Furnishes Some Good
Advice on Trespassing

There seems to be q rampant
disregard Of the property rights O
those who own or rent real pro
perty. There are those who go upor
another's land and cut and carr,
away Nth them the timber, grass,
or whatever thereon they may fin
which meets with their wants. An,
some Of these same wrongdoers not
only refuse to make any restitution,
but openly avow that the otfense is
jnstifiable, This form Of trespas>
is becoming so common that il is
time action be taken against those
who are gully and that an example
10 made Of some one.
What shall be said Of a man VII,
will &C upon another's land and
deliberately cut and carry away the
green trees growing thereon? What
Of the man who will go upon the
lands Of another and cut anu remove
all Of the hay therefrom? DO these
persons know that they are not
only liable to a civil lawsuit for the
damage which they do, but that
they are liable under the penual
statutes as well and may be fined
and imprisoned?
Section $3.50 cf the Revised
Codes Of Montana provides among
other things as follows: Livery per-
son who willfully or maliciously
commits any trespass by either:-l.
Cutting down, destroying or in
iuring any kind Of wood or timber
standing Or growing upon the lands
Of another; or 2. Carrying away any
kind Of timber or wood lying on
such lands; or 3. Maliciously injur.
ing or severing from the freehold
Of another anything attached there
to or the produce thereof-is
guilty Of misdemeanor.'
There seems to be belief among
some that they have a right t.
DO these things upon the lands of
another, when those lands are not
enclosed or marked or when they
are not served with written notice
that the land belongs to another.
This is not true. Every man is
bound to know what land belong to
others before he tresspasses there
on.
Because there is no trespass law
against range stock, one must not
conclude that there is no trespass
law a5ainst the invasions Of man.
For stock not in herd to go over
another mans land and Craze the
grass therefrom is quite different

Dies From Injuries
Accidental Shooting is
Believed to be Cause
of Sheepherders death

Charlie Kuether, young sheep
herder only about sixteen years of
age, who was in the employ Of the
Wakefield Bros. on their ranch at
Trotters. was fourd in dying con-
lition in the shtep-wagon about
Shree miles from the above men
4ioned ranch on last Saturday even
ing about four o'clock aud before
nedical aid could be brought to
lis relief he pa a3sed away.
Just how the young man met
MS death is a mystery to all md
perhaps will remain so. Although
he Auppcsition is that the deed
vas accidentally done BY his own
aands and with his own gun-a -
caliber, Colts Spe :ial-which was
:ound on the hoor close by the body.
The boy was fist discovered by
a Mr.. Wheeler who was also in the
employ of Wakefield Bros. and
upon entering the sheep-wagon and
inding the boy al.-ost lifeless, he
inquired as to the eau Of the un-
,ortuna:te boys illness and the lat
ter replied that he had shot himself.
The young man feebly made
known that he wished drink Of
water. After Mr.. Wheeler had
,erved him with a glass Of water,
the young man was too weak to
iurther talk, and Mr.. Wheeler hur-
ried away for assistance. When
ne returned in company with
others the lai was dead.
Mr.. j. NJ. Wakefield with six of
the neighbors and employees made
a careful investigation of the ma
ture of the wounds, and everything
tending to throw any light on the
cause Of the accident. It was
found that there were two wounds,
one in the chest and the other in
the left leg. The bullet which
penetrated the ch st passed very
close to the heart. The ball which
entered the leg took a downward
course until striking the bone when
it apparently glanced outward.
AS Wibaux was the nearest and
most accessible point, the body
was brought here on Sunday, and
the parents and relatives Of the
deceased were Immediately notified.
Postmaster Hill Of New Salem, n.
D. an uncle of the lad, o.nd the
father arrived on No. 3 Monday
and took charge Of the body.
They departed ON No. 4 Tuesday
for New Salem where the body
will be inferred.

GINNING old For.

