FIVE YEARS AT DEER LODGE,

The Burner Of the Hay Stacks Cues to
the Pen.
John Gleason, who confessed to Police
Judge Sanders that he set fire to the hay
stacks which were burned two weeks ago in
the valley near East Helena, pleaded not
guilty when he was arraiened in the district
court on Friday charged with arson. Yes
terday he withdrew his plea of not guilty
and entered u plea of guilty. He was then
sentenced to the state prison at Deer Lodge
for five years. The testimony at the pre-.
liminary examination did not seem to be
very strong against Gleason and it looked
as il he would be discharged. GLEASON
settled all doubts about his guilt by making
confession to Judge Sanders. This was
surprise number one. The second came
when the prisoner pleaded not guilty in the
district court. and the third when he ad-

Despicabfe Conduct OF Col. Ha1ion and

DENVER. Dec. 3l.-Judge Belford to-day
resumed argument for the prosecution in
the Graves trial. II will read some OF Dr..
Grayes' letters TO show you what he was,
and how utterly helpless this woman with
her immense fortune had been reduced.
This letter is dated July and is addressed
to the Miss Hanley he fastened upon Mrs.
Barnaby as a spy. The letter was addressed
70 Miss Hanley, but was sent with I'm en-
eiosure for Mrs. Barnaby. II is registered
TO Miss Hanley. Was there some aecret in
struction in ii? Why register this letter?
The whole conduct of this man seems
snakelike. IT is registered to Miss Hanley
TO save you the trouble of postoffiee re-
eeipts,, he says. Why. if he did not wish
to trouble her with postofice receipts, did he
register tho letter? He said he should pre-
fer her to pny Bennett as little as possible
in order that he might pay him BY check
do you remember the childlike question
Mrs. Barnaby asked Worrel. Jr., when he
was driving her about the city whom she
was thinking of investing herey Can
have the power of attorney to sign my own
checks? Think of this, gentlemen. They
point out Barnaby af a wretch, and before
tho dew is cold on his brow Graves and
Ballou are plotting to divide $25,0O0 be-
tween them.''
Continuing his argument. Judge Belford
said the first will made by Mrs. Barnaby
was drawn up by Colonel f,allou two weeks
before the compromise was effected on
Rarnaby's will. In this document DIR.
Graves was bequeathed $4,000. and Judge
Belford said he believed Ballou and Graves
forced Mrs. Barnaby to make this will be-
fore they would attempt to break Barnaby's
will.
Judge Furman, counsel for defense, then
began his speech. He made brilliant ar
gument, but failed to touch upon many
vital points made by the prosecution
against Graves. At the conclusion OF his
speech the court adjourned until Saturday,
when District Attorney Stevens will make
his last argument for the prosecution, and
it is the intention of both sides to allow
the jury to retire Saturday night.

Position of American Missionaries.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 3l.-Edward Bedloe
United States consul at Annoy, China, ar
rived here yesterday by steamer Oceanic,
on leave of absence. Ho says the latest re-
ports are that there are fresh disturbances
in North China and serious trouble is ex-
pected. Trouble is also looked for at Foo
Chow, where there is a large arsenal and
several forts. If the rebels get possession
of these forts the United States has no war
vessels in the Asiatic squadron that could
approach Foo Chow. MIR. Bodice said the
Americans over there are alarmed because
of the defenseless condition of their wives
and children, SO much SO, indeed, that they
think of expatriating themselves and call
ing upon some government that will guar
antee them safety. Vicetoy Iii Hung
Chang has been told by English officers
that the reason that We had not sufficient
vessels there was because America did not
have officers to command them, confound-
ing our scarcity of sailors with an alleged
scarcity of competent officers. Consul Bed
loe says the Chinese government is very
much annoyed by the burning and looting
Of the missions. There are 600 American
missionaries in the interior and they are in
danger.

AS most of our readers are already
aware. the election in this county on
Thursday of last week was a complete,
a glorious victory for the entire Repub-
lican ticket. Our Democratic friends,
the enemy, fought us a hard fight and
spared no means, either fair or foul,
to defeat Our ticket. Money and whis-
kie were both freely used to purchase
and debauch republican voters, but all
to no purpose. Bobtail ballots-thatis,
tickets a little under seven inches in
length-with the of the Repub-
lican candidates printed ON them, were
printed at the Comet office and sent
out over the county to rob the Repub-
licans of their rightful majority. But
q Democrat who had a lot of these
short tickets got drunk and gave the
thing away to the Republicans, and
faithful runners were Immediately sent
into all parts of the county and the Re-
publicans warned of the trick. So that
early on election day the faithful Re-
publican workers were ready to meet
the Democrats at every point. Good
work was done all along the line and
the enemy completely routed. The
principal and about the only thing the
Democrats expected to accomplish was
the defeat of Sheriff Hawkins, and
against him the fercest onslaught was
made, but all to no purpose. John
Sanders, money, whisky, disaffected
Republicans, GROWERS, unfair election
laws, all failed to defeat Jake Hawkins
and the Republican party. The gal
liant old Major Bradshaw is elected tax
assessor over Enos Kincheloe by 255
votes. This makes the fifth defeat for
Mr.. KinchelOe. In 1860 he was defeat
ed for revenu collector, in 1874 he was
defeated for sheriff by only % votes, in
1876 he was again a candidate for sher-
if and lost the prize by SO votes, in 1875
he vas a candidate for sheriff before
the county court and was defeated by
n or two votes. Mr.. Kincheloe is q
good man, aside from his politics, but
it seems that he was never born for an
Office holder. Albert Bacon is our
trustee by sos votes. Dave Slonaker is
a nice, clever man in fact, the incest
man the Democrats had on the track,
and certainly deserved better things at
the hands of his friends.

the Official Vote.

The election for county officers, held
last Thursday, passed off quietly, so
far as we have heard, and resulted in
the election of the Republican ticket.
The contest was bitter and every eff
fort known to the Democracy was ex-
hausted in the attempt to gain a foot
hold in the conduct of county affairs.
In the fight for Sheriff extraordinary
and questionable means were used to
defeat Sheriff Hawkins. Where a dis
affected Republican was found he was
pampered and cajoled, and every prom
Use made and inducement offered to
increase his mugwumpian inclinations.
Illegal tickets were printed and circu-
lated over the county, with the names
of the Republican candidates thereon,
in the hope hat they would be voted
and then thrown out, but it did not
work, but reacted upon the party that
issued them, inasmuch as it increased
the diligence and vigilance of honest
men, and spurred the victors to more
determined effort.
The result is a complete vindication
of the claims the Herald and Tribune
has made during the campaign-that
our candidates we're good men and true,
and that the people of Washington
County would SO declare.
While each of the candidates elected
are to be congratulated, we think that
Sheriff Hawkins and his friends are en-
tiled to a little something extra for the
gallant fight they made.
To every one who contributed to the
glorious result we say-Shake "a.
