SUPREME COURT CONSIDERING
WEED DIsBARMENT.
LAWYER IS A COURT OFFICER
Attorney General Contends That Ac-
cused's Objections to Disbarment
Petition Are Not Well
Founded.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Helena, Dec. N.-It is expected that
the supreme court will make some order
in the Weed disbarment proceedings
within a few days. The case was SUBJ
mitted to the court on brief yesterday,
as stated in the Inter Mountain, and brief
arguments made by both sides. Judge
N. w. Mcconnell appeared in Mr..
Weeds behalf. and after submitting
his views to the court, he filed with the
court a brief touching the principal
points of the case and petitioning for a
discharge of the application for Mr..
Weeds disbarment because of it's insult
ficiency.
Attorney General Donovan filed brief
with the court, representing Theodore
Mayer, the petitioner.
General Donovan's brief states that
the first charge against Mr.. Weed is
made by the petitioner of his own pos
tive knowledge and the other four
charges in the complaint are made upon
information and belief. Continuing, the
attorney general says:
by referring to the petition it will be
seen that on April H. 1895. the petitioner
paid the accused the sum of 5000. and
the further sum of $175, which sums were
received by the accused after he had
parted title to the property for which
the money was paid to him. thus defraud-
ing the petitioner Of the sums named.
|, Quotes From Welcome Case.
This allegation, if sustained by the
evidence, will be sufficient ground for
sthe disbarment Of the accused"
b Discussing the other four charges, the
attorney general says the objections
filed by the accused are irrelevant, it not
,being necessary that the accused be con-
!victed of crime before disbarment pro-
|fceedings may be instituted against him.
1 Attorney General Donovan here quotes
from the Welcome case as sustaining his
l position that it is not necessary that a
|smember of the bar be first convicted of a
1 crime before action can be had in the
L sspreme court for disbarment
h Mr.. Weed in his brief also cites the
h Welcome case as supporting AIS position
Ethat action cannot be commenced against
ian attorney for disbarment until he has
Z been prosecuted in the courts of justice.
Attorneys for both sides in the Weed dis
| barment case quote from different por-
tions of the decision in the Welcome
case as supporting their opposite conten-
| tions in the case at bar.

petition for his disbarment. the attor-
ney general says that the objections OF

in the early spring. They are very
swift, especially at freshet time, ana
more than one lumberman has round
his first experience in driving the Fiat
head river costly and annoying.
Last spring booms to hold the logs
from going into Flathead lake broke re-
peatedly and thousands of logs were
lost and thousands more were piled up
on the shores Of the lake, entailing an
immense amount of labor and expense
in their recovery.
Monster Modern Mill.
The sawmills of the county, great and
small, number about 80. Most of these,
of course, are of the ground hog" va
riety and their operations are not great
even in the aggregate. The total cut
of all these mills for the present year
will be about 10000, 900 feet. The large
mills number only three. They are the
State Lumber company's mill in Smith
valley, the Northwestern Lumber COM
pany's mill near Kalispell and the
O'Brien Lumber company's mill at Som
ers on Flathead lake. OF the three the
latter is by far the larger and more
modern. In fact, there are few larger
mills in the United States and none
with a more modern equipment.
The work of erecting this mill was
commenced about year ago, after the
Great Northern had built a spur 10 miles
long, from Kalispell to the site of the
mill on the west shore Of Flathead lake.
The site is on what is known locally
as McGovern's bay. placid inlet of the
Flathead lake, down which by far the
greater part of the log supply for the
mill Is brought. The logs are confined
in booms at the mouth of the river and
from there are towed to the MILL The
bay affords room for almost any GUAM
tity of logs.
So far there has been no snow in the
Flathead valley, and logging operations
have been retarded. When the snow
comes the logging will be carried on with
vigor and many more thousand feet of
logs will be put on the river banks than
last year, as it is the intention to run
the OBrien mill "a hours out of "a next
season.
Great Norrhern's Picking Plant.
About half mile from the O'Brien
mill and connected with it by an cleo
trio railway is the tie picking plant of
the Great Northern Railway company.
After the ties are cut they are piled and
allowed to season for 60 days, when they
are put through the preserving process,
from three to Is years.
The process is applicable not only to
ties but bridge timbers as we'll. It con-
sists in first subjecting the timber to
the action Of steam in an air. tight retort
to open the pores Of the timber and
loosen and expel the natural saps. Then
a solution Of nc-chloride, carrying a
percentage of dissolved glue is intro
duced. This solution is applied to the
timber under a pressure Of 100 pounds
for period Of from two to six hours.
The operation is completed BY with
drawing the ziTc-glue solution and in
Producing one of tannin and applying it
under the same pressure for about two
hours.
On the basis of extending the life Of
a tie from four to u years, it has been
figured the Great Northern will effect
saving in it's tie bill Of $3.50 a mile per
annum, or an approximate saving of
$1,000 a year.
The picking plant represents an in
vestment of about 100000. It has been

CIGARS FOR THE CHIEF.
Head of the Department Receives SOC
From Chicago.

