MATTHEWS FUNERAL
Is HELD AT DARBY

Darby. June 23.-(Special.)--Geo
a. Matthews died here last
Wednesday and was buried in Green
wood cemetery Saturday afternoon.
He had been in the Bitter valley about
30 years and was known by all the
oldtimers in the county. having fol-
lowed surveying and the work of an
expert accountant. He was a man
possessed of brilliant mind and
scholarly attainments, being gradu-
ate of one of the large colleges of
Tennessee, and was a fine Latin and
Greek scholar.
When the Northern Pacific railroad
was being built he was one of the civil
engineers through Montana and WASH
ington. having had to leave the east,
where he was practicing law, for an
outdoor life. being threatened with tu-
berculosis, with which nc finally died.
1t Is doubtful If there could in Mon.
tana be found a man more extensively
read. with a better knowledge of the
laws OF the world, both ancient and
modern, than George Matthews, and
he was a profound Biblical scholar.
Had be not been compelled by i'll
health to leave his law practice in
the east, where he had presented sew
eral cases to the Supreme Court of
the United States, he would doubtless
have been known as one of the great
men Of the nation.

Deputy United States Mar
shall in County to Hunt
Out "Slackers."
OFFERS LAST CHANCE
Men Registering Willingly
Now Will Go Free, Of
ficial Declares.

Final steps tending towards the reg
filtration Of any eligible male residents
Of Montana who failed to register for
selective conscription, will be taken
this week by United States Marshal
Joseph L. Asbridge and his forces.
Deputy United States Marshal J. w.
Rtc1tman arrived in Missoula yester-
day to take charge Of the work in
this county. Mr.. Hickman will con-
duct check on the county registra-
ton lists, and will make an effort to
ascertain the names of all men who
have evaded registration. BY means OF
q close check Of the election registra-
ton lists and through personal inves-
tigation. Mr.. Hickman expects to round
up all 'slackers" In Missoula county.
The county officers and the municipal
police will assist the deputy marshal
in this work.
Another Chance Offered.
Any men who have evaded registra-
ton will still have an opportunity to
place their names on the lists without
being subject to prosecution. In cases
where men have wilfully refused to
register. and continue in that refusal
they will be prosecuted. Men who have
failed through neglect, or because they
absented themselves expecting to
evade registra ton. will be allowed to
register when taken into custody and
then released.
Prosecution for Stubborn.
All persons whose failure to
register is due to inatteption or to
lack Of information or understanding,
will be released as soon as they have
registered. All those whose failure is
due to recalcitrance or to wilfull dis
obedience. and who continue in their
refusal. will be arrested and bound
over to the federal court for trial.
Cases of this kind will be handled
with great dispatch in the courts, and
will be given preference before other
cases.
Has No Draft Information.
Mr.. Hickman stated that he was not
authorized to give out any Information
in regard to the date OF drafting or
the procedure to be followed by the
government, but said that the govern
y
look up all registration "slackers' i'm.
mediately.
Many Sudden Farmers.
Unique instances of attempts to
evade registration and claim exemp-
tion from draft are told by the mar
shall. who has been investigating such
cases for the past three weeks. Many
moved from one place to another on
registration day, while there was a
general exodus to the farm, a number
Of metropolitan toilers moving to the
country for a day or two in order that
they might claim exemption as farm
laborers.
It Is believed that there are few
cases of non.registration In Missoula
county, as the sheriffs force rounded
up all known slackers.
