Gov. Sam c. Ford has assured fed
eral officials Montana not only will
cooperate in breaking barriers to in
terstate trucking of war materials for
the duration but that Montana regu-
lations already provide greater free
dom of movement than the uniform
code suggested by the war department
for the entire nation.
The code lists maximum truck loads
and sizes which war agencies wish to
see established on a nationwide basis.
The code would eliminate the many
state barriers which now delay truck
transportation of vital materials and
prevent full use of truck transporta-
ton.
Howard W. Holmes, state highway
engineer, said the suggested code &C
tually would be welcomed by Montana
since the recommended load Limits
would not cause extra maintenance
work above the usual program.
The question of maintenance, of who
would pay for repair of roads dam
aged by huge loads. has been one of
the stumbling blocks in eliminating
stateline barriers.
Holmes warned, however, that criti-
cal bridges will be posted for maxi
mum speeds so full loads can cross
without damaging the structures and
truckers who endanger such bridges.
and consequently the entire transpor-
tation system, by excessive speeds may
be dealt with severely.
The urgency with which war Off
Gals regard the truck barrier stu
alton was shown in a letter by Frank
Bane, executive director of the coun-
ell Of state government. to Governor
Ford.

Langford Peel, Harried by Adverse Fates,
Became One of Vests Most Feared Gunmen

man to whom the fates were unkind
Capable, Trustworthy and generous, he
might well have carved out . meri-
torious career. But instead, badEered
By circumstance, soured by the in
gratitude Of men he had befriended
he turned hoodlum.
And when he did so he didn't do II
half-heartedly. He went "all out" on
the business OF being a bad man.
Not that he preyed on innocent
people or turned cheat or robber. He
wasn't low-down thug of the George
Ives-Henry Plummer type. But he was
rough and tough and, when in his
cups-a frequent occurance-spoiling
for trouble.
More adept with a six-gun than any
man he ever encountered. he was a
one-man scourge in California and
Nevada before coming to Montana and
he doubtless would have lived longer
had it not been his invariable practice
to give his antagonist time to go for
his gun before he went into action
himself.
Befriended Two 'Floaters"
The two who soured Peel on life
were a pair of nefarious characters
named Conley and Rucker. Peel was
prosperous resident Of Leavenworth
Kan, in 1856 when he first had con-
tact with this duo. Times were hard
Severity Of weather, scarcity of pro-
visions and the high price of fueI
added up to misery for the poorer
classes The large floating population
which had gathered into the little
settlements along the Missouri border
beguiled there by prospects Of oppor-
tunity and profitable investments, was
especially hard hit. Hunger was ram
pant.
Peel, whose heart was big. contrib
uted generously to their relief. Conley
and Rucker he found absolutely des-
titute He invited them to his home
where he and his wife provided them
comforts for weeks.
Two years later Peel was feeling the
pinch of adversely himself. He turned
up in Salt Lake, with pockets empty
and found Rucker and Conley there
engaged in prosperous business.
But when Peel appealed to these
worthless to reciprocate for past favors
they gave him the brush-off. Both were
gentlemen of short memory.
Peel, with halr-trlgger temper al
best, was outraged, and his feelings
did not improve with the passing Of
time.
Rucker was the proprietor of faro
bank on Commercial street. Peel went
thither one day to stake s25 he hac
borrowed from a kindly stranger on

Rucker, with more bravado thar
good sense, pushed the money away
saying contemptuously, II don't want

Lashed by this insult, Peel went
primitive. He raised a chair to bang

and entered Miller's store adjoining
the back stairs of which he hurriedly
climbed, drawing his gun as he went

Peel soon afterward went into the
store by the front door and inquired
for Miller, who was absent. Saunter-
ing into the rear of the place, which
was dimly lighted, he came suddenly
upon Rucker, who had descended the
