SKATERS CASE.

It is the general opinion in legal circles
that Joseph Shafer has again played
in first-rate luck. In the autumn of 1897
Shafer killed man in this city, and
jury decided that hanging was fit pun
ishment for his crime. A new trial was
secured and another jury Endorsed the
judgment Of the first one. Shafer was
duly sentenced to die by the rope. Four
years and three months have gone by
since Shafer first took up his abode in
the county Jail. During that period such
public indignation as was aroused by his
deed has had ample time to cool. The
witnesses to the killing have died or
removed from the state, and Shafer is
now in a fair way to hope for light SEN
tence or liberty. Shafer has long been
a noted character in Silver Bows courts.
Out of his trials has come material for
gossip and comment that passes the Or
binary degree Of murder-trial sensation.
He has played waiting game and
hard fight has been made in his behalf
The failure of the trial court to properly
instruct the jury has given Shafer Q
new lease of life and public interest Is
again renewed in the varying fortunes
of the man who has for more than -four
years been the star boarder of Silver
Bow county's jail.

JUDGE STEPHEN De Wolf.

Stephen DeWolf lived twenty years of
his life in Butte, winning the respect and
admiration of every man with whom he
came in contact. BY birth he was a Ten
nesseean, but moved across the noun
tains to Virginia. where he grew up and
received his education. After the war
M came to the West, settling in Salt
Lake, where he formed a law partner
ship with II. N. Baskin, who was prom:
nent in the campaign for the suppress
sion Of the crime of poygamy. About
1878 the partnership was dissolved and
Judge DeWolf removed to Butte, where
for time he was counsel for the Alice
company Later he formed several
partnerships for general practice. He
served one term as judge of this judicial
district and one term as city attorney
OF Butte, discharging the duties Of each
Office with marked ability and perfect
integrity. For some years he was the
owner of much valuable real estate, but
reverses led to its sacrifice. and when
three years ago he decided to leave
Butte in search of a new location his
financial resources were limited. Rich
or poor, however, Stephen DeWolf was
ever cheerful, courteous, generous
man. He was the very soul of honor. A
typical Southerner, he had all the pride
and courage of the best men of the
South. Handsome, polished, eloquent,
he was always respected in professional
and social circles, and none who under
stood his true nobility of soul will learn
OF his demise without sincere regret. He
had never married, but for many years
lived in home presided over by his
sister, a cultured lady to whom his
brotherly devotion was most beautiful
and whose i'll health during late years
was the subject of his gravest solicitude
With the exception of a brother who
lives in Portland or Seattle, it is not
known whether Judge and Miss DeWolf
has living relatives, nor can the Inter
Mountain state where the fnterment of
Judge DeWolf will take place. The
people of Butte, however, regardless of
the fact that the judge had not for sew
eral years been one of their number
earnestly unite in expressions of grief
over his death, as We'll as in the hope
that the rest that has come to him vii!
be as sweet as his life was noble

A new CLUBHOUSE.

Residents Of the city Of Butte who
know something of the work the
Womans club is doing irave learned
with regret that plans recently formed
for building a clubhouse for the organ
ization have fallen through. For time
at least the project which appeared so
easy of accomplishment some time ago
will be too hard task for the club
women to perform If they attend to the
duties they voluntarily assumed as an
organization for the betterment of the
city. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
the new clubhouse will not be built. I.
would shelter an organization second to
none in the city in point of real
service in the upbuilding of Butte. The
womans club is justly regarded as the
parent organization in club circles.
There are few households in the city
whose members have not heard of the
good work undertaken and successfully
performed by this organization and the
federated bodies which have sprung up
around 1t. The influence of club work
has been felt in the school rooms which
it has Frightened and made more at
tractive, In homes into which earnest
mothers have taken new ideas and
fresh inspiration gained In the organIza-
TONS meetings and in every phase Of

doing what has been done. the woman's

DIED AN ANARCHISTS DEATH.

