Washington. Dec. 15.-The appoint
ment of Judge Hunt of Montana to
the new commerce court is a recog-
milton OF the ability and experience of
the Montana judge. He is a southern
er by birth and first saw the light of
day in New Orleans in 1857. AS soon
as he reached his majority he moved
to Montana and began practicing law.
His rise was rapid in this new coun-
try and in 1884 he was chosen attorney
general. He rose rapidly through
various appointive and elective offices
and in 1892 he was made member of
the state supreme bench. On account
Of i'll health he was forced in 1901 to
leave the state of his adoption and was
then appointed governor of Porto
Rico. His efficient work here brought
him the attention Of President Taft,
and, having regained his health, he
was appointed to the commerce court,
for which department of law his ex-
perience has made him especially fit
ted.

The skeptic is Sir Edward Fry, ex-lord

evidence that there ever were any ma
rauding Doones on Exmoor.

the face of 1t, the story was perfectly
probable, he said that while old writer's
referred to the traditions Of other ban
ditti such as the Gubbfnses Of Dartmoor,
no writer mentioned any Doone trad1-
ton.
mo piece of historical evidence has
ever been produced said Sir Edward,
ito show that the band existed, although
their long,continued misdeeds were of a
nature to produce a whole library of
penny chapbooks, such as formed the
reading of country people in the seven
