record was shady, and trespasser

proof of self defense nor have good men
any license to kill bad ones.
His strongest argument was upon
the manner in which the wounds were
inflicted, none of the bullets having
entered from straight in front but from
the side or the back. His words were
we'll spoken and eloquent and he
seemed to be speaking straight from
the heart.

The tax levy of Rosebud county for
the year 1902 as fixed Monday by
County Commissioners T. Alexander,
A. H. Terrett and T. Hammond,
meeting after the board of equaliza-
tior, is $40 lower than it was for the
year 1901. The difference is made in

JAMES HAYNIE is NOW A FREE Man
Justice Peace Berse Decides that States Evidence
Was Not Sufficient Bind Haynle Over.

The preliminary trial of Jim Haynie
for the self confessed killing of ..Black"
Perry at Beaver Creek dug-out about
two weeks ago was held in Forsyth
last Tuesday at the court room. JUS
tice of the Peace Harry G. Wright be-
ing unable to serve the trial was made
before Justice De Berge.
The state was represented by Coun-
ty Attorney Fred L. Gibson, John c.
Lyndes and Sydney Sanner of Miles
City, while the defense was represent
ed by Fred H. Hathorn of Billings, G.
W. Farr of Miles City and T. J. Hy-
sham of Red Oak, Iowa.
Charles Turney a line rider for the
Hysham Cattle Co. of which Haynie is
the foreman was the first witness. He
testified that on Aug. End he and Hay
ME were riding along about a mile
from Sanders and were overtaken and
passed by Perry. They went on until
they reached the cabin, where Haynie
stayed while Turney was looking for
some horses. When he returned he
was met by Haynie who told him that
he had had to kill Perry in self de-
tense as the latter had taken shot at
him. Turney went into the cabin,
stayed two or three minutes and then
In obedience to Haynie's request start
ed for Sanders to telegraph for the
coroner and sheriff.
The next witness "Dug' Smith COR
federated Turney's evidence and said
that on reaching his cabin he was met
by Haynie who told him to 60 get the
neighbors as he had haa to kill Black
Perry. Smith struck out aud soon re-
turned with Free, Daily and Fletcher
and all stayed till the coroner arrived.
After dinner the crowd being So
large the court adjourned to the opera
house.
Harry G. Wright who had acted as
coroner was called to the stand. He
testified to having taken jury to Bug
Smiths cabin. They examined the
cabin and the body of the deceased on
a cot opposite the door. Three wounds
were found on the body also a bullet
hole in the wall.
DIR. D. N. Reber who held an au-
topsy on the body after it was brought
10 Forsyth then testified as to the ma
ture of the wounds. One bullet enter
tered at the back of the left side at the
eighth rib, ranged forward and up
ward and came out above the sixth rib.
A second bullet entered the left arm
about two inches from the shoulder,
came out in front severins an artery.
A third bullet entered the back of the
neck and came out in front. Accord
ing to DR.. Reber such wounds could
not have been received unless the per-
son had his back turned to 1.-THE man

Mr.. Thornton the Forsyth nixologist
gave damaging testimony against
Perry. He testified that Perry had
been in his place a day or SO previous
to the tragedy and had told him that
there was ''going to be CUTS to clean
on the Reservation" that he had given
Thornton note of $500. on certain
Forsyth parties to secure him for mon
ey he owed Thornton; that he might
see him again and that again he
might not; that if he never saw him
again to ''keep the change"
Charlie Bair of Billings testified
that he had known Haynle for eleven
years and that he had always known
him to be an unusually peaceable man.
"Skew' Johnson Of Miles City test
flied to practically the same.
P. B. Moss of Billings testified to
Haynie's good character, his opinion
being formed by many years of ac-
quaintance.
Joseph Sims of Lavina and Mr..
Norris of Billings both testified to MIR.
Haynie's past record being good.
Q. c. Cato Of Miles City testified to
having known Mr.. Haynie since 1879
and that he had borne the best of re-
putation for % years.
The evidence being all in County
Attorney Gibson took up the evidence
| and reviewed it. His principal point
was that Haynie had refused to testify
and he emphasized this point very much.
Atty. Hathorn for the defence made
a strong point when he quoted the
statute wherein it stated that it was
optional with prisoner to testify in
his own behalf and that refusal to do
SO should not be used as discriminating
evidence against him. He showed how
J Perry was a trespasser. upon lands
and in a cabin where he had no right
to be; that from Wyoming to Billings,
from Billings to Forsyth, from Forsyth
to the Reservation was one marked
trail of threats upon Haynie's life;
that Hayne's actions from the time he
fired the shot to the time of trial had
been those of an honest man. He
pointed out the fact of Haynie's stay
ing with the bod. till his companions
came up, of his sending one man for
more neighbors to stay with the body,
another being sent to the telegra ph
station. How Haynie had deliberately
gone to the nearest officer of the law on
the Reservation and given himself up
making no attempt to conceal the
tragedy.
Atty. Sanner closed the argument
for the state in an eloquent plea for a

