WHEN VOTING BEGINS.
In the Senatorial Contest-January

In the Senatorial Contest-January IS.
In the little groups which filled the
Butte hotel lobby yesterday there was
much discussion as to when the vot-
ing for senator would begin and how
it would be conducted, says the An
aconda Standard. While all were
agreed that the voting for the long
term senator would begin two weeks
from yesterday, there's was differ
ence of opinion as to when the voting
should properly begin for the filling
of the vacancy. Some contended
that there being vacancy, the duty
of the legislature would be to start
the first day of the session voting to
fill the vacancy.
Another question which arose was
as to whether ballot should be TAX
en- for two senators right along un-
til elected, or whether one should
be elected first and after that vot-
ing should be started on the second.
1t was pretty we'll agreed, however,
that, under the law, voting should
have to be taken for both senators
each day until one or two should be
elected. 1t was the opinion of the
legislators who were discussing the
matter that each member would de-
clare his choice for two senators
iOinf1Vy ,iYr f0V hn l,oo
and one for the short term. Others
expressed the view that two ballots
would be taken each day, one for
the long term senator and one for
the short term.
Whatever may be the method OF
voting, there can be no question that
balloting is to begin on both sena-
torships on Jan. Is. The law relative
to the matter is as follows
Section 14-The legislature of
each state which is chosen next pre-
ceding the expiration of the time for
which any senator was elected 20
represent such state in congress
shall, on the second Tuesday after
the meeting and organization there
| of, proceed to elect senator in
congress.
Section 16.-Whenever on the
meeting of the legislature of any
state vacancy exists in the repre-
sentation of such state in the senate,
the legislature shall proceed, on the
second Tuesday after the meeting and
organization, to elect person to fill
such vacancy, in the manner pre-
scribed in the preceding section
for the election of a senator for full
term.
Section 17-Whenever, during the
session of the legislature of any
state, a vacancy occurs in the rep
resentation of such state in the
senate, similar proceedings to fill
such vacancy shall be had on the
second Tuesday after the legislature
is organized and has notice of
such vacancy"

NO END OF TALK.
Caused BY Young CIark's Engage
n1ent,

The announcement by the Anacon-
da Standard of the engagement of
w. A. Clark, jr., and Miss Mabel
Foster, of Butte, created no end of
talk. 1t was the topic of the day,
and they talked about it after bed
time.
No announcement made in recent
months has caused so much comment.
There seems to be widespread feel
ing of good will toward the young
couple, and everybody is desrous of
saying something f1atteringly nice
about both of them.
It was formally announced in the
Foster home where an informal New
Years party was give to intimate
friends of the family At function
given on the west side Monday night
the gossip was mainly upon the theme
suggested in the announcement At
the party were several intimate
friends of Mr.. Clark and Miss Fos-
ter. There was talk as to the prob
able time of the wedding. Some
said it would be an ante-Lenton event.
while others felt secure in their state
ment that it was to be a post-Lenton
function of much pretention. Some
thought that it would not be severe
y elaborate event, while from the
other side of the room came the pre.
dlction that the wedding would
eclipse any former event of a SINH
lar nature held in Butte. The latter
is probably the correct guess.
Mr. Clark is the youngest son of
w. A. Clark, and has lived nearly
all of his life. except that part spent
in colleges, in this city. He was ad-
mitted to the bar last year and has
associated himself in the practice of
his profession with Jesse B, Raate.
1t may be said in parenthesis that
Mr.. Clark does not have to call upon
his clients for an advance upon the
retainer in order to pay for his meal
tickets. He is amply prepared for a
rainy day. Indeed he can cope with
deluge for his wealth would. in
comparison, made Solomons roll look
like German pancake after break
fast. However, Mr.. Clark is not a
spoiled boy He has profited by
a splendid course of early training by
wise Christian mother. He has
been led to the knowledge that it best
serves the man to know the value of
money and friends. Consequently the
fact, widely recognized, that he is
master of millions affects him no
more than does the knowledge that
he is merely one of Buttes citizens
Hence his popularity.

CUSTER COUNTY RANGE WAR.
Old Trouble Between Sheep and Cat
tie Ranchers Said to Have Aqai,
Broken Out Violently.

The Yellowstone Journal of Satur-
day tells the following story of the
range war now apparently in pro-
gress in remote portion Of Custer
county. near the Wyoming line and
which is probably a continuation Of
the war that has been going on for
years in that state between the cat
tlemen and the sheep owners of that
portion of the country. The Jour-
nal says:
Eleven masked men raided a sheep
camp on Tooney creek at day break
yesterday morning and killed over
1000 sheep belonging to Daut & Sci
way.
The first news of the raid came
over the long distance telephone from
Bulls store at Otter creek and the
Bull telephoned to Savage's drug
store to inform Sheriff Cato of the
affair and request him to go immed-
lately to Tooney creek, small
branch of Beaver creek, about Is
miles from Otter, also to notify R. R.
Selway at Sheridan, Wyoming, the
principal owner of the band, and L.
r. Ennis, at Selway, Mont.
The Journal telephoned this morn
ing for further particulars of the
raid, but news was difficult to OBJ
tain. It was learned, however, that
just at daybreak eleven mounted men
appeared at the upper corral on
Tooney creek and proceeded to kill
the sheep with clubs. There was only
one man in charge and he was pow
erless to resist the raiders, and took
their advice to keep out of the way.
The identity of the men was con-
cealed by gunny sacks worn over
their heads and they did their work
quickly and effectively and rode
away. The herder showed up at
Bulls store last night and sent in the
first news of the slaughter. There are
conflicting rumors this morning as to
how many sheep were killed and as
to how it was done. The number
stated was from one to three thusand
but the Journals information is to
the effect that there were 1000 sheep
in the band. 1t was also stated that
the sheep were driven into a cut and
were killed by piling up, but no such
news came from over the wire, al
though it is more plausible than the
other story. Until more definite
and positive information is received
it appears that the raiders drove off
the herder, killed a few sheep and
scattered the band over the hills to
become the prey of wolves.
The band of sheep is part of $500
head belonging to R. R. Selway and
run on shares by John Daut The lat
ter has been associated with
Mr.. Selway for a number of years and
has only recently gone into the Otter
creek country with sheep.
1t is difficult to state whether or
not this raid is the preliminary skirm-
ish of general range war or wheth-
er it is merely in satisfaction of a
special grudge.
1t has long been known that there
is bitter feeling against sheep
men in that section and the recent
organization there of some of the
small stockmen into protective asso-
Citations gives color to the presump-
tion that this raid is warning to all
sheepmen to keep out.

