Taska for Children.

II is not only cruel but most unwise
to set little children tasks fitted only
for persons OF mature years. Little
children should not be required nor
allowed TO perform any drudgery, and
especially to lift heavy weights. Chill.
dren's bones are tender, not having
osslfed so as to be hardened, so they
easily become deformed and grow out
Of shape.

Bozeman, Mont, Aug. PA daring
holdup was committed yesterday only a
and within a few hundred yards Of several
dwelling houses. The robbers escaped
with $1,S00 in paper money and with no
clue left behind
The victim was Hadley Morrison, a con-
tractor on Montana railroad, formerly
of Bozeman, who came to town from
Lombard to settle several large bills with
Bozenan business men.
He had made arrangements to draw his
pay from the company in currency, and
while making short cut thru some brush
near the station two men suddenly con-
fronted him with pistols pointed at his
head and ordered him to come into the
hedge.
He did SO, but succeeded in drawing his
own gun meanwhile The robbers took
the gun away from him and battered him
in the face with it. They made him hold
up his hands and then searched him.
Morrison says he recognized the high
waymen.

LOST AND VET WON

Saloonkeepers Promise to Remove Screens
and Abide by the Law.
TRACY, MINIMIZING suit brought by
the city against the saloonkeepers for vio-
lating the screen ordinance was stub
bornly contested. 1t began on Friday and
lasted five days. The defense, realizing
that the violations charged in the COM
plant were beyond dispute, made a des-
perate effort to escape the penalty thru
some technicality. First the validity of
the ordinance was attacked. But after
two days of controversy by the lawyers,
the court sustained the ordinance
BY change OF venue the case went be-
fore another justice and two more DAYS
were consumed in taking testimony and
In argument. In the meantime the whole
city was stirred up over the case and the
courtroom was full Of interested specta-
tors. Public sentiment was decidedly In
sympathy with the prosecution
On the fifth day the court acquitted the
defendant. The decision no doubt was
due to the fact that long before the trial
was over all the saloonkeepers signified
willingness to remove their screens and
abide by the law. And as the prosecu-
ton was brought not so much to punish
the offenders as to insure their future
compliance with the law 1t Is not likely
the city will appeal the case It Is gen
orally conceded that the law-abiding ele-
ment scored a splendid victory, notwith-
standing the decision.
