On October 1, 1907, a horse valued at $125, belonging to the plaintiff, was killed in Jefferson county by a train. Suit was brought before Justice of the Peace John R. Grice and the plaintiff secured judgment for the full value of the horse. The case was appealed to the district court, but the plaintiff moved to dismiss the appeal as the Montana Central had not signed the bond. Judge Bourquin sustained the motion and the supreme court was then called to pass on the case. A similar case has just been decided by them, following the lines of Judge Bourquin's decision, and it was stipulated that the same ruling shall apply in this case. $100 REWARD To anyone proving that Mayer does not put in the best mainspring made for $1; cleaning $1.50; each guaranteed a year.

LOUIS HAS GONE REPUBLICAN ## AFTER MANY YEARS, DEMOCRATS LOSE MISSOURI METROPOLIS. # LIQUOR FIGHT IS A DRAW ## Neither Side Gained Advantage in Elections Yesterday. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. St. Louis, April 7.—By a majority of 11,463, Frederick H. Kreismann, republican, was elected mayor of St. Louis yesterday. He received 59,816 votes, and his democratic opponent, William G. Woerner, 48,353 votes. The entire republican city ticket was successful. Chicago, April 7.—In the city election the "little ballot" containing propositions for a tax levy to erect a tuberculosis sanitarium carried by a large plurality but the politicians were given several surprises in the makeup of the new council. In the council fight the work of the Municipal Voters' league was effective in defeating four aldermen of the so-called "grey wolf" element. The new Trier township voted itself "dry," driving out the saloons in Grosse Pointe, where the Fort Sheridan soldiers gathered. Tacoma, April 7.—In the councilmanic election the republicans elected seven members and the democrats two, a republican gain of two. San Diego, April 7.—San Diego defeated an anti-saloon ordinance by a heavy majority. Denver, April 7.—The anti-saloon forces were generally victorious throughout the state at municipal elections. Of twenty-five towns eighteen voted to become dry, while seven towns voted to license saloons. Grand Junction has practically voted no license. Kansas City, April 7.—Various elections in Kansas were hotly contested. Leavenworth elected Omar Abernathy mayor, and Wichita chose Charles L. Davidson. Both these contests were under the commission form of government and resulted in its continuance. The "dry" ticket was successful in Topeka but the liberals won in Atchison and Lawrence. Dr. C. W. Allman (dem.) was elected mayor of Atchison largely on the race issue. He had openly declared he did not want the negro vote. He was the only democrat elected. Lincoln, Neb., April 7.—The question of saloon license was the dominating issue in the municipal elections held in Nebraska and the returns show a few surprising changes, but do not indicate a landslide to either side. The gains especially in the smaller towns are on the side of the "dry." Kearney, where a substantial license victory was expected, voted out saloons. Beatrice increased its "dry" vote. Hastings declared for the "wets." New York, April 7.—The Long Island "no license" people met defeat at the polls in all the towns of Nassau and Suffolk counties which include all of Long Island not in New York city limits. Little Rock, Ark., April 7.—Prohibition was overwhelmingly defeated here in the municipal election, in which Mayor Duley was re-elected. Indianapolis, April 7.—The local option wave which has been sweeping Indiana suffered a setback in Blackford and Cass counties, thus breaking the string of victories for the anti-saloon cause. Both counties voted for the regularly licensed saloons and go on record with Wayne county for the "wets." Milwaukee, April 7.—Municipal elections were held in a large number of cities throughout Wisconsin, the issue of "license" or "no license" being at stake. License carried in a majority of the places heard from. About twenty towns voted "wet," while about fourteen voted "dry." Twin Falls, Ida., April 7.—The "wets" carried this city by 77 majority. Carl J. Hahm of the business men's ticket received 226 votes for mayor, while T. J. Warner, the anti-saloon candidate, got 149. The election was influenced by the fact that large railroad and irrigation construction works are to be undertaken in the vicinity of Twin Falls. Contractors feared that prohibition might make it difficult to secure labor and the business men were apprehensive that much business would be delivered to other towns if theirs went "dry." Weiser, Ida., April 7.—The city election passed off quietly. The citizens' ticket was overwhelmingly elected over the people's ticket, known as the "church ticket." Boise, Ida., April 7.—After one of the hottest campaigns in the history of Boise, Joseph T. Pence, democrat, was elected mayor over John M. Haines (rep.), the incumbent, by approximately 150 majority. Have you tried Ind. long distance to Helena or to Anaconda?

