LITTLE ROY GOULD.
Nothing in the Story of an Attempt to
Hang Him.

Nothing in the Story of an Attempt to
Hang Him.
Roy Gould, the unfortunate little boy
who has an uncomfortable desire for set
ting fires, was taken to a photographer
yesterday morning by Bailif Hardy and
Deputy Sheriff ScLwilke and his picture
was taken. to be deposited in the archives
OF the police station. He seemed rather
to enjoy the notoriety of the affair.
In reference 10 the story circulated that
two boys, named Todhunter and Fergu-
son, who wers confined in the cell with
Roy, had tried to hang him on Sunday
afternoon, Jaier Beckiey enters an in
dignaut denial that any such thing hap
pened.
He says the boys mother spent nearly
all day Sunday with him at the jail. stay
ing till > o'clock. So far from the boys
doing any such thing to Roy, they had
agreed first-rate. and when he asked Roy
q day or two ago if he wanted another
cell he answered that he did not. Mr.
Bsckley said he mad heard OF no distur b.
auce, nor had any one else in the prison,
and he had never had any occasion to
punish either of the other boys.
he asked q RECORD UNION reporter to
accompany him to the cell occupied by
the boys, whore Roy was found asleep on
pallet. and the other two in their blan-
kets, the middle One lying on the floor.
" hen asked If the other boys had mis-
used him or tried to hang HIM, Roy said
they had not, and when asked if he
wanted to to leave the cell for another, he
said he did not. The boys had struck him
once, he said, but he did not want TO leave
them.
one of the boys explained that Roy
wore shirt that laced down the front,
and not knowing how TO fasten the lace
he had knottod it several times around
his neck, and that he (the speaker) had
united it for him.
AS there is not sign of q nail inside of
the cell, it is difficult to see how the boy
could have been hung up, or cut down.
as reported, and Jailer Beckley thinks it
an attempt to manufacture sympathy for
the yOungSter.
Some women who occupy adjoining
cells stated that there had never been
any disturbance in the boys cell, and
that tine two older boys had always been
kind to Roy, sharing their cakes and
other deicacies with him. They were
very increduIous when told of the at
tempted hanging.
AS soon as the Court Reporter has
made transcript of the testimony at the
preliminary examination, w. \. Ander-
son, counsel Tor the boy, will move for a
writ OF habeas corpus for his release

NJ. FILCHER's LETTER.

ATLANTA (Ga. J, Sept 80 1888.
q. IL. AppeL, Esq, agent C.. +. T., Sac
rdn1eHtO-MY DEAR SIR: Your favor of
September 24th. containing a clipping
from the RECoRD-UNIoN. is at hand.
am pleased with the interest you are TAX
Ing IN the endeavor TO supplement the
splendid exhibit here with some fresh
! California fruit. The interest in our
produces increases with each passing
day.
Warren Leland, manager of the KIM
ball House, the leading hotel of Atlanta,
was here this morning and wanted to
leave an order with us for several thou
sand pounds of California dried fruit and
few dozen cases of canned fruit. He
said, If it were possible, he would like to
get also about 500 pounds of California
fresh fruit per day.
When l told him l could not take his
order, he wanted TO know what we were
here for. L told him we were here to ex-
hibit California products for the benefit of
those who are III the business of supply
ing them. "But there is nobody here
who is supplying them, my dear Sir" he
SAID, and you either want to establish an
agency here right away or take down
your show. as these people down here
Will drive you mad. You have excited
my patrons TO a desire to eat your fruit,
and | have got TO have some"
l finally gave him the address of
party who, l think, can supply him, and
he left saying he was going to write to-
day and send in an order. But he in
sisted that there ought to be an agency
here Tor California products, for, to use
his own words again. "It is a shame that
the Southern people cannot get these
goods without sending to New York for
them"
L mention this circumstance at length
TO give you an idea of the situation here.
The California Dried Fruit Exchange and
canneries should unite at once and see
that an agency for their products is estab-
Iished in Atlanta, at least. Other South
ern cities could no doubt be worked to
advantage.
l hope you will keep on pushing the
fresh fruit proposition, as we can make
big point by having it here in display
and handing samples to those who are
likely to become patrons.
III short, Mr.. Appel. am enthusiastic
over the prospects of good results in vari-
Gus ways from this exhibit, for the inter-
est IN California manifested by the ex-
hlbItors here Is surprising All who
look upon our splendid display (and we
have the crowds give vent to favorable

Thanking you for your interest and

his opinion is of inestimable value. He
says that he is no boomer. He knows a
good thing when he sees it. He had
firm belief in the future of Great Falls

The history of the city's achievements in
the past four years has, if anything, sur
passed his expectations.

GREAT FALLS, Jan. lo.-That portion of
tho governors message which recon-
mends that the legislature take some
action looking toward the deportation of
:hc Cree Indians struck n responsive
chord i'll this section, where these ma
rauders FOR the past 10 years have been
troublesome. The Crcos, like the hero in
one OF the famous novels, are without a
country. Canada is their home and they
belong III every respect to that country.
but they would rather take good slick
ing" than 90 back 10 their native land.
These unpatriotic feelings are prompted
by the fact that the Crecs are renegade
Indians, who FASTENED to this country
after the collapse of the Reil rebellion, in
which they are understood 10 have played
part, in order to escape the wrath of the
dominion authorities. They are in the

The problem of Kidding Montana of the
Crees is by no means n new one. 1t has
given the state department at Washing
ton something to think about on several
occasions, but the idea of returning them
has been dropped. The plan of returning
them without government aid is for the
various counties to be authorized by the
legislature to drive them from each
county. BY this action the state would
soon see the last of the Crees.

which was devoted to the subject of potato
culture. Professor Emery of the Bozeman
Agricultural college delivered discourse
upon the subject. He told of several sue
cessful experiments in potato raising at
the experimental station and cited various
cases IN which Montana farmers had
met with unusual success with the culture
of vegetables. He also presented a table
showing the yield per acre of the different
varieties. He gave Montana average yield
in 1898 as 1873 bushels per acre. while Color
ado was only 81. The professor presented
other facts relating TO culture of the vege-
table in Montana which we're of inestima-
BILE benefit to those engaged in the BUSH

with a discourse upon the subject of
diseases peculiar to Montana. This was
followed by apaper upon diversified farm
ing, by w. Muzzy.
c. f. Stork, a ranchman living near
Goodman Coulee, in this county, spoke
next. His subject was: "Past, Present
and Future of Montana, Alphabetically
Considered" His experience at farming
in this county proved to be a revelation to
the majority of those present. Five years
ago he settled upon a bench land farm in
Cascade county. lie had four cows, a
team of horses and a few implements.
To-day he has 4S) acr es under cultiva-
ton, well fenced, barn and
good house. He made it all
out of the farm, for when he
came here he says his total effects were
not worth 500. During the four years he
says he realized from the sale of farm
products of all kinds trifle over 81 900,
and to-day he has enough improvements
and stock as we'll as supplies on hand to
bring the amount up to $1,000 or on an
average of 5000 per year.
HIS address, was frequently punctuated
with applause and was the event of the
day. Professor Emery spoke again. TAX
ing for his subject the raising of alfalfa.
A general discussion followed.
Tonight Mr. Emery lectured upon agri-
