According to an opinion handed down
by Judge Robert S. Frazer of Pittsburg,
Pa, township authorities have no right
to deprive licensed motor cars or auto
mobiles of the privilege of being run
along any legally opened public high
ways. This decision was caused through
a suit entered by Thomas Walker
against the commonwealth. The town
ship authorities passed an ordinance re
straining motor cars from being run
along the Little Sewickley road.

BOOSTING--FISHING ON THE SIDE

Charlie Lemley has been boosting
for Mssoula so long that it seems as
if it were always; he has his special
ty in booming as in other matters
and when he booms best he booms
the fishing in the streams of western
Montana: he speaks a good word for
the city whenever he thinks it will
do some good and that is pretty often,
and he boosts like a good fellow for
the country round about. But it is
when he gets turned around and
headed for trout stream that the
world looks especially bright to him;
there isn't stream in this mart of
the state that he doesn't know all
about and, if he thinks you are really
a good fellow. there are some of them
that ne Will tell you about. He has
good business and he attends to it
Well or else he could not go fishing,
for there has to be an income to
maintain q fishing reputation and do
1t right. In his business Mr. Lemley
is q neal. neighbor Of The Mssoulian
and 1T has been easy to get Il line on
him as booster. He is there with
the right sort of boosting and he
knows how to do it right. He doesn't
get off on a false scent and his work
in that line is clean-cut The first
essential of booster is to be a good
citizen and Mr.. I4emley is, assured
jy, that No man can be a truly good
fisherman and not qualify for good
citizenship at the first tryout Mr.. !
Lemley also shoots some: when the
first snowfall covers the mountains to
good depth and it is easy to track /
a deer, he always gets hungry for
venison-and goes out and gets some.
When he has what he wants, he
comes back home; and so he does in
fishing; he is no game-hog; he gets
what he needs and leaves some for
the other fellow. When he gets home
he returns to his shop on West Main |
street and industriously looks after
the making of fine clothes for his
customers. He keeps this up until the |
sun shines just right for the trout to
bite right-then he goes fishing {

BONDS OF GAMBLERS
MYSTER|OUSLY
DISAPPEAR
ATTORNEY FOR EIGHTEEN MEN
ACCUSED OF VIOLATING LAW
ENTERS PLEA OF GUILTY..
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Butte, May 24.--Eighteen men
pleading guilty upon one information
IS the record of today of Judge Dom
lan's court. All of the men had been
been battered down in order to effect
an entrance to the Mountain View sa-
loon. The gamblers had laughed at
the prospect of being prosecuted, and
when q change of administration was
made the bonds which had been put
up to insure the appearance of the
men mysteriously disappeared, and the
majority of the men dropped out of
sight as we'll. When the trial started
this morning the alleged gamblers
laughed at the prospect of conviction.
Judge Donlan allowed the information
to be amended to read that game of
chance for money or chips with cards
was being played. The gamblers grew
serious. When former Sheriff Hen
derson and his deputies took the stand
and testified they became alarmed and
at the afternoon session their attor-
ney "threW up the sponge" and en-
tered pleas of guilty for all Of the
men.
The two present waived all formal
tiles and took their fine of 500 each,
Which was paid. Later another man
came and settled by placing five $40
gold pieces in the hands of the clerk
of the court. Three other men are
known to be in town, and they will be
arrested at once on hpnah ,w.,rronfs
The location of others is known, and
they will be brought back and com
pelled to meet the judgment which
has been imposed upon them,
or serve it out in Jail. Gambling cases
will occupy the attention of the court
throughout the remainder of the week

derer OF little Annie Poltera was made
known today when the detectives and
surgeons who made a minute exam
ination of her body, anounceds that
the two mysterious marks on the

We're made by the teeth of her slay-
er. Impressions We're taken of these
marks and are said to show such in

printed on circulars and sent broad
cast throughout the country. 1t is
asserted that there is no doubt that

titude OF Senator Dolliver, who here
tofore had stood with the progress
sivsts' throughout the fight He took
positive position against the radi-
cal demand for free lumber Senator
Root opened the proceedings with
an argument for a differential on
dressed lumber. Senator Borah con-
tended for the highest duty on lum-
ber and Mr.. Borah argued that the
policy of protection was system
and could not be maintained IL there
were to be constant exceptions to it
as was desired in the case of lum-
ber.
Senators Clapp and Burkett argued
that l,amber could be produced as
cheaply in the United States as in
Canada and contended that the lum-
Der industry of this country would
not be endangered by the free adms-
sion of the Canadian product Sena-
tor Hepburn spoke of the republican
platform in way that brought down
some criticism on his head and Sem

