The local exemption board au- nounced yesterday afternoon that SiN rcgistrantS had had their deferred classiications cancelled and had been placed in Class l ready for immc- diate military service. In all of the two hundred odd cases examined during the week only these six were found not quite mp to the scratch. In the case of the six mentioned the board found upon reviewing the mat ter. that the circumstances which had originally led to the men securing their deferred clasSihcation> were not now operative, and that there was no reason why the rcgistrant, should not be put into Gas, l.

MOUNTAIN LIONS KILLED;

 A GOOD BUSINESS IN
 HUNTING DOWN BEASTS WHICH KILLED CATTLE.
lFrom Tncsday.s Daily.O

. lOiiA AiNCNAfRN 'NsRaAf"f
 Five mountain lions have been killed recently along the Santa Maria river which brought over Sl,250 to Joe Shutters and Jesse Moore, two expert hunters and trappers who fol- low this line of business.
 Payment was made under pool agreement by Mullen & Shultz, the D. G. Cattle Co.,, the Arizona Cattle Co. the O. X. Cattle Co, and group of four individuals, each contribut- ing S25O. These lions had been kill ing range cattle for several months, and the losses have reached to a sum many times more than what was paid. The hunt is to continue as lions arc reported 10 be this year more numerous and daring than ever known. Ono killed measured over ten feet from tip to tip, and is said to be the largest ever destroyed in this country. It put up good fight and after being wounded attacked Moore. who was only saved by his partner with a well aimed shot, when it fell within few feet of him. Its age was computed at over thirty years and for over twenty years 1t had been marauding that region, killing cattle valued at many thous- andS of dollars.
 MI the pclts have been donated by Shutters and Moore to the bounty pool rangcmcu and will be mounted by taxidermist. The success of this range cleanup of lions Is shown by the liberal payment made by those who are so vitally interested in hay ing the country cleared of these dcs- tructivc beasts.

K|NGNAN FAILS
 IN EFFORT ID GET HOSPITAL
(F-om Tuesdays Dailv)


 The cnterprising city of kingman, over in Mohavo county. has just been handed a big bunch of disappOint- ment by the war department, the hunk of gloom consisting in the re- fusal of the war department to es- .ablish a convalcscent hospital in that city. For several weeks King man had been kidding itself into be- licving that for some unknown req son the war department was going to put up a great hospital in that part of the State and send thither a good many of the incapacitated sol diers for treatment until they were either able to return 10 the ranks or to so to thcir homes.
 However, 1t seems that the war department had figured out that the opening of the big hospital out at Fort Whipplc ought to be sufficient to take care of all the sick soldiers in this part Of the country, and in a letter directed to Senator Ashurst, who was acting in behalf of the Kiugmanitcs, the surgeon generals department has the following to say regarding the Kingman proposal and the opening of Fort Whipple: Hon. Henry r. Ashurst,
 United States Senate,
 Washington, D. C.
 "Sir: The surgeon general directs me to reply to the telegram from Nineuau. Nriz., which you presented to the surgeon general this morning.

.HOLD-UP MAN IS ARRESTED BY
 POLICEMAN
OFFICER MCMAHON MAKES A CAPTURE NEAR DEPOT AFTER VICTIM FIGH TS OFF ARMED ROBBER WHO HAD ATTACKED HIM.
(From Tuesdars Daily.)

Night Officer Tom McMahon cap tured a hold-up man late Sunday night after the fellow had made an unsuccessful attempt to rob man in the alley back of the old Depot saloon on North Cortcz street. The robber caught his victim, whose name was not learned, in the alleyway and thrust a .3S revolver into the latter's ribs. The victim instead of submit ting to the hold-up mans demands, grabbed the gun and attempted to wrest 1t from his opponents hands. This he failed to do, although he did put up such a fight that the hold up became frightened and ,ran.
 The victim of the hold-up opera tions reported the matter to Officer McMahon. and the latter began a search. Just as the night train was pulling out for the north, a Mexican ran out from the Valdrini hotel and attempted to get aboard. McMahon caught him, and the fugitive proved to be the hold-up, being identified by the man whom he had attempted to rob. It was found that the man had a room at the Valdrini, and the place was searched. The crooks gun was found hidden under a heavy piece of furniture and the suit of clothing which he had worn at the time Of the hold-up were found spread out under the carpet on the floor. He was identified as being a resident of Phoenix.

