KILLER OF NEGRO
GIVEN FREEDOM
JOHN MOSNEY FREED FOLLOW
ING INVESTIGATION INTO
34-YEAR-OLD CASE

Lewis and Clark County Attorney
J. Miller Smith announced that John
MoSney had been released from Gus
tody and returned to Spokane, where
he was arrested Feb. % by Deputy
Sheriff Rolla Duncan and brought to
Helena. He was held while an investi-
cation was conducted into a killing
"a years ago.
Smith commended Deputy Duncan
highly for his efforts to solve mur-
der mystery of long standing.
Mosney had been sought since Oct.
Is, 1907, for the Staying OF Robert
Holmes, negro prospector, at Holmes
cabin southeast of Wolf Creek. Mos
ney claimed Holmes shot at him twice,
wounding him in the head and was
in the act Of drawing again when the
fatal shot was fired. His statement,
Smith pointed out did not constitute
a confession of murder but rather a
denial of guilt under the defenses of
criminal law.
There were no .eye-witnesseS to the
shooting, the county attorney said, and
no living persons, SO far as known,
can throw any further light on the
tragedy. The investigation made by
the county attorneys office extended
as far as Los Angeles, and all persons
in this state who were believed to
have had any knowledge of the shoot
ing were interviewed Smith said.

u. S. SPENDING
HITS NEW PEAK

With 81 months yet to go, federal
expenditures for the current fiscal
year surpassed the heaviest spending
IN any fun year in American history.
The treasury disclosed that between
July /, 1871, and March IT, 1912, 1t
spent $18,667, 611 ,678. The highest
amount spent in a previous full fiscal
year was $1s,522, 1895 900 in 1919, which
included the close of the World war.
The new record was due almost en-
tirely to the war program, which has
already cost $13,989, 189 DTS.
According to budget estimates, total
expenditures in the remainder of the
fiscal year-through June 30-are
slated to add about $4,000, 900 600, Of
which $4,000, 100000 win be for war.
The new spending record was
achieved In the midst of the greatest
income tax collection in history. In
the first II days of March, income
tax collections officially recorded to-
tailed 1891 ,371, $40, or more than
double the $500, 668, sos taken in during
the similar period last year.
At least that much again in income
taxes is believed to have been collected
at the 81 regional collection offices,
but may not show up in the official
figures for several days.

SCHOOL DISTRICT
DUE IN MONTANA
BETWEEN 50 AND 100 FEWER IN
STATE NEXT YEAR, SAYS
FRED BENNTON

Secretary Fred Bennion Of the Mon
tana Taxpayers association has eSti-
mated there would be between so and
100 fewer school districts In Montana
next year than at present.
Bennion said he had definite infor-
nation Of As districts which would be
abandoned or consolidated with others
II Of them in Toole county and in
Teton county.
Lack Of sufficient taxable valuation
and resultant inability to finance op-
Grafton Of schools has been a principal
factor In forcing abandonments," Ben
Mon said.
Montana has about 1900 school dis
tricts, of which 21o have a taxable
value Of less than $4,000 each. Two
hundred and 90 districts have taxable
valuations between $4,000 and $50 600
and Ala are in the $4,000 to $4,000
bracket.
Last year there were 346 schools op-
Grated in the state with five pupils
or less; sos schools had but 6 to 10
students, Bennion said, making per
pupil costs and taxes extremely high. -
Bennion explained that county sup
er1ntendents may abandon a school
district when no school is held for two
consecutive years and must abandon a
district when school is not conducted
for three consecutive years.
He declared 200 school districts in
Montana take advantage of loophole
IN the law by operating every third
year.
Rubber shortages may slow I'D the
trend toward consolidation that i'm
proved highways, transportation pay
ments and changes in school equaliza-
ton laws encouraged Bennion as
serted.
Lack of tires may even cause some
consolidated districts to be broken up
or result in the operation of more
than one central school"
He said a movement was on foot
to break up district % in Lake county,
largest consolidated district in the
state.

BONNER WAGING
SLOT MACHINE
WAR IN STATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL APPEALS TO
LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR
QUICK ACTION

Slot machine operators attempting
to bring "one-arned bandits into
Montana under the pretext of aiding
the nations war effort prompted an
appeal by Attorney General John w
Bonner for quick action by local Law
enforcement officers.
In letters to all county attorneys
and sheriffs. the attorney general
asked immediate investigations and
seizure of any machines found.
Because the United States govern
ment is imposing a tax ON slot ma
chimes, I am informed that syndicates
and operators are now attempting to
place slot machines in illegal operation
in Montana under the pretext they
are legal and beneficial to our war
effort.
Such statements are, Of course,
false and misleading. Two-fisted men
not 'one-armed banditS-are needed
now" the attorney general said.
After calling attention to drastic
penalties provided by Montana law for
possession Of slot machines, Bonner
continued:
THE payment of a tax to the United
States government does not change our
low or make the illegal possession or
Illegal operations of slot machines
legal in Montana.
Il understand that the government
has prohibited the manufacture Of slot
machines in order to transfer the ma
terials to war production. I am fur
Their advised that in many states pub
lie officials, regardless of the gam
bling laws, have carried on extensive
campaigns to seize slot machines and
pin ball machines with the view of
using some of the materials Of which
they are constructed for war purposes.
1T appears now more than ever be-
fore that all public officials should
work together to enforce our laws and
that those who are seeking to evade
these laws should devote their ener-
gies to gainful war efforts"
Bonner added that in his opinion
there is less gambling in Montana now
than at any time in the states history,
largely because of a law-enforcementl
initiated by the attorney
general in cooperation with county
attorneys more than year ago, al
he said would be vigorously
continued.

FOresters to Mark
Ancient Indian Trail

An ancient trail near Missoula used
by the Indians of western Montana
before the coming of the white man
will soon be marked by foresters to
preserve it for posterity.
The trail winds across the lower
slopes of Mount Sentinel and Uni
versity mountain, through Pattee can
yon and down Deer creek, near Mill
town, and was used during high water
seasons.
Indians, travelling westbound along
the south bank Of the river, would be
unable to ford the river and continue
through Hell Gate canyon, which was
the route when the water Of the river
was low.

FeWer Varieties
And Higher Prices
Of LiQuOr FOreSeen

Montanans who enjoy their drinks
are going to have fewer varieties tc
choose from and win have to pay more
for them, Montana liquor board at
taches say.
The number Of varieties of whisky
offered by distillers, they state, have
been reduced as result Of war demand
for industrial alcohol for explosives
and other purposes, while the demand
for cheaper grades of liquor has null
tiplied because Of recent tax increases,
making 1t more difficult to obtain sup
plies.
Additionally, 1t was reported, the
state liquor monopoly Is having diff

turer furnished only 10 cases of an

State Has Doubled
Conservation Areas,
CO-OrdiSa1tOr AUers

Montana farmers and ranchers more
than doubled the area in soil conser-
walton districts in the state during
the calendar year 1871, and the area
included in grass conservation districts
cooperating with the soil conserva-
ton service was almost doubled, it is
reported by T. G. Anderson of Boze-
man, state co-ordinator for the soil
conservation service.
The growth in the area in soil con-
servation districts, he said, came
through the organization Of three new
districts aggregating 933 ,0O6 acres and
the addition of 987, 300 acres to the
reserve soil conservation district in
Sheridan county, which had been or
ganized previously.
There were eight soil conservation
districts aggregating 1892, 1854 acres as
of Dec 81, 1941, Anderson concluded,
and eight grass conservation districts
which include 2,9OO,612 acres were also
cooperating with the soil conservation
service.
