NOT SO WILD WEST

HELENA, MONT. - The once wild west

where the six-gun was the law has

changed. State and government peace

officers and law-making officials

have seen to it. Here six Montana

"Cowboy" legislators are shown in-

dulging in a few minutes of horse-

play on a Western museum piece be-

tween sessions at the state capitol

Helena. All cattle ranchers,

they are, left to right, State Sen-

ator Willis Spear, Kirby; House

Majority Leader Charles Scofield,

Biddle; State Rep. George O'Connor,

Fromber; Rep. Jack Toole, Shelby;

Senator M.J. Lott, Twin Bridges;

and Rep. Leonard Esp, Grey Cliff.

The cowboy boots and ten gallon hats

are in evidence, but not one six-

shooter is in sight.
