Firm Believer In Pork Industry

Billings. Mont. Aug. 26.-Reply-
ing to a recent inquiry of Ex-senator
Paris Gibson as to whether hogs can
be grown profitabiy in Montana.
and for his opinion regarding the
quality of the pork compared with
that of the Mississippi valley states,
DR.. w. x. Sudduth, an expert in
this industry said: have over 1000
hogs on my Musselshell ranch and
they are absolutely healthy. They
are running on alfalfa pasture
and during the summer have had all
the sugar beet molasses they want
ed, fed in open troughs For the
last 30 days have been feeding rye
and my belief is that 30 pounds Of
grain fed in as many days will finish
these hogs for market in good shape.
am firm believer in the possibili-
ty Of raising hogs in Montana, and
my experience has confirmed my
previous opinion regarding the
healthfulness of the climate for this
industry =

Fred Kuntz, one Of the owners of
the saloon at Stipek, died at the
county hospital in this city at about
10 30 last Saturday morning His death
was caused as the result of an alter
cation which he had in his place of
business on Wednesday with Charles
Harmon, during the course of which
many severe blows were struck and
this caused fracture of the skull
from which Kuntz finally died. Aecor
ding to the physicians, blood elot on
the brain was the primary cause of
death.
At the time Of the alteration.
Harmon and several others were in the
saloon. An argument started as such
arguments will under similar condi-
tions. Kuntz, who was tending bar at
the time, finally reached over the bar
and struck at Harmon, missing him.

No Bull Moose For Them

Missoula, Aug q. james A. Met
calf Of Glendive, a layman in atten
dance at the meeting of the Methodist
Episcopal conference and also state Sc
cretary Of the bull moose party, who
delivered j political harangue IN behalf
Of the Roosevelt platform yesterday
when called on to report to the confer
ence concerning the general conference
last May, was summarily shut off when
he tried to make speech this morning
regarding the admission of other than
regular physicians to the Deacon
ness hospitals Of the state.
At the same time, number of the
ministers who are in the conference
are discussing the bull moose speech
made before the conference yesterday
BY Metcalf, and resolution is being
drawn up for presentation to the meet
ing tonight, denying that the confer
ence in any way desires to have politi-
cal matters injected into its proceed
ings, and correcting the impression
that the conference was willing TO
listen to any political talk.
One Of the leading members OF the
conference said today:
''You may say that strong feeling
| of resentment exists among the lead
ing members Of the conference that
anyone should have injected a politi-
cal subject into the sessions of the
conference. Without doubt the resolu-
tions condemning the introduction of
politics into the meeting will be Adopt
ed at the meeting tonight. =
The resolution. which is directly in
tended as rebuke for the spellbinding
Of Mr.. Metcalf, is backed by large
number Of the ministers, and it is not
believed there will be any opposition
to its passage by the conference.
Metcalf appeared before the con-
ference this morning for the purpose of
reporting . resolution passed by the
laymen's convention, directing that
the Deaconess hospitals allow practi-
tioners Of any school, SO long as they
are licensed by the state. to treai
patients in. their wards. As eour.
tesy to the Iaymen's $ eovention he
was allowed to introduce the resolu.
tion ID the conference and speak In
support of it.
The conference then discussed the
resolution, and the sentiment Of tbs

verdict of the jury was that the de-

inflicted by Chas Harmon. The latter
was exonerated, as all the testimony
seemed to show that he acted in SELF
defense. Harmon was arrested immedi-
ately after the death Of Kuntz, but
was released as soon as the verdict
was made known.

whom no complaint had been
made that would authorize
the issuing of legal warrant for
their arrest. Merely charging a
person with being vagrant is
no charge at all in contemplation
of law. To authorize an arrest
and conviction for vagrancy, the
complaint must set forth the spe-
cific acts of which the person
sought to be charged has been
guilty that would constitute him
vagrant. This matter has been
very definitely passed upon by
the supreme court of our state,
but the usual way of charging
the alleged offense before the
magistrates of the county has
been about as follows:
Orchard Roe beingduly sworn,
deposes and says, that on the lSt
day Of January, 1913, at the
township of Blank, in the county
of Van Buren,, one John Doe, late
Of the township of Blank, in said
county, was a disorderly person,
within the meaning of section So
and.s of the compiled laws OF
the state Of Michigan, in this,
that the said John Doe is a va.
grant, which charges absolutely
no offense whatever known to the
law. Let the various magis-
trates of the county fully under
stand that such complaints will
lot be tolerated and that no per-
son must be convicted of vagran.

of the people and warming them
selves in comfortable quarters
during the cold winter days, than
there have been in the past.

but how about the home mer-

enough interest among the adj

reception accorded the solicitor

apparent, and have a tendency
to discourage a second visit.
Good advertisers in town don't

the intention OF President. elect
Wilson to call an extra session
Of congress some time in April in
order to secure q revision of the
tariff along the lines advocated
bv democratic members, That
there will be no such ward
revision as has been anticipated
is evident, and the indications
are that the next tariff revision
will be made with each congress-
man trying to look out for the in
dustries in his own particular
district. For instance: Six dem
ocratic congressman eject from
Massachusetts are said to have
met in the office of Mayor Fitz-
gerald of Boston and agreed to
oppose any reduction in the tariff
on shoes. Southern democrats,
it is understood, are prepared to
battle Vigorously against free
sugar and lower duties on cotton
fabrics. Missouri democrats will
as vigorously oppose lowering
the duties on zinc, and SO it will
60 all down the line. The demo
Gratis will preach low tariff on
the ground that it will reduce the
cost of living. and then take
steps to see that low tariff does
not invade their own neighbor-
hood.

"What was the reason for it, "

the notice was published, l do
not pretend to know, but this
paper stated that the United
States government would redeem
II one fourth their face value all
cancelled postage stamps that
wei returned to the postoffice de-
partment at Washington. How
anybody could credit such a
statement is a mystery, but they
did and the notice was widely
copied. 1t at last found its way
into the patent insides SO much
used by small country newspa-
pers. Numbers of people took
it as literal truth and began to
save up their old stamps. Then
our troubles began.
"Letters began to pour IN from
all parts of the country asking
about the redemption of the can
celed stamps, and worse than
that, express packages began
coming 10, bringing old stamps
to be redeemed. The department
was simply overwhelmed. We
finally had to employ five or six
extra clerks to answer these let
tiers. 1t was a rather disagreed
BILE job, too, writing to all those
people that their stamps were
worthless. Some of the letters
that came with the stamps were
pathetic, and | hate to think Of
the number of people who were
disappointed, all because some
crack Drained editor published
that idiotic notice.
"Why, even now, and it has
been five years at least since
that notice came out, hardly a
week passes that we do not re-
seive letters and packages of
cancelled stamps. The news has
just gotten to some sequestered
spots. | hope the contradiction
will be as widely copied as was
the original notice. This shows
that you newspaper people ought
to be mighty careful what you
print, too" he added whimsi-
