FRUIT INSPECTION LAW
IS DECLARED VALID

Montana's Fruit Inspection Law
was upheld by the supreme court to-
day when, in a decision by Justice
Holloway, the judgment of the dis
trict court of Missoula in favor of
Fruit Inspector Edwin Fox was af-
tirmed.
Fox was sued for damages by H.
G. B. Colville, who brought some
fruit to Missoula for shipment which
was destroyed on the grounds it
was affected with scab.
The validity of the statutes for
the regulation of the horticultural
industry was assailed on the follow
ing grounds
"There are not valid police regu-
lations. They lodge in the same Off
Ger judicial and executive powers.
They permit private property to be
taken for private use and for public
use without compensation. Under
their provisions the owner is de-
prived of his property without due
process of law and denied the equal
protection of the laws

CRISLER MURDER TRIAL.

According to the Valley County
News OF Tuesday many cadaverous
phases appeared in the trial of A.
j. Crisler for the murder of julius
Brown, in the district court, during
the last four days.
Introduction of the skull and one
of the badly-broken jaw-bones of
the corpse, assumed by the state to
have been Brown, served as two of
the most hideous evidences of the
chine of which Crisler is accused.
Browns mothers sorrows welled
forth in tears when the counsel for
the state was disclosing these pallid
elements in the circumstantial chain
surrounding the defendant.
Mrs. Brown, however, recovered
her composure by the time she was
called upon the witness stand, and
she responded to questioning re-
garding all these gruesome remind
ers of the tragic manner in which
she believes her son passed from life
with marked stoicism.
Among the states newer elements
of circumstantial evidence, disclosed
since the preliminary trial of the de-
PENDANT, is filled tooth in the jaw
bone OF the corpse. Mrs. Brown
testified that her son had a filled
tooth.
Another of the newer features in
the case was Mrs. Browns testi-
mony that. when in their home in
Washington, her son possessed
leather strap; that she never saw it
after he came to Montana, and that
the strap found around the neck of
the corpse is quite similar to the
strap young Brown had at home.
Indications today were that, al
though it had occupied six days of
the time of the Valley county dis
trict court, the trial would likely ex-
tend another week. Many OF the
states Witnesses, it appeared, we're
yet to be examined.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.

A fellow who gave his name as
John Murray and who was being
held in the old county Jail here on
another charge, was given fifty days
in Judge Brockway's court Monday
morning 4or destroying county prop
erty and Sheriff Shaw took him to
the Valley county Jail at Glasgow
that evening.
When Deputy Henry Nelson came
down to the Jail Sunday morning to
feed the prisoner, Murray was near
ly out of Jail, as during the night
some friend of his had taken him
over a long railroad wrench and he
had all the bars on the west window
nearly off when the deputy arrived
and in another half hour would nc
doubt ave been at liberty. His
hard work awaited him nothing
however, and he was placed in the
cell and closely watched until after
his hearing Monday, when he was
taken to Glasgow as above recorded

MALTA 1O-XORTMAN 3.

Sunday the Zortman ball team
came in to play a matched game
with our home team and were de-
feated by the above score. The boys
from the hills claim they did not
have all lneir players with them
but they put up a good game as it
was. In the first OF the game Fort
man started off good and if they
could have kept their lead might
have finished with the winning end.
The day was rather cold and this
kept some of the crowd at home,
but there was a goodly number OF
cars filled with fans parked around
the ball park so there was plenty of
roofing for the home team.
Malta played with their old time
vim and some of the old time players
were back in their old positions and
played as good ball as one could
wish for. Pitcher Fox was in the box
while Happy Parker held down the
receiving end. All of the team
played good ball and the game was
we'll enjoyed by all present.
The ZOrtman boys are a fine
bunch of fellows and we were glad
to have them come in for a game.
Monday they went to Dodson and
won game from the Dodson team
by a score of Is to 16. The Fort
man boys returned to Malta Tuesday
and left for their home that after
noon

MAY CJRTAEL WAITER IN
MILK RIVER PROJECT.

If the International boundary COM
mission sustains the contention of
the Canadian authorities, the am
CUNT of water available for the Milk
River reclamation project will be
considerably curtailed. Just how
serious the curtailment will be has
not been determined, for at the hear
ing before the commission in St.
Paul last week, but little evidence
covering this point was adduced.
Acknowledgement D. M. Kelly and
State Engineer A W. Mahon repre-
S. Gum of Helena, appeared for the
Canadian Pacific Railroad project,
which has an irrigation project on
the Canadian side of the boundary.
Both Canada and the federal gov
eminent were also represented.
The question under consideration
was the construction to be placed
upon the treaty between this coun-
try and Canada in reference to the
waters of the St. Mary's and Milk
rivers. The Canadians claim the
treaty provides for a distribution
not only of all the waters of the two
streams that cross the boundary
line, but also of all the tributaries.
In other words, that in the distribu-
ton consideration must be given to
the tributaries of the Milk river in
the lower Milk river valley, the wat
ers of which do not enter Canada at
all.
Attorney General Kelly says that
the phraseology of the treaty is UNI
fortunate and that the situation is
not to be regarded lightly.
