A CURIOUS CASE.
A Man Accused Of Larceny Who Remem-
beers Nothing About It.

A Man Accused Of Larceny Who Remem-
bers Nothing About It
Judge Sanders has very peculiar case
under consideration. He is going to decide
this morning whether Cbas. Wilson is
guilty or innocent of larceny. It will be re-
membered that few days ago Wilson went
up to the st. Louis hotel, engaged room,
took all the bedclothes, rolled and tied
them up, threw them out the window and
then placed them in the hallway. Next,
Wilson stole Carl Kleinschmidt's fur over
coat which was placed in the coat room of
the Cosmopolitan.
The case came up for trial yesterday.
Wilson is middle aged man of respectable
appearance and we'll dressed. Nobody
would think of accusing him of such Il
theft. He sat in the court room, express
sionless. but his gaze fixed steadily on the
attorneys. His wife sat close to him, but
he never exchanged a word with her during
the trial. His attorneys admitted that he
took the articles in question. No effort was
made to deny it. When Wilson took the
stand he disciaimed any knowledge of the
affair.
Wilson has soldierly bearing. He is a
good looking man and is sergeant III the
Second cavalry at Fort Custer. and is visit
ing uelena UNDER fnrlOugn. Ills 6ttOr-
neys showed by evidence that after he had
been drinking the effect generally led him
to strange and unaccountable conduct.
When sober he is perfectly sane and ra-
tional in his every action, but he has fire.
quent'y done some surprising things. Be
ing q man of good bearing, and as the evi.
dence showed, of good moral and social
character. his conduct in this particular il
the more surprising. Mr.. Nolan, the pros.
ecuting attorney. illustrated with what pre-
caution and perverseness he carried on
these doings. and to his way of thinking,
criminal intent alone was behind Wilson'S
actions, as no asked for good room and
then took the precaution TO conceal the
overcoat. To Judge Sanders the case waf
puzzling and he concluded to take the mat.
ter under consideration. 1t looks az though
his honor will have to pass upon the sanity
OF the prisoner while laboring under the in
tiuence of Intoxicating beverages.

of the Studebaker building next to the
Auditorium, at q late hour this evening,
created dense smoke which. going into the

Player Thomas w. Keene has occasion to
feel Rratified and complimented over his
first engagement in the capital city of Mon
tana. He has steadily grown in favor with
Helena theatre-goers since he first stepped
upon the boards at MinR's in the courtly
costume of the great cardinal. It seems
fitting to apply to him the lines of Hamlet:
"isit not monstrous that this player here,
But in tiction, in dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That, from her working, all his yisage wann'd,
Tears in his eyes, distraction in 3 aspect,
broken voice. and his whole function 81 iting
With forms to his conceit? and all for nothing!"
Mr.. Keene is the only tragedian who has
done what never occurred in the history of
Ming's opera house before. Instead of re-
ceipts falling off after the first night as has
been the case with others. they have in
creased each evening from the opening
night. At tho matinee this afternoon the
Merchant of Venice will be produced. This
evening Mr.. Keene will be seen in Richard

The developments attending the recent
resignati0n of the pastor of one of the
oldest and leading churches in New York

gated to the frontiers Of civilization, still
survives with much Of its old force. The
real reason for the resignation was the UNI

causes which tended to produce this
