BLUE DAYS: When tourists

comes leaking through occasional

house being filled to capacity. In

patch of brush. Finding no deer,
Reed entered the brush and sat
down to eat a lunch. Bryan saw
a movement in the brush and fired.
II was fortunate that he did not kill
his friend.
A hunter from Butte was recently
heard to remark that he didn't see
any deer but he got three sound
shots. When asked what sound
shots meant, he replied that he had
heard noises and fired into the brush
three times. Since nothing came
out of the brush, | concluded there
were no deer in there" remarked
the hunter.
One is impelled to ask, Just what
sort of brain must man have who
will fire blindly into a .clump of
brush when he knows that the woods
are full of hunters" The slightest
use of his reasoning powers would
show him that human being might
be in the brush and he might very
easily take human life. And yet
some men continue to do this ash
nine thing every hunting season.
Now and then one reads of hunters
being killed thereby. 1t was only
two or three years ago that a man
was killed in that manner in the
north end of this county
Fools we will always have with
us. But if possible they should be
kept from hunting with high pow
cred rifles.
A man who fires into brush with
out seeing the game, and thereby
kills man, commits murder. He
should be punished accordingly.

Suggestion to Voters on
Special Measures

This newspaper realizes that peo-
pie are often confused regarding
measures they are asked to pers or
at election. They lack information
regarding some of them, and there
fore do not know whether to vote
for or against the proposals.
With the object of helping to re-
move some of this confusion, this
newspaper offers the following ex-
plantations and suggestions.
INITIATIVE NO. Al
Vote for this measure. 1t will en-
power the state to issue debentures
in the sum of 100000 for road
building purposes. This bill will
cost the taxpayers no more than al
present but the money is badly
needed to, continue highway build.
ing. If the measure is not adopted
the state will lose about 100000 ir
federal aid money. Vote for In
itiative Al.
AMENDMENT TO SEC. 5, AIT.
TICLE XVI
We intend to vote against this
measure, although it is backed by
the Montana Taxpayers Associa-
ton 1t proposes to increase the
term of certain county officers from
two to four years.
Those who favor it argue it would
result in cheaper elections and that
the counties would get better serv-
ice from their officials with longer
terms.
The argument OF cheaper elections
is not a sound one. Elections must
be held every two years anyway
And there must be just as many
ballots printed, the same number of
judges and clerks, the same number

AMENDMENT TO SECS. Gil
ART. XXI

Vote for this amendment. II is
highly beneficial. 1t will make pos
sible the combining into one fund
of balances in various state funds.
It will thus be possible to invest
this larger sum to much better adj
vantage; better interest rates and
other advantages. The amendment
provides safeguards for preserving
the identity of the various funds. 1t
would merely be great improve
ment in administration. Therefore
vote for this amendment.

West opened his fourth-best SPADE

|NATI0NALISTS | BOMBING AGAIN
Barcelona, Other Cities on Coast Feel It-Many
 Were Killed

Herdaye, French-Spanish From tier, May 13-(UP)-Nationalist bombers from the Balearic island of Majorca raided Barcelona and oth- CT coastal cities again today in prep aration to 8 renewed offensive along tre Mediterranean.
 At least 30 were killed and 60 wounded in today's raid on Barcelo- na and, added to yesterdays 46 killed and 48 wounded, the capital feared 8 renewal of the vieious at- tacks which claimed approximately 1000 lives two months ago.
 The insurgent bolnbers struck elsewhere along the coast yesterday and today. In Valencia at least eight persors were killed and onother Il in Cabanal, three miles north of the former capital.
 Raiders Concentrate
 Raiders concentrated their bomb- ing on Barcelona's eastern districts today. Anti-aircraft guns kept up continuous fire but the planes were invisible in the summer haze.
 Nationalists reports said that lay- alist columns fled south on the cen- tral Aragon front, abandoning con- siderable equipment, as the insur- gents prepared for a continued att tack upon the coastal city of Castel- lon de Ia Plana.

turning three indictments, recessed for two weeks, and then returned to issue seven more indictments.
 Adjourned for Lunch
 The jury adjourned for lunch al the regularly appointed time and will return at o'clock to resume its deliberations. No witness had ap- peared until lunch-time and none is expected during the afternoon session.
 It was learned today that more records from the Waterbury Trust Company were obtained by Alcorn aides yesterday. The records are un- doubtedly those of deposits of wit nesses who have appeared before the jury, or of individuals who are being investigated.
 MT. Alcorn appeared in jovial mood today at the morning adjourn ment. But there were no statements forthcoming with regard to the jury's present activities.
 Another hours deliberation was held yesterday from 4:15 to 5:15 after all witnesses, including four recalls and two new ones, had been excused. This action made observers even more certain that the "break" was bound to come shortly. There is belief that during the day the jury also deliberated, while the witnesses on call were left in the corridor.
 B. A. Gardetto, son of the late head of the now defunct Milford, Massachusetts construction com- pany which was awarded city con- tracts from 1929-1934 was witness yesterday afternoon. He was called to the jury from his occupation in Vermont.
 His father and uncle were heads of the Cenedella Company, which was awarded the contract for in- stalling a trunk sewer line on Thom- aston avenue. During election cam paigns the Republicans have used this project as an issue, claiming that the construction company re- ceived sum far in excess of their original bid.
 The fact was that the company stood to loose money on the job be- cause of the numerous set-backs caused when the river overf1owed it's banks, washing out excavations and carrying away supplies and lumber. It has been claimed that the city stood these losses rather than let the construction company suffer the severe strains.
 Thomas Wagner of the city yards was excused as MT. Gardetto went into the jury room. Gardetto was on the scene for only about an hour.
 Other witnesses of the day were Superintendent of Streets Thomas Fleming; John H. Crary, Frankie (Burns) Santalucia, and Henry Geb- hardt, photographer.
 There was report current yes- terday that the jury was interested in the ownership of the steamroller,
