EDMUNDSON pARDONED.
lie Was the Leader of Gang Of Horse
Thieves That Infested Montana
Eight Years Ago.
Sketch of the DOings of the Gang
Before II Was Finally
Broken Up.

Gov. I'oole has pardoned Henry Ed
munson, the leader of the gang of horse
thieves who operated this state about
eight years ago, and who was sentenced
in November, 1884, to fourteen years in
the penitentiary. Edmunson's brother,
John, and three other members of the
gang were convicted at the same time.
John got ID twelve years sentence and
was pardoned by Gov. Leslie in 1889
The three other men got sentences of
five years each. The governors action,
which will without doubt be approved
by the board of pardons. is explained in
a letter to that body.
The pardon is recommended for the
reason that Edmunson will have less
than six months to serve by the time the
board of pardons can take action on the
governors recommendation, and because
his conduct during the years he has been
imprisoned has been most exemplary.
His father and mother, 10 and "A years
old, respectively, are now in Helena and
will take Edmunson back to their home
in Nebraska upon his release from
prison. One of the most persistent
workers for the pardon was the convict's
brother. John, after his own release.
No chapter in the history of a western
community is more interesting than that
which relates to the operations and the
running down of the Edmunson gang of
horse thieves, says the Helena Inde-
pendent. They had been the terror of
ranchers and morse breeders all over Mon
tana. One of the most desperate of them
was Con Murphy, who probably escaped a
long term in prison by getting hanged,
Murphy had robbed the mail in the
Prickly Pear canyon in the summer of
1884. He was arrested, but the night be-
fore his trial was to come off he broke
out of the Jail here. Pursuit was
made and Murphy was captured,
a confederate having betrayed
him. AS the officers were bring
ing him into town several hundred PEG
pie relieved them of their prisoner and
hanged him tn a railroad bridge. Soon
after this a band Of thirty Or forty horses
were run off from the Heating ranch, in
Jefferson county, and the Edmunson
gang were getting away with the ami
mails into Idaho when the posse that was
pursuing overlook them. A regular
pitched battle ensued, in which one OF
the thieves named Mann was killed
John Edmunson and three others was
caught making for the Idaho line with
his family, with the supposed intention
OF meeting the gang and their piundeI
at Il designated point. That %supposition
was really about all the evidence there
was against John on his trial.

mill race the crowd irrcsistibly
poured in Il continuous stream past
the ticket sellers, past the chop

the boxes where tickets are deposited
a broad woman stopped a few seconds
to tumble with her ticket, which she

Unconscious of causing any com.

Near the foot of the stairway the
woman spied a pin cleaning on the

economy, perhaps, the woman
stopped and about 500 persons from
behind struck her with the force of