The Kennebec Journal tells a story Of a
cunning old mother foN's efforts TO save
her young from capture. Some hunters
discovered a den of foxes containing five
little ones about as large as well grown
cats. The mother fox escaped before the
hunters reached the den, which was lined
thickly with soft grasses and feathers In
stead Of running away she kept within sight
while the hunters worked with shovels. She
apparently understood what they were do
ing. for she endeavored by every means to
attract them away from their work and
herself. She approached quite near
and acted as II lame and distressed, She
would lie down on her side and wrlthe along
the ground, uttering whines and means.
Then she would limp off, going slowly and
hating frequently. The hunters were not
to be drawn away from the work in hand
by such tactics, and finally, after much
digging, came upon the den where the five
little fellows were shrinking. Maine hunters
say II is unusual for mother foxes to leave
all their young in one place, II is their
cunning habit 70 scatter the family In

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Sept. S~.-Governor
Charles N. Haskell, treasurer OF the demo-
cratic national committee, passed through
Kansas City at 40 this morning enroute
from his home at Guthrie to Chicago.
where he goes to confer with William j.
Bryan and the leaders Of the democratic
national campaign regarding the charges
recently made against the governor by
President Roosevelt and william r. Hearst.
Governor Haskell. during the brief stop
in Kansas city between trains, talked
freely with a newspaper representative.
He repeated many Of the statements made
yesterday at Guthrie in his open letter is
sued to the Associated Press. In which he
took Mr.. Hearst to task, but declined 20 re-
ply at this time 20 the additional ACCUSE
lions put out in Now York last night by
Mr.. Hearst. In his statement last night,
Mr.. Hearst said:
mt. Haskell IL not only q Standard OIL
tool and a crooked railroad promoter, but
a steel trust organism"
Governor Haskell made reply to the score
tary Of the interior, Mr.. Garfield. in the
controversy touching the operations Of the
Pacific Oil and Gas company Of Oklahoma
HaykeII Will NOT HesiEn.
Governor Haskell denied that he intended
to resign his position as treasurer Of the
democratic national committee.
Regarding Mr.. Hearst's charge coupling
him with the Steel trust, Haskell said he
felt highly honored at being classed with
Schwab. Carnegie and J. P. Morgan. He
denied that he had been in New York City
in 1898 at a gold democratic meeting in
Madison Square Garden and applauded at
tacks upon Mr.. Bryan
He declared that President Roosevelt lis
the biggest four-flusher in the political
business today" and added:
You ought to hear what they think Of
the rascal down in Oklahoma"
Governor Haskell remained in Kansas
city one hour. He was accompanied by
James Menefee, state treasurer Of Okla
homa. Soon after his arrival here, the
governor went to the telegraph office in
the station. There he was handed two tele-
grams awaiting him from Chicago. He
declined to make known the contents Of the
messages and after writing a couple Of tele-
grams, left the office and walked out
through the station.
Governor Haskell was handed a copy Of
a morning paper and he hurriedly glanced
through its pages. He read only the
head lines. He was asked to make a de-
finite statement in regard to some OF the
accusations against him that the paper
contained. mo. not until I have read
them carefully said the governor. 1T
would be pretty uncertain work for me to
undertake that task in these few min
utes. But 1 have a statement that I pre-
pared yesterday. It's a general reply to
Hearst and I think that will hold the
New York editor for a time at least"

Merely Press Roaring.
The statement referred TO was that is
sued by the governor at Guthrie yester
day through the Associated Press.
Governor Haskell was asked about the
report that he intended resigning as treas
urer of the national committee.
Absolutely nothing to It," was the gov.
errors reply. "Of course. I'll admit thai
the recent developments have necessitatec
a little haste in my going to Chicago. but
resignation is out of the question. It's
simply the republican press that Is roar,
ing, and well they might, when they hold

House about me-"
CHANGING over the morning paper, the
governor turned to Menefee and remarked.
well, I'll be kept pretty busy all morning
in simply reading what the gang has to
say about me. So Brother Hearst has cut
loose again." he added, as he hastily noted
the accusation that Mr.. Hearst made last
night in New York.

In this room Margaret Hartley,

roses fell in a shower upon them.
After congratulations pleasing
program was given on the wide
veranda, which had been made
comfortable by easy chairs, rugs,
etc. The program consisted Of
songs, ballads, and readings, the
central idea being the sentiment
of long ago.
A pleasing feature of the even

Grace, youngest daughter, of the
