NO DANCER OF LYNcHIKC.

The Helena Herald is in error in maxi
ing the statement that Gilman was
''hustled to the depot after his acquittal
of the murder of Sullivan in order Ito
prevent a lynching."
Despite rumors to the contrary. now
United States, Montana is essentially a
law abiding community.
This is as true of Butte as it is of Hell
ena.
town that at times even the air is so
su~percharged with corruption that an
honest and s~elf-respecting democrat
finds it necessary to carve his way out
with a knife. While Butte has been drift
ing along comfortably with nothing
worse on it's hands than smelter smoke
and a newspaper fight.
1t is only fair to say. however, that
! neither Butte nor Helena would go to
the extreme of lynching all the men who
may perhaps deserve hanging.
No such reign of terror would be pos
sible in either of these municipal models.
1t is manifestly unfair and ungener-
Gus. therefore, for the Herald to state
that Gilman escaped 1ynching only by
making haste to reach the depot after
his acquittal.
Had he remained in Butte it is not at
all improbable that he would have been
H.. -o~.o ~olot;ryo re tha
deceased Sullivan. as enterprises of that
character We're undertaken during the
trial; but after the verdict was render
ed it was accepted in the proper spirit
by the public, just as similar verdicts
have been in the past and will be in the
future.
The Butte public is conservative, and
is willing to delegate the disposition of
criminal matters to the court, abiding
the verdict as the only practical way of
reaching a fair conclusion.
1t does not necessarily follow that pub
lie sentiment is in favor of promptly
life against the assaults of overwhelming
insulting ruffians who parade their
~avoirdupois as a menace to decency, ant.
! who constantly ornament their should
ers with a chip, inviting the fate thai
may sooner or later overtake them.
There are two sides usually to any
kind of a quarrel. and if the courts can
not determine where the fault lies, an6
render a verdict accordingly, our civil
cation is a farce.
Opinions may differ as to the justice
of a verdict in a criminal case, as the,
! do respecting civil actions, but the cour
affords the best remedy known to gu
: system of civilization, and it's conclu
sions are usually accepted in this com
5 munity as being about as near the cor
: rect thing as human efforts can get.
:, If Justice is perverted, it does not II
a within the purview of the citizen to as
sumo the personal responsibility for it
correction, except through the employ
ment of legal means.
The Herald was woefully misinforme
when it was lead to believe thar tn
lynching of Gilman was contemplated l
this community, or that any danger Q
: such an infraction of the law existed.

At REST
Mrs. C. E. GIlneS Passes Away at Her
Home After Two Months Sickness.

To the public it is with extreme re-
gret and sadness that the Leader is
compelled to announce the death of
Mrs. G. p. Glines, which occurred at
midnight.
For more than eight weeks Mrs,
Glines has been suffering from a. COM
plication of diseases, which on account
of their malignant nature and the ex-
haustion of her physical condition,
were entirely incurable. At times it
seemed that the road to recovery had
almost been traversed. Death came
at midnight and removed from our
midst lady than whom not one in
Marietta was better known or more
thoroughly respected
Mrs. G. e. Glines. nee Vesta West
gate, was 67 years, / month and 27
days old. She was born in Marietta
but short distance from the place
where her life ended. The surviving
relatives are the husband. c. E. Glines,
a son, Harry r., and a daughter, Mrs
C X. Fankhauser, who lives at North
ampton, Mass. but who came to the
city five weeks ago on account of the
serious illness of her mother. The
other connections of Mrs. Glines in the
city are Howard Stanley, son-in-law
and a brother, w. 7. Westgate.
The funeral will occur at 2 O'Clock
standard time Sunday from the
house on South Fourth street.
Mrs. Glines was for many years an
earnest and consecrated member of
the First Congregational church, and
served for long period as primary
teacher in the Sunday School. She
was a member of the order of Eastern
Star and Associated Charities. Many
a household in which poverty caused
the inhabitant to suffer from hunger
and cold can bear witness to Mrs.
Glines' ready and unobtrusive charity.
Her ministrations to the poor were ex-
tensive and generous, and by many a
destitute family will her help be
missed.
In the death of Mrs. Glines the COM
munity has lost noble Christian
woman, benefactress to the destitute
and fayorite in social circles at large.
The Leader would voice only the sent
iment of Marietta's people in extend.
ing 10 the bereayed family the most
sincere sympathy in these hours of
trial and sorrow.

farm houses are left uncared for. some
tokens may usually be discovered,
showing that the farm is not entirely

a little hay here and there. and takes it

Mr.. Gallup had finished his supper,

crack but he never looked up from his
paper.
