WOUNDED BY A SET GUN.

A boy by the name of George era
mer, of the town of Weston, was shot
Wednesday near Kelly. He and his
brother were riding past the farm of
William Schmitt of Rothschild. No
ticing tree filled with apples, they
stopped and went inside to get some
to eat; in doing so, George touched a
wire which discharged set gun; the
contents of the gun entered the boys
hip and arm, badly wounding him,
Schmitt admitting having set the gun
to protect his orchard. He must have
known that no one could have gone
in after apples without being SHOT.
1t was a dastardly thing to do, and
Schmitt should be made to pay the
extreme penalty Cramer is getting

WHAT YOU CAN DO IN MONTANA

Butte, Mont, National Forum
Montana has the distinction Of being
the wettest state in the union. And
why not?
Out here in Montana man can
take a drink when he feels like it.
He goes in at the front door. He
does not have to be hypocrite and
sneak around the back way. He does
not have to patronize the bootlegger
and the speak-easy. Montana is the
most prosperous state in tbs union.
The wages of workingmen are the
highest. Montana is liberal In every
way. Everybody believes in liberty
and freedom. The people Of Mon
tana are big-hearted, whole-souled
and generous. There is less poverty,
less pauperismI less prostitution and
! less prohibition than there is in any
Of the bootlegging anti-saloon states
where hypocrites thrive. The honor
pf women is cherished and their vir-
.ue protected to degree beyond that
IN any prohibition state. There is
less drunkenness than there is in
prohibition Maine.
That's why the state is the wettest
state in the union. That's why it is
going to stay the wettest while the
fullest liberty and individual freedom
compatible with good government
prevails.
