in THE CASE OF KOSANKA
The Young Man Admitted He Was
Guilty of Forgery-New Trials
Wanted and Other Cases
= Pushed Along.

BUTTE, Feb. 25.-William Kosanka. the
young man who was brought back from
cheyenne several months ago to answer
the charge of forgery, pleaded guilty this
morning in Judge Speer's court and was
sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.
1t was the lowest sentence that could BIO
Imposed under the law. Kosanka exc
cuted and passed number of worthless
checks, for small amounts, on different
merchants in Butte. His counsel, c. L.
Campbell, made a statement to the court
IN which he intimated that Kosanka had
been the victim of heartless and de-
signing woman who pulled his leg until
he was forced to commit the forgery in
order to satisfy her demand. The name
OF the woman was not mentioned in court,
but is understood to be we'll known frail
one who has pulled more prominent legs
than that of Kosanka.
The court said it was shame to see a
young man of Kosanka's appearance get
mixed up in such case, for he did not
look like criminal. While the court and
the lawer was talking Kosanka hung his
head.
1t is stated that he has threatened to
commit suicide and it is feared that he
may attempt it if gwen an opportunity.
He will be removed to the penitentary at
once,

TOLD TO GET AND THEY GOT
How Henry Wolfe Held Down a Mining
Claim

| Cha m.
BUTTE, Feb. 25.-Henry NJ. Wolfe, an
old ranoher with an Uncle Samuel bunch
OF whiskers on his chin, was on trial to-
| day before a jury in Judge Speer's court
on the charge of exhibiting, in a threaten
ing manner, rifle in the presence of
| Charles Bayer, William G. orion, A. 7.
Ewing and t. L. Baker. The old man had
been convicted of the offense in a JUS
tees court, but he was not satisfied and
took an appeal.
According to the testimony of the states
witnesses Mr.. orion owns a ranch in
Browns gulcb, which he leased to a man
named Brouse, a son-in-law of Wolfe. and
the latter lived on the place with the les
see. Orion discovered quartz lead on the
ranch and determined to locate it in order
to prevent any possible jumping" by
other parties, so on Aug. 30, of last year,
he went out with Bayer, Ewing and MIR.
Baker. Bayer and Ewing went some dis
lance beyond the house occupied by
Wolfe and started 70 dig hole for the
purpose OF putting up a location.
I'VE were there about five minutes
when the old man came out and ordered
us off" said Bayer in his testimony. 1--WE
refused to go and said we had been sent
by Mr.. orion. Wolfe then ran into the
house and soon came out with an old
Springfield rifle. he said he would give
us Just 10 minutes to get off, but we didn't
go and he ran back into the house and
brought. a clock out which he set up on a
post. He then pointed the gun at Ewing
and called off the minutes as they passed.
'One-two-three-fou - six and
then he said we had better git as he
would surely get one of us. He kept on
counting until there was only one minute
left and then he cooked the gun and ran
down the hill, followed by Ewing, and
Wolfe coming after us with the gun. We
met Mr.. Baker and Mr.. orion. and Wolfe
also pointed the gun at them and told
them to get out. We left and came to
town and had him arrested"
The defense was that Wolfe had a war
ranty deed to the ranch from his son-in-
law, who had secured il from Ewing, the
same man who had sold 1t to orion, and
he was therefore regarding Orion and his
party as trespassers and had a right TO
run them off.
The defendant, Wolfe, in his testimony.
admitted that he got the gun and chased
the men off the premises. II told them
to git, and you bet they got" he said.
The jury, after being out about half an
hour, found a verdict of guilty and as
sessed fine of SO and costs against
Wolfe. The costs amount to S51. George
Haldorn defended Wolfe, and Assistant
County Attorney Barlow and &. L. Camp
bell prosecuted the case.

ued at S2l5, and for 500 as damages for

alleges that on Saturday last Mr.. Rosen-
thai took unlawful possession of the time

The interesting facts in the case, how
ever, are that in 1889 Mr.. Shaw. who was
then a resident of Leadville. was

although he always strongly suspected the
thief, he could never secure sufficient evil

Want a New Trial.

The attorneys for Phillip Vineyard, who
was convicted last week of forgery. this
morning filed a motion for a new trial on
the ground that the court had misdirected
the jury and had admitted illegal evil
dence and that the verdict was contrary
to the law and the evidence. The motion
will probably be argued next week, and
sentence was postponed for two weeks.
The court was asked to fix bond pend
ing the argument of the motion, but he re-
fused to do so. A great deal of sympathy
is being manifested for Vineyard, because
the evidence against him was not con-
sidered very strong and he has a helpless
family of wife and two little children
depending on him.

