Missoula, April 22.-Judge Webster
and several of the Missoula attorneys
departed Monday evening for Ham,
ilton, where the judge is holding the
regular April term OF the Ravalli
county district court. The first case
of Importance to come up is the case
OF the state against Fgbert Fausset,
on the charge of rape. Miss Tillman
being the complaining witness. This
case is called for trial today.
Fausset was arrested early last
summer on the charge and gave bonds
in the sum of $500 for his appearance
before justice for preliminary
hearing. Before the date set for the
hearing Fausset skipped the country,
going to Yakima, Wash, where he
went to work for soma large fruit
growers The Ravalli officers lost all
trace of him and probably never
would have located and arrested him
had it not been for an inadvertent act
cf Fausset in telling some of his fel-
low employees that he was from
Stevensville. One day Fausset packed
box of fruit, which was to be ship
ped to Jake D. Miser, the Stevensivllle
merchant, and remarked to his fellow
laborers that the box was going back
to his old home. When the shipping
clerk made out the bill he placed a
notation on the same to the effect that

last eight or nine years SO had the
state grown and expanded.
Captain Bond, who was occupying
a seat in the body of the house with
the members of the fire department,
was now asked to take his place on
the stage. The captain complied and
briefly and entertainingly related the
history of the fire department. He
read the list of names OF those who
organized themselves into the first
fire company that had an existence in
the city. Some people thought that
the city did not need fire department
because OF the infrequency OF fires.
To show their mistake he read from
the department records which showed
that during the last fiscal year the
alarms had averaged four month.
A generous round of applause was
accorded the speaker at the conclu-
sion of his address. Another selec-
ton by the orchestra followed and
Mayor George introduced Superinten-
dent Brother OF the city public schools.
The sentiment assigned to him was
Good Citizenship" A city could be
prosperous and yet be lacking in good
citizenhip, said the speaker, as was
exemplified in the cases of st. Louis,
Chicago and New York. After hon.
csty courage was a prerequisite OF
good citizenship. Common sense was
another necessity and the city pos
sessing men blessed with those at
tributes could boast of good citizen

egated the duty of bringing up the

PROBING The TRUTH
Second Day In Hayden Trial Is
Reached.

testimony OF an expert nature In
troduced by the state occupied the
greater portion of the forenoon in the
Hayden murder trial today. The
wound from which John p. Mcbride
died, the treatment of it, the manner
OF operation performed and what
might have been the result had the
operation been more promptly resort
ed to were subjects upon which wit
nesses were questioned at length.
Doctor Cliff Lindsay was the first
witness called. He testified to having
attended Mcbride on the night OF the
shooting; described the nature of the
wound and told of removing the bull
let, which was close under the skin
OF the front part of the thigh, having
passed through the thigh from the
back The story of the shattered
bone was repeated by the witness.
He stated that the wounded man died
Of septicemia; that septicemia fol-
lowed the amputation of the leg. In
answer to q more direct question as
tc the cause of death, he answered:
"If he hadn't been shot, he wouldn't
have had to have his leg amputated."
The witness was closely cross-ex-
amined by Lawyer Johnston of the
defense. During the cross-examina'
ton, matters that would have been
commonplace in ordinary discussion
were enveloped in sesquipedalian
verbiage that provoked amusement
So marked did the levity become that
lawyers, witnesses and spectators had
to be called to order and remined by
the court of the gravity Of the case
on trial.
The gist of the testimony adduced
by the quest ons of the defense was
to the effect that the operation should
have been performed the morning at
| ter the shooting. The witness stated
that it was his desire to amputate the
4 wounded leg at that time, but the
patient objected and was upheld ir
his objections by his father. Witness
testified that Doctors Rinehart ant
Owens, who assisted him in the case
agreed with him that the leg shoult
be amputated the morning after the
shooting. The patient was at tina
time in good condition to be operated
upon and it was the DOCTORS belle
that the man would have lived had the
operation been performed then. 1
was only when convinced that deatl
would be the result of delay that thu
father Of the wounded man consented
to amputation.
The next witness called was Doctol
J. H. Rinehart His testimony was il
part corroboration of that OF Docto
Lindsay, as regarded the nature ant
treatment of the wound and the sub
sequent amputation of the leg. HI
stated that the gun shot wound wa
the primary cause of death. On cross
examination by Lawyer Kingsbury h
testified to the good condition OF tn
patient the morning after the shoot
ing and to the objection made whel
it was desired by the doctors to ampu
tate the leg.
James Mcbride, father of the dea
man, identified pair of trousers an
pair of overalls as garments worl
by his son on the night of the shoo
ing. The clothes had been brough
from the hospital to the McBrid
home !,y Miss Mary Mcbride.
