STORY OF SOL BROWN
NEGRO RAISED MONEY TO BURY
 MOTHER.
His Parent Had Been Dead Many Years and Sol Brown Bought
 Liquids With Lucre Donated For Funeral.

Sol Brown. a negro, went about the streets of Montgomery with a petition written on the letter head of a well
 known undertaken, asking for small contributions to aid him in buryins | his mother.
 An investigation of fact proved that | Sol Browns mother had been dead | many years and that there was nc
 immediate necessity of reinterring her remains. Sol Brown was captured by Constable Jim Smith, but he attempted to resist. Sol Brown got a clip on the head from the butt end of re-
 volver and now Sol Brown languishes in the Montgomery county jail on a charge of embczz1ement sworn out before Justice Boiling c. Young. The negro. we'll known character about town. whose chief occupation is showing young gentlemen of sport loving proclivities. where the coons and possums are most likely to be found, yesterday thought that this was too arduous a manner in which to earn money. Perhaps he had never read of Thomas w. Lawson but he had
 ideas of his own about frenzied fi- nance
 He hied himself to the office of Elijah Cook. negro undertaken, and while he engaged Elijah Cook in con- versation, he pilfered a letter head from his desk. He then went forth and wrote a pitiful appeal to the good people of Montgomery to assist him in burying his mother Thus armed he went forth.
 Persons were feeling happy yester- day. Business was good and the holi-l day spirit was beginning to commence it's annual labors. Sol Brown found small trouble In gathering together enough money to buy coffin and pay an undertaken. f
 But Sol Browns ideas of spending money are not directed toward turn ing 1t loose in an undertaking estab- lishment He prefers letting the un- dertaker get his money by a more cirouitous route.
 Accordingly Sol Brown entered vari- ous place where spurious, vinous and malt liquors and beverages are sold. and disposed of the majority of his mothers burial fund.
 Sol Brown succeeded in getting a skin full" and Constable Jim Smith succeeded in getting Sol Brown.
 The pefidious actions of the negro had been reported to Justice Young and warrant had just been sworn out, when 10 and behold Sol Brown passed the magistrates office in a 1 rather unsteady fashion carrying a package that a good two horse de- livery wagon should transport. Con- stablee Smith rushed out to Sol Brown l and engaged in conversation with him. | Sol Brown was not willing to go to ! prison and he made oration to that effect. Constable Smith attempted to put a pair of handcuffs on the 1 wrists of Sol Brown and Sol Brown attempted to put a welt on Constable | Smiths jaw. Constable Smith drew his pistol and struck Sol Brown with 1 considerable force on the head that devised the scheme for the purpose of allowing the public to get rid of some | of its money.
 Sol Brown then accompanied Con- | stable Smith as Constable Smith de- sired. Poor Sol Brown.

Dnirymen Discuss Affair Informally
 With Chicago Expert.
 Plans for the erection of pasteuriz. ing plant and 0 central milk depot, pro- mulgated by J. q. Quinn of Chicago. were discussed by the leading dairymen of Montgomery for two hours yesterday morning in the City Council Chamber.
 The dairymen met at II o'clock and were informally addressed by Mir. Quinn. They spent a great deal of time in the exchange of ideas on the pro- posed plan.
 The milk dealers will meet again in a few days when they will select com mittee to accompany Mir. Quinn to Mo- bile, where an inspection will be made of a plant recently installed by him in that city. It is likely that Dr. Gaston Griel, City Physician. and W. l.. Stew art, City Milk Inspector. will be named as members of the committee.
 The centralizlng plan, 1t Is said. will afford more economy in the handling of the product and will afford the con- sumers a better quality of milk.

Harry Beamer. local freight agent
of the Northern Pacific, says the
Spokesman Review, received a circu-
lar from the company's headquarters
at st. Paul calling his attention to ex-
listing laws in Idaho and Montana, re-
garding the shipment of livestock,
which, if adhered to. will make the
transferring over the road of stolen
stock next thing to an impossibility.
The laws of the two states mention
ed are practically identical and pro-
vide that before the shipper of cattle
horses, mules or asses makes a ship
ment of any of these animals he must
give notice to the constable of the
precinct in which the stock is to be
loaded on the cars stating the time
when the shipment is to be made and
also the point where he expects to
load the stock. The officer must then
go to the shipping point and examine
the animals and make a careful rec
ord of any marks or brands found on
them, also the name and residence
of the shipper and of the consignee.
If any of the animals are found
branded with a brand not owned and
recorded by the shipper the latter
shall be required to produce bill of
sale of the stock from the owner of
the recorded brand, or give other evil
dence of his ownership satisfactory to
the officer. before he. shall be permit
ted to load the stock on the cars. In
all cases where an animal is branded
with a brand not the owners, the
owner of the brand must be notified
and also be furnished by the con-
stable with a detailed description OF
the animal and the name and resi-
dence of the proposed shipper.
Must Have Certificate.
If everything in regard to the own
ership of the stock is found to be O.
K. the constable shall issue a certifi-
cate. stating the number of animals
in the shipment, their description
etc, to the railroad company and ir
way-billlng the shipment the shipping
agent of the company must attach g
duplicate certificate of inspection tC
the way bill and note on the surface
of each way bill the number of the
certificate, date of inspection ant
name of the constable or justice o.
the peace where the certificate wal
issued. In Montana the certificate
of inspection must be signed by th'
legal stock inspector of the county OF
by the sheriff before 1t is valid.

PA1.oUsE PROJECT IS WEAK.
Held That the Cost of Instituting 1t Is
Prohibitive.

The people Of this section of the
state have never been aroused as they
are now. The Palouse canal project
is the cause.
For months it was practically con-
ceded by the engineers in charge that
the project was feasible and would
probably be undertaken,
There was hardly a cloud in the sky
until A. P. Davis, chief engineer, came
into the field after spending a week
in Yakima, where no projects have
been investigated. Mr.. Davis spent
parts of three days on the Palouse
territory, and then raised estimates
of former boards to a point which
might be prohibitive from the stand
point Of the interior department. 1t
does seem to the people that from so
short an examination Mr. Davis could
get but little data for raising the es-

NEGLECTING AN OPPORTUNITY
Demand for an Interior Packing
House for Native Meats.

w. L. LaMotte brought into town
recently 1000 pounds of cured meat,
bacon and hams. The meat was put
on sale at local store and rush
was made for the home product as
soon as the patrons knew where it
was. The meat lasted only a few
days.
This circumstance should be an eye
opener to the average rancher, says
the Methow Valley News Of Twisp,
Wash. The merchants inform us
that the heaviest item they have to
buy is cured meats. There is not a
single reason why a single pound of
this product should be imported into
this section, as has been pointed out
heretofore. Our farmers are over
looking an important source of reve-
nue. when they do not supply local
stores with the commodity.
