A DANGEROUS BUSINESS.

The recent murder of the Yellow
stone county sheriff by q desperate
outlaw whom he had arrested, Is an
other instance OF the risks incurred in
the business of hunting criminals.
There is q long list of such tragedies
in all parts Of the country, many Of
them resulting from the carelessness
of officers who failed to recognize the
fact that a criminal is q dangerous
man. To extend courtesies or privil.
eyes to such characters frequently at.
fords them an opportunity to add to
their criminal record, as was the case
In the recent tragedy on the Mussel.

In referring to the murder of the
Yellowstone county sheriff, the Butte
Inter- Moutain recalls several similar
unfortunate incidents in Montana.
Going back about fifteen years may
be mentioned the murder of Deputy
Sheriff RAIDER, of Meagher county, in
the once active silver camp of Castle.
Bill Gay, long since departed, and
his desperate kinsman, Gross, shot
the fearless RAIDER while that officer
was trying to arrest them. The Incl
dents that followed the killing OF
RAIDER form one of the most Interests

LEGISLATION is URGED.

In a special message to congress,
the president calls the attention Of
our national law makers to several
important matters upon which legis.
lation was recommended in December,
but which appear to have been neg.

few weeks, and the president suggests
that its duty to the country requires
prompt aud effective legislation along
the lines recommended.
Among the subjects discussed in the
message are tariff revision and water
way improvement, which are of special
interest to many residents Of northern
Montana, and t. which the following
reference is made:
The time has come when We should
prepare for q revision of the tariff

Says the Use Of His Name for
Governorship Was Decid-
eddy Unauthorized.
JOHN C. CUTLER IS THE MAN.
Says That He Believes Present Gov
ernor win Succeed Himself as
Chief Executive of Utah.
Especial to the 'cNews.")

Provo, May 26.--Col. C. f. Loose, who
returned from trip to Nephl last
evening denounced the publication In
two Salt Lake morning papers of the
announcement of his candidacy for the
goVernorship on the Republican ticket.
To the representative of the Deseret
News he most emphatically denied that
he at any time authorized the use of
his name in connection with geburna-
torial aspirations.
In any case. he affirmed that the
present time was too soon to even sug.
gest the possibility of him becoming a
candidate. Throughout the interview
Col. Loose was non-committal and
spoke very highly of the present gov
ernor, John c. Cutler, and he expressed
himself that he thought that Mr.. Cut
Ter would be the man who would re-
ceive the nomination of governor for
Utah az far as he was concerned.
Col. Loose reiterated the statement
that the use of his name as candi-
date was unauthorized and did not
meet with his approval in any sense
of the word.

But for the prompt and fearless ac-

The man had handkerchief tied
around his neck in such n manner that
1t could easily have been pulled up
over the lower part of his face and
thus serve as mask. The man acted
in most suspicious manner and was
IN the act of entering the buffet when
Berger started for him. AT the same
time. Howard entered from the street.
AS he opened the door, a pal of the in
truder, standing across the street,
whistled to the man inside. Berger or
