passed both houses on third read
ing on Wednesday afternoon, and
it secured the signature of Govern.
or Norris on Monday afternoon and
became law. The Musselshell
county bill had great advantages
to assist it through the legislature.
Ryan and Morony apparently
wanted it.
There were many new county
projects, several of them meritor-
Gus. There is nothing to show that
the Musselshell county plan was
entitled to more favorable consid-
Grafton on it's merits. No other
county division plan has made ad-
vancement in this legislature which
so enthusiastically pushed the
Musselshell scheme through, and
most of the bills have already been
killed.
1t seems that any kind of a coun-
ty can be formed anywhere in the
State, if it meets with the approval
of the copper trust, and the trust
will give it's approval to any new
county scheme if it's agents have
hope that they can control the new
county politically. If on the con-
trary, the copper combine and Ry-
an and Morony feel that they can
not control proposed new county,
it connot be formed, no matter
what its advantages might De to
the people who would live within
it's borders or to the State. County
divisionists are advised to see Ry
an and Morony before proceeding
with their plans hereafter.
The above appeared in the Mon
tana Outlook, one paper in Helena
that does not belong to Or is not
under the control of that octopus.
known as the amalgamated. 1t is
the general rumor that Roundup
used every available means, wheth-
er right or wrong, to win their
point and even sold their interests
in the new county to the copper
trust. Musselshell county did not
get through legislature on merit
but via. corrupt politics.
It might also be noted in con-
nee ton with the above, that when
the bill introduced by Brady was
up before the legislature providing
for a constitutional amendment,
compelling the mining corporations
of this state to bear their just bur-
den of taxes that both Representa-
tives Asbridge and Slayton, of the
new county of Musselshell voted
against the bill, thereby clinching
the charge made by the editor of
the Outlook.
1t seems that there are certain
few at Helena who have it in for
Representative /. S. McQuitty of
Harlowtown because he steadfastly
refuses to join their corrupt poll
ties and sell his honor to the cop
per trust for their paltry dollars,
but stands for the interest of the
people whom he represents. We
wish to say that Representative
McQuitty is one of our progressive
merchants and man of sterling
qualities whom the people of Mea-
CHER county have explicit faith.
Merino county stands, for pas
sage in the legislature on it's just
merits, and voice from those in
favor of the proposed new Merino
county in the legislature, say, that
MerinO and some other county di-
visions are more meritOrous than
Musselshell but they have no favor
with the copper trust agents and
of course will have hard pull on
account of opposition coming from

TO USE LARGER
ENGINES ON BRANCH
Milwaukee Will use Stronger En-
eines Between Lewistown and
Harl0Wt0n

The Milwaukee people have at
last come to the conclusion that
the engines they have been run
ming over the branch are altogeth-
er too small for the work demand
ee of them and have ordered new
ones that will be put on early this
spring. During the blocade two
weeks ago one was tried between
here and Lewistown and had no
difficulty in getting through the
large drifts. They are much larger
than the present type of engines
and are known as the X / engine.
These style engines are already in
operation hauling heavy freights
between here and judith Gap and
have proved a success. Before
the X 1 engine can become a per
manent fixture all the bridges
along the line will have to be
strengthened.

PRELIMINARY HEARING
HELD AT JUDITH GAP
Assault Case Tried Before Justice
Balm at Judith Gap Monday.
Charged With Assault.

On Friday night two laboring
men, one a miner at Maiden Mont.
the other an employee on a ranch
near Belt, were going across from
Judith Gap to the Milwaukee de-
pot when they were stopped by
three men on the highway. The
evidence showed that these three
men, Geo. Coons, F. e. Kelly and
Matter Bangen, had demanded
money from the other two and on
being refused made an assault
which resulted in a melee. The
German who works at Belt ran on
ahead and left his partner, Mr..
Powers to contend with the three
men alone. Mr.. Powers was knock
ed down several times during a
running fight which covered about
200 yards but no money was taken
from his person.
The assaila1,ts followed the two
to the Milwaukee depot and there
endevoured to break open the door
but were unsuccessful. The depot
agent was called and he and his
assistant fired several shots at ran
dom but the culprits escaped.
Deputy Sheriff Aaron Ray was
then called and the three culprits
were soon apprehendeb and identi-
fed by Mr.. Powers.
1t developed on the trial that
the three men were residents of
the restricted district and at the
conclusion of the hearing the JUS
tice bound them over to the Dist.
Court on bail of $500, each.

down the old stage road house outside
Salida, Colo. that has been standing

years.
The stage house was large. long at
fair built in the old fashioned style
with long porch and was visible
from the Rio Grande railroad track
east Of Salida. 1t had become very
much dilapidated.
One end Of the building was fitted
up for living purposes until Mr.. Jones

the rest Of the building was left va

NEW SENATE BILL
NUMBER THIRTY.FIVE
Providing for the Formation and Organization of New Coun
ties on the Whole is meritorious Measure and the
People Should Demand it. Passage at Once

The following bill as it was a.
mended and passed by the Senate,
on the whole is meritorious meas
ure. While it presents some OBJ
jectiOnal features in it's workings,
it is worth the serious considera-
tion of every resident and taxpay-
er of this State. BY the provi-
sions of this bill the creation of
new counties is removed from the
halls of the legislature and left
solely with the people affected
thereby, eliminating the objection

that are injected into fights neces-
sary to the formation of new coun-

Went to the ambition of office seek
ers, or the the personal desire of
any man or combination of men.
If the people of district or com

vantages to which they are subject
in many parts of Montana, due to
distances from county seats and
the inadequate railroad facilities

son why they should spend their

legislature to secure what Justly

demonstrated during the present
session.
While we would not even vent
ure prophesy as to what this
measure will look like when it
comes from the house committee
on new counties, we do venture to
say that this bill meets long-felt
demand, and should it be acted on
adversely by the house committe,
an outraged public will demand
retribution two years hence.
The principal provisions of the
bill are as follows:
1st, That any new county form

 Tomlinson employed a farm hand, who gave the name of Charles Gal pin, about a month ago. Galpin re- gently quit the job This morning Tomlinson discovered the theft of the harness, and making inquiries among those near his home he discovered that Galpin was seen lettering about the neighborhood last night.
 He hurried to Bridgeport and told his story to Beamer and Bray.
 'I'll show you the harness" said Beamer, leading him directly to the barn of a truckman who had bought the stuff from Galpin. Beamer had heard Of the transact shortly after it was made and bore it in mind for future reference
