His scalp was terribly mangled
and cut from four distinct blows on
the head, apparently from some
heavy bar of metal or a black jack,

The injured man, who had been

Summer School
Well Attended
Fifty-four Teachers Receiving Instruction--State
Superintendent Davee Attends Faculty
Deserves Great Credit

The first Dawson County Teachers
Summer School which opened at the
High School last Wednesday, August
5th, and which will continue until
August 26th., promises to be the
most successful educational event
ever recorded In Eastern Montana.
Fifty-four teachers already have
enrolled from all parts of the county,
which number would have been
greatly augmented had the new
counties of Richland and Wibaux not
made their debut at this time. AS it
Is, the new counties are fairly we'll
represented by Mrs. Maud Wills of
Wibaux and Miss Belle Hoyt of Sid
ney, both ladies. succeeding fairly
we'll in getting some representation
in their respective districts.
State Superintendent OF Schools,
H. A. Davee, visited the High School
Tuesday, and in his address to the
teachers assembled spoke in the
highest terms Of praise Of the Sum-
mer School idea, as against the old
Teachers Institute.
The daily sessions begin at 1880
o'clock in the morning, enabling the
teachers to get in their work before
the heat Of the day. and continuing
until 1890 p. M. There are no
regular classes In the afternoon al
though the students have extra class
es and, of course, have free access TO
the library as we'll as the entire

Bill introduced Protecting
Lifes In Strike Zones

washington, July 27.-Congress-
man John NJ. Evans, of Montana to-
DAY introduced a bill, designed to
make it unlawful to ship "gun men"
or fre arms and ammunition from
one state to another where strike
exists. The bill makes it unlawful
for any railroad or other common
carrier to transport men hired to act
as armed guards or to take guns and
ammunition into any strike zone.
In speaking of the bill today, Mr.
Evans said:-"One of the greatest
sources of trouble and irritation in
industrial disturbances is the dispo-
sition Of employers to import from
other states lot of notorious gun
men to act as guards, deputy sher-
IFS and other peace officers. These
people have nothing in common with
the people of the community into
which they are taken, and often
their chief recommendation is the
fact that they are known to be des-
perate men, handy with a gun, and
often they provoke rather than pre-
vent strife and crime.
Some of the so-called Pinker-
tons, such as the Baldwin -Felts De-
teetive Agency, make a business of
employing and transporting from
place to place where strikes exist
large numbers of these gun men,
taking with them arms and even
rapid fire. machine guns For in
stance, the same men and machine
guns that were used in the West
Virginia eeal strike were used in
the Colorado strike. Each state
should furnish its own peace officers,
and when it cannot, application
should be made to the Federal Gov
erHment. A private army of motor
feus gun men is indefensible."

PROGRESSIVES HERE TO STAY


A very few short years ago, the
average standpat republican would
have secuted the idea of any break
In their ranks which would result in
the formation of political party
with sufficient numbers and prestige
to give them any kind of a fight.
Not only has that occurred since
the AdYenf nf fsthe Progressive party
in the field, but many Offices which
the G. o. P. thought were theirs for
ever have been lanGed by their erst-
while friends and political allies,
and if We read Alright the political
armament, the Progressives are not
only here to stay, but will no doubt
eventually crowd the old republi-
can party entirely out of existence.
Such condition is bound to
come-it is only question Of time.

The telephone company is right in
the middle of one of it's periodical
slumps in service and the kicking is
general and profuse. Everything in the
nature of protest against the service
from an appeal to the state railroad
commission to a personal call by the
chief sufferers on the head officials of
the company in Milwaukee and New
York has been suggested, but a good
stiff kick at the local Office of the COM
pany is as likely to be productive of
results as anything. It is possible that
scme of the bad service complined Of
may be due to the fact that the local
managers have not been informed of
conditions and they should be given
the benefit Of the belief that they are
no more in love with poor service than
the subscribers of the company. Con-
ditions in the city at present strongly
resemble those which Immediately pre-
ceded the formation of the "independ-
ent" telephone company in Kenosha
from which such great things in the
way of improved service and lower
rates were expected and the final out
come of which was general raise of
fifty percent in rates on all classes of
service throughout the city.

JURY RETURNS OPEN VERDICT
Grave Doubts Are Raised as to Wheth-
er or Not Body is That of Alfred
freeman District Attorney Interest
ed Spectator at the Inquest Today.

