is GUILTY OF MURDER
Jury Returns a Verdict in the
Pepo Case.
He KILLED JULIUS PLATH
An Appeal Will Be Taken-All the Evi-
dence Was Circumstantial-St-
mons Found Guilty of
Manslaughter.

Great Falls, June 4-William Pepo IS
guilty of the murder of Julius Plath. So
the jury in Teton county has decided, but
as his lawyers have decided to appeal the
case, William may escape paying the PEN
atty which a verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree is supposed to carry.
All Of the evidence was of the circumstan-
stial kind, but 1t points clearly to the
guilt of Pepo. The facts of the crime,
whose story has been told before in this
column are these:
One day during the last summer ranch
hand rode into the town of Choteau and
sought the office of the sheriff. He said
that the body of an unknown man had
been found in a deserted cabin on the
Muddy, with all the earmarks of foul
play surrounding it. No one knew the
name of the dead man. and there was
nothing to give a direct clue to it. Sew
eral people had seen two men pass their
places and one of them Tailed in descrip-
ton with the dead man. One woman at
whose house the pair had stayed over
night, remembered that they came from
Canada, and were evidently Germans.
William Hagen, the SherlH OF 1eton
county, went to work on the case, and.
following up slight clues, and helped per-
haps a trif1e by chance, came to the con-
clusion that the victim was julius Plath
of Pembroke. Ontario. who had been
working on the Crows Nest Pass rail-
way.
Then came the search for his compan-
len, and after many months he was found
working under an assumed name as a
ranch hand near Spokane. He was arrest
ed and brought back. Then came some
steady painstaking work, which followed
the course of the two men up to where
the body was found, and SO thoroughly
was this chain of evidence established
that the denials of Pepo as to acquaint-
ance with Plath, with the crime or with
the neighborhood were not credited by
the jury, although they debated the case
all night before agreement.
Charles Simons. charged with having
shot and killed Charles Buckley in a bar
room row, was found guilty of manslaugh-
ter and the jury fixed the punishment at
the minimum-one year in the peniten-
tiary.

AN uNExPLopEp BLAST.
The Cartridge Was Not Exactly the Proper
Thing.

'I was employed on the construction
work of the Guatemala Northern some
years ago." said civil engineer
to a New Orleans Times-Democrat
reporter. land one day we had a
bit of blasting 10 do to get rid
of a spur of granite that ran
across the line. Just as the hole was
drilled for the charge I was called away
for something or other, and left the
rest of the job in the hands of native
assistant telling him where he would
find a dynamite cartridge in box in
my tent.
standing around looking worried and
puzzled and my assistant told me that
the cartridge had failed to explode. 1t
is a tickl!sh piece of work to get at a
stick of dynamite under such circum-
stances. but ] had the tamping re-
moved as carefully as possible and put
in a new primer. That, too, very much
to nv surprise, failed to ignite the
charge, and as the Workmen refused
point blank to go near the spot, / had
to pick out the tamping myself. / did
SO with my heart in my mouth, and
finally disclosed the cartridge. The
stuff comes, as you know, in cylindri-
cal sections, like short, fat tallow can
dies, and something about this par
ticular piece struck me as looking queer.
I fished it out, and Immediately said
things that wouldn't sound we'll in a
Sunday school book The blamed fool
had missed the dynamite in my box
and had gotten hold of stick of shaw

FUNERAL OF W. c. O'lEARY,
He Was Buried With Impressive Services
at Belt.

Great Falls, June 4.-The exercises
held at Belt over the body of William
c. O'Leary the member of Company T
who died of fever at Cavite, We're yery
impressive. OF the ceremony and the
dead the Belt Times has the following
account: ,..
AT $50 p. M the funeral ceremony
was held under direction of the knights
of Pythias. The hall was crowded with
friends of the deceased. who were pres
ent to do honor to the departed soldier
and friend.
THE beautiful and impressive funeral
service of the Knights of Pythias was
conducted by Rev. w. r. Glasscock and
prayer by Ben Miller H. w. Miller de-
livered splendid funeral sermon, re-
viewing the history of the deceased
and the motives which prompted him to
give his life in the cause of liberty.
"A beautiful musical programme was
rendered by a chorus of 25 voices. Sc
lected from the choirs of all the
churches in camp.
THE hall was beautifully decorated
and the casket was covered with an
American flag and an abundance Of
floral decorations, the latter the gifts of
friends.
1T had been decided to inter the re-
mains at Great Falls and the funeral
cortege started for that city at 7 a, m
Tuesday. Arriving there it was met
by the Great Falls lodge Knights of
Pythias, Grand Army, Red Men and
many citizens, who escorted the BODY
to its last resting place.
Besides the members of the Knights
of Pythias who accompanied the re-
mains to the Falls were Mr.. and Mrs.

