An aggregation Of pleasant-spoken
and gentlemanly young men OF Pollock
drove into Linton last Friday about
dinner-time, They came behind a four
horse team. Said team pranced proud
ly into town, with heads erect and
manes flowing in the breeze. When
they went out next morning they had
an ashamed and disappointed look ID
they laid forward in the collars and
dug their toes into the ground, for the
wagon was not only bearing its human
freight. but likewise ton or soof woes
and sorrows:A3,. '1.'+'
The Emmons county boys, living az
they do in an inland town, were of
course duly impressed with the posi-.
bil4tties, for were not the visiting
young men from would-be metropo-
lis, where the cars are an everyday
sight,: and'where epopnlation sever
al months ago ceased to gather en-
masse on>the depot platform tosee the
bulgine come in? However, the Rus
tics went to work in deadly earnest, re-
solved to do or die.
Editor Cranston was in the box part
of the time for the Rusties, and sever-
Il of the Rustjcs struck out through
being hypnotized by his beautiful
'conntenance and sweet smile. How.
ever, ths;young mans arm seemed to,
have sort Of d crap twist to it. and
the, majority of Ne Rustics had little
trouble In finding him for base OF
more.
1t must be admitted, however, that
the Pollock boys were somewhat han.
dicapped. In the first place, they were
shy q man, and Carpenter Monroe. Of
Linton. was impressed to I'LL up the
nine. Then, a. the Rusties went stum.
bling around tia bfses with I'LL the,
agility Of that bird cal|ed the COW, they
stepped on themselves and fell over
themselves until they had enough
wounded to start q hospital. First.
Tommy Stearns broke q bone in one Of
his hands, and Mr.. Wetherby, f Lin
ton, was put in his place. Then Will
Cunningham wrenched his knee out Of
joint, and Clint WAGNER, bf Linton,
took his place.

A concentration Of the naval forces In
two big fighting squadrons in the North
Atlantic and Asiatic waters is recon-
mended. For the present the report says
two squadrons are all that the present
number of our battleships will permit
To carry out this policy Admiral Taylor
proposes to transfer the battleships in the
remaining squadrons to one or the othc,
of these heavy squadrons, and compose
the Pacific, European and South Allan
tic squadrons entirely Of cruisers.
1t is also proposed to form additional
torpedo boat hotilas with a destroyer as
the leading vessel after the plan OF the
present group now in the West Indies
under the command OF Lieutenant Chand-
Ter
The proposed concentration Of the naval
forces, Admiral Taylor says, makes it de-
sirabe to have an officer of high rank in
command of each of the great heavy
fleets, and he recommends for these two
commands that congress authorize the Gre
alton of two vice adnirals, or, as an alter
native, that It sanction the appointment of
two acting vice admiras.
Admiral Taylor also recommends further
Congressional action for the establishment

tleships-I7--against an average num-
Der Of officers for similar ships in foreign
navies of 80 in England, a6 in France
and 90 in Germany. He figures that the
vessels now authorized by congress but
not completed will require 4o8 additional
officers to which is to be added as per
cent for officers sick or on shore duty
and 100 for casualties during the next
four years, or total for the vessels now
building Of 7s3. This number added to
the present shortage of 577, will give
1860.
The graduates from the naval acade-
mics during the next four years will be
355, leaving total deficit July I, 1906,
of 1905, not counting officers for auxil-
iaries who would be required in the event
of hostilties
In addition to the increase of midshp-
men provided for by the last congress,
Admiral Taylor therefore recommends a
further increase of one midshipman for
each member and delegate in the house
and each senator, one from the District
of Columbia and 10 annually at large.
He also recommends that the number of
lieutenant commanders be increased 40
lieutenants, senior grade, so; licutenants,
junior grade, and snsigns, $50. "

Washington, Nov. Io.-The most cry
ing need of the navy, according to the an
nual report of Admiral H. V. Taylor,
chief of the bureau of navigation, is more
officers to man our warships. He declares
that the preparations now going OH for
the mobilization of the feet for the winter
maneuvcrs in the West Indies has met the
department face to face with critical
condition due to lack OF officers, which he
says, has reached such point as to be
dangerous 10 the efficiency of the fleet.
He says that the number of officers on
our ships is less than the number on
board the ships of other navies, although
as matter of fact our ships require more
officers than the ships of other navies, be-
cause we are compelled to man our ves-
sells with green crews, having little or no
knowledge of sea life. =
He submits table showing that the
present needs of the naval service re-
serve 1900 officers, while the number on
the navy list, including midshipmen after
graduation, is only I,oa3, or All short.
This table is based upon the lowest pos
sible number of officers needed on our