DR.. G. Windesheim and DR.. George
Pugh, who made post norton ex-
animation of the body of the unknown
man found floating in the Pike River
on last Friday afternoon, brought new
complications into that case this morn
ing when their report showed that the
young man had not died from drown
ing. His lungs contained no water and
there was no other evidence that his
death had been brought by drowning.
On the other hand, the physicians
found nothing which would indicate
that the man was the victim of foul
play. There was a bad mark on the
head just above the left eye, but there
was no fracture of the skull. The
stomach of the man had been entirely
empty and the general appearance of
the organs indicated that he had been
a sufferer from long illness. The
physicians believe that it is possible
that the man may have been delirious
just before his death and they think
it possible that he met death from ex-
haustion during such delirium.
No further facts have been brought
out in the Identification of the body.
j. F. Morgan, who came from Milwau-
kee on Sunday and declared himself
positive that the body was that of Al
fred Freeman, a Milwaukee man, who
disappeared week ago, sent a
letter to the officials this morning in
which he declared that his efforts to
identify jewelry on the clothing of the
man had been in vain. The letter re-
ceived today raised a grave doubt as
to the man being Freeman. The physi-
clans agree that the man had been in
the water but a short time. Coroner
Millager today called a jury to make
an investigation into the death of the
man but there is little evidence to
present to the jury.

the place for holding the state meet
in 1916. Kenosha has been in the field
for the meet for the past two years and
it is declared that lot of the bowlers
in Wisconsin cities are favorable to the
selection of Kenosha as the tournament
city. The decision as to the location
of the next meet will not be made
until January, but the Kenosha bowlers
are not going to lose any time getting

ADJUSTS CLAIMS OF CREDITORS.

In the Kenosha county court this
morning Judge Taylor handed down a
formal decision allowing claims against
the estate of the late Catherine Kaiser,
a former Bristol spinster. The settle
ment of the estate has been of public
interest on account of the fact that the
residue of the estate is to be given to
a Catholic sisterhood for use in estab-
fishing a hospital and should the sis
terhood decline the gift it is to be
turned over to the city of Kenosha.
The claims allowed totaled $2,093.10.
1t is thought that sum close to So, 900
will be left to be turned over for hos
pital purposes. 1t is possible that an
appeal will be taken from the decision
of Judge Taylor in the allowance of
the claims.

"HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS
WHEAT THE RHODE SUNDAY.

"He Fell in Love With His Wife,"
is very simple play; very wholesome
and sweet and clean as breath of
morning air. The play as e whole has
for its obligato the fitting and har-
monious refrain of ''Just a song at
twilight when the lights are low" and
this is the keynote to the motive of the
play, which is love- 1t is a play that
cannot fail to win your sympathies, for
its sentiments, though simple, are lof-
ty; its tone is high, and it is fine ex-
ample of the happiness of contentment
and humility; of how true and honest
love can make even the plainest life
noble and blessed. For married folk
who misunderstood, "He Fell in Love
With His Wife," at the Rhode next
Sunday, afternoon or evening, under
the direction of the United Play Co., is
a new gospel with golden lessons. adv

AS a sample of the viciousness of
the proposed amendments to the con-
stitution of Wisconsin which the peo-
pie will be called to vote on at the ap
preaching election it is worth while to
consider the one to authorize higher
pay for members Of the legislature.
The present pay of legislators is five
hundred dollars per session. The
adoption of the amendment would make
it six hundred dollars per annum,
which woul1 be twelve hundred dollars
per session, though the average voter,
unless his attention were especially
called to the matter, never would think
about that. The evident intent of the
trainers of the amendment was to
phrase it in such way that the size
of the increase would not appear so
large as it really is.--Evening Wiscon-

witness and he testified that an ex.
animation of the lungs showed that the
man must have been dead before he
went into the water, but that other ex-
aminations failed to reveal the pos.
sibility of death from foul play. The
condition of the lungs, indicated that
the man had been suffering from pneu-
monia and DR.. Pugh declared that he's
thought it very probable that the man
had died from exhaustion following
long, illness and that it was possible
that he had been walking along the
roadway and had fallen into the river
just before death came. The jury re-
turned an open verdict and the dis
trict attorney who was present at the
inquest is making further investiga-
ton into the case.

