The sentences imposed upon the convicts
at Deer Lodge yesterday were in the main
seemingly severe, but they were none too
hard for the character of the crimes. The
law assumes a double motive in dealing
with criminals, first to punish the evil
doer and next tc deter others from follow
ing their example. Making the law a terror
for the criminal IS the only way to keep
down crime and the Montana Judges seem
to be proceeding on that theory in the adj
ministration of justice.

BY the conviction and sentence OF Herr
Most and bis associates the law has been
fully vindicated and justice satisfied. As the
Recorder in passing sentence aptly remarked
it is a pity that the sentences could not be
more severe. However, the fact that the
trials and convictions were SO speedy and
the punishment so severe will have a good
effect upon the class of which the prisoners
were the leaders. They are at best but
ards, and the idea of being jailed has
enough terrors for them to make them
keep quiet for a time at least.

LADIES, AID SOCIETY PICNIC.
A Beautiful Dsy-A Good Attendance
Splendid Grounds.

If the weather had been made to order
for this, the first picnic of the season, from
Butte to Anaconda, no improvement. could
have been made upon that OF yesterday.
Ooudless, and neither too warm nor too
cool it was all that could be desired in
every respect, and when the we'll appointed
excursion train left the depot it carried 200
as contented and happy men, women and
children as ever left the city together.
The run to Anaconda was made IN an
hour and a hall, the train arriving there at
10 O'Clock, aud a few minutes later those
who remained in the cars were conveyed
at the end OF the track above the town and
landed upon the finest natural

Spring Creek parting above and Joining be-

of level bottom land covered with a luxu.

age completely shades the ground. Upon
the north side
forty by eighty feet with 12-foot walls is
being built, acd if lumber can be obtained
will be completed in time for the Ancient
Order OF United Workmen picnic the 9th
instant. The pavilion, which will cost
1900, and the other improvements upon
the ground are contributions made by the
large-hearted citizens Of Anaconda to the
pleasure seekers OF Butte and neighboring
owns. When serpent;ne paths are cut
through the dense growth of poplars, arbors
are built and benches placed at conven-
lent distances apart, the Anaconda
picnic grounds will stand ~unequalled
in the west as summer
pleasure resort. On the south side
and toward the upper end OF the
island, Mr.. Robert Morrill,, at a cost Of
5000, has erected a revolving swing run by
horse power capable of seating fourteen
adults, and as many more Children. 1T was
literally %patronized during the day. When
separated into couples and small groups,
each wandering wherever incl. ed ard all
enjoying themselves with a zest experienced
only by those who for months have seen
nothing but bare walls, rugged, barren hill
sides or dusty streets.
THE LADIES AID SOCIETY,
under whose auspices the picnic was ar
ranged for the benefit OF the NJ. E. Church
of this city, had a large tent spread near
the pavilion, from which they served an
elegant lunch with Strawberries, pure ice
lemonade and buttermilk on the
side. The lunch stand was under the i'm
mediate and efficient supervision OF
Mesdames w. E. King, Samantha Allen. L..