JUDGES.

II is The Judge, not the jndge's
robe, that commands respect OF
contempt. as he deserves.
There has been altogether too
much awesomc dignity attached
by Judges to their office.
Too many people are prone to
believe in the infallibility Of
judges and too likely to forget
that they are human, like the rest
of us. There are too many judges
who frame decisions to accord
with their own prejudlces, who
forget that public opinion Is
something to take cognlzancc OF,
especially when the life Of the
nation hangs in the balance. The
welfare Of a people, fighting for
their honor and existence may
not be ignored by a Judge whose
mind is immersed in the mice,
sharp outlets Of the law"
We are not now referring to
the gun-toter from Rosebud Coun-
ty, an obviously unfit man for the
bench or for citizenship, and one
that should be quickly thrust
from the sight Of decent men and
women.

"DIXIE"

Dixie" was first played by a band
on a public occasion 81 years ago,
when jefferson Davis was inaugurated
president of the Confederacy at Mont
gomery, Ala. AS a vaudeville song 1t
had been dashed off in a few minutes
by Daniel Decatur Emmett to fill q
gap in his New York program. but it
remained for Herman Arnold. a band
leader at Montgomery. to orchestrate
what was to become the great patri-
otto song of the south. When Pro-
fessor Arnold was asked for a band
program for the inaugural OF Davis,
he decided to arrange Dixie" for the
various instruments. On the morning
of February IS, 1861, when the presi-
dental carriage, drawn by six gray
horses. swung into place in the inau-
gural procession to the Alabama state
house, Arnold's band led off with the
strains of Dixie Wild cheers
greeted the air and the song was re-
peated many times that day. In 4
little while every army of the south :
land was marching to the tune.

WARMING UP.

4 very excellent sign Of the
sound civic spirit in our commu-
nifty is early talk concerning cam
didates for the school board.
Life in Missoula for the ap-
preaching few weeks would be
rather dull without the exciting
diversion of school election
campaign. 1t carries more inter
est than that Of the presidency
and we quite welcome its return,
for the general benefit and enter
tainment that come from a Wig
orous shaking up of the commu-
nifty and the opportunity that it
offers for everybody to speak his,
or her mind. The sore spots aft
erWard soon heal and the trustees
are always put on finer metal
when they know that the woods
are filled with sharpshootcrs,
waiting for a good mark.
The cause Of this deep reach
ing interest in the school election
is easily understood. The school
is the one place in a community
where all interests meet OH COM
mon ground. The parents are III
terested in the education Of their
children; the taxpayers arc in
terested in taxes and all good citi-
zens are, or should be, interested
in the training Of the citizens that
are to come. Everybody is inter-
ested in a kid, good or bad. The
school teachers are an important
element as an uplifting force in
the community. Poor schools
will kill the progress of city
like ours, and by the same token
good schools will push it along.
Never before was the school sc
vital an element in a democrac,
and in the cultivation Of true
community spirit. We would like
e see this idea broaden in Mis-
koula. The school house shoult

With nothing to quench his awful

Served with things both dainty and

Served with everything but things to

And I'd make him bed OF silken

With covers of down and fillets Of lace.
And downy pillows piled in place:
Yet when to it's comfort he would
| yield,
1t would stink with the rot ofthe bat
tie field,
And blood and bones and brains Of men
Should cover him. smother him. and
His pillows should cling with the rot
Cloy from the grave OF a soldier boy,
And while Gods stars their vigils keep
And while the waves the white sands
sweep
He should never, never, never sleep.
I would build him a castle beside the
| sea,
AS lovely a castle as ever could be.
Then I'd show him a ship from over
the sea,
AS fine a ship as ever could be.
Laden with waters cold and sweet.
Laden with everything good to eat:
Yet scarce does she touch the silver
sands.
Scarce may she reach his eager hands.
Than a hot and hellish moulten shell
Should change his heaven into hell
And though he'd watch on the wave

Our Lusitania would rise no more.
In mo Mans Land" where the Irish

I'd start the kaiser a private hell:
I'd jab him. stab him, and give him

I'd march him out where the bravo

Out past the lads they crucified.

I'd make him sing in stirring man
