Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena. Mont. Dec. 19.-Bill Gay will
not swing tomorrow. Governor Rick
ards at 6 o'clock this afternoon, Just
IL hours before the time set for the
execution. granted the condemned
man a reprieve to Jan. %. The action
was necessary. as the motion for a new
trial could not have been submitted
to-dav. and while an appeal from the
judgment would have acted as a stay
of execution, II would have left the
case in very complicated condition.
Referee Crane reported his findings
of fact regarding the bill of exceptions
in dispute to the supreme court this
morning. They were adopted. The de-
fendant's attorneys won their point re-
garding the position taken by them In
arguing the case. An exception had
been taken to the courts instructions
to the jury. for the reason that no in
structions were given on murder in the
second degree and manslaughter.
This exception was stricken out by
the court and a paragraph inserted to
the effect that the jury had not been
instructed on manslaughter and MUIR
der In an under degree, because de-
fendant's attorneys had said to the
jury in the arguments that they wantL'
ed no intermediate grounds-that Gay
was innocent or guilty of murder in
the first degree. Two OF Gays counsel
had taken that ground, but Attorney
Penwell had not. and they wanted a
bill to show Mr.. Penwell's position.
The referee decided that the bill should
show that Mr.. Penwell argued that
Gay could not be found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree under any cir
cumstances.
Attorneys for the state desired to
submit the motion for a new trial
without argument. but the defense
would not consent. Nothing was left
but reprieve. for an appeal from the
judgment would take the case out of
the lower court before the motion for
a new trial had been submitted
Governor Richards was appealed to,
but at first refused to grant the re-
prieve. Then he consulted the attor-
ney general and found that the codes
gave him authority to act ainpsuch
cases. AS action was absolutely neces-
sary he finally granted the reprieve.
The motion for a new trial will be
submitted in a fews days, but Gays
attorneys will not take an appeal, IL
the motion is overruled, until just be-
fore the day of execution, as now set.
The reprieve delays subsequent pro-
ceedings Just one month. 81 "A
Gay took the matter very philosoph-
ically. While his attorneys were rush
ing about in frantic effort to get the
reprieve he sat coolly in his cell await
ing the result. Every half hour or so
he could hear a dull thud from the Jail
yard. 1t was the sound of the weight
falling as the gallows was tested. The
rope was soaped and every preparation
was made to carry out the execution
at the hour set Gay knew as well as
the officers that an appeal would be
taken IL the reprieve was not granted.
II have been in tighter places than
this" he told the sheriff to-day.

brute knocked down a school boy near

would probably have killed the lad but
for the timely assistance of a passing
teamster. The dogs of this city are
becoming a bigger nuisance every day
1T is hardly safe for children to go

The city officials will do a grand work
IL they start In the new year by en-
forcing the city ordinance pertaining
to untagged dogs. There are at least
1.600 dogs in Anaconda and yet there
were only 16l licenses issued during
the past year. One young man was
heard to remark yesterday that the
city council might enforce the dog or
dinance and come down on the
amount of money asked to conduct a

The Council Passes Ordinance Probib-
iting Gambling In the City.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Bozeman, Dec. 19.-The city council
held its regular meeting this. evening.
and, after a little routine busfnessf the
ordinance presented by Alderman Koch
one month ago, for the prohibition of
gambling in the city of Bozeman, was
taken up and passed by a vote of five
to three. Before this ordinance came
up, City Attorney Pearce read a writ
ten opinion of some length, giving 1t as
his opinion that the ordinance would
be perfectly legal. after which he read
six petitions which had been handed in
by the Citizens league OF this city,
petitioning the city council to pass the
pending ordinance for the prohibition
of gambling. These petitions bore the
signatures of 3O6 voters and 400 citi-
zens. the signatures under the head of
citizens being, for the most part those
of ladies. The total number of votes
cast at the last city election here was
$50. and as nearly 200 voters had not
been seen by those circulating the petit
tions. the Citizens league claimed that
these petitions showed a strong senti-
ment in Bozeman against gambling.
A committee from the Citizens
league then asked permission to ex-
plain the reasons for presenting these
petitions which, being granted, DR. j.
Nj. Waters, acting for the Citizens
league, gave in detail the reasons for
this move on the part of the league,
and also read the written opinions OF
Attorney General Haskell and City At
torney Bullard of Helena, both of
which were strongly favorable to and
cited many cases In point as illustrat-
ing the legality of such an ordinance.
Alderman Lansing then moved to lay
the ordinance on the table indefinitely.
which motion receivedla second. but
was lost Much spirited discussion of
the ordinance then followed. lasting
for an hour and ending in the passage
of the ordinance by a vote of five to
three. The ordinance takes effect on

England's countless cruelties; he spoke
of the plans and purposes OF the irish
National alliance and urged the lovers
of liberty. independent of race. creed

right to live in the enjoyment OF ho-

the men of Irish blood upon American
soil and he pictured the results OF al
lowing England to gain control OF more
territory upon this continent.
When Mr.. Connolly spoke in approx
al of the splendid words of President

those present was hostile to Britain's
determination to bluff Venezuela into
submission.
