18th says w. T. Reeves went to
HALEY yesterday to argue a
motion for a new trial in the
Lawson murder case. Should
Judge Stockslager deny the mo-
ton an appeal will at once be
taken to the Supreme Court.
Butte is contributing to what
it calls 1.-THE mule fund.-" the
money so raised to go to keeping
a mule in rest and clover the
balance of his days for kicking
to death wife beater. The man
who was wife beater, practiced
unusual cruelty on his mule and
finally used a bride with bits
made of barbed wire. The mule
drew the line at this and kicked
the stuffin' out of his cruel mas
ter. When the neighbors took
his body home they found his
wife chained to staple in the
wall. The tmule fund.- is rap
idly growing, contributions be-
ing confined to nickles. Mon
tanians may be a little off In
some things, but they have the
proper opinion of the man who
beats his wife.
Remember this young man.
Be careful what you say about
"a woman's character. Think
how many years she has been
Building it, of the tolls and pri-
vations endured, of wounds re-
ceived and let no suspicion fol-
low her actions. The purity of
the women is the salvation of
the race, the hope of greatness
and the redemption of man.
Wipe out her purity and the man
sinks beneath the wave of des-
pair, without star to guide his
life into the channel of safety.
Think then before you speak,
and remember that any hog can
root up the fairest flower that
ever grew; so the vilest man can
ruin the purest woman's charac-
ter. "-Ex.

On Wednesday of last week
Mrs. John Lehman, of Lost riv-
er, was brought before Probate
Judge Zeigler, at Challis, charg-
ed with insanity. Examination
before the Court being held, it
was proven beyond all doubt that
the poor woman was bereft of
her reason, and she was ordered
to be taken to the Asylum at
Blackfoot. She will be held in
Challis until an attendant at the
Asylum can be summoned to
convey her to Blackfoot. 1t is a
pitiful sight. She is a lady well
along in years and is the mother
of five or six small children.
A. NJ. Wilson came out from
the Yellow Jacket where he has
been for year past on Tuesday
evening last. He win remain in
Challis few days and then de-
part for Seafoam and Sheep
Mountain for the balance of the
summer, where he viii represent
several valuable claims in which
he is interested.
Jesus Urquide's train came out
from the Jacket last Thursday
after a load of grain.
VIM. Babcock left Challis on
Saturday morning last with his
team loaded with hay and sup
plies for Custer, over the old
wagon road direct from Challis.
This road is in pretty good con-
dition considering that no work
has been done on it for number
of years. This is the nearest
route to Custer from this section
of the county.
Nick Treweek, General Man
ager of the Custer Company, at
Custer, has been in Salt Lake
City for the past week purchas-
ing supplies for his Company.
The Challis- Yellow Jacket
road is over one half completed.
1t is remarkable good road, and
is already Travelled considerable.
Theo. Wust and Jas. Porter
arrived in Challis last Sunday.
Mr.. Wust will be employed by
the Custer Company.
A lady attendant arrived from
the Asylum on Sunday and the
next morning took Mrs. Lehman
to the Asylum.
L. Fl. Johnston has gone to
Ketchum to meet his wife.
