"The state railroad commission can

Death Takes Famous

Lethbridge, Alta, Dec. 2S.-Another
Of the very old timers Of southern Al
berta and northern Montana has been
removed in the death recently in
Washington state of Fred Kanuose,
pioneer, frontersman and Indian fight
err. He was a contemporary Of the
famous Red Grow, the greatest of the
modern chiefs of the Bloods. He was
well known to old timers at Fort
Macleod III the eighties as a man who
feared neither white nor red.
One old timer, now living here, re-
counts how Kanuose tackled a man in
a saloon, who with a loaded gun was
shooting at the bartender. Kanouse,
who always stood with the underdog,
grappled the would-be bad man, al
though the left arm of the frontiers
man was useless, having been crippled
in a skirmish with the Indians, and in
u few minutes floored him with his
single arm.
Fred Kanouse was born in Fort
Benton, the son of Judge kanuose,
prominent in that part of the state for
many years. He spoke the Blackfeet
language f~luently, and had some knowl-
edge of law and medicine. He sold
patent HleuiciueS III tAb carry Jays,
sitting in his cabin surrounded by III
dian skulls and bones to give the es-
adjustment the proper atmosphere.
The picturesque kanouse displayed
his legal powers while defending a
friend in Fort Macleod. He went into
the intracicies of the time-honored
game of poker. only to be startled by
a remark from the presiding Judge:
Wait a minute, Mr.. Kanouse. the
bench has played at little poker, too

cause the law forbids these actions.
Both laws are frequently violated but
most of the violators do not feel that
they have committed any moral sins.
It is wrong to murder and it is wrong
to swear to a ~falsehood, not only be-
cause there are forbidding statutes
against those actions, but because
those crimes are innately and Of them
selves wrong.
To show the case in another way:
There are many people in the United
States who would vote to repeal the
prohibition and the customs laws:
there probably is not a single citizen
in the whole land who would vote to
repeal the statutes against murder and
perjury.
To state the Ease in that manner
suggests the probable safety-valve in
the situation which the president and
his advisors are worrying about. 1t
suggests that the people viii make up
their minds in the mass concerning
what is good law and what is artificial
law and will not permit the laws deep
ly grounded in the moral code Of man
kind to degenerate very much.
The president is eager to have a
moral awakening in the country on this
subject of law and have the people
realize the danger inherent in the har-
boring too long of a contempt for the
statutes of the nation.

of the district.
In the complaint filed in the district
court October 8, 1922, it is shown
that there are % children of school
age in the district which contains

school fund and $4,000 in school taxes
would become available on November
/. 1922. 1t was shown that the dis
trict possessed three standard schools,
known as the Ranous, Daleview and
Robinson. and it is charged that in
spite of the fact that nine school chill
dren reside near the Robinson school,
none of whom lived less than four
miles from the Daleview school, the
trustees closed the Robinson school
and are maintaining only the Dale
view SCHOOL. The plaintiff asked a
writ of mandamus directing the board
to engage a teacher for the Robinson
school and to maintain it for as long
a term as at the Daleview school.
In response to the issuance Of an
alternative writ of mandate the
trustees answered that no school had
been maintained in the Robinson
house for over a year, that the dis
trict is deeply in debt, that since
the erection of the three school
houses many of the families have
left the district and large tracts of
land are unoccupied, taxes are un-
paid and that there is not and proba-
bly, will not be sufficient money to
keep more than one school open for
a period of nine months.
Acting upon the pleadings Judge
C. e. Conner Of the district court is
sued a peremptory writ of mandate
on November 4. 1922. directing the
trustees to take the steps necessary
to opening the Robinson school,
whereupon the trustees appealed from
