STATE FINALLY SQUARE
ON ITS BOUNTY CLAIMS
Time Was When Four to Five Years
Was Required to Col
lect Money Due.

Helena.-When the state of Montana
last week paid bounty claims aggregat-
ing s2O,47S it was the first time In the
history of the commonwealth that
claims for the death of predatory ami
mails were up to date. w. ]. McFat-
ridge, clerk of the state board of e:s-
aminers, and his assistant, Lawrence
Kelly, upon discovering the money
was available to pay all claims up to
June 1, determined to wipe them all
off the books, and got the matters in
shape so the board of examiners could
approve the claims.
Time was when bounty claim pay
ments ran four and five years behind
and claims were as deprecated as
Bolsheviki currency. ScaIpers, how
ever, would buy these claims In, pay
ing from 10 to SO cents on the dollar,
and eventually they received their
money plus interest. The story Is told
that two former Helena newspaper
men who are rated at over 100000
each, got their start while covering
the state capitol building. Bounty
Cfdlf0S HuQ HOI Dccu pdlu LII yCuic,
and one Of the newspaper men learned
that in the course of the next three
months a large number of claims
would be paid off. He tipped off his
fellow and they borrowed and begged
every cent they could raise and bought
bounty warrants and trebled their
money when the claims were paid.
There has been a big improvement
in the bounty business in the. state
within the past few years. The first
big Improvement came when the legis-
lature amended the law and levied
special tax upon livestock to create
fund for the payment of bounty claims
and the eradication of livestock dis
eases. This assisted the financial end,
and then there was a big drop in the
number of bounty claims filed when
the board of examiners adopted the
policy of allowing no claim unless it
was approved by the state livestock
It's stock inspectors and
detectives examine doubtful cases and
have practically eliminated fraudulent
bounty work. 1t is said that previ-
Ously large numbers of claims were
received for the slaughter of coyotes
and wolves that had been killed in
states paying a lesser bounty than did
this state, the pelts being shipped to |
Montana.

SENT TO PEN FOR BRUTAL
TREATMENT OF LITTLE BOY
Billings Couple Gets From One to Two
Years.-Second Degree As
sault Was Charge.

Billings.-An indeterminate peniten-
tiary sentence of from one to two
years was the punishment decreed by
the jury in the case of Jack and
Bertha Newsome, convicted of assault
in the second degree because of their
mistreatment of their 3-year-old adopt
ed son. The jury deturned it's verdict
after celebrating IA hours.
The court has the privilege of lower
ing the sentence fixed by a jury but
in this case the judge did not alter
the recommendation and fixed the SEN
tence at one to two years.
The Newsomes were charged with
having cruelty whipped and abused
the child and to have left him in a
room alone tied under a bed while
they were away for several hours Sat
urday night, June 1. A neighbor, ]. s.
O'Brien, testified to having found the
baby tied under the bed about z 80
in the evening; that he united him and
put him in bed, then sought for the
humane officer, later going to the po-
lice station. Mrs. O'Brien brought the
word to the police station after 10
o'clock that the child was being killed.
The O'Briens and Police Sergeant
Terrell again went to the Newsome
room where they found the child tied
in a chair with heavy strap, stock
ing and a strip of cloth, the youngster
being in an unconscious condition and
drenched with water. Mr.. and Mrs.
Newsome We're arrested Immediately.
The boys father is said to be in

How Old Are You
BY Your Hair?

You may be thirty in years, but
If you are bald-headed, gray, or
your hair is dry, brittle, scraggly and
ugly-looking, people will surely take
you to be many years older.
When your hair becomes faded,
dry, streaked and scraggly, when 1t
falls out badly and new hair cannot
grow, the roots should be immedi-
ately vitalized and properly nour-
ished. To do this quickly, safely
and at little expense, there is moth
ing so effective as Partisan sage
Qiquid form) which you can get at
Kennedy's Drug Store and all good
drug and toilet counters.
It's guaranteed to abolish dan
druff-stop scalp itch and falling
hair and promote a new growth or
money refunded. It's in great de-
mand by discriminating women be-
cause it makes the hair so soft, lus-
trous, easy to arrange attractively
and appear heavier than it really is.
A massage with Partisan sage is
real delight-easy to use, not
sticky or greasy, and deIicately per-
fumed-an antiseptic liquid free
from dangerous ingredients and
guaranteed not to color the hair or
scalp. If you want good looking
hair and plenty of it, by all means
use Partisan saga little attention
now insures beautiful hair fer years
to come.-adv.

! My taxi whirled up to the station
| and ! flung three dollars at the driv-
er. The meter registered ninety
cents-but Anne, the practical. had
no time for change!
1t was eight minutes past two by
the station clock. If 1 could reach
Jim in time, the driver had earned
! his enormous tip. Across the great
waiting room L dashed, and out to-
ward the train-shed. The gate to
the 2:15 train was open. There were
still a few strangers going in. The
guard stopped me.
Ticket, Madame!" he demanded
ineXorably.
L peered over his shoulder--and
for one triumphant second 1 almost
blessed Jim's lameness. 1t had
slowed his progress and he was
just leaving the last step and turn

jot for the angry protests of the
guard.

My husband stopped, turned in
puzzled wonder, looked up the
stairs and saw me standing there
half distraught.
1t was 2.10. In five minutes his
train would go. Jim spoke to some
me, then turned and came up the
stairs.
"Anne! What's happened?" he
cried anXiously as he passed tt,e
guard and pushed me back through

ing to enter.
Unable to answer I stood gasping
for breath.
Jim's face hardened into a mask
of sternnesS which l realized was
covering anger:
What docs this mean?"
81 had to come-Jim you can't
have anything to do with Snedden
& Company. You can't"
Jim turned as if to brush me aside
and to pass through the gate again.
Did You hear me, Jimmie boy ?
They aren't-straight."

partially as if the whole thing ap-
piled to some one else rather than
to him. Then Jim went to a tele-

line.
