Petitions Presented to the Supreme
Court Asking for His Reinstat>-

Court Asking for His ReInstats-
ment.
A Helena special to the Great Falls
Tribune says:
This morning the supreme court was
petitioned to reinstate John B. Well
come in the practice of law in the
state of Montana. The petitions arc
signed by the leading members of
the Montana bar and many other
prominent citizens of the state. Judge
Bach of Helena presented the petit
tons, and, in an able, eloquent and
forceful speech asked the court to re-
store the rights of practicing the legal
profession to Mr.. Welcome, whose
reputation as an attorney had always
been excellent.
John +. Forbis and Jessie B. Roote,
leading attorneys of Butte, spoke in
a similar vein, as did also Attorney
Clayberg and Judge McIntire of Hell
ena. They argued that Mr.. Welcome
had been a practicing lawyer for many
years, and that it would simply be an
act of justice to reinstate him at this
time.
One of the longer petitiOns--and-
there were several-recited: THAT

firmly believe that the members of this

ed of record were guided solely by
pure motives. a strict sense of duty
and high sense of honor, yet we be-
lieve that it is the opinion of large
majority of the citizens of Montana
that Mr.. Welcome. ought to be rein
stated to the practice of his profes
sion. Waving all questions which
were involved in the disbarment pro
ceedines against Mr.. Welcome in the
honorable court. we therefore respect
fully recommend the request that Johr
B. Welcome be reinstated as an at

courts of Montana"

Mr.. MIGRANTS REJECTION.

Referring to the rejection by the
senate of Mr.. Ingram's appointment
as member of the board of managers
for the soldiers home. Governor Toole
is reported as follows in the Helena
Record:
If had any opportunity OF answer
ing objections to appointments at the
time the appointments are made,
could save good deal of misunder-
sanding" said Governor Joseph X.
lOOle to the Record yesterday, in
speaking of the reasons given for the
senate's refusal to confirm the ap-
pointment of Al Ingram of Flathead
county, as one of the commissioners
of the state soldiers home.
1T has been said that the appoint
ment of Mr.. Ingram and Mr.. Howe
makes the board solidly democratic.
when, in fact. it would still stand
three democrats to two republicans.
P. H. Manchester, department com
mander of the Grand Army. who is an

so is DIR. c. B. Miller. one Of the hold
over members. John l.. Sloan of Mis-
soula, the other hold-over member, is
a democrat, as are Mr.. Howell and
Mr.. Ingram. There is no reason why
l should not appoint three democrats
among the five members, provided
they have the legal qualifications.
1T has been said that Mr.. Ingram
is not eligible because he is not a vet

the qualification required by law, fol

Says He Is Sorry for His Attacks on
Religion, but Is Happy.
Luther R. Marsh, who, despite the
radical differences of their religious
beliefs, was great admirer of the
late Robert G. Ingersoll and his warm
personal friend, says that through the
mediumship of Mrs. Clarissa j. Huy-
Ter. he has had several spirit messages
from the great agnostic. The first mes
sage was merely that there is a life
beyond the grave. and that death does
not end all. 1t contained, also, an
expression of his regret that his adj
dresses and writings have been the
means of leading many away from the
paths of light.
Later messages have conveyed the
assurance that through some miracles
of Divine goodness, all of the great
unbeliever's scOffings, ratings and
blasphemings have been forgotten and
forgiven, and that he has been re-
ceived in heaven. where he is happy
far happier than he ever was while

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1901.
GIVES HIS REASONS.

