The high wind of Wednesday
night was about as strong as is
generally experienced here. Con-
siderable damage was done both
in town and out. One of the big
plate glass in Stanley Scearce's
store broke from the pressure
and fell out, causing a loss of
$50 or more. John J. Rogers re-
ports some "a big trees blown
down on his ranch northwest of
town. He and his wife were
watching the storm when a
tree began to fall directly toward
the house and it frightened his
wife quite badly. Luckily it
missed the house. He says it
will cut 5000 feet of timber.

YECGS BLOW THREE SAFES
IN POISON SUNDAY NIGHT

Yeggmen visited Poison last Sunday
night and blew the safes in the post
office, F. P. Brownies store and in Lam
bert's store. About $4,000 all told
was secured from the postoffice and
Lambert's, but they were unable to Sc
cure entrance to the Browne safe, evil
IDENTIFY being frightened away before
they could fire another shot.
The same ear marks occurred at each
place as were found in Roman when the
Roman Mercantile Co.'S safe was blown,
and it is suspected the same parties did
all the jobs. At the Browne store the
safe had been drilled but owing to the
door being constructed differently than
the others, there being hollow place
between the layers of steel, it was i'm
possible to blow the door and the at
tempt had to be abandoned. Had they
succeeded, the loss to Mr.. Browne
would have been considerable as he had
large amount of money on hand to
cash pay checks.
The other safes were easily opened
and in each case it is said dynamite
was used. No clue could be obtained
as to the perpetrators and no one dis
covered the crimes until about clock
Monday morning when the stores were
o. ened. No one heard the explosions,
so far as learned.

The new internal revenue
measure has passed the lower
house of congress and one of its
provisions hits the state of Mon
tana pretty hard. That is where
it mulcts the mine owners of five
per cent of the gross receipts for
copper extracted. Hon. John NJ.
Evans, the Missoula member of
congress from Montana, made a
vigorous protest against this &C.
ton, but to no avail. On final
passage of this bill he voted for
it, however. Just how a man
can reconcile himself to opposing
a measure one minute and then
voting for it the next, is impos-
sible to conjecture and it should
condemn him with all voters.
The object of the bill is to pro-
vide $3.50, 100000 more revenue,
to the deficit which stares the
treasury in the face at this time.
Four years ago there was an an
nual surplus of over $50, 600, 600
and now it will require a bond
issue to furnish the money to run
the country.
