Montanans Refuse to Be-
Ieve DR.. Cooks Story.
Resolutions Of Faith in ve-
racity Of BarriI| and PRINT.
BarrlII Tells How His Story Can
Easily Be Proven.

Hamilton, Mont, Oct. 29.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook went to bed early this
morning after refusing to discuss, at
that time, the hostile resolution adopt
ed about midnight by the meeting ne
had addressed. This resolution ex-
pressed confidence in the story of Bar
that Cook did not climb Mount Nc
Kinley
Attorney Crutchfield, attorney for
the guides, questioned Cook after his
address and then the excitement broke
forth. Crutchfield challenged Cooks
statements. This brought on a dis
turbance. the fellow townsmen of the
guides taking sides.
A member of the audience offered q
resolution at this point. asking that
the meeting declare a lack of faith on
the part Of the entire people of Mon
tana in all matters about which DR..
Cook made claims.
Attorney Roland White of San
Francisco. who was in the audience,
rose and as citizen made a plea FOR
fair play.
Senator Joseph M. Dickinson Of
Montana also took the floor and urged
that fair play be accorded all parties
t. the controversy Neither those who
were opposed to DR.. Cook nor his
friends would accept the Durston reso-
luton and it was withdrawn by it's
author.
Edward n. Barrill. the guide who
accompanied DR.. Cook up Mount Nc
Kinley. was called on. and taking the
platform, declared that Dr. Cooks
statements that they reached the top
OF Mount Mckinley We're incorrect.
DR. Cook replied by asserting to Bar
rilfs face that the latters statements
were false.
The excitement at this point was
intense. Barrill demanded to know
why Cook did not make an affidavit to
the effect that he had scaled Mount
Mckinley.
The challenge had no sooner been
issued than it was accepted by the
doctor and an affidavit was made by
the explorer on the platform in the
presence Of the audience In it DR..
Cook declared that he assembled Mount
Mckinley. that Barrill was with him
al the time and that the records of his

Series OF Practical Talks.
There is to be something doing for
boys just about all the time, to judge
by the announcements that are being
put out by the Y. M. G. A. The latest
thing is a series Of practical talks
for boys, which are to be given on
Wednesday afternoons, after school,
beginning next Wednesday. The list
OF subjects and speakers is as fol
lows:

Know" by County Superintendent 5.
J. Ferguson.

about half an hour.
Things n Boy Ought to Know.
A little later, two other series oi
talks will be given for the boys, one
on Things a Boy Ought to Know,
which will be a series of four or five
talks on very practical lines. and an
other on What Boy Can Do With 4
Knife which will no doubt be pop

The two clubs that are being organ

with the boys. The membership list
for the Observation club is rapidly
filing up, and will soon have to be

late Otis J. Dfmock, a business man
of that city. The sculptor was Richard

from a portrait owned by Charles F,

Mrs. School and Mrs. Ehmke had

SHIELDS LECTURE
z. M. G. A. Boys Working for
Bug Audience for Traveller
Monday Evening.
FUNDS TO BUY FURNITURE
Series of Practical Talks Arranged
for on Wednesday Afternoons
and During Winter.

The boys of the Y. M. C. A. are
working hard in preparation for the
lecture by G.. o. Shields next Monday
evening. They hope to realize enough
on the door receipts to redecorate
their room and perhaps to buy some
new furniture or games.
The lecture by Mr.. Shields is one
that ought to be heard by the boys
and girls on account of the way in
which it deals with nature. In order
to make it possible for all the children
to attend, a special low rate of adj
mission for school children has been
announced, and it is expected that
there will be many young folks as well
as older ones present.
Has Own Pictures.
Mr. Shields has been working for
years to arouse public sentiment and
TO secure needed legislation for the
protection Of wild game, fish and
birds. He is a great traveller, having
spent much time in tramping and
camping, studying his wild friends at
close range. The pictures which he
uses in connection with the lecture
are made from his own kodak views,
and they are unusually fine ones.
