lich only ono man was in.

TluSJOi was treat
ed in Bakersfield, Cal, must be accorded a
place among the most frightful pieces of
wickedness of the time,
Harrington had, he says, incurred the
enmtty of 'ring" of land spectators,
and to them he attributed his frightful
persecution. Harrington was incarcerated
in the Jail at Bakersfield at the time the
outrage was committed, having been ar
rested on warrant fifteen days old and
signed by justice of the peace who, Her
rington says, acknowledged that he did
not read it. Harrington was taken to Jail
and says he knew at once that he would lie
mobbed. He told the sheriff of his fearS
and asked TO be allowed to retain posses
sion of a revolver with which to defend
himself in case of attack. This request
was refused, and he sat down in his cell to
wait for the mob. The vigil was a short
one.
In less than an hour bowling crowd OF
masked men forced their way into the Jail
and to Herringtons cell. He sprang to the
door and defended himself as well as he
could with his fists. He was soon knocked
down, however and as he fell was shot in
the back. The man who shot him dropped
the pistol and Harrington grabbed it, but
the heavy boot heel OF one of the mob
knocked it from and crushed the hand
that held it. Harrington was then taken
from the Jail, stripped and covered with
coal tar and what he says WIS acid Of
some sort. Then he was forced to climb a
barbed wire fence and make his way as
best he could out of the country. When
he reached Stockton he was completely ex-
hausted. The flesh and skin on some por-
tions of his body had been literally cooked
by the acid and was hanging in shreds,
and he had lost much blood from the
wound in his back.
Since the outrage the warrant and charge
against Harrington, which he declares
were trumped up by his enemies for the
sole purpose of getting him in their power.
have been quashed, and now no charge
stands against him in the county where he
was so inhumanly prosecuted. He claims
to have recognized some of tho crowd i'm
pl!cated, and hopes by the aid of law abid-
ing citizens of the vicinity TO bring the
guilty ones to justice
The three cases which are told of above
Chief Hennessy's assassination with its
attendant murders, the vicissitudas that
have surrounded Billings and the rerse-
cution of James Herrington-would he,
all of them, as thrilling tales, if told in
al their detail, as any ever evolved from
brain of novelist or playwright. Verify

had dispute that was overheard by
occupants of rooms adjoining. At length
two pistol shots were heard, heavy fall
followed and Billings bounded down the
stairway exclaiming, 81 am -aOtw A re-
volyer with two empty barrels was found
near Kingsley's right hand as he lay on
the floor, alive but unconscious, with a
wound in the head. Billings own pistol
was in his Overcoat pocket and had not
been discharged.
No arrest was made until the coroner's
jury had brought to light the fact that
Billings had visited Kingsley's Office to ex-
tort money for damages on account of the
suspected relations between the dead man
and Billings wife.
He was arrested. tried, convicted and
sentenced, as has already been told but an
appeal was taxed and granted, the second
trial taking place in an adjoining county
Again he was convicted, and again given q
life sentence, although the judge who
passed the second sentence said from the
bench that no evidence pointed to the guilt
of the prisoner, and everything indicated
that the dead man had killed himself Yet
he refused to set aside the verdict and
passed sentence.
The case being appealed for the second
time, the supreme court has again reversed
the decision of the lower court, and Billings
will probably be free before long. But his
two years and more in Jail have made him
an old man. His hair is white, his step
faltering and he is penniless. This is only
one more evidence that innocent men
sometimes suffer from the verdicts of mis-
taken iuries.

G. Il. Middleton, city attorney Of Miles

court of the state in order to settle q ques-
ton of pleading. Inst April He'd Kern
several others were arrested at Miles City
for disturbing tho peace. The men were
tried before the police magistrate and fined
$40 each. In the complaint filed against
them the ordinance which they had violated
was not pleaded. An appeal was taken to
the district court. The same complaint
was read when the second trial was had but
the attorney for the violators Of the ordi-
nance objected to the introduction of any
testimony because the complaint did not
set out at length the ordinance referred to.
The court sustained the motion and or
dered the discharge of the men. The point
to DO decided is whether the district con IT
takes judicial notice of an ordinance on an
appeal of this kind, or whether the ordin-
nnce should be pleaded or by title in the
municipal court or district court.

TO ENTERTAIN THE DELEGATES
A Suggestion From tho Leading Musical
ORGANIZATION In tho Country.

A Suggestion From tho Leading husicas
Organization In the Country.
Next year will b. . vary lively one In
Helena, and II will BIO necessary TO provide
not only for the necessities OF thoss who At
tend ths three national conventions which
will meet hers, but ample provision must
also DO made for their amusement. IL will
not DO difficult to Heaurs the best theatrical
attractions, and this will surely be done.
But that Helena must offer othar forms OF
amusement there Ia no question.
already people at n distance have recog-
nized this fact, and are corresponding WITH
local people in regard to 1t. Among those
who are looking to Helena m an excellent
field next year Is John j. Nolan, general
agent OF tho Symphony orchestra, OF New
York. His organization IN the successor OF
the Theodore Thomas orchestra, and has
behind II more money than any ainqse-
ment project in the United States. Walter
Damrosch il the conductor, while tbs guar
antors are Andrew Carnegie, Theo. 4.

Kennedy, ID. q. Mills, j. pierpont Morgan,
John u. Rockefeller, William d. SloRne,
II. Mex. Iwombly, Cornelius, Gao. ". and
William X. Vanderbilt and DR.. w. Seward
Webb.
Mr.. Nolan was in Helena early this year.
and stopped at tho Broadwater. He met
Col. Broadwatsr and to him he recently
wrote. In his letter he says that next year
the orchestra will make a trans-contlnentnl
tour, it being the intention to give q cyc.e
OF music festivals in q number q citlea
west OF the Missouri, including Denver,
Salt Lake, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land and San Francisco. In his letter MT.
Nolan Gays from his knowl. dge OF Helena
he is convinced that II proper interest were
aroused, a local chorus could be otganlzed
and a guarantee fund created sufficient TO
warrant the SUCCESS of the enterprise. Inc
guarantee Ia to be subscribed to protect the
venture against financial loss.
That a series OF concerts by such an or.
panization AZ the one above mentioned
would be a great thing for Helena mex
year, there is no doubt. Not only would !
impress the strangers, but the railroads
would probably run excursions from ad-
iacent cities and thus attract visitors ant
trade. Another advantage would be tina
Helena would be advertised not only b,
the fact that she is the lending city in
great mining country, but that her peopl'
appreciate and lave the best there is in tn
musical world.
Other modes Of entertainment will b.
brought to the attention of Helena befor'
next season, bat this suggestion from Man
ager Nolan indicates that already the eye
of the county are upon the Convention
city. ".
