ter of a Turkish family residing in the

The testimony of Mrs. Barbara Shebon

cabin and had the door locked, but II
was not shown that he was caught In
bed with the child, as had been alleged.
1t was brought out by the defense that
Pool opened the door when one Of the
witnesses knocked. and there was no
indication that an assault was being at
tempted in all that the neighbors said
they aw. When, at the conclusion Of
the states case counsel for Pool moved
for dismissal, the prosecution did not

II Will he the Greatest Celebration Ever
Seen I'm Montana.


The Labor day committee OF the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor assembly
held a meeting last evening and dis
cussed plans for what will doubtless be
the greatest celebration OF the day ever
seen in Montana. 1t was decided TO or
der coaches for at least 5000 people to
go to the picnic at Anaconda on that
day. Ex-Governor Altgeld of Illinois
has been invited to be orator of the day
and il is likely that he will accept. La
Dor day is a day for laboring people.
and 1t is understood that nearly all So
cieties and unions in Butte will assist
i'm making the celebration this yea a
record breaker. The committee last
evening learned that several men have
been going around to the merchants Of
Butte soliciting prizes In the name Of
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor as
Semly. such persons are impostors, as
the assembly has no such committee out
and there is no intention to solicit prizes
from the merchants for Labor day.
