Auto Accident Near Sunset Lake.

j. n. Betterley accompanied by G. ID.
Hosley of Springfield, Mass, narrowly es-
capped serious accident Sunday afternoon
while driving from Sunset Lake. They
were met by a large touring car owned
and run by j. B. Manley who was taking
his family to the lake, when the horse be-
came frightened and began to run back.
The road is narrow at the scene of the
accident, which is few rods from the
main road, and while Mr.. Betterley was
trying to gain control of the animal the
bit broke which frightened him still more
and he overturned the wagon, throwing
the OCCUPANTS out; Mr.. Betterley's face
was badly bruised, but no bones were
broken Mr.. Hosley escaped unhurt ex-
cept for a slight shaking up. The horse
ran for some distance, and the wagon was
badly smashed up. Mr. Betterley was able
to go on unassisted, and found his horse
feeding beside the road about mile from
his home The animal had not heretofore
manifested any fear of automobiles, and
doubtless would not at that time had it
been in a wide road As Mr.. Manley saw
the team approaching, he reversed his
machine and the noise startled the animal.

SUBSTANTIAL BOOSTERS HERE

The man who builds well leaves, in
the structures which ne rears, lasting
monuments to the excellent quality of
his boosting. Those who attended the
formal opening of the Savoy hotel last
night noted the excellent quality of the
work that had been performed in the
construction of the handsome building
which is the home of the hotel. That
building is one of the monuments
which Olson & Johnson have reared in
MiSsoula as evidence of their sub
stantial character of their boosting
qualities. Men who build as they have
are the sort of boosters that make
cities out of toWns and do much to-
ward the permanent development of a
country. And the work which this
firm has contributed to the substan-
tial progress of this ctr has entitled
its members to life positions upon the
roll of boosters. The Savoy is not the
only structure they have reared in the
city; the firm came from Wallace to
Missoula to build the library building
at the state university; the character
of the work which they did there is
lasting testimonial to their thorough
which these men have done since COM
ing to Missoula is the remodeling of
the Deschamps building on West Main
street. At present they are engaged
in the construction of the Johnson &
Lunden building. the Evans and
Freisheimer buildings and the Peppard
flats on the south side. In Wallace
the firm prepares plans and does arch
itectural work; in Missoula, as it is
in the contracting field, the firm has
done none of this work, The plans
for the interior of the Savoy hotel,
however, were prepared in the Wal
lace office of the firm. The handsome
finish of the rooms and the excellent
arrangement Of the apartments and
public rooms of the Savoy have at
tEacted much attention. A carpenter

Paris, July S.-Advocates of the GUS
toms commissions bill rallied in the
chamber of deputies today and as
sailed those who favored referring the
bill back to the government, as trait
ors to French industry.

text of his motion SO as to invite the
government TO open diplomatic ne
gotiatons with other countries for the
equitable adjustment of tariff differ
ences and in the meantime postpone
consideration of the articles OF the

merce, announced that the govern

as were deemed useful. but would not
consider itself bound by the action OF
the chamber. The first portion of
Deputy Chaumet's motion was adopt
ed but the second part, that of the
postponement of the consideration of
the bill. was defeated by vote OF
144 to 425.

sion of which caused a serious dis
turbance in the chamber of deputies
last night was postponed today at the
request of the Italian Llyod Steamship

planned the accusation bv saying that
he did not allude to the personal hon
esty of the minister. but to his politi-
cal honesty. This explanation did not
satisfy Eignor Schanzer and this af-
ternoon he sent Admiral Mirabello. the
minister of marine. to General Spills
gardi the minister of war, with a
challenge to Deputy Gallant.

ate made $40 amendments to the house
provisions. many of which were added
today. Consequently the enrolling
clerks are finding the preparation of
the bill for the house an arduous task.
They have been following as closely
upon the heels of the senate as was
possible and have the work we'll in
hand, but say that they will probably
not be able to, complete their labors
before late tomorrow
There will be no delay in sending
the tariff bill to conference after it
reaches the house. 1t is expected that
the bill will be sent to that body by
the senate late tomorrow The house
will meet daily now until the end of
the session. AS soon as the bill is
received, Mr. Dalzell is expected to
offer resolution by which the house
will disagree to the senate amend
ments en- bloc and agree to confer
enee. If there is any disposition to
debate the resolution, Representative
Payne of New York, will probably
move the previous question on the
resolution thereby putting off discus
sion.

Judge Lawlor, District Attorney O'Gara
and William Otis, one of Francis j.

fidavits today, denying the allegations.
Calhoun's attorneys asked more time

was denied. Barrett then asked the
court to allow any other judge in the
state to determine the issue of the
fitness of Judge LaWlor to sit in the
case He said that the filing of the
affidavit by Judge LaWlor precluded
tho possibility of his dealing fairly with
the motion.

San Francisco, July S.-With over
$500 miles of road behind him and
1876 still to go to end his tramp, Ed
ward Payson Weston, the veteran
walker is striding through the passes
that cut the rugged summit of the
Sierra Nevada mountains, with the

the Pacific ocean, surmounted.
Weston is four days behind his 100

from New York, whence he started at

birthday, March 15 His physical
condition is said to be better today
than it was when he began the long
trip and he Is making up instead of
losing time as the journey nears it's
end.
J. c. Schinkel Weston's manager
arrived here tonight to prepare for
the pedestrians reception. He says
that the hailstorms of Kansas and
Colorado held the stouthearted old man
back. but that the worst delays were
encountered in Wyoming, where the
Windstorms and distances that must
be traversed before food and shelter
could be obtained caused him to lose
several days.
Through Nevada's wide reaches of
sun clustered deserts, Weston made
better time than he had hoped to ac-
complish and he is finishing the trip
slightly castdoWn because he has failed
to cover the distance Within 100 days.
He is vigorous and energetic, how