The Vote as Registered
Last Year

BUTTE, Feb. 25.-The great register OF
the city will open on Tuesday, March
| ~. and remain open until the Goth for the
registration of voters. Ii will be open
again on Saturday, April 6, for corrections
and the addition of voters who were un-
avoidably absent during the preceding
time. John G.. Simpson and II. r. Cum
bingham are the registry agents and they
will have brand new great register in
which to enter the names of voters. In or
der TO be able to vote at the coming cleo
ton man must be a full citizen of the
United States, must have been in the
state year and in the city thIee
months and must have resided in
the ward in which he desires to vote for
10 days next preceding election day. Hold
ers of first papers only, whether they were
taken out prior to October, 1889, or al any
other time, will be unable to vote this
spring. All voters must be full citizens
OF the United States. The election will
occur on Monday, April 8, instead of a
week earlier, as was enormously written
in this mornings STANDARD.
Election gossip is heard on all sides and
considerable surprise is manifested that
there has been no movement towards
bonding the city's debt and starting out
on cash business. The bonding propo-
sition was defeated at the last election,
but there is reason to believe that it would
carry this spring. The city now has n
floating debt of between 1926, 900 and $780,
OOO and a bonded Indebtedness of $685.
600. The total Indebtedness of the city is
just about the same as il was two years
ago. ......
Alderman Kelly is being quite generally
talked OF for mayor on the populist ticket
while Major Dawson is mentioned as a
probable candidate for the same office on
the democratic ticket.
1t is expected that the registration this
year will be considerably over 5000. Last
years registration was about 1850. aud
$3.50 votes were cast, divided among the
different wards as follows:

CROOK.
BUTTE, Feb. 25.-Tom Franey, a young
fellow whom the police have been watch.
ing closely for some time, was arrested by
Detective Murphy this afternoon on a
charge of robbery. Franey sold to Felix
France, a miner who boards at the Clar-
ence hotel, a washed gold ring, and as
France handed him the money for it he
snatched both the money and the ring and
ran off as though his satanic majesty was
in close pursuit. Franey is suspected of
having stolen several overcoats from the
skating rink recently, but the police were
never able to secure a clear case against
him. He was tried at Great Falls a month
ago on charge of highway robbery and
was acquitted, although there was no
doubt IN the minds of the officers as TO
his guilt.

Against Chauvin-Fant.

Judge Speer this morning rendered a
decision in the Chauvin-Fant attachment
suit and ruled against the company and
IN favor of Attorney Shelton, who repre-
sents the attaching creditors. Mr.. Shell
ton was permitted to withdraw the name
OF the Omaha Upholstering company as
plaintiff and substitute the name of Fred
crlck Pape and William Schleiger, who
are doing business under the firm name
OF the West Side Upholstering company,
and who have an account of $8S. 30 against
the Chauvln-Fant company. They also
sue on the following assigned accounts:
st. Johns Manufacturing company,
S3O1.O6; Indianapolis Chair Manufacture
ing company, S33l.38; Butte Good Tenn
plars' lodge, $500; Forest City Furniture
company, Sl71.42: total, 81, 1856. A new
complaint was filed in which it is al
legged that the various accounts were as
signed to the plaintiff for valuable con-
sideration. They had already been as
signed to the Omaha company and by the
latter repudiated. The Western Mattress
company and the Lincoln Upholstering
company had also been included in the
original suit but are not in the new one.
The case will now be taken to the SUI
preme court.

A Grand Jury.

j. II. Leyson, p. r. Dolman and S.
Marchesseau were drawn to act with the
county clerk and the clerk of the courts
as commission to select a trial and
grand jury for the April term of court in
department III. In instructing them this
morning Judge Speer stated that he had
discovered that in the past a good many
men got on the jury who were not tax
payers. he could not understand how it
happened, but said it should not occur
again, and called the commissioners at
tentlon to the fact that the Jurors must
be selected from the tax rolls of the
county. If men were drawn on a jury
who are not taxpayers, it might result in
the mlstrial of some expensive civil or
criminal trial, and there would arise no
end of trouble and annoyance. The
judge stated that in all probability
grand jury would be impaneled and urged
the commissioners to select the names of
men who would be perfectly impartial
and act independent of any influence.
The court called attention to the fact that
important matters would be presented to
the grand jury for investigation, and this
fact should be remembered in selecting
names for the jury.

fer TO Chamberlain Pain Balm. When
it is kept at hand the severe pain of
a burn or scald may be promptly relieved
and the sore healed in much less time
than when medicine has to be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated before
inflammation sets in, which insures a
cure in about one-third the time other
wise required. Cuts, and bruises should
receive immediate attention before the
parts become swollen, and when Cham
berlain's Pain Balm is applied it will
heal them without matter being formed,
and without leaving a scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night. A
piece of flannel dampened with this lin
iment and bound on over the seat of
pain, will cure lame back or pain in the
side or chest in twenty-four hours. 1t
is the most valuable, however, IN rheu-

relief from pain which it affords, and it
can be depended upon to effect complete
cure. For sale by G. o. Yates, druggist.
