and he would lie down. He did so.
Some time later Allen was reused by a
struggle that was going on, and he
found that the horse had broken into
and trying to get from under the
horses feet. Allen tried to get his
brother from beneath the animals
body, but finding himself unable, ran
to the house and called the hired man
and his father. The united efforts of
the three men were required to pull the
horse off and raise Roger. The latter
gasped once or twice and then was
dead.
1t is believed that he was awake when
the animal broke loose, and in trying
to get out of the way fell under its
body. His death would have been eff
fected by the crushing blow from the
horse, even had it been possible to lift
the animal off directly.
The deceased was born in San An
tonic, Texas, Dec. S, 1872. Six years
later the family removed to Wabash,
Mimi, and in 1896 came to Montana,
where he has since resided.

nIr rron, IN Growing Gr.p,..

Oklahoma City Times-Jourual: Aug
ust Bruhwiler is known all over the
south half OF the county as the grower
Of Cynthiana grapes and the manu-
facturer Of Cynthiana wine. 1t is
generally supposed that he has two or
three acres Of vineyard, giving it only
slight attention. The fact is, however,
that Mr.. Bruhwiler now has ~ acres
OF vineyard and has Delaware and
Catawba grapes as well as Cynthianas.
He isn't through planting vineyard,
either, but expects to add about SIX
acres year for several years TO come.
Mr.. Bruhwiler knows how TO care for
a vineyard and now has his in fine
condition. Do you know what an acre
of good fruit producing vineyard Is
worth? Certainly not less than 500
and possibly as much as $500. A fair
crop is not less than four tons and at
two cents per pound this would bring
sl6O, half Of which should be dividends
upon the land investment. Every
other crop could be total failure and
still the vineyard would pay ten per
cent Oh s4O0 per acre. Mr.. Bruhwiier
has, besides his vineyard, 800 apple
trees in bearing. he does general
farming too, but only just enough to
feed his stock, for his fruit is now oc'
cuPying good part Of his time.

SAY THEY INCREASE PRICES.
Ex-senator Lee, Of Pittsburgh. Tells the
Industrial Commission HIS opin-
ion of Trusts.

Washington. MAY lathe Industrial
commission yesterday heard the first
witness to be called in connection with
Is inquiry into the operation of trusts
The witness was James w. Lee,
II Pittsburgh. attorney for several
Jipe lines aud oil companies and for
nerly state senator of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Lees testimony was directed spe-
tally against the Standard Oil com
Dany. Speaking of the effect of trusts
lpOn the customer. Mr.. Lee said the
endency was TO increase prices until
hey become extortionate. Trusts were
organized to secure a monopoly and
when this was secured by closing
ip rival establishments they were
a position to fix prices, which
we're. according TO his observation,
generally increased in order to permit
dividends on watered stock.
As means of preventing trusts, Mr..
Lee suggested a law making destrue-
i've competition criminal offense. lie
thought the fear of imprisonment
would intimidate some of them. Moth
ng had done so much as destructive
competition to prevent progress and
fairness. The law could be passed by
the states. and in cases of prosecution
prices charged for years could be used
As evidence. He would also suggest
that the capital of all corporations,
except those OF public or quasi-public
nature, should be limited to $1,000, 900.
He thought that something of this
kind was necessary, and that II a
remedy was not found the country
would be ruined by combinations of
capital detrimental TO the public in
terests. Under the present conditions
personal ambition was stifed and
many men were being kept out of
business because of the existence of
these corporations.
