word reaches US to the effect that at least
two more Of the surveyors who tool govern,

city is about the only one left. These con
tracts were awarded at a low figure, too low
in short, for good work in such country

borrowed money to start in on the work,
then realized that they had bitten off more
than they could chew and in consequence
left the country with several creditors tc
mourn their departure.-B0zeman Chronicle,

Montana Press Association in this city on

accompany them, who must reach Great Falls
by way of Helena, be at the latter city on the
morning Of the 18th to join the excursion
over the Montana Central. The company
will have cars to accommodate the entire
gang" and it is important that all be on
ham that date. Other excursions to the falls
of the Missouri, the Sand Coulee coal fields
and the Milk river valley are provided for.
A banquet will also be rendered the Associa-
ton by the citizens of Great Falls, and in
other ways their visit made pleasant.
Arrangements have already been made for
the transportation of members, both active
and honorary, with their wives, families,
etc. There are, however, some members of
the Territorial press who are not yet connec-
ted with the Association, and we will be glad
to have them join us and become identified
with the organization. All such who make
application to Jerry Collins, Secretary, Great

not pay witnesses, jurors and officers Of the

obliged to incur, and yet We hear the "sur-

1.-THE HEART or BRUCE.
Close Of Thurston,s Address to the Chicago
Convention.

As We gathe- here we remember that
other great convention held in this city in
1850; we remember how 1t was inspired
with wisdom and courage to select the
great man Of the people, that Moses, who
led us through the parted waters Of the sea,
past the wilderness of battle over the Jordan
Of safety into the promised land !; but In 1884
We were driven back into the wilderness
again. May God give US wisdom to find
another Moses who can limit our wander
ings to four years instead of ten.
+. The mighty past Is with us here to-day;
it fills US with that same spirit of freedom,
patriotism and devotion which called into
the common dust Of ordinary humanity the
sublime inspirators Of heroic deeds. Let us
read It's lessons rightly and hold its precepts
dear. When Robert Bruce, the King Of
Scotland. lay upon his dying bed, he re-
oussted that his heart should be taken from
his inanimate body and borne by Kn'ghtly
hands to the S%aviour's s%epulchre. After
his death, James, the Earl of Douglas, un-
dertook the sacred mission, and, with Brucs's
heart encased in q golden casket, set out
upon his pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
On their way thither himself and comrades
were set upon by 4 great host Of Moorish
warriors. Though they fought with ell the
valor of mortal men they were borne back
ward by sheer force Of numbers, and their
overthrow seemed certain, when Douglas
drawing from his bosom the priceless casket,
cast it far out into the midst Of the on com.
ing host, and cried out, "Lead on heart Of
Bruce, we follow thee" And IS Knights
of Scotland who were never defeated. the
whole following Of Bruce pushed forward
and won the day. Let this convention find
q Douglas for our Bruce. He will take the
soul of our great leader into the golden
casket of his love, and with it lead us on to
certain and splendid victory.

A Tornado In Fergus County.
Argus 18th.


Last Thursday the school house in the
Maginnis district, a short distance from
Hon. Granville Stuart's ranch, was struck
by an embryo hurricane and partially de-
molished. School was in session at the
time, nine scholars aud the teacher being
present. The wind tore off the roof and
sprung one side Of the building. Fortu-
nately none of the occupants of the school
were injured, though but for the presence of
mind of a daughter Of Mr.. Rein Anderson,
who, bracing herself against the school
door, refused to allow any of the thoroughly
frightened children to go out, all might have
been killed. as the fence poles aud timbers
20 feet long we're revolving around the build
ing at a frightful rate, and had they struck a
person would surely have caused instant
death. The suction in the chimney and
stovepipe was so powerful as to draw the ex-
treme ends of a stove drum together. The
wind evidently raised after striking the
school house, as we have heard of no other
point being visited by 1t.

we found in Cincinnati the other day. l see
on the outskirts of my congregation to-day
men who are neither lawyers nor judges,
but who are only members of that great So
ciety. the people Of the United States. To
them I would say a few words. The remedy
is very simple, much simpler than burning
court houses, or even organizing vigilance
committees. The remedy is but to return to
the old common law-the law Of England
to-day, which gives each man but one trial
and makes the issue the question of guilt or
innocence, not machinery or procedure. Let
no conviction by a jury be allowed to be set
aside by another court, unless it was wrong
on its merits or unless the prisoner was pre-
vented from making his defence. After a
case has been heard once let that be the end
of tiff there are grounds for mercy present
them to the Governor.
Finally, o Honorable Gentlemen of the
Appellate Courts, I need hardly say that the
cause of the failure of law is not in the law
itself. It is written on the statute book, as
you we'll know, that the murderer shall be
hanged. Across the ocean, in that and
whence our criminal law was brought, JUS
tice is sure and punishment is swift. Yet
almost the same acts are crimes there that
are crimes here, and the same penalties are
provided in both countries. The difference
is only in the administration of that common
law; and because there it is justice and here
machinery which is the primary object Of
the Appellate Courts comes the reason that
that law which in Great Britain is an object
of reverence and regard, the protection of
the weak, the foil against the strong, the
hope of the Innocent and the terror of the
guilty, is in the United States the shield of
the criminal and the despair of the defence
less-a kissing, a by-word and a reproach.
Aud for this reason-because the failure of
the criminal law has been brought about by
these m~ethods-the most cultured and wide
ly circulated magazine in this country is
forced to say That 'the failure of criminal
justice which makes room for mobs and
lynching is a greater disgrace than even the
savagery Of the mobs."
Honorable Gentlemen of the Appellate
Courts, my sermon is ended.
The above will be followed next week by
the first of a series of articles by an eminent
attorney of Montana, in which a remedy will
be suggested for the evils complained of in
