State Seal at Washington

After 35 years without representa-
ton given other states in the ceiling
Of the national house of representa-
tives, Montana has at last gained re-
cognition there with the placing of the
state seal alongside Of that of the
United States, just to the left of the
speakers desk.
The absence of the Montana emblem
was called to the attention of the house
and David Lynn, architect of the cap
itol, last spring by Congressman Scott
Leavitt. On November S, the thirty
fifth anniversary of the admission of
Montana into the union, the Montana
seal was placed in the position it now

sued a writ of mandate but ordered the
secretary to place the names OF La
Follette-Wheeler presidential electors
on the ballot for the general election.
The opinion is written by District
Judge O. F. Goddard, sitting for JUS

The fact that the word "indepen-
dent" was used as a part of the name
of a political party, which had filed
candidates for office, says the opinion,
does not act as a bar to its use by an
independent candidate who desires to
use the word to designate the charac-
ter of his candidacy.

ARREST EGYPTIANS
AS C0NSP|RA10RS
TWO FORMER MINISTER'S AND
TWO POLITICIANS HELD
BY BRITISH
SUDAN CLASH JUST AVOIDED
Troops Refused to Leave the Sudan
When Ordered and Offered
Resistance

London.-The British authorities in
Cairo have taken into their own hands
drastic measures to suppress possible
nationalistic plottings by the arrest OF
four prominent members of the party
organization headed by former Premier
Zagloul Pasha.
Those arrested were Nekrashy Bey, a
secretary in the ministry of the inter
Tor in Zaglours cabinet; Abdul Rahman
Fashmy, one of Zagloul's closest politi-
cal assistants; William Makram Obied,
a prominent Coptic member of the ma
tionalistic delegation, and Barakat
Pasha, who was Zagloul's minister Of
the interior.
According to statements in official
quarters In London, the men arrested
were leaders in an underground con-
spiracy against British interests, which
probably was partly responsible for the
murder of Sirdar Stack, and which, if
left unhampered in its activities, might
result in further unfortunate incidents.
There was fear that this prompt ac-
ton on the part of the British might
result in another Egyptian ministerial
crisis; but according to the latest Cairo
advices it was announced there, after a
hastily called cabinet council, that
there would be no ministerial changes
as British authorities had accepted
Premier Ziwar's proposal that the men
taken into custody should be handed
over to the Egyptians to be dealt with.
Cairo.-An official communication
says that when the acting sirdar gave
orders for the Egyptian officers and
troops to leave the Sudan, they declin-
ed to do so and offered resistance.
They informed the acting sirdar that
they would not leave unless they re-
ceived orders from the Egyptian gov
eminent. British troops, %thereupon,
surrounded the Egyptians and the
Khartum government wired to Cairo,
that orders be transmitted, in
structing the troops to depart.
On receipt Of the message, the Egyp-
tian ministry met and decided that the
war minister should send the required
orders with a view of preventing blood

Life Lost Because Of Curiosity

Alfred Kyrolls. %, whose home and
parents are at Wadena, Mimi, died at
Plentywood from the effects OF an ex-
plosion of a gasoline barrel at the farm
Of A. J. Olson, where he was working.
Kyrolls, out of curiosity, dropped a
lighted match into a barrel which had
contained gas a few hours previous
to having been partly filled with water
for use at the threshing engine, saying
that there was no danger in doing so.
An explosion followed, blowing the
top off the barrel. and while he was
not hit by any of the flying fragments
the shock was so great that he became
ill and died from what is thought to
be the effects of the explosion.

FIND INSPECTOR IS
GUILTY OF ROBBERY
Fahey and Murray are Convicted OF
Looting Milwaukee Train
of $2,5o0,O0O

Chicago.-Verdicts of guilty were re-
turned early Nov. % by a jury In
United States district court against
William ]. Fahey, former postal inspec-
tor, and James Murray, politician, on
five charges of robbing the mails with
a gun, five charges of mail robbery and
one charge Of conspiracy to rob the
mails, in connection with the S2,500,00O
Roundout, ILL.,, train robbery on June
II. The jury deliberated over five
hours before reaching a verdict.
Walter McCoomb, chauffeur for Muir
ray, in whose home Willie Newton,
wounded robber, was found, was ac-
quilted. Six men, said to have been
the actual robbers, pleaded guilty, and
part of them testified for the prose
cution against Fahey, Murray and Nc
Comb. In the closing arguments gov
eminent prosecutors pictured Fahey as
a Judas who accepted pay from the
federal government to run down the
robbers and kept them posted of oper-
ations against them. Defense counsel
attacked the credibility of the govern
witnesses.
The robbery was the most daring in
recent years. A Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul mail train, carrying currency,
bonds and securities valued at millions
Of dollars was stopped at Rondout, ILL.,,
about 80 miles from Chicago, as it sped
st. Paul. The holdup men sub
1ued the train crew and drove the mail
clerks from the car containing the reg
stored mail with gas bombs.
