SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
Judge DuBOse Gives q ChOteau Count,
Murderer the Limit.
IGrrat Fails

I'Ttdt fdllS lTlDult'l
Attorney W. g.. Downing has re-
ceived word that John Birks. who
was convicted at Fort Benton of
the murder of Claus Nichols, ON
Eagle Creek, April3 30, last, has been
sentenced by Judge DuBose to i'm
prisrnment in the penitcntiary for
life.
Birks was convicted of murder in
the second degree, the penalty for
which Is Imprisonment for not less
than 10 years. The life sentence is
not unexpected, for Birks Is OIL
sidered lucky to have not been con-
victed Of murder in the first degree.
He was shown to have killed Nichols
with great elaboration and il was
also shown that he had always been
a handy man with IA gun, and Mr..
Downing is given great credit by
all who heard the testimony.
1t il learned that the information
charging young l.ithgo, Birks'
nephew and alleged accomplish in
the murder, with perjury was filed
at the direction Of Judge DuBOse.
Birks had been working for John
Lehfeldt of Big Sandy ut the latter's
ranch, on Eagle creek. He desired
to get Lehfeldt's sheep to run, and,
becoming enraged because he could
not get them, b.. decided to kill
Nichols, whom Lehfeldt had favored.
In the evening Of April 30, at supper,
Birks struck Nichols over the head
with n bottle, and then with the
butt Of n rifle, and then shot him,
blowing his head To pieces. Birks
announced an intention of killing the
other occupants of the cabin. who at
once fled, and then Birks attempted
to escape. 1t will be remembered
that all Choteau county was then
covered with from two to three feet
of snow. and Birks horse played out.
Birks tried to escape IN foot, hut
met an officer and gave himself up,
pretending that he had intended to
do SO all the time. At first the Of
ticers would not believe that he had
killed anyone, as they had heard
nothing Of the crime, although sew
eral days had elapsed. but investiga-
tion soon showed what an awful
crime had been committed.
Lithg0, it il alleged, assisted Birks
in his attempt to escape by striking
Marcus Messer. who was endeavor-
ing To restrain Birks, over the head
with n bottle. Messer was one of
the eye witnesses OF the murder,
being in the Don with Birks, Lith-
go and Nichols, and Birks, after
killing Nichols, threatened to shoot
Messer.

President Mckinley and members
of his cabinet left Washington last
Saturday To attend the Chicago fall
carnival and visit other points i'm the
west. ON every hand the president
has received the most cordial and
enthusiastic greeting by immense
thrOngs. Every utterance of his is
generously applnuded, especially any
reference To restoring order and es-
tabliShing the authority Of the Inited
States in the Philippines. His recep-
tiun in Chicago has no parallel in the
history oi the country. The people
make no mistake when they honor
and proclaim their loyalty to the
present incumbent OF the white house,
He is one OF the grandest men this
country has produced.

HIS ISSUES NOT POPULAR.

W. J. Bryan last week concluded n
stumping tour Of Nebraska and there
ia good ground for believing that his
reception was disappointing to him
self. A travelling man for n Chicago
house, on being interviewed at
Omaha, stated that he attended a
few OF Mr.. Bryan's meetings and also
c~onversed with him. He gave his
impressions as follows:
"Of course Mr.. Bryan lid not adj
nit the failure Of his tour through
eastern Nebraska" he said. ''On tho
contrary. he talked hopefully. still,

sentiment prevailing in the minds %

Mckinley before leaving Washington
last week was the appointment o.
Col. Kessler, Of the First Montana

Col. Kessler acquitted himself nobIy,
