0PIE HELD FOR TRIAL
His Case Has Caused Plenty Of
CCmmlnt.
SOME SAY HE'S ALL RIGHT
The Witnesses for the Defense
Didn't Think He Was Such a
Particularly Bad
Man at All.
NE SAY HE'S ALL RIGHT

| BUTTE, Feb. S.-John Opie was held to
the district court this afternoon in bonds
| of $3.50 by Judge Kirkwood on the charge
| of rape preferred by 10-year-old Minnie
| Young. At 10 o'clock this morning the
! court overruled Mr. Lindsay's motion for
a dismissal and the witnesses for the de-
| Tense were then put on the stand.
Mrs. Ed. Bowden. landlady at the hotel
at which Opie boarded, testified that she
had not on or about April, 1893. or any
other time, told Mrs. Young that Opie was
''dirty man." fatty contradiciing the
evidence of both Mrs. Young and her
daughter.
John Opie, testifying in his own behalf,
swore that Minnie Young had not been in
his room in September, 1894, nor at any
other time during that year. Minnie Young
and her sister came to his room during 1893
with his washing, which was done by their
mother. Opie swore that he had never
during 1898, 1894 or 1895 had criminal in
tercoursc with Minnie Young or taken
liberties of any kind with her.
John Basten testified that he had
known Opie since 1850 and had never
heard anything against his character.
John Doble had known the defendant
for 10 or Is years and had never heard
anything against him. After the argu-
ments of opposing counsel. which took
nearly two hours, the court decided
follows:
Every person is entitled TO a trial by jury OF
his peers The testimony under the complaint
Is to the effect that Minnie Young did not com
plain OF the alleged injury until recently but
neglect on the part OF any infant can be re-
butted. and the evidence shows that as soon as
the mother Of tie child learned of the rape or
attempted rape, she made complaint To this
court Under these facts | think there Is prob
able cause to believe the defendant guilty. al
though do not say that he is guilty. There
fore it is my duty To hold the defendant over to
the district court, and | will fix his bonds at
$500.
With the consent of Assistant County
Attorney Barlow Opie was allowed "a
hours in which TO furnish bonds.
The case abounded with technicalites,
some of which were taken advantage of
by the defendants attorney while others
were allowed to pass. The complaint in
the case, as originally drawn, was before
a justice of the peace i'm Silver Bow in
stead of Vaudeville township.

TO UNITE The SOUTH AND WEST.
The Com ng Expedition in Georgia Will
DO Good Work.


DO Good Work.
BUTTE, Feb. S. Efforts are already
being made in Montana TO arouse interest
in the Cotton States and International EX-
position, which Will be held in Atlanta.
Ca, beginning next September. This will
be the great worlds event of 1895. This
exposition was designed at first merely to
exhibit the resources of the southern
states, but now 1t is believed that most of
the states of the West vii! participate in
the exposition. The South is the only
friend the West has and the friendly feel
ing which already exists between these
sections would be cemented by the two
sections uniting in an exposition showing
their relative resources. Missionary work
for silver in the eastern states will accom-
plIsh nothing during the present genera
ton. The West is nearly united on the
subject. The only place where effective
missionary work can be done is in the
southern states. The entire South will be
at the exposition, together with thousands
from the North and West. Much good in
silver education might bo done at the ex-
position.
The exposition has received valuable
recommendation, congress having appro-
priated $780, 900 for the purpose. Commits
SlOnerS were also sent 10 foreign cOun-
tries to secure cooperation, particularly
from the south and central American
countries. The Argentine Republic, Ven
ezuela, Brazil and Honduras nave already
made appropriations for the exposition,
and their neighbors will also undoubtedly
be heard from.
1t is the plan among those in Montana
who have interested them selves in the ex-
position TO send to Atlanta Montana's
worlds fair exhibit. This exhibit is now
back, after having been shown in Chicago
and San Francisco, and is intact. 1t could
be transported and set up in Atlanta with
mild expense.
Governor Richards has appointed eight
women of Montana as delegates to the
expedition and they will urge the import
ance of n credtabie exhibit of Montana's
resources. Mrs. Clinton II. Moore has
been appointed the delegate from Silver
Bow county. With little work valuable
additions can be made to Montana's old
exhibit, and if proper encouragement is
shown in Montana this will he done.
An appropriation of $1,000 or So 600 from
the legislature would cover the entire eX-
pense. and il Is believed no money could
be better used, not only 50 far as adver-
Using Montana's resources is concerned,
but in creating an interest in the people
of the South and particularly in the SUBJ
ject of silver.

offender of judicial provision is the guilty
party directly, but indirectly liable are
also those who trespasscs the boundary OF
the laws and make such crimes possible.
On this road we meet the Office holders,
but the entire responsibility rests upon
shoulders of the controlling power, and
the controlling power in this country are
the people, who themselves select the ofii-
cial functionaries. Occasionally a sensa-
ton occurs as lately here IN Butte. but
not even are those servants discharged,
vino have proved themselves unreliable.
Such negligence must absolutely result in
difficult Giro umstances rs the present eX-
isiIng.
such an anxiousness about a clear case
can be avoided when the people select full
grown men as their represen atives. The
coroner's position is one among the many
which is indeed too serious as to be con-
sidered toy of the party organizations.
His judicial assistant ought not to be used
more than to assist. II the coroner had,
with competent assistance, drawn n de-
tailed map of the ground and extracted
from certain books, would these docu-
ments of authority not have furnished the
jury more enligh tenment than many wit
nesses and saved the taxpayers for addi-
tional eXpe nses. When the laboring men
are dependent upon the corporations. as
in this country, they ought to be saved rs
much as possible from the witness stand,
and the court of justice is the place where
mems honesty should be protected instead
of being lead into temptation.
The people must take n firm hand in
their political business, If not Butte will
have another explosion pretty soon.
