IN THE JUSTICE COURT
Parties Arrested for ALLEGED Illegal Rells
tration Given Hearings.

The preliminary hearing of Mike
O'Brien for alleged illegal registration
took place here Friday before Justice
of the Peace McRae of Rosebud.
Nearly the entire day was taken up
examining witnesses and arguments
by attorneys for both sides.
Regardless of the fact that Tom
Carter had an attorney here from
Helena-E. A. Carleton-to assist J.
G. Lyndes and F. L. Gibson in the
prosecution, they were unable to pro-
duce any evidence to show that O'Br len
had registered illegally and Judge
McRae rendered his decision in accord
ance with that fact. Attorneys Dierks
of Forsyth, Collins of Rosebud and
Johnston of Billings, appeared for the
defendant.
Having failed in two instances to
secure the conviction of innocent men
upon trumped up charges of "illegal
registration, before honest and inn
partial justices of the peace, the Car
tCl -]AuIu w Oh hNCS ing PIO~
cured the services of one Miller, a
"justice of the peace" at the Crow
agency and a government clerk at that
place.
Owing to the fact that this individual
secured his job through the offices of
Tom Carter, it was generally UNDER
stood that those to be tried before HIM
would receive but little consideration
at his hands, regardless of their inno-
cence.
This fact was clearly brought out
before the hearing of the first prisoner
had fairly progressed, for when the
attorneys made an objection it was
''overruled,' while the prosecution
were invariably sustained in their
motions.
AS result, John w. Dallin, George
Soote, Thomas Sneller and James
Valinish were bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum of $500 each.

White Perry Arrested.

The following, which is Billings
dispatch of Saturday, will be of inter-
est to many of our readers:
BY arresting Prentiss Bernard to-
night it is believed that Chief of Police
Jackson averted a tragedy. Bernard
is better known throughout eastern
Montana as ''White Perry" For years
Bernard and "Black Perry" who was
shot and killed by James Haney near
Forsyth last August, were boon COM
panions.
Bernard came to Billings last night
and today a man from Forsyth informed
Chief Jackson that he had left that
place last night with the avowed inten-
ton of coming here to kill Haney.
The chief found Bernard in the Side
board saloon. Bernard had been
drinking and showed the effects of
liquor. The chief took from him a
large Colts revolver and asked him to
GO home und keep quiet. Bernard an
swered that he would go out and get
another gun. He was then arrested.
He will be tried Monday on a charge
of carryi ,g concealed weapons.
Had Bernard encountered Haney
and attacked him, it is the opinion OF
many that double tragedy would
have occurred. The man arrested Wis
tied Billings couple of years ago and
in a drunken frenzy perforated the
walls of a back room III the Sldeboard
with bullets.

Judging from reports it would seem


that Montana is destined to take
leading place in the Angora goat in
dustry. While there have been few
men engaged in the business of raising
the animals in Montana for several
years, the man most generally known
as being connected with the industry
until about year ago was ). r.
Brannahan, of Silver. About a year
ago the Montana Angora Goat company
was organized, with c. ]. and ]. w.
Fulton as the principal people III the
enterprise. The company pushed the
enterprise from the beginning, and
shipped to Helena a lot of high grade
animals, which have since been almost
entirely disposed of, and there are
now in the state number of breeders.
The ruling of the general land office
of the United States to the effect that
forest reserve scrip cannot be used for
locating land thrown open from an
Indian reservation caused Jeremiah
Collins to lose about forty acres of 100
acre filing in Choteau county. A de-
cision from Comm .ssioner Binger Her
mann conveyed this news to the local
Office recently. The ruling itself is an
old one. Collins had filed on the land
in question with scrip from the Pine
mountains and Zacha Lake forest re.
serves. The commissioner, in his de-
cision, quotes the statues on the ques-
| ton and says that under them it is
plain that congress did not contemplate
such filings as this. He gives Collins
ninety days in which he may substi-
tute another filing for the one he made.
The agitation which was started
nearly a year ago to establish what
will probably be termed a parental
school may be fruitful of some good
when the legislature meets. A number
of educators VINO have called upon
Superintendent of State instruction
w. w. WEIGH within the past week
have urged the Importance of founding
such an institution which will save
parents the embarrassment of having
their incorrigible children sent to the
reform school. They advance the ar
gument that some disgrace attaches to
a boy after he leaves the reform school
and they believe that an institution as
proposed by some of the leading edu-
Gators of the state would efface this
condition. There are many different
opinions as to what this parental
school should be but it is believed that
a school founded along the lines advo-
Gated by Professor X. G.. Yobng of
Butte would prove satisfactory to those
who believe that the present reform
school too nearly approaches the char
acter of a prison.