The Bee has received the following
communication from County Commits
sioner Christensen:
Mr.. Editor-A friend has informed
me that the Bee asks my reasons for
objecting to call in the $4,000 bonds
and advertize for $4,000 loan.
Allow me to say that was opposed
to the first proposition for the reason
that the county holds check of N. w.
Harris & Co., for $4,000 payable if
Harris & Co. failed to take the bonds
after their attorney was satisfied the
bonds were good. Their attorney was
satisfied that the bonds were good,
but Harris & Co. failed to put up the
$4,000. Therefore the check ought to
be collectable. My opinion is, that in
cancelling the bonds, We cannot col
lect the check or any part of it.
AS to the $4,000 bond advertise
ment, had the proposition been carried
according to law, there would have
been no occasion for the attorney
general to recommend the liberal con-
struction of the laws. l always held
that the bond proposition did not car
ry according to law, and the attorney
generals opinion confirmed my view.
One thousand out of 2,442 votes Is no
majority.
am not at all opposed to the build
ing of court house, but am opposed
to any expenditures where the county
receives no equal value for it's money.
Finally l regret that the Bee did
not give me occasion to appreciate the
courtesy of sending me copy of the
issue in which the article appeared.
H. o. CHRISTENSEN.
The Bee is more than pleased to be
able to place before it's readers Mr..
Christensen's reasons for voting
against the recall of the $4,000 bond
issue of year ago, and against the
further proposition to advertise and
sell the $4,000 worth of bonds voted
for court house and Jail purposes at
the recent election.
However, so far as the Bee is con-
cerned, it cannot agree that Mr..
Christensen's objections as set forth
above are sound. The collection of
the Harris check would doubtless have
involved the county in an expensive
and tedious law suit, pending which,
the issue of $4,000 bonds could not
have been recalled, and the building
of courthouse and Jail delayed cor
respondingly. And voting against adj
vertising and selling the bonds author
lied at the late election is not means
of proving the soundness of the attor-
ney generals opinion concerning their
validity. All the presumptions are in
favor of the validity of the bonds un-
til it is decided otherwise. and if the
commissioners make no move toward
disposing of the bonds, there can be
no move made toward settling beyond
dispute the question of their legality
There is an official decision against
the $4,000 bond issue, and all the
presumptions are against it's legality
The situation is exactly the reverse
as regards the bond issue authorized
at the general election last fall.
The failure to send Mr.. Christen
sen a marked copy of the Bee was al
oversight which this office regrets.

Politicians Resting Till Gov.
jenkins Returns.
MAIL is ACCUMULATE
Flynn viii Personally Take
Interest in Opening,
MAIL is ACCUMULATING

Guthrie, o. T., June 7-since the an
nomcement has gone abroad that Cover
nor William NJ jenkins and Delegate
Dennis T. Flynn had gone to the Kiowa-
Comanche countrq. the politicians who
have been making trips to the capital city
have ceased for the present but win re-
sumo their travels as soon as the two
men return to this city. The men who
were anxious to receive appointments at
the hands of the governor and who have
been in the city for some time have re-
turned to their homes and viii now await
for the mill Of jenkins administration to
grind out some more appointments.
The number Of letters being sent to
Governor jenkins does rot decrease by
any means and VIII probably keep up
until all Of the appointments are an
nounced for the new country. 1t is the
general impression that the appointments
win not be given to the public until a
few days before the nyw countrs opens
and then they viii all be given out at
once.
Delegate Dennis Flynn after his return
from Anandarko viii remain in the city
for few days and viii then go direct to
Washington 1t is his desire to hurry up
the Klowa-Comanche opening and can
do more work in that connection by be
ing right on the ground. Delegate Flynn
is doing all IN his power TO have this
country opened up and the prospective
homesteader should not lose sight Of this
fact.
1t may be possible that Governor Jen-
kins may have a trip to washington to
make in the near future in connection
with the indemnity school lands and if it
is any ways soon, he and Delegate Flynn
viii go together. Governor jenkins viii
return as soon as possible though, to re-
sumo his work and Delegate Flynn viii
remain in Washington for some little
time

1 met z. c. Boudinot and was introduced
to Dave Payne by him and they discussed
this country OF which Oklahoma City is
a metropolis. Boudinot who was an IN
dian and a fine lawyer. had discovered
that politicians had secured the work Of
surveying what was original Oklahoma.
and in examining the law, he found
something that he believed gave a right
to the opening OF this country TO settle
ment and ne had discussed the matter
with Payne who was a typical frontiers
man and open for anything that promised
well. They proposed to me that we
three form a partnership and get the
country opened and found a city right
where Oklahoma City now stands I
thought very favorably Of the matter and
talked with Boudinot several times about
the matter as he had all the facts al his
command and ". c. Boudinot was really
the first man that ever set afoot a move
ment TO open Oklahoma and Payne got
his ideas from him. got back to Wich-
tia and was to have written them about
my part OF the work, but at that time
Wichita was not as large as it is now,
and I did not believe II wise to establish
q city in this country because the chances
were that it would outgrow Wichita and
that was something that did not want
The rest Of the story of oklahoma Is
historical OF course, but Boudinot never
has been given the credit that ne should
have for the opening Of Oklahoma and
the founding OF Oklahoma City. for this
