James Israel through the head at Gal
loway's market. at Mills Mill. at noon

ment, though he might hold ont sev,
eral hours. Odom claims that the
shooting was accidental. but eyewit>

LAY HELL
Traffic Managers Will Revise the New
Freight classification.

Traffic Managers Will Revise the New
Freight Classification.
Montana merchants have been ad.
vised by their eastern correspondents
that there ia a prospect of some relief
from the requirements Of the freight
classification adopted by the railroads
and put into effect about a month ago.
They have been informed that the rail
road managers have given heed to the
protests that have been made t them
in regard to the new classification Of
freights. and are going to make a number
Of revisions that will emove at least
some Of the features the shippers have
objected to. The now classification
went into effect in January. Soon
after representatives of the shippers
had a meeting with the traffic mana
gers Of the trunk roads and stated their
grievances. As a result of the confer
enoe 1t is announced that changes Of an
important character will be made in
the freight classification.
After two or three advisory sessions
with the traffic managers of the princi.
pal trunk lines, the members of the
classification committee have settled
down to a thorough overhauling of such
parts of the new classification as was
complained of by the manufacturers
and shippers at the recent hearing.
The trunk lines have tacitly agreed to
adopt a friendly policy toward the
shippers, and the numerous protests
and requests filed with the classifica-
ton committee will be used in forming
cases of complaint as far as possible.
On authority that is indisputable,
the statement is made that many of
the requests Of the shippers will be
complied with and the official c~lassii.
cation will be revised on liberal lines.
In every instance where the operation
of the existing scale of rates is shown
to be seriously damaging to any par.
ticular industry a change will be made
aud the merchandise concerned will be
classified more simultaneously.
There is good reason to believe that
the prospective revision of the off cial
classification will include considerable
l~essening of the differences between
rates on car load lots aud less than Car
load lots, Upon the existing wide diff
erenoe rests one of the Chief grievances
OF the shippers, IT il said such changes
will be made In this part OF the CLASH.
fioation ne will satisfy the greater por-
tion OF complaints.

HIS GAME PRESERVE.

DIR. Allen Visits Butte in the Interest
of One.
W. A. Allen arrived home Sun.
day from a several weeks business
sojourn in Fergus county. He returned
by way Of Great Falls Butte and
Anaconda, at each Of which places he
made a stop hf a day for the purpose Of
interesting sportsyen in his plan to es.
tablish a great gsfne preserve. in Car
bon county, OF the Saltwater, about
40 miles from Columbus, in this coun-
ty, which has heen spoken Of in these
columns before.
The sportsmep whom Dr.. Allen met
were greatly atfracted<by his plans and
there is nc doubt that he will receive
much encouragement from all wei the
state.
Speaking of his proposed plans, in
which he is being assisted by @. W.
Vest Of st. Louis. A. L. Babcock, 9.
M. Bair. Thos. and W. L. Linton and
0. F. Goddard of this city, Dr.. Allen
says: 1.-THE plans in a general way.
are that. after the preserve shall have
been acquired and properly fitted up
for the protection of the game, a hotel
probably hunters style, Of logs
shall be built. Members of the club
will be charged only the actual cost of
their board and lodging while they are
at the hotel, but, of course. if other
guests should be received there, they
would have to pay regular rates. 1t
has also been suggested that members
might build cabins for themselves on
the preserve, and thus they could enjoy
AL outing at very little expense and
with no unusual inconvenience. It is
a grand country for All outing in the
summer or fall, and the members
would certainly desire to spend much
time there.
III sufficient encouragement is re-
ceived, VIZ will probably acquire the
land and begin work early in the
spring.
Aside from the benefits the members
Of the club will enjoy by reason of
having such a resort. tho organization
Of the club will result in enforcement
of the game laws throughout the state.
For instance, on a recent trip through
Fergus county. a gentleman residing
not far from the Cascade county line
told me that there is constant slaughter
of game it that vicinity. Deer and
chickens are killed ~ of season and
beaver are frequently trapped. He has
the evidence to prove this, but he can
not afford to make complaint. He told
me, however, that if he were a member
of a club such as is proposed, he would
feel that he had ample backing and
would not hesitate to make complaint.
And it will be one Of the obligations to
be taken by a member Of the club. that
he shall not permit the game laws to
be violated with impunity.
1.-The Crees are Strengthening game
all owe the state. AS I came through
Fergus county, I met a band Of them
with seven black-t tai deer Oh two
ponies. Unfortunately, I did not have

killed those ponies"

to sell bonds Of the United States bear
Ing interest at not exceeding 3 per cent.
1t shall also DO the duty of the score.
tary Of the treasury, az fast as standard
silver dollars are coined to retire an
equal amount Of the treasury notes and
to Issue silver certificates against the

sions, too, gold certificates shall be is.
sued against the gold held in the treas.
uly, No United States notes or treas.
ury notes shall be issued IN denomina.
tions OF less than $40 and no silver Ger.
tiheatoh In denominations of more than
$40. The secretary of the treasury IN

notes to the face value of the bonds de-
posted, no bank being allowed to issue

Tho finance committee also offered
the following amendment to the bill,
which was adopted by a vote of 40 to
30;
"The provisions of this act are not
intended to place any obstacle in the
way Of the accomplishment Of interna-
tional bimetallism, provided the same
be secured by concurrent action OF the
leading commercial nations of the
world and at a ratio which shall insure
the permanenoe of the relative value
between gold and silver"

THE ENCH 4TTITUD r..
Withdrawal ofTrocps VIII he Confined

Paris, Sept 12.-Althoueh it is true
that France has accepted the principle
of Russia's proposal for the evacuation
of Pekin, the details are not yet deter
mined M Pichon, the French minister
at Pelcin, has been notified of his gov
ernment's intentions and has been in
structed to place himself in communal
cation with the Russian minister there,
M de Giers, and consult with the latter
as to the method and time for the evac-
uation Of the Chinese capital. In adj
hitting this, the officials of the French
government were careful to explain to
representative of The Associated
Press that the withdrawal of the troops
will be confined to the city itself, and
that the army might camp under the
very walls of Pekin, in order that the
military advantages secured be not
abar doned and that the future may
not call for another conflict The coun-
try between Pel1in and Tien Tsin, it is
added will not be surrendered by the
foreign troops. Further than this, in
the acceptance of the general plan
France will not go until M. Pichon re-
