Pardoned.

Governor Hauser on Tuesday issued par
don for Samuel Allison, who was sentenced
to the penitentiary for two years Mt the De-
cember term, 1884, Of the District Court at
this place. The offense was shooting scrape
between Allison and Christopher A. Lee, at
Anaconda. 1t turned out there was an old
feud between them, which dated back to the
time Allison,was Deputy Sheriff OF Shoshone
,ounty, Idaho, and had incurred Lees en-
nifty while doing his official duty. The point
that told against Allison was that he went
into saloon where Lee was, and the row
occurring then and there, IL looked rs though
Allison was "hunting" Lee. Such, however,
does not now appear to have been the case,
and Allisons character shows up to have
been first-class. Lee fell In a mining SHAFT
some time since and was killed, but prior
thereto told the facts Of the matter and Of
fered 70 sign pet,tisn for Allisons pardon.
An investigation, showing that Allison
sh ould never have been convicted, Governor

Misssuliaa. Sent. 1Sth.

Information reached town yesterday after
noon thata young German named August
Troutwein, living In the bend about eight
miles below town, across the river, had been
found In the road near his place shot through
the head. He had two sheaves Of oats by
him ard had evidently been to his field to
get feed and was on his way back 70 his
house. Who committed the murder Is ut
present unknown. A small band Of Indians
were camped BY his garden Wednesday
evening, and IA Is thought that possibly he
bad some trouble with them about their
taking vegetables or other things, and that
they killed him out OF revenge. There are
also other theories In regard to the case
which will be developed hereafter. The In
dians thoughtto be implicated In the murder
left the place yesterday morning. Troutwein
was promlsing young man about twenty
two pears old. His father, who ID working
ut Benefits ranch, near Stevensville, was
sent word immediately Of the sad affair.

60 CHAs. s. FEE,
Gen1 Pass'gr Agent


Under examination the old gentleman said
he had son living Gin Adams Territory,
near Colfax," and the selectmen Of Brattle-
boro had bought him a ticket to "Three
Rivers" he thought, and 1t had run out.
He had been very sick for the last day or
two before he was taken off the cars at Gar
rison, and during that time some one stole
his bundle Of clothing and bedding.
Putting the facts and circumstances to-
gether, 1t is evident the old man has q son
living near Colfax, Washington Territory;
that he was INDECENT, and the "Selectmen"
of Brattleboro bought him ticket to some
Western point to get rid of him. His sleep
ing. car fare was paid to Colfax, but he does
moi know Of any other ticket. He Is not
crazy, but his memory is failing from age.
He should not have been taken off here.
Commissioner Batterton is now COMMUNE
eating to End the son of the old gentleman;
and when found the Northern Pacific Com
pany should give him transportation to Col
fax, as his ticket calls for. He will be taken
care of here until his son is found, but the
Northern Pacific Railroad cannot fairly do
less than carry him to the destination Of his
ticket, now that the charge of insanity is
officially declared not well founded.

At the examination yesterday before Judge

berg, upon the charge of causing the death
of their little daughter Clara, by inhuman
treatment, Messrs. Carter g. Clayb ap-
pearcd for Edward Rehberg and Casey &
voss for Louisa Rehberg, the step-mother.
The testimony given by the family at the
examination showed . condition Of ignor-
ance and disregard of the nature of an oath
wholly unexpected from persons holding the
position OF responsible human beings. Such
q herd let run without instruction or any
teachings Of accountability will surely be the
fruitful source Of other crimes than beating
little sister to death. For such as they q
house of correction would be an exalted
home far above their den Of ignorance and
vice. Both defendants were held in 81 900
bonds to appear before the next grand jury,
In default Of which Louisa Rehberg was re-
naEded to Jail and the husband WIS held
upon his own recognizance.

A BUSY BEE.


The Industries OF Thief In Two Weeks.
Two weeks ago last Monday a young fell
low, aged % years, and named Ed. Huston,
stole horse and saddle from the stable of
Howell Thomas, near Anaconda, and COM
ing down the valley stole a shot gun from
William Walker, "a gun belonging to Joe
LODGE. At the Deer Lodge crossing, below
here, he traded the Thomas horse to Brazil
Lynch for bay horse, which he rode to Gar
rison. At Garrison he traded the shot gun
to the clerk in O'Neill's Hotel for watch
He next turned up at Bearmouth, where he
told John Lehman he had gone asleep on the
train and the conductor had carried him past
his destination. and that he was waiting for
an east-bound train. He went over to p.
Birminghams and hung around during the
day, and the same night returned to Lennan's
stable, where he stole q saddle belonging to
Peter Lehman and a horse of John Lehso,
which he had left there while he went to the
circus at Missoula.
Sheriff McMaster had meantime got q
pointer on him, had recovered the shot gun
and the Thomas horse; and had fled his de-
rStiPsioh WIN uoiBuUOTlng OnefluS. Inc
next tidings Of him were from Sheriff
Churchill at Helena last Monday, saying he
had the lad. Sheriff McMaster went over
Tuesday and brought him back here, where
he Is in durance. 1t appears he sold Lehso's
horse to man in Prickly Pear valley, got
$40, and started toward Butte last Sunday
night. He met a man on the road, asked the
distance to Butte, ETC., and the man in his
innocence sent him to his cabin, some or 8
miles from Helena, where the distances, ETC.,
were posted on the door. Huston went to
the house, and being quite alone, nipped the
mans gun and returned to Helena. Here he
put up at Vests stable and traded Lenuan's
saddle to Douglas, receiving 81 boot on the
transaction. Meantime the man whose rife
had been stolen returned home, ascertained
his loss, tracked Huston back to Helena and
put Sheriff Churchill on his trail. Soon
after his horse was found tied up at Chicago
Joe's, on Wood street, and Huston was found
In the house. He is an Industrious and bust
ness-like thief, to say the least, but his judy
ment was bad. He played the moth and
candle racket and got scorched.
