Townsend Was Asleep.

When in Lewistown last week e
w. King related some of the anus
ing experiences Of the Helena excur
sionists on their return trip TO the
capital. He said that at each town
of any Importance through which the
train passed. a considerable number
OF the excursionists would alight and
headed by the band, meet the citizens
of the town, upon several of these oc
casions a short address being de
livered by some townsman and re
sponded to by some of the Helena
speakers.
Following this custom. when the
train reached Townsend, the county
seat of Broadwater county, about 1880
Sunday evening, about $50 of the ex
~cursionists got off and as the band
struck up, the men fell into line fol
a short march. But to their surprise
no considerable number of Townsend
citizens were in sight; in fact there
were very few. the men apparently
all having gone to church or not ye'
returned from a Sunday fishing eX
cursion. So. after proceeding a short
distance, DIR. Eggleston, of Helena
mounted a wagon and taking the par
of the mayor of Townsend, welcomed
the Helena business men and extend
ed to them the freedom of the city
Senator Carter responded and follow
ing him several other Helena gentle
men contributed to the gayeties o
the occasion. Then. turning about
the jolly crowd, boarded their traiI
and proceeded on TO the next stop
1T was all very amusing said Mr.
King.

the cast shortly after noon Friday
and were out nine hours before agree
ing upon a verdict. Judge Cheadle
has not yet sentenced Koch but will
do so this week. County Attorney
o. w. Belden conducted the case
alone and the conviction was due very
largely to his excellent handling Of
the case.
The case of the state VS.. Frank
Biglen, charged with horse stealing
was next up for trial and was dispos.
ed of Saturday. Biglen and Barney
Hedigan were accused of having driy.
en- away and killed five head of horses
belonging to James Anderson. of Gilt
Edge, the alleged crime having been
committed October 18th. The case
of the state rested chiefly upon the
testimony of Anderson, John Peppard
and Carrie Frost. Anderson stated
that on the evening of the 18th Big.
leE and Hedigan came to his barn
and got their horses and that they
returned about 3 O'Clock the next
morning. Miss Carrie Frost testified
that about the middle OF November.
while riding home from a dance, Big
len told her that he was suspected
Of having been implicated in the theft
of the Anderson horses. The state
produced other testimony TO show
that Biglen said that he first became
aware Of the suspicion against MIN
the next day after the horses were
found, which was either the last day
OF November or the first day of De-
cember. The defense put on a num-
Der OF witnesses to prove an alibi.
The case went to the jury about 10
o'clock Saturday night and the jury
was out but forty minutes before re.
turning a verdict of not guilty and
Biglen was discharged. The case
against Hedigan being the same as
that against Biglen. was dismissed.
The case of the state VS.. Rawton
Is being tried today, nothing having
been done yesterday owing to the
dismissal of the Hedigan case, which
vas set for trial yesterday.

STEWART And NIXON.

When Stewart refrigerated from the
Silver party, he alleged rs II reason that
his change Of heart came from q sudden
influx OF gold from the Klondike. The
fleod Of the precious metal caused mor
money per capita to be circulated and
Sir William concluded that enough had
come his way to induce him to turn his
back upon silver and the teachings Of
Bryan for all time.
When George Nixon concluded to
abandon the Silver camp, he also found
a reason for the faith that WIS i'll him.

When Stewart walked ont OF the
ranks OF the Republican party, he Iii.

Uncle sam. LIt,Ir Hru.h with Japan

UncI, SANS LItii- Itrush with Japan.
The war in the Far East has brought
out numerous reminders that this
country once had Il little exchange OF
shots with Japan. 1t was during our
civil Wa, before Japan had emerged
from her semi barbarous condition, and
the MikadO had given orders for the ex-
pulsion OF foreigners from his empire.
Some Japanese clansmen, who had
fortified the straits Of Shimonseki. one
night fired upon IN American merchant
steamer, the Pembroke, which found
safety in flight. \ French dispatch
boat in attempting the passage OF the
straits, and also u Dutch cruiser, were
likewise fired upon.
At that time the Wyoming, m Ameri-
can cruiser, happened to be in japanese
waters, and learning of the attack upon
the Pembroke, Commander David Nc.
Donegal took the n vessel into the
straits to iailict punishment tos the act
Of aggression. The Wyoming was fired
upon by the Japanese vessels, and at
once. went into action, steaming through
the passage and engaging both the
ships and the fort. Two of the enemy's
vessels were sunk by shots from the
American, and the shore batteries were
silenced. The firing lasted over M hour
and the cruiser was Int i'll many places.
Six 81 her men were killed and four
wounded.
Had the Wyoming been defeated and
the Americans captured, they would
have been obliged TO choose between
suicide and decapitation, according to
the ancient custom Of Japan, then in
full force. For this reason Commander
McDougal had given orders to blow up
the ship with all on board, rather than
surrender in case the Japs were VIC
t%orious,
Before these events occurred "a treaty
existed between this country and Japan,
and America was represented at ieddo
by an American minister. When Sec.
rotary Seward was informed Of what &C.
cured, he ordered that indemnity he de-
manded, and tho treaty stipulations oh.
served, The government of Japan
complied with the requirements and
peace has since prevailed between the
two countries Sacramento Bee
