Northern Pacific Agent at

F. L. Skunk, agent for the North

While sitting at his desk receiving

which he recovered rapidly, but did

SECURES DISMISSAL OF CLIENT ON
POINT OF LAW.
A SPECIAL VEN|RE DRAWN
Jury in Burney Perjury Case Disagrees
Another Burglary Case Being
Tried Today.

Miss Emma Madeen, whom the
court had appointed attorney for
Robert O'Conner, charged with burg
larry, last Monday secured the dismis-
sal of her client and caused Judge
Myers and all the attorneys to sit up
and take notice by springing su-
preme court decision that proved a
clincher and of which all seemed to be
in bllssful ignorance.
O'Conner was charged with burg
larry, the offence consisting of the
theft of a pair of pants from butcher
shop at Stevensville. When the case
came up for trial, after the jury had
been selected and all the preliminaries
cleared away, Attorney Madden arose
and quietly asked that the case
against O'Conner be dismissed on the
ground that he could not be guilty of
the crime charged-there having been
no trespass in the premises. In sup
port of her contention she cited
Montana supreme court decision that
holds, in similar case, that the pub
lie is privileged to enter any public
place of business during business
hours and that trespass is a condition
precedent to burglary. At most the
accused could only be convicted of
larceny. The court sustained the
point and the case against O'Conner
was dismissed. In the case of the
State VS.. James Murphy, charged
with burglary, a similar case, the
court instructed the jury to return a
verdict of acquittal.

at the regular monthly meeting of the

and making two clean safties himself.
In the first inning Gebeau pitched
nine strikes in succession. La Ham
ilton's first crack at the ball, McQuaid
was safe en- a ficder's choice and Will
liams knocked the ball to the fence
for two bases. Fort Missoula's run
came in the ninth, when Teevau got a
base on balls and Davis hit safely to
right. Davis was afterwards caught
off of first by Marx. Owings got a
safe hit, advancing Teevan to third.
While Spaulding was at bat Teevan
stole home and WAS safe because of
McQuaid's wild throw.

Teevan, shortstop; Davis, left field;
Owings, catch; Spaulding, right field;
McKillop, second base; Smith, center
field; Blair, first base; Nichols and
Winkler, third base; Pear, Blair and

If any class of workers earn their
money, certainly the physicians do, and
tho it is gratifying to know that the
Health Boards are doing away to a
certain extent with the necessity for
the doctors services, yet he has much
sympathy in his present plight. Apropos
of this question is the recent disturbing
rumor that several Philadelphia medi-

in order to increase their fees. 1t is
stated that certain physicians, with
cases of diphtheria, would not admin

the number of visits which otherwise
the doctor would be obliged to make.
These charges are made by DR.. Neff,
Director of the Department of Public
Health, but it cannot be believed that
such an inhuman state of things could
exist anywhere to any extent. There
possibly might be one or two doctors,
greedy for money and insensible to the
noble, lofty traditions of the profession,

The Rebel flag.

Memorial Post, Cleveland, O., has
adopted resolutions prepared by a COM
mittee consisting of w. S. Rogers, Leroy
Williams and G.. Fl. Foster, reciting that
there are a number of rebel flags cap
tured by the Union army now in the
possession of the various States, and
that it believes that the sooner every
physical sign or token of the rebellion
is removed the better it will be for the
whole country. These are used by de-
signing politicians for political bun
combe; therefore, the Delegates from
the Post to- the next Department En-
campment are instructed TO insist upon
the passage OF an appeal to the Ma
tional Encampment to urge upon all the
State Governments holding these flags
to have the same burned and forever
destroyed, thereby eliminating the los
sibility of ever having the subject
brought up to discredit the memory of
our dead comrades. who gave their lives
to capture these flags.

NATIONAL TRIBUNE
PENSION BILL.

Editor National Tribune: Last FRI
day evening Encampment 81, Union
Veteran Legion, of Camden, N. j., held
one of its largest attended and most
inspiring assemblies of the year. 1t
happened to be the occasion for the
nomination of officerS-a circumstance,
by the way, which demonstrated by the
interest developed that 81 is still sup
piled with plenty of the very best ma
terial for making officers. incidentally
| two or three matters of timely impor-
tance were UP for consideration, among
them being the proposed legislative
measure known as The National Trib-
une bill. 1t was evident that the COM
rades present had been reading up on
the subject, and were thorOly familiar
with its merits, so that when the sug
gestion of giving it the Encampments
official Endorsement was proposed the
resolution to carry 1t into effect was
enthusiastically and unanimously adopt
ed. In accordance with this action a
committee of three Past Colonies was
appointed to inform you of the same,
and to assure you at the same time that
81 will not lose sight of the fact that
the Congressman from this district, the
Hon. III. c. Loudenslager, is Chairman
