Ed MARSHAL
IS ACQUITTED
JURY RETURNED A VERDICT OF
NOT GUILTY AT $50 THIS
AFTERNOON.
HE WILL NOW BE TRIED
ON BURGLARY CHARGE
Was Caught in Act of Robbing a Saloon
Shortly After Shooting
Mrs. Creech.

Edgar Marshall was certainly born
under a lucky star, for at 1926 o'clock
this afternoon the jury, which at 6
O'Clock last evening adjourned from
Judge Clancy's court to a room in the
rear of the building to decide whether he
had shot and killed Mrs. Georgia Creech
in this city on the morning of April 3,
returned a verdict of not guilty.
When the verdict was read c. F. Kelly
asked that the jury be polled and it
was done, each of the twelve men an
swering in the affirmative. Mr.. Wines,
the defendants attorney, then requested
THAT the prisoner be discharged. but Mr..
Kelly objected, saying he had another
charge against Marshall, that of burg
larry, and he could probably convict him
of it. The judge therefore remanded
Marshall to the custody of the sheriff
and bailiff. They escorted him back to
the iail. On the way he asked the
prisoner what kline of a verdict he had
expected and Marshall replied that he
had not made up his mind what it would
be.
The burglary with which Marshall is
charged was committed a few minutes
after he shot Mrs. Creech, and as he was
caught in the very act he will probably
be sent to Deer Lodge for a few years at
least. The place he is said to have
robbed is Charles Gibbs saloon, at 345
South Main street. 1t is also alleged
that he robbed Krill's saloon, farther
south, in the same street, but there is no
good proof against him on this PROPOSE
ton.

STEWART is coRRoBoRATED.
DAVID UPTON SENT HIM TO LAR
GEY ON sPECULATOR DEAL
Largely Wanted the Lease for Himself
Mr.. Mantle Gives History Of
the Contested Interest.

David N. Upton was called IS a wit
ness In rebuttal for the plaintiff in the
trial of the Mantle-Largey Spectator
suit yesterday afternoon. He sail that
ne had lived in this district "a years and
was we'll acquainted with Largely while
the latter was alive. AS to the testi-
mony given by Charles Stewart to the
erect that he, Upton, had sent Stewart
to Largely to have himself employed in
securing a lease and mi on the Spec
ulator for Largely, Mr.. Upton said 1T was
true; that he had sent Stewart to Lar
gey and was present during a portion Of
the conversation which took place be-
tween them, but he had not remained
long enough to hear the conclusion at
which they arrived. Largey, he said, had
spoken to him, witness, about getting
a lease and bond on the Spectator and
requested him to find a responsible man
ito take charge of the property; that lie
wanted the lease and bond for himself.
Cross-eXamined, Mr.. Upton said that
the reason he had Joined in with Largely
to sell the property for $24,OO0 was be-
cause he was in the play with Largely
and his interest was to be carried by Mr..
Largely without expense to himself. My
interest was afterwards turned over to
Largey," said he, sin payment of a bill
of $2,5 500 that he asked me to settle, but
which I did not consider a just bill"
Mr.. Ma ntle was the next witness, but
an objection to his testimony was made
and the argument that followed lasted
until nearly noon today. Then the court
overruled 1T.
Mr.. Mantle then began his testimony.
He said he had become interested in the
Speculation claim in 1884. He knew of the
deed from John M. Collins to Mr.. Lar
gey, which was executed in 1884. Mr..
Largely, he said, had paid the taxes on
the Spectator because the property, in
common With other interests to which
18th were parties, was in his name. The
arrangement between them wa sthat Mr..
Largely should pay the taxes and 1t had
existed from the time the purchase OF
tn property was made. He said he knew
Charles Stewart, who testified yesterday,
and had among his papers an affidavit,
made by Stewart to him about the man
ner in which Mr.. Largey had secured the
lease and bond on the Spectator. 1t was
in 1897. but the exact date he had forgot
ten. 1t was shortly prior to the time the
| case was to come to trial. Stewart was
| then a resident of Madison county. Rel
! ative to the transfer Of the property the
witness said the first conversation he
had with Mr.. Largely in regard to the
matter was in August of 1898. and it was
at hat conference that he first learned
the true state of affairs between Mr.
Largely and himself.
Asked if he remembered a converse.
tion he had with Terry Lennon on Octo.

CHARGE MURDER
special to the Inter Mountain,

AAhVA
Billings, July 13.-Either a horrible
murder was committed at Columbus,
Yesterday, or three men lost their lives
Dy in the Yellowstone neal
tnat place. The following telegram was
received by the sheriff yesterday after
noon from County Commissioner La
velle:
Three men who have been prospecting
IN Yellowstone here have m~ysteriously
disappeared, leaving traces of murder;
boat found five miles east; one mans
OUTFIT is gone. Better come"
Shortly after, this message came from
Sheriff Myers:
Suspicion points to Lee Hensley, red
complicated, dark sandy mustache, dark
brown eyes, weight about ITO pounds,
height five foot five. When last seen
wore new pair blue overalls, dark coat,
brown derby hat. 1t is thought that
Martin Allen and A. NJ. Davis are either
murdered Or drowned. Aliens hat hav-
ing been fund"
1t seems that the men had some money
and from appearances where they
camped the suDposition is that one OF
more of the party was murdered. Some
of Aliens and Hensley's clothes stained
with blood have been found in the river
weighted down with rocks, the pump
and sluice boxes were also found in the
river, evidently placed there to make
people think they had gone elsewhere to
prospect. Sheriff Hubbard and others are
dragging the river in the hopes of find
ing the bodies. 1t will be remembered
that Joseph Bogner was foully murdered
at that place last winter by having a
pick axe driven into his head.

BOXER NEWS

Official Confirmation of Massacre Must

London, July 13.-Though there does
not appear to be at this hour any justi-
ficaiton for the statement that official
confirmation has been received here of
the massacre of the international colony
at Pekin, it is hardly doubted that such
confirmation will be the outcome of the
present suspense. The report sent out

Great Western railway shops. Before the
