JOHN ESPELAND KILLED
I'm HURRICANE NEAR WESTBY
FOUND DEAD AFTER STORM BY NEICHBOR
Well Known Young McEIroy Farmer Killed When Hurricane
Blew Down His Farm Home-Funera Held at Westby.

John Espeland, well known farmer
of the McElroy precinct, a young un-
married man was killed Monday after
noon, July 9th, when the hurricane
which hit that section Of the country,
blew his house down and demolished
the buildings on his farm and de-
strOyed the buildings except the house,
on the farm of Oscar Bergeson, whose
farm joins Espelands across the road.
Espeland who has homestead two
miles south of McElroy, was at his
house alone when the wind and storm
came up with a great fury. He evi-
IDENTIFY went into the house to get out
of the storm and when he felt the
house yielding to the wind which was
blowing a hurricane, he rushed for
the cellar under his small house but
had tarried too long for it seems that
as he was part way down the ladder
into the cellar the house wrenched
loose from the sills, slid along the
floor and caught him on the chest, as
it appears from the bruises left upon
his body, between the wall and the
floor. Indications points to the pro-
liability that the young man who was
very strong succeeded in wrenching
himself loose and tried to get away

FARMER-LABOR
CONVENTION DECISIONS
By TOM TIPPETT


Federated Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO.-A Federated Farmer
Labor party will be the result of the
three-day conference of labor and
farmer organizations invited by the
National Farmer-LabOr party to con-
fer on the formation of a single polit-
ical labor party Independent of the
two old parties. The result viii be-
come a reality if the committees ap-
pointed by the conference are able to
make living flesh from the instruc-
tions' given by the delegates by an
overwhelming vote on the Fourth of
July.
The decision came Tuesday after
days of dramatic struggle in which at
tempts to bolt the convention, slxirm-
ishings, caucuses and exciting parlia-
mentary battles on the floor of the
Garments hall auditorium gave life
to the proceedings.
FARMER-LABORER BOLT
The principle fireworks came from
a group in the Farmer-LabOr party,
who wanted to keep the affair in the
power of committees. Failing after
many attempts to win the conference
to their views they attempted to lead

they could have been assessed and
taxed in this state, but in this instance
the opinion set out that the Thornton
shares "have a business situs in the
state of New York; they are actually
there and always have been. Under
the admitted facts it must be held un-
der the policy so long maintained in
the territory and state of Montana,
which we believe to be consonant with
the true principles governing taxation
"a policy which frowns upon double
taxation in any form, and which sim
ply demands of persons a just contri-
button to the support of the govern
ment under which they enjoy the pro-
lection which makes their business
possible-the assessment of the
Thornton stocks is not commanded;
and that the assessor of Silver Bow
county was right in refusing to list
them as taxable property within his
Jurisdiction"

STATE LOSES THORN
TON STOCK TAX CASE
More Than Million a Year Kept Off
Tax Rolls by Ruling, is Estimate
Rehearing Will Be Asked.

Under a decision of the state su
prene court handed down Monday
morning, it is estimated at least a
million dollars a year in taxes are
withheld from the rolls of the state
Of Montana. In deciding the action
brought for the state of oMntana by
Attorney General w. D. Rankin the
court pronounced one of the most i'm
portant decisions affecting the entire
tax-paying population of the common
wealth that has been before that tri-
bunal in many years.
Under the decision of the supreme
court in the Thornton case, it is said,
the stock of the Chile Copper com
panv. S77OOO,000 worth of which is
owned by the Anaconda Copper COM
panV. will escape taxation in Montana
1t is declared any attempt made by
the authorities of this state to tax
the stock of the Chile company will
be met with the showing that the
/ situs of the stock is elsewhere, hence
in the~view of the state supreme court
as expressed in this during, is not
subject to tax here.
THE THORNTON CASE
Shares of stock of the Inspiration
Consolidated Copper company and Of
the United Verde Extension Mining
! company owned by w. d. Thornton
are not taxable in Montana, accord
! ING to the opinion, because those
shares of stock were used as a par
of the owners separate business il
New York, we're never owned il
Montana, and that the money used t.
purchase these shares of stock did no
kcome from Montana. The opinion wa
delivered by Chief Justice Lew L. Cal
laway, and was cOncurred in by th
four associate justices.
WAS TEST CASE
This was made a test case befor
the supreme court when Attorne,
General w. d. Rankin sought fror
the high court an order to have tn
assessor of Silver Bow county shoN
cause why these shares of minin
stock were not listed here for taxa
/ tion purposes. In the opinion of Chic
Justice Galloway the "order to shO7
cause is discharged and the proceed
ing dismissed" The attorney genera
/ contended that the shares of stoc
were taxable in Montana because tn
legal residence of Thornton was
Butte.
! The opinion in this case is to tn
J effect that had the shares been ser
out of Montana to escape taxatio
