Lee-Garvin Case REPRESENTATIONS

Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Helena, Dec. 20.-The second day of the
defense in the cattle stealing case brought
against William E. Lee and Samuel
Garvin, closes tonight.
Col. O. F. Goddard Of Billings, counsel
for the defendants, who are charged
with grand larceny and indicted on eight
counts by the last grand jury, made a
statement Of the case to the jury. He
declared that it had not been proved
that either Lee or Garvin changed the
brands or branded a single government
or Indian animal.
Attorney Goddard told of Samuel Gar
WINS first appearance in Garvin's basin
and of his purchase of the stock and lease
of Henry c. Lowell who had previous to
eight years ago occupied the basin. Rob-
ert E. Lee hired out to him as his fore
man four years ago, with the understand
ing that he was to be allowed to run a
number of cattle in the basin.
There are no partnership arrangement
and the cattle were to be kept sepaf .ie.
In 1890 Garvin purchased from two
men, Smith and Anderson, what was
known as the mashed o brand, that had
figured so conspicuously in the trial.
Later he purchased more than 100 head
OF cattle that were branded o T. The
defense intended to prove that the cattle
were branded thus when Garvin received
them. The bill of sale for the Smith and
Anderson cattle was made out by the
former owners at the Ewing ranch the
day after the cattle We're delivered.
Colonel Goddard further stated that a
number of people went into the basin
after the purchase. and no attempt was
ever made by Garvin to conceal the cat
tie. The defense would further prove
that 1t would have been impossible to
have rebranded the cattle as charged
The first witness for the defense was
Bud" Littlepage, well-known cowboy,
who gave expert testimony upon brand
ing. He testified that two men with
trained horses could not brand more than
Is or 80 head of cattle in a day.
I.ittlepage said that while it might
have been possible for two men to have
branded the cattle over the D and c o
brand with the mashed O brand in an
open shoot. he had never seen such a

DEALERS MUST STAMP
LIQUOR PACKAGES
Internal Revenue Collector Howell Has
Received Instructions Which Will
Interest Retail Liquor Dealers.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Helena, Dec. 20.-Captain Howell, dep
uty collector of internal revenue, has re-
ceived from Commissioner Yerkes a copy
of an opinion regarding the taxing of
wines that are taken from the original
packages and put in smaller packages
and Sold
The law which exempted such small
packages from taxation where the wine
had been taken from a larger package
was intended for the benefit of saloon
keepers that they might not be obliged to
pay a tax on every decanter of wine
drawn from a barrel and sold across the
bar
The rule was taken advantage of by
many and large quantities of wines have
been taken from the original packages
and transferred to smaller packages and
sold across the bar without paying tax.
The decision quotes the following para
graph which has been generally taken
undue advantage of my dealers.
Where retail dealer fills bottle
from a barrel for his bar stock, from
which he sells wine by the glass, he is
not required to stamp the bottle
Discussing the foregoing paragraph,
the decision says: THE exemption in
this paragraph was intended to apply ex-
ually a barleeper, uses single bottle
simply as a decanter for the purpose of
transferring wine from a bulk package
to a customers glass; the intent to sell
by the glass being confined by the actual
and constant use of the bottle for that
purpose.
The said exemption is not applicable
to cases where quantity of wine is
transferred from bulk package to bot
ties. there to remain for some time
whether intended for sale by the glass
over the bar or otherwise. In such cases
the general rule stated in the treasury
decision applies, namely: That the STAMP
is 20 be affixed when the wines are trans
ferred to the bottle for sale by the per-
son who makes the transfer.
You will please see that the foregoing
is brought to the attention of the Off
GERS and taxpayers in your district likel,

uIed for "A Tvvcnty-Round Bout.


uIed for Twcnty-Round Bout.
Tommy Corcoran will fight Owen Zeig-
Ter at the theater March 4. was the an
nouncement made yesterday. AS might
be imagined, it created no little interest,
not only in the circles of sporting men,
but also among the much larger class
which generally furnishes the bulk of the
spectators at such shows.
A careful inquiry developed the fact
that the match has not yet been arranged
definitely but that Corcoran has signed
the articles for a twenty-round bout for
a decision. and that Zeigler is expected to
sign them, probably to-day. and forward
them at once back to the party that is
backing the game at this end.
Corcoran could not be seen yesterday,
but from one of his friends it was learn
ed that this match was brought about at
Corcorans wish. Corcoran feels deeply
the recent defeat at the hands of Burke,
who, he thinks put him out by a chance
blow, and whom he thinks he could whip
If given another chance AS Burke has
denied him an opportunity to get even,
and as Corcoran has heard some sharp
criticisms of his ability as a fighter, he
determined to redeem himself by taking
on a top-notcher, and showing his friends
as well as his critics that he still knows
something of the game
Among the sports there is a division of
opinion as to the outcome of the PROPOSED
bout. Some think that Corcoran has very
little chance of staying for even a few
rounds, while others think that he may
stay the limit; all agree, however, that il
the bout takes place it will be good and
hot from start to finish. There is little
doubt that whatever the result of the
fight, there will be no scarcity of specta-
