GUN CLUB SHOOT.

Regulations Have Been Sadly MARRIED
in Consequence.
VLast Sunday the recently organized
Billings Gun club held it's first shoot.
Some disappointing scores were made
and ever since some of the members
have been kept busy explaining how
they managed to OBTAIN the big bags
of game they claimed in the past
to have returned with from a days
work in the held. Although they have
been eloquent and earnest in those
explanations they have failed to be
convincing and regulations in conse-
quence have been married that hith-
erto have been regarded as being
without a blemish, SO far as truthful
nes and reliability are concerned.
Even the fact that several of the
gentlemen under suspicion were han
dicapped by the use of guns with
which they were not familiar and that
another was obliged to shoot with
an old-fashioned, single-barrel AFFAIR
does not help them. Everything they
now say in regard to their own skill
and accuracy in any matter is taken
with incredulity and looks decidedly
annoying are exchanged between the
listeners. Whether such conduct is
warranted the reader may decide for
himself after perusing the score. Out
of a possible % the various contest
ants demolished the following num-
Der of blue rocks:
Ray, 20; Arnold, NJ. A., II; Babcock.

Sylvester, 5; Mains, 4; George, A;

the representatives of the mine own
ers refuse to recognize them or the
mine workers credentials or accept
them as members of the board of
Cancellation. AS selected, the opera
tors say, the representatives of the
miners are lle direct representatives
of the union, and not of the miners.
AS they declined throughout the en-
tire proceedings had before the COM
mission appointed by the president to
recognize the Mine Workers union,
so now, to be consistent, they re-
fuse to recognize men whom they al
lege are attempting to act in the ca
pacity of official representatives OF
that organization. Although they
might be technically right, should
they institute another strike for no
other reason than the one given 1t is
extremely doubtful whether the mine
workers would again have the sym
pathy and support of the great masses
of the people so generously accorded
them in the strike Of last year.

PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS.

Washington, June 8.-Upon the re-
ceipt Of reports from American agents
in Chile to the effect that the situation
al Valparaiso is unsatisfactory, ow-
ing to the recent socialist disturbances
there, the state department this at
ternoon requested the navy depart
ment to dispatch a ship to that point
in order that American interests may
be fully protected in the event OF an
emergency. The navy department at
first thought of sending the entire
Pacific squadron from San Francisco,
but as Rear Admiral Glass has just
brought his ships to California waters
for repairs, it was decided to order
Rear Admiral Sumner, commanding
the North Atlantic station, to proceed
at once with his squadron now al
Montevidio through the straits to Val
paraiso. Cable orders to this ehec
were sent Admiral Sumner this after
! noon. Orders we're also ~telegraphed
| TO Admiral Glass to be ready for sea
| and in the event that Admiral Sum
| ner's fleet is unable to get under way
| at once the Pacific squadron may DC
ordered to Chilean waters in it's stead
! Rear Admiral Summers fleet consists
! of the protected cruiser Newark, flag
ship; protected cruiser Detroit, ant
the gunboats Gloucester and Mont
| gomery.

THE PRESIDENTS o U

Once more the president is back in
his official home and the longest and
most remarkable tour ever made by
a president of the United States is
now only a memory. Conceding, as
our democratic friends insist, that the
tour was not wholly d~isassociated
with Roosevelt's political ambition,
can any of tnem say truthfully that
he has injured himself by its MAX
ing? Very frankly he has admitted
that he wants to be president once
more, not as a result of an accident
and caprice of fate, but as the choice
of the people of the nation, and with
that very laudable ambition in mind
he made the tour, partly, though not
wholly in furtherance of that desire,
and as the case now stands has no
reason to regret it.
Instead of trusting himself to the
politicians he has preferred to place
himself before the people and take
them into his confidence. He has
given them to understand what to
expect of him should they elect him
president and leave him freer to act
than he has been because he will not
be tied down by any pledges of carry
ing out a policy formulated by another
In politics, as well as in many Other
matters, Roosevelt has shown his in
dependence and sturdy manhood and
the people like him all the better fol
it, regardless of how the politicians
may regard him, and when the time
for action arrives the people and no
the politicians will prevail.

Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Standifer are

Fadden, who was clicked by a horse
on his ranch about four years ago
and committed suicide to end his suf-

dragged his wite's half brother be-
cause Mrs. McFaddens put him in
charge OF the ranch. He served three
months for that offense. Another
time he shot William Sanders in the

was generally regarded as a bad mar

With Mr.. Herman it appears to have
been a case of Il go, but only to re-
turn" He left Washington under
conditions that he might have wished
to be otherwise but the manner of
his return is exactly as he wanted
it. The talk Of a possible snub from
the administration would appear to
have been a little premature, mas
much as he was asked by the presi-
dent to accompany him through Ore
gon when the executive was visiting
that state. At any rate, hermann will
hold a little over the secretary OF
the interior the next time he goes to
Washington.

FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION.

While it is to be hoped that wiser
counsel will prevail and that the NIX
of another strike in the anthracite
regions will end in talk, yet if a strike
is bound to come it will be on lines
of division clearly and distinctly
drawn-recognition of the union OF
the miners. The new trouble between
the operators and operatives has
arisen over the claim made by the
mining companies that the miners
have not appointed their members OF
the board OF Cancellation in accord
ance with the provisions of the de
cision rendered by the strike com
mission that adjusted the original dis
pute between the two bodies. Be
cause Of this alleged non-com1ormit.

Even though they charge him with
having been somewhat slow in insti-

must admit that the postmaster gene

and sorrow to the guilty ones must
commend itself to every one, except
the ewretches who are feeling the

A GOOD OMEN.

1t may be even as a usually astute
democratic newspaper of this state
has figured it out-that the mention
of Governor Taft in the republican
platform of Ohio was a shrewd move
on the part of Senator Hanna and
that it was something more than the
mere flinging of a compliment" to the
man who has established so enviable
a record and reputation in the Philip
pines. Granting that in securing that
recognition of the man the senator
took the first move in a plan having
for it's object the nomination Of Taft
for the vice presidency, concession be-
ing made of the fact that only death
can prevent the nomination Of Roose-
welt for first place, it only goes to
show that Hanna, Notwithstanding
his alleged enmity to the Rooseveltian
aspirations and ambitions, is still the
farseeing and calculating politician he
gained the name of being when he
first became prominent before the
people OF the nation. The fact that
he desires the nomination of his
personal and political friend on the
same ticket as Roosevelt must be &C
copied as proof that he has little ii
any fear as to the success Of the tick
ct headed by Roosevelt. Did he lot
feel positive of R~oosevelt's success
he would probably not care to sacri-
fee a man for whom the newspaper
referred to claims he has ambitions
that end only with the presidency
itself. But what stronger combina'
ton could the republicans put into
the field than Roosevelt and Taft.

Of course, the mere fact that he has
been indicted does not establish Mr..
Machen's guilt, but it will have a
tendency to strengthen the belief Of
a great many that there are strong
grounds for s%uspecting a certain
amount of laxity on his part in the
management and conduct OF the de-
partment he has had in charge.

TROUBLESOME CHARACTER PUT
OUT OF THE WAY.
DONE IN SELF DEFENSE
To Save Her Own Life Mrs. Leo
Brown Shoots Man Once
Her Husband.

Miles City, June 8.-Mrs. Leo Brown
and her husband, Joe Brown, arrived
today from Powderville, and at about
1 o'clock p. m. Mrs. Brown surren-
dered herself to Sheriff Savage on a !
statement that she had shot and kill
ed Dick Standifer yesterday afternoon
at about 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Brown was formerly the wife
of Standifer, who afterwards married
her sister. Standifer and his wife
were at Mrs. Browns house and were
at the, stable, where Mrs. Brown was,
and Standifer asked her why she did
not come to visit them. Mrs. Brown
replied that she did not wish to visit
them. Upon this, Standifer, with no
other p~rovocation, it is alleged, struck
her in the face and knocked her down.
She arose and he Immediately struck
her again and once more before she
dropped.
When she arose for the second time
she went for her horse and started to
ride to the house to get a gun, but
Standifer reached the house first.
She then started for P~oWderville,
where her husband was at work on
the roads. The ranch where this In
cident occurred was about five miles
below Powderville, on the river. Brown
told his wife to return home and wait
| for him and they would go to town
and swear out a complaint against
| Standifer. On the way back Standifer
and his wife riding in a buggy, met
| Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Standifer was q
witness to what followed. Standifer
asked Mrs. Brown where she was go
ing. She replied that she was going
to town to have him arrested. Standi-
fer said:
"If you do, I'll kill you; in fact,
guess I'd better kill you right now"
Then, it is alleged, he reached down
to his bootleg and Mrs. Brown thought
he was about to draw a gun. She got
her weapon first and shot and killed
him.
Mrs. Brown then drove home and
she and her husband made the drive
to Miles City, a distance of about %
miles. She surrendered herself today,
The prosecuting attorney n the
lawyer for the defense were agreed
that, considering the well known char
acter of Standifer and his readiness
with a gun, the frequent difacuitles
in which he was involved with the
residents of his vicinity and the rae
that the woman had surrendered ner
self voluntarily, it would be proper
to admit her to bail. Justice GlDD
acknowledged the truth of these state
ments regarding Standifer, but SAT-
it would be against his better jude
ment to admit the woman to q q
the present state of the case. HOW
ever. he fixed the bail at $4,000.
