CLAYTON GOES FREE.
The Board OF Parions CONFIRMS the Ae-
tioa of Governor Richards.

special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Helena, Jan. 2-Charles A. Clayton.
who was convicted OF the murder of T. G.
Maddux In the Silver Bow district court
on June Is 1sSs. and sent TO the peniten-
tiary l5 years ago. was made a free man
to-day. Governor Richards recently par
doned him and to-day the board con-
firmed the pardon Clayton had Is months
more to serve.
Clayton and Maddux were ranchers.
living as neighbors in Camp creek. They
had trouble over water rights and one
day. Aug. 10. 1887. Maddux went to Clay
toms ranch with three armed friends and
engaged IN a quarrel with Clayton. Mad
dux advanced ON Clayton with a loaded
shotgun and the latter shot and killed
him with a revolver. The case attracted
very general attention. Many people, par
ticulariy In Silver Bow county. sympa-
thized with Clayton, believing that he
had acted in self-defense. A strong petit
tion was made during Governor Tooles
administration for clemency. but without
success. The petition was signed by Is
Jurors who found Clayton guilty and the
judge who sentenced him. Governor Rick
ards In giving his reasons for the pardon
In part says: I'm view OF the near ap-
proach of the end OF his term and In re-
sponse to the request of prominent citi-
zens, have entered a careful considera-
tion OF the case. and have reached the
conclusion that the ends OF justice have
been fully met. and the interest of society
can be best served by the release of this
man at this time. The standing and char
acber OF the men who plead for his par
don convince me that Clayton shot Mad
dux under combination OF circum-
stances that did not Indicate that he was
a criminal at heart, but that he feared
that his own life was in danger"
The board of pardons also to-day con-
firmed the governors action in remitting
fine OF $500 imposed by a Bozenan JUS
tice upon Joseph Laplant for killing an
elk In violation of the game law OF 1898.
The attorney general voted against the
confirmation. but the other two members

'sThe Associated Press is being daily
stuffed with Mckinley matter, much of
it interjected at Chicago. The Assoc

Who in the deuce is Hanna; and why
should the papers favoring other candi-
dates, be called upon to print or to pay
telegraph tolls on what Mr.. Hanna says?
Either the Associated Press should give
equal prominence to all candidates or
keep still about all of them. We hope
it will not be made factional associa-

right to complain Of their treatment up

MADE 4 PRIEST OF ROME
Son of Hebrew Lawyer Qualities to
Preach the Religion of the Cross.

A dispatch from Albany, n. Y, says:
Charles William Oppenheim, son of a
Hebrew lawyer of New York city. was
ordained today as priest OF the CathO-,
lie church Before beginning his theo-
logical studies he was reporter on a To-
cal newspaper.
The ceremony took place in the Church
of Our Lady of Angels, and the unusual
event attracted a large assernblage. The
ceremony began at 1890 a. m. Right
Rev I. A. Burke, fourth bishop of Al
bany, of1iciated at high mass, assisted by
thu Franciscan Fathers, who filled the
other Offices OF the mass. Bishop Burke
administered the sacrament of holy or
ders and placed the chasuble upon the
shoulders of the candidate, who after
wards Frustrated himself upon the altar
directly in front of the tabernacle. The
prostration is symbolic of the candidates
humility, and by it lla renounces the
world and all it's pomps and vanities.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
Bishop Burke explained the different
parts of the ceremonies and said that in
olden times the priests of God We're
chosen from the descendants af Aaron,
but in the present time any family could
give unto the church a son to be a priest
He said that the newly ordained priest
was one who had the blood Of Aaron in
his veins.
Mr.. Oppenheim, besides being regu-
lar ordained priest, is now a member of
the Order. of Minor Conventionals, the
first and highest of the three orders Of
St. Francis Assist. His convent name is
l'Agitus.
After the ceremony, he blessed his
mother and other relatives who had as
sembled at the convent. z :,
Father Oppenheim is Twenty-Five
years old. He is the first graduate of
the local franciscan Seminary, where he
has been studing for the past six years..
