e. THE INLAND EMPIRE VOL. I. No. 14 • MOORE, MONTANA, DECEMBER 14, 1905 Devoted to the interests of Rock Creek Bench and 'Judith Basin. •ANOTHER FAKE ARREST An Honest Hard -Working Man Ar- rested for Stealing and Case Falls to around An employe of the telephone coin- . pony, while crawling -under the Argus office some time ago, in the performance of his duties, found the plunder stolen from Samuel Studzinski's \place the night he was murdered, together with stuff stolen from the Golden Rule store. Mr. Akin, of the Golden Rule, • was called upon to identify his goods, .which he promptly did,. and swore. out a.complaint against Charlie . Bebb for • the theft of the goods. .,Bebb was im- mediately. arrested .:and placed in jail, but was released Wednesday after- noon, no evidence sufficient to hold him having been produced. There has been a tendency among Bebb's friends to blame Ed. Martin for the arrest of Bebb, but he had nothing to do with It other than to serve the. warrant, which was his duty regardless of his personal feelings. 'Anyone who has known Bebb intimately can hardly be- lieve that he is a thief. - The finding of the plunder under the Argus proves conclusively that the party, or parties, who have been doing the petty thieving around Lew- istown for months past are the ones who killed Stncliinski and the pet la tieing drawn closer and closer te the guilty parties. 'Developments are • ex- pected hourly. It is to be hoped that • success will soon crown the efforts of the officers who have worked zealously to run the criminals to earth. To Investigate State Institutions of Learning. Hon. W. E. Harmon, superintend- ent of public instruction, Prof. E. 0. Busenburg and Hon. E. L. Paul, mem- bers of the state board of education, have been appointed- by Governor Toole a committee of investigation to visit all the public institutions of leartilnrin the -state- and report on their general condition at the June - eneeting of the board. The committee has ,instructions to pay especial atten- tikin to proficiency of the professors in the different branches with a view to ,eliminating .. al all inefficiency and putting our ; public institutions on a. par with ;any ,in the United States- This is un- doubtedly a move forward iti the edu- cational line and the result .will be seeped in future years in the -produc- tion of a high standard of learning In the graduatesld our state ineritu- The. county commissioners have awarded the contract for medical care and supplies for the poor for the com- ing year to Dr. H. H. Wilson for *450 and $1 per mile outside the 20 -mile limit. This is just $50 lower than the existing contract with Dr. Wilson, the present figure being $500 and 1111 per mile outside the 20 -mile limit. Wil- liam Medigar has been again awarded the contract for the care of the poor at the county poor farm, the contract price being $5.50 per person, the same as at present. The contract for sup- plying the county coal was awarded to the Montana Coal company for $3.95 per ton, delivered. BASKET DINNER DEC. 27th The Program Gommittee Arrang- ing for a Big Time at the Ranchers' Meeting. A. D. Barney of the . Fariners' ancl Ranchers' Protective association has received a communication from F: B. Linfleld, secretary of the administra-' tive board of the Montana. Farmers' Institute, Bozeman, stating that Prof. Elliott will be here Dec. 27th, the af- ternoon and evening. He also informs M. Barney that posters 'and postal cards will be sent to* ranchers in the county advertising the meeting. Pro - yams will also be Printed and' distri• butad. The only expense that will fall on the local order iathat of a meeting place and it is expected that every rancher on the bench will be present and take apart in the meeting wheth- er he belongs to the Farmers and Ranchers' association or not, and here we will say that a cordial invita- tion is evtended to everybody to join the association. It is the intention of the committee on program to have a good old fashioned dinner in the hall, furnished by the good cooks of ''the bench which will undoubtedly take in every' rancher's wife, and we hope, - 1 cause a friendly rivalry as to who will have the best basket of grub.

HST BE ASSESSED AT HOME Attorney General Galen Renders an Opinion on Assessment of Cattle hi One County at One Time and Another County at Another Time, • Attorney General A. J. Galen ten- dered an opinion having to do with the .assessment for taxation of cattle that are in one county at .one season and in a different county at another season, in response to a letter from J. W. Duffy of the Granite county board of commissioners—According to the facts presented to the attorney gener- al, Rupp & Greenock of Granite coun- ty- F took some - cattle into Beaverhead county in November,' 1904. for feeding, and in the spring of 1905 shipped them out, ,presumably to market. The cat- tle were assessed in Beaverhead coun- ty. Attorney General Galen refers to the supreme court decision in the Flower- . ree case and concludes that the decis- ion in this suit. - rules in a situation like that presented by 'the . Granite county chairman, although the Gran- ite county cattle were not returned to that county after their winter's feed- ing in Beaverhead, and that they may be assessed in Granite county, wherein 14`located the home ranch and range. The general opinion in Fergus coun- ty, as expressed by past county treas- urers and assessors, is that the attor- ney general is wrong in his opinion. It- seems that for a number of years past cattle hayebeen assessed in Fer- gus county under the conditions -as ex- pressed above and the taxes paid with- out dissent. It is a question that seems to be of general interest through- out the state and may possibly be passed upon by the supreme court of the United States.
