Col. Ingersoll, in his closing address
before the supreme court al Helena in
behalf of his client, Henry A. Root,
displayed some of the wit and sar-
casm for which he is noted. He gave
Butte a shot that will bring forth grape
and canister from Col. John Read.
Speaking of the demands of his client
the colonel said:
at has beer alleged as evidence that
he did want all of it, that he had stated
his intention of going to Europe. Now
| could not blame a Butte man for
wanting to go to Europe or anywhere
else. 1t would be impossible for me to
convince you thai anybody ever enter
tanned the slightest notion of coming to
Butte to remain permanently. | might
blame a man for leaving Helena. If
Davis had told q straight story to the
heirs in the east; if he had told them
that they could secure their rightful
| portions in four months, instead of five
to ten years; if he had told them that
there we're S5,400,0 600, instead of an in
definite or insignificant sum involved;
if he had acted the part of n brother,
could | stand here and question his in
tegrity? The words would strike me
dumb. In the light of the testimony
up to date. it is clear that j. A. Davis Is
lacking in integrity, hat he conspired
with Irwin Davis to the entire
estate. l take it for granted that a
man is honest until reliable testimony
proves otherwise, and unless | have lost
my common sense, and unless the pyr-
amids are all inverted and standing on
their little ends, | know that John and
Irwin Davis were partners in a conspir.
acy To defraud the other heirs"

At a meeting OF the Fergus County

for the building OF the fence around
the grounds OF the association, and
for the construction of the track. The
track will he a mile long and kite
shaped, similar to the famous track
at Independence, Iowa, and will be
forty feet wide. When completed
there will he no better track in the
state, and not many as good. The
location is all that could be desired,
very best, being absolutely free from
gravel. With the encouragement oI
the fair association, and a good track,
we may confidently predict that within
a few years Fergus county will become
as famous as any other county in the
| state for her trotters and We
have the best ranges in the state, and
there is no good reason why Fergus
county should not become as well
known on the race courses of the east
us Montana is to-day. The ~organiza.
ton of the association under such
favorable auspices, and encouraged
rs it is by all the stockmen in the
county, adds a great impetus to the
raising OF fine stock in the county
which could not be furnished in any
other way.

Hon. Granville Stuart, who paid Sun
River a visit recently, thinks Fort
Shaw the most desirable place for the
agricultural college that has yet been
mentioned, both from a natural and
artificial standpoint. He says the post
buildings could be utilized for college
purposes at a nominal cost to the state,
and thinks that through our senators
and representatives little troublewould
he experienced in procuring from con-
gress the necessary land, together with
the fort buildings, for such an institu-
ton. There is now a considerable ex-
tent of land belonging to the fort under
high cultivation, plentifully watered by
mean of an irrigating canal construct
ed by the soldiers through the reserva-
ton, and which cauld be at once used
by the college as an experimental farm.
1t would require but a short time to
put the place in readiness for students.
Mr.. Stuart's suggestion is worthy of
investigation. If Fort Shaw does not
fill the requirements, Fort Maginnis
might be taken into consideration by
our Legislators. In any event the mat
ter of locating the college should not be
left entirely to the bid Of rival cities.
1t is not necessary TO have an agricul-
tural college in the suburbs of a city.
A good place to study farming is ON a
farm.

Montana's Worlds Fair commission
ers will meet at Helena the first week
in August to inaugurate the work in
connection with the states exhibit at
the great exhibition. II is q work into
which the commissioners should enter
with energy and enthusiasm, supple
mented by the assistance of all our cit
liens. Montaua's exhibit of minerals
should excite the wonder and aston
ishment Of the civilized world, while
her in other respects should
have substantial representation. There
is scarcely another state in the great
west about which so little is known as
Montana. There has never been any
false and fictitious booming, which has
probably been all for the better. The
country along our two great railroad
lines may have looked somewhat for
bidding to the thousands of emigrants
who have passed through to the Pacific
coast. and it was probably just as well
for the majority Of them that such was
the case. Yet Montana offers many
opportunities TO men of energy and in
telligence, wen though possessed of
small means. Her mines of gold and
silver, coal fields, rich agricultural and
pasture lands, are still open to invest

The electrocution Of four murderers
in Sing Sing ~penitentiary, New York,
on the 9TH inst. was devoid of the har-
rowing scenes attending Kemmler's
execution at Albany last winter. The
experts had made better preparations
and overcame obstacles that were de-
tected in the former instance. AL
though envious newspaper correspond
ents have written columns to show the
cruelty of the execution, the testimony
of attending physicians is highly favor
able to this new method of carrying
out the death penalty. Drs. South
wick and Daniels, of Buffalo, pronounce
the system a success in every way, and
there was no odor of burning flesh, nc
cutlery from the doomed men, and
nothing that would be revolving to the
spectator. 1t may require some time
for this method of execution to become
general, but we believe it will yet be
demonstrated that it is far more hu,
name than the gallows, and between
the two will be preferred by the ma.
jority of those doomed to death.

could be devised than that afforded at
the great exposition, and every county
should enter into a friendly rivalry for
superiority. Unlike many counties,
Fergus is rich in minerals of all kinds
