WITNESS A FALSE.
Sorry Ending Of Prosecution In JUDGE
Fraser's Court,

TIdSSFS NOQFI.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Disgust and disappointment filled
County Hathhorn and Chief Warner
yesterday afternoon as a result of the
dismal failure which attended their
attempt to have a man whom they
consider as a notorious CRATER held
to h district court on the charge Of
grand larceny.
The defendant in the Ease was
Charles Clark and the complaint
against him was that he had stolen
$50 from Eddie Noonan, an old man
known about town as "Mr. Goodman"
because of his easy going disposition.
The alleged ouch occurred in Saw
aresy's place and it is ciamed that
Clark took advantage Of Noonan's
drunken condition to take a $40 gold
coin and some other money, in all
amounting to $50, from him and keep.
ing it. AZ
One of the pricipal witnesses for
AN pAooSSuIAoA pay gu ldlSc Wucu she
was called to give her testimony and
told a story so at variance with that
she related earlier in the day to the
chef and attorney that the latter
made no resistance to the defendants
counsel when he moved a dismissal of
the charge, as it was their reliance
on har facfirnny that bod oo,,.ol 49,
officials to hope for a conviction. In
stead of adhering to her original YER
sion OF the transaction, in which she
claimed that Clark had taken Noonan's
purse from his pocket and appropriate
ed the major portion of it's contents,
she testified that while Clark had tax
en- the money it had been with
Noonan's consent and knowledge.
After the witness had left the stand
she was overheard by Mr.. Hathhorn
and Chief Warner to ask one of
Clark's friends in court if she had told
her story right. This remark caused
the county attorney to declare to the
court that the witnesses for the state
had been tempered with and intimated
that the ones who were guilty of the
tampering were not far off.
Although dismissed on the original
charge, Clark was Immediately re-
arrested on a warrant for vagrancy.
Judge Fraser continued the case UNI
til such time as Mr.. Hathhorn, who
left for Helena last night, should be
able to try the case.
Mr.. Hathhorn is in possession of a
letter from the prosecuting attorney
OF Silver Bow county in which inquiry
is made as to the. truth of a boast
Clark is said to have made in a letter
to a Butte friend that he 'sstood in"
with the police of this city and they
would not I'll him out, no matter what
ne did. Chief Warner says Clark
would have been ordered to leave long
ago, as he is an undesirable citizen,
but for the hope that by giving him
rope enough he would furnish an op-
portunfty for convicting him, an op-
portunity which was believed had ar
rived yesterday, until the main wit
ness for the state deserted them

The Leader concurs most heartily in
the sentiments expressed in the article
which appears under the caption, Good
Advice" in this paper, and which was
written by one of Marietta's most prom
inent and successful professional men.
1t is the clear policy of the Leader, put
into daily practice, to print legitimate
news of wholesome character, and to
bar from it's columns all matter border
ing on the scandalous, sensational and
degraded; and it is fact to be deplored
that the pages of some alleged news
papers TEEN with "stuf" so vile that
it would not be granted space even in
the Police Gazette. A newspaper
should stand out as an educator along
the lines of morality, and SHOULD be fit
companion both for old and young in
every home.

Buell. Post, G. A, r. is having some
very interesting meetings. Comrade J..
E. VanDervoort met with the Post at
the last session and gave the boys a
talk, and to anyone who has had the
pleasure of hearing him in one of his
talks, can give some idea how well his
comrades enjoyed being there. Buell.
Post is in a healthy condition. The
Post room is among the finest in the
city since they have new carpet and
had their furniture dressed over. Any
comrade who misses Post meetings
now is missing something good.

sooD ADVICE.

Editor Leader
What our home papers should or
should not publish, has been question
with most people, and yet to the aver
age layman there seems certain funda-
mental rules that should control the
managing editor in making his selec-
tions.
Let me present some of those topics
that l think our papers should ex-
clude:
First. all scandals should be kept out
of the papers. They do no good, and
are but appetizers for depraved minds.
Second, mysterious hints as to mys-
terious and unknown persons under
mysterious circumstances, with intima
tions of improper conduct, furnish food
for the tattler, and lead them to sus-
pect the purest of people. This is GER
tainly poor material for home paper.
Third, long accounts of brutal prize
fights between IA couple of drunken,
low-down fellows, is not calculated to
elevate the tone of any community.
Fourth, nothing should be published
that will contaminate the innocent lives
of our boys and girls. In other words,
just such paper should be published
that we can hand to our children with
the knowledge that it will do good,
and not harm.
But it may be said by some news
paper men, 'we must publish the
news" Yes, all proper news items
should be published, but not vile and
indecent stuff that no gentleman or
lady would speak of, much less have it
spread to the public. There are limits,
and if we are good citizens and desire a
moral community we should not over
step them.

POCKETS PICKED
Five Dollars in Bills Taken From Pockets
of Frank Gilman.

A smooth case of petty thieving oc-
Cured at Giman's livery stable last
evening. There were six or seven men
in the office during the time the theft
was perpetrated and it was therefore a
matter of considerable difficulty to
discover and apprehend the guilty one.
Marshall Dye, however, arrested Henry
Watson a young man about nineteen
years of age on suspicion and when the
latter was searched a sum of money
amounting to $4.90 was found on him.
He finally weakened and confessed the
theft and was taken to the city prison.
Watson took the money from the pock-
cts of a pair of trousers which be-
longed to Frank Gilman and which
were hanging against the side of the
building
The money was in the form of IS
bill, which had been broken and ten
cents of that amount spent by the
young man.
The case against him is rendered GER
tain by his confession of the theft and
punishment will probably follow.
