Judge MccIeran Says CAGE Cannot
Be Reached This Term.

EL"
Butte, July Mot guilty." was the
reply of James Cusick made to Judge
McCleran's request yesterday morn
ing for his plea to the charge of MUIR
der in the first degree. The man who
shot and killed Thomas Baggs in front
of a West Park street saloon on the
evening of June %, had little to say,
being content with a simple denial of
the serious charge. His attorney, E.
S. Booth, did the talking. In the
course of his few remarks to the court
the attorney offered a demurrer to
the information. In this it was con
tended that more than one offense
was named, and therefore the informa-
ton did not conform to the status
relating to such charges. The court
disallowed the demurrer.
1t was rather expected that the
trial of the case would be set for this
term of court, but Judge McCleran
said he did not think it could be reach
ed by the present jury. The case will
probably not be tried before early in
the fall.

Duchess of Newcastle Gives Guests a
Flash From Hope Diamond.


London, June 3O.-At a reception
given by the Duchess of Newcastle,
before the illness of King Edward was
known, her grace wore for the first
time in public the famous blue dia-
mond of Lord Hope, from whom it
was rented six months ago. 1t is the
most valuable jewel in the world.
Lord Francis once offered ], 1000, 900
for it. The diamond was bequeathed
to Lord Francis Hope along with the
estate of Deepdeene and a big fortune
by his grandmother, Mrs. Hope, who
stipulated, however, in her will that
If he died without issue the stone
should go to her elder grandson, the
duke of Newcastle. Although a bank
rupt, Lord Francis cannot sell the
diamond. He cannot take it out of
the United Kingdom; he cannot even
pledge it, since his ownership is mere
ly a life interest. But he rented it
to the duchess, his sister-in-law, who
has a passion for diamonds. Thus
his income is sufficient now to keep
the wolf from his door.

TURNS STATES EVIDENCE.
Sensation Sprung in Cattle Stealing
Case at Kaiispell.

|Gr+H. SNOS = sN&ssOpSsts n @ea5EA
Kalispell, July IA sensation in
the Lang cas- was sprung today when
Frank Roberts gave evidence against
John Lang, charged with cattle steal
ing. Roberts claimed he was making
a clean breast of the matter. He said
he and Joe Robinet stole the cattle
from the reservation at the instance
Of and for Lang, who was to give
them part of the value for them.
In regard to the particular bunch
about which the arrest was made, he
said they brougt % head to a point
west of town and Lang went to look
at them and pronounced them all
right. The party then drove them
through the town toward Lang's place
east of town. Robinet got sick and
came back to town. Roberts went on
to Montford, where he said Lang paid
him 5000, then he came back to town.
He afterward asked Robinet if he
got his money and he said he had.
Characterization did not change
his testimony or rattle the witness.
Being asked by Attorney Logan what
had been promised him by County At
torney Oliver for turning states evil
dence, he said Oliver told him to- tell
the whole truth and the state would
do the right thing by him, not speci-
flying what it was.
