noon and evening about the result OF

that low order of mentality that will
hardly realize the full extent or enor-
nifty of the crime he has committed,
at the same time being so constituted
that he would be likely to magnify
fancied or real injuries and hold it or
them up against a person. So far he
has made no comment on the verdict
except, in his peculiar style, saying
to the jailer on the way from the court
room: well, Mr.. Mitchell, I tank
perhaps they been goin' to hang me

Entire oceedings-Evidently Does
Not Realzs the AWFUL Fate
That Awaits Him.

morning and few orders were made.
At IL o'clock the time set for passing
sentence on Nels Peterson, convicted
of murder in the first degree for the
killing of Andrew Nelson, Peterson,
who was in court, was directed by
Judge Woody to stand up. The judge
then read the information charging him
with the crime, recited the fact that he
had jury satisfactory to himself, as
was shown by the fact that he did not
exercise one of the challenges allowed
by law; that he had been as we'll de-
Tended as he could have been by any
attorney; that the jury had attentivcly
listened to the arguments of his at
torney and those of the county attor-
ney; had been duly charged, and that
verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree had been brought in. The
punishment fixed by law in the case
of murder in the first degree was death.
The court asked the prisoner if he had
any good and legal reasons why the
sentence of law should not be passed
on his at this time.
Peterson stood still, without uttering
a WORD, with lips closed. The judge
proceeded with the sentence of the
court that he, Nels Peterson be hanged
by the neck until he was dead. Peter
son then sat down and the judge is
sued an order directing the sheriff of
the county to take charge of Nels

until he was dead. said execution to
take place between the hours of 6
o'clock a. m. and 3 o'clock p. m. of the
said Sd day of November
All through the passing of the sem
tence Peterson seemed not to fully re-
alize the awful fate pending over him.
His countenance did not change, Meth
er did he betray emotion or feeling.
He looked and acted a good deal as he
always has looked since his arrest.
This will be the first hanging in Ra-
valli county and, by the way, it was
the first death sentence ever pro-
nounced by Judge Woody.
Court adjourned at noon for the
term, and the judge left for Missoula

A Successful Season,

received in the city from the Cedar
Creek mining district that the owners
of the placer claims in that section of
the county are starting on their clean
up. The season has been very sue
cessful one for the placer claims in
western Montana and the results will