deceased was % years old. So far as
known he had no relatives in this coun-
try He was an italian by birth, but
came to this country when a child His
correct name was G. Caesar Lerstia.
when yet a mere boy he adopted the
name by which he was afterwards
known, William G. O'Leary. and started
out to make his own living. He first
secured employment in the mines at
Rouse, Col. under Mr.. Kinney, the
present superintendent here, and board
ed with Mrs. Holt. About four years
ago he came to Belt and again made
his home with Mrs. Holt who had in
the meantime removed here, and who
looked upon him as one of the family.
When the call for volunteers was is
sued he was anxious to place his name
on the muster roll, and when Company
l of LewistoWn arrived here he was the
first to seek the commanding officer for
place in theranks
For several weeks prior to his en-
listment he had laid at deaths door in
a cot at the hospital, a sufferer from
typhoid fever, and later by inf1amma-
tory rheumatism, from which he had
not fully recovered when he volunteered
his services. His condition, however,
did r Ut deter i'm OF lcssen his desire to
battle for the flag of his adopted coun-
try.
During his residence here Mr..
O'Leary was employed as a driver in
the A. C. M. Co. mines. He was a
prominent member of the knights of
Pythias and Improved Order of Red
Men, and also of the Good Templars
and Knights of the Golden Eagle dur
ing the existence here of lodges Of those
orders. He was of a most amiable dis
position and was the soul of honor. He
was free from the many vices so COM
mon to the rising generation, and was
admired and esteemed by every ac-
Ouaintance"

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
From Present Prospect Great Falls Will
Not Celebrate.


Great Falls, June 4-Seemingly this
town will hold no celebration on the com
ing Fourth of July. AT least no efforts
towards that end have as yet been made
nor IS there any sentiment now appearing
which favors marking the national holi-
day by anything more than a closing up
of business.
The Black Eagle band is considering an
offer from Lewistown, whose citizens lave
collected $1,000 for the day, and who are
anxious to cap the celebration by the pres
ence of the finest band in northern, If
not all, Montana. Lewistown people are
preparing to make July 4. 1899, day to
be remembered in all coming time as long
as there shall be town in the Judith
basin. So. too, are people of Gilt Edge
making ready to do honor with games
and noises to the birthday of the nation,
and from San Coulee, Belt and Neihart
come other reports of celebrations to be
held in these towns on that day. Havre
is preparing to lay aside for the minute
her scrap over municipal affairs and moral
reforms and arrange for that day a pro-
gramme SO magnificent that it will cause
all the good ranchers who come to town
to see the circus on July / to remain in
town, spending their good money with
the local people, in order that they may
not miss the events of July 4.
But Great Falls will not celebrate, Su-
perintendent Dickinson of the street rail-
way Informed the Standard representa-
tive the other day that he had ordered
a magnificent display of fireworks con-
sisting largely of novelties, which he in
tends for little show on the evening of
July down at the park.
"If the people of this city wish that col
lection for a celebration they are well
come to it at just its cost price, but if they
do not care for a celebration then I am
going to honor the day for my own pleas
ure and satisfaction down at the street
railway park
That was Mr.. Dickinson's statement,
and with it should go another-that Mr..
Dickinson has been about the only man
in the city in past years who has had the
enterprise to attempt to make the day
anything different from the ordinary
Great Falls Sunday. He is entitled to the
credit, and If he now sees fit to make a
little amusement for the public at his own
expense and on his own responsibility this
year he is certainly entitled to another
draft upon the thanks of citizens who like
to have the day observed in some form or
other.

