THIN STORY
THE ALLEGED HIGHWAYMAN
PUTS UP A WEAK
DEFENSE.

When the trial Of the case OF the state
against Tony Jantz (who it is alleged. on
the night of December Is, walked into
the butcher shop Of Henry Staebler on
Utah avenue with a mask over his face.
a long macintosh covering his frame
and a gun in his right hand and shot
Mr.. Staebler because he would not throw
up his hands and be robbed) was re-
sumed in Judge Clancy's court this after
noon q few little episodes popped up that
were not down on the programme.
During all Of the morning session N. J.
Savay was the only attorney the defend
and possessed. but in the afternoon NJ.
D. Kelly entered the trial as an assist
ant to Mr.. Savoy and asked that the
case be discontinued. The court, how.
ever refused to shut off the proceedings,
and several witnesses for the defense
were called. Their testimony relate0
solely to the character of the defendant
as they knew it
After the last one had fired and fallen
back Mr.. Kelly SO id he desired to inter-
pose demurrer to the trial, adding that
he knew it was out of place to do such
thing at that time. but nevertheless he
thought it his duty.
Judge Clancy did not fancy the pro-
ceeding and in plain language said:
MIR. Kelly, your conduct is very pad.
You came around here while ago ana
asked me to adjourn this case. A law
yer who has any respect for hlmseil
would not have come into the -ase the
way YOU did. Your conduct is highly
unprofessional and ungentlemanly."

upon the defendant to tell his story

One reason why the styles meet with
general approval is that the hats are
constructed upon scientific plan ana
seem to suit every face. the general con-
tour Of the face and hat being closely
looked after by the trimmers and de-
signers.
Symons' opening, like all other ven-
lures of that company. has been pro-
nounced success. The opening. on ac-
count of the inability of the store to ac-
commodate the crowds in single day,

SET ASIDE ORDER.

In the suit of F. A. Heinze against Carl
Kleinschdimt as administrator OF the es-
tate of John D. Airport, the action upon
which E. H. Wilson was appointed re-
ceiver of the Minnie Healey mine, Judge
Clancy today set aside the order made
by him on the 18th permitting the re-
ceiver to keep the property in repair.
This leaves the property in a state of
suspense with Mr.. Wilson once more
private citizen instead of an officer of
the court.

One of the incidents of the New York
city campaign Is a movement to require
political parties to discontinue the prac-
tice of hanging banners across the
streets. AS the campaign increases in
interest the committees devise new ban
ners and fling them to the breeze until
the main thoroughfares of the city are
rendered unsightly by the quantity Of
Tapping canvas proclaiming the merits
or shortcomings of the rival parties.
There is prospect Of the crusade against
the offensive political emblems being sue
cessful and if New York succeeds in put
ting an end to the vice of campaign ban
ners the great municipal contest Will
not be in vain. no matter which side
wins the coveted offices. '-

NEW YORK CiTY.S ELECTION.

Next Tuesday the battle Of the ballots
will take place in the city Of New York.
The registration in the city this year
is 615,o54, gain of nearly $4,000 over
the figures of four years ago and a
falling off Of about $4,000 from the reg
istration total of last year. Under the
control of Tammany Hall is an army
Of offfceholders numbering 44,044 and the
annual payroll Of this great political
combine is vast amount. It is the
general opinion that this year the ma
chine is not under good control and that
something is lacking to render its opera
ton sufficiently perfect to insure con-
tinued lease of power for the corrupt
organization which has ruled New
York so long. The most powerful oppo-
sition ever arrayed against Tammany
is now attempted to wrest the control
of Gotham's municipality from Croker's
corrupt rule, and good citizens all over
the country unite in the wish that the
ring to which this occasional citizen of
New York owes his power may be
smashed. r..

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

Residents of Butte who are interested
in educational matters have learned
with no small degree of satisfaction that
President Elliott of Harvard university
will pass through this city on trip to
the Pacific coast. and has decided to
tarry long enough in Montana's metropO-
lis to inspect the wonders Of the great
est mining camp on earth and greet
the members of the educational settle
ment Of the place. Seldom is it the good
fortune of a Western city to be visited
by one of the distinguished men from
Eastern educational centers. and it is
eminently proper that q reception be
given President Elliott that will be a
credit to Butte, and commensurate with
his eminence in the educational world.
Harvard men in Montana are not nu-
merous, but among Butte citizens are
numbered enough college men to take
the lead in preparing a suitable recep-
ton to the head of the oldest college
in America. The project is one that
should engage the attention of the clubs
of the city, whose aims are directed
along educational lines. Harvard's
president will be received with conspic-
uous courtesies in every city of the
West in which he stops. and. Of course,
Butte. will not be lacking In this regard

indulging his inclination to be considered

exhibited at all times complete mastery

LOG SCHOOL HOUSE.

The report of the county superin-
tendent of schools of the county Of
Park sets forth the interesting fact that
out of sixty-four schoolhouses in the
county over which she presides twenty
four are built of logs. The report of the
Park county's superintendent may be
taken as an index to the conditions pre-
vailing in the several counties OF the
state. 1t is safe to say that the percentage
of the log schoolhouses in the state is
about as great as that given in the re-
port Of the superintendent OF Park.
There are many evidences that the log
school buildings Of the state are being
supplanted by more suitable structures
and that In a few years the log school
house will be among the things of the
past. 1t is one of the characteristics
of the settler Of Montana to establish
a school as soon as enough permanent
residences are made in a community
