Murder Mystery Near Belt.

A Cascade county murder mystery
is reported by the Great Falls Trib-
une, ia which the name of the victim
10 given as Peter Pasdale, a rancher
living about twelve miles north of
Belt. 1t is believed there is a mistake
in the name, and that Peter Tasdale,
who has frequently visited here and
is we'll known in this vicinity, is the
man who vas murdered. The dead
body of the victim was discovered
Wednesday by w. Hoffman, a neigh.
boring rancher, who at n c reported
to the authorities at Belt.
The body was seated in an upright
position in a bedroom on the second
floor of the house. Immediately be.
hind the chair in which the corpse sa,
was a window through which had sped
the shot that took Tasdale's life.
There is some doubt concerning where
the fatal shot was fred from. the mos
plausible theory being that the MAI
who fred it stood on a bank, between
POO and 300 feet from the house, from
which he could have easily looked
into the window and seen Tasdale.
Tasdale is said to have been a hard
working, even.tempered man. will

disposition. II is reported that h,

Can Collect Mileage.

HELENA, Jan. l4.-An opinion con-
corning the regulations and privileges
of county sheriffs was given by Attor.
ney General Gaien in response TO an
inquiry from O. c. Gosman, chairman
of the board of county commissioners
of Beaverhead county.
Relative to the question Of allowing
mileage to sheritfs who have free
transportation, Mr.. Galen says tina,
mileage can o. collected by the sheriff
in all cases where it is allowed him
by law, despite the fact tina, he holds
free transportation. The mileage is
allowed ia lieu Of the expenses. But
in a case where a sheriff delivers a
person to Il p~eniteutiarv. reform
school or insane asylum, aud is en-
titled to only actual railroad eXpen-
se-, he cannot collect railroad fare if
he holds d pass.
Regarding the number OF deputies
Mr.. Galen rules that counties of the
sixth cl ass are not entitled to more
than one undersheriff and not I eX-
coed one general deputy and one
deputy who shall act as %Jailor, unless
the board of commissioners determines
that a greater number of deputies is
needed for the faithful aud prompt
discharge of the duties and make an
order on their minutes TO that effect.
Conversely, the board may reduce the
number of deputies prescribed by the
Law. Therefore only such deputies al
are authorized by the board can be
placed on the payroll and receive
warrants for their salary.
