Attorney General Hands Down Three
Regarding School Matters. !,

Helena, July 8.-Attorney General
Donovan today handed down three
opinions in answer to recent inquiries.
In one he holds that the trustees of a
school district could not legally build
dwelling house and rent it to a
school teacher, regardless of the cir
cumstances that might favor such an
undertaking. The attorney general
holds to that effect, in repuly to an
inquiry he received from County At
torney Hall of Missoula county.
State Superintendent Welch asked
for an opinion as to the creation of a
new school district from portion OF
an adjoining district. The reply is
that the creation of new districts is
to be made by the county superin-
tendent upon petition from majority
of the heads of families. From the
county superintendent action there
is an appeal to the board of county
commissioners, but there is no ap-
peal from their ruling.
The state superintendent also want
ed to know which district owned the
school property in case a new dis
-trict is created out of part of an
old one. In reply to this the attor-
ney general says: "The old district
shall own and hold all permanent
property, such as sites, school houses
and furniture situated within it's
boundaries, and must assume all debts
incurred for the building and furnish
ing of school houses

HAVE LAID DOWN THEIR ARMS.
A Number Of Officials and Their
Stats Have Sure ndered.

Panama, Monday, July General
Salazar, the governor of Panama, has
received a dispatch from Bogota, the
capital, announcing that Generals
Pedroja, Neenito, Ulloaleal and Teo-
pilo Garcia and their staffs, together
with General Martin, most import
amt leader cf the department of Toll
ma, have laid down their arms on ac-
count of the guarantees offered by
the Bogota government. At Carmen
General Delacap defeated the liberal
forces under General Munoz, killing
or wounding over 200 men. This gen
eral also won a victory over the
forces of General Garcia Riviera, thus,
it is claimed, rendering it useless to
cause any more bloodshed. +

SMALLPOX AT NOME.
Government Hospital and Detention
Camp to Be Established.

Washington, July s.-On account
of the prevalence of smallpox at
Nome, Alaska, and the danger of an
epidemic under the rather crowded
and unsanitary conditions prevailing
in the mining camp, the government
proposes to establish marine hos
pital and detention camp at some dis
tance from the town.
The treasury department has asked
the interior department for jurisdic-
ton over Sledge island, small body
of land two or three miles from the
shore and about 20 miles north Of
Nome. AS soon as jurisdiction is
transferred, temporary barracks for
smallpox cases will be erected on the
island. s

Children Flag Train in the Nick Of
Time.

New York, July Sc. Finkle, Is
years old, and his 13-year-old sister
have saved rain on the Poughkeep-
sic & Eastern railroad from being
wrecked by tagging the locomotive
just in time to prevent it from rolling
upon spreading rails, which would
have thrown the engine and six cars
down steep embankment.
rhe children were gathering rasp-
berries, near tie 1.oston Corners, anG
the boy noticed that the rails were
spread. The girl wore red frock,
and as the children knew that the
train was almost due they had hur-
ried consultation on the track and
with the red dress in his hand the
lad started up the track to meet the
train. He had not gone 800 feet when
it came along. The frantic waving
of the red frock by the boy was
enough to warn the engineer and he
brought his train to standstill with
in few feet of the dangerous track.

THIRTY MILES CUT DOWN ON
THOMAS LAND.
NO CLEW TO PERPETRATORS
Work Began on Canyon Creek and
Extended Northeast of
Park Basin.

The first overt act arising from
the alleged fencing of government
land by the large cattle and sheep
concerns of the country was reported
today. A gentleman from Park City
was in town this forenoon and inform
ed The Gazette that Cabot Thomas
reported in Park City yesterday morn
ing that about 80 miles of his fenc-
ing had been destroyed on Monday
night.
The fence destroyed enclosed gov
ernment land over which there is now
am action pending against Mr.. Thomas
and others in the United States court
at Helena. The destruction began at
Canyon creek ON the border of the
Yellowstone valley, as near as The
Gazette was able to learn, and extend
ed north on the east side of Lake
Basin. The primary object of the de-
struction of the fence is thought to
be to allow cattle belonging to the
settlers to enter the Basin and reach
the lake in the center thereof. The
wire was hewn from the posts by axes,
apparently, and many of the posts
were chopped down. Mr.. Thomas
stated that the work was all done in
one night and that he has no clue to
the perpetrators of the deed. He
will report the matter to the author
tiles at once

TESTIMONY is TANGLED.
Minneapolis Chief Of Police Acquitted
Of Receiving a eribe.

