THE WAY TO HELP
RESERVATION RELIEF

Every farmer and every bust
ness man in town can do the
community a good turn by writ
ing (, letter to some member or
members of the Indian Affairs
committee of the United States
Senate urging them to support
the resolution introduced in the
Senate by Senator Myers and in
the House by Congressman Rid
dick, designed to bring relief to
the Fort Peck Indian reserva-
ton settlers. The resolution in
the Senate has been referred to
the Committee on Indian At
fairs whose membership is
made up largely of western sen
ators, who should naturally hold
kindly feelings toward the set
tiers on western lands. The
fate Of the. measure depends a.
most entirely upon what kind of
a report the committees make
on it, and every letter will have
some influence. The committee
list is as follows:

UNNRITTEN LAW
is UPHELD

The trial Of Walter Swanson
for the murder of his brother,
Theodore, was concluded in
district court at Circle last Wee!.
and the jury returned a verdict
Of not guilty. Counsel for the
defense laid great stress on the
intimate relations alleged be-
tween Theodore and the defend
ants wife. While the court
ruled in admitting evidence and
also in instructing the jury that
such provocation was not sut1i-
Gent to warrant the taking of
life, it appears to have carried
no weight with the jury in
bringing in their verdict.
