why the Quaker Bough, a Horse.

Why the Quaker Bou9h; Il Horse.
The wiuter of 1872 was very cold
the pavemcnts became very slippery by
the frost, and did rot present any hold
for the horses feet, and one of these
animals, harnassed to a large cart
heavily laden with wood, was utterly
unable to advance step forward. while
the carter, a powerful fellow, was be
laboring the poor brute with his heavy
whip striking him over the head with
relentless terociiy. Breathless, and
struggling violently, the poor horse
was so exhausted by his continued and
severe efforts, that, in spite Of the cold,
he was covered with sweat and foam.
Now, throwing himself into his collar
with desperate eXertion, he tugged so
that the stones beneath his feet threw
out sparks of fire now, lar from
being discouraged, he backed a few
PAGES to take breath, and again tried,
but in vain, to draw his load. Twice
did he nearly fall, his knees touched
the pavement the carter raised him by
The bit, leaving the mouth OF the am
nal raw and bleeding. A third time,
after violent effort, he fell on his
knees, one leg entansled beneath him !;
he could not recover himself, but fell
on his side, where he lay trem
bling, bathed in sweat, and his
eyes fixed on his brutal owner. The
rage of his master then knew no
bounds: and after breaking bis whip
over the head Of the horse, who, kept
down by the shafts, lay grooming on
the stones, he began kicking the
animal on the nostrils. The spec
tors of this cruel sight looked on with
apathy. The fellow, finding the horse
did not move, took bundle of straw,
twisted it in the form of torch, and
taking a match from his pocket, said,
'I'll roast him: p'r'aps that'll make
him get up" AT this moment Quaker
stopped, and pushed his way among
the crowd. When he saw the carter go
toward the fallen horse, with the INTEL
ton of applying the blazing straw TO
his body, a shudder ran through his
frame, and his countcnance ex-
pressed the utmost compassion. I'M
able to endure this scene, the quake"
approached the carter and took him by
the arm, who turned with a menacing
look, as he shook the torch. Friend, "
said the Quaker ina calm tone, showing

hand, witt thou sell mo thy horse fer this

A Tough Character.

On Friday evening last Adolph III.
Berger, who pleaded guilty TO acharge
OF grand larceny in stealing n mare
from Thomas MCGEE of Maiden, was
court. A. W. War;, G. A. Parrot, F.
b. Scovel and others, who had only
seen the better side OF this mans char
acter during his few months residence
in Lewistown, addressed the court in
his behalf and succeeded in getting the
court to impose the minimum SEN
tence OF one year, in face OF the state
meut of Sheriff Deaton to the effect
that Berger worked little, was n hang
er-on around saloons and a rounder.
This was IA mild statement OF the
young mans frailties, and on the fol-
lowing morning Attorney Smith on
behalf OF Mr.. Deaton, brought the
matter up and showed by the testi-
mony of several witnesses that Berger
was a sneak thief; that while in the
employ OF E. a. Foster he was guilty
of numerous populations; that after
ward he went to Ruby gulch and
stopped with Chris Faulkner, Fred
HortoD and Others and before leaving
there he stole a small sum of money
a pair of valuable field glasses, "a re-
volver, a microscope, n pair of COM
passes and other articles; that before
leaving Lewistown he passed n Con-
federate twenty dollar bill in payment
OF "A gambling debt; that after stealing
McGee's horse, saddle and bride and
when pursued by two officers he
threatened to kill them and actually
opened fire upon them with II revol-
YER; that while in Jail his conduct la
bad and that he was in correspon-
dence with convicts and tough char
acters throughout the state; that
when taken by the sheriff he had the
above mentioned articles upon his
person, together with n huge bunch OF
keys OF every shape, character and de-
cription. Judge DuBose ard every
one else who came in contact with
Berger is satisfied that this will not
he his first experience in the peniten-
tiary.
This simply shows that people can
not he too careful in giving evidence of
the good character of one whom they
knew so little. The sheriff's is gener.
ally the best evidence in a case of this
kind, and is usually fairly exercised.
Had the facts been known at the time
of sentence Berger would have re-
ceived n sentence more nearly COM
m~ensurate with his deserts.

The newspapers of the state which
supported Helena for the capital two
years { but now advocate Anaconda,
make "A sorry failure in attempting to
explain the reason for their change of
base. If the editors of such papers
would tell the truth they would say 1t
was because they could do II little bet
ter financially hy supporting Ana
conda. But this is no argument in
favor of the latter place, in fact it
should be an argument against placing
The capital in a town that has no other
claim than that one man is able To
substitute the press of a whole state.
The people Of the state should think
for themselves in this matter and make
up their minds that someo Of the articles
found in the press are not true convic-
tions but dearly bought. Here is the
question: How much of this capital
boodle do the honest, permanent set
tiers and taxpayers OF the state expect
to get? Don't he II clam.

The Helena Independent with wish
the fact that a party by the name Of
Congcr, down in Ohio, has expressed
himself rs opposed TO Mckinley and
the law that bears his name. As it is
always Il point with the Democratic
press Ia keep the party in line by false
hoods and misrepresentation, the In
dependent would have its readers be-
lieve that Col. Conger Is an oracle
and II great power in Ohio politics.
The fact is that Col. Conger has the
sorest kind of a head and simply be-
cause his political aspirations have
been sent glimmering on several oc-
c%asions. Heis mol particularly friendly
with the great Ohioan for several
reasons the chief of which is because
he desired the nomination for governor
when Gov. Mckinley was first nomi-
mated for hat office. He also desired
tu head the Republican delegation to
the national convention two years ago
but failed. MIR. Conger is playing a
game of solitaire in Ohio politics and
is getting lonesome, hence the recent
ebulitinus at the mouth. lie is a po-
litical back number. II VIM. McKin-
ley is alive he will have the solid in
dorsement of the Ohio delegation for
the presidency in 1896. Paste this
prophecy in your hat.

Judge nuBose could not permit such II

his duty to secure as full and fair an
investigation as it was possible to OBJ
