HELENA, Mont. (AP) - The University of Montana received a terse letter recently from a rich man: Until Montanans start showing a little more appreciation for out-of-state landowners like him, don't expect a donation.
The ill will over outsiders in Montana is not new. For years, Montanans have complained that rich people looking for a new lifestyle move to the state, then have the nerve to question Montana's way of doing things when it comes to hunting and fishing.
But the letter last month from the Atlanta-based James M. Cox, Jr. Foundation was a rare example of the financial consequences of that dispute.
