BUTTE, June 6.-Uuited States Off.

80, 200 numbered tickets, as we'll as a
list of agents in the United States and
Canada. The concern Is incorporated
for Sl2, 600, 900.
The arrest "a made as the result
of Investigations which have been car.
ried on by~lPostofiice Inspector c.. NJ.
Perkins for.the past two years, and
which indicate that the Montana Min
ing, Loansand Investment company is
one of the most gigantic ''get-rlch.
quick schemes that has ever flour.
ished ia America.
In the mass Of tickets and docu.
ments found in the Office. there was no
prospectus or printed matter which
explained in detail the methods en-
ployed by the company. The tickets
sold, however, are 81, 80 cents and %
cents. The reading matter pom these
tickets states that the holder is the
possessor OF a portion of a full share
OF stock in the Montana Mining, Loan

The Policeman and His Uniform.
Why is it that a policeman Of medi-
UNI build can handle frequently two
and sometimes three men his size In a
fight? An officer on the local force was
discussing the question. I'll tell yo1
why it is," he said. 1T Is simply be-
cause the policeman Is in uniform. The
uniform denotes authority, and that
takes the nerve Out Of his opponents
to a certain extent. They know that
they are breaking the law by resisting
him. while he might even kill them and
not commit a crime. All through q fight
with a policeman the other fellow or
fellows are thinking Of escape. Tie
officer isn't. He's thinking of subduing
and arresting the man or men. He puts
his whole effort and strength into it,
while his opponents generally fight in
a half hearted way. Put q policeman in
citizens clothes, with his star under his
coat, and he wouldn't be able to WHIP
two men his size any more than you
would unless the two men knew he
was an officer of the law."-Kansas
