A record slaughter for one
nights work was that done sun
day night on the Harvey and 1're.
gloan ranch on Willow creek by 4
bunch OF lynx.
: The above list of animals shows
the feast enjoyed by these animals
in one night. Never before in

such a terrible slaughter Of sheep
and fowls in one night.

to come right mp to the ontbnild-
ings of the ranch home and kill 50
sheep, IL turkeys. So chickens and
18 ducksi iii one night. The story
is not exaggerated in one particu-
lar as all the cafcasses of the ani
mails remained to tell the story.
One Of the biggest slanghters in
the past was that at the Andrew
Peterson ranch about ten
years ago when one bob cat killed
a large number of sheep and lambs
and the rest of the flock jammed
together in corner for protection
and by morning 800 sheep and
lambs had either been killed OF
suffocated.
One bunch Of the lynx has been
seen and there We're seven togeth

tainly had the feast Of their lives,
although at tremendous cost to
the owners of the poultry and
sheep.
All that was left Of the poultry
were two turkeys, one rooster and
two hens and five ducks. Brown
will keep busy until every last

The Harlowton news., 1913-12-26

Last Monday a dispatch was re-
ceived from Washington by Attor-
ley General Kelly, announcing
that he had won for the state of
Montana the suit brought by the
New York life Insurance company
against the county of Deer Lodge,
inVo1v wing Uile Right of Montana to
levy and collect taxes on the. busi-
ness of life insurance companies
done within the state. This is
one of the most notable legal vic
tories that has been won by this
state iii many years.
Life insurance companies, ordi-
narily, have no tangible property
within a state, other than office fix
lures and the like, which amount
to very little. The only method,
therefore, in which their proper
share of taxes can be collected is
by leyying an assessment on the
business done by the company
within the state, and this sought
to collect taxes upon the net
premiums earned within the state.
The contention Of the New York
Life Insurance company was that
their business was Interstate com
merce within the meaning of the
constitution Of The United States,
giving to Congress absolute control
of this question, and that any at
tempt ON the part Of the state to
levy taxes on business done with
in the state was a burden upon in
terstate commerce and in violation
Of the constitution.
The case just decided was insti-
atuted by Deer Lodge county. Sep
stember, 1910, and a Judgment was
rendered in favor of the county hy
the district court. This was ap,
pealed to the supreme court OF The
state, and the Judgment Of the
lower court was confirmed. Then
an appeal was taken to the su,
preme court Of the United States.
The case was heard by the supreme
court Of the United States in the
early part Of November of this
year. James H. Mcintosh, chie1
counsel Of the New York Life In
surance company of New York and
Professor Roscoe Pound, professor
,of law of the Harvard Law School
appeared for the life insurance
company, and Attorney Genera
Kelly pleaded the cause Of th.
State Of Montana. On Monday
the supreme court Of the Unitee
States affirmed the judgement q

VICTIMS FACE IS
HAUNT |NG P0WE R
Attorney Overcome With Re-
morse for Staying Quinton,
His Former Friend

Overcome by remorse for killing
Charles Quinton, Thomas j. Power in
his cell in the Alameda county Jail is
haunted by the face Of his victim with
the agony 1t portrayed on the night of
the shooting in the Irvington saloon
Saturday
With his face blanched and his
nerves unstrung after sleepless
night, Power declared this morning
that he bitterly regretted that he had
taken human life.
Words can not tell how sorry I
am that | was forced to kill this man
who wrecked my home" he said. His
blood is on my hands, and I can not
escape the feeling of responsibility
that must come to one who takes q
human life. From the verdict which
was rendered yesterday, I feel that
my own townspeople are with me- but
/ have no desire to pose as a hero.
for / have done a terrible thing in
killing Quinton."
Apparently deserted by his wife,
who. he says, caused the tragedy.
Power showed signs of dependency
for the first time. His wife has rot
signified any intention of testifying
for him at the trial and has made no
attempt to see him.
The woman has not been seen since
Saturday night by the clerks at the
Crellin hotel. Oakland. nor by her
attorney. Clarence Prowell 1t is be-
lieved that she is in San Francisco
A formal charge OF murder was
placed against Power today.
