Many prominent people yeseeAu"S
signed the petition circulated about
the city praying Governor Smith to IN
vestigate the case of Joseph c. hurst,
the man convicted of murder n under
sentence of death at Glendive. The Pc
tition was circulated from h Anacon-
da Inter Mountain office, although the
democratic morning papers did not give
the Inter Mountain credit for having
ANYTHING to do with it. This is the Pc
tition mentioned in yesterdays evening
paper, as being sent down by County
Attorney c. P. Connolly, of Butte. 1t
was circulated during the afternoon and
m willingly signed by every one 1t
was presented to. except seven persons,
and they were of the opinion the death
penalty should be carried out without
any further interference by h gov
ernor. 1t was also signed by the men In
the business office and the reportorial
staff of the great morning daily. who
failed in their write up to give the In
