Wild TIMESIN BUTTE
MOB TRIES To AVENGE SHOOT
ing OF A suspect.
Harry Cole While Being Sweated
About Train Robbery Tried to Es.
cape and Was klIIed--crowd Of
5000 DecIalm for Officers Body, but
He Escapes-More Trouble Likely.

The city of Butte was in the hands
of a mob Friday night, caused by the
shooting of Harry Cole while he was
attempting to escape from the officers.
Cole had been arrested on a forgery
charge and was suspected of being i'm
plicated in the holdup of the North
Coast Limited a few. days before.
While being sweated in the Office at
the police station it is asserted he de-
family said he knew all about the
holdup and then made a break for the
door, running down the alley. Two
officers started after him, but both
stumbled and fell, and Charles Jack
son, the patrol driver, fired at the fee
ing man, striking him in the back and
killing him instantly.
A big crowd gathered shortly, and,
led by brother of Cole, attempted to
get into the police station to secure
officer McGarvey, who, it was sup
posed, had fired the fatal shot. Threats
of lynching were freely made and a
rope was secured, but The Infatuated
leaders were finally induced to retire.
Many threats were made against the
slayer of Cole and there may yet be
trouble over the affair.
Next Day.
Paddy" Rogers, one of the leaders
of the mob, issued a signed statement
through the press notifying the police
that he was going heeled" and that
he would send a bullet through any
policeman attempting to arrest him.
He notified Chief Mulholland that II
he is wanted to send a messenger to
him and he will come. Mayor Corby
threatened Chief Mulholland with pun
ishment if he did not arrest Rogers.
Rogers has figured extensively In po-
lice circles.
A coroner's jury exonerated Patrol
man Charles Jackson from all blame
for the killing of Harry Cole.
Among Coles effects was found a
complete burglars kit.
Chief of Police Thomas Mulholland
is suffering from an injured back as
a result of his rough treatment at
the hands of the mob, he being swept
off his feet and his gun taken from
him.
Big Robbery.
A big robbery occurred just outside
the city limits at an early hour Sat
urday morning, in which masked men
secured $500 in deposit checks and
1929 in cash. The victim was Mrs.
Burns, a widow. Mrs. Burns was
alarmed by the breaking of the glass
and was confronted by three masked
men with revolvers. Holding her a
prisoner, the bandits ransacked the
house from top to bottom. 1t is pre-
sumed that the robbery was committed
by some of the notorious crooks now
in the city.
Boy Killed.
Mike DAILY Saturday night shot and
killed Charles Kern, q lad who had
gone into the saloon to see one of the
Saturday evening cockfghts. The
shooting is supposed to have grown
out of some back talk by a crowd of
boys who had been ordered out of the
saloon because one of their number
played too loudly on the piano.

feature. To mention every feature in
detail would require far too much space

GOOD NEWS FOR ALL CONCERNED.
DR.. J. H. White, of the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service, Appointed Quarantine Officer.

The news that DR.. J. H. White, who
has been at the head of the United States
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service in New Orleans, is now, by force
of recent appointment in command of
the federal quarantine for Louisiana
Mississippi and the Central American
ports, will greatly please the people of
this city and state.
That DR.. White was tried and found
not wanting, here in 1904, 1905 and 1906.
is matter of quite modern history. We
have every reason to feel safe and salts
fed with such man in charge of the
quarantine situation.
1t is said that DR.. White will not be
likely to quarantine con suspicion" but
that he will not hesitate or delay one
instant if real case should be dis
covered.
Nothing could be fairer or more bene-
fetal to New Orleans, the state and the
country than just this policy properly
enactedd.
The Item extends cordial good wishes
and congratulations to DR.. White for his
promotion and to the south, on the self
same accout.-New Orleans Item.

MISS DORRlT ASHTON.


There have been many revivals in the
past, made famous by great actors and
actresses, but the forthcoming produc-
ton of "The Little Detective" on Sat-
urday night must take its place among
the foremost productions of the day.
This play was first produced by the
great Lotta, and the beautiful story still
lives in the memories of those who were
fortunate to see this great artistic in this
production. Miss Ashton will be seen
in distinct characters, as portrayed by
Americas foremost comedienne. The
management have surrounded the star
with a capable company, and its success
in other cities will, no doubt, be dupll-
Gated here. Miss Ashton will be re-
membered as Lady Isabel in "East
Lynne", who gave such an excellent
performance here few months ago.
They will, no doubt, draw a crowded
house. 1t would be we'll for those who
wish good seats to secure them now.

