Hon. e. w. King, of Bozeman, is a
business visitor to this city this week.
his trip to this section being to look
after his mining interests. The ques.
ton as to whether or not Mr.. King
is still a representative of Fergus
county in the legislature and whether
he will attend the extra session which
%conyenes next Tuesday has been con.
siderably discussed in this city since
the extra session was called. To the
Argus Mr.. King stated that he con.
siders himself still the representative
from Fergus county, having been so
advised by several attorneys with
whom he had consulted. At any rate,
he will be in Helena when the session
opens and the house will determine
whether or not he is still one of its
members. As some important legis
lation Is to come before the legisla
tive assembly at the extra session, 1,
is to be hoped that Mr.. King will be
eligible TO serve, as he Is admitted &c
be n of the strongest members OF
either branch of the legislature and
} though he has moved from this coun
: ty, the interests of Fergus will be safe
!; so long as he is looking after them.
