ing Public Domain.
Representative Robert Brownlee of
Sweet Grass county, who was indicted
at recent session of the federal grand
jury in Helena on the charge Of hav-
ing Illegally fenced the public domain,
has been sentenced to pay fine of
$500 and serve twelve hours in the
Lewis and Clark county jail.
The action Of Brownlee came as a
surprise, for he appeared before the
court unexpectedly. With his attor.
ney he called upon Judge w. H. Hunt
and announced that he would with
draw his plea of not guilty, entered
when he was arraigned shortly after
Indictment, and admitted himself
guilty as charged. Judge Hunt then
imposed sentence as indicated.
Brownlee has maintained that he
made the openings reuired for the
passage Of live stock upon any part
Of the free range, and that in reality
the fences were on his own premises.
Like the state senator from that
county, however, he concluded it the
cheapest way out, and pleaded guilty.

to Supply Fuel.
The common carriers, especially the
Northern Pacific, and the state board
of railroad commissioners are making
strenuous efforts to clarity the coal
situation. In order to give the rail.
roads an opportunity to clear up the
Montana divisions, where iDvestiga-
ton showed there were hundreds OF
cars on the sidings awaiting shipment
to Montana. Washington and Oregon
points, no more coal cars are being
furnished the mining camps for the
present, and every mine in Barbon
county has been closed down. West
Of jamestown, N. D., no freight is
being moved except live stock and
per:shable goods.
The hope is entertained that in
this manner the tracks may be cleared,
when cars again will be furnished to
the producers
There seems less danger of a cool
famine this winted because of the fact
that every person who can secure the
fuel is puttiag in a winters supply.
This causes the unprecedented early
demand.

CONTEMPT ACTION
AGAINST YOUNG
ATTORNEY GENERAL MUST SHOW
CAUSE WHY HE SHOULD NOT
BE PUNISHED.
HIS CHALLENGE is ACCEPTED
SUPREME COURT WILL BE ASK
ED TO DECIDE QUESTION OF
JURISDICTION.

st. Paul, Oct. 12.-Attorney General
Edward r. Young's challenge has
been accepted. Contempt proceedings
have been instituted against him for
violating Judge Lochren's Injunction
in the rate cases, and Mr.. Youngs
plan to secure an early decision of the
supreme court on the question of the
jurisdiction of the court to issue the
injunction is in operation.
The proceeding is in the form of an
order to show why he should not be
punished for contempt 1t is based on
Mr.. Young's action in commencing a
suit against the Northern Pacific road
for the enforcement Of the legislative
commodity rates, in direct violation
of Judge Lochren's injunction issued
on Sept. %.
Young Not Arrested.
The attorney general has not been
any way. He will simply have to ap-
pear before Judge Lochren on Oct. FL
to show cause why he shall not be
punished for contempt in violating
1.-The injunction. He will have to admit
the violation of the injunction and the
court will then probably impose fine
with directions that Mr. Young be
kept nthee custody of the marshal
until the fine is paid.
The attorney general will then be
able to apply to the United States SUI.
preme court for writ of habeas cor
pus In this proceeding the point will
be raised that by making the attorney
general defendant in the rate, cases
the suits are in fact brought against
the state, and hence are in violation
of the federal constitution provision
which exempts states from liability to
suits.
Attorney Generals Contention.
For this reason the attorney general
will contend THE court had no juris.
diction to issue the injunction against
him, and if the supreme court sus
tains his position on this point the
suits will be dismissed as to the at
torney general and the contempt pro-
ceedings will fail, as the action com
planned of would be the violation of
void injunction.

numerous Montana and Washington
investors have been mulcted to the

ing the loss.
Ground Is Va|ueless.
The discovery that the property was
sailed was due to an independent ex-
animation conducted by Speaker r.
w. King of the Montana legislature
and j. R. Neill of Spokane, heavy
prospective investors, who conducted
independent inspections and found,
after removing few inches of the
shaft walls that the ground was val

Sweden for men out Of employment or
get advantageous change Of employ
ment for those already occupied, who

posed by the society that the govern

vent the young men from leaving be-
fore they have served the requisite

that this is mistake, as. one reason
why SO many young men are leaving
is to escape military service, and it
would seem best for the government
to ease up on this military business.

NOTED SCOUT
VIII Guide President Roosevelt
Through the Cane Brakes Of
Louisiana on u Hunt.

e. New Orleans, La, Stpt. 2O.-John
M. Parker, who will be one of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's $ hosts during his
campaign and hunting expedition in
Southern Louisiana next month, ar
rived here today from mississippi.
Holt Collier, famous Confederate
Negro scout, freedman and hunter,
will act as guide for the Presidents
party. Collier Is. noted especially as
a. bear hunter and was in charge of
President Roosevelt's hunting party
In Mississippi few years ago.
Although the itinerary Of the expe-
dition Is not arranged, it is known
that the President will be offered
opportunities to hunt in louisiana
canebrakes, where, so far as known,
no human being has ever made per-
manent habitation, and where the
sport, In some respects, is quite out
Of the ordinary. The cane grows to
height Of 10 to Is feet, and at this
time Of year Is blown into long wind
rows, leaving open alley between. It
Is necessary to cut trails across these
rows for the passage Of the dogs.
The hunting will probably de done
entirely on horseback. In order to
proceed quickly through the thickets
each huntsman will carry a double
edged knife with straight blade
nearly foot long and heavy enough
to chop passage through obstruct-
ing growths. Trailing vines are the
principal obstacle for which the
knives are used.
In addition to bear and boar, a few
panthers and occasionally wolves are
shot In the canebrakes.