TIMBER RIGHTS MAY BE
SOLD BY COUNTY
To the Lessees Of Sixteesth Seetiea Laads, But
Boards Of Supervisors are Warned That TAey
Must Not Act cellssively n the Interest Il
the Trustees.

In response to a request for an official
ruling, Assistant Attorney General
Fletcher has rendered an important
opinion to the board of supervisors OF
Marion County in reference to the power
of supervisors to sell timber rights on
sixteenth section lands to present lessees
at nominal figures, the evident intention
of the board to carry out the spirit OF
the leasehold, since the supreme court
has held that such leases do not carry
timber rights.
In former opinion to the board OF
supervisors of Perry county the attorney
general held that the board OF super.
visors have no right to sell the timber
standing on sixteenth section lands ex-
cept with the consent of the lessee, and
on this new question Mr.. Fletcher says:
assuming that section ATOP, Of the
Mississippi Code of 1895 is constitutional
it would appear that the lessee consent
ing, merchantable timber and wood
growing on sixteenth section lands may
be sold by the board of supervisors.
While large discretion is by this statute
vested in the board in determining the
price of the timber sold, and the terms
of sale yet, in my opinion, the sale must
be in good faith, and not for merely
nominal consideration. In other words,
the board is making the sale as a trustee
for the sixteenth section fund, and not
for the lessees of the lands. AS such
trustees the wide discretion given by the
statute must not be abused for the sake
of conferring benefits upon persons sup
posed to have been injured by the courts
construction of the legal incidents OF the
sixteenth section leases. 1t is the duty
of the board of supervisors to subserye
the interests of the school fund in this
matter, and of the school fund alone. In
my judgement, sales of timber entered
into collusively with the lessees of the
sixteenth section lands, for a merely
nominal sum, and for the purpose of re-
lieving such lesses from this legal obli-
cation, will not stand the test when in
quired into by the courts With the
moral aspects of the recent, sixteenth
section decision, neither this Office nor
the boards of supervisors have any con-
cern. The law as written in the statutes
and interpreted and applied by the court
of last resort must be our sole guidance"
Briefly stated, this ruling that If
boards of supervisors sell these timber
rights, they must place fair valuation
on same, using as basis the pvices pre-
vailing for timber rights on lands other
than sixteenth section tracts.

WHY co TO COLLEGE?

We are often asked, should young
man or woman go to college? Nova
days the thing of going to college ol
not, is in the air. We hear it discussed
great deal and hear many arguments
both for and against college course
AS to the propriety OF it let it be said
that all depends on SO many circum-
stances that direct answer is impossi-
BILE. That every young man or woman
should go to college is just as nonsensi-
cal as that no one should go at all. Real
genius is independent of all conditions,
and hence some of the worlds greatest
men never entered a college door. Such
was the case of Abraham Lincoln. 1t
always seems to us that college educa-
ton would have spoiled him and crippled
his rare genius. But all such men
have training of some kind and equal
to a college education.
But on the other hand all other things
being equal, college education IS ne
cessarily of great value. Because a few
or even many college graduates are
'asses' is no argument against the col
lege. The college cannot change the
nature of men or women. Ii they go
into college as impracticables they will
as rule come out the same. A college
develops, but does not create. 1t is an
artificial one not supernatural one. The
question of going to college or not can
only be solved by knowing the man or
woman, the college and the circumstances
incident to the case. Here, as in all
cases, every tub must stand on its own
bottom. Individuality must be consulted.
Many persons will not take an education
any more than some coarse rough stones
will not take a polish. To attempt to
educate them is to throw away time and
money. 1t is to encourage false ambl-
tions and to breed disappointments. On
the contrary, supposing the possession
of a good mind and character there is
nothing that can add to its power OF use
fulness like college education Here
the mind is taught to work. The foun-
dation may be laid for all future growth
and development. A college education
of the right kind and in the care Of the
right person is capital invested and we'll
invested. 1t is not simply money in
vestment but also mind and heart in
vestment and brings pleasure and enjoy
ment to all the subsequent life. Hence
go to college if all possible.