In due time this morning at Buffalo,
n. Y, Leon Czolgosz died. Seven weeks
after he shot down the chief executive of |
the nation he was sent out of the world,
where his mad act had shocked and ter
rified millions Of peaceful people. The
incidents of his trial and execution were
all in conformity. with the strict letter
of the law, and he received fully as great |
consideration before the court as would |
be given an accused person whose guilt
was not shown by overwhelming proof.
Temporarily and without undue haste,
the machinery of the law moved Czolgosz
to the threshold of the unknown, and this
morning when the electric current ush-
cred him through deaths portals. there
was completed an example of speedy
Justice which cannot fail to have good
effect upon criminals of his stamp.
If there was doubt at any time con-
corning Czolgosz's belief in the teachings
of anarchy they were set at rest by his
demeanor in prison and in the immediate
presence Of death. He died as anarchists
have always died-rejecting religious
gross materialism to the last. Some
where in anarchy's red code there must
be something that teaches its disciples
how to meet q criminals death. Certain
1t is that all Of them adhere to the same
practices to the last gasp. When the
anarchists hanged at Chicago for COM
plicity in the murders committed in Hay
market Square were swung into eternity
each Of the convicted men died after the
manner in which Czolgosz met death this
morning. Speeches were made from the
prisoners dock, and on the scaffold each
of them had something to say. AS the
trap was ready to be sprung there came
about to die muffled. defiant shout,
"hurrah for anarchy"
There has been less avowed anarchistie
teaching since the men hanged at Chi.
cago felt the hand of justice laid upor
them. Indeed, it appeared for a time al
# the creed Of blood had been effectually
stamped out, and wholesome dread o.
the gallows had tempered anarchists
wrath against government. The execu
ton at Buffalo this morning will doubt
less have further influence upon those
who believe that bloodshed is a suitabl,
remedy for real or fancied wrongs.
The history of Czolgosz's crime fur
nishes proof Of the fact that there ar,
no seeds Of violence sown broadcas
among the people. Within the marrow
circle where Czolgosz received the lesson
which fired his brain is the only DANCE
that menaccs the life of men elected b.

to show any LESSONS. The two horses
ate together about four bushels of
spoiled corn, most of 1t being consumed
during the first week. After the first
week the corn had to be mixed with
other feed in every conceivable man
ner In order to induce the horses to eat
any of 1t.
In none of the tests was cerebro-
spinal meningitis induced by the uaoldy
grain. The deduction drawn by the
station from the investigations fol-
low:
The results of the experiment show
that NEGOTIATIONS with cultures of the
bacteria and molds were ineffective.
Eating of the mashes containing pure
cultures showed that only In the case
OF a growth OF a species of fusarium
did any intestinal disturbance follow,
and that In one case the feeding of the
rotted grain produced considerable in
testinal disturbance and some nervous
symptoms, but that the disturbance
was light In the other.
1t appears, therefore, that while
many of the cases of sickness In stock
attributed to eating moldy corn are
due to other causes, the continued use
OF such food may result in intestinal
and nervous disorders of serious ma

Feeding Moldx Corn.

The annual loss of live stock from
cerebro-spinal meningitis is quite CON
siderable. Various causes for the
spread of this disease have been sug-
gested. One of those popularity be-
heved in Is the eating of moldy corn.
During the fall and winter of 1899
there was large loss of cattle in
Indiana which was attributed to this
cause. A wet fall was responsible for
large quantities of moldy corn. The
popular belief was that the organism
causing the fermentation in the corn
produced disease in the live stock. The
Indiana station studied the epidemic
and Its relation to its alleged cause.
The disease was found to be cerebro-
spinal meningitis. An examination of
large number of specimens of moldy
corn from different localities showed
that one bacteria and two molds were
common to all samples. Other micro
organisms were found, but varied in
the different samples.
Tests of the poisonous properties of
the moldy corn were made with two
horses. After preliminary feeding
period five cubic centimeters (about
one-sixth ounce) of an active growth
in bouillon of the bacterium found in
moldy corn was injected under the
skin. After an interval of six hours
this was followed by an injection of
10 cubic centimeters. No appreciable
effect was observed; not even so much
as an abscess occurred. Five DAYS
later a similar test was made with a
culture of one of the molds isolated
from the spoiled corn, and after like
interval similar test with culture
OF the other mold. In neither case was
any abnormal symptom observed.
Each of the three heterogeneous
was then grown in corn meal pre-
viously sterilized. In various ways the
horses were induced to eat as much as
5 pounds per head daily of the infected
meal, each micro-organism being test
ed for a period of FIVE days. The effect
of the meal inoculated with the bac-
terium and one of the molds was mega
tive The meal inoculated with the
other mold-a fusarium-produced red
ness OF the gums and some salvation.
The horses were then fed all the
spoiled corn they would eat. On the
first three days they ate it readily, and
after that 1t was with difficulty that
they could be induced to eat any.
On the fifth day one of the horses
had slight salvation, occasional colicy
pains. and diarrhoea. On the seventh
day there was some incoordination of
movement and stupor. For two days
the animal would stand part of the
time with the head pressed against the
wall, and then quick recovery followed.
The second horse showed some irrita-
tion of the mucous membranes of the
mouth, but never developed any nerv-
Gus symptoms. The horse was killed.
but post-mortem examination failed
