A RICH CHRISTMAS GIFT.
j. w. Collins Instead or Hanging
Will Go to the State
Penitentiary.
---~--~-~
Eie Says He Us Perfectly Satisfied
With the Verdict OF
the Jury.
The Mclean Park Addition snit to Go to
the United states Court of
Appeals.

After taking eight ballots and remaining
out about four hours the jury in the case of
the United States against james W. Collins
for murder returned n verdict of man
slaughter, yesterday afternoon in the cir
emit court. Under the United States law
the extreme punishment is three years. i'm
pi isonment. But three things were left to
the jury. convict for murder, or manslauoh-
ter. or acquit. There is no such thing az
murder in the first or second degree under
United States law. Everyone about the
court room thought Collins was in great
luck. When the jury came In he took his
seat a few feet from them. His face was as
white as n sheet and he was very nervous.
As soon az he heard the verdict Collins face
underwent a wonderful change and was az
bright as the morning sun. A deputy
marshal took him to the m%arshal's office
where he shook hands with his attorneys,
Henry g. Smith and Miles Cavanaugh. Jr.
II am perfectly satisfied with the result
he said, and you can bet l won't get into
another such box" The young man who
had been presented with n Christmas gift
Of his life was then taken to his cell in the
county jail. Judge Knowles will sentence
him this morning at 10 O'Clock.
The crime for which Collins was convict.
cd was committed on OCT. Z. last the victim
being Edwin Reed, near the camp of Henry
Keyser, on the Little Big Horn river near
the Grow Indian reservation. Collins at
torneys commended that he acted in self
defence. Reed having started to pull hi
revolver before Collins shot him.

In support OF tho resolution Mr.. Green

by the month; that the board forced them
to take the Christmas vacation and that 1t

and their customers have known them. for
many years. and their mutual confidence
increases yearly. Since 1873 Mr.. w. b.
Raleigh has personally made the purchases
for the large stock of the firm, and it is
conceded by all that his Judgment and taste
are not surpassed. Mr.. Raleigh has made
the dry goods business the study Of his life.
and he has kept pace with the marvellous
developments of that industry. For ten
years Mr.. Raleigh was connected with an
immense dry goods store at st. Joseph,
Mo-, and also managed Eve large retail
stores at points in Missouri, Nebraska and
Iowa before coming to Montana.
Twice each year Mr.. Raleigh visits the
manufacturing and Wholesale centers of

OF his firm. supplemented by his knowledge
of tho tastes and preferences Of their pat

and quality, enable him to make selections

Mr.. H. E. Brunell, formerly at the heal of
a large dry goods house in this city. is con-

of the house.
During this last year the firms business
has increased in u remarkable manner in
every department, and the capacity of their

their representations of goods are accepted

out a visit to Raleighe& Clarke's dry goods
store, whore they are delighted with long
rowa of goods beautiful to loo upon and
comfortable to wear. *.

great establishment, to whose untiring en-
