DoNovAN's HIGH / A

Attorney General Donovan evidentl,
wants it understood that he was no,
i%ndulging in their W propensity Il
bluff when he passed up the word tt
the gamblers that gambling must cease
In the state. When he first sat dowr
in the game the boys thought that he
intended to play no more than one
hand and bet him to hold nothing big
ger than a peir Of deuces but sub
sequent events go to show that he has
nothing smaller than kings, four OF
them at that, and knows that the aces
are still in the deck. At least he is
playing the game over at Anaconda
in such a manner as to warrant q
belief Of that sort.
Just now he is calling the sheriff
and county attorney of Deer Lodge
county and has removed the limit,
with the district court to referee the
sitting. He says that the two gentle
men have tried to play marked cards
on him and asks the court to order
them out Of the game because they
refused to play the hands which the
law has dealt to them, and order two
other players to take their places.
Pending the outcome of his efforts to
have the two officials removed for
neglect of duty, he has begun pro-
ceedings against a number of men of
Anaconda for permitting gambling
games to be conducted in their places
and for gambling. All Of the accused
have been arrested and it is thought
will waive examination and allow their
cases to go to the district court.
Meanwhile the attorney general Is
shutting the cards and declares that
there are other places besides Ana.
conda which will soon be made aware
of his official existence and intimates
that this city is one of those he has
on his list for a quiet little game.
Mr.. Donovan must have been misin-
formed. 1t is true that once upon a
time gambling was permitted here, but
since the new law was passed and ar
rests under 1t have ben made and the
guilty parties convicted and fined the
practice has ceased and the men who
formerly played faro and other wicked
games for money nov amuse them
selves with the seductions of crokino
and jackstraws. Down in sinful Miles
City, and as he says over at K~alispell,
they may still gamble, but not in Bill
ings, as he will learn, should he come
here.

lengthy and replete with legal YER.
bosity. Stripped Of all unnecessary
verbiage 1t amounts to q denial OF the
charge that the lands were obtained
through fraud on the part Of the re.
spondent. The senator admits that
he bought the lands from Cobban and
the others alleged to have been in
collision with him to defraud the goy-
eminent, but claims that he acted the
part Of an innocent purchaser and that
II frauds were committed in obtain
ing the original titles he was not q
party to their commission; that he
bought the lands In good faith and
believed the titles to be valid and
obtained by the original claimants of
the lands in regular and legal manner.
He in effect says that If frauds were
p%racticed, others, not he, are guilty,
and IL the government was cheated
someone else did the cheating and
he became mixed up in the affair by
trusting to the honesty of the. men
with whom he did business.
The Butte Miner, in publishing the
senator's answer, uses as q headline
the sentence, "All Charges Fall" For
the sake Of the senator's good name
and also his personal convenience 1t
is to be hoped that when the case
comes I'D for trial he will be able ia
make good the line, but until
then it strikes the casual OBJ
server that the declaration con
tanned in it is a little prema-
ture. The denial will have to be
backed up by testimony and highly as
everybody regards the gentleman's
word, his mere denial of them in his
answer does not settle the case SO
far as the courts and government are
concerned.

1t may be slightly over stating the
exact conditions that obtain there to
say a reign of terror exists in those
portions of Choteau and Valley coun-
ties lying south of the Great Northern
railroad, but the real situation trench
es closely on such a condition. The
fear which the notorious Curry gang
has instilled in the minds of many OF
the people residing in that part of
the state is such that it is almost i'm
possible to find anybody with the
hardihood to give the officers of the
law any assistance and help run the
outlaws to the ground. One man,

traitors of the recent Great Northern
train robbery, was assassinated a few
days ago while standing in his W
doorway. The man murdered was
James Winter, a rancher, who bought
the farm of a man whose wife had
run away with kid" Curry. This
angered the gang and they ordered
Winter to leave the country. He re.
fused to do so and Johnny" Curry
undertook to kill him. Winter proved
to be quicker with a gun and the re-
suit was that a Curry turned up his
toes to the skies. Since then the
others have been sending warnings
to Winter that he would be killed at
the first opportunity. He disregarded
the warnings and to show his CON
tempt for the gang gave all the help
he could to the posses and doing what
lay in his power to bring the outlaws
% 5astice. The determination to kill
him now became stronger with the
gang than ever and instead of leaving
tie country, as its members were
supposed to have done, it seems a
well established fact that they re-
manned and bided their time to finish
the job they had laid out for them
selves. With Winter out, of the way
they knew u " would be compare

CHILD POINTS THE WAY.

Although only a child, Rosebud
county has set out to give the older
counties Of the state an object lesson
in the matter of compelling tax shirk-
ers to pay their full quota to the pub
lie income. Last week the commits
sioners Of old Clusters latest child
took down the assessment list and
when they got through with their ex-
animation of it had added in round
numbers the sun Of 100000 to the
taxable property of the county. The
work was done thoroughly and sys-
tematically and not a person in the
county believed to own anything Of
value on which taxes could be col
lected escaped. Just to show that they
were not playing any favorites, the
commissioners listed some as low as
SIS, while some Of the big ones who
had escaped what the board had con
sidered fair and equitable assessments
We're charged up in the thousands.
The only question which now seems
to trouble the commissioners is
whether the revision can be made to
hold. If it 'sticks" the assessable
value of the county will reach the
figures claimed for 1t by the division
ists--$2, 200, 900. In fact the changes
were made for the purpose Of bring
ing the county's valuation up to that
sun, as the assessor managed to re-
tut only enough property to amount
to $1,000, 900. 1t is said that men who
were new known to possess a dol
lars worth of property, real or per-
sonal, on which taxes could be col
lected before the division were un-
earthed and the amount of their hold
ings astonished them as we'll as
others.
Whether they succeed or not, the
county commissioners of Rosebud
county are to be credited with the
very laudable determination of doing
their duty and making the matter of
paying taxes a burden from which no
n shall escape, but which must be
borne by all in proportion to the
favors which Dame Fortune has seen
fit to bestow upon each.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-07-30

officers or do aught else that would
incur the wrath Of the desperadoes
knowing well that their lives would be
the probable forfeit exacted.
1t is an easy matter for those at q
safe distance to say what should be
done and what they would do, but
the conditions prevailing in the rob.
Der infested territory are such as to
make it an entirely different matter
with those who are compelled to
come in direct contact with the out
laws. OF course, such a condition as
prevails there at present cannot be
permitted to go On indefinitely and the
authorities must bestir themselves to
end it, but the task will be found no
easy n and much b~loodshed will
probably follow the effort to rid the
state Of the outlaws who now dis
grace it. If, as report has it, the as
sassin Of Winter has escaped 1t is
not likely that he will be caught, but
those who are in sympathy with him
and his fellows and who have given
them sid and shelter in the past still
remain and the law should be made to
reach them. If the civil law fails in
this, surprise need not be expressed
II some day the news comes from that
that mob law has accomplish
only in severer form. what statu-
tory law vas impotent to accomplish.
