4 STRANGE PROCEEDING.

Perhaps the strangest thing which
ever occurred connected with the adj
n~inistration of justice in Fergus
county, or In the state OF Montana,
occurred last night when Sheriff Shaw
took to Gilt Edge Patrick Dwyer,
charged with murder in the first de.
gree, convicted Of manslaughter and
sentenced To two years and six
months in tho state penitentiary.
BY what right Of law or Justice, or
on what plea this was done the sher-
III has not explained, and he having
left early this morningfor Deer Lodge
with Dryer and other prisoners we
are unable to ascertain, but we IN
oerstand it was because Mrs. Dryer
was unable to come To Lewistown
10 bid her husband farewell.
Nehave passed overindiscretiops OF
ShcrrHs Shaw committed prior to this
act, moi yIshing to seem to criticise

purpose Of affording opportunity foI

and unjustifable. citizens Of thi
