State Senator Charles Mcdonnell of
Sweet Grass county has been SEN
fenced by Judge Wolverton in the
United States court to spend "a hours
in the Lewis and Clark county jail and
to pay fine of $3.50 for illegal fencing
of public lands in Sweet Grass county
in connection with the sheep business.
His partner, Edward Veesey, received
similar sentence and fine. Both
pleaded guilty.
1t is estimated from the number fill
ing upon lands in the Crow reserva-
ton that only about II per cent Of the
total number of those who drew win
ming numbers will take advantage of
their rights and select land. Only 20
of the fourth group of 125 persons ap-
peared and have selected lands. The
reluctance to accept the lands is be-
lieved to be due to the high price to
be asked by the government for the
use of irrigating water
