Wool and Mutton Gossip,

1t appears that contracts for next
seasons wool clip are still being
made. Bourne Il Hamilton, of the
Sweet Grass hills, recently received
an offer of 20 cents, but decided not to
accept.
Another northern Montana wool
firm is said to have been offered p
cents for its next seasons clip, but
the owner believes he will do better in
the open market.
According to the Helena lndepen-
dent, the Sands Land g. Cattle COM
pany, whose headquarters is in that
city but whose sheep range in Teton
county, have contracted their wool
clip at 2l4 cents.
1t is reported from Culbertson that
j. B. Loug has purchased the Banna-
tyne sheep outfit which was grazing in
that vicinity. It consisted of abou,
1900 head, mostly dry ewes.

More Trouble For Stock

1t appears that the seizure of north.

their range into Canadian territory
may cause serious trouble, to stock
men. \ few weeks ago the River

The Bloom Cattle company. of which

TO PUNISH BLACK MAILERS.
A Measure Aimed Al Criminals Of the
Gravelle Stripe

HELENA, Jan. l4.-It has been dis
covered that if a man of the Isaac
Gravelle stripe, for the purpose OF
loot or to brighten the management of
a railway into yielding to his de-
mands for a large sum of money,
dynamites a train or attempts to dyna.
mite it, he a be punished in Mon.
tana only for malicious mischief.
TO supply what is recognized as one
Of the most astonishing omissions OF
the statutes of Montana, and provide
for adequate punishment of dyna-
miters and train wreckers OF all kinds,
a bill has been prepared. 1t is al.
ready known as the ''Gravelle bill,"
and it is in the hands of Representa-
tive William w. Berry Of Lewis and
Clarke county. Mr.. Berry today gave
notice of his intention to introduce it
at an early date, and there is small
chance of the measure not passing
both branches of the legislature and
becoming a law.
1t was the experience of the North.
ern Pacific Railway company and the
state with the late Isaac Gravelle thai
led to the drafting Of the measure. 1t
will make %dynamiting and train wreck.
ing, and attempted train wrecking, a
felony and punishable with adequate
severity.
When the ninth Legislative assembly
shall have completed its work, it ia
also probable that travellers on trains
in the state of Montana will be as safe
from harm at the hands of drunken
and disorderly passengers as in their
W homes, for the chances are tina,
By that time every conductor operat.
ing a train within the state will be iu
effect q sheriff, with many of the
rights, privileges and duties that an.
pertain to that Office.
The bill makes every conductor a
sheriff in effect, and gives him the
right to arrest offenders against the
peace on trains within the state. The
conductors can make arreets in exa
~ the sane as sheriffs and
policemen, and to accomplish this car
deputize any passenger where assist.
ance is necessary. The offenders are
to be turned over to the city or county
authorities in whose jurisdiction the
offenses are committed. BY this bill
the rights of the travelling public will
be better safeguarded than has beer
the case in the past.

The Fellow Servant Bill.

The bill submitted to the state legls.
lature on behalf Of railroad employees,
and which has been passed by the

Section l. Every person or corpor-
ton operating a railway or railroad
in this state shall be liable for all
damages sustained by any employe of
such person or corporation in conse.
quence of the neglect of any other EN-.
ploye or employees thereof, and in con.
sequence of the wilful wrongs. whether
OF commission or omission, of any
other employe or employees thereof,
when such neglect, mismanagement or
wrongs are IN any manner connected
with the use and operation of any
railway or railroad on or about which
they shall be employed, and no con
tract which restricts such liability
shall be legal or binding.
Sec. ,. In case OF the death of any
such employe in consequence of any
injury or damage so sustained. the
right of action shall survive and may
be prosecuted and maintained by his
heirs or personal representatives.
Sec. 3. All acts and parts of acts
in conflict with this act are hereby re.
pealed.

and be in force from and after its pas

SENATOR CARRIERS CAREER.
Matters Of Interest Concerning the Sue
cessful Senatorial Candidate.

Thomas Henry Carter, who will rep.
resent Montana in the United States
senate for the coming six years, was
born In Scioto county, Ohio, in 1854.
With his parents he moved in 1865 to
Illinois, where he worked on a farm
until he attained his majority. He en-
gagged for a time in railroad work aud
later taught school. His spare time
was occupied in the study of law, aud
he was oon admitted to the bar, OPEN
ing up his first law Office at Burling.
ton, Iowa.
In 1852 Mr.. Carter came to Helena,
where he formed a law partnership
with Attorney John B. Clay berg.
Here he identified himself with the re.
publican party and took an active
part in all republican gatherings.
His activity merited his nomination
for congress IN 1888, and he wa elec-
ted territorial delegate by a majority
OF 5,l26 votes over w. A. Clark. One
year later MIR. Carter defeated Martin
Maginnis for congress by a majority
OF l,64S. Montana had this year at.
tanned its statehood, requiring a regu.
lar representative in congress-. In
1880 Mr.. Carter was chosen secretary
OF the republican congressional COM
mittee. During his absence he was
again nominated as candidate for con.
gress but was defeated by w. w. Dix.
on, the Democratic candidate, by 300
votes.
AT the expiration of his term in con.
gress President Harrison appointed
him commissioner of the general land
office. At the end of two years he was
chosen chairman Of the republican
national committee, a position he held
for four years. being succeeded by the
late Marcus Hanna. He managed an
unsuccessful campaign however, the
democrats electing Grover Cleveland.
In 1895 he was elected long.term
United States senator by the Fourth
legislative assembly. During his car.
eer in the sen ate he attained nation a.
fame in his determined opposition t.
the passage of the celebrated rive,
and harbor bill, and his prolonged
speech on that occasion is still spoken
of as one of the most remarkable IL
the history of the senate. His term ir
the senate expired March 4, 1901. HI
was later appointed commissioner o,
