The fact was pointed out by Attor-

upheld the action of the council in re-
pealing the annexing ordinance and
dismissed the case of the demonstrators
1t would then be possible for the Gary
city council to meet next week and vote
to reconsider their action of the week
! before. If the repeating ordinance was
reconsidered and the council reversed
it's action then Miller would become a
part of Gary in spite of itself. Crum-
packer even limited that the Gary coun-
ell would do such a trick if it could
get away with it.

that was brought out by the trial OF

Doubtless many of those who expressed a preference for Roose- welt In the straw vote had no idea that they might ever be called upon to vote for Bwano Tomba. but they took the opportunity to protest against the reactlonary attitude of the Taft administration and to endorse the Roosevelt policies, which legend has 1t Taft was to carry out,
 Other evidence is not wanting to show that Taft's prestige is seriously threatened and that there is wide spread political discontont, which seems strongest among the members of Tafts own party.

Although President Taft has been in office a uIfle less than a year there are strong indications to show that his popularity throughout the country is decidedly on the wane. One of the most striking evidences O. this fact is the straw vote taken among the Republican editors east of the Allegheny mountains The vote was taken by the Chicago TrI- bune.

a petition is out at the present
time among the residents living south
of the river asking that portion of
school district number 10 be added
to District number l6, or the Harlow
ton District. The reason for this
change is obvious. The southern
bounde ry of district number l6 is the
Musselshell river. This necessitates
the children living south of the river
attending the Labrie school, which
is an Inconvenience. The proposed
change will enlarge the Harlowton

STORY OF DESERTI0N
Anaconda Standard Describes Baby
Desertion in a Graphic
Manner.

The Anaconda Standard tells the
story of the desertion of the little
baby boy, who was found in the depot
last Saturday night, in graphic man
ner. The following is the account
given in the Standard.
The Milwaukee depot at Harlowton
is haunted. If you don't believe it
just ask "Pooh," the colored porter
of the Murphey eating house at that
place. He will tell you-and tell you
honestly-how he saw a COST in the
station Saturday night just as it was
getting dark.
The COST moved. 1t was over in one
corner, and he saw the white clothes
moving and then he heard the little
Cry that could only come from ghost.
AS soon as he saw the apparition
he backed out of the waiting room
and made a bee line for the quickest
way out of there. He met several of
the townspeople and told them what
he had seen. They laughed at him,
but it was no laughing matter to him.
He was positive and he told them to
go see for themselves. AS for him he
didn't have any desire to Investigate.
His hearers with that natural curiosity
to see what it was that had SO started
the colored man went up to the sta
t ion to investigate. Sure enough over
in one dark corner of the ladies wait
ing room of the station was "Pooh's"
ghost. 1t was there all right wrapped
up in white clothes and able to Cry
out loud. 1t was 2-monthS-Old babe
and was just as cute as it could be.
Evidently the mother had deserted il
in the hope that it would fall into
the hands of some good family. The
child was warmly wrapped up and had
apparently been left there shortly
after 3 O'Clock in the afternoon.
