I think very few men in Montana
have had the opportunity of studying
and becoming acquainted with both
wage-earners and agriculturists in
Montana that I have had, and I believe
that it is the bounden duty of all who
have the welfare of the laboring peo-
pie and the upbuilding of our state
at heart to encourage as many of the
laboring people as possible into the
country to create homes for them
and 1 have often thought that
if the labor unions would provide a
fund for this purpose, doing SO in a
manner that those taking advantage
of it would reimburse the labor un-
ions, that it would be a long step in
right direction.

Not until he has received and read

decision in the case of State VS.. Mrs.

liminary hearing before him yester-
day.
The cas- consumed the greater part
Of the day and the examination Of the
various witnesses was exhaustive.
Some new points were brought out,
but in the main the testimony adduc-
ed does not differ materially from that
given at the inquest.
At the conclusion Of the hearing
County Attorney Hathhorn said he
had no suggestions to offer to the
court, but would let the matter rest
entirely in the judges hands, as to
whether the defendant should be dis
missed or held to the district court.
Mr.. Johnston, for the defense. NOV
ed to dismiss, but the court denied
the motion and said he would not rem
der a decision until after he had read
the testimony, which was taken down
in short hand. and remanded Mrs.
circuit into the CUSTODY Of the sheriff.
Deputy Sheriff Robbins. who has
had her in charge ever since her ar
rest, said last evening that Mrs. Or
cult had expressed the wish that she
might receive a regular trial in the
district court, as then an acquittal
would result in ending the matter for
all time, whereas no bar to further
prosecution would result from her
discharge on preliminary hearing.

ACTION TO RECOVER ROUBLEs
OF RUSSIAN BANK,
DEPOSITED IN THIS CITY
Sheriff Levies On Deposit Made By
Man Now Exile In
Siberia.

from SUNDAYS Daily Gazette.
Those who have a memory for such
things will probably recall the $
of The Russion named Won Klutchinski
who was arrested in the northeastern
part of this county about two years
ago and taken back to Russia on a
writ Of extradition in which he was
charged with embezzlement. The ar.
rest was made by the late Sam Jack.
son, deputy United States marshal.
Won Klutchinski was kept in Jail a
short time and then, without attempt
ing to fight his %extradition, taken east
and thence to Russia, where he was
tried and convicted and is now serv-
ing a sentence in Siberia for his
crime.
The charge against him was that
while acting as bookkeeper and &C
countant for the Private Commercial
bank Of Wilno. borough Of Keidnay.
Russia. he collected from various par
ties indebted to the bank a sum ag-
%gregating 5000 roubles, or 4,5OO in
currency Of the United States.
After obtaining the money he fled
to this country and finally brought up
in Montana. He invested a portion
of the stolen money in sheep, forming
a co-partnership with parties who are
still engaged in the same business at
the place where Won Klutchinski was
arrested.
After 0 Klutchinski's surrender
to the Russian authorities at New
York a bank book showing an account
with the First National bank of this
CITY was found in his possession. The
book showed that he had deposited
something in the n~eighborhood of So
600 with the bank, and in addition it
learned that he had certificates
of 10000 shares of stock in the Index
Rornite Copper company of Seattle
deposited in the same institution. He
he'd drawn out some of the money,
however, and the amount to his cred
it was considerably less than the orig3
incl deposit.
For some reason the money has
been permitted to remain in the bank
ever since. and always to the credit
of Won K~lutchinski, until Yesterday,
when it vas formally attached by the
sheriff on a writ of attachment issued

The action was begun by o.

and the necessary bond was furnished
with A. L. Babcock and G. A. Criees
as securities.
When service was obtained it was
found that only s1.119 relnainded of
original sum deposited by Won
while all the mining
stock was found. The latter is SUP |
posed to have a par value of 10 cents
a share, but whether it is worth even
modest sum remains to be . !
nobody hereaboutG seems 10 know
