'In dation to the hetihalce*dlngs -i this cap I ish shsBose p- tisulars for your luforma-tion: tlpon affidavit of J 3. A.McGlynn, that he had been dea&4the rig t to make a 00,lA .add maat Elles City, ad hand been takuto a train a -i stnacted tothe town at once, I directed thecounty attorney of Casitr county toinvestigate and institute the properproceedings against the persons whohad thus violated the law.

SOME OUTOF THE CITY"While but four or fee persons

were charged in McGlynu's aofdavitwith the amton against him stated,the county attorney on has own me-tion made twenty-one defendants inthe proceeding that he sibsequentlyinstituted. It later developed that#Everal of these defendanth werenot in Miles City at the time theacts recited above were committedand hence could have no possbleconnection with them. Whether ofnot the county attbrney latluded the-names of thee twenty-on men inthe prosecution for the perpese atdiacreditmii and ifeating the endsof justie , I am unabid to say.

"My own cemnection with the easwas misrepreae ted. Because in aletter I adied protection for Mt'-Glyp and his witnesses, It was madeto appear that I was afraid physicalieiase would be er.ed me.

CLOUD UPONHII ZON"A cloud has arisen upon Mon-

tana's horizon that threatens direcoasequ~nees td the people of thestate. -Class is being arrayed againstclass, and bitterness is being engen-dered; and if the lawlessness citedis not put down, and the right offree speech is not rescued from thediasrdpte thrown upon it, in myopinion, conditions may follow thatwill do the pople and the fair nameof the state incalculable injury.

"Lawlessues. begets lawlessness,and wherq individuals or classes ofcitizens are refused their-legal rightsby violence, the ordinary and naturalresult is to stir the people wrongedto retaliatory violence and lawless-anes, which, as is well known to allstudents of political matters, finallyrulta in the total disregard of lawandi --and ends in anarchy.

LAWS ARETRAMPLE- UPON"If .the deeds referred to hereinpiIpM unfortunately result in th

ry or d'sth of men subjected towgialifa thiS way, in agy thial that

aiht follow .'in court, It would bewmipeasivbly abown that the" legal

rAgli. individuals had been with-drawn - from them and the plainprovisions of the constitution andlaws of the state trampled upon.

"In these duprivations of therlidts. of individuals precedents inlawlesseas and v io1nce extremelydangeroua to the conservative an IIwa-abidli g people is r aring ithead that may bring down uponthem appalling penalties.

"This is a strenuous period, and itis diIcult for people to display theeasts self control and at and thinkas they doin normal times; but, ofall classes of society, control,--mod-eratlom-ead due. respect for law cer-tainly is, most to be exrc cted fromthe very people who at this timeseem disposed to take the law intotheir own hands.

usteia of the denials of the rightofie. speech and the right to makepublic addesrs in this state, andin view of the purpose .for Whichthe state council of defense was cre-at d, as I se it, I am constrainedto suggest to your honorable bodythat you t 4eps to reinforce andassist the orinary authorities in re-

Every one who knows me,know that I haw or ver been any-