of the State Teachers association to

inclusive, will be decided upon at

From present indications Montana
will be the first state in the Union to

Tommy Scott, while out hunting a
few days ago on the South Side, killed
two deer at one shot. They were
standing side by side, and the bullet
broke ones back and penetrated the
lungs of the other.
DR.. D. N. Reber has received and
installed in his office in the Longley
building an apparatus for giving hot
air baths. The doctor has already
applied this treatment to several of his
patrons with most satisfactory results.
He claims for it the curing of all such
ailments as the hot springs are said to
cure.
The entire seating capacity and most
of the standing room of Alexander's
hall was taken Monday evening, &C.
casioned by the appearance of "Sandy
Bottom" as presented by Hampton &
Hopkins troupe. Without doubt it
was one of the best shows that has APP
peared here in several months.
A special bearing Northern Pacific
officials passed through Forsyth Fri
day. In the party were President G..
S. Mellen, Vice President J. M. Han
naford, General Manager Thomas
Cooper, Chief Engineer w. L. Darling,
General Superintendent M. C. Kim
berly, Commissioner G. r. Fernald
and Assistant Superintendent H. J.
Horn, Jr. Superintendent Gibson ac-
! companied the party over his division.
Mart Bray returned from Chicago
Friday where he went a short time ago
with several head of beef steers. He
reports a fair price received for the
shipment, but says that as feed was Sc
reasonable out of Chicago at the time
he was there that he could have re-
ceived much more satisfactory prices
had he fed a few days before market
ing.
Ed. Higgins, who has been working
his Ignite coal mine few miles from
town for the past several weeks, sus-
tanned a broken leg Saturday forenoon.
He was in his mine working when,
without the slightest warning, por-
ton of the ceiling fell upon him with
the above result. The injury, although
painful but not serious, will necessitate
his staying in bed several weeks.
Tuesday was another red letter day
in Forsyth in so far as business chan
ges are concerned. M. M. Thornton
di sposed of his interest in the saloon
business of Thornton g. Choisser to ]
E. Choisser, the junior member of the
firm. Mr. Thornton in turn acquired
the management of the N. P. lunch
counter from Chas. Richter, who has
so successfully conducted that business
for the past several years. AS ye
Mr.. Richter is undecided as to hi!
future course in business way, but i
is to be hoped that he will continue t.
make Forsyth his future home, for il
losing Mr.. Richter the town would b.
deprived of one of its most worthy ant
successful business men.

;Iour aDd New Stock Of CaDned Goods


MISS dALlC SOty, tiC NCW 1 VI
artist, who spends much of her time in
her mountain home OH Beaver creek,
near Helena, has won further renown
by killing a bear. She was hunting a
few days ago with guide, and coming
across black bear, killed the animal
outright with one shot from her rifle.
Besides being an artist OF acknowl
edged ability, Miss Cory is an expert
shot, and her last achievement has
won her considerable praise from her
Helena friends.
Northern Pacific officials are about
to inaugurate new rule in regard to
stock shipments. Heretofore stock
passes have been issued without any
regard to the age of individuals who
were to accompany stock shipments,
but the officials have determined that
in future only persons capable of TAX
ing care of the stock in transit will be
allowed to accompany shipments. A
bulletin has therefore been posted
which states that in future transporta-
ton will be issued only to persons over
eighteen years of age, and that this
rule must be strictly enforced.
A report came from the White Sui

that they were at loss what to do

would be forced to stop selling or leas-
ing any more land until the legis
ture decided what should be done with
the funds collected from the leasing
and sale of lands. Several applica-
tions were made the other day for the
purchase or lease of state land, but
the board refused to consider them in
view of existing conditions.

COPYING THE AMERICAN ARMY.

1t has cost the British many a pang-
they are doing what, when it was sug-
gested to them at the beginning of the
Boer war, they angrily vowed they would
never do. They entered the South Afri-
can struggle with their army in slavish
adherence to German ideas and models.
German ideas are certainly in advance of
all others in Europe, but they are behind
the times when compared with American.
They were eminently successful in the
wars with Austria and France, because
those countries were still clinging to ideas
very much older, running back to the Ma
poleonic wars. Austria, in particular, had
learned very little since Waterloo. On
the other hand, we, going into a terrible
war, with full stock of ideas and meth
DDS derived from the Napolconic era, had
the worst of these speedily knocked out
of us, and then had to build up an entirely
new theory and practice of war, based
upon modern conditions and the latest
improvements in arms. Being an emf
nendy sensible, practical, receptive people,
fighting the battle of our lives, we devel-
oped the science of fighting to its highest
condition. The Europeans were as slow
to see this as they were to appreciate the
wonderful strides we have of late years
been making in all branches of manufac-
turing. They chung to the idea that the
German art of war was the very highest
attainment of the science, and the nearer
the likeness to the German model, the
better soldiers and armies they would
have.
This accounts for the frightful failures
the British have made in South Africa.
The Germans would have probably done
equally bad, if not worse, because the
whole system is wrong. 1t is too slow,
cumbersome and unwieldy for modern
warfare against anybody but enemies who
adhere to the obsolete ideas of the past
century. The very best troops in the Ger
man Empire, and their most skillfuI off
GERS, would probably make poorer show
ing against American troops than the
British have against the Beers.
The British military attaches in Wash
ingtOn, and those who saw our troops
manuver and fight in Cuba, tried to waken
the home authorities to this, but they
were angrily repulsed, even as late as a
gear ago.
Now, however, years Of misfortune have
taught their lessons. The British may be
obstinately old fogyish, but they viii
awaken some time. and their awakening
is lively. Now they propose to drop their
German ideas entirely and reorganize
their armies on the American plan. They
will begin by adopting the American
method of recruiting, the higher pay to
get better men, and the American methods
and tactics.
1t is pretty late now. They would have
saved hundreds of millions of dollars, if
they had begun this 10 years ago, and in
stead of studying the German conquest
Of France. had devoted themselves TO
learning thoroughly the lessons taught by
Grants, Sherman's and Sheridan's cam
paigns, and our Indian wars. But if they
go at this now, it will be of inestimable
advantage in their future wars.
