Claims State Fair Grounds.

HELENA, Oct. 13.-Providing that q
deed Sheriff Martin Higgins executed
ay to Paul Albertson of Butte is
free from defects, the state of Montan q
owns no state fair grounds, and Its
belief tha at it had clear and undisputed
possession to the grounds where the
state fairs have been held the past nine
years has been q delusion.
The history of the deed Sheriff Hlg.
gins today executed runs back to 1896
when the Montana Fair & Racing
association was in control of the
grounds. In that year Sam Willin OF
Butte obtained judgment az ainst the
association, and the property was ad.

Albertson bid the grounds in Novem'

sheriff's certificate of sale.
He made no effort to obtain q deed
to the property, and seemingly it was
known to no person that the grounds
had been sold. Recently, however,
Mr.. Albertson decided to assert his
claims to the ownership of the prop

ACCUSED OF DYNAMITING.

Los ANGELES, Oct. 10.-Not since
the trial of the officials of the Western
FEEDER alton of Miners for the alleged
assassin alton OF Ex-Governor Steuen-
berg, of Idaho, has q trial in this
country excited the intense interest in
labor circles and among the public
generally as Is manifested in the case
of the Men Namara brothers, who are
to be placed on trial tomorrow
charged with completely In tie
dynamiting outrage that resulted
in the destruction of the Los Angeles
Times building and the death of 81
men working there, on October l,
1910.
The long and bitter fight waged by
the Times against the labor unions
and their methods, the confession Of
Ortie E. McManigal alleging that an
org ganized band OF labor leaders made
business OF destroying the lives and
property of those antagonistic to the
labor unions. and the active and gen.
erous support given by the American
FEEDER alton of Labor and other labor
org aniza ations in aid of the accused
men, have fed the popular imagina.
ton and led the public to believe that
the trial will result in startling dis
closures.
The specific charge upon which the
trial will proceed is covered by in
dictment No. 6,946, relating to the
death OF J. Wesley Reeves, an EN-

The president spoke from a plat.

standing on the edge OF giant green
cup that was filed almost to the brim

green for the most part, each pine
distinct in the clear air, with here and
there a golden patch of cultivated
ground. Nearer at hand, just across
the stadium, the hills that fringed the
road over which the party Travelled
stood out in bolder relief, dotted with
people.
Around the race course of the eta
dium were banked thousands of spec
tators and on the track itself thous
ands of soldiers from the Presidio ani
hundreds of jackies and militiamer
stood at rest, their guns flashing II
