1t is said the animal bounty fund is

deficit before the Legislature meets
again and takes measures TO replcnish

interest in Kidding the ranges was the
aim of the latest bounty law II seems
to be getting in some overtime. In
some quarters there are apprehension,
of fraud. a doubt rs TO all of the scalps
being taken from stock-destroying ami

forced and reputable witnesses re-
quired. 1t is impossible for Montana
