HALLE HANNA'S HEARING
The Defendant Dodged Her Scorn-
full Chances.
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY
The Star Witness for the State Could
Not Be Found-The Complaining
Witness Roasted by Both
State and Defense,

| Great Falls, Jan. 27.-Hallie Hanna
had her hearing this afternoon and two
minutes after the attorneys on the 9TH
er side had concluded their opening
speeches, the court room of Justice
Stafford was so crowded that one could
not get within six feet of any door,
Halle was on deck, smiling, self-con-
| tanned and contemptuous. while the
complaining witness, Melvin, sat across
| the table from her and lodged her
scornful glances. The case was called
Tor ~ O'Clock this morning, but it was
| nearly noon before the jury was OBJ
ta1ned Then there was not much tes-
| timony given. Mrs. Gallagher, who
was supposed to be the star witness for
the state, could not be found by the
constable, and after considerable
Wransling, the defense admitted the
truth of all which the state claimed she
would testify. After that there was lit
tie left.
The attorneys for both state and de-
tense seemed to think it an occasion for
roasting the complaining witness and
lntlmatlng that he had made an ass of
hlmseit, and the crowd. which was COM
posed largely of railway men, enioyed
every point scored on the luckless Mel;
vim. He had stated to the officers that
he would get back the clothes which
ne mad given her if he had to tear them
from her back, and that is his only re-
sort now, for the jury was out but
Few minutes before returning an acouit
tai. So clear was the direction whi.h
the case was taking, that Chief Guerin
allowed her to go to her lunch during
the noon 1ntermission without a guard
ana thereafter she was practically oris-
oner on her own recognizance.
AT the conclusion of the trial The
railroad boys had their fun with Mel
win, who, as previously stated is
brakeman on the Montana Central
They followed him in a crowd on the
street and made remarks which did
not tend to increase his composure On
the other hand, Halle, who is said to
nave had some experience on the varie-
ty stage. was approached directly after
her acqulttal by the enterprising nan
aser OF concert hall and propositions
made to her regarding an engagement
with the house. She refused to close
with the scheme at once, but promised
to give her answer tomorrow. That
sounds something like the methods
which she employed with Melvin, hut
she may conclude to play an engage
mene, ana II she does, it is said that
her opening song will be, t"He Certain
~ Was Good to Me-" She will doubt
less prove a drawing card
Some of the letters which she had
written to Melvin were introduced as
testimony and they certainly were hot
to her discredit, but possibly the oppo-
site, although one Of them mixed The
phrases, II love you" and wire me
some money" in a manner that might
be suggestive to an ordinarily cautious
nina. But Melvin was not in eau
tlous mood about that time. Otherwise
the letters were distinct credit to
her.

there is no dispensary in your
town the dispensary law must be
enforced any, way, and violators
of it brought to justice, and pro-
vision will be made to have it
done if your local authorities are
unable to do so. l am satisfied
that with the proper effort on the

the dispensary law can be better
enforced, and with less friction
than by State constables. The
only question is will the city and

Gov. McSweeney recently re-
duced the number of constab bles

emily proved satisfactory, for the
chief executive is looking around
for means to enable the number
of constables to be still further
reduced.
With what end in view he has
written the mayors of towns and
cities asking them to use their ef-
forts to have the local police en-.
force the dispensary law. He has
slso asked each of them to ex-
press candid opinion of his

THE TALE OF A cRoAKER.

A big bull frog sat with n voice full Of
Croaking and croaking one day.
He was bent with his age and was wrinklcd
with wears,
Years he'd been croaking. away.
A blithe meadow lark, singing, happened
Stopped when he heard the bull frogs
..,, monrnfnl song, - .so,, ,.o,
know it is wrong /.
To croak when all Natures so bright and
To croaK when all Natures so gay"
"see the silver tipped ripples down there
In the pool,
The waters inviting, refreshing and cool,
The pond lilies surely are sweet.
The water reflects the round moons cheer
OF sadness or sorrow here's never IL trace,
My mournful green friend, it is quite out
of place
To s sroak when when a glad song the evening
A glad song the evening should greet"
The biz bull frog listened with never a
To silence his sad singing died,
When the lark had ceased speaking: "My
I'm happy when I croak," he replied.
"It's a tendency no healthy frog can resist,
Not one chance to croak In my whole life
I've missed"
''You'd make a remarkably fine populist."
The silver tongued meadow lark eagerly
cried,
The meadow lark eagerly cried.
Now the moral of this is exceedingly plain,
And Il lesson that's worth hearing brings.
That Il mans disposition his own to attain
AS to whether he croaks or he sings.
No matter how bright is the sun or how
blue
The skies, or how fragrant the lowers are
too,
If you croak at the world it will croak
back at you,
And that is the lesson the croakins frog
brings,
And that is the lesson it brings.