P. O'Meara, P. H. Launon and others. Mir Woodsidc had never heard of the new camp that was to enrich him until he was invited by o. A. Turner, another Philadelphian, who knew something of the attributes of bonanza, to shell out S50,000 as the initial payment on deal involving S336 900 that had been accepted by the latter and John F. Anderson. He was ready to take chance, however, the draft was acknowledged and the prop erty that was to astOnish the mining world passed into their control.

west: Arizona, the greatest mineral
 territory of the United States, is des- tined before many years to be the lead ing mining state in the Union. II
 would be hard to select any county or
 any section in the southwest territory
 that is not big mining district. Were they not in Arizona they would be great distficts, but being in Arizona,
 many are only moderate in their show
 ing as compared with other districts and counties in this wonderful mineral
 bearing tract. Mines are everywhere and of every kind. There are great gold mines in the north. The middle southern and western parts glitter with gold, while the eastern part sparkles with silver and leak. At the same time it contains the greatest copi per fields in the world. A territory with 10000 population, producing $50, 900, ,000 annually-a mining empire. And this mining empire has only be- gun to show forth its great wealth. It is in its infancy. Comparatively little prospecting has yet been done."
 A letter just received from New York announces that the Greene Con- solidated Copper company has decided to increase its capital stock from 600,- 900 shares to 720, ,OO0, being an increase of 10000 shares, and giving the old holders of the 00,000 an option on one cl, of hA ., for every five shares Of the old stock held by them. One of the large Tue son holders received wire from New York last Saturday, offering a hand promptly declined. Immediatley fol- lowing the decision of the com pany to increase its capital stock, the entire issue Of 120 000 shares was underwrlt- ten by New York syndicate at s2O per share. Under the panicky condi- tion of the stock market existing in New York at the time, and the un- usual stringency in the money market, the underwriting of this l2O, 900 shares at $20 per share, which is the equiv alent of $24 per share for the old stock, is the highest possible tribute that could be paid to the manage ment or the company, w. c. Greene, and should be q source of qualification to him as well as his friends. This gives the company S2,400,00 cash, which enables it to liquidate all of its in- fs.ssv@,-.s~-i< sl,fas-.-s.--p a cash basis, and from its rcgulur~SariI ings immediately begin the payment of dividends, with every assurance of their continuance for many years to

Put a Stop to Brand Frauds.

l Members Of the territorial live stock sanitary board propose to put stop to
 the unlawful use Of cattle brands | throughout Arizona and hereafter it
 will be necessary for applicants for brands to prove that they have some- | thing else besides horse, a saddle and | q rope to get possession of brand It has come to light that irresponsible parties have been defrauding their neighbors by securing a brand and then proceed to the range and take ! possession of all unbranded cattle and mavericks in sight. By this means they would soon become possessed of a quantity of cattle.
 At its last meeting the board took up this matter and after discussing it | thoroughly decided that in order to check the frauds by these irresponsi- ble parties they must, by affidavit and ! otherwise, show that they are in actual possession of cattle and that they are the bona fide owners of the same to secure brand advertising. It was also decided that hereafter all brands ask ed for would be advertised for two consecutive weeks in some newspaper in order to give the cattlehen and others chance to protest in case there is any chance Of fraud about to be perpetrated.
 Secretary Harrison was instructed to prepare a list of the inspection dis tricts for each of the mem bers of the board so that they might become familiar with the work and be able to appoint responsible inspectors.
 A resolution was passed which states that in view Of the recent order issued by the department Of the interior set ting aside the Santa Rita, Chirihuahua Graham and Santa Catalina forset re- serves, the department is asked to have the place officered at once.
 The resignations of Mateo Pacheco as inspector at Patagonia, and w. H. Newell, as inspector at Dos Cabezas, were accepted, but as yet the vacancies have not been filled. An effort will be made to redistrict the inspection districts so that the inspectors may re- ceive sufficient compensation to enable them to devote their entire time to the work.
