BUYERS ARE
BARRED OUT
REPRESENTATIVES OF SLIDER.
MAN BROS. SHUT OUT.
NOTIFIED BY PRES. ELLIOTT
This Action Taken on Account of the
Purchase by Mr.. Wiley Of
Bair Clip.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Messrs. Wiley and Guthrie, repre-
sentatives of the Chicago house of
Sherman Bros, were notified yester-
day by A. w. Elliott, president of the
local wool exchange, that they would
no longer be considered as members
of the exchange and consequently be
barred from bidding in the competi-
tive sales.
This action is taken on the part
of the exchange for the reason that
Mr.. Wiley purchased the Bair clip of
100000 pounds at private sale, yes
terday, his action in so doing being
a violation of the rules of the ex-
change, members allege.
Relative to the action Of the ex-
change in barring himself and col
league, Mr.. Guthrie from bidding, Mr..
Wiley has sent the following open
letter to President Elliott:
ga. w. Elliott, President of the Bill
ings Wool Exchange.-Dear Sir: AS
l have not participated in the sealed
bidding at the Billings wool exchange,
the notice given me last evening that
l would not be allowed to bid was un-
necessary. l have instructed Mr..
Guthrie that as it is quite as easy to
buy wool privately as by sealed bids.
He will accept your notice without
protest, and henceforth buy outside
the exchange.
while | take no interest in your
decision, l don't feel like letting the
matter pass without making a few re-
marks which you may consider or not,
as you please.

BIG HAUL OF STAMPS.
Chicago Police Make a Startling
Find.

Chicago, July 16.-Five thousand
stamps believed by detectives of the
central station to have been included
in the famous %postoffice robbery of
last fall, have been found.
The first clew to the disposition of
the immense booty secured by the rob-
Ders came today as a startling sequel
to the arrest of three members of a
family for alleged forgery, following
an attempt to- cash a forged check on
the Corn Exchange National bank yes
terday.
The stamps were discovered in a bu-
reau drawer at 231 Ontario street by
two detective ~sergeants. When one
OF these men was asked today if he
thought the stamps a clew to the cele-
brated lootlng of the p%ostoffice stamp
vault, he replied:
81 don't think so. l know it," \
Three men and n woman are now
being kept either in cells or under
surveillance in connection with the
forgery and the clew to the stamp
robbery and Detectives Thompson and
Gallagher are busy seeking other facts
Those arrested are George Holmes,
alias R. j. James; Mrs. Mary Holmes,
George, and John Hogan. Despite the
secrecy surrounding the investigation
at central detective headquarters, it
is known that George Holmes was SUBJ
jected to a raking examination by
Lieutenant Rohan this forenoon. What
the result of the sweating" was that
officer was not disposed to say.
The stamps wer of many denomina-
tions. No explanation of how they
came into the possession of Holmes
has been forthcoming since they were
discovered. Further than the one
declaration. the detective would not
discuss the case. The central Office
is working on the affair with renew
ed energy, however. and supplement
tary clews are expected.

A TEST CASE.
Decision Will Affect Every County in
the State.

the 0IdIes
Helena, July 16.-Judge J. NJ. Gle
ments of the district court now has
under consideration the suit instituted
by the Northwestern Mutual Life In.
surance company against Lewis and
Clarke county to test the validity of
the actions Of the county assessor in
demanding taxes on profits under Ger.
tain sections of the codes.
The case is submitted to the judge
On an agreed statement Of facts, the
object of the proceedings being sim.
ply an effort to- determine the valid
ity of the statutes on which the as
SCISSOR bases his actions. A final de-
cision in the present case, which will
undoubtedly be carried to the supreme
court, will affect every county in the
state and all of the insurance COM
panies having agencies in Montana.
To make the case complete, the
insurance companies paid to the clerk
of the court more than $500 the
amount claimed by the assessor. If
the case is decided in favor Of the
companies, the money will be return
ed; if the county is victorious, it will
be turned over to the treasurer, and
all of the other corporations called
upon to produce.
Every point in the case which is adj
mitted by both sides is stated in the
statement filed with the court today.
In the event of "a final decision in the
case, there will be no further room
for questioning the law bearing on
the point. Following are the points
upon which decision is asked:
Does section 6S1 of the civil code
of the state of Montana apply to for
eign mutual life insurance companies?
Is any authority given by said Sec
ton 681 to ses taxes against a for
eign mutual life insurance company?
Is said section 681 constitutional?
Has said section 681 been repealed
Or is it still in, force?
Are section 394O to 3947 of the polit-
ical code of Montana constitutional?
Can the assessor of any county be
made the collector of taxes by the leg
islature?
Is there any officer of the county of
Lewis and Clarke who can collect a
tax levied under section 681 at this
time of the year?
Are the taxes assessed as above
stated a legal charge against the plain
tiff and is the defendant entitled to
the payment thereof?

Wnlcn was ISSUED two Jays ago and
luIiy ratlned To-Day, the Red Lodge
cruz is coming to Billings. Saturday
afternoon to play a series OF two
games, anu won't there be hot times
IN Billings. The Red Lodge boys
will be received with open arms, a la
the prodigal son, and the fatted calf
will be killed for them, but they must
not expect to win both games of ball.
An effort is now being made to in
duce the Northern Pacific to run the
Red Lodge train into Billings Satur-
! day afternoon an hour and a half
ahead of time. If this a be accom-
plished the Saturday game will be
called at 4 o clock. In $ it cannot
be worked and the train arrives on
time, 4:30, the game will be called
at 4:45, as the visitors will don their
uniforms on the train and be all ready
to- go on the field at once.
The peace treaty was brought about
through the efforts Of the high Of
ficials and hackers of both clubs, ably
seconded by the local manager and
Manager Frank Fox of the Red Lodge
team. In fact Mr.. Fox has acted in
the most courteous name during
the entire negotiations and as Red
Lodge is the only town that has a
ball club that is worthy of the steel
of the Billings players all lovers of the
game will rejoice that peace has been
restored and the Ratchet buried.
Billings will brush up it's team a
little in the weaker spots and it will
be SO arranged that the home club
can place a different battery in each
game. No doubt there will be
plenty of money offered on both of
the games and there will be enough
excitement to last Billings until fair
time. And if the weather is favorable
the attendance will undoubtedly be the
largest v e seen on the local grounds,
especially for the Sunday game.
