"17S7" in figures and on the opposite

saws that if the coin is valuable he will
sell it. if not he will keep it for the
motto. Mind your business. This is
one of the first coins ever stamped in
the United States and was known as
the "Lugio or Franklin coins. They
were all stamped "17S7" according to
a resolution passed in Congress on

The Montana Senators.

Fort Benton River Press: Montana
citizens who are affected to some eX-
tent by the provisions of the lnglcy
bill will feel somewhat disappointed
over the setbacks received by that
measure in the United States senate.
There may even be a disposition in some
quarters to criticise the Montana sena-
tors, who on two occasions have voted
to prevent consideration of the bill
when such programme has been sab
mitted by the republican leaders.
We think, however, tina. such criti-
cism can be withheld. and should be de-
ferred in fairness to all parties con-
cerned, until the final outcome of the
affair has been ascertained The Mon

pared to give a good account Of their

Walter Lowe and Bessie Davis, of Note,
Married Yesterday.


Married Yesterday.
A marriage which took place at 4
O'Clock yesterday settled the difficulties
of Walter Lowe and Bessie Davis. IL will
be remembered that just before Christ
mas the mother of Bessie Davis, girl
of about 10 years, gave her daughter per-
mission one Sunday evening to accom-
pany Mr.. Lowe to the Episcopal church
to hear the new organ. Mr.. Lowe prom
Used that he would bring Bessie home d.
rectly after the service. but he did not.
Instead of going TO church they went to
one or two beer saloons, drank some
beer and Bessie spent the night in loves
room instead of going home. The next
day she also failed to go home, but was
I'm company with another girl most of the
day That evening she went to loves
room again and along about midnight the
police. instigated by the girls stepfather
went to loves room and arrested the
young man and the girl.
Lowe had a preliminary trial on the
charge of abduction and was bound to
the district court. Bessie had remained
in Jail and refused 20 say anything which
might criminate her lover and also re-
fused to listen TO the pleadings of her
parents, who asked her to return home
and all would be forgiven.
The case came up for trial in the dis
trict court last week The charge had
been changed but the prosecution failed
utterly, and Bessie refused absolutely to
say word that might criminate Lowe.
The case was continued and finally dis
missed. A marriage was arranged be-
tween the young people. Mr.. Lowe. II is
said. acting honorably in the matter The
ceremony was performed at the Davis
home at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon by
Rev. 5. c. Blackiston.

Brothers murderer Hanged.

William c. Vipond returned to Butte
yesterday from Sante Fe, N NJ, where
he has been for long time engaged in
the prosecution of the Mexican murderer
Perdillo, who killed his brother, John Vi
pond. 1t will be remembered by the read
ers of the Standard that John Vipond was
killed in the mountains of New Mexico
by this Mexican desperate. in August
1894. Perdillo had committed two murders
before that. William vipond went to
New Mexico to hunt down his brothers
murderer. and he was finally captured,
tried and convicted. While in Jail await
ing the sentence, two or three attempts
were made to rescue Perdillo by his con-
federates, but the attempts at escape
were unsuccessful.
The scaffold was built and everything
was ready for the hanging on Dec. q, but
just before that date a new trial was
granted. This will not take place until
next July. Mr.. Vipond I'm the meantime
will look after his interests in Montana,
but before July will return to see that
his brothers murder is avenged.
