BINDING BLIZZARD
FIERCE GALE HITS THE TOWN
HARD THIS MORNING..
STOCK WILL SUFFER MUCH
Poor of the City Unprepared for Severe
Weather - Sweet Charity Will
Lend a Hand Where
Needed. -

At 10 o'clock this morning Butte was
struck by a bowling blizzard.
1t came up from the west from fair
sky, and howled in the sudden fury Of
a typical mountain storm.
So fierce was the wind and so thick
the scurrying snow-lakes that it was
almost impossible for pedestrian to
face them.
The storm was reported from Anac con-
da a few minutes before it broke here,
and it is believed that it is general all
over this section of the country.
About noontme the storm had its
quietus--in fact, it's cessation was about
as rapid as it's commencement, the sun
came out in all it's magnificent radiance
and the weather became pleasing in the
extreme.
Thus far Montana has been enjoying
an exceptionally fine winter. Stockmen
have been Ongratulating themselves on
the light snowfall and comparatively few
storms have been experienced.
Havoc Among Stock. a
In Montana the first storms of winter
generally work considerable havoc as
they find people unprepared, stock eX-
posed, and in many cases no provision
made for the comfortable care ara
Iu.o4us
This is not due so much to neglect
as to the fact that our winter climate
is remarkably uncertain.
Those who have lived in the state for
any length Of time remember a winter
which was absolutely devoid of any
snowfall or severe degrees of tempera-
ture, followed by the genuine articl.
which lasted with also no intermission
for five or six months.
This uncertainty often leads to fatal
confidence in natures kindness: ranchers
neglect to put up any considerable guam
tity of hay. trusting to the chances of
plenty of feed.
In Butte and adjacent cities. the suffer-
ing from a sudden storm of this char
of course, are always unprepared, and
when the wind whistles doleful plant
through the leaky cabins and the Goa
supply thns down to a few meager
Jumps, blizzard is doubly unwelcom,
visitor
But it's an ill wind that blows no.
body good.
The storm makes the smile grow broad
on the coal mans face. and the smooth
men with garments, warm wooden gar
ments, to sell, welcomes the storm and
wheels out a grinning dummy wrapped
in a fuzz-wuzzy goatskin coat guar
anteed to Withstand the storm, be it ever
SO strenuous.
Charitable Organizations Active.
The charitable organizations of the
city are always ready to lend a hand
to the poor, and there is no doubt that
any cases of genuine suffering which
come to their notice will be thoughtfully
and generously cared for.
The ladies of the Associated Charities
are continually on the watch for cases
of suffering from cold and hunger,
Their kind offices come OPPORTUNITY in
such weather as this. and particularly
during the holiday season when sweet
charity endeavOrs to bring a little light
and Joy to saddened hearts. they make
every effort to comfort all who are in
need of assistance to feed the hungry
and take care of the fatherless. the
widow and the orphan.

MIXED IN HIS TALK.
Christmas Celebrator Tries to Be Polite
But Makes a Failure of It.

Peter McDermott bore the glad Christ
mas tidings around to a number of sa-
looms yesterday morning. Then he made
the mistake of his life.
After getting sufficiently drunk to dou-
BILE his vision and transform his stride
into a sailors gate. he walked up to OFF,
Ger McQueeny and saluted.
Peter intended to be polite, but got
mixed in his talk to the extent that he
injured the policeman's feelings.
The result was that Peter landed in
Jail with a large bump over one eye. He
was 1eleased later on bonds. and this
morning appeared in police court.
One glance at the array Of prisoners
convinced MGDermott that it wasn't q
fit gathering to be seen with and he
strolled out again to take "a hours in
which to plead.

The North Coast OF south America
VIII BE stops i'm the
American West Indies.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-The winter
cruise of the North Atlantic squadron,

Indies.
The squadron will coal at Newport News
and take on provisions at Hampton Roads,
leaving the latter place on the 1st of De-
cember, and after the stop at Charleston,
proceed directly to Havan where it is
scheduled TO arrive on Dee. II. After a five
days stay at Havana the squadron will
proceed 10 Matanzas and then to Celebra

