New York. Jan. 5.-After opening
steady at an advance of to 4 points.
which proved to be the highest level
of the session, the cotton market be-
came quiet and remained SO. while
maintaining a generally firm undertone.
Trading was, for the most part, local.
Shorts covered carly. following Eng
lish cables, which were as good as gem
orally expected, and indications of con-
tinued activity in spot cotton at Liver
pool, to-day's sales reaching 1900
bales, including 10000 bales American.
while the future list at Liverpool net
ten 1-64d. advance. At the same time
exports were seen to be running to
heavy figures. as compared with re-
ceipts. The recent ratio has been almost
double that of receipts. There was
some investment demand, but not
enough of it to prevent prices from
easing off points Under SELL
ing movement for the most part in the
nature of realizing on long contracts
At no time however, could the market
be called weak. The market was finally
steady at a net advance of points.

'Prisoner of SPAIN Will BE Given in
Saturday Afternoon Matinee.

"Prisoner of SPAIN viii BE Given in d
Saturday Afternoon Matinee.
A Cuban war play founded upon our
late war with Spain should be an at
traction above all others to win the
hearts of our citizens. The Prisoner
of SPAIN is said to contain some we'll
known actors. The unfailing success
of this play is in part owing to the
splendid and picturesque scenery with
which the piece is dressed-the stage
settings are accurate in detail as they
are beautiful in effect. The comedy is
f~rst-class and the dramatic element is
singularly fascinating possessing as it
does a stirring and romantic martial
spirit tempered with the qualities of a
refined and high class drama. The
play is in every way deserving of the
remarkable success which has attended
it. To be at the opera house Saturday
afternoon matinee. Popular prices.

Will have new TRIALS
Supreme Court Grants. New Trials
to Spotted Hawk, Geddes
and Thomas Welch.
GIsT OF OPINIONS
Rendered by the COurt-The Cases
too Well Known to Be Ex-
planned in Full.

The supreme court rendered three
opinions yesterday which are OF great
interest to the people of this part Of the
state. They were as follows:
The state Of Montana VS.. Yellow
Hair. Feeding Grow, Spotted Hawk. ct
al. Spotted Hawk appellant:
Spotted Hawk was convicted of muir
der in the first degree before Judge
Loud Of the district court Of Custer
county for the alleged murder of a
sheep herder named John Hoover and
sentenced to be hanged. He appealed.
The errors assigned are numerous
and Chief Justice Brantly treats about
a dozen in an opinion covering forty
pages of typewriter matter and holds
among other things that defendants
motion for a change Of mi should
have been granted. The case is re-
versed and a new trial granted.
The state of Montana VS.. George S.
Geddes.
Geddes a prominent rancher near
Miles City was found guilty in the dis
trict court of Custer county of murder
in the second degree for the killing of
one Winnie Brown and sentenced to
the penitentiary for SO years. At the
time of the killing he was in Chicago.
A negro named Dixon confessed to the
murder but implicated Geddes as hav-
ing advised him to do it. Geddes ap-
pealed.
The supreme court in a very long
opinion by Justice Hunt reverses the
case holding that the measure Of proof
is insufficient under the statute. There
is not enough to sustain a reasonable
inference that Geddes was implicated
wherefore the conviction is against the
law and this court must set aside the
Judgment and award the defendant a
new trial and it will be so ordered.
Numerous errors assigned are treated
in the opinion.
The state of Montana VS.. Thomas
WEIGH.
This is a companion case to the n
above. WEIGH was also convicted Of
completely in the murder Of n Brown
although it was clearly proven that he
was some twenty miles away at the
time Of the murder. Dixon's testimony
implicated him. Justice Pigott re-
verses this case holding that there vas
no proof at all upon which to base a
conviction and that it appeared clearly
from the record that the verdict was
the result of prejudice and passion.
The conduct Of the county attorney
during the trial receives notice of the
court in an uncomplimentary manner.
The case is reversed and a new trial
granted.
