Last week, as the climax of another public fund drive, the Montana Historical Society took title to a private collection of Russell paintings valued at $300,000. The estate of Rancher-Broker Malcolm Sutherland Mackay agreed to take $50,000 for the collection, after a drive was launched to keep it in the state.
