VACCINATION IS
TROUBLE CAUSE

Much opposition has been aroused
by the order of the Silver Bow coun-
ty board of health, upheld by the
state board, that between 5000 and
10000 children attending Butte
schools must submit to vaccination
against smallpox.
Mrs. H. N. Kennedy, president of
the Montana Freedom league, has for
warded protests to Gov. Joseph M.
Dixon against, the vaccination order,
and the league will call a mass meet
ing of Butte parents. She declares
that her association is solidly against
vaccination. .
The parents of Butte, she stated,
feel that the order is unnecessary, as
there are but 81 school children in
Butte under quarantine out of 1900
and no epidemic exists.
Vaccination at this time, the league
declares, would cause extended sick
ness in many homes as we'll as work
and anxiety for hundreds of parents
The league of which Mrs. Kennedy is
the leader was formed in 1918 to pro-
test against the vaccination order of
that year.

ALBERT H. CRUDE SAYS HE
KILLED RANCHER IN DE-
TENSE OF OWN LIFE.
Threw Body Into Well and Fled Into
Idaho; Grilling by Detective Fails

Heated argument over a proposed
horse trade between George P. Morse
and Albert Harold CRUDE during the
forenoon of Thursday, June %, last
was the cause of the shooting
of the former, according to a
statement by CRUDE, the Is year-old

the shooting was in ~self-defense.

was effected and the trial was set

But during quieter moments of Jail
life the boy was more frank with I'm

he disclosed facts which, if they ex-
as described by CRUDE, clear
away the last shred of mystery sur

wHEM COLONEL SANDERS WAS.
MEDIATOR BETWEEN INDIANS
By Martha Edgerton Plassmann

! The Delaware asked to see my
father to whom he explained tina
this was a deputation sent to hin
by Victor, Chief of the Flatheads
requesting that he would act as me-
diator between the Flatheads anc
the Bannacks, in some trouble
which had recently arisen, as the
Flatheads, being a peaceable tribe,
wished to live on good terms with
their n%eighbors. They brought
with them, as a gift from Victor to
my father, a beautiful jet-black
pony, not to be considered in the
nature of a bride, but as proof of
friendship.
My father readily consented to
aid in the attempt to bring about
friendly relations between the
tribes, and appointed a meeting to
take place the following morning
at our house, when l found it pos
sible to witness a peace conference,
and hear a little of what vas said.
A truce must have been arranged
before the Flatheads left home, or
so small a company of them would
never have ventured into the midst
of an enemy's country. There was
rarely peace between the two tribes.
They spoke a different language,
and their original homes were
widely separated. The Shoshones,
of which tribe the Bannacks were
branch, came from the far south,
being related to the Aztecs. That
they are not as advanced in civil
as were the latter, is due,
it is claimed, to that potent factor
evolution, a change of environ
nent. The Flatheads-or Selfish,
as they are rightfully named-or-

The next morning the Delaware,

of being familiar with the J
anners of civilized, or so-called :

and for the meeting. Later, as
to emphasize his superiority by h
ting the others precede him, our a
