pony, rode off as hard as he could to
the Martin ranch. where he abandoned
MS horse, after hanging his saddle and
Birdie up in a cabin on the place. Still
carrying his rife, he then sent out for
Mltchell's place. which he reached after
1t had become daylight There he
threw the gun into the creek and then
started for William Johns place, where
he ate breakfast and cashed the check,
to which he had signed the name of j.
s. Reynolds. He had said that Rey-
nolds had given him the check when
they left Martins place, and denied that
he had taken it from the body of the
dead man.
As to the bloody bag of flour, Allen
declared it had been lying down hill
from Reynolds, and the blood had
trickled down to it.
On cross-examination the witness was
asked why he incased the head of his
victim in a sack.
When l rolled him over on the blan-
kets," he replied II heard some bones
crushing in his head and it scared me
and then I put the sack on to stop the
noise'
Now, why did you not give yourself
up?" asked the county attorney.
Il was afraid that my story would
not be believed"
Why did you think that you would
zone thing was that am not a white
man and l was afraid they wouldn't
take my word"
why didn't you go to Mrs. Kelfer's
place and give yourself up?"
Il was afraid to 60
why did you conceal the body and
then skip out to Oregon?'
Il didn't know what else to do
What were you afraid of?'
well, I was afraid of the court"
'Why did you go to Oregon?"
II was born and raised there. The
people I worked for there knew me
since I was little boy"
Saturday, November ~, the case went
to the jury, which eight hours later
brought in verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree. The first ballot
stood 10 for this verdict and two for
not guilty.
November is Allen was sentenced to
hang January II Of this year. As he
left the court room his sole remark
was: Il suppose that now the camera
fiends will be after me-"
motion for new trial was made
and was denied November 10. From
this denial an appeal to the supreme
court was taken. July of this year
the supreme court affirmed the order
denying the new trial.
Efforts were then made to have the
prisonment. Governor Smith refused to
do this, saying: "A close and careful
study of the case convinces me that the
jury were certainly justified in finding
the verdict they rendered and the court
has pronounced the law of the case.
Being thus constrained rather against
my inclination to consent that the ver-
dict and sentence are justified by the
facts, discharge of my public trust
impels me to refuse to interfere with
the sentence of the court, although I'M
portuned to do so by many good Chris
tan people, whom I respect most sin
cerely for their sympathetic interest in
this unfortunate young man."
The decision was communicated to
him by Standard reporter, who asked:
Have you anything to say?'
mo: I don't know what l can say"
replied Allen in good English. When
they lock fellow in here and throw
the keys away and decide to break mis-
neck, l don't see what show he has
got"
July 10 Judge Smith re-sentenced AL
len to hang Thursday, September IA.

ington Post, Mr.. Carter said: This Is
a practical age We are going to deal
with this question on the basis of dol
lars and cents. If the American people
believe that the Philippines are going
to help US they will never let the ISL
ands go. If, on the other hand, they
find that the Philippines are constant
drain and small return, you will find
the verdict of the people to be against
permanent retention. Neither religion
or sentiment will have much influence
in determining the verdict. The great
question will be, Will it pay? If We
can show the country that it will, and
never come down from the Philippines"
Surely, this talk is as purely CONNER
cial as the words of Sir Alfred Miner:
yet the administration organs are not
protesting against the dollars and
cents in which Mr.. Carter measures the
mission of the American flag.
The people of the United States
ought to be free to condemn England's
scheme. But criticism comes with i'll
grace from those who have been egsing
the government of Washington on to do
the very thing which the English pro-
pose to do. England's intentions to-
ward the Beers are quite as honorable
as ours are in respect to the Filipinos-
every bit. Both governments are VIC
lating traditions which England never
had any use for but which in our
country, till a twelvemonth ago, COM
manded universal assent.

Montana's Welcome.

w talked about how the thing
ought to be done, Butte
stepped to the front, as Butte always
does, to make practical the plans for
the reception of Montana's returning
soldiers. In this matter Butte will not
fail to do the right thing; Butte never
fails in meeting with good spirit and
generous purse all demands of this
kind Butte always carries the heavy
end of the load when it is a question
of the discharge of an obligation in the
name of the state
In a hearty way the citizens of Butte
have taken hold of the work of giving
formal welcome to the members of the
returning First Montana regiment. An
organization of citizens has been made;
it's members are giving prompt atten-
ton to the details of preparation.
Other cities in the state will honor the
occasion in worthy way when the
companies they sent to the war arrive
home but the Butte reception takes
account of every man in the Montana
regiment, and it will be given in the
name of the state. 1t will be great
day, impressive beyond any former
demonstration in the history of the
state; Montana will not soon see the
| like of it.
| This morning the Standard prints the
announcement issued by the members
of the committee of arrangements in
| Butte. This is printed in the hope that
| its suggestions will be needed and that
the requests made by the committee
will find ready response. 1t has taxed
| the ability of some of the largest cities
in the United States to do that which
the people of Butte have undertaken
to do. OF course, Butte will do it WE'LL
| but the cities and communities of the
state can comfortably assume a part
of the burden-the Standards belief is
that they will be found ready and will
! ing to do it.
| BY the closest calculations that can
be made, the volunteers will arrive at
San Francisco about September 20.
They must go through the mastering
| out process in that city. That is apt
to be a tedious routine; probably the
| day of the arrival in Butte will fall
| within the first week of October. 1t
will not, in any event be a far-distant
day, so that there is need for prompt
response to the several requests made
in the statement issued by the COM
mittee that has the general arrange
ments in charge.
Special appeal seems not to be called
| for-the case is presented in the para
graph in which this mornings an
nouncement says: THE magnificent
| record made by our boys In the Philip
pines has excited the pride and admira-
ton, not only of the citizens of our
own state, but of the nation as well.
Their courage and daring and. discipline
have won for them golden opinions
glorious achievements have shed a
luster upon our commonwealth which
| time cannot efface. Every state in the
| Union has taken especial pride and
| pleasure in according a magnificent
welcome to its volunteers and in max
ing their home coming notable event,

About shoes.

One would hardly believe there are
special times and seasons for trying on
new shoes, but so it is. Larger shoes
are required in summer than in WIN
ter, and it is always best to try them
on in the latter part of the day. The
feet are then at the maximum size.
Activity naturally enlarges them ard
makes them swell; much standing
tends to enlarge the feet. New shoes
should be tried on over moderately
thick stockings; then you can put on
a thinner pair to ease your feet if the
shoes seem to be tight.

Europe has been profoundly impress.

three-quarters of mile long. by far

The train was run from Altoona to
Columbia, over the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Its total length was exactly
1877 feet, it's weight behind the ten
der was 5,212 tons. or, including tender
and engine, $3.50 tons. There were
100 open coal cars. They weighed
1919 tons, the coal weighing 1858 tons.
AS delivered to householders in New
York and Brooklyn it would be worth
1854. The engine itself weighed on
ly 118 tons. Besides it's tender, it
pulled more than forty-two times its
own weight. One engineer and one
fireman were thus enabled to do stu
pendous task But few trainmen were
necessary, owing to the use of air
brakes. Such heavy train would not
be profitable for short hauls or for
runs involving many stops. as the cost
in time and coal Of starting and stop
