He was charged with seduction ami
for the offence he Is now serving
one-year term in the penitentiary at
Deer Lodge in Montana There Is ev.
identity feeling in Bozeman, Mr.. Har-
ris's home, that he is the victim Of a
to ruin and deprive him OF
influence which he seems to have ex-
erted in Montana. He was an aggres-
sive missionary and aroused the envy
Of some people who were glad Of the
to push him to the fall.
That his enemies had much to do with
his prosecution is made apparent by
the admission Of the Bozeman Chroni-
Gle, which states that there are not
lacking respectable men and women
who stuck to Harris to the last, and
still appear to believe in his inno-
cence." A letter from Rev. S. B. Har-
per, formerly Of Rock Hill, now living
at Helena, Montana, serves also to
this opinion. Responding
to a letter written him by one Of our
asking for information, Mr..
Harper in a letter received few days
ago, says: Helena, Montana, May %,
1903. Dear Bro: Yours of the 23d in
stant to hand. In reply, will say that
the report which you speak Of Is true.
Brother Harris was convicted on May
10th Of seduction. The next day he
was sentenced to one year in the state
prison. He has been there about two
weeks. I wish to add, however, that
1t is my firm belief that an innocent
man is being made to suffer for the
sins Of another. was In Bozeman and
the trial. heard all the evil
dence, and know all the facts, pro and
con, and feel sure that Barr Is inno-
cent Of this grave charge. There was
q line Of evidence, which, II 1t had been
ever; but because Of some technical
point it was excluded. I believe this
was the elimination Of long and per-
sistent effort on the part Of some to
ruin Harris. 1t certainly is a very un-
fortunate affair-unfortunate for the
man who Is made to suffer, and so un-
fortunate for the good name Of the
church that must suffer irreparable
harm in the mind Of the general pub
lie. I intend at some later time to
make a strong appeal to Governor
Toole for O pardon. I can enlist the
aid Of some very influential men here
to that end. The whole thing Is long
story and cannot go into details here.
Yours in Christian love. S. B. Har-
per-" The Bozeman Chronicle says,
1T Is understood that there is likely to
be no attempt at a new trial." Posi-
bly, so, but we are told that the Odd
Fellows Of this city have taken the
matter up, and are arranging to have
the whole affair sifted to the bottom.

some wheat that is three and three
fourths feet tall with large full heads.
Mr.. Grant had this wheat sown on land
OIL which corn and peas had been plow-

would make nothing. Mr.. Grant knows
as much about wheat as he knows
about the weather, and therefore has