The Journal has never shared the hopes
or fears of those who predicted that. in
the last hour. Governor Durbin would ex-
tend executive clemency TO Keith. unless
there should be some fresh evidence tending
TO show his innocence. Under existing con-
ditions it would have been very bad policy
for the Governor TO have changed the SEN
tence OF the jury and sustained by the
court. however strong the pressure. During
the past three or four years there have been
several %lynchings in Indiana. When reasons
We're sought for such l-awlessness. the chief
that were given were that the people had
lost all confidence i'm the machinery Of the
cOurts-that men indicted for high crimes
were more likely i'm those localities to es-
cape the penalties of the law than 20 re-
ceive punishment. Inquiry in those locali-
ties sustained the assertion. It is frequent
ly stated I'm news items from different parts
of the State that the man who made a
deadly assault upon another had previously
killed a man, but had escaped conviction
upon some technicality. Within two years
prosecuting officers i'm at least two districts
have agreed to nave men guilty OF deliber-
ate murder plead guilty OF manslaughtcr
and thus get an indeterminate sentence
in the RefornatOry. While a change i'm pub
lie sentiment may have caused a change for
the better in the trying and sentencing Of
murderers. it can be said. and facts can he
found TO sustain the statement. that the
chances We're against the passing upon
those clearly guilty of homicide the ade-
quate penalty for the greatest Of crimes.
In one county n man was tried recently and
given a life sentence whose crime was COM
mitted three years ago. a few months since
a man was lynched i'm the same county
for committing a murder, on the ground
that the court could not be relied upon
to punish the takers of human life. often
a sensational sentiment is hostile to the
enforcement OF the laws against homicide.
Only last Thursday the newspapers pub
lished sensational statements relative to the
recent murders near Evansville I'm order to
connect with them the suggestion that the
life of Keith's victim.
There is every reason that persons ac-
cused of murder should be tried promptly.
and. IL proved guilty. the penalty should
be adequate to the degree of the crime.
Prompt trial and conviction. II the
evidence sustains the charge. will i'm
press upon the lawless the value Of
human life in the public estimation and The
almost certainty OF punishment for those
who commit murder. II may be added that
the punishment OF the murderer as punish
ment is a matter of little consequence COM
pared with creating a public sentiment
against murder which will deter those who
are tsmpted % commit such a crime.

Is Silent.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Nov. 15.-lt is
probable that the public will hear nothing
more soon directly from Newell c.. Rath-
bun, for two reasons. y lawyer whose
services he has secured since his arraign-
ment yesterday has enjoined him not to
talk and Judge Marsh. of the Clark county
Circuit Court, has decided that no one
shall see the prisoner except on an order
of the court. Newspaper men are barred.
Sheriff Rave says Rathbun was questioned
by his lawyer to-day and held to his last
story admitting everything except that he
gave poison to Goodman.
1t is unlikely that either side will be
ready to proceed at once with Rathbuns
trial, though a special grand jury will con-
slider his case on Monday. He is entitled
to a continuance for one term of court and
it Is said the State may want more time
to gather evidence. 1t is said that even
if Goodman was given poison there will be
great difficulty I'm determining the fact by
an autopsy since the corpse was era
balmed a week ago.
Deputy Coroner COots claims that in TAX
ing gas from GOodman's stomach with a
fluid used for that purpose he detected the
drug. y bottle filled with the fluid pumped
in and out of the stomach has been pre-
served and will be analysed if the county
will bear the expense.

prison protesting his innocence. as ne did
during his trial and after his conviction.
In a few years the usual effort would have
been made TO secure his pardon and in time
Y ould probably have succeeded. and thus
another stigma would have been put upon
trial BY jury. After Keith's conviction
some people who had not sat on the jury
professed to have reasonable doubts of his
guilt and affected a sort of superiority over
those who were willing to accept the YER
dict Of the jury as d just one. a city paper
undertook 10 discredit the circumstantial
evidence OF Keith's guilt and advanced the
fantastic theory that his alleged victim
had been murdered by an imaginary Jack
the Ripper who was also held responsible
for two other murders. The new crimes
said this sociological wiseacre, raise d
very strong doubt az to the cOnvicts guilt.
The Governor was criticised for not exer-
cising executive clemency either TO com
mite the sentence or postpone the execu-
ton. AS long as there was the ~faintest
shadow of hope that the Governor would
interfere or that the heavens might fall
to prevent his execution the prisoner con-
tinued to protest his innocence. but at the
last moment he confessed. His confession
was a strange mixture of half truths and
cowardly cant. but II was more than suf-
fcient TO establish his guilt and TO justify
the verdict and sentence of the jury and
the refusal of the Governor to interfere, II
the sentimental apoloSists who expressed
doubts of the justice of his conviction and
would have saved him from punishment
had succeeded they would have plumed
themselves on having saved an innocent
man from the scaffold. His confession
shattered their sentiment and their theories
TO atoms. and shows that the jury who
tried the case knew a good deal more about
it than their critics did. The outcome Is
a vlndication of trial by jury, by which, of
course, is meant fair trial by an impartial
jury.

TORTURED AND ROBBED.
Cruelty OF burglars Who Ransacked
Michael JOhnson's House.

HAMMOND, Ind, Nov. 15.-Two masked
men dressed as Indians entered the house
of Michae Johnson, a farmer living six
miles from here, and, after beating him
almost into i~nsensibility with their re-
volvers, thrust a lighted candle against his
face to torture him into revealing the hid
ing place OF his money. The escape from
the house of a servant girl who had been
insecurity bound alarmed the robbers, ana
they fed into the swamps along the Little
Calumet river. They secured only SIG, but
were after SIC, 600 believed 10 be hidden in
the house.
Last night the country for miles around
the johnson farmhouse was being secured
by angry farmers seeking the robbers with
rifles and %shotguns. Johnson's wounds
were pronounced severe by a physician,
while his aged wife suffered a severe nerv-
Gus shock from the rough treatment she
received. Within the last four weeks three
different persons have been held up and
robbed at Ewen's bridge. across the Little
Calumet river. in the daytime. In each In
stance the h-ighwaymen escaped in the
swamps. These robberies have aroused the
community. and the most vigorous meas
ures will be taken to rid the vicinity OF
the perpetrators.