Chief of Police Reynolds received an
appropriate Christmas gift yesterday In
the shape of 500 cigars from Grover b.
Simpson, Chicago superintendent of the
Wells-Fargo Express company.
The gift is highly priced by the chief,
not so much because of the intrinsic
value, but on account of the close asso-
Citations and friendships existing between
him and the donor.
Mr.. Simpson was in Butte last fall for
several weeks on business connected with
the Westrum case. and a close friend
ship sprung up between him and Chief
Reynolds.

LIVING WORDS.
The Last Spoken BY Me kiniey
Will Live When Others Have
Passed From Memory.

Rev. Updike preached an eloquent
sermon upon the life of William Nc
Kinley at the tabernacle on the city
lot Sunday night. The big building was
filled with people and during the
course of the sermon there were many
eyes wet with tears. He chose for his
subject, Our God, Our Mckinley and
Our Country"
The most affecting part of the ad-
dress occurred when he mentioned the
dying moments and the last words of
the president. Those words" he
said, will live when many of his
greater utterances will have passed from
memory. No man ever did more for
his country than William Mckinley
and none was more loved by his coun-
try. He would go into defeat with smil Q
upon his face. He would rather have
lost the Office he was seeking than for
sake position that he believed to be
right.
Our country is safe. We have the
principle, and the men who are to sue
oeed William Mckinley will follow
that"
At the close of the sermon, Nearer,
My God to Thee" was sung by the en-
tire congregation. These words"
said Mr.. Updike, will always have a
sweeter sound to us and we shall re-

joicing in anticipation of his recovery
after he was shot. Six thousand peo-

Then came the change, alternating
between hope and fear, until led by the
! hand of fate we came to the fatal mo-
ment. We remember to-day that he will
speak no more to us, but his words will
be among the classics. 1t is said that
the geatest speech he ever made was
at the Pan-American exposition just
| before he was shot.
1T is notable that the three martyred
presidents all came from the humber
walks Of life. How we watched his IN
folding. There can be no better work
held up to God than a finished man.
The next ten or twenty years might
have added to his fame. But who can
tell? 1t seemed to me that as l read
of. his death struggle, how he said good
bye and repeated Nearer my God, to

more than ever how great a man he
was He believed in God. 1t was the
ANCHOR OF HIS SOUL.
He rejoiced that he had the prayers of
Christian people in his behalf. And
know that he thought that God had set
him to do the work that was assigned
him.
I'm 1896, was at Cleveland at the
general conference. He was then gov
ernor and he came there to deliver a
lecture. Ten thousand people cheered
| and applauded him as he entered, but
he made no response to the applause,
but kept his eyes upon a certain en-
trance to the hall. Presently his wife
appeared, and he welcomed her with a
smile, and he was then ready to ac-
knowledge the greeting that had been
rendered him by the mass of people.
II was told by Judge Day that his
first words after he was shot were not
as reported by the press, but he said,
Break it gently to Ida," thinking first
Of his wife.
God bless those who mourn, and
may they feel the close pressure OF
! Gods hand in this time of trouble"
Just before the closing prayer, the
congregation was asked to bow a mo-
ment in silent prayer for the president
who was to take up the reins of gov
ernment, after which DR.. Hall made the
| closing prayer.
The services closed with singing
ASLEEP in Jesus"
All through the services there was a
stiffness as of death in the congrega-
ton and there were many tears shed
by those present, especially during the
impressive singing.

M'kINLEY'S LIFE.
Father Mcclure Delivers q
Sermon at St. Johns
,.r Catholic Church..

At the st. Johns Catholic church.
Sunday, Father Mcclure delivered u
sermon on the life and death of Presi-
dent Mckinley. He said the last
words of the president were our daily
prayer. He praised him for being so
faithful to his religion. He blamed
the newspapers for making caricatures
of the officials of this government from
president down to mayor. 1t lowers
the dignity Of and respect for the office.
He said the portals Of the church and
school house will be draped The chill
dren should be taught lesson to re-
spect the head Of the government. The
teaching of anarchy begins in the fam
lily when parents fail to exact perfect
obedience. William Mckinley was the
greatest and grandest man that ever
sat in the presidents chair.

HIS MAJOR DEAD.
Cleveland Veteran Who Said
He Saw Service With
Mckinley.

