DARTMOUTH TRAIN RoBBER EN-.
TIERS PLEA OF GUILTY.
IS PLEASED WITH SENTENCE
Will Not Be Prosecuted for Murder
Of Engineer o'NeiIl Laid
to His Charge.

Philipsburg, Mont. Sept. 22-George
f. Hammond, the train robber, was
brought from Helena last evening by
Sheriff O'Connell and arraigned in
the district court this morning on
charges of grand larceny and bur-
glary.
Hammond was neatly dressed and
appeared at ease as he entered the
courtroom surrounded by officers and
detectives. He created a favorable
impression in the crowded courtroom
and few would have suspected him
of such a daring deed. Asked by
Judge Napton if he had counsel, he
replied that during his Incarceration
at Helena he had been kept secluded
and had been unable to speak to any
body. He stated he had no means to
employ counsel at the present and
the court appointed Attorney May
wool to defend him.
Statutory time was taken to plead,
and Hammond was conducted back to
Jail.
About 6 O'Clock this evening Ham
mOnd was again taken before Judge
Napton. Hammond stated he desired
to enter a plea Of guilty to the char
ges and he vas Immediately sentenced
to Is years at nard labor in the peni-
tentiary. He will be taken to Deer
Lodge tomorrow.
1t was generally understood that the
charge of the murder of Dan O'Neill
would be preferred against Hammond,
but the officials decided, in view OF
the costs of such a trial to the county,
the murder charge would not be
pressed. Granite county is glad to
get on as easily as it has in this train
robbery case as far as the matter OF
costs is concerned. Hammond seem.
ed pleased also, that his sentence was
not more severe.
John Christie, Hammond's partner,
was taken to Deer oLdge this morn.
ing to serve his eve years. Big JEFF
O'Connell, sheriff of Lewis and Clarke
county, and Deputy Sheriff Harvey
Ffer of Deer Lodge had him in
charge. Christie was not allowed to
speak to Hammond before his de-
parture.

State Ticket Pleases.
"Our state ticket is eminently pleas
ing and satisfactory to all republi-
cans. Congressman Dixon has made
a record during his brief term which
has. called forth the most generous
praise even from his political oppon-
ents, and which has made him abso-
lutely invincible. He has accom-.
plished nor for the state in one SEES
sion Of congress than has been &C.
complished by his predecessors in
years.
"Chief Justice Brantley has well
earned the compliment conveyed by
his denomination. He has discharged
the delicate and responsible duties OF
his high office with such scrupulous
fairness and respect and regard tor
the law and precedents as to COM
mand the confidence and approval OF
all appropriated people.
I'm the Honorable William Lind
say we have a candidate of whom
every Montanan may indeed be proud.
Self-made, unimpeachable in his in
tegrity, conscientious in the discharge
of every duty, clearly in his life,
deeply interested in the material adj
vancement of the state; a man whose
word is his bond, and against whom
no breach of faith, no betrayal OF
trust or i~nsinuation of double dealing
has ever been breathed. Straightfor-
ward, honorable, upright and manly
such is William Lindsay. And let
it not be forgotten by any man or
woman whose home is here, whose
and daughters are growing up
among us, and all who love honesty
and respect probity, that at a time
when corruption held high carnival
in our legislative halls and MANHOOD
and honor and state pride were being
swept aside in the storm of Lciharv
and official venality. William Lindsay
stood impregnable as a rock in his
simple honesty and refused to he
swerved from his duty Ito his state.
to his party or to, himgelf.
"Our entire ticket is popular and
clean. 1t stands for.lefnciency, homes.
ty and economy, While our party as
a whole stands ft9r good government,
for preserving and protecting the fair
fame and good name of our snlendid
young commonwealth, and for the
pest interest," Of every section and

so f2alr as the labor party is con-
cernee it does not represent the true
Interests Of labor, but only the Office
seeking portion. The recent labor
convention held at Hamilton in which
every trade and industry of labor was
fully represented, decided emphatical-
ly that it would not endorse any
party OF any candidate. In view OF this
fact the political labor con-
vention held here yesterday has little
or no weight with the great body of
toilers of Montana.

sippi Legislature adjourned today after
session covering two months and a
half. Appropriation bills aggregating six
million dollars covering the next two
years were passed Among the important
legislation of the session was the adop-

were six bills which failed to reach the
Governor in time for his signature One
Of them is an important measure, giving
force to the constitutional amendment
voted by the people directing that the
poll taxes shall be retained in the coun-
ties in which collected. This may cause
a mudde in the distribution Of the school

but there is nothing TO give it force. The
Governor announced today that he would
not sign the bill confirming the merger Of
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and South
ern so far as Mississippi is concerned,
but will hold it UP for two years. Under

THE DEATH OF HARRY A. HAYES,
WHO PASSED AWAY TUESDAY.
No Event Since the Fire Has So Shocked the
People Of Aberdeen as the Death Of Its
Popular Young Banker. Flags Fly at Half

After five weeks battle with typhoid
fever, complicated with other troubles,
Harry A. Hayes departed this life. at the
Aberdeen General hospital, at 10 AS
O'Clock Tuesday morning. March %,
1904; aged Al years, II months and 26
days. While quite young man in
years, perhaps the death Of no other in
dividual in Aberdeen would have caused
the sum total OF regret that has been oc.
casioned by that of Mr.. Hayes. So
closely has he been identified with all
the commercial interests OF Aberdeen,
aud, it may be said, of Gfays lIarbor,
for the past fifteen years that his loss is
a serious one, not only to his bereaved
family and distressed relatives, but to
his numerous business associates. In
fact, it has been we'll said, that it would
be impossible TO conceive Of an individu-
al on Grays Harbor whose taking off
would cause more genuine mourning
than Harry A. Hayes.
