Marshal Sam Jackson Killed.

United States Deputy Marshal sam
jackson, well known throughout the
length and breadth of Montana. died at
Helena Friday as a result of a fall "A
few hours before. 1t appears that Mr..
Jackson had gone to the new capitol
building for a little recreation and was
walking about when a board upon
which he stood gave way and precipi-
tated him TO the cellar, fifteen feet be-
low. In falling his leg was broken.
two ribs shattered, a piece of one pene-
trating the lungs, from which he died.
No work is going on at present at the
building and he was not found by the
Waterman until an hour later. Not
withstanding his wounds he was con-
scious and bravely directed his removal
10 the hospital, where he fingered for
three hours. Sam Jackson was form
erly n government scout, later a deputy
sheriff and for three years past has been
chief assistant to United States Marshal
woolman. He was an intrepid officer
and had made a record for himself
throughout the entire northwest. II
was he who followed the Northern Pa

Some two months ago the follows
ing vas clipped from M ri the Hell
ena papers. At the time il was rum
ored that Miss Lindsey was tobc the
Democratic nominee for supcrintcnd-
ent ofschonls, and, rs ii since proved,
we thought the decision of the high
est school officer would later be OF
interest.
Last week the Democrat undertook
to argue the constitntionHlity Of the
law and referred to State Superin-
tendent Carleton as an able lawyer.
As such, they should accept his de-
cision without further quibbllng and
Miss Lindsey should withdraw. The
clipping IL IA follows:
+. A. Carleton, state superintendent
of public instruction, isoithe opinion
that candidates Tor county superin-
tendent of schools must, In order 10
be eligible, hold a professional grade
certificate.
Mr.. Carleton has received numerous
letters from teachers throughout the
state, asking what are the necessary
qualifications To make a person rligi-
BILE to that office, and il the profess
sional first grade certificate isconsid-
cred the highest certificate uiacOunty.
He gave out the following decision
yesterday:
There Is some disagreement az To

required even that this officer hold

this view base their opinion upon sec

 The end of the century corresponds in time with the thirty-fifth anniversa- ry of the organization of the church, and both will be celebrated together on Sunday morning and evening and on Monday evening.
 It is expected that the old mortgage will be raised at this time, as there is nearly enough money in hand already. The interior of the church has been newly decorated in oil; three new windows have been put in place, in addition to the two which were already there. It Is also the fif- teenth anniversary of the ordination of the present pastor over this charge. These circumstances, together with the condition of prosperity give the good reason for making special observance of the season in the manner indicated by the programme which has been printed.

HER CONFESSION NOT DENIED
Continued From First Page l

 is no less than an affair in which a young man named Keeler Is connected
 This clue grew out of the clandestine visits to West Haven made by Mrs. Rathbun last summer. Keeler was em- ployed as clerk at the Sea View hotel until the end of the season, and after that he went to Princeton, where he was an assistant to Trainer Robinson. He was seen in this city but two weeks ago.
 | While he was employed at the shore Mrs. Rathbun used to visit him there | frequently. Keeer, however, is not where he can be conveniently interview ed being at hotel near Jacksonville, Fla.
 Early yesterday morning the coroner was observed to hail in sight of the po- lice building and he was bounced upon by the swarm of reporters that were camping on his trail. From that time until late last evening he was not lost sight of and every move he made was watched with the momentary expecta- tion of his announcing that the guilty party had been found. Disappointment was destined for the scribes, for there
 
 about the building. Mrs Rathbun and Hart were both kept 1t the county jail and Clerk Adams was given explicit in- structions to Jet no one see her and to keep Hart and the woman apart.
 Since 1t now seems established that there was motive and that Mrs. Rath- bun is also under arrest with Hart, it is more than probable that they will be kept at the Jail under the coroners sus- pect warrant until next Wednesday, On that day the criminal side of the superb or court comes in, and then the state attorney will probably arrest one or both of them on bench warrants. This saves the pair going through the city court and at the same time does not disclose any of the evidence of the state before the cases come to trial in the superior court
 State Attorney Williams was at his office almost all day yesterday, and to repeated assaults upon his citadel by the reporters he smiled and gently but firmly turned them down" with the that he didn't have all the facts In his possession. He was also visited by Coroner Mix several times LHe udy, dul DUH uleH WllH Assistant State Attorney Wheeler, were in close consultation for an hour or more at a time.
 The police now think they have two motives for the poison being admins 1 tered by Mrs. Rathbun. One is her love | for the man Keeler, and the other is the | insurance for $1,0O0 with which she was 10 join him in Florida
 The police now believe that Mrs ! Rathbun alone conceived the idea Of | he crimS. Not only did she place the | arsenic, presumably in the form of | Rough on Rate in the coffee, but the ca of Rathbun's and the wine which both Rathbun and Hart would have Trunk were all poisoned. Thus the ought-for end was made certain. This .lso explains the presence of the ar enic in the wine and also why it was hat as the public regarded it. the ln- estigations would have arrived at the theory of accidental pois- ming as soon as this was discovered.
