Pound Guilty.

William X. Roberts, for years treas
urer of Lewis and Clarke county, and
who was on trial at Helena for the
embezzlement of SIS. .252 of the county
funds, was on the 18th convicted. The
defendant admitted that by the books
kept by him, he should have turned
over to his successor s3s, ,252, but claim
ed that said books are incorrect, II he
did not have said sum, or that the
money was stolen fro n him during
sickness without his criminal negli-
gence or consent. In less than an
hour the jury reached an agreement.
The defendant Il an old and infirm
man and IL was expected that the sym
pathy Of the jury, many Of whom had
known him for twenty years. would
balance much of the circumstantial
evidence. When guilty" was pro-
nounced the old man burst into tears
and an oppressive silence fell upon all.
A hill of exceptions will be filed and
motion for a new trial made.

forty.eight hours, and shows no signs
of abatement. Street cars have not

ing oeavy gale from the north and
drifting the snow very badly. Trains

turbance. Canton, Eagan and other
points state that the storm is no less
severe there and Canton special says

from that village.
ST. PAUL, Nov. l7.-At midnight

Ing been delayed. On roads southeast
and southwest there has been much
trouble. The Milwaukee regular
train due here at 226 o'clock, o. m,
and fast mail due here ut 1925 O'Clock,
y. M, were delayed ten hours at
Langdon by q drift ten feet deep and
400 feet long. The same drift stopped
the east bound limited which left here
tonight. All trains on the western
division Of the Omaha line have been
abandoned, also those on the Sioux
City division. No serious accidents
are reported.
MINNEAPoLIs, Nov. 17.-Reports
