RIVER DISPUTE NEAR END.
Reclamation Men Expect Settlement

Reclamation Men Expect Settlement
of st. Mary's Controversy.
Reclamation service officials who
have reached Helena from a confer
ence in Alberta with Canadian officials
believe the long standing dispute over
the control of the waters of the ST.
Mary's river will soon be settled; IL
not the American government Will
probably construct a ditch TO keep
the waters entirely within American
territory. Both seek control because
of the great value Of the water il re-
claiming thousands upon thousands Of
acres of land.

FAILS TO SAVE MINERS LIFE.
Man Dies Soon After Companions Dig
Him Out.

Conscious for five hours while his
companions dug him from beneath a
huge pile of rock and timber, which
was slowly crushing him to death,
Baal Bannas died soon after being
taken from the Anaconda mine at
Butte.
Bannas was caught under a fall of
ground, being pinned down by the load
which rested on his limbs. The min
ers worked in desperate haste, and
Bannas, between groans, talked with
them as they struggled to save him.
Il know | am doomed, boys, and |
feel that this is my last shift. Good
by and thanks for the trouble you
took" were the words the unfortunate
man used when he knew that his end
was near.
Several other miners narrowly miss
ed death when the fall came.

ASKS TO BE SHOT,.
Thompson Insists That Spirits De-
mand His Death.

Ross Thompson, who shot young
Gullickson at Lake Norden a couple of
years ago, and who recently finished
a sentence in the state prison for his
crime, returned a few days ago to
Lake Norden, and insisted upon camp
ing on the Gullickson premises. He
insisted upon some one of the family
shooting him. He explained that he
shot young GullicksOn at the command
Of the spirits, and that now they had
commanded him to some back and be
shot himself. After terroriZing the
family for a couple of days the sheriff
was sent for, and the young man will
be sent to the insane asylum. 1t is
now thought that he was PROBABLY in
sane at the time of the shooting two
years ago, as there was no motive
discovered for the crime at that time.

a copy of the report by strategy, and
published a synopsis of it the day be-

Copenhagen is in the throes of seri-
Gus labor trouble. The difficulties be-
gan with a strike of the typographers'

interior, tried to put an end to the
troubles by proposing a committee OF
arbitration, and for a time il looked
as If he would succeed, but the typo
graphers got dissatfAded with the pro-
posed settlement and renewed the
strike. AS a consequence of the strike,
the daily newspapers of the city have
been unable to issue their regular edi-

been greatly annoyed.

but the hunting in this section will be
limited. The report from the farmers
n this and the adjoining counties is
that chickens are scarce, and the re-
port is verified by the hunters who
have been out to train their dogs.
Heavy rains in the early part of the
season, at a time when chickens were
Orooding, practically destroyed all the
young in floods. There are some old
birds in the wheat and corn fields, but
they are not accompanied by any of
their young. In the counties of Han

kcarcity Of chickens prevails.

 How's that for Kansas, erstwhile the State of long -whiskered populism and general ,liscontent? For year. Kansas politicians have considered that tine strongest card they could play in the popular game of corporation batting was to attack the railroads Almost every candidate for public office has adopted this plan of campaign as al easy route to the desired goal. and the less his personal qualifications the more he has fired the public heart by holding up the railroad corporation as an octopus, bent on dominating the politics of the state There may be some of this useful and inspiring work in the present session of the legisla- lature, but the fact that nobody has yet risen to propose it is highly sig nificant Kansas is now pretty well. and pretty well off, thank you. and she is quite different from what she was when she was insane and poor
