holding it up to the audience asked:
''What is this? A dollar. And it is a

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BEq

The Assassination of Alliance Leaders
Seems to Have Commenced in Cold
Blooded, Deadly Earnest.
E. S. Moore, editor of the Sulphur
Springs, Tex, Alliance indicator, was
killed in personal encounter with the
editor of political paper published in
the same town last week. A worthy
and able worker is taken from the
ranks of the order.-National Econo-

Frank Burkitt, state lecturer of Mis-
sissippi, was shot above the left eve by
Garrett Smith, on Tuesday night of
last week. Why the matter was not
published in the daily papers we do
not know. He is dangerously wounded.

between Capt. Frank Burkitt and H. l. Hill,

shot. The difficulty grew out of matters per-
tanning to the recent primary election.
1t was received by the Economist too
late for the last issue. Capt. Burkitt
has been leading the alliance fight in
Mississippi, and as the opposition press
Of that state, as well as the dailies of
Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans,
have for some months past had nearly
as much to say Of him as they had of
Senators George or Walthall, accounts
Of this affair were expected in the
press, and yet a weeks waiting and
watching was not rewarded with a
single word in regard to this important
event. Why this silence? At last, on
the 10th, the Economist wired to Olko-
Iona for particulars as to his condition,
and on the goth received the following
special telegram:
Capt. Burkitt doing as well as could be ex-
pected under circumstances This is the
thirteenth night since the dastardly con-
spiracy to take his life eliminated and his
physicians and family are hopeful he will
be able to leave his room in a week or ten
days.

silence of the opposition press, and the

had time to get the facts and publish

Mayor Mueller, of Butte, Asks the Goy-
ernor to Offer Reward.
Governor TooIe has received a letter from
Mayor Fl. Mueller, of Butte, asking him to
assist in the detection of the sssassins of
Hon. w. j. Penrose, formerly member Of
the state legislature, by offering a reward
for their arrest. The governor has the re-
quest under consideration and will take
some action tomorrow. After reciting the
circumstances of the assassination, already
published, and the offer of 81 600 reward by
the city council of Butte. the letter Of
Mayor Mueller continues: II therefore have
the honor OF informing your excellency
that have, as mayor of this city, caused a
notice of the offer of the reward above men,
toned to be published. and most humbly
suggest that your excellency offer such
reward on the part of the state as will in
duce the most skillful detectives in the
United States to take all interest in the case
and assist in ferreting out the cuiprits.
THE testimony adduced before the COR
oner seems to show that there were three
persons engaged in the commission OF the
crime, and | believe that if the state and
municipal authorities would offer the most
liberal reward that the law permits, il
might have, and would have, a tendency to
induce one of the murderers to inform in

most certainly would, that the liberality Of
the authorities would lead to their detso-

"Inasmuch as the deceased was state
officer and one of the leading citizens of the
community, would most earnestly sug-
gest that your excellency offer the most
liberal reward for the arrest and conviction
of the murderers that the laws of Montana
will permit, believing rs do that such 40
tion on the part of the state officers in con-
junction with the municipal authorities.
will be conducive of the greatest good to
the community at large, not only in leading
ers of William j. Penrose, but it will tend
to deter others from committing like crimes
and insure the safety of the lives of our
citizens and preserve the fair fame and
good name of the state of Montana"
