Fred " Koffoid and John y. Lar
sen are, or have been, partners in the
business of stairbuilding. Mr.. Lar
sen wanted a settlement and, with
the idea of securing ii went to the
residence of Koffoid Friday evening
about o o'clock. He was not disaP-
pointed. but the settlement came in a
different form from the one expect
ed. Saturday Mr.. Larsen appeared
i'm Justice Altman's court and filed
information against Koffoid charg-
ing the latter with assault and bat
terry. Mr.. Larsen was frightfully
beaten up. had both his eyes in
mourning and all the other portions
of his face swelled and discolored.
Naturally Judge Altman. who has a
kind heart. felt sorry for the com
plainant and had Constable Holiday
bring in the accused with all possible
haste. When the prisoner arrived
the justice found his supply of sym
pathy taxed. Koffoid was also
mass of bruises and looked as though
he might have got the worst of il in
the wreck of the West Third street
tolley car. The case was continued
for n hearing sometime this week.
1t is understood the two men got
into n fight in the back yard of the
home of one of them, and being
evenly matched in strength and en-
durance, kept up the contest until
each had suffered severely. The
difficulty of trial appears to- be in
the fact that no third party saw the
mixup.

whether he had reached any con-
cusion as to the true nature of the

MR.. FAUsT's ROAD LAW.

1t would not be exactly fair to con
denim Representative Faust's road law
upon the bare synopsis of it's provis
ions which has appeared in the pub
lie prints. But from what has ap
peared one gets the idea that it is al
together too elaborate and expensive
for the requirements of sparsely
settled state like Montana. From
the information at hand it appears
that each district Is to have a board
of three trustees who are to be paid
$25 each for their services which arc
to be purely of an administrative chac.
acter. The present road supervisors
are paid for work on the roads actu
ally performed, but it seems to be
the purpose of Mr.. Faust's bill to pay
SIS a year in each road district for
men who will, for the greater part do
nothing but draw their pay. In a
county containing 80 road districts
this would mean an outlay of $225O per
year for viewing roads, etc, quite a
large amount and sufficient to pay
one man to devote his whole time to
such work and see that it is well done.
but divided in to 80 shares of SIS
each it would be wholly ineffective.
There is not reliable man in any
road district who would accent such
a position.
Again, it seems to be the purpose
of the bill to tax each district solely
for the maintenance of the roads IN
such district and no more.
Under such rule there are districts
where the residents would pay an
enormous tax or have no road i'm
provements whatever Take the To-
bacco Plains road in this county for
instance. For fifty miles it travers-
es timbered country owned nearly
exclusively by the state, and which

self and the inhabitants thereof were
required to maintain the road in good
condition. Could they do it? Hardly
Montana is not yet ready to apply
the district school system for the
maintenance of it's roads and if that is
the purpose of Mr.. Faust's bill it is not
likely to meet with much encourage
ment.

side. He is English to his finger tips.
He is popular with both the masses
and the classes. He has no sins Of
political scheming to atone for. His
sympathies are all with his country
in the South African complications.
He has cheered the troops upon their
departure for the front, and then
again upon their return home. Will
Germany be the less friendly with
him on the throne? Why should she |?
Will France and russia become ag-
ressive? Why should they?
The queen has been a great influ-
ence for peace and good throughout
the world, and the world loses by the
relaxation of her grasp on affairs.
But those who are arranging the GER
ements for the British empire are
ludicrously premature in their act

WILL CLARK BE ADMITTED?
The Senate Is Sole Judge of Its Mem
bership.

William A. Clark, of Montana, who
is unquestionably possessed of con-
siderable money, and is more or less
a member Of the United States SEN
ate, is expected in Washington, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Journal. The question OF
immediate interest to Clark, and to
some other people, is, will the oppo-
sltion be renewed to his taking his
seat in the senate? His old enemy,
Marcus Daily, is dead, and with that
event the handspring of the opposi-
ton is gone. Chandler has been de-
feated; and thus another obstacle is
removed, for Chandler was the ami
mating spirit of the senatorial inves-
tigation which convicted the Montana
millionaire Of buying about every
thing worth while in the political fab
rio of Montana. Then his title has
been perfected by new session and
reelection of and by the Montana
atively clear.
But there still remain Senators
Hoar and Burrows. Both are said
to be still intensely opposed to Clark;
and of course both are equally incor-
rutible. 1t will be remembered that
the senate is always the sole and final
Judge of its own membership, and it
has the power if it has the inclina,
ton to hold up it's hand and say that
no man once convicted by it's own COM
mittee on credentials of the improprie-
ties charged against Clark shall sit
in it's midst.
But Clark is said to be very hope
full. He is figuring on sinking his
roots deeply in the national capitol.
If his seat is not questioned he will
tear down the big house on Dupont
circle which he bought from old Sen
ator Stewart for $4,000, and build
on the site palace which will aston
ish the natives. He will go into the
social game to win, and it is predicted
that his entertainments will be on a
scale to make Coal Oil Johnny think
himself a til-horn sport. He will
train his guns on the strongest bar
riers of Washington's most conserva-
tive society, and if he does not break
in it will be because money does not
make Il perfect gentleman.

judice or pigheadedness, the Butte
Miner has persistently misrepresent.
ed the attitude of John r. Toole to.
wards the eighthour bill. Than
Mr.. Toole the eight-hour system has
had no more sincere and consistent
friend. In season and out of season,
in private conversation and in public
speech, he has spoken in it's advocacy
and every one knows it who knows
him. What he stood up for in the
house of representatives was that the
law should be fair, honest and rel-
sonable. He gave good and sufiici-
ent reasons why the law should not
be Immediately effective, and although
majority of the house would not
listen to him, the senate recognized
the force of his argument and amend
ed the bill accordingly; and in finally
concuring in the amendment the house
finally concurred in Mr.. Toole's
view. He was courageous enough
to speak in public the opinions
he had uttered in private. There were
others who privately agreed with him
all along, but who did not exhibit the
same courage when it came to public
expression.
In fusion circles there has been a
deal of demagogism about the eight
hour proposition from start to finish.
The fusion party in it's platform de-
clared for an eight-hour law with a
clause that there should be no dimin.
ution of wages. Where is such pro-
vision to be found in the law as it
stands? Every man who knew any,
thing at all about law knew at the
time that wages could not be regula.

the fusion platform in that regard was
purposely deceitful. The credit for

Great Britain, Present and Future

Great Britain, Present and Future.

The enemies of Great Britain, un

The apocryphal story of the young
