Sheriff Black and Deputy McNaught
of Choteau county passed through here
today on the Manitoba train with three
prisoners en- route to the Deer Lodge pen
They are Max Hoppe, sentenced for &c
years for murder in the second degree
Fitzgerald, sentenced for the same term
and fer like offense; John McCue, sen
fenced for IS months for Jail breaking
Sheriff Black has still another prisoner
Dan Hart was sent up for two years TO
assault with intent to kill-to convey tt
the penitentiary, but the prisoner has still
80 days to serve in Jail for another offens'
committed. Hoppe, the fiend who muir
dered young Adams, is a German abou
40 years Of age. His neck was saved OF
the theory that he is Of unsound mint
and his actions on the train today would
indicate that the jury had good reason tt
regard him as crazy. He appears to be
crank Of the Guiteau type and resemble
that distinguished fiend very much. TIL
sheriff will take his prisoners to Butte to
night and tomorrow morning will turf
them over to Marshal Kelly.
