From THURSDAYS Daily Gazette.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Thanks to the kindness of heart of
Judge Loud, and possibly the inter
vention of persons who do not believe
him to be totally beyond reclaim, Roy
Huffman will not go to the reform
school.
In accordance with the certifcation
Of Justice Mann, before whom he
pleaded guilty to a complaint charg-
ing him with petty larceny, Roy was
arraigned in the district court, yester-
day morning. Upon his representa-
ton that he was in court without
parents or guardian, Judge Loud made
an order appointing George Bennig-
hoff guardian pro TEN. and ordered the
boy to be brought before him again at
2 o'clock.
At the designated time Roy made
his appearance under guard of Depu.
ty Sheriff Robbins and in a few min
utes afterward Mr.. Bennington enter
ed. He took the boy aside and a
lengthy conversation enSued between
the TWO. At first Roy was inclined to
maintain the air of Indifference and
defiance which was characteristic of
him when he was brought back from
Livingston. Gradually he began to
soften under the earnest, serious talk
given him by his newly made guardian
and a perceptible change was notice
able in his bearing.

intended to send him and the class of

GETS OFF EASY.
Jesse Smithey Pleads Minority and
Goes to Reformatory.

NN~J - ANAAy NoASIISs
Because he is older, much older
than he, Jesse Smithey, his Jail COM
panion is not favored by fortune to the
extent that Roy Huffman enjoys the
smiles Of that tickle, old dame. He
is booked for the reform school,. But
even in this regard he is not wholly
unfortunate, for if appearances are
not mighty deceptive in his case he
has arrived at the age when those
who are guilty of the %offenses he has
committed usually find themselves
in for terms in state prison.
Smithey was a pal of Lon Kilby and
Joined him in many of the forays on
sheep camps and other depredations
which led to their arrest and eventu-
ally to the death of Kilby at the hands
of a sheriff's posse. He was arrested
and brought in from Musselshell a
day or SO after Kilby had broken Jail.
The charge against him was burglary,
breaking into a sheepherder's wagon,
III 4dCI d uul1UcI Ol Lu6m. After MS
arrest he gave his age as 10 years.
but his parents since then declared
him to be less than 10, and, further
more, signifed their ability to swear
tC such a statement.
This came to the ears of the county
attorney and knowing that in the
event it was proved that the defend
ants age raj as given by his parents,
conviction would be impossible, so he
pursued different tactics. He caused
Smithey's araignment before Justice
Fraser yesterday afternoon on the
charge of petty larceny. Smithey
pleaded guilty and was held to the
district court with a recommendation
that he be committed to the reform
school.
Later in the day the boy" was ar
ralgned and an order made commit
ting him in accordance with the rec
o~mmendation of the lower court.

office, saying a letter was there for
him which gave evidence Of having
been tempered with and it was desir-
able that he should open it in the
presence of the postmaster. He read
lily accompanied the man and when
at the postofice was asked to step in
to Captain Perkins room. Here a
letter was given him and the captain
engaged him in conversation long
enough to permit a messenger to be
sent for the lady to whom he had
been writing. She suddenly appear
ed before him and identified him as
the man who had been in her store
the night before and who had acknowl-
edged having written the anonymous
letters to her.
Banta is Overcome.
With this Captain Perkins informed
Bantam that he was under arrest. No
sooner had the words been spoken
than Banta fell in a dead faint onto
the floor. Water was applied and in
a few minutes he recovered and con-
versed with the captain about his
position. He practically admitted his
guilt by saying that he was a victim
to passion and begged piteously to be
permitted to go, saying the shock
would kill his wife and that she and
his children would be disgraced.
Of course, this awaited him nothing
and later he was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Fraser,
who fixed his bond at $500 for his ap-
rearance this morning. At a late
hour he had not succeeded in secur-
ing bondsmen and was committed.
Banta is a comparative stranger
here, having arrived only a short time
ago from Missoula. He lives with his
wife on a piece Of rented land about
two miles west Of the city.

Authorities Unable to Secure Clue to
Van Camps Whereabouts.

Authorities Unable t. Secure Clue to
Van Camps Whereabouts.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Up to last evening the sheriff's Of
flee had failed to receive any informa-
ton concerning Van Camp, the Phil
ippine veteran ana alleged forger.
AS previously published in The Ga
zette, the last heard concerning him
was at Laurel, where he took a west
bound passenger train last Sunday,
having bought a ticket at that place
for Livingston. Telephone commun-
ication with the crew of the train, es-
tablished at Butte, was resultant of
decidedly unsatisfactory information.
The conductor did not know where the
missing man left the train, while one
of the brakemen gave it as his be-
lief that he got off at Big Timber, and
still another that he went as far as
Logan. The fact that the Livingston
officers were unable to obtain any
trace of him at that place is accepted
as evidence that he did not linger
there, but went on and is now prob
ably out of the state.
1t is accepted here that he contin-
ued as far as Butte and there left the
train and proceeded south on the
Oregon Short Line, intending to make
connections at Pocatello or Ogden
with one bound for the coast.

WILL NOT LAND IN REFORM
SCHOOL,.
COMES FOR HIM
Judge Loud Permits His Return to
Former Home at Sturqis
City. ~

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
For the first time since MS arrest
Roy Huffman has shown evidence Of
breaking down and that he realizes
his position at last.
Yesterday afternoon he was arraign-
ed before Judge Mann on the charge
OF petty larceny, the stealing of a sad
die from the barn of P. B. Moss of
this city. He had had a talk with
Under Sheriff Sayles and agreed to
plead guilty, with the understanding
that he was to be held to the district
court for commitment to the reform
school. In charge of Deputy Robbins
he was brought into court, smiling
and laxative as usual. To a reporter
he talked freely about men whom
both knew at Sturgis and in response
to a question as to how he liked the
prospects of incarceration in a state
institution he declared that he did
not care where they sent him. When
the complaint was read to him he
freely admitted that he had taken the
saddle as charged, and this was inter-
preted as his plea of guilty.
1t was after the court ordered him
held that he broke down and wept
like the child that he is. He struggled
manfully to regain his accustomed
composure, but failed and left the
court room still crying, but without
saying a word.
Before his arraignment he referred
to the killing of Kilby, but without any
resentment toward the members of
the posse. In fact he declared that
the officers had only done their duty,
as they called on the dead outlaw
three times to surrender and he had
answered with shots from his rifle.
H shot first" said roy, "and he got
what he deserved" He admitted that
he had been badly frightened, while
the shooting was going on, and also
said he knew that probably a bad end
would have overtaken him hal he
bCCA pei LilLlCu W ColiCluuG III LIC COll-
pany of men OF the Kilby kind. 1t
was this talk and a realization CT the
future in store for him that probably
caused the boy to finally yield to
childish emotion and fear.
Eleven years of age is rather youth
full for a criminal and those who saw
him as the weeping, frightened CHI lid
could but feel sorry for him and re-
greet that fate had not seer fit to deal
with him otherwise. To them it seem
ed a case demanding the control of a
parent, more than the Intervention of
the law and the influences OF a good
home, rather than the correctional
methods of a state. If all the facts
were known it might, perhaps, cause
a different view to be taken of Roy
Huffman's unfortunate situation and
the blame that now seems all to at
tach to him might go elsewhere. 1t
is difficult to conceive a chilli of his
age as totally irreclaimable and en-
tirely beyond parental control or the
authority of those who may be his
legal guardians.
