The throwing open of this land is

ROSEBERRY TO SPEAK
TO THE OPPOSITION

London, Aug. S0.-The greatest SEN
sation of the present budget campaign
was furnished today when Lord Rose
berry accepted an invitation from the
business men of Glasgow to speak at
an anti-budget meeting in Glasgow
September 10.
Lord Roseberry's attitude on this
subject has UP to the present time
been doubtful. If he comes out strong
~ against these financial propositions
he will sever himself completely from
his party and be in Il position of great
er isolation than before. Lord Rose
berry has a large following of indie
pendent voters. and his antagonism
probably will be hard blow to the
budget which recently has seemed To
be gaining in popularity with the
masses.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Butte, Aug. 30.--In an important de-
cision rendered by Judge Lynch this
morning the action of the county COM
missioners in abolishing all but two
townships in Silver Bow county was
declared illegal and the court held that
they exceeded their jurisdiction in so
doing. The supreme court will now
be asked to pass upon this ruling.
The acts of the present justices,
Henry Foley and Michael Egan, are
not in any way invalidatcd by the
decision, but according to Judge
Lynch's opinion they have no more
right to the offices of justices of the
peace than any other man in Silver
Bow county. and will have to be ap-
pointed to their present positions by
the board of commissioners. in order to
retain their places. QUO warranto pro-
ceedings may be necessary to oust
them from office. 1t is possible that
number of lawsuits may he started
as result of this decision, as the for
mer justices may bring suit for back
salary claiming they are entitled to
hold their offices until their success
sors are elected.
Former justice John J. Grice. who
died recently. brought suit to oust the
present justices. but his contention was
not sustained by Judge McClernan, be
fore whom it was heard.
Former Justice \. II. Gillette also
began an action in the district court
to be declared the Justice oi the peace
in south Butte township and 1t was in
this case that Judge Lynch rendered
his decision this morning.
Gillette alleged that the commits
sioners had no right to abolish ami
township in Silver Bow county. The
court has now ruled that the commits
sioneiS acted without authority but is
silent on the question Of wheher Gil
lette still has the right To the office In
Souh Butte township.
Chairman Cronin. Of the board of
county commissioners. sent for Coun-
ty Attorney Walker this morning as
soon as he heard of the decision and
instructed him 10 carry the decision
to the supreme court.
I'VE are going tn fight this thing
10 finish" stated cronin. I'VE have
gone this far and are now going to let
the supreme court decide the matter.
If it is of the same opinion as is
Judge Lynch. we will then know our
position, and will be able to treat the
matter intelligently i'm the future"
County Attorney Walker said he would
take an exception to the courts rul-
ing, secure stay of execution and
appeal the case to the supreme court.
