Now that the immigration board for
boosting Montana is to become a re-

selection Of the men to represent the
several counties Of the state in the
dictatorship will be wisely made. In
ChOuteau county Mayor Newman Of
Ilavre is the man for the place and
by reason OF his activity in the work
and Pc minencc, early in the infancy
Of the IHOTcmnet, he should be tend

he will! lie made one of the executive

on the plan to be adopted have been
most heartily endorsed and he is the
man to continue the representation

results.

The suggestion from the ladies of
the VIC T. u, that a curfew law
be established in Havre seems to us
wise one and the council acted in
good Judgment in taking the prelim
mary steps in this direction. 1t is a
self evident truth that there are MANY
little ones on the streets at unseem-
~ hours of the night when they would
be much safer and better off at home
with parents and guardians. The pre-
ventation of accidents and the better
upraising of little ones will follow the
establishment of a curfew law in
Havre, as we'll as in other cities.

IF any of the stage coach drivers

Hardly possible, colonel. The
stages are all pretty heavily loaded on
that route and the driver wouldn't
have much chance to do any trfckery.
No, sir; it's some one in a post office,

Pughitt and then be around
Pughitt came over a little later and
made great sport of Cheneys failure.
The colonel stood it for awhile, but
finally said:
Look here, Pughitt, inside of ten
days or two weeks there will be an
other robbery. The report will come
to you. When it does, bring all the
papers, packets, ETC., in the case to
me and in three minutes I'll name
your robber Is that clear?"
CLEAR all right, Jack, but I'm afraid
age is creeping on you"
wait and see"
1t was just three weeks to a day
after that that Pughitt came back
TT came off all right, colonel, and
here are the papers in the case"
Cheney looked them over and cast all
of them aside except the envelope
from which the money had been ex-
tracted.
I'll be back in a minute, Pughitt."
He returned shortly and said: Who's
the postmaster at Boydston?"
Pughitt looked up quickly and said:
His name is Anderson, Abe Ander-
son, and better chap never lived"
THAT may all be so, Bob, but Abe
Anderson was the man who extracted
the money from this envelope-Or it
may have been some one in his office"
mo, it couldn't be anyone in the
office, because Anderson handles all
the mail himself. But, Cheney, why
should that man steal?"
Hang it, l don't know why he
should steal; but he did it, all right"
What proof have yOu?"
Cali that is necessary to convict him

'But you expect me to arrest this

Cheney's eyes grew cold. Pughitt
was crowding near to the border line
Of friendship. Look here, Bob, l have
lost some cases in my life, but ! have
never yet arrested the wrong man.
Isn't that SOP
That's true, Cheney"
well, then, you get Abe Anderson
into this office, and if he isn't the
guilty man III pay all the damages
any court may assess for false i'm
prisonment, and | guess I'm able to do
that"
"All right, Cheney, I'll get him here,
as you say, but I'm dubious as to the
outcome"
1t was ten days after that that
Pughitt brought Anderson into Che
