care of canned foods may not be amiss.

On, that wasn't anything. It's what
they did to the women that makes me
furious. - They took them all back to
Greece as prisoners, and made them
walk through the streets In a triumphal
procession like cattle in a parade at a
county fair. Worst of all, they made a
law that the women should never have
new dresses or jewelry, but forever wear
the same robes and ornaments in which
they were captured.
"They did this for the cheerful purs
pose OF continually notifying the poor
creatures with the remembrance of their
captivity, as if they were likely to forget

OF having only one dress for years and

Game Law Condensed.

Although they have been published
repeatedly. either in full or in part,
still it seems that considerable mis-
apprehension exists as to the provis-
ions of the game laws, and as far as
can be learned some illegal hunting is
being done in consequence.
The open season for prairie chick
ems, grouse and partridges began Au-
gust Is, but it is unlawful to kill ducks
or geese until after September /. After
that date deer, mountain goats, noun
tain sheep and elk may be killed until
December /, but not later. No person
is permitted to kill more than three
deer and one elk and sheep during the
season.
The killing of beaver, buffalo, ante
lope. moose and caribou is absolutely
prohibited, there being no "open" sea-
son for any of those. Upon conviction
any person guilty of killing any Of
those animals may be punished by i'm
prisonment for not more than two years
or less than six months.
1t is also unlawful to kill or trap
quail, Chinese pheasants and turtle
doves. The punishment for doing sc
is imprisonment in the county Jail for
not more than six months or less than
90 days, or by a fine of not less than
SIS or more than $500, or both fine
and imprisonment, being left optional

Harry LOGAN Thought to be In Montana.

A special dispatch from Great Falls
to the Anaconda Standard dated
August q says: Pinkerton officers
seem to be convinced that Harvey
Logan or Kid Curry, is again in Mon
tana. The fact was first given pub
licity through the receipt of letter by
Chief of Police Hollingsworth of Mis-
soula from former''pal" of Logan, in
which the writer stated that the des-
perado was headed for Montana, and
that he had expressed his intention of
going to Missoula or some other town
in Western Montana, there to seek en-
ployment as a laborer.
After the excitement incident to his
recent escape from the prison at Knox
willie, Tenn, has subsidized, it was stat
ed in the letter, Logan, or Curry,
threatened again to ''make it hot' for
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern trains. Logan is the man who held
up the Great Northern passenger train
near Malta on July 8, 1901. He was
captured in Tennessee, convicted of
forging signatures to stolen Montana
bank bills, and sentenced to prison for
20 years. He escaped about two months
ago, and no trace of him has been
found until the clew furnished by his
old partner.
A dispatch from Missonla states tina.
Pinkerton detective named Crenshaw
has arrived there, and is believed to be
on the trail of Curry. Crenshaw was
deeply chagrined when he learned that
news of his mission had preceded him
Today Great Falls has visitor in
the person of another Pinkerton detec-
tive. His name is withheld, but it is
stated on authority that this detective,
too, is in quest of Logan. Furthermore,
it is stated that the Pinkerton agency
has other agents in Montana at work
on the case.
No one here doubts for a moment that
Logan would have the temerity to re-
turn to his old field of operation. He is
probably the boldest outlaw in the
United States today, and fear is an un-
known word to him. Then, too, it is
| known that he has more friends in this
state than in any other part of the
country. He had been aided by those
| friends before-some of them have suf.
fered for his sake-and undoubtedly he
believes they are to be trusted again.
1t is believes that the presence ot
Logan in Montana has ceased to be a
supposition and now has become fact,

Why was it necessary for Miles
to wait until they reached home before
telling Forsyth to look up certain
rule? They claim to be ball players,
and posted on the rules of the game.
They evidently had to wait until they
reached Miles City to find someone
who could construe the rule to suit
their case. The rule referred to by
the article in the Journal pertains to a
foul fly which is caught and has no
bearing whatever on the play in ques-
ton.
The Journal in speaking of the UNI
pire says: "Once he declared Berk-
holder safe at home. This is an
erroneous statement, as the umpire
called the man out from the start.
Berkholder made a high-dive over
home plate, missing it by fully three
feet. In fact the writer of the article
in the journal drew on his imagina-
ton for the greater portion of his state
ments and shows quite plainly that he
has a sore spot in the immediate vici-
nifty of his dome of thought.
The Miles City ball team has long
been noted for it's ability for bulldozing
it's oppnents out of games, and failing
to make it stick with Forsyth, quit
the field forfeiting the game at score
OF nine to nothing. The score as it
stood when Miles left is as follows:

1t seemed shame yesterday in the
game between Forsyth and Miles City
that the Miles City team should pre-
maturely end good exhibition of ball
by walking off the field before the
game was out-the first time it has
ever done so, but the proposition they
were up against was too rank, and
endurance ceased to be a virtue.
From the howl that went up from
certain parties in Forsyth against the
gentleman that usually umpires ball
games for Miles City and usually with
satisfaction to both sides, the Miles
City team expected Forsyth would
have an umpire in comparison with
whom a National League arbiter
would look like a grave robber. In
stead of that a man named Fletcher
was dragged into the field and in the
hands of the Forsyth players was as
flexible as boiled macaroni, and some

Finally Forsyth and the umpire set

didn't settle it for Miles City. The
rule book was brought out and they
were not only challenged to show
where Harris was out but were shown
why he was not out. The umpire de-
