 Home owners throughout the coun- try are making profit from the tourist trade this summer by letting rooms to motor campers. The mum Der of signs offering these accommo- datiens are legion. Prices are around 90 cents to $1 per room per night. This movement does not compete par ticularly with the hotel trade, but of fers a change to the tenting tourist. Business in this line is especially good on rainy nights, when camping out presents difficulties for the amateur woo 1snan.

attention to the free and easy
methods that prevailed. This is
the pen picture he left of Helena in
1865:
"This was a lively camp. Three
thousand people were there, street
spaces were blocked with men and
merchandise, OK teams, mule trains
and pack trains surrounded the
camp, waiting for a chance to I'm
load. The saw and hammer were
busy in putting up cabins and store
houses, and in constructing sluice
boxes for the washing out of gold.

never before saddled or bridled,

amuse their riders and the crowds.

day was over, completely broke, te
renew the folly at another weeks
end. And 50 indulgence blossomed
into crime, and the hangman's tree
bore the fruit"
The other judges favored leaving
punishment Of crimes to the vigil
antes. Judge Munson's court OPEN
ed the first week in August. In
his charge to the grand jury he
said: This court opens today for
the first time for the trial of Grim
inal cases; however satisfactory an
excuse might have been found be-
fore for secret trials and midnight
executions, no such necessity now
exists"
A true bill was found against a
murderer, and he was sentenced to
life Imprisonment at the territorial
prison at Virginia City. Acting
Governor Meagher, while under the
influence OF an unfortunate habit,
pardoned the man. He returned to
Helena, was taken by the vigilantes
and hanged with his pardon in his
pocket. He was the ninth man
hanged on the tree.
New Era in Law
This trial in the courts for muir
der was the first ever held in the
territory, and it ended in another
lynching. The next morning the
body was placed in a rough pine
coffin, loaded on a dray drawn by
a mule, and with the sheriff and
coroner leading the way, was taken
to the cemetery and hurriedly bur
led.
In August Of the following year
another trial for murder was held
before Judge, Munson. This man
was arrested by the United States
marshal for murder in the Indian
country under the provision of the
federal laws. He was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged. Off
GERS of the law guarded the jail and
the prisoner to prevent him from
being lynched. Then President
Johnson committed the sentence to
Imprisonment for life and ordered
his transfer to Detroit, Michigan,
prison. On his way there he es-
capped and never was re%captured.
Subsequently four other prison
ers were lynched on the Hangman's
Tree, and then it was cut down, as
has been related.
Judge Munson relates that he re-
ceived about that time a letter from
a medical school graduate of Yale,
inquiring whether or not Helena
was a good place to practice medi-

MONTANA PREMIER
PRODUCER OF FUR
FIVE THOUSAND BEAVER PELTS
REPORTED AS CATCH BY LII
CENSED TRAPPERS
Licensed Trappers Must Send Beaver
Pelts to Helena, Where They Are
Registered and Tagged, Before Be
ing Marketed.

That Montana is still in the class
of large fur producing states is now
being daily attested in the receipt at
the office of State Game Warden G.
A. Jakways of large numbers of bea-
yer pelts to be officially tagged for
the market.
Licensed trappers are sending in
peIts from all parts of the state, the
largest receipts so far being 80 pelts
from Francis H. Ryan of Boulder,
and 20 pelts from j. E. Lewis of Col
umbia Falls.
Since the first of the year 1883
beaver pelts have been tagged by the
game department, and these, added
to the 3,508 which were tagged in
1922, makes a total of 1897 beaver
pelts which have been trapped by IL
censed trappers and tagged by the
game department under the present
law.
Hides Average $12
These pelts average in value about
81 or $12 each, the range being
from 81 to SIS for kits, up to $40 for
the largest and fancy skins.
The trapping season is from MOI
vember 1 to May /, following, al
though few beaver hides are prime
until about January /.
Permits for the trapping of beaver
are issued by the state game and fish
department upon applications show
ing that the permittee desires relief
from damage to his property from
the activities of the beaver. The
state game warden has the option of
issuing a permit or of sending a state
trapper to do the work. At the pres
emit time three state trappers are be-
ing employed by the department and
such beaver as are taken by these
trappers becomes the property of the
state and are sold by the game de-
partment.
Must be Tagged
Each licensee is required to pay
$40 for his permit, which covers one
season only. For the present season,
since September 1, 1922, 495 beaver
permits nave been issued.
The permitee is required to ship
his beaver skins to the office of the
state game warden and to each of
these is attached a metal tag, fasten-
ed to the pelt with a metal seal, and
bearing an individual number. A
charge of SO cents for each pelt so
is made. The pelts are then
returned to the owner.
If he desires to ship them out of
the state he must first obtain a ship
ping permit from the game depart
ment for which a fee of so cents for
each shipment is collected.
All permits expire on May 1, fol-
the date of their issuance, and
all pelts taken under such permits
must be sent to the game warden
for tagging prior to July 1, failing
they are subject to confisca-
ton.

FUDGE LYMAN E. MUNSON was the first federal judge to hold
court at Helena, during the first week in August, 1865. He was the
= third associate justice of Montana appointed by President Lincoln
who came to the territory and served, although another man had been
appointed as the third justice and resigned as soon as he had been APP
pointed.
Judge Munson's introduction to Helena, whittier he went on his
arrival from the east to take up his duties, was the sight OF the cele-
brated Hangman's Tree on the outskirts of the town, with a road agent
dangling at the end Of a rope. Thirteen men were the fruit of this tree
at Helena during about as many months. Then the tree was cut down
by a clergyman, ostensibly to reform the morals of the community, and
after it had been safely placed in a building, peddled the wood out for
canes, SO that the tree became as famous for the canes it produced as it
had been for the number of persons who had cast their last agonized
chances up among its branches before testing its fibers at the end of a
rope.
According to Judge Munson's memoirs, IL to "a hours of good
hanging was generally considered long enough to warrant a certificate
that life was extinct and the body ready for burial

YOUR UNCLE SAMUEL is
SLOW IN PAYING CLAIMS

Recently F. G.. Ellis of Kali
ispell received a check, drawn
on the United States treasury
which, he declares, is a shin
ing example of delay caused
by government red tape.
Thirty-four years ago, or
on April 8, 1879, to be exact,
Mr.. Ellis father, Charles H.
Ellis, filed on a presumption
claim near Helena. In doing
SO he overpaid Uncle Sam
5000, and it took better than
a third Of a century to dis
cover this fact and get the
matter adjusted. The check
which Mr.. Ellis received was
dated March %, 1923, and
was for his share of the over
payment as an heir of his IA
theirs estate.
This incident, MI. Ellis be-
lieves, should serve to cheer
up all those who have claims
for adjustment on income
taxes. 1t shows that either
they or their heirs will get
something, some time.

Finally, they reached Fort Ben

Judge Munson's Story

JUICY uAbhoOA IVY
When Judge Munson received
his commission from President
Lincoln as one of the three federal
judges of the supreme court IN
Montana he had the vaguest sort
of an idea of what sort of a country
he was going to. He was able,
moreover, to get but little informa-
ton concerning the best point to
go to, or how to reach the territory.
He decided on the river route and
shipped his library to St. Louis,
where he took a steamer for Fort
Benton. 1t took SO days to make
the trip.
Passing Yankton, in the lower
part of Dakota, the boat entered a
country filled with hostile Indians.
