New Montana Laws in Effect.

Three new laws that were enacted
by the Thirteenth assembly take ef-
feet with the new year. These are
the blue sky law, the net container
provision of the weights and meas
nres' law. and the pure seed law.
Tie first is calculated to protect in
vestors from the operations Of pro-
moters of worthless companies and
sellers of unreliable securities; the
second is designed to protect consnm
ers by giving them fun weight, and
the third is intended to insure pure
seed to Montana growers. 49,
The provisions of the weights and
measures law require all packages or
container goods to be mark ed so AS
to show their net contents. >ecre-

Faynt Murdered.

In a drunken braWl out near Brook
side OF the reservation II fellow by
the name of Antoine Faynt was killed
by a breed by the name OF Ohlerking
last M onday night and as far as we
nave been able to learn no arrests
have been made and as it happened
on tile resel ,;;tlOll it will be looked
aftef'by the federal authorities.
Eaynt and a boy We're alone in the
formers shack when OhIerkinu and
another breed allied and started some
trouble, and got the worst of it in IL
light. Looking for revenge they went
away and secured an AK and 81 dgt
hammer returning and renewed the
fight. Faynt defended himself and
boy with a stove poke for time
when Ohlerking took it away from
him and struck him across the head
fracturing the skull and intlicting Il
wound from which lie died a few
hours later. DIR. Clay was called to
the scene of the trouble from this
place but the injured man died a
short time after his arrival.
AS we understand the trouble ar use
over the man Faynt reporting the
two murderers for cattle stealing and
to make a bad matter worse, they
proceeded to get drunk and com
mltted q far more serious crime. The

the question Of killing but also take
up the matter of giving an indian

no little comotion in that neiglbor-
hood.

The state game warden reports nu-
merous applications for permits to
trap beaver, The applicants claiming
the animals are causing damage to
their property. Mr.. Dellart, being
unable to decide whether the COM
plants concerning damage are bona
tide, or whether they are made with a
view of securing the rich pelts of the
beaver. has turned the matter over to
his deputies. Beaver pelts cannot be
sold in Montana under the laws, and
there is minimum fine of 800 fine
for each of1ense. AS a result of this
protection, beaver are increasing rap
idly in the state.

The Taxpayers Protective league,

pose OF perpetuating machine govern
ment and saving the mayors scalp
by the defeat OF the charter, has con-
tinued it's course of Misrepresentation
by mailing broadcast document full
OF false reasoning and malicious mis-
statements.
Like other documents of the league,
the pamphlet bears the union label
Of the printer, but not his name or
number, so there is no means OF idenr
tifying the shop which turned out the
work--which is well ,cr that shop,
union printers declare, since the
Typographical union has Endorsed the
charter and it's members look upon
the printing OF the Taxpayers league
document as little short OF treason.
The pamphlet goes so far in its
lying absurdity as to say that Sunday
baseball Is threatened by the new
charter, though a thorough search or
the contents OF the pamphlet fails to
disclose any specific argument bearing
on this point.
The pamphlet is full Of nonsense
about the probability OF a stupendous
tax rate-an argument that has been
refuted time and again and has been
shown TO be preposterous.
The Detroit Typographical union
has unanimously Endorsed the charter,
and has sent a letter to all its mem

There is every reason. especially

ton of the charter and practically
