/ severed at the fifth vertebra. The coro-
ner's jury, after hearing the testimony
| of number of witnesses, brought in a
verdict that Denslow came to his death
! from gunshot wound, said gun being
then and there in the hands of and dis
| charged by one Los Blackman, by
| criminal means"
| Denslow in physique was literally a
| giant and in a hand-to- hand combat
| was the match for half dozen men of
| ordinary stature. While he had no
| reputation for gun plays, it was known
that he had had many an encounter and
had usually come out victor When
| sober he was warm-hearted and gener-
! Gus. but under the influence of whiskey
he became abusive and of vicious tenn
| per. He had worked for a good many
| years on the range, usually as round
| up COOK, but when he quit the Home
Land and Cattle company he purchased
fine ranch about 40 miles from Glas-
gov on Cherry creek. He was SO years
OF age and unmarried and the body was
| shipped to his mother, who lives at
jamestown, n. Y.
Blackman has lived in this country
for 10 years, coming hither from Texas
and engaging in the cattle business as
a cowboy. He has been sober and in
dustrious, and by persistent effort has
worked up from ordinary range rider
to the position he now holds. He has
never had any trouble prior to this IA
tai one, and has always been consid-
cred as man who attended strictly to
his own business.
The district court term just closed
at Glasgow has resulted in the con-
viction of Oscar Brown, Sam Palmer
and Jesse st. Clair on the charge of
grand larceny, in that they stole steer
belonging to the Circle Diamond out
mt. Brown was defended by J. A. Lar
gent of this city, but the jury brought
in verdict of guilty, and fixed the
sentence at one year in the peniten-
tiary. The two others pleaded guilty to
the charge and We're given the same
sentence by the court. The three are
very youthful, each being about 21
years of age, and in passing sentence
Judge DuBose gave them some very
fatherly advice as to their future
course in life
Andrew Sherry, charged with illeg-
ally branding cattle belonging to Kohrs
& Bielenberg, was acquitted by the
jury. The act was alleged to have been
committed in 1893, and the evidence
was very vague James Hyatt pleaded
guilty to the charge of petit larceny,
and was fined $40 and costs. The orig
inal charge was attempted robbery,
which was later modified
On motion of the county attorney the
grand larceny charge against Dutch
Henry, the man who escaped from
Deputy Sheriff Eder at Culhertson, was
dismissed, there being insufficient evil
dence to warrant a triar.
John O'Callaghan. who threw a
chunk of iron through a car window
early last month, was deemed suf1i-
GENTLY sane by the court to stand trial
on the charge of malicious mischief,
and was remanded to Jail to await the
next term of court.
The jury disagreed in the case
against Joe Hackney. Frank and Char
ley Macy, charged with the theft of q
bales of barbed wire from the Great
Northern railway. The jury was out
for IL hours, and at the end of that time
was evenly divided on the question. The
prisoners will probably be tried again
at the next term of court
John Patanaude, the half breed from
Turtle Mountain whose adventures in
the Italian settlement at Glasgow were |
related some time ago in these col
umns, pleaded guilty to the charge of i
burglary in the daytime and was given |
a year at Deer Lodge.
