CLEVELAND, Sept 20-Boston made
great finish, but did not quite reach the
point Of making enough runs The work
of the umpire was as poor as It has been
ever since Hurst has been here, and the
Clevelands got the long end of 1t. Both
teams played brilliantly in the field, but
the errors made by Boston were the more
costly. The batting was not as hard as
the score seems to show, many Of the hits
being on the scratch list.

They We're Prosecuted by the Fed

Secret Marks Were Put on tho
Animal to Detect Cattle
Thieves.
Pardon Of Two Young Indian Boys who
Wanted to Sec = Locomotive Jump,
Near Drummond.

Michael Murray and his 17-year-old son.
Robert. who looks younger. were acquitted
OF grand larceny by n jury In tho United
States circuit oourt yesterday. Tho larceny
charged consisted OF the stealing of a calf
on tho " reservation some time ago,
from a band Of cattle belonging to W. j.
Anderson, of Livingston. The calf was
found with some cattle belonging to M.
Murray and IL was claimed that the Muir
rays stole IL. Both OF them denied this on
the witness stand and said they had never
claimed it rs their property and did not
brand IL. The hide Of the animal WAS
shown in court and the prosecution showed
a slit in the neck where a dime had been
inserted and the skin allowed to grow over
II. This was a secret mark and was done
by Mr.. Anderson's employees in order to
catch some cattle thief. In addition to this
small brands were made on the hoofs OF .
fore leg and a hind log which were hardly
noticeable. The prosecution relied on
tho tact that the animal being
found IN the possession of the
Nurrays with their brand on 1t seemed like
n clear case OF stealing. L. D. Weed. the
district attorney. asked the jury to find the
defendants guilty and thus make known
that the property of cattle owners in Mon
tena was safe. Just such cases as these he
arRured had led to the troubles in Wyom-
ing. +. w. Toole appeared for the de-
PENDANTS and made a lengthy argument to
the jury. After being out about fifteen
minutes the jury came in with a verdict of
aoquittsl.

THE BOYS PARDONED.
Two Indian Youths Who Wanted to Soc
the Locomotive Jump.

Two Indian Youths Who Wanted to See
the Locomotive Jump.
About a year ago, near Drummond on
the Northern Pacific railroad, two Indian
bows placed a fish plate between the rails 80
that they could sec the locomotive jump as
it I assed by. They we're convicted of the
crime of placing distractions on the rail-
road track and each were sentenced to five
years confinement in the penitentiary at
Deer Lodge. Yesterday Gov. Richards par.
doned them, subject to tho approval of the
state board of pardons. In his commune
cation to the board the governor saws:
"They pleaded guilty to the offence and
seemed ignorant of its enormity. the eyi-
dence going to show that it was lone in a
spirit OF mischieviousnees rather than Of
maIiciousness. In the belief that these bows
have suffered sufficiently. when all the cir
cumstances are impartially weighed. many
OF the leading citizens of Deer Lodge
county. where the offence was committed.
petition their release. The names Of some
OF the representative men of the state are
upon the petition. which is supplemented
by an appeal for their pardon from the
county attorney who secured their convic-
ton.
This gentleman states that in considera-
