Montanans, Inc, the state chamber

photographs to realize that New

he said Court DuRand has proven
that there is something new under the
sun"
Diving Buffalo
Take for instance the buffalo and
elk in their most sensational stunt
high diving. The animal trainer writes:
do you get the picture2 Wild buffalo
and elk diving into the San Francisco
bay from 40 or 50-foot height"
That would be a real sensation TO
thousands of visitors from all over the
country who would witness such feat
should it become realization at one
of the expoSitions. Impossible? Not
hardly, especially not when one gets q
glimpse of buffalo in mid air actually
diving into a lake on DuRand's ranch,
a feat that one of his enclosed photo
graphs proves.
And then there are Boots and Su-
zanne, the cute little antelope with
special pack saddles that accompany
DuRand on hunting trips and return
with their backs loaded with pheaSantS
and jack rabbits.
Or how about the four elk that Du-
Rand uses for big game hunting ex-
peditions. They also are shown in q
photograph, their backs all packed for
a trip into the mountains. The trained
buffalo also are fine pack animals and
are shown as such when they led the
parade at the White Sulphur Springs
rodeo last year. This year they viii per-

Also, there Is the picture Of the
famous elk team drawing a two-wheel

CIGARET PRICE
FIXING DENIED
TRADE COMMISSION SAYS RECENT
RUMORS CIRCULATED IN
STATE ARE FALSE

The state railroad and public
service commission issued state
ment the other day that cit never
has attempted to fix prices under
the unfair practices act, as such is
net the intent of the law" The
commission, designated In the new
law as the Montana trades COM
mission, said reports circulated In
western Montana to the effect the
board had set minimum prices on
cigarets and tobacco are "false."
Members of the commission, Horace
r. Casey, E. e. Krebsbach and Thomas
E. Carey, said the erroneous report ap-
parently came about through mis-
understanding on the part Of Fred
Karkanen, representative of Associated
Merchants of Western Montana.
John w. Bonner, commission coun-
sci, outlined the function Of the act
as follows:
Merchants in any one district may
organize and file cost surveys with the
commission. The cost surveys are to
show the merchants acta1 cost of do
ing business without including profit.
If the survey is accepted by the COM
mission, any merchant In that district
selling merchandise below cost may be
prosecuted.
Farmers also may organize and
adopt minimum prices for their
products, and persons selling the
products below the minimum prices
approved by the commission also are
liable to prosecution"

lungs and less serious hurts received
from blows. Hayes was sent to the
penitentiary from Chouteau county fol
burglary to serve 10 years. His sentence
would have been completed March IL,
1912. Rock was 80 years old and was
serving a life sentence for the cold
blooded killing of Ed Corl in a saloon
at Jordan, Mont. Hayes and Rock
were cellmates.
Informations charging murder were
filed against the men on April by
S. p. Wilson, now a prominent Deer
Lodge attorney, who was then county
attorney. j. H. Duffy, Anaconda, and
o. b. O'Bannon, Deer Lodge, were
named to defend the accused men.
Asks Death Sentence
On April Rock asked that he be
allowed to plead guilty. He further re-
quested Judge George B. Winston TO
pass the death sentence and asked for
a speedy execution.
HAYES stood trial, was found guilty
and. appealed to the supreme court
which upheld the decision Of the lower
court. Young was sentenced to serve
life and Stevens, acquitted, completed
his original sentence and was released
in 1918.

time Rock was hanged. j. E. Neville,

Stevens, when he was released,
promptly filed separate actions against
Frank Conley, asking 100000 damages,
charging false prosecution in connec-
ton with the murder. He lost both
suits.

recalled the prison was operated by
Conley and McTague, under a contract

On display this week in the

here are some most unusual
shoes.
Two of these, under the cap
ton of When You and I were

to the modern eye, but were
very much in vogue in their
day. The mans shoe has a

seems impossible to squeeze a
full-size foot into, yet that is
what the gentlemen of fashion
were wearing in 1889.
The Woman'S shoe, which was
being shown in the better shoe
stores throughout the land be-
tween 1900 and 1910, is an ell
aborate affair of black and tan
leather, with an intricate
scrolled pattern. The pointed
toe and French" heel of those
days look odd now, but they
were once the height of fash
