OF the defendant company.
RelativestO the visit of Tibbett to his
office, Mr.. Weed says he called merely as
a solicitor of life insurance, but never at
any time attempted to influence him in
relation to h trial or talked with him
relative to that matter. He makes the
same denial as to the allegations in re-
lation to E.. c. Perrett.
On March l, 1900, Mr.. Weed says he dis
charged Wheeler because of his general
worthlessness dissoluteness, idleness and
i~nattentlon to business. He believes
wheeler has departed from the state
without any intention Of ever return
ing.
Inc arguments in the motion for a new
trial in the Michael Dewitt case were
made today, H. G.. McIntire, opening for
the plaintiff, and the Montana Ore Pur-
CHASING company being represented by
attorneys w. E. Cullen and Joh w. Cot
ter. Mr.. Mclntire stated to- the court
that he desired to present the testimony
as run as possible to the court. He was
SATISFIED that there had been gross mis-
conduct on the part of the jury and that
improper influences had been used. He
cited several of tue atfidavits filed in the
case, showing disqualification of certain
Jurors. The improperly of the Jurors
p drinks or cigars was also
argued at length, MI. McIntire citing
numerous decisions to show where new
trials In cases had been granted for such
matters. n entertainment of Jurors
ever after The verdict of the Jury was
rendered was also shown to Be miscon-
duct on the part of the jury.
IN the case of Juror Emory. it was
CANNED by the plaintiff that he was dis
Quallf1ed, as his name was not or the
assessment roll of Lewis and Clarke
county. Emory made an affidavit that
ne was the owner of two lots in Helena
upon Which he paid taxes. but while be-
ing as a juror he said that his
name did not appear on the assessment
Toll S~tenographer McDougalrs notes at
the examination, Mr.. McIntire said
snowed a wide discrepancy between his
affidavit and the statements made nv
Emory at the time.
The name of w. A. Passavant also an
peared ON the assessment roll. but IT was
nol the juror of that name. Mr.. McIn-
tire read several dispositions from Hell
n residents.
Ex-County Assessor Spratt's deposition
vas hat Passavant, the Juror. had NOT
even paid poll tax until he was sum-
moned as a juror. According to the
deposition of Mr.. Huffinger of the asses
sofs oHlce, Passavant called at the Office
n said he wanted to pay his poll tax,
as he desired to serve on the Jury.
Mr.. Mclntire pointed at the eagerness
or Passavant to serve on the Jury as A
very suspicious thing in itself, especially
as ne knew ne was not qualified to serve.

MRS. SANDOW FILES
SUIT FOR DIVORCE.

L. Gertrude Sandow began an action
for divorce against Bruno F.. Sandow in
the district court today. In her COM
plant Mrs. Sandow alleges that the de-
PENDANT and herself were united in mar
riage at Helena on the oath of October
1898; that since February %, 1899, the de-
fendant has been guilty of the wilful me-
glect, not even providing her with the
common n~ecessaries of life although hav-
ing the ability IN mean to do so: that
ever since the date mentioned she has
been supporting herself: that her name
before her marriage with the defendant
was L. Gertrude Lippincott. which name
she prefers to that of Sandow and re-
quests that the court restore it to her
along with a decree of legal separation
from the defendant.

unfortunate of late. The father died
about a year ago, a brother of Mrs. Ed
wards died in Ireland two weeks ago, and
William II. Edwards. an uncle of the
young man who was injured this morn
ing. died in Centerville yesterday and was
buried this afternoon.
Among the first to reach Edwards af-

runaway horse had escaped. BENEFITS

man named Hoskins. by whom he was
employed. Hoskins is removing some
frame buildings from Hamilton street al

Several times this Afternoon it was re-

The glove contest between Billy Dacey
of Philadelphia and Chester Levere Of
this city before the Butte Athletic as
ISOLATION was a disappointment. At the
end of the first round the Philadelphian,
who had stopped half a dozen of Levere's
hard blows, was practically out, and the
sport was over. He lasted two more
rounds and was making such a pitiable
exhibition that the referee stopped the
light and gave Levere the decision.
The result was very much of a disap-
pointment to the officers of the club, as
Dacey has a good record and was sup
posed to be a fast man. He was under
the influence of liquor when he entered
the ring, but his condition was not appar-
ent until after the first round. Levera's
friends. too, were disappointed, as he vas
in excellent condition and would have put
up a splendid battle had he had an adj
versary worthy of him.

CALDER WAS HANGED
AT LEWISTON TODAY

Special to the Inter Mountain. r
Great Falls, Mont, March 16.-Wil-
liam Wallace Calde was hanged his
morning at Lewistown for one of the
most cold FLOODED murders ever commits
ted in the state. The hour of execu-
tlon was fixed at $3.50 a.. M, but as the
condemned man wanted to write a fare-
well letter 1t was II o'clock before the
trap was sprung. The wonderful nerve
which Calder has exhibited did not de-
sert him and he walked unsupported to
the scaffold as gamely as he had walked
to the court room. It was expected
that when taken to the scaffold he would
make a confession, but this he refused
to do. j.
In the last day or two of his life a
great change had taken place in the
whole demeanor of Calder n he alb.
stained from abusing the officers and
papers. Rev. Pfaus had been with him
several times since the last sentence
was pronounced, but he refused any spir-
itual consolation and declared his belief
in the existence of a God and avoided
any discussion of the possibility of the
future existence.
His father and mother visited him for
the last line about $3.50 a. M. The fare
we'll to his mother was very affecting.
n heart broken mother was assisted
by the Rev. Pfaust as she left the cell.
His last words to her We're:
Il forgive you for all you ever did.
Goodbye"
Father Lamote, a Catholic priest, CALL
ed upon him just before he went to the
scaffold but he refused to confess.
When Sheriff Shaw began reading the
warrant Calder asked him to hurry up.
thai II it was long he might get nervous.
as it was finished he was led out
to the gallows and took his place under
the loop. AS he did so he remarked.
THE sun is shining in my eye"
Looking around on those present, he
