that he is heartily in accord with the
movement instituted by the people OF
this section and would lend every as

to the wetsern country the senator
said that the trip would bring Mr..

western people than ever, if such
were possible.

Senator Dietrich will hasten home in
order to be on hand to receive the
president when he enters the state
noted for hot winds and droughths.

Action Dismissed.
This afternoon the court rendered
his decision on the motion of the de-
Tense to dismiss the action of the Pri-
vate Commercial Bank of Wilno, Rus
STA, VS.. Adam Felix Won K~lutschinsky.
The suit was brought for the recovery
OF about $1,400 and some shares OF
mining stock on deposit in the First
National bank of this city and claim
ed by the defendant.
Klutschinsky at one time resided
in this county and was engaged in
the sheep business on the Mussel-
shell. Several years ago he was ar
rested and taken back to Russia,
whence he had come, on complaint OF
the plaintiff in the present action,
charged with having embezzled a large
amount of it's funds while in it's en-
ploy. He was convicted and exiled
to Siberia. All the time he was pos
sessed of the money and stock and the
suit dismissed today was brought by
the bank for their recovery, the al
legation being that they were the
rightful property of the bank; that the
money was a part of that stolen by
the defendant and that the mining
stock had been bought with still an
other part of The amount originally
taken by him.
The motion to dismiss, made by F.
H. Hathhorn. Defendants attorney,
was on the ground hat the court had
no Jurisdiction in the premises, for
the reason that the plaintiff was a
foreign institution, located in Russia,
and that the defendant was, likewise,
a subject of the same country.
This view of the case was sustain
ed by the court and an order Of dis
missal was made. o. F. Goddar, for
the plaintiff, excepted to the ruling
and was granted 20 days in which to
prepare and file a bill of exceptions.
Farmer Is Free.
On motion of the county attorney
the case of State VS.. Edward O..
Farmer was dismissed. In support of
the motion an affidavit was submitted
in which it was set forth that the
prosecuting witness, G. d. Prather,
was averse to appearing against the
defendant, and that while Farmer had
committed the assault alleged in the
information filed against him, the cir
cumstances in connection with it had
been such as to make it doubtful
whether a conviction could be secured
because of the testimony Prather
would probably give. 1t was also
shown that the defendant had been
araigned in the Justices court April
=, 1903, and there had pleaded guilty
to a complaint charging him with as.
sault in the third degree and had been
fined 500 and costs, both of which
he had paid; that the action in the
Justices court had been pursuant to
on agreement between the attorney
tor the state and the attorney for the
defense by which the action pending
in the district court was to be dis
missed.

PRESCRIBING THE DUTIES OF
PEACE OFFICERS.
ARGUMENTS ARE HEARD
Col. Nolan Contends the Act Is Un.
constitutional-County At
torney Says No.

Helena, April 10.-Judge Henry G.
Smith, in department / of the district
court, yesterday heard arguments up
on the constitutionality Of the law
passed by the recent legislature pre-
scribing the duties Of a peace officer
and providing a penalty for their re-
fusal to perform them.
County Attorney Lincoln Working
and Assistant Attorney General F. w.
Metler represented the county and
state respectively and Colonel c. B.
Nolan the defense. The matter is up
as a test case upon the guilt or inno-
cence of S. r. King, the Helena po-
liceman who was relieved of his star
some time ago by Chief of Police
Thomas Travis for refusing to make
an investigation of alleged gambling
upon complaint of a citizen.
The argument was begun in the
morning and was not concluded until
after Don Colonel c. B. Nolan argu-
ed that the law was not constitutional
and maintained that il could in no way
be enforced. One of his chief conten-
lions was that the bill authorized an
officer to go to q private house, break
into it and arrest persons for a mis-
demeanor without a warrant. He held
that this was in direct violation of
both the state and federal constitu-
tons which provides that a citizen
shall be secure in his person and ef-
fects from unreasonable searches and
seizures.
Argument Of Colonel Nolan.
do you suppose" said the speaker,
that the legislature meant to provide
a penalty for an officer who does not
at once visit any private home in the
city Upon the word OF a citizen? Why,
all the constitutional safeguards are
thrown aside by this law. The sherin
at a word from any citizen must pro-
coed to the home of anyone no matter
in what remote corner of the county
it may be situated and arrest him.
This taking away of the protection OF
the home by this law is in direct VIC
lation, l say again, of one OF the safe
guards of the constitution and this
making the arrest of a person without
a warrant who has committed a mis-
demeanor or about to commit one is
SO preposterous that l must apologize
to your honor for consuming your
time"
County Attorney Working on behalf
of the state then took up and discuss
ed the spirit, reason and interpreta-
ton of the law and said that it must
be construed in a most liberal man.
ner.
1--WE must look at it in the way the
legislature did when it was passed."
said Mr.. Working. "Such a state
of affairs existed at n time n a
peace officers would not go TO perform
a duty at times when informed by a
citizen and the legislature enacted
this law to stop this sort of thing.
"The law simply places a cudgel in
the hands of a citizen and compels
an officer to attend to his, duty. II
he does not do so, why he is to simply
be removed and disqualified 0
again holding Office. That is what the
law intends shall be done and it con-
forms in every way to the statute gov
erning the duties of a peace officer"
The argument al not concluded, as
an adjournment was taken when Mr..
Working finished.
