LEE AND GARvIN GET ONE YEAR
EACH.
new TRIAL NOT ASKED FOR
With Time Allowance for Good Be-
havior Can Get Out in Eleven
Months.

Helena, Jan. IL Special to The
Gazette.] Motions for a new trial in
the Lee and Garvin cases were with
drawn in United States court this af-
ternoon and Judge Knowles %sentenc-
ed the two men to one year in the
state penitentiary and to pay a fine of
$1,000, each.
Good time allowance will let them
out in IL months. They a pay the
fine or take the pauper's oath and be
released in II months. Attorneys for
the convicted men were about to argue
a motion for a new trial, when At
torney Toole asked the court under
which statute he proposed to sentence
the men, the n providing a penalty
for stealing government property or
the n charging them with stealing
Indian property. The maximum pun
ishment under the former would be
10 years in jail and a fine of 5 5000,
while under the latter it would be
one year and $1,000.
The men were tried upon an indict-
ment charging theft of both Indian
n government property.
Judge Knowles said he would SEN
tence them under the charge of steal
ing Indian property.
District Attorney Rodgers protested,
claiming that they should be sentenc-
ed under the other statute.
The court could not see it in that
light, stating that if he sentenced
them under that statute they could
procure a release BY writ of habeas
corpus.
Attorney Toole then withdrew his
bill of exceptions and motion for a
new trial, and the court pronounced
sentence upon the two men.
Garvin when asked if he had any,
thing to say why sentence should not
be passed, said the evidence of Henry
and Brown was false.
"Well, the jury was satisfied" said
the court, that their evidence was
true n you were found guilty"
"Garvin has been convicted of steal
ing cattle he never owned" said Lee.
II never owned any interest in the
OF brand"
THE jury said you branded those
cattle there and he helped brand
them" said the court.
o course, | will have to abide by
the decision of the court" said Lee.
Sentence was then passed. The
men were taken to the county Jail and
will be taken to the p%enitentiary to-
morrow.
Mrs. Lee bid her husband an affec-
tionate farewell tonight at the Jail.
She and Attorney Goddard returned
to Billings tonight.

THE SHAKESPEARE CLUB,
Second Act of "king Lear" Topic of
Discussion.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The Shakespeare club met in regu-
lar weekly session yesterday after
noon at the club room in the library
building. The second act of "King
Lear was the topic for discussion,
and the meeting was in charge of
Mrs. A. M. Crawford, who added new
interest to this well known tragedy
by the excellent manner in which she
presented the subject. Mrs. Sherman
reviewed the historical scenes on
which the author based the plot of the
play.
The leader described the principal
characters, dwelling more especially
upon the deception which was used,
not only by King Lear's daughters
Goneril and Regain, but upon the false
play of the son. The act is one in
which wit and sarcasm play an i'm
portant part, and was read in full by
the club, the more interesting parts
being discussed.
Miss earns followed the lesson with
one of The most interesting talks on
art that has been given the club this
season. Her subject was the works
of Van Dyke. She reviewed his IA
nous paintings by giving a fine word
description of a number of them, and
the circumstances which led up to
their execution. Among those so de-
scribed were 'Repose in Egypt"
which now hangs In Florence, "King
Charles" now in the Louvre, EST.
Martin Dividing his Coat with the
Beggars," "The Holy Family" '"The
C~rucifixion," "The Adoration,' and
"The Ascension" Copies of these
were exhibited for the clubs inspec-
ton, after the close of the address.

WHY 1T HAS AIDED.
The Partial Obliteratlon of the Dec.
laration of Independence.

larat1On OF independence.
81 saw recently in the press dis
patches from Washington said r. T..
Smythe of that city. IAN item to the
effect that the original copy of the Dec
laration of Independence was fading.
The story is true in that the document
is fading, but not true that this partial
obliteration is Of recent occurrence.
Many years ago, in taking an impress
sion of the Declaration for the purpose
of reproducing copies Of it, an acid was
used which had a most disastrous effect
upon the ink with which the paper was
written. The writing began to fade rap
idly-so rapidly. indeed. that in a short
time it was with extreme difficulty that
either the text of the instrument or the
signatures to it could be deciphered.
At this time the Declaration hung upon
the wal n the library of the depart
ment of stGte. 1t was in a wooden case
supplied ltl doors, but during the
hours VIII NE library was open to the
public tn mands of the visitors
caused II ors to be open also. The
action ! ut upon the documenr
was w @a I, and in order to pre-
serve Il isa% !rther decay the secre-
tary Of state caused a specially con-
structed safe t be manufactured for
it.
"You must possess a strong pull TO-
day to obtain 81 glimpse of it. for as the
years pass the fading of the writing.
while checked. nevertheless steadily
continues. AS a consequence the de-
partment ~cficials guard it carefully
and expoGa It to the light with extreme
reluctaIcl. The safe in which the
Declaration now rests is on the right Of
b entrance to the library. while on
the left hand wall hangs the case in
which it was formerly kept. A repro
duction now takes it's place. but ninety
nine people out of every hundred who
visit the library depart after examin-
ing this copy believing that they have
seen the original. They have seen
something. however, for below the
large case is a smaller one containing a
rough draft Of the Declaration in exact
ly the form in Which Jefferson wrote it.
This is an original, but as acids have
never touched it it has faded only a

He SLAUGHTERED SLOW ELK
From Sundays Daily Gazette.

i1OA1 ouAuoy . Du1Ay 'dLOtCC.
Later reports from Miles City con.
corning the reported trouble at Lame
Deer agency are materially different
from the first sent out.
A troop Of cavalry left Fort Keogh
for the agency last Friday morning
and was expected to arrive there yes
terday. 1t is not likely that the ser.
vices Of the soldiers will be required,
as the incident which led up to the
call for assistance occurred last Wed
nesday, January 8.
On the date mentioned the agent or
dered an Indian named White to ap-
pear before him, as he had been charg.
ed with killing beeves belonging to
settlers. White refused to obey the
summons and threatened to raise an
insurrection among the Indians. The
agent then ordered the police to arrest
White, who resisted. He killed one of
the policemen and shot three ponies,
after which he killed himself, but did
not molest his wife or daughters, as
was at first enormously reported.
The sergeant in charge of the de-
tachment of soldiers which is con-
stantly kept at the agency sent a tel
ephone message to Forsyth for repe-
tition to Fort Keogh asking for more
troops. It is believed that the suicide
of White prevented any trouble that
might have occurred as a result of
appeal to the other Indians, or the
killing of the policeman.
Complaints of Indians killing beeves
belonging to settlers are of somewhat
common occurrence at Lame Deer, and
have been heard almost ever since the
Indians have been settled there. While
the whites natuarlyy object to the de-
predations of the Indians they are,
or at least some of them, free to ad-
NIT that the Indians are not altogeth-
er blameworthy. The rations issued
to them by the government, so the
settlers say, are insufficient to keep
them from going hungry at times and
as they have no other means Of sub
sistence, take advantage of oppor-
tunity, when they believe the danger
of detection is not great, to make way
with IN occasional "slow elk"
Many of the Indians work for the
settlers whenever they can obtain en-
plOyment they are capable of %discharp-
ing, but there is not work enough for
all who may wish to earn something
more than the pittance given them by
the government, and rather than starve
they steal. If the conditions at the
agency change SO that the Indians
can become self-supporting, say those
who claim to know, stealing will
cease, but until that time more or
less complaints Ct the old kind will
be heard.
