penitentiary Monday, and the authori-
ties are seeking to establish his iden.
tity, or discover who are his next of
kin. Clark was about S8 years old.
and was sent up from douglas county
for burglary almost five years ago. It
is thought that the name under which
he was commuted is an alias. Should
no one be found to claim the body It

sen.tor Clark. Bad Precedent.

While going through his mail the
other morning Congressman Bower
sock of Kansas paused some time over
one letter and said: Il am inclined
to think that Senator Clark of Mon
tana has established q bad prece-
dent" Someone asked why he had
reached that somewhat belated con-
clusion. For this reason" replied
the Kansas man, holding up the let
ter and newspaper clipping. The
clipping recites how Mr.. Clark gave
81 ,O0O. 900 to his first grandson and
the letter, which is from my son. is
rs follows: Dear Father: This plan
worked well IN Senator Clark's case.
Why not try it yourself?' That's why
I rather think the senator has set .

The unprecedented rush of cattle.
particularly low grade beef animals
to the Chicago market to compete with
holiday poultry, Is unfortunate
enough, but the situation has been
made still more difficult by shortass
Of cars and engines caused by the coal
traffic. This has seriously interfered
with the export trade In meat and cat
tie. Even II corn Is high It would
surely be better to hold half fat ami.
mails until conditions for marketing
improve than to forward them and 20
congest the channels Of trade that the
bottom drops out Of prices. In most
parts Of the country the season has
been good and feed supplies are
abundant. There seems no good rea-
son for the mad rush to dispose of
cattle which. unless all signs fail will
be worth far more per pound . few
weeks hence than they are now. Good
beef is always in demand and feeders
who are looking for q sure thing can
not afford to curtail the fattening
process.

But the turkey has never been brought

may be due In, part to frequent out

THE BOY CONFESSED.
Robbed the Postoftice at Lola, Mon,
tana.


Henry Delaney, II years DID, will an.
swer in the federal court to charge
of rC55ing the postofiice at Lolo. He
appeared voluntarily before United
States Commissioner Wallace p Smith
and confessed the crime. He was plac.
ed under $500 bonds. His father. J,
F. Delaney, furnished the bond. 1t
was the father who compelled the boy
to confess and surrender.
The postoffice at Lolo has been en-.
tered several times during the past
year and mali matter tempered with.
continued and paddock was the next
resort. 1t was impossible, however, to
keep out the unknown criminal.
Postoffice Inspector Beatty of Great
Falls has been working on the case
and details of the robberies have been
kept from the public. Early in the
present week Inspector Beatty visited
Lolo and cleaned information that
caused suspicion to rest on young De.
laney. The official believed that the
boy had at least a guilty knowledge of
the affair and questioned him closely,
but was able to detect nothing to solve
the mystery of the robbery.
Back of the above statement of facts
there is story of rectitude in the
path of duty rarely equaled in real life.
Young Delaney after the Inspector
visit, confessed to his father that he
was guilty. Hesitating not an instant,
he at once came to Missoula with his
son, and before the federal commits
siOner complained of the crime. 1t is
probable the crime could never have
been traced otherwise. Mr.. Delaney
extends every tender feeling toward
his son in the lads extremity, but says
nothing could prevent his discharging
his duty.
The Delaneys have been respected
residents of this community for many
years, and the fathers action has
brought warmest praise from the in.
spector.
