Growing For the People.

This is the grandest old rooster in
Audrain county. He has saved the
people five thousand dollars-directly
and as much more Indirectly In the
past six months. A whole lot Of indie
pendent, up-to-datepeople know this and
have profited by it, but there are some
doubling Thomas, and for their bene-
ft will make ii a clearer. We bought
five thousand dollars worth of new
goods to start with at half original
cost. We sold the goods In the first
place 10 per cent less than shoes were
ever bought in the town. We, from
our experience Of tncug.fpe years. In the
wholesale and manufacturing, have a
decided advantage in buying. We carry
the most complete shoe stock in the
S~tate,and the best lifted up to handle
a big crowd on a busy day. We want
your shoe business.

Arrangements are now being per-

WANT SOME CHANGES
In the Game Law-Petition Circulated
Locally,
company,

Locally.
The following is the petition to
the legislature requesting certain
changes in the game law, which has
been in circulation in Kalispell only
since yesterday afternoon. 1t has
been numerously signed and meets
the appropriation of sportsmen gener-
ally in this section:
We, the undersigned, residents of
Flathead county, respectfully request
that the game law be modified so
that the open season for duck shoot
ing begin August 18th, for the rea-
son that by September I, the ducks
have SO far matured as to have left
the country, and under the present
law there remains practically no
duck shooting for those who observe
the law. We particularly request
that the open season for deer shoot
ing commence on September Is and
end on January Is, for the reason
that there seldom exists conditions
suitable for hunting this game prior
to the first of January. We recon-
mend bounty on mountain lions of
$40. We also recommend that the
number of mountain goats that one
person may kill in single open sea-
son be limited to three. We re-
specially urge that no further
change be made in the game law,
other than such that may secure it's
more general enforcement, and TO
this end are in favor of such reason
able requirements as to the issuance
of licenses as the legislature may see
fit to provide. AS representatives
of one of the most extensive game
sections of the state, we ask a con-
sideration of the views which we
have herein expressed.
And your petitioners will ever
pray.

Thomas Nicholson is Tired Of Turkey
and at Midnight Goes After Hens
Thomas Nicholson was arrested at
an early hour this morning for the
burglary of chicken roOst and had
a hearing before Judge Macarthur
who will investigate the case at 4
O'Clock this afternoon. 1t appears
that Nicholson has been out of work
for month or more and was tired u
eating around" SO about midnight ne
went after good square meal. He
went to good place for it too, per-
haps if he had known all about it he
wouldn't have selected Attorney
Greenman's chicken roost. At all
events he took an even dozen hens,
wrung their necks and tried to dis
pose OF them at the all-night eating
houses, and the officer arrested him
in the act.
The officers declare that he is an old
offender in this line, and turkeys or
any old kind of bird which happens
around his way are his meat. Thomas
denied this in the preliminary hear
ing and says "just hens" are all the
birds he stole.

Antoine Demers, who was arrested
here last week and takes back to

cording to the MissOula c ,rrespondcn.
of the Anaconda Standard, who gives
the following account of the affair
for which Demers is wanted:
"Demers had come to Plains with
bunch of cattle for shipment, and
with his men, was taking in the town.
Toward morning he became ambitious
to shoot out the lights in urrePs
saloon. He fired one or two shots and
his gun was taken from him by force.
He left the saloon and returned soon
after with another gun. He took
one shot at hanging lamp with
this gun and in the struggle
that ensued when his friends tried
to take it from him the gun was
discharged and the bullet entered the
leg of Samson, infiicting painful
wound. The bullet entered the uo-
per part of the thigh and ranged
dawnward, coming out just above the
knee. 1t did not hit the bone and
missed all the important blood YES
sells. 1t was thought at the time
that the wound would not prove SER
ious. Demers has been in Kalispell
lately and Sheriff Prescott has gone
there to arrest him.
