Helena, March 1e.--(special.)-It

Helena, March 19.-(Special.)-It
is learned here tonight that the
kiley boxing law will be at once
challenged under the referendum
provisions Of the state constitution.
Petitions for that purpose are now
in the hands of the printers, and
will be sent broadcast over the
state for circulation within 48
hours. Those who have the mat
ter in hand assert their confidence
in getting the signatures needed to
make the law imperative until
finally passed on by a popular
vote two years hence. They indi-
cate a possible purpose of appealing
to the governor for an extension of
an additional 80 days if, when the
first 80 days given them by him
are about to expire, they are able
to make such a showing as will
convince Governor Stewart that the
securing of the full number of
names needed to make the law in
operative can be had within a rea-
sonabIe time.

HELENA, June 2l.-The government
lost out here in the federal u to-
day In it's endeavor to obtain land on
the Blackfeet reservation for reser.
voir purposes or the St. Mary's pro-
jet by a withdrawal order. Judge
Bourquin decided in favor of the
plaintiffs in q suit brought by David
E. LaBreche and G. W. Cooke
against the United States and II. N.
Savage. The plaintiffs are wards of
the government who had selected the
land in question as part of their allot-
ments, but before they obtained the
trust patents a withdrawal order was
entered.
The court holds: "Thst D plaintiffs
selections for allotments are valid of
date not later than July, 1909; that the
attempted withdrawal and alton
of lands for reservoir purposes is
void; that plaintiffs are respectively
allottees and owners of the lands Sc.
