STATE INSTITUTIONS
SHORT OF RTTHDINCS

Prof. Lewis M. Shines of the state
university law school was in Glas-
gov Tuesday while on tour of high
school visitation in this part of the
state. He arrived here Monday eve
ming from Malta and is spending the
entire week visiting high schools in
this vicinity.
In speaking of the financial meas
ures for the university which are to
be submitted to the voters next fall
namely, the special tax of 11a mills
for university maintenance and the
bond issue for the university building
programme stated that the need for
these measures is very urgent. "Ow-
ing to the war and other unusual con-
ditions, the university's building pro-
gram" he said, "is fully ten years
behind time. During the past twelve
years the state university at Missou-
la has had only one new permanent
building, yet its attendance increased
from 1873 nine years ago to an atten-
dance of 800 this last winter. The
law school is conducted in the base
ment of the library, and the schools
of journalism and forestry are con-
Quoted in temporary frame buildings.
Similar facts could be presented
with reference to the other branches of
the university at Bozeman, Dillon and
Butte. In the meantime the atten-
dance is increasing, and no doubt next
fall will see the largest enrolment
in the history of the university.
1t is up to the people of Montana
to see to it that the institutions of
higher education for their boys and
girls are properly supported. Mon
tana has always been very liberal in
her grade schools and high
schools. And | have no doubt that
the people will get back of these edu-
cational measures also and support
them at the nnlls next NnNemher y

SHERIDAN COUNTY IS
ENJOINED BY COURT
Cannot Proceed with Purchase of
Seed and Feed for Needy Farm
ers, Says Supreme Court.

In an opinion per curiam, handed
down Tuesday the state supreme court
decided against the board of county
commissioners of Sheridan county in
an injunction case brought by N. L.
Nelson to prevent the carrying out of
plan of the Sheridan board of sup
plying farmers of Sheridan county
with seed and supplies.
Some time ago an election was held
at which the voters of the county vot-
ed the sum of 100000 for the relief
OF needy farmers under plan of the
county commissioners. This plan would
have enabled a farmer to purchase
supplies other than seed and giving
the party from whom the supplies
were purchased a receipt, which re-
ceipt would entitle the holder to a
county warrant for the amount.
The supreme court was asked to
grant the injunction upon the ground
that sufficient notice was not given
electors as to the election and for the
reason that the commissioners only
were given the power to make the pur-
chases. The court holds in it's decision
that sufficient notice was given as
to the election but that the power CIV
en- by the statute to the county COM
missioners as to the purchase of sup
plies could not be delegated by the
commissioners to other persons, and
for that reason the injunction was
granted

KILLS WIFE, SELF
AND TWO CHILDREN

Joe West shot and killed his wife
and two children aged s and 8 and
then shot himself through the head,
dying instantly, at Roundup, Sunday,
May End.
West and his family were living
with his wife's sister, Mrs. Sara Ty-
rell. Mrs. Tyrell's daughter had gone
to a neighbor's house to stay with
their children while they and Mrs. Ty-
rell attended a dance. On returning
home she found the dead bodies lying
on the floor and called Andy Stolberg
and George Howard who happened to
be passing by. The bodies of the
wife and one girl were on couch in
one room while the other girl was in
an adjoining room. All evidently had
been asleep.
West killed his wife and one child
with single shot. The second child
had been shot three times. The revol-
yer he used was a five shot affair and
ne elected the empty shells, reloaded
it and sent bullet through his own
brain.
No reason can be assigned for the
shooting except despondency, as it is
said that he was somewhat worried
over financial matters. He was en-
ployed by Thomas B. Frasely on his
ranch running tractor and had been
working steady. During the afternoon
he had seemed rational and normal.

