Senator Truscott, Of Valley.

The pen pictures of members of the
tenth legislative assembly presented
by the Butte Inter- Mountain, include
the following:
Senator j. L. Truscott, of Valley
county, is one of the foremost demo.
Gratis in the tenth legislature. Sena.
tor Truscott is also one of the most
Industrious members in the upper
house. He is what might be called an
early bird. No matter what time you
may arrive at the senate chamber, you
will find the democratic member at his
desk. He Is up betimes and working,
and he has already earned a reputa.
ton at the capitol for his %punctuality
in the morning and the thrift with
which he uses his time in the legisla-
tive halls.
Senator Truscott is one of the big
merchants and stockMen of Glasgow,
Mont, where he has a large business
establishment. He is also an extensive
landowner. His interests are closely
associated with the stock industry,
and he will take a leading part in the
legislation connected with that. He
has already introduced a measure re
lating to the shipping of cattle, and
he probably will offer some other bills
before the session is over calculated
to benefit the Montana cattle raiser.
He is on the stockgrowing and graz,
ing committee and other important
committees, and he will probably
prove of service on all of them. He
is a handsome, clean.cut gentleman of
middle height, with hair and mustache
that are turning grey, and is a fine
type of the quiet.spoken, clear-headed,
far sighted business man.. His desk
is in tbs front row at the left of the
presiding officers desk, and he is there
a great deal of the time, engaged in
his own work during the time the SEN
ate is not in session or discussing cur-
rent bills with his fellow members.
When the senate is in action he is al.
ways on hand, and interested in every.
thing that transpires.

BARNES DOWNS
 DUMONT TWICE
Springfield Wrestler Successfully Defends Middleweight
 Title. -.-

Northampton, Dec 17.-Jim Barnes of Springfield met Gus Du- mont of Philadelphia in catch-as- catch-can wrestling match for the middleweight title in Lyman hall last evening, and threw Dumont twice out of three times, thus retaining the championship. It was a splendid struggle from start to finish, as the two men were evenly matched. Barnes had the superior strength, but Dumont was more aggressive and rather the more tricky of the two. Barnes showed greater endurance and seemed to have the power of saving himself, while Dumont was at work every minute.
 Before starting the two men were weighed in and neither of them tipped the scales at 155 pounds. Du- mont won the first fall in 25 min utes, using halI-Nelson and crotch hold. Barnes won the second fall n 12 minutes and it was evident at the beginning of this bout that he had determined to win, for he became the aggressor and Dumont had to take the defensive. He successfully used a crotch and three-quarters hold. Barnes won the final fall with half-Nelson and half-scissors hold. Phil Gleason was referee and l.. B. Baketel timer.
