Eugene Lailierty Set Right.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)


Anaconda, Sept. 27.-In Wednesdays
Inter Mountain an article appeared in
which it was stated that a young man
by the name of Lalliberty had been
placed under arrest by Constable Lynch
for the theft Of a wagon up Sheep gulch.
Several friends of Eugene Lalliberty,
the young man who has the contract
for carrying the mail between Anaconda
and Silver Lake. have been led to be-
iieve that he has done something wrong.
But in justice to the young man, who
has an enviable reputation. the whole
affair was a bungling mistake. True,
the wagon was taken by Eugene and his
brother Homer. but they had a right
to. as the vehicle belonged to their own
father. When they reached the place
where the wagon was. no one was at
home. SO they put a note under the door
explaining what they had done, so the
owner Of the ranch would not become
alarmed that the WACO nwas stolen.

BARBER FORGETS BUSINESS
Knight Of the Razor Leaves a Gus
toner Half Shaved in Order to
Listen to the Band.

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, Sept. 27.-That music hath
charms to sooth the savage breast is
an adage we'll worn with repetition, but
that does not detract in the least from
the truthfulness of the saying.
Yesterday, as "the pickaninny band
was making the rounds Of the principal
streets in Anaconda, it happened that
one of the business men of the city, and
one who is always in a hurry, was in
barber shop. getting shaved.
The lather had been applied and one
side Of the mans face shaved, when the
melodious strains Of the slide trombone
awoke the echoes.
The barber PAUSED in his work lis
tened intently, and, leaving his work,
went to the window to take look.
The sight Of the gay uniforms and the
na!tty drum major was too much for him.
and he went from the window to the
with a razor in one hand and a piece of
a last years almanac in the other. The
customer was entirely forgotten.
Not so the barber. The man in a
hurry waited a moment, then began to
fidget. He turned his head from side to
side and failed to see the tOnsorial artist.
He arose from his chair with the lather
drying on one side Of his face and the
towels. etc., hanging around his neck.
He also looked into the street and a
moment later espying the truant barber,
emerged from the shop, grasped the bar
Der by the coat sleeve and pulled him in
inside.
Then was heard half hour lecture with
the barber as an audience. that would
make any public speaker famous in q
day.
The barber offered no excuse, but re-
lathered the unshaved half of the gen.
tleman's face and continued his work.
making the strokes of his razor keep
time with the popular air, 'Oh, Listen to
the Band"

CASE AGAINST "POKER JIM" WILL
BE DROPPED.
INDIAN IS TO BE RELEASED
Red Mans Son Dies and Game Killing
Suit Will Be Nolled Out of
Respect for His 30.
Grief.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Anaconda, Sept. 27.-Judge Napton de-
parted this morning for Deer Lodge,
where he has gone to hold short ses-
sion of the district court at that place.
One case that will be brought to his
attention is the one of Poker Jirn," an
Indian, and his two sons, who were ar
rested last July on the charge of kill
Ing game out of season and who have
since occupied quarters in the Powell
county Jail pending trial.
Out on the reservation from whence
"Poker JIM came, q death occurred,
and the spirit of young son took it's
fight to the "happy hunting grounds"
The news was promptly conveyed to
''Poker JIM" who at once wept bitter
tears and displayed other evidences of
grief and distress.
The sorrowful father pleaded with the
officials to allow him to so home to the
reservation to attend the burial of his
child, promising hereafter to be good
Indian and kill no more game at seasons
OF the year when it is not permissible
The officers, however, could not grant
the Indians request without an order
Of court.
But the story of the death Of the
child, the distress Of the bereaved pa
rent upon receiving the unwelcome intel
ugence was related TO the prosecutors,
and their hearts were touched with SYM
pathy for the prisoner and his two sons.
Accordingly they displayed willing
ness to drop the case, believing that the
punishment already visited upon the
three Indians would be sufficient and
that they will hereafter obey the law.
The attorneys informed Judge Nap
ton that they would not prosecute the
case so there was nothing left to do
but order dismissal.
Judge Napton will pass on number
of probate matters before returning.

No wonder we didn't bring back any
game with us. I had no idea that we
We're such blamed fools. Think of it!

4 Moral Question Involved.

A question has arisen in the State as to the power of the State Executive Committee to create a party issue, but a discussion of that question is cer- tainly precluded by moral question involved in the pledge of the Demo cratic party to submit the work of the convention to the people for ratiflca- tion or rejection.
 It would make a horse laugh if we submit the New instrument to the peo- pie and order them to ratify it. Such a submission would not be a submission at all. It would leave no discretion in the people-that is to say, in the white people of the State. It would be Hob sons choice again-take this or noth ing. It would be distinct violation of the pledge as to submission oi the proposed constitution to the peo pie.
 This would be so in any State, but in the present political condition of this State it would be doubly so. For there is practically but one effective party in the State. The Populist party has been dissolved The Republican party Is a mere club formed to hold federal office and to select national delegates in return. It is small and exclusive, and is not intended for use at the polls. To order Democrats then to vote for the proposed constitution would practically be an order that the instrument shall be ratified nolens volens, and, it would not a submission of it to the voters of the State in any proper sense of the word. It would be form without substance.
 Whoever votes to order Democrats to ratlfy the new instrument violates the pledge he made when he said it should be laid before the people with the right in them to say 'Yes" or "No' as to it. No honorable man will dc this. No Democrat will do this. The State Executive Committee can ad wise, but it cannot and should not at | tempt to dictate to the people in SC important a matter. ---e people should be left wholly free to decide between the New and the Old, and no one need doubt how they win decide if they are treated properly.