SPRING CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN is ON

The city and county authorities are
cooperating in the drive to make the
spring cleanup drive May 3-8 sue
cess and following Mayor Murray's
proclamation of last week the city has
had printed and circulated circulars
urging the residents of Glasgow to
make every effort to finish the cam
paign this week.
This is a movement that deserves
the whole-hearted cooperation of ev-
cry resident in the city. Fire and dis
ease are invited by dirt and rubbish
piles. Refuse of every kind should
be raked up and hauled away. In
this city authorities are CO operating
by having teams haul the rubbish
away at very nominal charge. Put
your rubbish, exclusive of ashes, in
boxes or barrels and the city teams
will haul it away at so cents per load.
The city and county health depart
ments insist that the cleanup be made
thorough one. Ordinances will be
strictly enforced and residents who
fail to remove refuse that is a menace
to health and property will be prose
cuted.

J. N. KENNEDY, FAMOUS
MONTANAN PASSES AWAY
-5raemic Poisoning Cause of Dem
ocratic Leaders Death-Thous-
ands of Friends Shocked.

Jacob M. Kennedy, famous demo-
cratic wheel horse in Montana for the
past 32 years, orator and widely
known newspaper man, died last Sat-
urday morning at his home in Helena
from an attack Of uraemic poisoning.
He had been in good health up until
a few minutes of his death which re-
suited but short time after the at
tack and before a physician arrived.
j. M. Kennedy is widely known in
Montana newspaper circles, having
been at the head of several we'll known
publications. His last venture was
the Western News at Libby, which he
sold some months ago. He was the
first business manager of the Ana
conda Standard and the first editor
of the Butte Evening News when F.
Augustus Heintz was making his
memorable fight against the Amalga-
mated Copper Mining company. In
1891 he started the Butte Bystander,
the first labor paper in the state. He
conducted that paper for about year
and sold it to start the Evening Mail
in Boise, Idaho. He returned to An
aconda some time after to take charge
of the business affairs of the Ana
conda Standard second time.
In 1895 he again entered the news
paper field for himself, going to Deer
Lodge where he started the New
Northwest which he sold year later.
He returned to Anaconda where he
was appointed police magistrate, his
first venture into the political field.
This positionu was the start of
political career which carried Mr.. Ken
nedy into the highest councils of the
democratic party in Montana, where
he has played a part in many of the
big state campaigns. His widespread
friendship, his ability as writer and
his keen knowledge of human nature
made him a leader of his party in
the state.
In 1896 he was elected a member of
the house from Deer Lodge county and
at the session was chosen speaker in
a hotly contested battle in which he
won out over H. G. Mcintyre, repub-
lican, and C. A. Whipple, democrat.
In 1898 he was appointed to lieu
tenancy in Company M, First Mon
tana Volunteer Infantry and was later
transferred to Company X with the
rank of first lieutenant. He went to
the Philippines with his regiment but
was later invalided home with an at
tack of peritonitis from which he
suffered for months.
In 1900 he again entered the po-
litical field and was elected on an in
dependent ticket to the police judge
ship of Anaconda after the democratic

GLASGOW TO GET
SUMNER CAMP
Fifty-five Boys of Northeast
ern Montana Will Be Here
June 2Sth to July 3rd.
BOYS SELECTED BY LOT
Big Program of Sports and Enter
tainment Being Arranged.-BOys
Ages Twelve to Sixteen
Eligible to Attend.

Fifty-five boys Of Valley and Roose-
welt counties will be encamped at Glas-
gov for one week this summer, June
18th to July 3rd, to enjoy a real va
cation chuck full of recreation, in
spiration and education. The Junior
Farm Bureau camp will be conducted
under the joint supervision of the
Roosevelt and Valley county farm
bureaus. While the matter has been
under consideration for some time,
definite plans were outlined and
adopted at conference between Coun-
ty Agent Stebbins, County Agent
Chase and A. j. Ogaard, specialist
from Bozeman. The cooperation of
all agencies and individuals interested
in the citizens of tomorrow is being
asked. This camp is a move in the
right direction and it's effects cannot
be overestimated.
The plans make provision for the
holding of camp in Valley county
this year and another in Roosevelt
county next year. This system of al
teration has been adopted as being
most economical of time, talent and
money. The fifty-five boys will be
selected by lot in each community and
main town in the two counties. Every
boy between the ages of twelve and
sixteen inclusive will thus have an
equal opportunity of being chosen and
every community will receive repre-
sentation. No favoritism will be pos
sible in selection by lot.
A large tent will be placed on the
campus of the Glasgow High School.
This will serve as camp Headquarters,
fresh air auditorium and joint bed
room for the boys. The high school
building will be utilized for mess hall
and auditorium for lantern slide lee
lures and instructional moving pic
ture exhibitions. The shower baths
will remove the external effects of
each days strenuous program of rec
reation and practical demonstration.
The instructional and inspirational
phases of the camp will receive es-
pecial emphasis. The demonstration
method will be employed to the full
est extent. The best results will be
obtained by seeing and doing. Dry
talks and lectures will be tabooed.
Demonstrations. of ock-judging, SIM
pie veterinary operations, horseman-
ship, tying of knots, splicing of ropes,
grain judging, weed seed Identified
tion, farmstead planning will be in
terspersed by inspirational talks, en-
tertainment features, lantern slide
talks and instructional films. The pro-
gram will be SO varied as to keep up

