authority from the constituted author

however, did not deter him and he pro-

that while he accompanied the party,
he went only for the purpose of point

Simpson, the liveryman, remained in
the brush with the teams while Mr..
Cort and DIR. Wilson did the work. He
discl aims any responsibility.

Chester Dean, who lately attempted

Great Falls, and whose skull was frac-

confessed. The confession was made
at the Columbus hospital last week to
Sheriff Emerson in the presence of the
Rev. Edwards, of Helena. Dean stated
that he shot at Erickson, the bartender,
with the intention of killing him and
acted in manner which showed that
he is hardened criminal. While he
was talking to Deputy Emerson Dean
appeared to be afraid of nothing and
and was rather glad to recount his
crimes. He gave the impression of a
cool, daring criminal and one who
would not hesitate to adopt any means
to escape. Ever since he has been
there Special Deputy Bert Bowen has
been with him. In all this time Mr..
Bowen has had but very little oppor-
tunity to sleep and therefore to great
extent is worn out. This being the
case, and Dean now known to be bold
criminal, it was determined to take no
chance with him and SO the shackles
were placed on his ankles and attached
to the bed. He made no resistance,
but rather seemed to think that it in
creased his Importance.

'R0ZLINC'S REMAINS EXHUMED.
After Being Refused the Authority of Law, Attorney
w. E. Cort, Attorney for rurderer Howell
Stealthily Removes the Remains
of Howells Victim

Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock there
appeared upon the Swimminy Woman
ranch of p. |. Moule Attorney W. L.
Cort, attorney for Howell, sentenced
to hang Dec. 18th for the murder of
Thomas Rolling, DIR. II. ii. Wilson and
w. l.. Halbert and these parties, per-
haps assisted by others, there disinter-
red the remains of Howells victim and
taking the skull from the body, brought
it TO Lewistown where it now is.
This ghoulish act was committed for
the purpose of obtaining something in
the shape of eleventh hour evidence
which might be used before Gov. Toole
in the pleadings about to be made for
the Communication of Howell's sentence.
Section $40 of the Penal code says:
Every person who mutilates, disinters
or removes from the place of sepulcher
the dead body of human being WITH
OUT AUTHORITY OF LAW is guilty
of felony. But the provisions of this
section do not apply to any person who
removes the dead body of relative or
friend for reinterment."
Section 5ll says: "Every person who
removes any part Of the dead body of
a human being from any grave or other
place where the same has been buried
or from any place where the same has
been deposited while awaiting burial,
with intent to sell the same OR DIS
SECT WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF
LAW or from malice or wantonncss is
punishable by Imprisonment in the
state prison not exceeding five years.
These parties went upon the land of
Mr.. Moule while he was absent in Bill
ings and without hisknowledge. Their
teams-so our information goes-were
tied in the brush; they did not first go
to Mr.. Moule's home nor TO his EN-
ployes, but those employees came upon
them and when questioned, our infor-
mant states that they replied that the
court had given them permission to
take up that body.
When seen this morning in Lewis
town Mr.. Cort was very evidently sur
prised to learn that the ARGUS was
aware of what had occurred and his
first remark was "where did you get
your information?" When asked what
authority he had for the removing of
those remains and his attention was
called to the statute provisions, he

 The principal feature of yesterdays proceedings in the district court was the sentence pronounced upon Ed Butts Jr., who was recently convicted of em- bezzling funds from the Knights of Pythias lodge. Butts attorneys made motion for a new trial immediately after his conviction, but withdrew the motion and left their client to the mercy of the court. The case has att tracted widespread attention all over the territory among members of the fraternal societies. Butts is we'll known, and until this dishonest action was held in high esteem. Judge Street gave the convicted man a sentence of one years imprisonment in the peni- tentiary at Yuma, to commence on June 5. He will be taken to Yuma in a few ays.-Gazette.

A Runaway Eneino.

A wild engine made mad run from the railroad yards at Seligman recently that might have been the cause of a whole lot of trouble, but which fortu- nately resulted in no serious accident. An employe in the yards climbed on an engine and pulled the throttle open, at
 the same time pulling the reverse lever over. The engine with a bound started eastward on a yard track, which rattled the man, and he threw the reverse back, bringing the engine to stop, but it immediately started in the other direction. The man by this time was so rattled that he did not have the presence of mind to close the throttle, and down through the yard the engine dashed, over the switch and out on the main track. The man who had turned on the steam left the machine to its fate by jumping off. As he had given full vent to the steam the engine started on wild run towards the Colorado river. gaining speed all the time until the Chino bridge was crossed, where it encountered an up grade, but under the full head of steam given it con- tinued to ascend the grade at rapid speed, and continued on it's course until past Aubrey station, until about ten or twelve miles west of Seligman, where the supply of steam was exhausted. Fortunately it had the right of way for the entire distance and no damage re- suited from the race, but the man who turned it loose is no longer working in the Seligman yards.-Journal-Miner.

SCHLE1 TOBECALLED
The Admiral May Go on the
Stand Today. -
END OF The TRIAL DRAWS NEAR.
Eight Witnesses For the Defense
Examined Yesterday - BOatswain
Hill Praises His Commander
and In Applauded.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Admiral
Schley Is expected to take the witness
stand In the naval court Of inquiry
which is Investigating his conduct in
the Spanish war some time during to-
day. This announcement Is justified by
the progress made in the examination
Of witnesses called to testify IN the ad-
mirars behalf. Eight witnesses were
heard yesterday, and there are only
three more names on the list preceding
the name of the admiral himself, or
: these three only Captain Clark of the
Oregon Is expected to testify at any
length. The admiral will be the last of
the witnesses to be heard in support of
his side Of the controversy. 1t is now
considered probable that he will be OH
the stand for two or three days.
1t is not yet possible to sny whether
any witnesses will be called in rebuttal
by the court, but it seems probable that
Il few persons may be summoned for
this purpose. The testimony yesterday
led Judge Advocate Lemly and Mr..
Hanna to decide upon the calling Of at
least one rebutting witness, II he can be
found. This is Mr.. Sylvester Scovel,
whose testimony Is desired in cOnnec-
ton with the incident of the meeting Of
the press boat Somers NJ. Smith by the
scoutboat st. Paul while the latter was
off Santiago in May, 1873. The first of
yesterdays new witnesses, Mr.. James
Hare. photographer on the press boat,
stated that Captain Sigsbee Of the st.
Paul had told the correspondents
aboard the Smith on May 26 or n that
Cervera's fleet was not inside the lar-
Dor at Santiago. Mr. Scovel was among
the correspondents on the Smith. and if
he can be found he will be asked to
come to Washington and give his testi-
mouy on this incident. 1t Is also proba.
bic that an effort will be made to rebut
other portions of the testimony given In
Admiral Schley's behalf, including
Lieutenant Sears denial Of a converse.
tion concerning Admiral Schley which
the lieutenant is alleged to have taken
part in on board the Massachusetts on
May 81.
Other witnesses In addition to Mr..
Hare who testified were Chief Boat
swain William l.. Hill, Gunner Il. r.
