is behind the bars of the Jail of Silver Bow
county tonight. The paper is the Helena
Journal and the editor is James HI. Nc
knight, formerly of New York. Recently
he printed an article to the effect that no
judge or jury could be found in Silver Bow
county that would give the contestants in
the Davis will contest fair trial, and
that unless a change of venue was
secured, the jig was up with them. Italso
said that the Democrats and Republicans
combined to elect J. ]. Mediation district
judge, because he held the Butte view of
the case" The matter was in the nature
of gossip talk and the words were put into

COMPTON coURr-MARr1AL ENDS.

of War Before Publication.

WALLA WALLA, July 24.-The court
martial trial ofsColonel Compton was con-
cluded today. The findings of the court
will be reported to the secretary of war be-
fore being made public. In his closing ar
gument, the counsel for the defense called
attention to the inconsistencies in Bland
ford's testimony. He also arraigned Sher-
iff Mcfarland for cowardice in opening
the Jail on the demand of the soldiers.
Judge Advocate Mcclure made a strong
speech, arraigning Compton as negligent
of duty, and stated that Compton showed
his neglect particularly in that being
warned of the attack by the soldiers he
took no means to prevent successful at
tack, and no measures that would render
any attack abortive. He said that Comp
tons long service of thirty years rendered
it impossible for him to fall back on al
legged incompetency. Mcclure alluded in
complimentary terms to the action taken
throughout by Prosecuting Attorney

ROW AMONG CLERGYMEN.
Baptist DIR. Parker Violently Assaiii
Congregational Orthodoxy.

LONDON, July 4.-Among the closing in
cidents of the Congregational council was
the proposed union with the Baptists, the
proposal exciting discussion in both COM
munions. DR.. Goodwin's vindication of
Congregational orthodoxy aroused DIR.
Parker's ire. When interviewed Parker
said he would rather not speak on the sub
iect at large, but that his wife had written
a letter which fairly represented his own
thoughts. The wife's letter abounds in
strong language. She compares Goodwin
to theological corpse that had lain in the
grave for 200 years snd been dragged out
sinking. with the grave clothes not too
gracefully draped around him. To much
more of this style of criticism Parker adds
that he was on bed of sickness ten days,
vet the delegates preaching in the temple
failed to remember him in their prayers,
thus exemplIfying their unholy Calvinism,
and that they were so much concerned
about their own orthodoxy as to neglect
the simplest decencies of civilization.

The exterior facing of the first two
stories will be granite and those above
of ashen-gray brick and terra-cotta. The
structure will be entirely of steel and
absolutely freproof, so far as material
and the skill of man can make it.
The grand entrance will be from State

feet and open to the extreme height of