Anaconda, Nov. Io.-There was neither
nonchalance, anxiety nor indifference in
the face of James McGeary when Under
Sheriff Dave Morgan brought him into
open court this morning to answer to
the charge of being the murderer Of Will
lam J. Evans superintendent of machin-
cry OF the Amalgamated company at the
Washoe smelter last July.
Attired in quiet suit Of gray, as he
sat between his attorneys, NJ. l.. Wines OF
Butte and w. II. Trppet, McGeary was
one of the last men in the court room that
the casual stranger would pick out for
the prisoner OIL the capital charge and
yet he stands accused Of one OF the most
cold -blooded and apparently unprovoled
murders that Deer Lodge county has ever
known.
-Four months confinement in the county
jail has made little change in the ap-
pearance Of the man. Perhaps he does
not look quite so worried as he did when
caught red-handed in the act of Staying
an innocent man, and made an attempt
to justify his action on what might be
termed trivial incident In the pale
face surmounted with crop OF fiery red
hair there was little expression, tinge
OF boyish immaturity, an almost imper-
ceptible trace OF moroseness.
As Cool as You Please.
When the officer brought him in he
took his seat without any self-conscious-
ness and talked with his counsel without
hesitation or embarrassment. The court
room was fairly well filed with crowd
OF curious spectators witnesses and Jurors
when Judge yelling Napton took his seat
on the bench. All eyes were turned on
McGeary who, however, seemed to be
the least conscious of being the cynosure
OF the throng. Among the spectators were
few ladies who had come to see the
young man whose crime was hardly more
remarkable in its cruelty than in its ap-
parent lack of motive.
County Attorney Duffy and Deputy At
torney ]. II. Tolan were present for the
prosecution. At 10 o'clock the court was
not quite ready to take up the case and al
adjournment was taken to 40 o'clock in
the afternoon.
When Judge Napton announced that the
jurors would be excused until that hour
the expressionless face of the prisoner
showed momentary interest, then, as il
recovering himself, assumed the same
marked composure as he walked back to
his cell i'll the cusody of the sheriff.
Interest in the Defense.
Beyond natural anxiety to see Nc
Geary in court the interest of the people in
Anaconda and Deer Lodge county centers
in the nature of the defense. While the
attorneys for the prisoner have Of course
made no statement in this direction it is
believed that the defense will be plea of
insanity.
Sheriff Conley Under Sheriff Morgan
and the deputies who nave seen a good deal
of the prisoner during the past four
months, state that his conduct during his

Of general staff to control and administer
the affairs Of the fleet to be responsible
for the personnel and to direct generally
under the secretary Of military affairs Of
the fleet and be responsible to him for its
condition.
No recommendations are made concern
ing the national naval reserve. The admiral
says the subject is still occupying the
attention Of the bureau and that the gen
cral board has been frequently consulted,
but at present the bureau Is not prepared
to make recommendations.
Much space is devoted in the report of
the necessity for the gunnery training.
Prizes are recommended for excelency in
target practice. Attention is called in
detail to the operations Of the fleets and
the work of our naval officers and men in
the waters Of the Philippines and OF the
West Indies is highly commended.
The close blockade established by the
navy in the island of Samar, he says, the
defeat of Lukban, the insurgent leader, is
largely attributable.
Progressive instructions and maneuvers
similar to those which are to take place
this winter in the Caribbean sea are to be
made a feature Of the work Of the Asiatic
squadron,

