An CnWellcOme Visitor In Butte.

BUTTE, July 26.-That many men in
Butte have no use for the men who
helped guard the ''bull pen" during
the late Cpur d'Alene trouble, when a
number of the residents of that section
were imprisoned at Wardner, was
shown by an incident which occurred
last night. George Il. Edmiston, a
detective connected with the Thiel de.
tective agency of Seattle, and who has
been 10 this city tor a few days, was
spotted by some of the men who were
his victims during the labor trouble,
and they Immediately showed him that
he was not wanted 10 Butte. A large
number of people on the corner OF
Park and Main streets accosted him
and were in the mood for handling
him roughly.
AS Don as it was learned what the
trouble was, several men gathered
and threatened him with violence. He
appealed to Officer Whitley, and that
officer immedi ately hustled him to the
city jail, the crowd increasing in mum.
bers as the march to the Jail pro.
crossed. He finally managed TO leave
the city without further trouble.

Chinook Opinion: There is a great
scarcity Of ranch labor Just at present.
Men r wanted all over northern
Montana to work in the hay fields
and it is almost impossible TO secure
sufficient help. The same plant is
heard in the towns. Here in Chinook,
both skilled and unskilled is in great
demand and it is almost impossible to
obtain men.

OF idleness, the vicinity Of Saddle
Butte near this city is again being

Attorney General Galeu Gives Opinion
CpOn Doubtful Cases.

HELENA, July 2S.-Attorney Gener.
al Galen handed down an opinion TO.
day dealing with the question of reg.
istration that is of general use. Coun.
ty Attorney j. A. Matthews of Broad.
water asked MIR. Galen II, under the
law fixing eight.year registration per.
iods, each elector is required to reg.
lister this year. regardless Of the length
of time since he last registered.
In reply to that Mr.. Galen says that
the law provides there shall be a gen.
eral registration Of all voters every
eight years. beginning with 1898, and
it makes no difference whether a man
registered two years ago or as far
back as eight years, he must register
this year.
The other question was in regard to
counties where the primary law has
been adopted. Mt. Matthews put this
question: "Registration books close
Aug. Is. Are all electors who may
come into the county between Aug. Is
and Oct. l, and who, except for the
registration. are qualified voters,
barred from voting at the general cleo.
ton, or will there be such q thing as
swearing in ~voters?"
The reply to the question, in part,
is: 1.-The amendment Of section 1905,
made by section IA Of the primary law,
Is an unqualified amendment OF such
section, and that, therefore, the only
time allowed for the registration OF
electors in counties having adopted
the primary election law is during the
period mentioned in said section,
namely, between July Is and Aug. Is.
There is absolutely no provision for
the swearing in Of voters or opening
