HILL COUNTY HEARING.
County Commissioners Consider
Pc ition and Protests.

Pc ition and Protests.
The hearing of the Hill county petit.
ton, which was resumed by the coun.
ty commissioners Monday morning,
developed some interesting features
during the day. Protests from local..
ties that would be included 10 the
proposed new county were discussed,
and legal representatives OF these pro.
testants urged that their expressed
desire to rem ain in Choutesu county
be given proper consideration.
One Of these protests came from
residents of townships In the south.
eastern part of the proposed county.
and vas siened by nearly every tax.
payer in the district affected. The
protest was concluded to be in proper
form, and the number Of sigu atures
sufficient. and il was finally decided
to exclude townships % in ranges 9 to
IA east, inclusive. and township %
range Is east, from the territory GOV.
cred by the Hill county petition. This
strip is north of Big Sandy, extend
ing from Black coulee to the military
reservation.
The Marias county insurgents were
not 90 successful in their attempt to
be separated from the Hill county
proposition. Their protest wac pre-.
sented with the claim that 1t contained
the signatures of 277 registered voters
of their district--a number 10 excess
of that required to allow it to remain
a part of Chouteau county. Attorney
Mcconnell, who represented the Hill
county petitioners at the hearing,
questioned the validity of the Marias
county protest, alleging that it did moi
comply with the requirements of law.
and his objections we're sustained by
the board. The residents of town
chips comprised in what is known as
the proposed Marias county will there
fore remain within the Hill county
bound aries, unless au appeal to the
courts shall reverse the action of The
county commissioners.

Must BE Presented For Inspection
BY County Clerk.
There Is one law that was passed by
the last state legislature and which
goes INTO effect August l, OF which lit
tie IL generally known aud the opera.
ton OF which will undoubtedly be q
surprise to many merchants and bust
ness men. 1t is "a law O! stand ard
weights and measures for Montana.
Under It's provisions every merchant
and all persons, firms or corporations
engaged 10 the trade OF buying and
selling commodities, produce or
''thtngs" of any nature, will come un.
der the rigid inspection of the state
sesler OF weights and measures, who
will be the secretary Of the state, and
his deputy sealers. who will be the
the county clerks of each county.
Under the provisions of this new law,
every merchant, firm, vender, cor.
poratton, milkmsn and railroad com.
pany, will be required to present their
weights, measures, scales and devices
to the county clerk for inspection on
AuRust l, next. They will then be In.
spected aud II found not wanting will
be stamped or tagged with the official
certificate OF the deputy sesler. Any
merchant, person, firm or corporation
failing to have their weights and
measures thus officially inspected and
stamped are prohibited from using
them until they are so inspected under
penalty of the l~aw-which, for the fret
offense, is a fine of not less that S25
or more than $500, and for the second
offense q fine of not less than 800 or
more than $500. Each day of use OF
such scales, weights and measures
after that date ia considered as a sep.
er ate offense.
After the law is once in operation
the deputy sealer must cause to be in

wagon and railroad track scales must
be inspected once every six months.
The fees ex acted from the owners Of
such weights, measures Or scales
range from SIS for those of large size
to ten cents for the smaller sizss.
The new law is very sweeping. L
covers everything from the measure
of q yard of ribbon to q car of pro-
duce, and not only makes inspection
; of devices for weighing and measuring
necessary but also makes it a fraud

Champagne Riots Are Growing
in Intensity.
Mob Breaks Bottles and Burns
the Presses.
WOMEN ARE LEADERS.
Lie in Road and Dare Cavalry
to Ride Over Them.
The Wine DepOts Are Being
Destroyed Everywhere.

Epernay, Department of Marine, April
13.-Despite the fact that the depart
ment of Marine is a vast armed camp
with infantrymen and dragons biv
ouacked throughout the night at almost
every village in the champagne dis
trict, rioting broke out anew today and
the flames of anger and vengeance con-
tinue to sweep the grape growing re-
gion.
At Vinay the rioters hastily threw up
oarricades with barrels, cases and de-
bris of all sorts and succeeded in hold
ing back the advancing troops. while
another group of manifestants armed
with torches entered the vast cham
payne depot.
The mob smashed all the bottles OF
champagne they could find, wrecked
the wine presses and then set fire to
the building.
Women were foremost in the work OF
destruction, chanting snatches of revo-
lutionary airs and urging on the men.
When the troops reached Vtnay the Wo-
men lay down on the roads and defied
the cavalry to ride over them. Event
ually the troops succeeded in getting
control of the situation and dispersed
the manifestants. At dawn many places
in the wine growing district showed the
horizon darkened by the smoking ruins
of wine depots burned during the night.
At the same time exploded detonations
summoned additional wine growers to
the different rallying points for the pur-
pose of resuming their march OF de-
struction.
The government officials claimed that
the sacking and burning of wine prop
erty is being done by criminal elements
which are flocking into this region
from other districts.
The public prosecutor at daylight TINS
morning proceeded to Ay, where con-
flagration started by incendiaries
threatened for time last night to de-
stroy the entire village and made 20
arrests among the ringleaders of the
manifestants.

PATENT MEDICINE CONTEST.
Right of Drug Compounders to Label
"Cure AIIs'' Being Tested.

Washington, April 13.-The first
big legal contest arising out of the
passage of the pure food and drug act
of 1906 had the right of way today In
the supreme court of the United
states. The government was making
a last effort to sustain its claim to the
right to prosecute criminally persons
who labeled drugs or medicine with
false statements about the curative
properties of their preparations.
The point arose in the United States
district court in western missouri,
where an indictment against DR.. o. A:
Johnson was quashed on the ground
that the act did not apply to false
statement about the curative proper
ties of drugs but only to false state
ments regarding the ingredients. Dr.
johnson was charged with having
shipped in interstate commerce drugs
which he stated would cure cancer,
but which the government claimed
"were entirely ineffective and worth
less for that purpose.
1t is claimed on behalf OF Johnson
that If the law is to be interpreted as
forbidding statement about the cura-
tive property of drugs the act is I'M
constitutional. Such statements are
defended as mere forecasts concern
