Respondents Reply Brief.
S. Ia replying to the States brief, the
defendants attorneys practically re-
peat their first attempt to convince
the Court that the sheriff should not
be removed, and then indulge ia a
few remarks about the language con-
tanned in the brief of the prosecuting
attorneys. They would have the
court govern its decisions by pre-
cedents cited by them, regardless of
reason or justice. In commenting on
the decision of one supreme court
they frankly state that they have
little regard for it, whic, of course,
they must consider will be an import
ant factor in deciding the case.

SHOOTS AND HANGS
SELF IN RAILROAD
TENT BECAUSE ILL
Former Section Foreman Was De-
spondent As Result of Influenza
Heritage.

Poplar, July 9-Despondent be-
cause Of poor health, Jim Elieff, a
Macedonian, employed as a railroad
section hand here, committed suicide
Thursday in tent. County and city
authorities declare he made extra
plans to be sure that his life was
snufed out by attempting to hang
himself and by putting revolver shot
in his head.
When found by section mates at
$50 in the evening, the body was
hanging suspended from the ridge
pole Of the tent and there was bull
let hole in the right temple and rig
or mortis had set in. There was "a
small stool in the tent and the dr.
thorities declare that Elieff tied the
rope about his neck, stood on the
stool and then fired the bullet into his
head thinking to make sure Of death
either by strangulation or from the
bullet.
It being apparent that Elieff took
his own life, Justice Jack Hanson held
no inquest under deputization by Cor
oner Gustafson.
Elieff had been in poor health for
three years. Influenza left him in a
tubercular condition and he consulted
with doctors in Great Falls and took
treatments at Hunters Hot Springs.
Before he was taken i'll he was sec
tion boss in the Poplar district.

MONTANA SEEKING
LOWER RAIL RATES
ON FARM PRODUCTS
Appeal for Relief Is Wired to I. C.. C.
Present Cost Closes Markets to
States Grain.

/ The state railroad commission Fri
day, July 9Th, telegraphed request
to the interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington for an immediate
hearing on grain and hay freight
rates from Montana to eastern mar
kets.
Present rates have been declared
by shippers to be so high that west
ern products virtually are excluded
from the@market. Haste is urged by
the state commission in order that the
matters may be adjudicated before
crop movements begin this fall.
It was announced that the commits
sion had delayed making its report
for hearing in the hope that some
voluntary movement would be made
by the railroads for lower rates.
kilograms also were sent by the
Montana commission to all western
states urging them to join in the re-
quest for a hearing. It was sug-
gested by the Montana commission
that the matter be heard at Washing
ton, D. c., thus doing away with the
loss Of time incident to having inter-
state commerce officials come here
from the capitol.

The reorganization Of the Sheri-s
dan County State Bank is progress,
ing as well as can be expected, SO it
is reported by a. Rueber, the: man
who is in charge of the re-organiza-
ton work All of the local creditors
except four have signed up and the
outside creditors are signing up ev-
cry day. The word signing up,
means, signing an agreement to take
certificate of deposit in the bank for
any money deposited therein, to run
one year, at the rate Of 5 per cent
per annum, with the privilege Of re-
newing if necessary for lob months
after the certificate becomes due.
!. Some people think this is a long
time to wait, and it is: but it lis bet-
ter it seems to meet the situation in
this way, and eventually get the
money, than to allow the bank to say
in the hands of the receivers. and Ii
quidate, which would probably mean
that after the + county and state,
which are preferred creditors, are
paid off, there will not be cent left
for the depositors when if the bank
is re-organized, all depositors will
have chance to get their money
eventually.
Mr.. Reuben states that he does. not
know how the reorganization will
work out, but he states that If al
and every customer does not sign
up, the committee will not open che
bank at all, but will allow the bank
to stay in the hands of the receivers.
It IS to be hoped that all depositors
will eventually sign up, in order that
the bank may be opened and all de-
positors protected. AS the matter
now stands, if one man refuses to
sign the contract, and the bank as a
result does not open, he will not only
lose what money he has in that
bank, but he may be the cause of his
neighbors losing all that they have
deposited in the failed bank also,
which would indeed be regrettable.
The committee hopes to have the
bank open for business by the middle
Of September.

PEOPLES PUBLISHING
CO. STOCKHOLDERS
MEETING


The Stockholders of the PEOPLES
Publishing Company held their an
nual meeting in Plentywood, Mon
day. July IL, and as anticipated,
there was not enough stock repre-
sented either by person or proxy to
hold the meeting, which was as re-
suit compelled to adjourn until a lat
er date, which date was set for Sat-
urdaY, November 10Th, and the Sec
retary-Treasurer was instructed to
take the necessary steps to get the
stock out at the next meeting.
President Clair. Stoner called the
meeting to order and appointed a
credential committee composed Of
Nels Olson and Reuben Seaberg, who
after The credentials were canvassed,
announced there were only $50 shares
represented, whereas the constitution
and bylaws require 1884 or 3 half
of the stock issued for quorum.
Bookkeeper @. A. Noe read the fin
ancial report in order that those
present might be informed as to the
condition Of the business.
Attention Of the stockholders was
called to the fact that it now cost the
paper hundred dollars to hold a
stockholders meeting and get a quor-
UNI out. The secretary was instruct
ed to get enough stock represented
to amend the bylaws at the adjourn
ed meeting, to require only about
third OF the stock either to hold a
meeting or to amend the bylaws.

The wooden mills are active on the

The cotton manufacturing business is
steadily improving. The activity in fine
goods is slowly spreading TO yarns. TAX

il is estimated that they are running

The government wool auctions have
been resumed and low grade wool has
been sold at approximately the same
price which prevailed last winter at the

tacturers took most of this Offering.
Low Prices for Wool.
In spite of the tariff and the activity
of the woolen mills the market for raw
wool is heavy. Within A fortnight a
number Of sales have been made at the
lowest prices yet registered. Local wool
dealers say that in many cases the new
clip is shorter staple than sheared last
year.
Local shoe factories are still running
