MAKE ROUGH HOUSE FOR
LOVE OF JAPANESE GIRL
Y. Higashie and A. Kauai Engage In
Shooting Match on Jessie
Street

The usual quietude of Jessie street
was thrown into a wild state Of ex-
citement last night by shooting
scrape between two Japanese-Y. Hig-
ashie and A. Kanai. 1t all occurred
because both men were in love with the
same girl.
Higashie lives in the third story of
55S Jessie street and his rival for the
affections of the fair Japanese maiden
lives directly opposite. Higashie
claimed that Kanai was trying to steal
away the love of his fair inamorata.
Be that as it may. Higashie saw Kanai
walking along the sidewalk opposite
his abode and. grabbing a pistol, he
ran to his window and scaled down a
long rope that happened to be attached
to the house. AS he slid down the
rope he opened up fire on Kanai, who
returned the compliment by firing back.
Both showed a marvellous lack of
craftsmanship and nobody was hurt.
The row attracted a great crowd,
which applauded the fracas and only
dispersed on arrival of the police.
The fighters We're taken to the Gen.
trail station, where they were locked
up and charged with attempt to COM
nit murder.

FOREST FOR MOUNT HELENA
The Government Will Plant 10000
Trees on This Peak

!ioZeman. Mont, November Ebay
f. Bond OF the United States forest
service. has returned from Il trip
through the Gallatin reserve for the
purpose Of selecting sites for small
nurseries to be used in training the
rangers in the planting and care Of
young trees. He selected four sites,
one at the mouth of Squaw creek, in
the West Callatin canyon: one in the
upper basin of the West Gallatin. near
WILSON'S place; one on Middle creek.
about ten miles from the mouti, Of the
canyon. and one on Mill creek toward
the eastern edge of the reserve.
Mr.. Bond will supervise the planting
of 10000 trees on~ Mount Helena. re-
Gently set apart as Il public park. In
DER the auspices; Of the Helena I'M
provement Society 10000 were planted,
there last ring, but not a single one
OF them came up. Now the govern
ment will furnish all the trees and the
cost of planting them, and the rang =
erS OF the Helena reserve will take
care of them. The forestry depart
meht hopes to show the possibility of
the plan OF the refores.ation of that
area.
The trees for this purpose are shipped
from i!alsey. Ncb., on the Niobrara re-
serve, and are now on the way. The

as whole. has not been ovcrStockcd in
the past, SO that no reduction in the
total number will be necessary. Mr.
Bond also noted that the natural re-
production of the forest trees over the
burned and cut area in the forest re-
scrv" is going on very satisfactorily
AMI that only 4 small amount of artin-
cial reforcstation will -. necessary He
thinks that even if the cutting of mer-
chantabie timber is kept up steadily on
this reserve the total amount will be
larger there in fifty year, than it is
today.
