DENIES EVERYTHING,
Deposition of Ex-Governor Taylor Is
Read in the Powers Case.

| Georgetown, KY, Aug. 20.-As eyi.
dence in the case of Caleb Powers
his counsel this afternoon filed the
deposition of former Governor w. 6.
Taylor, of Kentucky, now a fugitive
and taken at indianapolis. The de.
position is taken in response to 112
questions direct and no cross inter
rogatories and 1t is to be considered
one question at a time by Special
Judge Robbins. Forty-one questions
were read and answers given at the
afternoon sessions of court and but
six OF them ruled out as collateral for
some reason. The deposition contains
general denial by Taylor to charges
preferred against him, TO the indict-
ment found against him in Franklin
county, for completely I'm the murder
of William Goebel or of any knowl-
edge of the conspiracy with any per-
sons indicted. charged or arrested or
with any other persons or members
of the general assembly. Or knowledge
of any attempt to intimidate legisla-
tors. or to force them to do aught
than justice and right in the settle
ment of the contest for the governor
ship. He denies that he had any of
the incriminating conversations alleg-
ed to have been held with him by
Commonwealth Witnesses w. II. Coul-
ton, Wharton Golden Frank Creil and
Robert Mobiles, and adds that he new
er saw or talked to Creil in his life.
The conversations related by COM
monwealth's witnesses are taken up
separately and denied in detail. The
deponent denies that bringing of the
armed body of men from the noun
tains in January, 1900, was for other
purposes than to peacefully petition
the legislature. He declares, that so
far as he knows, they were orderly
and well behaved and that they re-
turned home the night of the day of
their arrival for the sole reason thnt
they had accomplished their purposes
to assemble on the steps Of the capi-
tol and petition the Legislature not to
rob men they had voted for as nomi-
nees of the Republican party. The
deponent takes on himself responsi-
bility for their coming. saying that IL
was originally his purpose to have
about 1000 men visit Frankfort each
day for the last few days the contest
was pending, not to intimidate legis-
lators. but to show them the extent
of the feeling out of the state In the
matter. He declared Caleb Powers to
be innocent. so far as he knows oi
any completely in the murder of Goe.
bel and says that it was for that rea-
son he gave him pardon.

Six Hundred Sheep.

today that the crime which Bill Stew
art, who was arrested mere Monday,
must answer to. is assisting in the
stealing of some 400 head of sheep
from a sheepman named Fitzpatrick
of Harlowton. Stewart and his broth
er, who run a band OF sheep in that
section of thee ountry. are alleged TO
have picked up the sheep on the
range last January. changed the
brands and allowed them to mix with
their herds Soon after Fitzpatrick
missed his sheep they are said to
have been found among the Stewart
Brothers bands.
The case is said % have been set.
tied up at the time by the accused
men paying for the sheep at the rate
of Sc per head, the owner considered
this a good price and no complaint
was made against the alleged thieves.
Within the past week there has been
considerable trouble in that section
of the country over the right TO GER
tain ranges. The Stewart brothers
were mixed up in this and II Is said
that some one. in order to play even
with them entered a complaint to the
stock association Of theft, and the as
sociation has caused the arrest of
both the brothers and will bring a
charge Of grand larceny against them.
The stealing is one of the largest
thefts of the kind which has taken
place in this section of the state for
some time. and as both the accused
parties are well known among the
stockmen throughout this section,
much interest will be taken In the
case. Under Sheriff Williams OF
Meagher county arrived today and ex'
poets to leave this evening with his
prisoner.

STILL AFTER CURRY.

Great Falls. Aug. 22.-The suggcs.
ton that Harvey Logan. alias Kid
Curry. desperate. jailbreaker and all
around bad man. is suspected Of be-
ing somewhere in the northern part
of Montana has caused considerable
uneasiness in quarters where Curry
was talked about rather freely after
IL had appeared as sure that he would
spend the rest OF his life in a Ten
nessee prison.
While the bad man was living In
the Little Rocy section. all tongues
were quiet. whether friend or enemy,
for obvious reasons. but following his
incarceration many talked who now
would sleep better If they had not.
That Curry headed for this section
