Desperadoes and their like will find
it to their advantage to stay away
from Valley county, if they will take
the incident which happened Tuesday
near Hinsdale as an omen of what
will happen to them in case they at
tempt to match their wits or "nerve"
against the strong arm of the law.
Deputy Sheriff Jack Teal performed
his duties we'll on Tuesday. He had
orders to arrest man and bring him
to Glasgow. He knew that the mis-
sion was one which would probably
mean the death of the hunter or the
hunted. He found his man, told him
what was what, and when in defiance
of the law he attempted to pull his
gun, Jack shot. AS result, Jay
Clarke, a desperate, wanted in many
counties in Montana and North Da-
kota, and in Canada has gone to his
reward.
! Monday night Sheriff Powell re-
ceived word from Hinsdale that man
he was after was around there. Moth
ing was said who the man was but
only that it was a desperate and a
gun man.
Going over his list of criminals who
were at large, the Sheriff decided that
it must be Clarke, alias Bill Neuman,
alias Billy Raymond, who was wanted
in Phillips county, and also by the
Canadian authorities for various Of
fences. The sheriff of Crosby, N. D.,
also wanted him for breaking Jail and
warned the officers to take no chances
as he was bad man.
Deputy Sheriff Jack Teal was sent
on the mission, and was told by the
sheriff to take no chances in making
the arrest. Teal refused any assist,
ance, and said he could handle it alone
Tuesday morning Deputy Teal left
for Hinsdale and on reaching there
gained the information that the mar
he wanted was out at the Ella Powell
place. Securing team from Charles
Farmer, who went along as driver, anc
deputizing r. D. Harden to make the
trip with him, Teal started out.
Shortly before arriving at the Ella
Powell place, they saw man or
horseback riding along the section

$40 ACRE BILL
NOW EFFECTIVE
President Signed Measure Which
Will Affect Thousands of
Acres
FILINGS NOW BEING MADE
Big Rush of Settlers to State Fore
seen. All Available Land Will
Be Settled Up

The signing of the GAO grazing
homestead bill by President Wilson
Saturday will mark the beginning of
another period of development for the
state of Montana.
Thousands of acres will be affected
by the new law and it is expected that
thousands of settlers will be attracted
to eastern and northern Montana by
the liberal terms Of the measure.
In the history of lobbies in the city
of Washington, it is said that none
can in any way compare with the
powerful lobby that has been lowering
over congress during the sixty-fourth
session. This lobby was composed Of
the big cattle and sheep barons or
their representatives who were de-
termined to defeat the "Magna Charta
of the West'-the 640-acre stock
farming homestead bill.
1t was the biggest and most power
full lobby ever assembled to use "influ-
ence" with reference to the disposition
of the public domain, with the possible
exception of the cattle baron lobby
that was maintained for 40 years by
stockmen of Old Mexico and Texas in
an effort to keep the Oklahoma coun-
try from homestead settlement.
A fight similar to that made on the
herd law was waged against the GAO
acre stock raising homestead bill,
which is for the benefit of the settler
and the little stockman.
Millions of acres of lands in Color
ado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Idaho,
Utah, Nevada, Montana and Arizona
are now open subject to entry under
the bill.
There is nothing to keep prospec-
tive settler from appearing before the
district land office or before any
United States commissioner in the
land district in which these tracts are
located and making filing for one of
> these homesteads, provided the appli-
. cation is accompanied by the proper
corroborative affidavit in duplicate,
> showing that the land desired is be-
lieved designated as available to set
tlement under the 640-acre homestead
bill.
Rules governing the 640acre claims
are as follows:
First-Lands chiefly valuable for
grazing and forage crops.
Second-Lands that do not contain
. merchantable timber.
Third-Lands that are not suscepti-
, BILE to irrigation from any known
. source of water supply and are of
such character that GAO acres are rea-
sonably required for the support of a
} family.
When an application, accompanied
by such affidavit, is filed in the local
land office in the district where 64O-
acre homestead selection has been
, made, Immediately this tract is with
drawn from disposition, entry or sale,
on the application of any other person.
The department of the interior then
passes upon the affidavit and appli-
5 cation.
E Therefore, the first in point of time
| is the first in point of right. All per-
. sons desiring to take advantage of the
64O-acre law by which the government
gives the settler square mile of
grazing land are advised to get busy
and make selections and applications

building, although the fire had gained
such headway that it was impossible
to save any of the contents and these
were practically destroyed, some by
fire and others ruined by the smoke
and water.
The fire originated, it is thought
in the bathroom, and had made such
start before it was discovered that
it was indeed fortunate that the occu-
pants were able to escape unhurt.

Association Opposedto Uni

Attack on Fatherhood.

Indignant over the alleged use of her
name and that of the National Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
without permission, to further a bill
described as "feministic" and reflect
ing on fatherhood, Mrs James w.
Wadsworth.. Jr.. wife of the senior
senator from New York, has with
drawn the antl-suffrage organization
of which she is president from MEM
bership in the National Council of wo-
men. which presented this bill at re-
cent hearing.

In Withdrawing from the National
Council of Women, Mrs. Wadsworth
sends the following statement to Mrs.
Philip North Moore. of St Louis, pres
ident of the council:
"It Is with deep regret that must
inform you that feministic tendencies

Gil of Women make 1t impossible for

Not only has the National Council
Of Women, allowed its official organ.

piece Of the most radical wing of the
suffragists. the Woman's party. but
without any notification I find the
name Of the National Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage, and my own
as president. used without permission
to further a bill recently introduced
in Congress, the hearing on which de-
veloped such feministic theories as
that the father Is only a casual par
ent.' that the wife should select her
citizenship independent of that OF her
husband. and that the citizenship Of
the child should be determined by
that Of the mother.
"At the hearing on this resolution
Oh. r. 4049. introduced by Miss RAN
kin, of Montana), before the Com
mittee on immigration and Naturali-
zation, the name of the National AS
sociation opposed to Woman Suffrage
was presented by the National Council
of Women as one OF the organizat tions
apparently favoring this bill. This
Use OF our name was unauthorized. 1t
has been called to our attention that
the name Of our organization was
used in this connection either to dis
guise the feministic features OF the
bill. or to put Us in the inconsistent
position Of apparently approving rad
ical feminist Hesitation. In either
case it is now impossible for us to
continue membership in the National
Council Of Women.
I'VE sincerely regret that the Ma
tional Council of Women has appar-
emily deserted the ideal OF represent
ing the normal American woman. and
has become. 1t seems. another instru-
Iaent in the hands of feminists and
those who seek TO stir UP sex-antag-
onism and family division to secure
political power"