Any one who has any influence with
the foreign element of the city should
use it to persuade those of its members
who hold hunting licenses that all hunt
ing expeditions should be abandoned
for the rest of the fall. Any party that
goes out now is looking for trouble
rather than for game and the worst
feature of the situation is that in the
present temper of the farmers they are
almost certain to get it. The farmers
will be keeping close watch on all of
these "hunting" parties from now on
and they viii have something WITH
them besides opera glasces while they
are doing it, too.

Action of Small Creditors Of
Refrigerator Co. Threat
ems Proposed Settlement
SURPRISE TO The ATTORNEYS

That little creditors had "gummed
the cards in the settlement of the
financial affairs of the United Refriger-
ator Company, was admitted today by
officials of the company, but these
same officials declared that they did
not believe that the bankruptcy pro
ceedings started in Milwaukee on
Monday would result in the overthrow
of the plan recently made by the ere
ditors to operate the plant under a ere
ditor IS committee. The receivers, John
D. Rowland and D. E. Calender, both
of Racine, are said to have been sug-
gested by the banks interested in the
continued operation of the plant and
the payment Of its debts and it is be-
ieved that under the order of the
court these men will work in harmony
with the creditors committee in the eff
fort that is being made to bolster up
the company and keep it on an operat-
ing basis. Attorneys in Kenosha ex-
pressed great surprise when they heard
Of the fling of the involuntary petit
ton in bankruptcy on Monday after
noon and they expressed especial sur
prise that the Chicago Mirror and Art
Glass Company, which had been lead
er in the meetings of the creditors,
should have been party to the de-
mand for receivership for the COM
pany. The other two companies had
not shown willingness to accept the
proposition Of the creditors committee.
Attorneys who have kept in close touch
with the examination into the final
condition of the company do not be-
lieve that the creditors will receive as
much under a receivership as they
would have received under the com
promise offered by the creditors com
mittee Of course under the order Of
the court the receivers will be supreme
in handling the business of the plant,
but with the receivers friendly to the
big interests, which have declared for
a continued operation of the plant it is
not thought that the plan recently for
mulated will be interfered with.

The worst fears of the people who
nave foreseen that the continual
clashes between the farmers and the
alleges "hunters who have been in
yading their lands must ultimately re-
suit in serious trouble, were realized
Sunday when farmer who dared to
interfere with one Of these hunting"
parties, was shot down in his own
dooryard. The crimes charged against
these invaders Of the farm lands now
pass from the class of minor offenses
such as trespass, malicious mischief
and petit larceny to murder plain and
straight One thing is certain as re-
suit Of this murder. The conditions
which led up to it and of which the
farmers of this county have complain
cd continuously but Intellectually for
the past few years, will no longer be
tolerated by them. They are law abid-
ing men, but their patience is about
exhausted. From the remarks made by
some of them while the search for the
murderer was going on, it is evident
that they believe their lives and their
property to be in jeopardy and it
would surprise no one if they started
in Immediately to do little regulating
on their own account They are de-
termined to stop the invasion of their
lands by these hunting parties which
have proved a constant menace to their
lives and property. They do not know
just how to go about it at present, but
they are going to do It, Be sure of
that. The thing for the rest of the
people in this section of the state to
do is to give them every help in carry
ing out whatever plans they may make
and the best way to make start in
the right direction is to demand a law
restricting the issue of hunting licenses.
We take it for granted that all of
these men out patrolling the woods and
fields every Sunday by the hundreds
have licenses, there having been no ar
rests by the game wardens for some
time for violation of the fish and game
laws in this county When Charles
Pfennig was in the legislature he in
troduced a measure providing that
hunting licenses could ony be is
sued to full citizens who were known
to be men of good character and re-
sponsible in every way, but for some
reason the bill failed to become a law.
If such a law had been in force and
had been enforced strictly in this
county in all probability the tragedy
of Sunday would never have taken
place. law along similar lines should
be demanded from the next legislature
by the people of this county. Too
many Of the foreign born who are
never allowed to possess any kind of a
gun in their own countries believe that
the possession of a hunting license
gives them the privilege TO go any,
where and kill anything that moves
and they resent any attempt to inter-
fere with what they consider thsir
rights under the license. The murder
OF Sunday is one of the results of the
utter disregard of these people Of all
property rights. The conditions which
led up to this murder must be chang
!, on that the law abiding people of
this county are united