Minneapolis, July 9.-Superintend-
en- of Police Fred w. Ames has been
acquitted.
After being out since $50 o'clock
last night, the jury returned YER
dict of not guilty at p. m. Superin-
tndent Ames was indicted on the
charge of receiving a bribe Of $25
for flushing up" the case Of Roman
MEX, who lost draf for $775 in a
s.big mitt" joint.
Link" Crossman and BILLY" Ed
wards, the proprietors of the "big
mitt" Joint, testified against Ames.
The trial simmered down to ques-
tion of veracity on the part of Cross
man and Edwards, 'big mitt" opera
tors. who told one story, and Superin-
tendent and Mayor Ames, who def
initely contradicted it in material par
ticulars.
The acquittal of Police Superinend-
ent Ames this afternoon was an off
set in the popular interest, but the in
telligence that the grand jury this ev-
ening returned another batch of bills
bearing on the bribery and corruption
pool, again aroused interest. Seven
bills compose the batch and it is un-
derstood that they were voted on the
testimony of more than 40 witnesses
who recited the methods Of levying
tribute on downtown resorts.

ALL PEACEFUL ovERTuREs
HAVE BEEN REJECTED.
cAAFFEE MAY USE FORCE
Experience With American Soldiers
Should Make Sultan and
Dattos Submit.

Washington, July 9.-War depart
ment officials are momentarily ex.
pecting to hear of clash between
the American troops and the Moros
of Mindanlo. Ge:nral Chaffee has
been authorized to use whatever force
may be necessary to bring the Moros
to terms. Advices received at the
war department show that the efforts
settlement Of the trouble arising out
of he murder Of American soldiers
have failed. The hostile dattos, it is
reported, have been making every ef-
fort to provoke the Americans to an
engagement and have been preparing
for an attack.
Thus far the American soldiers have
been forbearing, but the conclusion
has been reached by the authorities
in the Philippines that only by fOrci-
full methods will the dattos be made
to respect American authority and
comply with the demands made by
General Davis.
When General Chaffee first sent an
experition to Mindanao to demand
the surrender of the Moros who MUIR
dered American soldiers, he purposed
following peaceful request with
resort to arms, but the administration
at Washington called halt. Gener-
al Chaffee was given to understand
that the president did not want hostil-
tiles precipitated if there was any
honorable way to avoid them. Since
then General Davis and General Bald
win have been negotiating with the
dattos, and have had one or two
brushes with bands Of Moros, but
nothing satisfactory has been accom-
plished, and it is proposed to whip the
hostile natives into submission.
When war with the Moros was first
in prospect the authorities at Wash
ington shuddered. knowing as they
did the savage character of these peo-
pie, who follow fanatical religious be
liefs and fight to the death. Since the
soldiers have come in contact with
them and have had some experience
in fighting Moros, greater confidence
has been inspired that the American
troops can readily overpower them.
General Chaffee has been authoriz-
ed to send whatever reinforcements
may be necessary. Gene,al Baldwin,
who has just been promoted to the
grade of brigadier general, has been
in command of the detachment which
has been standing off the unfriendly
Moros, and he will possibly lead the
troops on the field, while General Da-
Wis, commanding the province, will
give general directions from head
quarters.
The recent proclamation of amnesty
issued by the president did not apply
to the Moros, since they have not as
yet accepted American authority.
Should the conflict with the Moros
extend throughout the province OF
Mindanao, war of indefinite length
may ensue The administration. is
determined to secure submission to
American authority in every section
of the archipelago, even at the ex-
pense of fighting with savages.

WOOL BUYER
MAKES GUESS
PREDICTS THAT BILLINGS WILL
LEAD IN SHIPMENTS.
HAS MADE A CANVASS
Places the Amount Of Fieeces to Be
Handled Here This Season
at 100000 Pounds.


the Wyoming wool which heretofore
found sale on this market, it is
thought that the volume of the tieecy
product which will find its way east
from Billings will not fall very much
short of the total shipped from here
last season. The representative on
this market for the firm of jeremiah
Williams & Co., Mr.. Elliott, who has
bought wool here for eastern con-
Germs for the last eight or ten years,
has made canvass of the field and
it is his opinion that the shipments
from the city will be 100000
pounds, about 100000 less than was
shipped out of the Billings market a
year ago.
Last year Billings gained the proud
distinction of being the largest in
land wool market in the world by
several million pounds. While ship
ments this year will fall short of the
previous year it is believed that the
town will continue this year to hold
the record as the banner inland wool
shipping center.
Thus far the Northern Pacific has
received at this point over 100000
pounds. and the Burlington railway
100000.
