BUTLER MALONE Acc UITTED.
He Goes FREQ on tho Serious Charge
and is Fined $1OO for Assault.


The trial of RIB. Malone, which has been
frequently postponed, was called in the
criminal court yesterday, the trial entered
upon and concluded inside Of three hours
District Attorney Worthington and his first
assistant, Mr.. Taggart, appeared for the
government, and Hon. John s. Wise, Of
Virginia, and Col. George Is. Corkhill for
the defendant. Mr.. Malone was indicted
on the charge Of assault with intent to kill
John Willis in the month Of February,
1885, at Welcker's. Mr.. Malone fired his
pistol two or three times with the intention,
1t is alleged, of killing the colored servant,
at whom he had become very much In
censed. The testimony Showed that the
defendant was very much under the in
tluence OF liquor, and while In this con
dition the difficulty occurred. II was also
shown that drink makes him reckless, In
ritable, and irresponsible.
District Attorney Worthington admitted
that, IL the accused was so much under the
influence Of liquor as not to know what he
was doing or to form an intent he could
only be held for assault, but he proposed to
let the matter go to the jury for their de-
cision.
Justice Macarthur thought that under
the evidence submitted the prosecution
should be content with verdict for assault.
Sufficient had been offered to show that the
defendant was In condition as to make 1t
almost impossible to form an intent, and
the court believed It was justified, upon the
testimony, in instructing the Jury that
their verdict should be for assault. A YER
dict to that effect was given by the jury,
and no motion being interposed Mr.. Malone
was directed to stand up.
Justice Macarthur referred to the sltua-
ton in which the defendant had placed
himself; admonished him as to the risk he
ran in using intoxicating liquors, and sug-
gested that he desist from the use Of 1t; and
then imposed fine of 800, which was paid.

The Protection of Young Girls.

The commissioners have written to Hon.
John s, Barbour in regard to the law for the
protection of girls and for the punishment of
rape. In which they suggest the following
amendment; every person who shall have
carnal intercourse with any minor female un-
der the age Of IS years, otherwise than by
torcibiy ravishing her, shall, upon conviction
thereof, be sentenced to suffer imprisonment
at labor for the first offe nse for period not
exceeding ten years, and for tho second of
tense not less than ten years" The attorney
of the United States for the District In a letter
addressed 10 the commissioners In relation to
the bill, says: ~ think this bill ia step In the
right direction, but 1t goes too far. Under Its
provisions II a boy of is should have inter-
course with girl of II, on her invitation, the

ten years imprisonment such severity of the
law would have the usual effect, Juries would

DIVIDING A RESERVATION.
One Way TO Civiiize indians and to
Improve Rich Country.


Improve Rich Country.
A number of prominent gentlemen Of
Montana territory are now here to secure
action by the Interior Department and by
Congress in the matter Of the division Of
the great Indian reservation in Montana,
now occupied by the Asslniboines, Black
feet, and Grosventres. The desire is to have
the reservation divided into five sections; TO
assign the several tribes OF Indians, rcspec-
lively, to the three alternate sections, the
intermediate two sections to be opened up
for settlement and for railroad purposes.
At present the reservation embraces twenty
three million acres Of valuable lands, and IL
the division should be made as desired,
each Of the three reservations retained for
Indians would contain a fraction less than
1900, 600 acres each, while the two alternate
sections to be opened up as suggested
would contain In the aggregate about H.
600, coo acres. Among the gentlemen in-
terested In this measure are Gov. Houser,
Delegate Toole, ex-Delegate Maginnis, j.
Power Benton, and w. A. Clark, of Butte
City, the latter Of whom is the chairman OF
the committee, sent to Washington for the
purpose Of presenting the constitution OF
the estate Of Montana and to urge the
admission Of the present territory into the
family Of states. These gentlemen have
had conferences with the Secretary OF the
Interior and with the committees on terri
ries OF both houses of Congress, and they
are encouraged by the favorable reception
which their measures have met.
