Judgment of this court that you be
remauded to the custody OF the sher-
ifi nf Cascade county and by him con-
yeyed tv the states prison, there
to be confined for period of ten
years"
Such was the sentence pronounced
yesterday morning by Judge Leslie
in the district court upon Percy De
Wolfe, convicted of grand larceny.
The crime of which he has been ad-
judged guilty was the stealing of
about 30 head of horses from ranch
ers across the Canadian boundary
and causing them to be brought to
Cascade county and disposed of at
Great Falls. IL is the heaviest SEN
tence that has been imposed ut this
term 0f court.
The ease has been one of interest in
all parts of the northern part OF the
state. owing To two facts: Percy DE
Wolfe has been "A resident ofnorthern

charges that have been made against
him and the numerous crimes that
have been laid MT his door In all the
counties in the northern part OF the
state, he has been considered dan.
gerous man by the stock association,
and for that reason it has bent IT.

this latter ease.

Through his father-n-law he has been
supplied with plenty of means to get
himself out of the scrapes he has got
himself into, and there will be more
money forthcoming to assist In the
work OF having the present convic,
tion set aside. Aside from his wife

A woman and child from Indiana,

band In Memphis was also among

A number of soldiers returning
from their regiments on furlough had
large sums OF money In their charge

comrades. The safe was saved, and
a few who had deposited with the
clerk received their packages, but the
remainder, with but one or two ex-

The burning steamer lay with her
bow hard aground on the island. but

off to the middle of the river, where
she burned to the waters edge, the

aboard. The cabin was thrown
open and the best accommodations
the steamer afforded was placed at

sengers and crew, without money
und without price. One passenger
who had lost his wife remained on
the island in the hope of recovering
her remains. The Glasgow landed
at Cairo on Saturday afternoon,
where the passengers were kindly
furnished with free tickets, by rail-
