evidence OF what he thought should be done

the action OF certain persons who havo In
sisted on communicating with the passengers

tinacity Of somo persons to secure news from
the ships In tho shape OF messages which they
have brought into the city Ia utter disregard
OF the fact that they might By such means

The Commission would suggest that be-

He Was InnOcent.

Bozeman dispatch to Standard: On
October q of last year Joseph Brittner,
who lived on Bisel's ranch four miles
from Bozeman, came in to town and re-
ported that he had been robbed by two
unknown men, who entered his room
masked and otherwise disguised, and
covering him with a pistol seized his
clothing and rifed them of their con-
tents, among which was trifling sum
of money. Soon after several different
parties were arrested on complaint of
Brittner, but proof being altogether
wanting they were discharged. The
last man arrested was Andrew McMa-
hon, young man who had come from
Butte during the summer and had been
employed by different parties, and was
considered to be of excellent moral char
acter. McMahon was arrested simply
because of some real or fancied resem-
blance to one of the alleged robbers, and
at the last term of court of the Ninth
judicial district he was found guilty of
the crime of robbery and sentenced to
five years in the state penitentiary. A
new trial was asked for and granted for
the present term of the same court, and
the accused ably defended by Luce &
Luce. Before half the testimony was in
the evidence of the mans innocence be-
came so clear, an alibi being proven be-
yond a doubt, that at the request of the
attorneys the court in
the jury to find verdict of not
guilty. This was Immediately done from
the box, and Mcmahon walked out of
court amid the congratulations of his
friends. Thus has cloud been lifted
which for many months has hung over
an innocent life. Mcmahon stood in the
very shadow of the states prison after
his first conviction, it having been some
time before new trial was secured.

No by an explosion. The unfortunate
man was taken to the Red Lodge hos
pital where he will receive the best med
ical attention and care. The man was
burnt badly on the arms and shoulders.
The building of the bridge across
Clark's Fork is an enterprise that all of
the people of Red Lodge are interested in
to considerable extent. It is an assured
fact that the bridge will be constructed
at once. There is not business man in
town but what thinks we'll of the project
as 1t will secure us the trade of northern

Punishment for Libel,

The defendants in the Quay libel suit
were sentenced Monday at Beaver, Pa,
to six months imprisonment in jail and
to pay fine of 5000 and the costs OF the
prosecution. The defendants were Pro
prietor Mellon and Editor Porter of the
Beaver Star. Judge Wickham, in pass
ing sentence, made reference to the facts
in the case and severely scored defen-
dants. Among other things he said:
without any more apparent cause than
would exist in the case of any one of
thousands who honestly received checks
from Bardsley during his official career,
you boldly and sensationally charged the
prosecutor with being the accomplice of
defaulter and sharer in his plunder.
Before the publication you had in your
possession the prosecutors denial, if any
were needed. In his sworn information
he again averred the falsity of the pub
lished charge. Had your arrest been
followed by retraction, or even by silence,
it would have been possible to infer that
no actual malice instigated the original
publication. You seemed determined,
however, to leave no possible room for
such inference. From one of these libel
Gus editorials, published only week be-
fore the trial began, it would seem yol.
were acting on the amazing theory that
if newspapers accuse man of crime he
is conclusively presumed to be guilty un-
til he proves his innocence in a court of
justice, and that even there his own de-
malls are entitled to no weight.
cat trial, even after the prosecutor
proved his innocence, you conceded moth
ing fully, although unable to offer scin-
tilla of evidence to establish the truth of
the charges and not more than scintilla
of evidence to disprove malice. The case
was so clear as to make it absurd to sup
pose any twelve men who could have been
selected from jury panel would have ac
quilted you. Nearly two weeks have
elapsed since your conviction, yet not
one word Of explanation, retraction or
apology has appeared in your newspaper.
Under the circumstances, to make the
sentence unduly light would be to throw
the proceedings into mockery and to judi
cially condemn them. In conclusion, l
may add, that if you had libelled the hum
blest man in Beaver county to the same
extent that you have traduced the pros
ecutor, the same sentence that is here
imposed would be infiicted.''
