DEFENSE RESTS AFTER ATTORNEY GODDARD TESTIFIED

mony especially to dealings with
Banker Moss,
Garvin became indignant when
Lawyer Hathhern asked him if his
name in Texas was not Matt Coates.
Its a lie whoever said l went by that
name,' Indignantly cried the witness.
Witness admitted that he knew Bill
Coates but denied ever having had a
conversation with him in Billings.
He admitted he went by the name of
Matt Foster in Dodge City, Kansas.
The defense tried to have all this
evidence ruled out as calculated to
prejudice the defendants but the court
allowed it to stand, remarking that
the jury would have to take into con
sideration the custom of the country
relative to changing names. During
the morning session Garvin said he
saw Smith and Anderson only once,
at Hanan's coulee, eight miles from
his ranch. They were going in the
direction of Wyoming. Later in the
day he said he wanted to correct this
testimony as he had seer the two
men another time, which was at
Ewing's ranch. Garvin claimed he
had v seen but n animal in the
basin that had been worked over
as he expressed it. He saw five steers
sheared but only m showed evidence
of having been rebranded. One brand
he admitted had been tempered with.
Witness vas asked many questions
about his financial dealings with
Moss, his attorneys bringing out that
he secured money to carry on his
business from the banker and had to
consult Moss before repaying Lee
money he claimed to have borrowed.
Goddard testified that Ewing told him
in Billings, after testifying before the
grand jury that he had seen Anderson
and Smith sign the bill of sale.
On his direct examination Ewing
had testified that he saw An
derson and Smith, having signed the
bill of sale as a witness to accommo-
date Lee. Johnston announced the
defense rested as Goddard left the
stand.
Counsel for the government was
surprised that Lee did not take the
stand. 1t is expected that the attor-
neys for the defense will explain to
the jury why the defendant did not
testify.
Monday the government will call
several witnesses in rebuttal and the
defense will have some ]sub-rebuttal
evidence. The case may be given to
the jury Tuesday afternoon or We'd
nesday morning.

All Interested Should Be On Hand
and Participate.
The attention OF farmers, stock
men and all others interested in agri-
cultural and kindred pursuits is called
to the programme of the Farmers
Institute which appears elsewhere in
this issue of The Gazette. The OBJ
ject of such Institutes it too we'll
konwn to all to need any explanation
and the good results that invariably
follow their holding are conceded.
1t only depends upon those most in
terested as to the degree Of success
which will mark the first institute
to be held in Yellowstone county.
This county is peculiarly fortunate
in having among it's farmers many
who are of the progressive, modern
school, who believe that something
more than mere manual labor and
dependence upon ancient and time
worn customs and manners is requir.
ed to make farming successful and
profitable. If they will but attend and
accept the Invitation of. the admins
trative board and ask as we'll as
answer questions, volunteer informa-
ton and give the institute the bene-
fit of their experience they will help
the cause of the institute and do a
lasting service to their brethren who
may not be quite SO much up to date
to the old ways for no other reason
than that their fathers were satisfied
with the results achieved and believe
that what suited them is good enough
for themselves.

CONSULTATIONS NOT TRUSTS
Charles M. Schwab Describes the Diff
ference at Bankers Meeting.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-1n a speech to-
night before the Bankers club, Chas.
M. Schwab, president of the United
States Steel corporation, declared
that "the, trust is a dead business
proposition, built on a trinity that
would wreck anything-the restric-
ton of trade, the increase of prices,
the throttling of competition"
In distinction from the trust he
declared that consolidation had for
it's leading principles the reverse of
this trinity. That instead of restrict
ing. it expanded trade by creating
new avenues and reducing the prices
OF commodities. For illustration he
described the workings of the United
States Steel corporation, ri
that it was with this company that he
was most familiar.

SUFFERING FROM COLD,
immigrants in Oklahoma Freeze and
Starve.

Guthrie, O. T., Dec. zO.-Every road
leading into the new country is still
lined with prospective settlers. Cen
orally they are men in poor circum-
stances financially who are moving
with their families into this region to
better their condition. This is the
class of people who have suffered un-
told agonies as the result of the re-
cent cold wave. Without food and
generally without money in a country
sparcely settled they have starved
and frozen, in many cases death re-
sulting among the children. Men who
have seen these people report the
sights the most pitiable ever witness
ed. The cold weather has also brought
to light several cases of smallpox in
every town and city in the two terri
tories.

take place as soon as sufficient funds
can be raised to pay the minister's fee.
About this time Ellen Is nearly pros

the fact that she has thought, nor
yet that it was sudden, that upset Ellen:
she has had thong nts before and some
Of them have been sudden. But the

Henry and Ellen have come to town with

not forgetting the del .catessen shops and

never known before. Gloom IN thick

hearts huttered and palpitated the min

that Ellen was too young to wed.
1t was a sad couple that turned their
backs on Binghamton and headed for

ELLEN TOO YOUNG, BUTTER TOO
OLD.
Utica Observer.

Just because a jar Of butter was not
up to the grade that those asked to
purchase it felt they must insist ca, two
loving hearts have been rudely thrust
asunder, and there are Two large chunks
Of woe down in the southern part Of the
state. The scene of this oeaginous
tragedy is the little hamlet OF Rhine
Creek not far from Binghamton. The
principals are Henry Davis and Ellen
Johnson These two live on adjoining
farms. Some time ago Henry made the
discovery that Ellen was about the best
ever, and the only one to cheer the de-
Ginning years of his life (Henry is in
his twenties," as the neighbors would
put it,, and resolved that he and Ellen
must wed. About the same time Ellen
woke up to the warm fact thai Henry
was 1t. When matters had progressed
thus fara the plot began to reveal itself.
At this point a group Of villains, both
he villains and she villains came onto
the stage from both sides and began to
interfere with the smooth progress Of
loves young dream by means Of jeers
and threats. The said villains We're I'M
personated by the parents possessed re
spectively by Henry and Ellen. With
much unnecessary harshness and with
cruel disregard of the tender feelings OF
Henry and Ellen they declared in chorus
that this must not be- must not be, and
that all was over between Them. Red
fire and a slow -eurtain on the tableau
of Henry and Ellen roughly torn from
each others arms by their respective
sets of parents, Ellen weeping and
Henry cussing soto voce. So ends the
first act Of the tragedy.
The second act opens with Ellen under
close parental surveillance and Henry,
the faithful lover, stealing SurreptitiOus
interviews with his sweetheart. With
