THEY ARE FIGHTERS.
THE MONTANA BOYS WARMLY
PRAISED FOR THEIR WORK.

W. Hubert. who was a member OF Com
pany b. Utah artillery. during the Philip
pine campaign. and frequently met the
Montana boys during their wild and fear
less rushes on the Filipnos, is very en-
thusiastic in his praise of the Montana
regiment. Mr.. Hubert is now a resident
of this city, having arrived here Satur-
day.
II think the Montana regiment was the
finest and the bravest on the entire fight
ing line he said, "and that is saying a
good deal, for l do not remember a single
instance where any of the American boys
showed any suspicion of the white
feather. When the Montanians gave
their whoop they would so across the line
at a pace that would almost take your
breath away. The march from La Iona
church to Malolos, which they subse-
quently captured, was accompanied by
continuous fighting. in which the boys in
variably distinguishing themselves by
fighting with the desperation of Indians.
Mr.. Hubert thinks that the city Of
Butte, as representing the will of the
state, cannot do too much for the boys
when they arrive here, in order to show
their appreciation of the service they
have rendered to our infant state in COW
ering her with the glory of achievement

5000 600 NECESSARY.

Before the pint committee on,
penalinstitutions Senator Brown,
chairman of the sub committee
investigating the penitentiary,
stated that he did not make a full
disclosure Of the results Of ex-
aminations, but had no hesitancy
in saying that the mismanages
ment of the penitentiary was
beyond a parallel in the history
of the State. He said the peni-
Tertiary owed $11O. 900 that he
knew of. How much more he was
unable to say, and advised that
this debt be liquidated a. once.
He thought a bond issue of $780,
900 would be necessary to put
the institution in good shape, and
believed that within two years,
with proper management, the
penitentiary would be a source of
revenue. Mewborne, he said. was
worse than Smith and the en-
ployees generally we're a disgrace
to North Carolina.
Only a few days since his COM
mittee could not get books from
the penitentiary because a book
keeper was beastly drunk, and
even now there was in the insti-
tuition a woman convict ruined by
the employees. and the conyicts
also at Castle Hayne were allows
ed to get drunk, and there and at
other places were filthy beyond
description. He urged the neces-
sity of immediate action, and the
committee instructed all news
paper reporters to have their
papers insert advertisements that
all claims against the penitentiary
| be sent to J. A. Brown, chair
man, inside of ten days.
