submitted to Montana voters this fall

the recent legislature. The limit within
which such petitions could be filed
with the secretary of state has expired

ceived, and therefore none of the pro.
posed laws in whose behalf petitions
have been circulated throughout the
state, can be submitted, and if they
become laws, it must be at the hands
of the legislature to be elected this
fall.
To have the measures submitted
1921 signatures were necessary. On
the proposition for voters to express
their choice of candidates for senator,
a total of 2,432 names were secured.
The act to legalize unions and ex-
empt unions and memb ers from dam
ages arising from the prosecution of
any strike or lockout was signed by
only 1904 persons. The act regulat.
ing the liabilities of employees around
mills and mines was signed by 1883
persons.

BENTON HARDWARE COMPANY

Of Crees ia Montana, Governor Nor
ris has entered into correspondence
with the Canadian commissioners OF
Indian affairs in the hope of having
Canada renew an offer it made to the
Crees some time ago OF lands across
the line. Many OF the Indians would
now accept the offer of the Canadian
government, which they refused some
time ago, though Little Bear, the
chief, is averse to going to Canada.
Governor Norris said today, refer.
ring to the condition Of the Crees:
"They are literally starving, and we
will have to send them to the peniten-
tiary or poorhouses unless something
is done. They cannot be tolerated to
roam the state at will, as at present,
and It is natural that they will steal,
when forced by hunger, when oppor'
tunity offers"

Land Dispute Ends In MMrder.

A dispatch from Culbertson to the
Great Falls Tribune gives news of a
double tragedy in eastern Valley
county, the result Of a dispute over
ranch property. The dispatch is dated
July 8, and Gays:
This morning about l o'clock oc-
Cured q tragedy which startled the
whole community. John A. Hayes
and his daughter, about le yesrs old,
were shot and killed by q mob who
had gathered to drive Hayes and his
family from q claim that be has
squatted on this spring and which
was claimed by Walter Long, a young
man who lived 10 the community.
Yesterday Hayes was in town and
said t&at he had been givec "a hours
to leave the claim, but believed that it
was only a bluff and that he was GO
ing back and begin haying.
Whether or not be believed it to be
a bluff he nevertheless got several of
his neigabors to come and stay with
him during the night. From what can
be learned a number of persons, prob
ably Is or 20, armed to the teeth and
carrying with them a Gao OF kerosene,
went to Hayes place and a regular
pitched battle took place. Hayes was
shot on the outside of his house
and his daughter, who was in the
house, rae to his assistance and was
also shot, hut lived about an hour.
One of the defending force was
slightly wounded by a ball which first
passed through a board in the stable
where he had taken refuge. 1t is not
known at this time whether any of
the attacking party we're killed or
wounded, as no traces of blood we're
left behind them.
The accounts of the affair at this
tine are meager as no coroner's in-
quest has yet been held, the
will arrive today and investigation
will be made. The deceased leaves q
wife and three children to survive
him.

lan's Fork and Centerville he stopped
the car TO make some unimpOrtant ad-
jIstments. When he was ready to
proceed on the way to Richmond he
asked Mr.. Conner to crank up the
engine.
After Mr.. Conner had turned the
crank once or twice there was an eX-
plosion in the cylinder. followed at
once by another explosion in the car
burator. This ignited the waste gas
oline in the pan and instantly a sheet
of flame shot up. SO fierce was the
fire Mr.. McConaha states. that he was
unable to put his hand under the car to
shut off the tank. AS soon as this ig-
nited he realized that his car was
doomed and he and the other occu-
pants of the big machine were forced
to stand on the roadway and watch it
burn to a crisp. An automobile sent
out from the Auto Inn brought the
stranded motorists back to Richmond.

speaking of the customs he stated that
instead of shaking hands as they do
here in this country, the people in his

engagements for the marriage of their
children but now this custom is dying
out and the young people make their

their parents This is being done only
