puRoED WITH FIRE.
Miserable Hove, Known as Lesman's charnel
House Goes Up In Smoke.

Like Banquo's ghost the Lesman case
will not down. Twice this week the
second hand junk dealer has been re-
called by the public in connection with
the death and inhuman treatment last
January Of his sister, Mrs. Annie Gallus.
The case against him in district court,
by the institution OF which Undertaken
Underwood secured judgment for
the rough coffin in which the woman
was buried, was on trial this week, and
on Wednesday night the log shack in
which she suffered and died went up in
smoke. The cabin was situated in the
southern part Of town and the blaze
which destroyed it loomed up until it
looked as if a big fire was raging in that
part of the city. 1t was about 1880
when the fire was discovered and the fire
department arrived in time to keep
standing the walls of the miserable howell,
as monument to Lesman's infamy.
The shack was unoccupied and BE-
longed to Gallus, although he gave the
county bill Of sale Of it in payment Of
d railroad ticket which was to be fur
nished him at the time Of his departure
for Dakota last spring. A day or 50 be-
fore he left, however, Chairman Nutting
Of the board Of county commissioners
learned that ticket for Gallus, sent
him by relatives in Dakota, was at the
depot. When confronted with this, the
fellow still urged that he be furnished
transportation by the county, saying
, that it he used the ticket sent him from
Dakota Ne would have to work out the
amount when he got back there. Being
able bodied, the commissioners concluded
that a little work for change would be
good thing for him, and SO he finally
left the city on the Dakota ticket.
As the shack was untenated, and as
D there had been complaints about the
hovel being in filthy condition and dis
ease breeding, il is presumed that some
. body applied the torch to the premises
in order to rid the old town of it's pres
g ence.

REFUSED FINAL PAPERS.
Judge Henry OF District Court Advises Two
Finlanders to Learn English.

Judge Henry on Monday refused to
grant naturalization papers to two Firms
who presented themselves with their
first papers, and, without a proper know
ledge of the English language, desired
to become full citizens of the United
States. His honor questioned them
long enough to disclose their inability to
comprehend the English language,
whereupon he refused to admit them to
citizenship and advised them to await
the next term of court and meanwhile
endeavor to learn the language OF their
adopted country.

RED LODGE vs.. BILLINGS.
Games Arranged to Be Played at Billings To-
morrow and Sunday.


Manager Frank Fox yesterday made
arrangements for the Red Lodge team to
play at Billings next Saturday and Sun
day. with the understanding that the
Billings team is to play return engage
ment here in the near future. While
there is feeling upon the part of many
Red Lodge people that the local team
should insist that Billings should play
here before the Black Diamonds go to
the wool town, there was need that the
team should be employed and the treas
ury kept running, SO Manager Fox came
to conclusions with the Billings manage
ment yesterday and accepted their invi-
tation to go there for the two games
No other games have as yet been ar
ranged.

Another Judgment Against a Brute.

Undertaken Underwood will collect
from James Lesman bill Of S54.5O Tor
the burial Of the second hand mans sis
ter, Mrs. Annie Gallus, whose death last
January, and the attending circumstan-
ces of her burial so melted public wrath
against her husband and the inhuman
brother who refused out Of his means to
provide casket for the interment that
Lesman was arrested on a charge of
criminal neglect and fined $500
| A jury yesterday afternoon made short
work of rendering verdict in the under
takers favor and, as the costs 60 with
the verdict, Lesman will be called upon
to pay over S1OO more before he gets out
81 the predicament in which his cupid
ity placed him.
The claim of the defense, represented
by George w. Burke and r. G. Wood
ward was that there was no contract
between Lesman and the undertaker;
that while Lesman went to Underwood's s
house late at night and told him his sis
ter was dead, that he acted as messen-
ger only and that his action could not
be interpreted as ordering the coffin.
They also claimed that since Lesman
had been fined for not taking care Of
his sisters body he could not now be
held to pay for her burial.
Two women, neighbors Of the Gallus
at the time the unfortunate woman was
dumped into the little hovel the after
noon of the night she died, testified that
! Lesman arrived at the Gallus home
I about 8 o'clock and that he remained
there until midnight before he left with
! the intention Of getting an undertaken
/; Mr.. Underwood and his wife both testi
! fled that Les1pan came to their rooms
! and had him go to the house to care to-
!; the remains. When the defendant en-
! deavored to show that Underwood locked
! the house and would not turn over thu
; remains to members of the family, th'
undertaker testified that he did not per
sonally lock up the shack, but that b
requested it to be locked in order tina
! the woman's little children could not b
!! left alone with the body, as he had foun'

! the serum that oozed from the putrify
! ing corpse, tearfully tugging at thei
dead mothers dress in their vain and in
nocent effort to awaken her SO that sh
! might get them something to eat.
Under the circumstances it is not su,
: prising that the verdict which obtaine
was rendered without delay. The cas-
was on appeal from Justice Chattield
court, where verdict was given in Le:
mans favor. Attorney George W. Pie
son appeared for the appellant.

Senator Munson on the Press.

"What feeling of wnipped-currism
very large majority of the country
papers of the state must suffer at the
present moment. How we'll they
have been able to miSguide the honest
voters of the state is told in the caucus
and convention returns. In most of
the counties where the newspapers
were bought body and soul by the
aristocrats Of Milwaukee the returns
are fatal to the cause OF the boiling
confederate society. 1t has been the
worst black eye the newspapers have
received in the history of the state
1t has rightfully caused diStrust
that will require long term of years
to remove. A newspaper is valuable
only and entitledtO confidence when
it is hOneStwith it's constituents. It
has influence only when it is known
to reflect public sentiment as a teacher
of principles compatible with public
veal. The paper that is known to
respond to the beck and call of some
political bosses is out of date. Such
have been taught severe lesson in
the present campaign. The publish
erS are not SO much at fault as the
men who inaugurated the big money
game and subsidized the press. Let
this put an end to the prostitution OF
newspaper columns for a pc litical
price,"

The saengerfest at Marshfield last

The SaengerfeSt at MarShheld last
Sunday was a grand success. About
seyenty-five from this city were
present and report good time. The
singing by the different vereinS was
fine, the music by the Second Regi-
ment band was first-class, and the
treatment accorded the visitors could
not have been better. In the base
ball game our boys were showed under,
the score being II to l. FaultlesS base
ball was responsible for the result and
the wonder is not that the boys were
beaten so badly but that they sue
ceeded in scoring at all. Marshfeld
played perfect ball and would have
won even if their opponents had been
a league team. Pitcher Akey, of the
locals, deserves much credit for the
heroic manner in which he took the
terrific gruelling which was meted
out to him.
