Another Mammoth Building I'm pros
pecf.

A RIVER PRESS reporter has been informed
BY Mr.. Louis Hoffman, manager of Klein
schmidt Bros establishment il this city, that
the latter propose as early as possible next
spring to begin the erection Of a mammoth
business building, their present quarters be-
ing entirely too small. They propose to
erect one Of the most substantial houses in
the Territory, the location for which has not
yet been determined upon, and one that will
be q credit to the river metropolis. They had
intended to build here this season but their
attention vas almost entirely engrossed by
business affairs in other parts of the Territory.
"HoW are the Messrs. Kleinschmidt salts
fed with their business in Benton 81 inquired
the reporter.
s'They are well pleased and inasmuch as
it is the best paying house they have in the
Territory | should think they ought to be-"
'sWhere else are they represented? p
s'Ihey have two large houses in Helena
and one each in Benton, Butte, Deer Lodge,
Bozeman, Glendiye, Dillon, Boulder and
perhaps other points. don't pretend to keep
track Of all Of them
The Kleinschmidt Bros. rank among the
most extensive dealers and the best business
men in the Territory and their foresight leads
them to believe that Benton is the CONNER
cial town of the Territory-hence their de-
termination to put money IN q large block at
this place.
It is two or three years since any member
of the firm has been in Benton and during
that time the entire management Of the house
has deYolYed upon Mr.. Hoffman. That he
has exercised great good judgment and
.'done everything for the best is shown by
the largely increased besiness Of the firm and
its splendid condition to-day.

| work began ia good earnest. The several
attorneys did themselves honor in the way
they handed the case, but it was evidentfrom
the beginning that the defense had 10 hill
work. There was too much pure cussedness
about the shooting to admit OF the Unsuitable
or self-defense theories, and we are only
surprised that they did not ring in the insani-
tY dodge. MIR. Settle made an elaborate and
powerful plea for Starr and his effort is
highly spoken Of by those who heard him.
Col. Donne)ly closed the argument in a brief
speech, just TO the point, utterly demolishing
the logical structure that had been erected
by his opponents. He said that to dismiss
the defendant would be to license shooting
on the slightest provocation, and in the name
OF the community asked the Judge not to do
such q thing. After the close Of the argu-
ment Judge Tattan reviewed the case and
the evidence submitted at some len 9Th and in
the ~clearest possible manner. He showed
that the self-defense theory was not sound,
as the evidence clearly established the fact
that STAIRS life was not in danger nor was
there any probability Of his suffering bodily
harm at the hands Of Ingersoll. The latter
was not armed; he made nc attempt to strike
Starr, and never indicated that he would use
q deadly weapon. 1t was an unproyoked
and outrageous attempt to take a human life
and the Judge said he regarded it as an ag-
gravated case. The peace and dignity Of
Benton and Choteau county demanded that
such g crime should not go unpublished and
he would therefore hold the prisoner subject
70 the action of the grand jury in the sum of
$40, 900.
Starr who had listened to the Judges words
with doWncast head gave d sudden start
when the amount Of the bail was named. It
staggered him. He didn't expect that life
was held SO sacred in this frontier town and
we suppose commenced to realize about that
time that there is not so much fun in shoot
ing down men after all. He was remanded
to jail, and his attorneys, we understand, will
apply to the District Judge in Helena for Q
reduction Of the bail. The ID. J.. should keep
his hands off. Saving and excepting the
hecord, whose editors are Starts attorneys,
the action of Judge Tattan receives the solid
endorsement Of this community. The strong
arm Of the law should come down heavily on
sach offenders to the end that repetitions of
the crime may not occur.
"Justice, like lightning, ever should appear
To few mems ruin, but to all mems fear"

@ for HIS Appearance I'm the Dss-

On Thursday last r, z. Starr, the mate of
the Red Cloud, was arraigned before His
Honor, Judge Tattan, for assault and bat
terry with o deadly weapon On the person of
Charles Ingersoll, or "Tapioca." The de-
feadant, Starr, was represented by Attorneys
Settle, Stevenson and Hunt while the in
terests of the Territory were well looked af-
ter by Col. Donnelly assisted BY Max Water
man.
The Judge called the case about ten o'clock
and the examination Of witnesses began,
those called by the prosecution being first
examined. The examination throughout was
protracted and tedious, but sa..large and appre-
ciatiye audience sat it out all day and seemed
highly interested In the proceedings. Dick
Brennan, r. w. Cummings, Mike Lynch, 4.
J. Todd, John Lambert, Jack Hanna and 9
few others testified pro and con, and the facts
brought out are not materially different from
those published in the RIVER PRESS after
the shooting. The defense labored hard to
make it appear that Starr used his gun in
self-defense, but the result Of the examina-
ton shows very clearly that the Court was
not deeply impressed with their ideas.
After the testimony was all in the wind
