STRAHCLED ~ the DARK.

Whether guilty or not guilty Of the
crime of murder, the hanging of Joseph
Hurst in the dead hour of the night was
q dastardly outrage. Whether 1t was
done to avoid possible trouble. If the
Of the court was carried out
during the day in accordance with estab-
lished presidents, or was done in the fear
that fresh evidence enroute to the gov
ernor's office might lead to a respite be-
fore the halter could be adjusted to the
condemned mans throat.--it matters not.
If the fear of local interference actuated
the authorities, it is proof only of the
existence of a strong feeling in an
orderly community that a man was
about to be murdered by the sanction of
law, and public sentiment was naturally
wrought up over the event. If this
was not the case. then it follows that the
hanging took place in the night time
through fear that a respite might be
horne in on the wings of the morning,
and an opportunity yet given for new
evidence to prove the possible innocence
of the man. The authorities at Glendive
are welcome to either horn of the dilem-
justification of their unwarranted n
strangulation of Hurst under
cover of the night.
While it is true, the sheriff was requir-
-. xzo,%o laws fO-dav nv mandate
of the law, and to-day" began lmme-
! diately after twelve O'Clock last night,
| there is no justification in decency or
good morals for carrying out the sem
/ tence two hours after midnight. The
authorities at Glendive must have known
that additional evidence in documentary
, form was enroute to the governors or
flee as fast as the mails could carry it.
and that such evidence might have had
the effect to call for a reprieve pendine
| a further investigation into the merits OF
! the case. Why, then, was Hurst hustled
! off, at the unseemly hour of two o'clock.
if not to anticipate a possible reprieve?
Glendive is an orderly and respectable
| community, and few can be persuaded
that public sentiment would have led to
| any interference with the due processes
| of law, had the execution k place in
| the customary way-as an act of the law,
done without shame in the broad
light of the day, instead of being carried
out as if it were the mandate of a mob.
| It would be an insult to the good people
OF Dawson county to argue that the early
execution was ordered in the e that
violence might prevent the state of Mon
tana from carrying out the DEGREES OF
the court. Rather let it be said that
the thirst for the condemned mans life
was too great, on the part of those who
controlled the situation, to admit of any
possibility of delay.
The presumption is hat the state exc
cutes it's laws openly and above board
and is not afraid of Gods sunshine even
when it looks down upon the common
wealth in the act of strangling a human
being. But at Glendive this morning thu
precedent was established of the grea'
and dignifed state of Montana executing
its laws. under cover of darkness, just a!

in the face when it choked the life QUITO

Our advices to-day indicate that Hurst
confessed to the murder of Cavanaugh.
to the Methodist preacher in Glendive,
some DAYS before his execution. Being
dead, Hurst has no opportunity to enter
a formal denial, or to make n %explana-
ton of the circumstances. 1t can be
readily seen hat Hurst is at a great dis
advantage in this matter.

The Standard accuses the Inter Noun

effort to arouse a feeling between the

the Miner.

The Standard mistakes in thinking that
the Inter Mountain looks Upon the Clark
DAILY feud as the only argument for the
republican cause in the city campaign.
Democratic harmony, under the circum-

than the feud.

In tie midst of an almost mex

these things for ourselves aud thus
