MONTANA GETS MANY LAWS.
Direct Primary Bill Fails TO Pass
LEGISLATURE

Helena, Mont, March 9.-The 18th
Legislative assembly adjourned sine
die early Friday morning. During
the session there were 4O4 bills intro
duced in the house and 1872 in the SEN
ate, and of these upward of 200 will
probably become laws. In a majority
o: these appropriations are the under
lying features, there having been in
mt merable deficiencies, bounty
claims and the like.
In great contrast to the session OF
two years ago, there was little rail-
read legislation. A fellow-servant
measure was defeated, as was one
which would greatly enlarge the pow
ers of the railroad commission, al
though still another gave it on in
creased scope respecting minor de-
tails.

 All this time Senator Carmack had the shoot you?'
 ''I do not know what he was doing when he got behind the post. The move- ment was very rapid" What prevented his firing any time ?''
 God knows, l don't. There was noth- ing to prevent me from firing, too, as had my gun out. He was getting behind the posts and 1 didn't realize that they were a breastworks.'
 What next?' Robin jumped in. I saw Carmack s pistol between the posts and then the shots came"

 The defense objected and was sus- tained.