PAUL HOPES TO BRING HIM BACK AND SO WRITES CHIEF WYNNE. Chief of Police Wynne received a letter in the mail this morning from St. Paul, from Mrs. Clara Fowler, enclosing a letter, asking that he have it published in the daily papers in the hope that it may reach the eye of her erring husband, George Fowler, and bring about a reconciliation. Apparently the couple have had some differences and the woman believes now that she is as much to blame as the man. The letter is as follows: St. Paul, Minn., April 3, 1909. Dear Sir—I am a poor, heart-broken woman. My husband left me. He had some trouble and did not have heart enough to come and tell me. Now, will you put this in all the papers in your city right on the front page, headed: "George, Come Home." George, come home or do let me hear from you. I'll come wherever you are. We will never mention the past—all is forgivin [sic]. I am just sick and heart-broken. Don't know what to do. I don't know what will become of me if this lasts much longer. I can't live without you. We can both work and start all over again. This has taught both of us a lesson. (Signed) C. M. F. P. S.—Please sign my initials afterwards. I heard he was in Montana and he very seldom opens a paper to read, but just looks over the front page. Please do this favor for me. I'll thank you from the bottom of my heart. Do not put my address in the paper, but I'll give it to you, so if you hear anything you can write me. Mrs. G. Fowler, 208 East Thirteenth street, St. Paul, Minn. # MARY A. SULLIVAN IS NAMED AS GUARDIAN FOR MARGARET MURPHY Mary A. Sullivan of Yellowstone county was today appointed guardian of Margaret Murphy and her minor child by Judge McClernan. The final account of the administrator of the estate of Ellen Murphy, of which Margaret Murphy is the sole heir, was approved by Judge McClernan today and the administrator, Rev. Father DeSiere, discharged. The estate of Ellen Murphy consists of $572.72 in cash and lot 4, block 1, Travonia addition, and will be turned over to Mary A. Sullivan. # CZAR SEEKS SERVICES OF INDIANA CORN KING [spans columns 3-4] [illustration: photograph of a large trophy cup and a man; caption below, spans columns 3-4: LEONARD B. CLORE.] Franklin, Ind., April 6.—Leonard B. Clore has been asked by the Russian government to come to that country for three years and instruct Russian farmers in the methods of raising American corn. Mr. Clore, it is said, will receive $4,000 a year and all expenses. Mr. Clore long has been recognized as king among the corn raisers. He received highest awards at the Paris, Buffalo, Chicago and St. Louis world's fairs, and at the Omaha corn show last December he won the grand sweepstakes, giving him the $1,000 trophy of the American Corn Growers' as- # PEDESTRIANS WILL BE IN BUTTE THIS WEEK [spans columns 3-4] BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Helena, April 7.—With light hearts, but weary after a long day's travel, George R. Chaffee and Robert Illing, two young men who left the Seattle-Yukon exposition grounds February 23, on a walking trip to New York City, arrived in Helena last night. They will leave Helena tomorrow morning for Butte, thence traveling through the middle western states. The young men are making this novel trip in pursuit of pleasure and education and also to make known the facts regarding the Alaska-Yukon exposition in the various cities where they may stop. ## Column 4 # ERIC HAMRY DIES; IT IS MURDER ## HOPKINS ARRESTED AND HELD FOR INQUEST. # WAS THOUGHT HE WOULD LIVE ## Hamry Had Been Improving—Result of Drunken Quarrel. Eric Hamry died at the family home, 2,204 Ash street, at 11 o'clock last night from injuries received by a gunshot wound in a saloon quarrel with John Hopkins on January 26. Both men were drinking in the saloon and Hopkins claims that he was so drunk that he did not know what he was doing. He did not deny having fired the fatal shot. The bullet entered the left shoulder, veered to the right and cut the spinal cord. Hamry was removed to St. James' hospital soon after the shooting, and for a time the doctors held out little hope for his recovery, in view of the fact that he was paralyzed from the neck down. However, in time he showed signs of improvement and it was decided to remove him to his home, where he died last night. Hopkins was arrested by deputy sheriffs and placed in the county jail. A few weeks ago he was released on a bail of $5,000. The only witness to the shooting is Mrs. L. Gagion, in whose saloon near the Pittsmont smelter the affair occurred. Hamry was a ranchman and owned property in Elk park. He was 38 years of age and is survived by a mother, five brothers and three married sisters living at Pittsmont. The brothers are Olaf, John, Jacob, Bren and Cove. Soon after the shooting Hamry's attorney filed a suit against Hopkins for personal injuries. Hamry was a cripple and lost his arm some 10 years ago while out hunting, through a self-inflicted bullet wound. The body of Hamry was brought from the family residence to Richards' undertaking rooms today and this afternoon an autopsy is being held to ascertain the course of the bullet and the nature of the wound. Coroner Davenport is busy today gathering information regarding the shooting and tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock he will hold an inquest at Richards' undertaking rooms. Jack Hopkins was taken into custody this morning by the sheriff's office and locked up on a charge of murder. Pending the result of the coroner's inquiry, the county attorney's office will not file a formal charge. [column 4 continues the Clore article begun in column 3] sociation. At the annual corn show, held in the Colseum [sic] at Chicago in October, 1907, Mr Clore was the exhibitor of the single ear of corn which brought the world's record price of $250 when put up for auction. The prizes which have been won by Mr. Clore have reached a total of $8,000. All of the corn which figured in these contests was raised on a tract of land which contains only 13 acres. The entire farm on which Mr. Clore works consists of but 126 acres, but he and his two brothers all get their living from it. [column 4 continues the Pedestrians article begun in column 3] They started out to walk the entire distance, and they intend to do so, unless they should meet with an accident. Numerous unusual incidents have befallen the young men since they left Seattle, and they anticipate many others before reaching their destination. The young men carry letters from the Seattle chamber of commerce and also from Mayor John F. Miller of Seattle, telling who they are and what they are doing. They also carry a register book in which the name of the mayor, postmaster, or some prominent citizen of every city in which they stop, is registered. Already they have ## Column 5 [advertisement: Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder; spans columns 5-6] [illustration: a frying-pan shape lettered "Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder"] Used by the best families, hotels and restaurants the world over.

