Savage Opposes
County Division

coming energetic in the matter
Of county division and have out
lined a portion Of grand Old
Dawson County which they
think ought to be set apart from
the balance Of the county and
called Gate County," This por-
ton is the north and east part of
Dawson county with the south
line at the south of township 20,
and the west line west of range
as. Sidney wants the county
seat. This is quite natural, al
most everyone wants all they
can get, and we do not blame
them for that, but, is Sidney to
be considered in this matter or
are we who are here to lookout
for and protect the interests of
ourselves and those who will
come later if we can present to
the homeseeker favorable envir-
onments. We do not think that
the time is ripe for Dawson
county to be divided as it is a
county that is sparcely settled
compared with what it will be
within two or three years, and
that is one of our chief objections
to any move whatever to divide
the county at this time. When
the county is fairly we'll settled
with farmers. the met work of
railroads. has been completed,
when the various new towns
that will spring up as soon as
the railroads are in active oper-
alton have had a chance to make
a fairly good showing, then if
Sidney is the logical town for
county seat of the new county,
we can very willing allow our
sister town on the north to pluck
the delicious plum.
Just imagine Sidney our COM
peting town 20 miles north of US
with the Court House, with all
the luxuries of a county capital,
good roads, good bridges, POM
pous and important officials, with
Savage a good town. but not the
good things needed to add to it's
prosperity and population but as
we are here and have property
we pay the taxes, but will we
get value received? That is
what we are not sure of, and
what is more we do not expect
to reap our share of the good
things that our neighbor would,
If it became the county capital,
although just as worthy. The
good promises may come during
the conflict, but alas, they are
like the proverbial soap bubble.
beautiful to behold, but when
once broken it is gone forever.
What right has Sidney to as
sumo the Importance to ask to
ask to become the county seat,
until the many questions that
are now pending have been set
tied?
While we have not doubted
that the railroads would run in
to Sidney, we feel that there is a
possibility that some unforeseen
change might take place and
change matters materially.
We have approached number
of our business men on the coun-
ty division question and we have
yet to find one who is satisfied
or one who is not willing to fight
it, because they believe it is not
right. Savage Star.

Herd and Fence
Law Defined

With the number OF settlers in
Montana steadily increasing and
encroaching on the cattle ranges,
the laws Of Montana with refer
ence to lost or strayed cattle and
the right of persons finding them
to advertise them for sale for the
cost of their keep, and also the
fence law and the herd law, are
assuming an Importance they
never had in the past.
in an opinion recently deliver
ed to County Attorney Smith,
Attorney General Galen held that
a person finding a lost or strayed
horse, COW or other domestic ami
NAL. has no legal right to adver-
tise it for sale or dispose of it to
defray the cost Of keeping or
caring for it, but that he may
by proceeding under the provis-
ions of sections 1896 to 20O1, re-
vised codes, recover a reasonable
charge for his trouble or acquire
title to the property. In an
opinion delivered. Mr.. Galen con-
Strues the herd law and the fence
law in effect in this state. He
says:
Under the provisions of Sec
tions 8474, 8475, S476 and 8477 of
the revised codes of 91O7. it is
made unlawful for any person or
persons to wilfully drive, or cause
to be driven, any livestock held
in herd, on or over any field,
ranch property or valid claim in
process of title uader any of the
land laws of the United States,
or under lease from the state of
Montana, whether the same be
fenced or not; provided, that
any land SO owned, or under pro-
cess Of title, or under lease, and
not fenced, shall be clearly de-
fined by suitable monuments or
stakes, and plough burrows, with
printed or written notices indi-
eating the lands 50 held. A vio-
lation of the provisions of these
sections renders the guilty party
liable to the payment of a fine of
not less than $25 nor more than
$500 and costs, which fines are
to be paid into the school funds
of the county in which the action
is brought. The provisions of
these sections do not apply to
stock on range not held in herd,
Or not in charge of a herder.
1T is apparent then that un-
der the herd law persons
lands must be so marked as to
give notice to the herder that he
has no right to trespass thereon.
AT common law every man
was bound, at his peril, to keep
his cattle within his own close,
and, if he failed to do so, was
liable for their trespass upon the
lands Of another, whether the
lands trespassed upon were en-
closed or not (Vo'. 2 CYC 1922 /
but in many states of the union,
and especially in the western
country, this doctrine is not
deemed applicable to the condi-
tions, and this common law rule
has been changed by statute.
The sections of the Montana code
changing the common law are
sections 2O82 to 2O91 inclusive,
Rev. Codes of 1897. Section
2082 defines legal fences, and
section 209O provides as follows:
IF any cattle, horse, mule,
ass, hog, sheep, or other domes-
tic animal break into any enclos-

to telephone to a railroad passenger
station, for example, Is likely to ask
for the wrong number for the purpose
of his cali, for so confusing Is the
array of titles and numbers in the
telephone directory that It ID often
difiicult to decide upon the department
that is wanted. Frequently the infor.
nation bureau at q railroad station,
when appealed to, refers the inquirer
to another telephone number in the
same building. This necessitates the
payment Of q second toll. Telephone
operators are careful to prevent the
second call from being made without
the payment of second nickel.
Both the railroad companies and the
telephone company should do their
best to see that the arrangement Of
department names in the telephone d..
rectory is sufficiently clear to enable
inquirers to call the first time for
the number they really want.
The city ought to have bureau Of
complaints to which appeals for the
Improvement Of faulty conditions Of
service might be made by patrons Of
local public utility corporation.

What MuIdcon SAYS

Mr.. William Muldoon, the cele-
brated authority on Physical Culture,
in recent article, says that "Alcohol
has always stood at the head of the
list of the things that are used for self
destruction, merely to satisfy an un-
controllable appetite. Over-eating
comes second on the list, and the
abuse of the use of tobacco comes
third" After advising against the use
of meats at all, and especially during
the period from June to November, as
we'll as a moderate use of all foods,
he says "those, who have craving
for alcoholic drinks, and the quoting
effect of tobacco, will find that, with
this diet, the desire for alcoholic
stimulants would greatly die out.
They would not require, or would not
have desire for, one-half the amount
of fluids, that they now have, when
they are over-eating and eating meats.
