Downey dropped hold of his victim and
fierce fight took place between him

doing considerable "growler rushing
between their cabins and his place or
business, but immediately after the hrst
burglary the business ceased.
A few days ago the 'growler rush
ing" was resumed and Jones decided
that his patrons were simply paving the
way for another raid on his goods. he
notified the county attorney and sherllt
of his suspicious and the latter arranged
for a couple Of deputies to guard the
place each night.
Four nights they watched in vain, but
on the fifth it was all right.
When caught in the saloon the three
men first named We're loading them
selves with goods. Later in the day
Deputy Sheriff Proebstel with Deputy
Dobson and Mr.. Jones. visited the several
cabins of the gang and made a thorough
search for the purpose of ascertainlng

saloon on the 18th were there. deck

things which Jones identified as his rop-

which will afford employment to large
number OF men. The culture of sugar
beets is likely to become one of the lead
ing industries of Montana.
Sometime ago the managers of the
Thornton estate became interested in
the project and they will probably CO.
ope. ae with the Daily estate in furnish
ing the capital necessary to start the un-
dertaking off in a manner which will en-
courage FARMERS to grow beets on an eX-
tenSive scale.
All farmers in the Bitter Root region
have been seen by representatives of the
Anne. lean Beet Sugar company and
advised to plant beets this spring. \
number have taken the advice and the
first crop of beets produced for the fac
tory will doubtless be large.
The farmers are disappointed at the
failure of the Legislature to pass the
beet. sugar bounty bill. but this will not
be permitted to Interfere in the slightest
with the plant of the promoters. 1t is
now only a question of railway freight
rates, and the likelihood is that this
stumbling block will be removed at an
early date, when the active work of
construction of The factory will begin.
Those present. during the recent legis-
lative session will recall with amusement
a verbal set-to between Representatives
Stull and Common Of Cascade over the
passage of the beet sugar bounty bill
Stull was an ardent supporter of the
supposed measure and Common just as
firmly opposed to 1t.
Why" said Sonnor the gentlemen
supporting this bill might just as Well
pass a bill giving a bounty to farmers
experimenting with new kinds of hay. I
have a friend near my town who is
growing a kind of hay a little different
from the ordinary brand and I would like
to see him given some encouragement in
the project
In view OF the remarks of my friend,
Representative Connor," said Stull in
reply, Il think it might be a happy
thought for somebody to introduce bill
furnishing a bounty on hayseeds."
This turned the laugh on Conner, but
he had his revenge when vote was
taken. The beet sugar bounty bill perish
ed of asphyxiation in an uncongenial
! legislative atmosphere.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DONOVAN SAYS
GAMBLING MUST STOP.

state. I regard these instruments of
gambling as being detrimental to the
morals Of the boys of this state; and
many grown men are not free from
gambling in these slot machines.
The law is clear, plain and specific, and
I desire to have you notify your sheriff,
constable and police officers to vigor-
ously enforce this law.
"There was upon the statute books Of
this state a law making gambling peni-
tent airy offense, but owing TO the severity
of the punishment, public sentiment was
against its enforcement. This new law
has been substituted for the old one, and
it was the judgment of the session of
the legislature that this was the wisest
measure that could be enacted to prohi-
bit these evils; and l now desire that the
law be vigorously enforced and that ev-
cry place where gambling or 'nickle-in-
the-slot machines or peeposcopes are on
exhibition be prohibited from using
them; and that the parties using them be
prosecuted, as provided by law, and that
this law be enforced without fear or IA
vor. Kindly attend to this matter at
once"
The county attorney is not in Butte at
present, but in his absence Alexander
Mackel, first chief deputy is looking az
ter the business Of the office. In regard
to the letter he said today that nothing
would be done along the lines suggested
by the attorney general until after the
county attorney returned and C. A. Rus
