Friends of Bob ShadWelI, SERVING
Time for MansIauehter.
RESULT OF GAMBLING QUARREL
ShadWelI Had Three Trials and Was
Twice Sentenced to Hanu-His
Last Sentence Which Was Accept
ed Was Four Years for Cold
BIooded Murder.

Helena, Oct. 29.-One Of the strong
est applications for pardon which
has ever been presented to the gov
eTnor Of Montana is that of Robert
e. Sba1well now serving a four-year
sentence for niapslaughter. which
has been laid before Governor Joseph
X. Toole The petition for Shadwells 5
pardon was presented in person by
the mother of the convict who made
touching appeal to the governor for
clemency.
ShadWell's case is one of the most
remarkable in the history Of criminal
Jurisprudence. Shadwell had three
trials and was once sentenced to die
on the scaffold. In the spring Of
1897, it was on the same day that
Riley shot and killed Patrick Largey,
Shadwel shot and killed Martin
James O'Conner, the crime taking
place in Butte. A few months later
Shadwell was tried, convicted of mur
der in the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged. His attorneys APP
pealed the case to the supreme court
and secured a reversal OF the lower
court. On ShadWelIS second trial
he was convicted of murder in the
second degree and sentenced 10 a
life term in the penitentiary Again
his attorneys took the case to the
higher court and again the district
court was reversed On the third
trial. Shadwell was convicted Of man
slaughter and was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary. He has
served about one year Of his sen
tence.
Scores of letters have been pre-
scented to Governor TOole in support
OF % application for Shadwells par
don Among these it is noticed that
maay of them are from jurors who
yed in the case at different times.
Il is noticed that a majority of the
iurors who sat in the three trials
have sent letters asking for the par
ion of the man they adjudged guilty.
In addition to this there are per
sonal letters from State Senators Dan
Tewey and ]. M. Kennedy, from Con-
ley and McTague. the state prison
contractors. from Sheriff Quinn and
former Sheriffs Furey and Lloyd
from Chief of Police Mulholand and
score of police officers. Among
others who have written personal let
ters in support of the application are
Judge w. Y. Pemberton. d. J. Hen
messy. Postmaster George w. irwin.
and J. A. Davis, r. R. Kinds, Louis
zimmerman. Thomas c. NOyes, f. a.
Nichols and a large number Of others.
With the application for pardon
three general petitions, signed by up
wards Of 900 taxpayers Of Silver
Bow county, were presented.

AN OPEN LETTER
IN Regard to Game, Indians, Etc. in
Western Montana.

Atlanta. Mont, Oct. 3O.-Deputy
Came Warden Boucher has Just made
a round up Of the Indians in the Wolf
Creek basin, and from what we can
learn every Indian has permit from
indian Agent Smoad of the Flathead
reservation To hunt off the reserva-
tion until December /.
There are about - Indian families
camped between Pleasant Valley and
Jennings. Each Indian has from Is
to 20 pack horses and they will go
lack all loaded down with venison.
Giving each male Indian low aver
age, he will kill from 20 to 40 deer,
and there are at least 100 hunters in
the outiit,I can figure closely how
many deer they will Kill. We know
10 a certainty that one Indian killed
3t deer last year two miles below At
lanta. This years raid by the In
dians will about clean out the deer
in this part OF the county and there
will De no need for game wardcns
and game laws.

lays Indians with permits from Mr.,
Smead are all right and cannot I've az
rested.
Whore does the new game law
come in. that an Indian has no right
e.. IL,
ton? Has that law been passed on
by the higher courts of Montana and
declared as unconstitutional? No
What right has Game Warden Scott
and Indian Agent Smead to say that
the law is unconstitutional and make
laws Of their own in regard to the
Indiansr What can a deputy game
warden do when he is instructed to
let Sm"a Is Indians alone@
The fact Of The matter is, the game
laws in Montana are a dead letter
The income from taxpayers last
year for the protection of game was
about $4,000; revenues derived from
licenses for non-residents and Other
sources brought the fund up to $24,-
600
Mr. Scott, the game warden draws
a salary of 81 500 IA year and 81, 800
for expenses. Has any one seen Mr..
Scott travelling outside of a Pullman
car? Why does not this high salariCd
official get out in the woods and see
that his deputies are doing their duty
and make some move to protect the
game? When the Indians cOngre-
gate for hunting expedition. why
not send deputy in that vicinity
with instructions to remain there and
see that each Indian does not kill
more than three deer?
The fact of the matter is they pay
no attention to the Indians, but chase
over the country after some poor
white man that has possibly killed a
deer cut of season for meat for his
family. when the game killed by
hunters is not drop in the bucket
compared with what the Indians
slaughter.
We will give Mr. Boucher, deputy
game warden for this district credit
