THE THIRTY MILE RACE.
The Race Agairsti17 Made in 1873 a.

The Race Against l:l7 Made IN l:2b a..
Notwitb standing it was rather raw day,
with sharp northeast wind blowing, sew
eral hundred people, including many ladies,
assembled On the race track last Saturday
afternoon to see w. V. Smith make his
thirty mile ride. DR.. A. Ii. Mitchell and
Col. W. ". Botk.n were selected as Judges
and timers, and, taking the stand, Smith
went into the saddle and lit out at about
2:45 p. m. He was in good condition and
was laced up to diminutiveuess worthy Of
o cadet. Mr.. Booth who is to ride the 60
mile race at Butte with him on May I'd,
was present and rode the last mile with
him. Mr.. Smiths proposition was to ride
the thirty miles in one hour aud seventeen
minutes, which gave him two minutes and
thirty -four seconds 10 the mile, including
changes. Only six miles were ridden with
In that time, viz: the LIST, I'd, 9th, 18th,
18th and 2lst, which were made respective
ly in 2:25, 2:25, $50, 2:30, $50 and 2:30.
The slowest mile was the 10th-3:1e. Some
OF the horses were in horrid bad condition
just Off the range with scarce any grain
or training, and 1t was some time before
they became accustomed to the running
mount. Considerable time was lost by
their shying as the change was made. Mr..
Smith is q fine rider, and bis changes when
the horses are steady are very quick. He
rides at a rafting gait almost to the score,
pulls up sharp, leaps from the horse while
running, and, as 1t is siezed by an attend
ant runs to the next, which is held in
waiting, takes the rein In his left hand,
clasps both about the horn of the saddle,
vaults into it and Is away flying before
placing his feet In the stirrups. 1t was
very evident all he needed was fair horses
In fair training TO make the run In 1:l7.
During the ride he took two or three swal-
lows of milk and bites Of bread, and came
out fresh and brisk. Although 1t looks
easy, a 80 80 or 100 mile ride on run,
with 30 many mounts and dismoun s, must
be severe test OF endurance. AS the
purse Of $50 was not conditioned on the
time being made, it was promptly paid
over,

Report OF Grand Jury.

Published BY order OF the Court
In the District Court of the Second Judica
District OF the Territory OF Montana, In
and for the county Of Deer Lodge.
- APRIL TERM, A. d. 1880.
To the Hon. Vim. J. Gal6raith, Judge of said
Court:
Your Grand Jury respectfully beg leave
TO report.
We have fully and carefully Investigated
all offenses brought to our notice, and have
found true Bills of Indictment in all cases
where We believed the law and the facts
would warrant conviction.
We have visited and made careful exami-
nation OF St. Joseph's Hospital, tho county
jail and the Montana Penitentiary, and
found all these institution In excellent con-
dition and we'll managed. We especially
commend the cleanliness, neatness aud
order of st. Joseph's Hospital and It's sur
roundings, and believe its inmates could
not DO In better hands.
The Penitsntiary building is greatly
crowded, and We urge the importance--we
might say necessity--of the speedy com
pletion Of the north wing yet unfnished)
and the erection OF the central structure in
accordance with the original plans, aud we
hope tho authorities and people Of the
entire Territory will unite In such efforts
as may be necessary TO secure this result.
We believe the Warden has intelligently
and faithfully discharged his difficult
daties, and made the best dispositions
possible with the means ct his command
but, with the present facilities, we do not
believe he can much longer meet the
rapidly increasing demands upon his care,
with due regard to the health and safety
OF the victims Of the law"
A large number OF the offenses that have
been brought to our. notice have been OF
the most trivial character. Some OF these
We could not ignore, but believe 10 many
cases where we have felt constrained to In.
dict, that the Law could have been fully
satisfied In the lower courts with great
saving Of time and expense TO the county
and 70 all parties concerned.
We therefore earnestly urge upon the
officers and citizens Of our county the pro-
priety and expediency OF the trial and
adjudication of petty ofenses In the Pro
bate and Justices courts, where jurisdic
ton 10 given under the law.

SINGULAR DELAY,

After eighteen months the Washburn gang
have suddenly awaked to the fact that Bill
Washburn is accused of buying his seat.
When the testimony was being taken Wash
burn was oblivious to the charges and did
not dare to cross examine many of the wit
nesses. Yesterday mornings Pioneer Press
published an extract from Emil Shagren's
testimony and the Washburn gang suddenly
pounce upon Emil to destroy him. Cadwal-
lader Washburn rushes into print with an
affidavit denying that the bribery was perpe-
trated. The testimony has.been four times
printed in the GLOBE, the first time being
nearly eighteen monts ago. It was printed by
the House nearly year ago, and all this
time there has been an ominous silence. On
the eve of the expulsion of his brother for
bribery, G. G. Washburn rushes in to deny.
This delay is very suspicious. Why did he
not make denial sooner. The testimony
has been public. Bill Washburn had an
attorney present when all this testimony was
taken, and he did not attempt to break down
the witnesses. On the contrary, Emil
Shagren was endorsed as an honest witness
by several others, and his testimony had
corroborating evidence.
Under such circumstances it looks little
like death bed effort to put in the present
denial. 1t is done for temporary effect on
the House at Washington. The GLOBE
gives no credence to such suspicious elev-
enth hour effort. Too many similar cases
of bribery are proven and the fact that they
pounce upon one only for denial, shows the
desperation of their cause. 1t is too late
to bring in your lying rebuttals, Mr.. Wash
burn,

COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM. By Theodore D.
WOolsey. Published by Charles Scribners
Sons. New York. For sale by st. Paul Book
and Stationery company.
A few months ago series of weekly articles
appeared in the New York Independent treating
of communism and modern socialism. These
articles have been republished in book form
and with the object of confuting this system
which aims at gaining the control over all
civilized States. To the believer in socialism,
and to the seeker after information regarding
it and its aims, we would commend this book
as giving the history of the earliest commun-
lists and stretching the features of socialism
1t presents also a vivid picture of the results
sure to follow if this system shall overthrow
the present order of things.

that the salaries of the superintendent, assist
ants and laborers have never been fixed by any

Upon for $500, Owing to the Obstruction
of the County Treasurer.
The regular meeting of the bridge com
mission held yesterday morning at The

bers of the board.
Mr.. Cochran reported that the draft pre-
pared by County Attorney Egan applying
for the money appropriated by the govern
ment would be sent to the secretary of wal
together with the report of United States
Engineer Allen in dap oe so.
The matter of the condemnation of land
in Hennepin county for the proposed new
roads to the bridge came up and
County Attorney Eagan stated that he would
be ready to take the preliminary steps in the
matter to-day or as soon as maps which were
now being prepared by the city engineer
were completed.
The bill of Horton & Co., for anchoring
the bridge to the piers, which, amounting to
$599.O7, was referred to the city engineer
for examination.
The following bill was presented by Mr..
Horton:

tion of United States Engineer Allen. 1T 90

Mr.. Dawson suggested that the bill be
changed and the amount for work done on
the bridge presented separate. This was
done by Mr.. Horton, and the bill for work
referred to the city engineer for examation,
and the other referred to the county attor-
ney. In connection with bill referred
to the county attorney, Dir. Horton stated
that he had no other recourse for the ex-
pense and loss he had been put to by the ar
bitrary discretion of the country treaaurer
than to make the commission pay the bill.
A bill of 1896. Is for testing iron at Pitts
burg, presented by Horton IL Co., Was also
referred to the city engineer, that gentle
man being of the opinion that The charge fol-
testing was exhorbitant. Adjourned.
