At special meeting of the Stafford
Springs, Agricultural society, held last
Thursday, it was voted to pay the premi-
ums awarded at the recent fair. 1t was
decided to give L. E Dimock special
prize Of $40 for the e, hibit of the Banner
farm. 1t was voted to reimburse a Will
limantic lady for the loss of some fancy
work during the fair to the amount of $5,
half the amount OF her claim. The sooi-
ETY. is not responsible for exhibits, and
gives ample notice Of the fact. The fact
that they are willing to pay the lady $5
Is another instance of the liberality Of
their policy. The question of an addition
to the grand-stand and improvements to
the grounds was discussed, and a COM
mittee chosen, to be known as the perma-
nent Improvement committee, including
e. G. Dennis, chairman, W. 81. Hall, Fl.
8. Abel, g. Hall, Jr., and G. B. Gary.
The committee has not yet announced its
plans, but there will probably be consid-
cradle permanent Improvement before
another fair Is given.

DENOUN nee CRIME
GERMANS OF BUTTE EXCORIATE
PRESIDENTS ASSAILANT.
STRONG TERMS ARE EMPL DYED
Sons Of Hermann the First Organiza-
ton in the County to Voice It's
Convictions-Manly Senti-
ments Expressed.

The organization in the city Of Butte
known as The Sons of Hermann is the
first order in the United States COM
posed of members of foreign birth to
officially denOunce the assault upon the
life Of the president of the United States.
At meeting held Friday evening a
few hours after the president was as
saulted at Buffalo. the organization met
and passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, An attempt has been made
to take the life of the president of the
United States and the world has been ap-,
prised Of the fact that anarchy's heidious
head has been raised in defiance of law
under the flag Of the free. and
Whereas, Every member of our or
ganization stands aghast at this malig-
nant and dastardly attack upon the chief
executive of the nation, who Is well be-
loved by all classes of citizens. Wreign
and native born, therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of Tue
tonia lodge No. 2, Of the city Of Butte,
denounce the attack upon the president
as a crime SO monstrous and appalling
that no language can contain our alb
horrence of the vile deed and no punish
ment can be too swift and condign for
the loathsome degenerate who commit
ted the wanton and unprovoked assault
and be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
organization that all citizens of German
birth, wherever found, will view the at
tempt to take the life of the president of
the United States as mOnstrous wrong
which ranks with the vilest crimes ever
committee and will consign the would be
assassin of the president to the category
of criminals whose offenses merit a pun
ishment as sudden and severe as the law
can intlict. And be it further
Resolved, That members of this lodge,
deploring the assault upon the president
as national calamity, fervently pray
that his life may be spared to further
years of usefulness and that his fellow
citizens may be permitted to rejoice that
anarchy's foul design has failed Of its
purpose and law and order has triumphed
over crime.

There was a contention in Judge Nc
Clernan's court this morning over the
question of who should become admins

Jacob Nitto, who was killed in a Butte
mine short time ago. There were two
petitions before the court for letters. one
made by Public Administrator Collins
and one by brother Of the deceased
from Michigan, named Augustus Nitto
Mr.. Collins stated that at the time he
petitioned the court for letters there
was no known brother of, Nitto in the
state. or on the earth, and that if the
man who had petitioned for letters as
such could prove his relationship he
would withdraw his petition. Augustus
Nitto took the stand and gave evidence
Of who he was and Of letters relating to
his brothers estate. through a Finnish
interpreter.
An order was entered at the close of
his examination making him adminis-
traitor under a bond Of $1.445. His evil
dence showed that his brothers estate
was valued at $720.40, consisting of 5000
in insurance, a watch and $42 in unpaid
wages.
The petition Of Mr.. Collins had been
put in at the request of the undertaken

To the Inter Mountain: To decide a bet

column cut of President Mckinley which
appeared in its regular edition Friday
was made in Montana. A bets that IL
was enlarged from a photograph Of the
president and B bets that it was made
OUTSIDE the state and that no such work
can be done in Butte. Who wins? %
IA wins. The half tone of the presi-
dent which appeared in Fridays edition
or this paper, was made in Butte in the
engraving department of the Inter Noun
tain. 1t was enlarged from a photograph
just one-half the size of the picture in
the paper. Further than this it was
made in thirty minutes and was the fin
est newspaper cut of the president ever
printed.
For the information Of the loser of the
Boulder wager the Inter Mountain will
state that in the city of Butte better en-
craving is done than in any portion of
the country. Not only is this true in the
engraving department of the Inter Noun
tain, hut in every other branch Of the
business as well. The Inter Mountain has
facilities for issuing extra editions that
are not surpassed in any section of the
country. The day the half tone which
was made the subject of wager by "a"

dent in the extra, too. This was the fast-
est piece Of newspaper work ever done
in any city in the United States. n
'B" the loser of the bet at Boulder may
solace his disappointment with the reflec-;
ton that in losing he finds that Montana
leads in newspaper making as in a thou

handled.
