avalanche and have threatened him with
all sorts of retaliation. Some Of them
have even gone so far as to assert that

threatening to pay them up to the last
cent including interest, and transfer their
patronage to Col. Broadwater's bank.
Il is said that Cashier Knight is much
alarmed and is anxious that samuel
should have permission to return ana
that the city guarantee him against

Only One Case of Ac
quittal in Choteau
Court.

Special to the LEADER.
Fort BENTON, Nov. M.-Court has
adjourned and the term has been an
eventful one. Four murder cases were
tried.
Charles Gordon, for the murder of j. A.
Lavelle, was sentenced to be hanged on
the 18th Of January, 1889.
Michael Fitzgerald, convicted yesterday
of murder in the second degree, was SEN
fenced this morning to twenty years i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. Fitz-
gerald is a bad character, and is said to
have killed man in Southwestern Mon
tana. He is also wanted in Texas
for a crime committed there. He
claims that Ex-Governor Ireland, of
Texas, was his guardian, and that
he has a brother-in-law In Colorado,
who is prominent lawyer.
Max Hoppe, who killed Adams near
Fort Conrad last summer, was tried to-
day and convicted of murder in the
second degree, and sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary.
The Indian, Wolf Moccasin, escaped
conviction on account of there being only
one witness to the murder examined in
court. The most important witness IAN
Indian) having been spirited across the
border into Canada. This was the only
case in which the criminal was not con-
victed.
Dan Hart, convicted Of assault with in
tent to kill, was sentenced to two years
in the penitentiary. Hart was formerly
boot-b black in the East and is Il mere
youth, but a tough character.
The records of this term of court in
Choteau county will stand as Il terror to
evil doers. They will see that the citi-
zens of this county are determined to sup
press crime through the agency Of the
courts.
County Attorney S. H. McIntirc CON
Quoted the prosecutions in such all able
monnar that he has received the highest
praise from the court, bar and citizens.
AL of which he richly deserves.
