He Receives 20 Years in the Peni-
tertiary at Hard Labor.
EXTREME LIMIT OF THE LAW
me Crime for Which He Receives This
Long Banishment Was the Brutal
Assault and Robbery of John
Paul, a Rancher, Who
Befriended Him.

Fred B. Wyman alias Frank Whitney,
who so brutally assaulted and robbed
John Paul at his ranch near New Chi
cago last December, was sentenced by
Judge Yelling Napton last week to
twenty years Imprisonment at hard
labor. The robbery and brutal assault
of Mr.. Paul and the capture of the
hardened criminal is still fresh in the
minds of the citizens of Granite county.
About the middle Of last December John
Paul, well-known rancher residing
near New Chicago, came to Philipsburg
with a load of hogs. He remained in
the city for several days After dis
posing of the hogs he left for his home.
Monroe Hanna, a neighbor of Mr.. Paul,
who had also been to town, departed for
his home the same afternoon on horse
back. Several miles down the valley he
overlook Mr.. Paul and accepted an in
vitation to get in and ride with him,
leading his saddle horse behind the
wagon. Some distance farther down
these gentlemen overlook man on foot
and extended him an invitation to ride.
Later on Mr.. Hanna left Mr.. Paul and
the stranger, and mounting his horse
started for home. The next morning
Mr.. Paul came to MI. Hanna's house
frlghtfully beaten and hardly able to
relate what had happened to him He
said the stranger had remained all
night. After breakfast the next morn
ing he demanded Mr. Paul's money and
upon refusal beat the old man nearly to
death and then robbed him. He left his
victim for dead and took to the hills
with his booty. Mr. Hanna hurriedly
saddled his horse and enlisted the ser
vices of j. f. Clawson, another neigh
Dor, and together the two took after the
robber and ran him down at Garrison.
Deputy Sheriff f. D. Morse brought him
to Drummond, where he was turned
over to Sheriff George Metcalf and
lodged in the county Jail here where
hS save udluC lduh w llGuty.
A charge of robbery was preferred
against him by County Attorney Josiah
Shull and his case was to have been
tried last Friday. When he was ar
raigned before Judge Napton he stated
that his true name IS Fred B. Wyman.
He evidently had no desire to place him
self in the hands of Granite county
jury and when the time for his trial ar
rived he informed County ATTORNEY
Shull that he wanted to plead guilty to
the crime charged The penalty is from
one to twenty years, and in pronounc-
ing judgment the court informed him
that inasmuch as he not only robbed
but also brutally assaulted the COM
planning witness, who had befriended
nim, he deserved the extreme penalty
of the law, and it was the Judgment of
he court that he be confined in the
state prison for period of twenty years
1t hard labor
The prisoner was taken to Deer Lodge

There Was No Moon in February.

A very rare astronomical feature be-
longs to the month Of February-it had
no new moon. Per contra, January had
two and March will have two This
peculiar incident is due to the fact that
the last year of the century is not reck-
oned as leap year and that even in an
ordinary leap year the moon is new in
February as in other months, except at
longer intervals. A moonless month has
not occurred since February, 1866, and
will not, it is said, occur again for a
vastly greater space of time.

OrChardists Warned.

j. f. Baker, State Commissioner OF
Horticulture, has issued the following
warning:
County horticultural inspectors and
orchardists are particularly cautioned
with regard to the late spring deliveries
of nursery stock, as it is found that the
proportion or infection in such exceeds
that of other deliveries, for the reason
that the demand for choice stock has been
so great that there is far less quantity
of it on the market, and some unscrup-
ulous dealers are inclined to take greater
risks, in the hope that at the last mo-
ment orchardists will be less critical and
that the inspectors will relax in vigil
ance.
''This particularly applies to distant
nurseries, who have no local reputation
to sustain, and are not licensed to do
business in this state, either by them
selves or their agents.
CAS- the state has taken measures to
prevent Illicit traffic in nursery stock, |
would advise all orchardists to ascertain
OF those who solicit their orders whether
they are licensed to do business by the
state, in which case they should be able
to produce the license, or reference may
be made to the lists published in the hor-
ticultural papers, authorized by this Of
fee, of those licensed to do business in
the state.
at is an additional safeguard when
dealers seek to do business in the state
conform to its regulations, show that
they have interests here and reputation
to support.
Section 8 Of the horticultural law
reads SIS follows; Amy person who shall
offer for sale or solicit persons within
this state to purchase from him any fruit
trees, plants, or nursery stock belonging
to any person OF firm not licensed under
/ the provisions OF this act, shall be deemed
guilty OF misdemeanor, and fined in
any sum not exceeding one hundred
/ $1,000 dollars
/ The disorders most complained OF in
the late deliveries are crown gals and
'borers' on apple and peach trees"

country is S6 per day and in the

must be completed during the
month of June. The work in the
supervisors Office will not be fin

Mr.. Mires said that there had
been considerable complaint be-
cause good party men who were APP
plicants for positions as enumer-
ators had failed in some insta ces
to secure recommendations from
him. MY recommendation" he
said, counts for little with the di-
rector. Every applicant must pass
a satisfactory examination, to ascer-
tain if he is fitted to do the work.
II he cannot pass good examina-
ton it does not matter how strong
his pull may be. 1t will not save
him. If | should recommend one
applicant for a place and another
had passed a better examination
the recommendation would cut no
figure. The examinations is not es-
pecially easy. Some applicants
have sent in papers containing
from $50 to 200 errors. | could do
nothing for such applicants. The
law defines my duties very strictly.n 7
Asked about the population of
the state when the 1900 census is
completed, Mr.. Mires said: The
state has grown rapidly in both
population and wealth in the last
ten years. | think there are be-
tween 100000 and 100000 people
in Washington now, and | shall be
surprised is the returns do not show
that the latter figure is nearer the
mark"

ARRANGEMENTS are now being
made for holding the next annual
show of the Whitman county poul-

latter part Of next January. There

in poultry matters it is expected
that this number will be nearly
doubled at the next one.

The following statement is inter
esting reading in connection with
the monthly comparisons being
made by the Colfax Commoner as
to the comparative expenses in the
management of the county offices
under the present, and the last
(populist) administrations. In
connection with the treasursr's of
iice, for the month of March, 1898.
the tax collections, real and per-
sonal, amounted 10 $17,951.62. For
March, 1900, with the same num-
Der of men employed, (5), there
was collected and put through the
books S90,61915, or a difference Of
$12,667 SO, or five times the former
amount. This seems to substan-
uate the statement made by the
present county treasurer to the
commissioners, in asking that the
salaries of his deputies be raised
that the salaries should be increased
10 an amount sufficient to enable
nm to employ the most competent
Office men and to keep them when
they had become expert in the
work Of the office.

THE April crop report of the sta
tistician of the department of agri-
culture will show the average CON
dition of winter wheat on April l to
have Eeen sol against 77.8 on
April /, 1899; S6,7 on April / 1898,
and 10-year average of S2.S.
While the ravages of the Hessian
fly in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana
will probably result in not one of
these three states producing more
than half crop, an exceptionally
high condition is reported from the
winter wheat states west of the
Mississippi river and from the Pa
chic coast. The principal averages
are: Pennsylvania, u; Ohio, A.;
Michigan, 81 Indiana, 81; Illinois,
SO; Missouri, 81; Kansas, 90: Texas

ter rye is 84.S, against 81 8 on April