Special to The Daily MiSS0ulian.
Manhattan, Mont, May 24.-At 2
O'Clock Monday morning "yeggmen"
entered the local postoffice, blowing
the safe and making their escape with
nearly $500 in money and stamps. A
heavy rain prevailed at the time ac-
companied by flashes of lightning and
peals of thunder, which practically
drowned the noise made by the explo
sion of the charge of nitro -glycerine
which was sufficiently heavy to drive
the door of the safe through a win
dow 10 feet distant. Every window
in the building was shattered and the
interior of the office completely
wrecked. In addition to the money
and stamps the thieves made way
with 900 blank money orders num-
bered from 11,s0l to 1900 and 12,O01
to 12301.
AS far as can be learned but two
men We're concerned in the job, which
bears all the earmarks of "yegg"
started toward the east Immediately
after the explosion Deputy Sheriff
Kellogg is in pursuit Of the burglars
and has notified all towns to be on
the lookout. No accurate description
can be given of the robbers owing to
the extreme darkness of the night.
The only person who got a glimpse
of them was the night operator at the
Northern Pacific depot, who started
out to investigate the unusual sound
made by the crash of the explosion
but was driven back into his office
by one Of the two, at the point of
gun, who kept Il guard on the depot
until the work of destruction had
been completed.

DETECTIVE ON THE STAND
Gibson Is Examined as to His Part
in the investigation of the ExpIo-
sion at the Home of Former Super
visor Gallagher in Observation-Disclosures
Denies Many Charges. ....

San Francisco, May 24.-Francs j.
Heney, prosecutor in the trial of Pat
rick Calhoun, president of the United
railroads, went into the camp of the
defense for several of his witnesses
today, ana in consequence the pro-
ceedings were embittcred by strife be-
tween counsel and continual skir-
muishes between Mr.. Heney and the
reluctant and hostile subjects Of in
terrogation. From the manner in
which the case was conducted today
it appeared that the state was ap-
preaching the end OF it's long roll of
witnesses, and hopes We're expressed
that another fortnight would end the
trial, which entered today upon It's
goth week. This afternoons session,
which produced virtually all of the
important testimony of the day, was
devoted to examination of Thomas B.
Gibson, a detective in the employ OF
the United railroads; George r. Fran
els, secretary of the company's legal
department, and Luther Brown, a Los
Angeles attorney who has been active
in behalf of the defense.
Mr.. Heney asked Gibson to explain
his part in the investigation Of the
dynamite explosion which wrecked the
Oakland home of James T.. Gallagher,
one of the important witnesses for
the prosecution, and. imperilled the
lives of Gallagher and seven other in
mates of the house. Mr.. Heney's
questions carried many charges that
Gibson denied, but the witness admit

assistant to Mr.. Calhoun When asked
what he had discovered, Gibson said:

arrested and held in Oakland for a
couple of weeks, and that one Of these
men had bought 10 pounds of dyna-

What report of the matter did you
make to William M Abbott"' asked
Mr.. Heney.
II told him that I thought Burns
and Wilhelm had a hand in it. and
that the explosion was brought about
to create a feeling against Mr. CAL
houn in his trial. said the witness.
Did you think Burns wanted to
kill Gallagher?' asked the prose-
cutor.
II did not" replied Gibson. IT
had reasons to believe that the peo-
pie who lived in the house were all in
the back yard by arrangement when
the explosion occurred.'' -
Mr. Heney then asked Gibson if he
had not attempted to interfere with
Burns when the latter return from
the east and attempted an investiga-
tion of the dynamitng The defense
interposed an objection and Mr.. |
Heney charged that an attempt was
made to silence Gallagher by assas-

the United railroads were instru-
mental in the effort to suppress evil