confinement has been faultless. "He has
been a model prisoner said Sheriff Con-
ley when asked about it today. He has
never given us a particle Of trouble"
Many OF the acquantances of the dead
superintendent were present in the court
room this morning. Among the witnesses
Tor the state also present were several
employees of the Washoe works, who were
either direct witnesses of the occur
renee or had some subsequent connection
with it,
McGeary comes Of respectable family
and one that is pretty well known in the
city, so that there were many who had
come to hear what his defense would be,
to see who his attorneys were and to look
on from motives of general interest, be-
cause of the publicity the case has re-
ceived.
1t is probable that some difficulty will
be encountered in securing a jury From
the venirc issued at the opening of court
last Monday Is names were left, and of
that issued and made returnable this
morning but I3 are available. 1t is not
improbable that a special venirc OF not
less than 200 names will be issued this
afternoon.
A Review Of the Crime.
The circumstances of the tragedy which
shocked the people of Anaconda and
other parts of the state where the MUIR
dered man was known, have been pub
lished in the Inter Mountain
William ]. Evans, superintendent OF
machinery at the Washoe works, and G.
II. Repath, chief engineer, left the Mon
tana hotel the morning of July 10 last
to drive to the Washoc works, reaching
there about o'clock. As the chief en-
gincer left Mr.. Evans he noticed man
come forward and accost him. Thinking
1t was some one seeking a job, he gave
the man no attention. Hardly had he
turned when the man, after a short par
ley shot the superintendent, once in the
back as he turned away and once in the
neck as he fell.
McGeary, who did the shooting, turned
and attempted to escape, while friends
went to the assistance OF the wounded
man.
John O'Mara and other employees of the
works took up the pursuit of the man
who ran down the hill and out across the
fiat near the Washoe lumber yard Turn
ing north at this point one Of the pur-
suers brought the assassin to halt with
rife shot
Meanwhile the shcriff's office had been
notified and Under Sheriff Morgan ar
rested the man, who made no resistance.
The man expressed no regret at the deed
but spoke of the superintendent having
rejected device which he claimed to
have invented to perfect the working of
portion of the machinery in the new con-
centrator.
AS soon as the physicians who were
summoned saw the wounded man they
stated there was no hope for his recovery
and message was Immediately sent to
his wife and other members of the family,

Caracas, Venezuela, Nov. Io.-Pres,-
dent Castro made a triumphal official en-
try into Caracas yesterday at the head
OF 3.aoo troops, amid the ringing of bells
and display of fireworks. President

The fight of the armies of the revolu-

One OF the most palmetto incidents OF
the unfortunate affair was the ride Of

the state in "A special train, fearing from
reports received along the route that they
would not arrive in time 10 have one

They reached Anaconda. however, about
8 o'clock and four hours later death came
to the relief Of the suffering man who
had lain on n cot at ST. AIMS hospital
IN a semi conscious condition while the
best surgeans OF the city and one from
Butte, summoned on a special train, made
desperate efforts to prolong his life.
The following day McGeary made a
statement acknowledging that he did the
shooting and giving as his reason the re-
fusnl OF the superintendent to accept his
inv .tion. The statement was signed by
the prisoner. and will be one of the import
ant pieces Of evidence offered by the prose-
cution. Before his death Mr. Evans made
dying statement which will also be pre-
SET ed at the trial
On July al McGeary was arraigned be-
fore Justice of the Peace Frank Kennedy,
and County Attorney Duffy read the com
plant to the prisoner, who took "A hours
in which to enter plea. The following
day Attorney Trippet, for the accused
man, entered plea OF not guilty and
waived examination, whereupon Justice
Kennedy bound the prisoner over to the
district court on charge Of murder.
Crime Caused Great Excitement.
Not only because of the prominence OF
the victim, but because OF his universal
popularity and kindly disposition, the
tragedy caused great excitement in the
city, amounting to almost a sensation.
Mr.. Evans had for n quarter OF cen
ttry been known as one OF the best authori-
ties in the construction and erection of
machinery in concentrating plants. In the
copper district Of Michigan, in Great Falls
where he had had charge Of the concen-
trator OF the smcltcr since 1894, and in
Anaconda, he had been recognized as a
master in this line Of mechanics.
When court reopened this afternoon
Attorney Trippett, for the defense, made
a motion that the special ycnire of az
Jurors be discharged because the calling
OF the panel had been irregular. He main
tained that as IS jurors of the regular
panel still remained the court had no
authority to issue special venire until
the others were exhausted. After hear
ing argument by County Attorney Duffy
and Attorney Wines, associate at
torney for the defense, Judge Napton sus-
tained the motion and the jurors on the
special venire were discharged.
To Got the Jury.
The names of the IS on the regular
venire were then called and the examina-
tion of the jurors commenced In FIVE
minutes this list was exhausted and court
was adjourned until tomorrow morning.
