yer Row county, in which their mines are

anccs from thu Amalgamated Copper COM
pany that their mines and smelters will

After having given personal attention
TO this subject during the past week, can
see no other way by which most distress
ing condition OF things in our state during
the coming winter can be avcfied. The
legislative measures 10 which ] refer, while
giving relief TO the people of Montana are
clearly in the line of fair dealing and are
for the interests of all of the people Of
oar state and are part off the statutes Of
most Of the states OF the union.
Should the legislature lie called to

out delay. whereas any other plan or ar
ranacnent will involve delay of many
months IL seems to me that every citizen
of Montana who has at heart the best in
terests Of our state and who desires to
avert much distress and loss during the
coming winter months should indorse the
suggestion have made for calling to-
gether the legislators OF our state for this
specific purpose"

Nav Order Militia.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. a.-Governor
Chatterton is waiting for additional infor-
nation before ordering troops to the scene
of troubles with the Indians. The governor
has called OH the commission of Indian af-
fairs TO assist in bringing the murderers
to justice He will also insist that no
more Indians be permitted to leave their
reservations to hunt in Wyoming.
Under the law every Indian outside Of
the state must take ont gun license
which costs $50 and go with professional
guide when they hunt.
1t is held that every Indian who fails to
do this violates the laws and the general
government as guardian of the red men is
responsible to the state for the payment
of the license.
The present trouble has been brewing
for long time and now that the Indians
are aroused it is feared there will be a
serious outbreak before they are made to
understand that the laws must be re-
spcctcd.

but little from those of last week and the
inside estimates, it is reported OH good
authority, still going to show that the re-
suit will be exceedingly close, with not
more than $1,000 majority either way.

ton of 100000 plurality for Mcclellan,

$4,000, based on majorites in every
