FALL JURY TERM COMMENCED MONDAY.
A Motion For the Continuance OF the Case
Against Stephen J. Harding Was Grant
ed By the Court.

Court was formally declared open
at 10 o'clock on Monday morning
and after the assembled jurors had
been sworn the case of the state Va.
Stephen j. Harding was called.
Information charging the defend
ant with stealing a corral which is
alleged to be the property OF Oscar
Stephens, was read and Mr.. Harding
entered a plea Of not guilty.
Owing to the unavoidable absence
OF James and Andrew Fergus, wit
nesses for the defense, the case was
continued until 9 O'Clock in the after
noon to allow counsel for the defense
to act in the matter.
At 2 O'Clock a motion was made
by counsel to continue the case owing
to the fact that it was impossible for
James or Andrew Fergus to be
present.
The court very forcably made men,
ton OF the fact that these delays
were a cause Of great expense to the
county and warned counsel that such
proceedings would not be tolerated
If not made mandatory by the stat
utes. The matter was taken under
consideration by the court who ad-
journed proceedings until 10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
Yesterday morning Judge Cheadle
granted a continuance of the case OF
the state vs. Stephen j. Harding UNI
til December End and stated that he
had given the matter much consider
alton and found that the u cited
were sufficient for delay though
minor points in the affidavit were
defective.
Mr.. Harding was put on the stand
and sworn and on being questioned
by the court said that he had inter-
viewed both James and Andrew Fer
gus on the subject and they had told
him that they were both willing to
testify. A letter was produced by
the court from James Fergus which
stated that he did not know any
thing about the elise and Judge
Cheadle remarked that there was
evidently II mistake somewhere.
The court then stated that he was
obliged to accept affidavit rs true
and sufficient reason for continuance
as by a refusal he would be liable to
reversal by the supreme court.
The case of State w. James Shad-
well. assault in the second degree, is
now on trial.

Gov. Toole favors the raising of a
fund for an exhibition at the st. Louis
exposition by private subscription
rather than by Legislative appropria-
ton. He figures that the state will
have a deficit of S33,OOO by the time the
Legislature meets again and he does not
think it advisable Ia go into debt in
order TO be represented at the eXposi-
ton. This seems like n bad admission
for the fusion administration of this
state, considering the handsome rev.
enues that arc now pouring into its
Golfers.

William r. Hurst thinks his vile
publications should be kept out of the
pest house simply because the Chicago
American supported the school teach
ers of that city in their fight agains,
the ta~x-dodging corporations. We
hardly think the utterances of the
Hurst organ had any influence or the
supreme court of Illinois. 1t was a
question of law and the court would
not be apt to seek instruction from
such a disrepntable source. While
claiming TO be the champion of the
people and of reform possibly Mr..
Hurst may be able TO explain why his
New York journal was the only news
paper laying any claim TO decency
which supported Croker in the late
municipal campaign in that city.

sins and will no doubt become valu-
able property on development.
The American Mining News con.
talns the following article about the
great United Verde mine, the proper
ty of Senator W. A. Clark, which, II
correct, would indicate that 1t IL
probably the richest mine and he the
richest man In the world: at has
only come to light that the average
values Of the ore taken from the
United Verde is S75 per ton In all
values-gold, silver and copper. This
mine, so far as has been developed,
including explorations and diamond
drilling below the present workings,
shows an immense ore chimney, 400
by GOO feet across, that has been ex.
plored by shafts, tunnels and drill
holes To a depth OF 400 feet. Just
how far IL will be possible to work
this mine before the heat limit is
reached Is hard to say, but n reason
able estimate would be 5000 feet.
An estimate by one OF the best min
ing engineers in this country shows
that the mine To the depth Of 1900
feet contains ZIG, 900, 900 cubic feet of
ore, and estimating eleven cubic feet
tn the ton there is practically 23,000.-
600 tons In sight. Ii we carry these
figures n little further on the present
values of the United Verde we have
the average value of the ore equal
ing 80, 800, 900, 900. T%hepresent owner
OF the property has refused $4,000, GOO
for the mine"

well how many and serious have
been his offenses, would be lenient
toward him. Choteau county. will
send an officer after him and promise
to give him all he has coming, and
turn him Owe to Valley county. to
answer for the Malta hold-up, II the
Choteau county dose Is sufficient.
There is no evidence to implicate
Longbaugh In the murder OF Jim
Winters, which occurred shortly
after Winters had harbored the
posse that was in pursuit of the rob-
bers, but the men who are believed
to be guilty of thatcrime are thought
to be not far in advance OF trailing
detectives.
Under Sheriff Crawford OF Choteau
county, who is In Great Falls today,
will probably leave for st, Louis
about the middle of the week. In
anticipation OF the coming OF Long
baugh, the commissioners ofChoteau
county have ordered tbejail strength
ened. The building was built nearly
20 years ago and the recent grand
jury strongly urged that 1t be re-
paired. as six prisoners escaped from
1t a year ago. The commissioners
have requested bids for the construc-
ton Of two steel cells, each 6hx7 feet
and eight feet high. They are to be
of the latest construction and with
the most modern locking devices.
They will be built in what is now
the jail Office, and will give two good
cells Mt least. The present cage IL
strong enough for ordinary male
factors, and will remain as 1t is.
The authorities have a special cage
for Longbaugh, and il they get him
they will be ready to prove that he

IL is not strange that there were no
bids for state lands in Cascade county
when the lands to be reclaimed by the
Dearborn canal will be sold for $3.50
an acre. As regards the leased lands
in that county we are reliably inform
ed that some of those holding them
would not renew their leases unless
they could be secured for a less price
than they are paying now. This
would not indicate that they were of
such great value as some are led to be-
lieve from the storm raised by the
Great Falls Tribune.

Does the ARGus know of any in
stance in Fergus county where there is
a desert land claim irrigated. according
to the requirements of the law, by
water from a local spring. We are in
clined to doubt it.-Great Falls Trib-
une.
The editor OF the Tribune is not
familiar with the conditions in Fergus
and other mountainous counties in this
state Judging from its doubt as to the
correctness of our statement. The
Judith Basin, surrounded by five
ranges of mountains, contains innumer-
able springs or brooks of varying alti-
tudes as regards their source, and in
order to get the proper gravity or fall
these streams are tapped in many in.
stances very near the point from
whence the water issues from the
mountains. These streams vary in
size as a matter OF course. Some are
large enough TO reclaim a great many
acres, while others are ample for a sim
gle desert claim. As a matter Of fact
all of the water utilized for irrigation
in Fergus county ome from springs
within the limits of the county, with
the exception of The Musselshell river.
The Missouri river on the north is of
no benefit to Fergus county so far as
irrigation goes and never will be. Pos
sibly the Tribune might call the lands
u be reached by these streams or con
tanning these springs, agricultural
lands, but it cannot do that for does il
not express doubt as to there being
sufficient water even to comply with
the requirements Of the desert land
law"

The Inter Mountain contends that il
would not be right to raise money for
the st. Louis exhibit by Legislative APP
preparation because there are some
counties which would derive no benefit
therefrom. This is a narrow view "a

name the counties 81 that the residents
of such may not squandcr their money
on something that will do them nc
good.

OF FERGUS COUNTY,

The Spotted Horse mill has again

ably adjusted, new machinery will be
placed IN the works and operations
again resumed.