At one abandoned station there was but a single individual, a hobo, as the men afterwards learned. He professed to be the mayor, city attorney, chief of police, constable and police judge of the town. After considerable deliberation the men asked him to register his name in the book. He did, and when told to put the name of the city and the date after his name, he informed the young men that writing his name was the only thing in the art of penmanship he had yet learned. ### Refuse Offers to Ride. The young men constantly receive offers to ride from railroad men and farmers along the line, but these offers they always reject. They are determined to walk the entire distance. Several weeks ago when they arrived at the west end of the great Cascade tunnel, they had considerable difficulty in persuading the agent to let them walk through the tunnel. The agent implored the young men to get aboard an engine and ride through, declaring that they would surely be overcome by gasses, if they should happen to be in the tunnel while an engine was passing through. The boys were obdurate, however, and insisted on walking. The agent seeing that the young men could not be deterred, finally yielded to their wishes, but not until he had made them promise to stay at the west end, until the block was so that they could go through without encountering a train. When the block finally became clear the young men started on their journey of two and one-half miles through the tunnel, making the trip in fifty minutes. ### Visit Commercial Clubs. The boys visit the commercial clubs in the various cities where they stop, also pay their respects to the mayor of all of [advertisement: Pape's Diapepsin; spans columns 5-6] # YOUR DISTRESSED STOMACH RELIEVED IN FIVE MINUTES Take your sour stomach—or maybe you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't matter—take your stomach trouble right with you to your Pharmacist and ask him to open a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your former misery.

By making this trip they expect to get a knowledge of the country, which they could not possibly glean in any other way. They report that they have received the most courteous treatment in all of the cities along the line, and were particularly impressed with the cordial reception they got in Missoula. The boys declare the exposition will be one of the grandest things ever held in the west, and they are authorized by the Seattle chamber of commerce to state that the chamber of commerce will establish an information bureau in Seattle during the exposition for the benefit of visitors to the exposition. Mr. Chaffee, the elder of the boys, is a native of Erie, Pa., and came west seven years ago in search of health. He was the timekeeper at the Pan American exposition and at present is associated with an eastern business house. His companion is the son of a prominent Chicago banker and is himself a bank clerk. The young men contemplate writing a book after the trip is completed. # ALMA ANDERSON SENT TO THE STATE ASYLUM FOR INSANE Alma Anderson was examined as to her sanity by Judge McClernan yesterday afternoon and ordered committed to the insane asylum at Warm Springs. The woman appeared greatly depressed and is suffering from melancholia and refused to answer any questions except to say that she came to this country eight years ago and has a sister living in this city. She claimed that she left $200 in the last place she worked, and witnesses have been summoned to testify regarding here [sic] property.

If your appetite is fickle, and nothing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is but one cause—fermentation of undigested food.