In Helena, Preparing For the
Big Fight.
INTEREST CENTERS
Around the Speakership Fight and the
Second Senatorhip Trouble in
Venezuela


gather in the capital, ready for the
senatorial fight in the main, but with
their attention fixed for the time on
the minor contest for the speaker
ship that promises to engross their
attention for a time, says the Helena
Record. Among the late arrivals
Tuesday night were Charles w.
Clark, the son of the senatorial can
didate; John B. Welcome, the man
who managed his campaign two years
ago; c. F. Roe, George H. Casey and
Walter Cooper, of Bozeman, late
chairman of the state central COM
mittee. They had nothing to say
about their prospects, but the an
nOuncement was made that w. A.
Clark himself would be here about
Saturday.
John MacGinniss, Heinze's chief
lieutenant and the vice-president of
the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany, is in the city, also an active
candidate for the speakership that
Frank E. Corbett will represent the
Clark forces directly in his endeav-
ors to secure. The Clark party is
here to urge him as the candidate
for the speakership and to back up
it's arguments with any amount of
assurance necessary of good faith,
for the contest has assumed an earn
estness that it did not promise at
first.
1t was stated last night that money
had been furnished banker who is
strong Clark advocate and that
while it would not appear on the
books of his institution it would be
available if necessary to change the
result. The Clark men were sure
of the outcome yesterday. Having
gone into it to win, they said they did
not believe that there could be a fall
down."
There is story direct from Butte
of how w. A. Clark sent for one of
the members of the legislature and
solicited his support in the speaker.
ship fight
II have elected the majority vf
this Legislature" he is reported to
have said, land am entitled to have
you support Mr.. Corbett.'
How much are the democrats of
this state supposed to give you?' the
member is reported to have said.
You want the long term senatorship,
it is reported, and you want the short
term candidate. Now, it appears
that you want to dictate the speaker
ship and the appointment of the com.
mittees. How much do you want
from the democrats, anyway"
Whatever may be said about that,
Mr.. Clark replied, II believe I am en-.
titled to name the speaker
Mr.. Clark intimated that he need
ed the speaker in his business" The
member declined to assure him of his
support, although he said he intended
to vote for him for senator.
Clark has had rooms at both the
Helena and the Grandon hotels en-,
gagged for him and his forces, and it
is said that some of the members
who are to assist him in his fight
will occupy rooms he has secured.

OF the Great Northern in
This City.
NEWSUPERINTENDENT
Who Succeeds P. F. Connolly Is H. A.
Kennedy, Civil Engineer Other
Changes Expected.


pected in the superintendent office
of the Kalispell division of the Great
Northern, located in this city, have
at last been announced, but up to
the present time the changes have
not been SO sweeping as the stories
which have been circulating in rail
road circles would have had them.
The only official announcement re-
ceived in this city is in the form of
circular letter, which says that on
and after Jan. l, H. A. Kennedy will
assume the duties of superintendent Of
the Kalispell division, vice P. F. Con-
nelly, transferred to other duties.
The announcement of the retire
ment of the superintendent of this
division was not unexpected, as stor-
les to that effect has been in cir
culation during the past two months.
Just what caused the change
has not been stated, but it is known
that this division of the Great North
ern during the past three months has
caused no little trouble, owing to
numerous wrecks and land slides,
which the high authorities decided
could, at least in part, have been
avoided.
Representatives of the general
management are in the city checking
up the office of the division superin-
tendent and it is expected that Mr.
Kennedy will arrive in the city to-
day, and assume his duties.
1t is not known that there will be
any material change in the officee
force of the superintendent, at least
for the present, although it is stated
that the new head of this division
will bring his own chief clerk with
him.
Changes in the train crews during
the past two months hav been so
numerous that there is hardly, what
can be considered, an old man left
among the freight train crews. in fact
it is generally remarked that brake
man who has been on the division
two months is an old employe of the
road.
The new superintendent, Mr.. H. A !.
Kennedy, comes to this division from
West Superior, Wis, where he has
been in the maintenance department
of the Great Northern. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Kennedy seems to point
to changes on all divisions of the
Great Northern. Some time ago
there were stories going the rounds
to the effect that Chief Engineer
Stevens would be made general man
ager of the entire system, and that
he would appoint civil engineers as
superintendent of all divisions.
The fact that Mr.. Kennedy is a
civil engineer, has never been a su.
perintendent, and all that, has caused
the wise ones to believe the appoint.
ment of Mr.. Stevens as general man
ager will occur at no distant day
and that the policy followed by the
Northern Pacific in employing civil
engineers as heads of divisions, will
be the result.
Changes in the management of the
road from the president down are
looked for at any time as the retire
ment of President J. j. Hill in favor
of his son, J. N. Hill, is expected in
the near future
