Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
Livingston, Aug. 15.-Thc Park county
jail has temporarily been converted into a
harbor OF refuge for J.. H.. Tydeman OF
Billings, who was arrested at that city
last week upon the serious charge of GRIM
inally assaulting an s-year-old girl. The
reports that had gained circulation re-
garding the case had aroused public in
dignation at Billings and the feeling
against Tydeman was at such a'high
pitch that ii was feared an attempt would
be made 10 take the prisoner from the
Jail and deal with him without the for
mality Of a trial. Sheriff Berkey OF Bill
lings accordingly took steps to secure the
safety OF his prisoner. He wired to Judge
Loud of Miles City for authority to re-
move Tydeman to some place of security
and received this reply:
Protect prisoner fully; II necessary re-
move him to Livingston"
The sheriff In the exigency OF the case
decided not to await for the arrival by
mail Of a formal court order OF removal.
but placed the prisoner under escourt or
Under Sherln Newman. aboard the first
train for Livingston.
In an interview with Tydcman he de-
clared that IL he had committed the act
charged against him he had no recollec-
ton OF It. He had been drinking heavily
for three days, he said, and was in such
a state of intoxication. I'm fact, that such
an act would be impossible. lie charged
that IL was a case of spitework against
him. The little girl was not his step
daughter. Although he and the girls
mother had been living as husband and
wife they had never been married, FOR
the reason that he has a wife living at
Salt Lake. He charged one of the wit
nesses against him with attempting to in
duce Mrs. Tydeman. as she is known, TO
leave him. and he laid at the door of this
witness the trumping up OF the charge
against him.
The sheriff of Yellowstone takes an al
together different view OF the case. In
his note TO Sheriff Young he said that 1t
was a strong case against the prisoner
and the evidence was exceptionally strohs.
Tydeman will be confined in jail here
about two months. awaiting the next term
OF court at Billings. which meets about
the middle of October. lie may ask for a
change of venue, and II il Is granted his
trial will take place at Red Lodge, which
is the nearest point where a court of ju-
rIsdiction in the case is to be found.
Tydeman claims that he ran for county
attorney i'm Big Horn county, Wyoming, a
few years ago.
Thomas H.. Carter was In the city last
evening. returning to Mammoth Hot
Springs this morning. He stated that

extend his trip to Helena. but will go no
further West. Senator Allison did not ac-
company the party to the park, being call
ed East i'm regard TO the his appointment
as one OF the member of the peace COM
mission.
The electric light company expect to
have their service i'm operation again the
middle Of the week. The machinery nee

ing placed in position as rapidly as possl-
bile.
Herman Kahle was down from Chico
the other day. and in conjunction with
L. A. Swain. was making arrangements
looking toward the establishment of an
other newspaper in Park county. The
gentlemen intend to run an independent
paper and have made overturcs to a versa
tile newspaper man of this city to take
the editorial chair. They propose In the
conduct of the new paper not to harp
upon one string all the time. but il they
can secure the writer they desire. VIII
play most any kind of a tune not neon
sistent with the motto:
Here shall the press the peoples rights
maintain.
Unawed by influence. unbribed by gain.
