DATE OF SENTENCE FIXED
Lacey on Trial Today--Judge
Leslie Organizes His
Jury.
DATE OF SENTENCE FIXED

John }. Mason, who was convicted last
week OF having been one of the men that
held up the Reception road house on the
night of July 8, 1898. was in department
NO. l OF the district court this morning
10 near the judge fix a date for passing
sentence upon him. James Lacey, his al
legged partner in crime, was also there.
While waiting for the judge to dispose
of the matter the two prisoners sat to-
gether near the railing and conversed in
a very pleasant manner Outward APP
pearances did not indicate that Mason
expected to spend the next few years of
his life at Deer Lodge. He smiled, en-
phaslzed his remarks by the liberal use
of his hands and rolled his eyes like
Romeo of old when flirting with Juliet.
The conversation lasted until the Judge
announced that he would sentence Mason
next Saturday..
Lacey was in court to be tried, In the
early stages of the proceedings he ex-
hibited no noticeable signs of uneasiness,
but as he case progressed he seemed to
become interested to the extent of listen
ing to the proceedings. Among those who
came in contact with the robbers on the
nlgnt or the rad he is known as the 'One
with the fish eyes" The general express
sion of Lacey's face is not so tough as
that of Mason-the latter has a ruddy,
~self-confident look, while Lacey has a
pale, cool, smooth expression. He was
represented by Attorney Taylor; the
state by the county attorney. All of the
jurors who served IN the Mason Jury
were excused from the Lacey trial. Near
ly an hour and a half was consumed in
getting twelve men to decide the prison
er's fate, their names being as follows:
Dennis M. Smith, John F.. Foley, H. M.
Edwards, Arthur Mcfarland. A. j.
Wicks, William Hill, w. 0. Roberts, w.
lR. Rocheleau, William Burch, w. K.
Packer, William T.. Tonkin and M. Jen-
nings.
The testimony was about exactly the
same as that adduced at the trial of
Mason, but in view of the fact that
Mason exhibited a crippled finger while
performing the job the testimony against
him was much, stronger. When Charles
Warren, one of the men held up, testified
that he was afraid of being hurt if he did
not comply with the command of the
robbers, Lacey smiled. Warren thought
Lacey was the man that held a gun on
him..

Speculation With Reference TO
Extension of The Line.

Railroad Gossip.
MUST COME TO BUTTE CITY

There has been much gossip of late with
reference to Burlington extension. The
people of Butte naturally expect to be on
the Burlington map when this long an
ticipated extension takes place. The line
is surveyed to Great Falls and thence
westward down the Big Blackfoot river
to M%issoula. The survey is cross-section-
ed ready to let contracts further west
thar Great Falls, but the knowing ones
are now discussing a route toward Butte
and Anaconda and thence westward to-
ward Portland, Oregon and Astoria at the
mouth of the Columbia river on the Pa
cific ocean. OF course there is some OF
this hat is unquestionably mere gossip
but past and present events prove be-
yond a reasonable doubt that the Bur-
lington will soon build further west ana
that Butte and Anaconda will not be
passed if a desirable route can be found.
The greatest mineral belt in Montana
is in Silver Bow county, Deer Lodge
county. west of Anaconda, n GRANITE
county at ~Philipsburg and Granite. "A
direct line will reach all three places ana
a few miles further west that great Gar
den of Eden of Montana, the Bitter Root
Valley, where the vastness of its produc-
tiveress can be surpassed only at
Walla Walla, which is also said to be on
the line of the Burlington. From points
in the southeastern part of the state OF
Washington branch roads would be easily
constructed into the interior of that state
tapping the wheat belts and mineral dls-
tricts of Washington, Idaho, and British
Columbia.

That the Oregon Short Line will be soon
