THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.
From present indications il would seem
that statewide prohibition has had
backset in the present legislature. One
legislator. talking on this subject, said:
The people have made up heir minds
TO have beer and even stronger spirits
IL they choose to do so-that prohibition
had gone too far and the pendulum was
swinging back again"
That doctrine may do the people who
have never had experience with drunk
ards-in their own families, but it will
not do for those who know that touch
not. handle not is the only safe rule or
guide in prohibition, where intoxication

REAL ESTATE OFFICE

H. D. Shepard, president and man
ager, and l.. H. Lyford one of the
trustees, of the Travelling Mems
Land Investment company, returned
yesterday from the east where they
have been working for the last
month in Iowa, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and North and South Dakotas,
selling stock in the company and in
teresting people in the opportuni-
ties that we have in Whitefish, at
the head of this famous Flathead
valley
They say that as a result there
will be lot of people coming to
Whitefish to buy ranches and acre
tracts. They are pleased to get
back to Gods country again, where
the wind does not blow, and say
that yesterday was the first nice
day they have seen since they left
here ON March 23. While at Man
ley, Ia, they sold the Merle C.
Greene ranch, which lays just west
of this city. They sold in Minneapo
lis some of the lake front lots and
acre tracts in the Baker addition to
Whitefish, which is now owned by
the Travelling Mems Land Invest
ment company.
l.. H. Lyford, of Marley, Ia, will
have charge of the Travelling Mems
Investment company's business here
in our city. Mr.. Lyford's family will
arrive here in a week or ten days
as soon as arrangements can be
be made for a home. H. D. Shep.
ard, the president and manager will
move from Spokane to this city as
soon as convenient. Mrs Shepard
who accompanied him east will re-
main at Aberdeen, S. D., for two OF

and he said he wanted to see the
doctor, and when told that he was
not at home, became violent, and
threatened to smash in the doors
and windows. This frightened the
women, and Mrs. Houston made her
escape through the back to the
house next door and called Mr..
Stacey and Mr.. Paine. They dressed
hurriedly, and having no other wea-
pom handy, grabbed the axe and
made bold skirmish to the front
porch of Houston's residence, after
what they thought was burglar.
Upon being asked what he wanted
by Mr. Stacey the alleged doctor
said he just wanted to see DR.. Hous-
ton, who was an old friend of his.
Stacey would accept no such ex-
cuses, and demanded that he march
down town, holding the axe over
him and threatening to crush his
skull if he disobeyed.
When Or" Bowen found that he
was being treated so roughly he re-
scented, and was rather reluctant
about going along peaceably, but
Stacey kept the sharp bit of the axe
in view, and threatened to trim him
down to his own size with it if he
was not good The trio got down
to the Hotel Northern, when Dr.
Houston came along, returning from
his call, and he went in search of
Officer Green, who was at the sta
ton. In the meantime DR." Bowen
was held prisoner in the hotel lob
by, and Mr.. Stacey stood
guard at the door with the axe until
the officer arrived.
Officer Green locked him up in
Jail for the night, and yesterday
morning he was given hearing be-
fore Judge Carr and sentenced to
twenty days in the county jail, but
suspended sentence provided he left
town, which he did.
Those who happened to be present
when Mr. Stacey arrived down town
with his prisoner, declared that he
portrayed a comical sight, although
it was a life and death proposition
to him at the time. He had just re-
tired for the night, and on being so
hurriedly aroused donned only a
pair of trousers over his night dress
and drew on pair of slippers, for
getting all about a hat. The prison
err. almost twice his size, took no.
lions at times to be resentful at
being ordered around so roughly, but
when the axe was thrust under his
nose would calm down and try to
argue Mr. Stacey out of having him
arrested, assuring that if he could
only see Dr. Houston that all would
