garding treet Stands = he
Powder Matter Revised

Two new ordinances were drawn up
by the city attorney yesterday and in
troduced at the council me stlng last
night. One is an ordinance regulating
and providing for the licensing of job
and express wagons. 1t provides that
no person can run any job or express
wagon without first procuring a city Ii
cense for each of such wagons used in
his business. IL also provides that in
applying for \ license he must present
to the city easurer a stand permit
which shall .ot be within 20 feet of the
boundary of any stand per mt irCV'ous-
persons who shall be in legal posses
persons who shall lbe in legal posses
sion of not less than 10 feet of continu-
Gus frontage of the lot or on the ground
floor of the building before which it is
desired for the wagon TO stand The
stand permit must be approved in
writing by the mayor or chief of police
before the license is issued. The Ii
cense for each wagon drawn by one
horse is $3.50 per quarter and for each
additional horse $2.50 per quarter The
licensed wagons are to have numbers
on metallic plates attached to the sides.
1t is provided that the person having
a stand permit must at the close of
each days business thoroughly clean
and remove all accumulations of filth
and rubbish keeping the stand in
clean condition. The rne for a viola
tion of the ordinance is not less than
IS nor more than 800.
The other ordinance drawn up by the
city attorney and introduced last night
is the revised powder ordinance. The
only change Is that instead of provid-
ing that the powder magazines shall
not be within three miles of the city
limits, it provides that they shall not
be within two and 2S one-hundredths
miles of the city limits. This ordinance
is necessary in order to permit the
transfer of the powder magazines to
the new location.

MORE HABEAS CORPUS
George B. Dygert Discovers Another
Police Court Record Flaw.
THREE HAPPY PRISONERS
In Behalf of John Peters, William
Jones and ID. l.. mi h = other
Convicts Willing to Fave
Their Cases Tested.
THREE HAPPY PRISONERS

George B. Dygert, the noted habeas
corpus lawyer, has discovered a new
flaw in police court records under
which a number of men were commit
ted to the county Jail and in order to
test the merit of his discovery he in
stituted habeas corpus proceedings
yesterday in behalf of John Peters.
William Jones and d. L. Smith, who
are doing" time in the county Jail.
Judge Mediation issued the writ and
the cases will be heard Saturday after
noon.
The same question is raised in each
of the three cases and is based on sec
ton 1891 of the penal code, which reads
that issues of fact must be tried by
Jury, unless a trial by jury be waived
in criminal cases not amounting to fell
ony by the consent of both parties ex-
pressed in open court and entered in
its minutes"
1t is claimed that Peters, Jones and
Smith did not have Jury trials and the
police court records do not show that
a trial by jury was waived by the
consent of both parties expressed in
open court"
Peters is the man who "swiped''
Chance Harris gold headed cane one
day last fall and was sent up for six
months and fined $500.
Jones was convicted Oh petty larceny
and got 500 fine and jail sentence of
three months.
Smith had been arrested and charged
with assault in the second degree but
was permitted to plead guilty to as
sault in the third degree and was fined
$500 and given five months in Jail in
addition to the fine.
Since Mr.. Dygert's success in releas-
ing from Jail batch of prisoners sew
eral weeks ago every man in Jail has
been anxious for a go" at a habeas
corpus, and nearly every lawyer in the
city has been petitioned by some OF
them to take up their cases for the
glory there is in 1t. There are several
men in Jail who so richly deserve to be
there that several attorneys, convers-
ant with the facts, have, ii is said, re-
fused to take the cases although II Is
admitted that the fellows would stand
good chance of obtaining their release
through habeas corpus technicalites
In several cases, 1t is said, the records
have been corrected and amended sc
that they now meet the requirements
of the courts decision in recent habeas
corpus proceedings.

BILL GAYS CHANCES.
His Attorneys Asa the Governor for a
Rrprieve of thirty DAYS


Rrprieve of thirty DAYS
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May 20.-Colonel w. F. Sanders
and Lewis Penwell were before Governor
Richards to-day and asked for a reprieve
for Bill Gay, who is sentenced to hang
Monday. The governor will not reply
till tomorrow. Gay has heard nothing
from Washington. His application for
writ of error must have reached there
four days ago. He has employed an at
torney to present his application to the
supreme court. Any justice may issue the
writ, which, If done, will act as a stay of
execution. If all nine justices refuse to
issue the writ Gays only hope will be in
the governor granting Communication OF
sentence. Gays attorneys are not pre-
pared to make their final appeal for Glenn
ency, as all petitions have not been re-
ceived They have on hand a score of pc
titions containing 1000 names, but that,
they claim, is not half the total number
scattered through the state. There must
be some decisive action in few days IL
Gay escapes being executed next Monday
morning. as the law has decreed.
Maud Gay. the 13-year-old daughter of
the condemned man, has been trying to
raoe money for her father. She visits him
every day, and seems to realize more
than Gay himself does the seriousness of
his position.

LOW PRICES FOR FINE GOODS.

Henry Onerman is holding his regular annual
sale OF winter blankets at his drygoods store In
Fulton-st The sale began last Monday, and has
attracted much attention by reason OF the low
prices asked for the fine goods displayed. Many
shrewd buyers take advantage OF an opportunity
like this and lay in supply for the winter. 1t
is estimated that saving is made OF 80 l-3
per cent.
Tomorrow this welknown establishment will
begin a sale of hosiery. underwear and mems fur

draw wing card for buyers. Mr. Onerman took adj