Leaning against one OF the white
monumental columns with its drapery
of black on the public square yester-
day afternoon, was veteran of the
Civil war wearing the army blue, says
the Cleveland Leader. Upon his faded
uniform were fastened two or three
army badges and bronze medal. His
face was covered by his hands and
tears were trickling through his fin
gers. He was sobbing bitterly.
Whats the matter?" asked a by
stander.
I'm crying because my old major
is dead" replied the veteran with fall
tering voice.
Who was your major?" several ask
ed.
Wiping away his tears and squaring
his shoulders, the veteran replied:
Major Mckinley, sir. l followed
him for four years, one month and
seven days. i was the dispatch bearer
of the Twenty-third Ohio and many
are the messages | carried for Colonel
Hayes and Major Mckinley. No brav-
er men than these ever lived. The
colonel died some time ago, and now
my old major has gone"
With this he burst into tears again.
He gave his name as Thomas Green, of
No. 292 st. Clair street. He was
wounded twice at the battle of Antie-
tam. The veteran, after telling his
story, walked away with faltering step.

Are Awaiting the Open
ing of the Season.
GAME LAWS
Are Very Unsatisfa etory--lesis-
Iature Will BE Asked
to Correct the
Evils.

The advent of so many shooters in
Canton during the tournament has
stirred up the blood of the lovers Of the
gun, and there has been more than the
usual amount of discussion of topics
along that line of sport. All the marks
men are looking forward toward the
opening of the hunting season with
pleasurable anticipation. 1t is nearly
two months away yet, but the gunners
are specializing upon the prospects for
game when the season does really open.
The present game laws are the most
outrageous that have ever been on the
statute books Of the state Of Ohio.
Everyone agrees to that, and the
DEFECTS OF THE LAW
are being pointed out to every person
who has aspirations to so to the legis-
lature, and II the law is not bettered
next winter it will not be through ig-
norance.
There are many bad features in the
game law, but the worst is that II turns
the entire army of hunters loose at the
same time, and makes the defenseless
quail the victim of all who 60 out, pot
hunters and all.
Under proper law, some hunters
would content themselves with a few
days after rabbits in September. They
would also hunt squirrels in that
month, and II wing shots would go
after woodcock and pheasant. But
these are all protected by law until the
10th Of November. BY that time the
squirrels have gone into winter quar-
ters, the woodcock have gone south,
and when the open season begins there
are but about twenty days Of shooting,
and quail are then

with the rest of the game. The result
Is that all hunters 60 as many days as
they can during this short period and
they hunt quail almost exclusively,
shooting rabbits and pheasants when
they run upon them.
IL the season were longer for the
other kinds of game, many sportsmen
would have had their hunt ont and in
the quail season would be satiDfied with
day or two. This would be protec-
tion to quail and be vastly more salts.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1901-09-17

1t is claimed by many persons, and
even admitted by game wardens, that
there is practically no law for the pro-
lection of rabbits and squirrels. The
market law allows them to be handled
after September 1st, and they can be
killed at any time If they are found to
be destroying crops. A farmer has the
right to grant the privilege Of shooting
them to any one he desires, and the
law cannot reach them.
Sportsmen all over the state are TAX
ing steps toward having a uniform and
fair law passed, one that will conform
to the habits of game and give to the
farmer the protection that he needs.
Reports from the game fields are very
flattering. Squirrels are
MORE NUMEROUS
than they have been for several sea-
sons, but this will avail little to the
hunters. The dry weather of the past
summer was just what was needed for
rabbits. In wet seasons they very often
drown in the nests while they are young
and helpless. The nest of the rabbit
is little hollow scooped out of the
earth, and 1t easily fills with water, and
the destruction of the sightless little
animals follows. The bunnies, how
and the owners of beagles are assured
lots of fine chases.
From the hills and thickets come
good reports of pheasants. They are
said 20 be plentiful and already large
and strong. BY the time the season
opens they will be swift of wing and
have all the tricks for which they are
famous, and 1t will be quick shot that
will bring many of them to bag.
| The quail wintered nicely last season
and most of them Matched in advance OF
harvest, so that there were very few
broods destroyed by the mower and
reaper. A low set mower can make q
pot shot sometimes that would put even
game hog to the blush. The mother
bird and all the eggs are destroyed IN
a moment If not hatched and out of the
road before the grass or grain is cut
Farmers and all who have been afield
unite in saying that never in the history
of the country were there more birds
The
COVIES ARE LARGE
and the birds many of them are now
nearly full grown. There are some
broods of small late hatched birds thai
are 20 be found, but this Is caused by
the first nests being destroyed, when
the hen quail will lay a second lot OF
eggs, usually ten or twelve, and hatch
them out. This fact has given rise tc
the idea that they raise two broods IL
the season, but this is not the case, as
the old birds remain with the brood un
! til the next spring If they are not shot
or destroyed by hawks or animals thai
prey upon them.
There will be no woodcock shooting
in Ohio this year, though there are sait
to be plenty of them in the swales ant
swamps. They migrate south in Octob
er and will all be gone to be the prey
of southern sportsmen before the Ohio
law allows them to be shot. Very fen
shooters hunt this bird, but with it,
