LEGISLATION RELATING TO THE
DYNAMITE OUTRAGES is
PROBABLE.
GRANVILLE CASE AROUSES
RAILWAYS TO ACTION
May Go Before Next Assembly and Try
to Procure Passage Of a Law Reat-
ing to Penalty for Using Dyna-
mite on Trains in State.

The inadequacy of the punishment for
the persons who are seeking to blackmail
the Northern Pacific railroad out OF large
sum OF money under threat OF blowing tip
trains will probably result in measures be-
ing introduced in the next session OF the
legislature making train wrecking crime
on par with murder.
There arc only two charges that can be
preferred against Isaac Gravelle, the sus-
pect under arrest in Helena. He can be
prosecuted for writing a threatening letter
seeking to extort money, and if convicted
can be sent 10 the pententary for five
years. He can also be prosecuted for OBJ
structing railroad, for which tlie maxi
mum punishment is FIVE years.
Many Loopholes.
OF course, there might be several con-
victions on either OF these charges and by
the aid Of cumulative sentence the guilty
ones would come near getting their deserts,
but there are so many loopholes and slips
that cumulative sentence might be difficult
TO procure. In many states train wrecking
is punishable by life sentence in the pen
tentiary, and i'll some states it is a capital
ofense.
"The punishment for crime like that
NhdlS'u dgdlliSl lHlS ItllbW bTdNtiIt Is lo-
tally INADEQUATE" said William Wallace,
Jr. OF Helena. the division counsel for the
Northern Pacific who is here attending TO
a case III the federal court.
why, this affair has no parallel in rail
roading. Here is man or a gang OF
men who have been writing threatening let
ters to officers Of the company demanding
a large sum of money to buy them off from
damaging the track and placing innocent
lives in jeopardy. Some depredations have
already been committed and there is a large
amount of discriminating evidence. The
law should be changed to make the punish
ment fit the cnormity OF the crime. Train
wrecking should be punishable by hang
ing; it is just as despicable crime as
murder and may lead to murder"
Thinks GravelIe Is Man.
Mr.. Wallace says that from reports re-
ceivcd he feels that in Gravclle the leader
OF the gang has been captured. He thinks
Gravelle is the only one who has caused
all this trouble and expense TO the COM
pany. Now that he is in jail il is expected
the threatening letters and the discovery
OF dynamite on the track will cease. ~
The letters received by the company
were mailed at Butte and Helena mainly
and sent to General Passenger Agent Fee
and Traffic Manager Hannaford. Mr.. Wal

City Wins Majority Of the
Points Raised Before
Supreme Court.
OBJECT TO KREMER
But He Is Allowed to Try
the Case-TeStimOny
of Today.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.


Helena, Oct. a1.-There was another
hearing before the supreme court today
in the proceedings commenced by the
John Weston of Silver Bow county to
of the city. The city came out victorious
on almost all of the points raised
Both sides we're given Until Saturday
pccted. The attorney for Weston has
been deprived Of about all of his defense
except the single proposition of the con-
stitutionalty of the city treasurer collect
ing taxes when the constitution and the
laws provide for the county treasurer
performing that function.
The point has never been raised be-
fore so far as known, and the outcome will
effect the municipal system of collecting
taxes.
Object to krener.
When the hearing came on today, ].
i. Healy, who appeared for Weston,
raised the question of the right of ].
Bruce Kremer to appear for the city of
Butte. claiming that it was the duty of a
city attorney appointed by Mayor Mullins.
The city has regular defacto city at
orney, let him come here and address
he court" said the attorney.
rs it fact" asked the court, that
ie city has regular Attorney"
Yes. an attorney appointed by the
ayor,' replied Healy.
Il was brought out that Mr.. Templeman,
iullns' appoirtee, had not been con-
rmed by the council, and the court said
he appointee could not be city attorney
cnless confirmed.
Mr.. Kremer was allowed to proceed in
The case. Mr.. Healy then filed motion
to quash the petition for the writ, raising
constitutional questions, but this the court
overruled. Healy then filed an answer,
raising numerous points. kremer filed a
demurrer to the answer and this was sus-
tained.
The court declined to hear arguments
from Mr. Kremer, telling him it did not
care to hear anything OH the subject, as
the answer evidently lacked suffciency.
Mr. Healy filed amended pleadings and
these raised the question of the right of
the city treasurer TO collect taxes when
the constitution confers that power upon
the county treasurer.
During the hearing Mr.. Healy raised
the point that the books had passed from
the possession OF Weston TO the county
treasurer. Suppose" asked the attorney,
the court should order him to furnish
the tax roll. how is he going to get the
books back"
IF the court made an order turning
them back to the county clerk, they would
be apt to be turned back" remarked one
of the justices in decisive manner.
The case was then submitted and the
court allowed until Saturday to file briefs.
