SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN


Missoula, Dec. I3.-Since I:I5 o'clock
this morning the jury has been considering
the fate Of Ira PRESLEY, charged with the
murder of his wife. AT that hour all the
arguments having been concluded, THE
Jury filed out Of the courtroom to deliber-
ate.
Twelve o'clock came and went and the
Jury gave no sign of either having
reached decision or wanting luncheon
The latter fact gave rise to the belief that
a verdict would be rendered presently, but
at o'clock the jurors went to the noon
meal.
Since then nothing has come from the
jury room in the way of information. The
general opinion seems to be that verdict
of acquittal will be rendered, but few
think the result will be hung jury.
The closing argument for the state was

CHAPTER III-Continued.

Bertha Lyle had come all the way
from Scotland to look after an estate
supposed to have been left her by
Ler father. He and a brother had
come to America eighteen years be
fore, when she was a mere child. At
the age of two years she had lost her
mother, and her father had placed her
in school and come to America to
drown his troubles and make his for
tune. Before he had been here ten
years the report came that he had
been killed by Indians. This was
shortly after the report that he and
his brother had inherited an immense
fortune from a brother in New York,
and while neither Bertha nor her
friends could ever get any information
concerning what became of this for
time, her uncle in America had sup
Piled her with plenty of funds to
complete her education and meet all
her wants. He wrote her that they
had invested their inheritances to-
gether in American property and that
the speculation had proved a failure,
and that while her father had left as
sets above his liabilities there was
nothing to speak of coming to her.
Out of pure benevolence, however, he.
the uncle would see that his niece
should not suffer for the necessaries
of life.
Economizing the funds he had sent

Egyptian Girls ut Plny,

In her "Recollections Of an Egyptian
Princess" the author describes a little
game at romps in the garden of the
palace which discloses very close
touch Of nature The princess was
seated near Il little lake, which had
been constructed in n serpentine shape,
winding about under rustic bridges.
She was laughingly scolding one Of
her attendants. when the girl broke
away, crying out, my mistress is an
cry with me! III drown myself" and
rushed into the water.
The princess called out, "Oh. stop
her! Stop her" and three or four fol-
lowed Immediately. But the first knew
well enough that the water was not
more three three feet deep, so she had
done it for a joke. and she turned
round and threw water In the faces Of
her pursuers.
The princess had seen the joke d.
rectly after the cry had escaped her,
and now joined heartily In the fun,
and urged others to help In the cap
ture. The general harem dress when
warm weather set In was white Indian
grass-cloth, mo-e or less fine. made
loose, and confined at the waist by a
colored sash. ribbon to match being
usually worn round the throat, and to
tie back the hair.
The dress could not be hurt by the
immersion, but the ribbons might be
spoiled. Some were seen to cast a
glance ON their pretty ties. which was
a signal to those who saw the look to
rush upon them at once and push them
In.
There was nothing but screaming
and laughing, several disporting them
selves - the water, others pursued all
over the garden, met at the cross
paths, turning and doubling on their
pursuers. The princess clapped her
hands with delight and laughed unre-
strainedly, and the girls themselves
were immens, ,ly pleased with the Joke.

And how did you leave dear un-
cle?" inquired a young woman in a
voice of innocence.

piled a rugged frontiersman, covered
with the dust Of the plains.
And how long shall it be before
we reach his placer" inquired the
same female voice.
within about two days-that is II

piled the man.
But nothing can happen to prevent
it. except an extraordinary event, can
it?" inquired the girl assuringly. and
continuing as II to remove all doubt,
'you look fresh, your men are all
fresh and your horses look as If they
were anxious to start on the return
journey"
THAT is all true, Madam, but in this
country We never count on anything
until it's accomplished, and the 'ex-
traordinary' is likely to happen any
time"
"Oh, then are we to pass through a
dangerous section?" inquired the
maiden with some alarm.

Snakes are skulking among the rocks
they are likely to strike at any time"
replied the frontiersman.

continued, "and know that there must
be very many varieties, and that they
must be dangerous but never read of

But these Snakes bite at any time
and at any place" replied the man
with a smile. They prefer the dark
however, and more often strike from
ambush. To be plain with you, Mad

Then are we in imminent peril'"
inquired the girl with self-possessiou.
mo, no, not that, Miss. we might
make this trip dozen times without
being molested, but the Snakes are on
the warpath now. and while cattle
stealing and horse stealing is their
principle object, they are not averse
to bigger prey, especially when the
odds are in their favor. They go in
small bands. though, and our boys are
capable of holding their own with
most of them. AS it is getting late

that the reader should see. In the
front room there are easy chairs,
lounges, tables, books and writing
materials. On the walls there are
pictures. To stop here one would
imagine himself in a cultivated home
in a thickly settled country, but in
glsncing further one sees reminders
OF the fact that one is in reality in
frontier place of abode. By the side
of the outer doors stand the latest
manufacture Of rifles, and guns of
all makes hang in the racks over the
doors and about the walls. Large
revolvers swing from points here and
there like ornaments, while numerous
varieties of this deadly weapon adorn
the tables in the room.
In the main bedroom this same
abundance of firearms exist, and in
this room. as in the front room, a
large table stands in cne corner and

improved apparatus for loading and
reloading cartridge shells, and an
abundant supply OF ammunition is at
hand to withstand an ordinary siege.
The other rooms Of the building are
only ordinary bedrooms, showing the
lack of care and attention usually
found in bachelors quarters, while
the dining-room and kitchen are large
and spacious, and large supply OF
provisions are stored away to Keep

Of the previous night and came upon
the Indians at noon. The latter were
conscious Of their power and boldly
ate their dinner In full view of the
whites, and took their time about
moving on, shouting out words OF de-
fiance as they went.
The brave four were rewarded by see
ing Bertha from the rimrocks, still well
and unharmed, but II was with a shud-
der that they beheld the attention that
she received from the leader OF the
band.
The Indians numbered about forty
warriors and were a set of as ugly
and vicious looking fellows as ever
won the unenviable name OF their
tribe. The whites could do nothing but
follow at distance with the hope
that something might transpire by
which they would be enabled to re-
lieve the young woman from her di-
lemma. But now that they were dis
covered by the Indians their prospects
seemed far less flattering than when
they first started out
Strategem was their only hope. To
make the Indians believe that they
had abandoned the chase and. thus
throwing them of their guard, ap-
proach the camp by stealth at night
and rescue the woman was the plan
they formed.
So In full view OF the Indians they
saluted them as II bidding them good

they had abandoned the chase.
