and clerks, nearly a score of persons,

light, covering central court, pre-
cipitating 10000 gallons of water and
a shower of broken glass on the main
floor. A number of clerks and Gus

FLAG DAY NAMED FOR MONTANA

From the date of it's inception in
the year 1898, the movement having
for it's object the fitting observance
of the anniversary of the birthday of
the ntional emblem has grown so taht
at this time the occasion has come to
be observed appropriately in a large
number Of teh states in the union.
1t is eminently proper that teh birth
day of teh American flag should thus
be commemorated on each recurring
year In the life of every Ameri-
can citizen, Old Glory stands for Ii
berty, and truth and justice, and the
instilling of these principles in the
minds and hearts of old and young is
ever praiseworthy.
I, therefore, in pursuance of this
commendable custom, hereby proclaim
Thursday, June 14th, 1906, as Flag
day, this being the one hundred and
twenty ninth anniversary of the a.
doption of the Stars and Stripes as
the flag of the United States, and

prove them for the reason that they
introduce a new procedure to our
criminal law and tend to defer i'll
definitely the termination of a capital
case.
Rice, of whose murder Patrick is
convicted, died on Sept. IS, 1900,
nearly six years ago. The laws de-
lays in this case seem to me little
less than scandalous
IAN amendment to the code of
criminal procedure might, however,
well be made, which would permit de-
fendant's application for new trial
in capital case to be made to any
justice of the supreme court within
the judicial department where the
conviction was had, SO that the de-
fendant may not be required in any
case to present his motion to the
judge presiding at the trial"
Recorder Goff, before whom Pat
rick was originally tried, has now un-
der consideration such a motion for
a new trial for Patrick. and Governor
Higgins has reprieved the condemned
lawyer for third time untn June Is,
on this account.

& Co. that they had contracted their
1906 wool clip, 100000 pounds, to F.

The price was not made public by
the firm, but it is believed to have bee
at least 25 cents. Lact year the firm
sold it's clip at % u cents.
The clip will undoubtedly be the
largest ever sold in Montana, being
so per cent greater than the same firm
clip last year. Nearly all the wool wi

some of it will be sheared in Teton an

MINNEAPOLIS MAN CONVICTED
OF EMBEzzLiNG METRoPoLl.
TAN BANK STOCK.
SURPRISED THE DEFENDANT
VERDICT OF GUILTY WAS NOT
WHAT HE HAD EXPECTED
JURY TO RETURN.

Minneapolis, May 3O.-Dr J. F.
Force, formerly president of the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company, has been found guilty of
embezzlement. Sentence was deferred
pending arguments on a motion for a
new trial. The specific charge under
which DR.. Force was convicted was
the embezzlement Of 1876 shares of
Metropolitan bank stock from the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company while he was president of
the insurance company. The trial
brought out much sensational testi-
mony.
1t took the jury more than five
hours to reach an agreement, but only
tAree ballots were required before the
entire twelve were unanimous in their
opinion that the former insurance Off
eial was guilty as charged in the in
dictment.
It was shortly after o'clock p. M
when Judge Brooks finished his
charge to the jury, and the fate of
the defendant was placed in the
hands of the jury. Nothing was heard
from the jurors until a few minutes
after 8 O'Clock, when the deputy in
charge was informed that the body
was ready to report.
Judge Brooks and the interested at.
terneys were Immediately communi-
Gated with. By 10 o'clock everything
was in readiness for convening court.
Outside of those directly interested in
the case there were not half dozen
persons in the room.
The jury, however, failed to appear
for about half an hour, and in the
interim Dr. Force chatted freely with
his attorney and acquaintances He
saw several reasons for hopefulness
I'm the fact that the jury had reached
an early agreement.
The opinion generally expressed in
the courtroom was that the verdict
would be acquittal, it being contended
that the evidence was practically the
same as in the Bechtel case, which
resulted in the defendants favor.
At 10:40 o'clock the jurors filed
into the courtroom and delivered their
verdict of guilty.

Washington, May 27,-Now that the
government grazing policy is in sue
cessful operation On teh national for
est reserves, the question has arisen
whether teh same or some similar
policy might not be applied to the
open public range.
The policy of the forest service is
not to hold the reserves out of use,
but to secure their fullest and most
permanent use. To this end, grazing
under proper restrictions is permit
ed. Happily, these restrictions have
thus far met with general approval.
From the first, teh Importance OF
fitting the regulations to local con-
ditions have been recognized. Rules
occasioning needless hardship to
stockmen have been modified, and
emergencies demanding instant act
ion have been promptly met.
When a new resolve has been
proclaimed all stock grazing upon it
is allowed to remain during the
first year; if, aterWard, this number
is found to be too great for the
purpose of the range, it is grad
ually reduced. Stockmen are aided
in affecting a satisfactory distriDu-
ton of their stock upon the range
and in securing from it the most
profitable and permanent use. Small
stock owners living in the vicinity
OF the reserves are given such pref
erence in the allotment Of grazing
privileges as will protect their inter
ests. First occupants of the range
and farmers owning improved lands
adjacent are preferred.
The rights of large owners based
upon tch range custom of the past
are recognized, and reductions in the
number of their stock ae rrequired
only when necessary to protect the
range or the grazing rights oof the
bona fide settlers.
Necessary range divisions between
owners of different kinds of stock
are made, and controversy between
sheepmen and cattlemen is prompt
ly ended. Where necessary, the con-
struction of drift or division fences
is not greater than the needs of the
stock owner.
Outside the forest reserves, how
ever, is an area of public land, es-
tImated at 4O0,0o0.0oo acres, which