EFFORTS MADE TO STOP
DANIELS ELECTION
Action Brought to Stop Election for
Creation of Daniels County Out of
Sheridan and Valley.

Characteristic harmony prevails in
Sheridan county over the election to
create the proposed new county of
Daniels. Some time ago the commits
sioners of Sheridan county granted the
petition of the tax payers residing
within the boundaries of the proposed
new county and called an election for
May 18th. An action to restrain
Sheridan county from holding the cleo
tion was brought in the state supreme
court last Friday and the injunction
was denied.
Now the protesting taxpayers are
threshing the matter out in the dis
trict court of Sheridan county. Up to
the time of going to press the Courier
has been unable to get report on the
outcome.

STRIKE AT BUTTE
WAS REVOLUTION
L. w. w. Witness at Shooting In
quest Boasts of Plan to SOv-
ietize All Industries.
SAYS THEY Will WALK OUT
If Workers Get Ten Dollars a Day
They Will Still Keep On Striking
Until All Properties Are Abb
sOrbed, Is Plan.

Butte, May &c. w. Sellars, who
testified he was a member of the
Northwest Defense committee and a
paid official of the !. w. w., frankly
told Coroner John Doran and Jury
Wednesday that the aim of his organ
ization was to secure, through direct
action, all industrial property for the
workers and, in the meantime, to slow
down production of every kind thru
out the country.
Sellars was on the stand most of
the day at the inquest into the death
OF Thomas Manning, victim of the |.
W. W. riots in the neighborhood of
the NeversWeat mine on the afternoon
of April FL. He said that he had been
a member Of the !. w. w. since 1905,
that his membership had lapsed and
that he had rejoined at Denver and
that he had taken a prominent part
in the strike at Park City, Utah.
He added that he was a member of
the local strike committee, that he
was not miner and had never been
in mine and that all of the ID pick
eters shot in the riots of April 21 were
members of the. |. w. w. He himself
was in the crowd on Anaconda road
at the time of the shooting and heard
the sheriff's appeal to the men to dis
perse. He heard the first shots fired,
but did not know who fired them.
Sellars thought the shooting con-
tinued for ten minutes; other Witness
es said that the shooting covered
period of a few hours. The witness
said that he saw pickets struck down
with the butts of guns, but could
give the name of none he saw injured
in that way.
Sellars said that the strike was or
dered by the local I. w. w. on the
night of April Is to take effect the
following morning and that no notice
had been given to the mining COM
panies and that no demands would be
made upon them following the policy
OF the l. w. W. to strike first and set
tie later. He admitted frankly that
it was the aim of his organization to
secure control of the mines.
"Our attitude and ultimate aim," he
said in reply to a question, "is to take
over all properties in the interests of
humanity"
The witness said that if the strikers
obtained $40 day they would then
agitate for higher wages and that they
would never be satisfied until they
had taken over the properties for the
workers from whom they had been
"stOlen," he added.

is necessary to provide feed for them
and CORN is mighty good feed.
Raising corn is killing "two birds with
one stone": (D 1t insures farmers

cleans the fields of weeds and serves
the purpose of summer fallow, or in
other other words, pays for the work of