Is a City of Auctions.
the New York Herald.

L loii lHe NEW 1oIk Herald.
New York is the city of auctions.
and at this season of the year the
hordes of auctioneers who sell to board
ing house keepers and young married
people are in the zenith of their glory.
There are three hundred reputa BILE auc-
non houses and three times that num-
per OF auctioneers in New York, and
they do yearly business of about
sIo,ooO,0o0. This does not take into con-
slderatlon the transactions of scores of
small auctioneers who devote them
serves entirely to the wants of the east
slae. New York is the best auction
town in the world for everything from
a brown stone front to an old sewing
machine. Now that the theatrical com
panies are beginning to come in from
the road, auetioneers who devote them
serves to this branch of the trade are
aoins land office business. A strong
pair OF lungs and a persuasive tongue
are no longer the chief stock in trade
OF an auctfoneer. He must know the
value of goods in order to buy a con-
slgnment of stuff outright and sell it
at profit, instead of on commission.

WHY SOME FOLKS ARE POOR.
Curious Facts Brought to Light in q New
England Town. .g

England Town.
The statistics relating to the care of
the poor are often interesting. In a
certain New England city, says writer
for the New York Times, they allow
the people who need the city's aid So a
week, and they order at certain stores
what they please up to that sum week.
ly, and the bills are sent to the city
auditor. The auditor. as he reads the
bills, is greatly enlightened as to the
diet of the poor. There are frequently
raisins, citron and things that are not
usually supposed necessary to support
life. but one poor woman broke the rec
ord when in the bill for one week S
supplies it was found that 26 pies had
been purchased. That, at 10 cents pie,
exhausted $3.50 of the citys money and
there remained 40 cents to supply the
family with necessities. Another poor
woman had purchased at the expense
of the city a pair of corsets.
II don't know that I believe in dress
reform for women commented the
auditor as he read that item, but it
seems to me that this creates a prece-
dent that may make it rather hard on
the CITY," However, being a man, the
auditor could hardly be expected to
know what are the necessities of life
for a woman.

Did you hear anything about the
placers in Lower California;"
Yes. During the time I was stay
ing at that paradise regained-Coro-
nado Beach, went down to Ensenada.
Mexico, which is the capital city of the
peninsula of Lower California, and
there l heard great many stories of
the new placers, which are located
about $50 miles south of Ensenada and
almost just across the peninsula from
the great Boles copper mines. At the
time l was in Ensenada about 400
miners had left the Boles mines for the
new placers, and the interest in the
discoveries was getting pretty hot.
Since then both of the steamers Of the
Lower California Development company
have sailed from San Diego with all
the passengers that they could carry,
and the overflow has chartered sailing
vessels to take them to the Southern
Klondike, as they term it down there.
THE drawback in working the
placers is lack of water, but as that
can be obtained in the mountains, about
Is miles off, and piped onto the placers
the difficulty will be overcome when
capital gets in there. OF course, the
usual fforid stories were told one man
swearing solemnly by the beard of the
prophet that you can find plenty ground
that will pan $40 to the yard, etc But,
while the cheerful liar was undoubted-
ly in evidence and ready to speak his
piece, there seems no reason to doubt
that the San Rogue placers are very

brought forward a star who promises to
shine with unusual brilliance in the dra-
matte armament. Few actors have
achieved so much: fewer still who could
evolve more, and it is record on which
he can reflect with justifiable pride.
Managers wagenhals & Kemper have
engaged Charles B. Hanford. the we'll
known Shakespearian actor, for the COM
ing season as co-star with Louis James
and Miss Kathryn Kidder. The engage
ment of Mr.. Hanford will add material
strength to the combination. His long as
sociation with Booth and Barrett, as CO.
star with Thomas w. Kenne, and as prin-
cipal in the late Hanford-T Tyler -MacLean
combination has served to place him in
the foremost ranks of American trage-
dians. Mr.. Hanford has youth, training
and experience, and his association with
Mr.. James and Miss kidder, supported by
the Wagenhals & Kemper company, will
make combination of rare strength and
magnitude. Mr.. Hanford viii be seen in
such parts as Captain Absolute in 'The
Rivals" the king in Henry W." Napo-
