WORK BEGUN ON SEWER.
City Council Holds Special Meeting
and Changes Contract.

A special meeting of the city coun-
ell was held last Thursday evening
for the purpose of ~effecting certain
changes in the contract.
Mayor Eldridge and all members
of the council except Aldermen
Smith and Hemphill were present.
The only business transacted was
the making OF an alteration in the
sewer contract, whereby the lateral
sewers from the nearest parallel al.
ley north and the nearest parallel al
ley south Of Main street connecting
with the main sewers are changed
in size from six inches to eight inch,
es. This new section in the contract
was arranged satisfactorily with Con,
tractor Kennedy.
Quite a lengthy discussion was had
regarding the system by which pri
yate parties may connect with the
sewer, where the city has not placed
sewer lines. The most favorably re.
ceived suggestion was that property
owners might make connection with
the sewer lines, the city and the
owner 10 bear an equal share of the
expense.
Contractor Kennedy's men began
work in the Crowley field on the
north side of the city Thursday morn,
ing excavating for the main sewer,
which will be laid along Third ave.
nue.. The work Is progressing well.

MUST SERVE
THREE YEARS
Ira Booth, After Trying to Work a
Huge Bluff, Gives UP and
Pleads Guilty.
SHOWS BIG STREAK OF YELLOW
Makes Craven Plea for Mercy and
Cries Like a Baby When He Gets
His Just Deserts.

Last Wednesday afternoon Ira
Booth entered a plea Of guilty in the
district court to a charge of burg
larry and vas sentenced by Judge
Cheadle to serve a term of three
years in the state penitentiary.
The crime for which Booth was
sentenced was committed last No
vember when he burglarized the
house of Walter Reed, a rancher liv-
ing in the brakes neai vhe Missouri
river in the northeastern part of the
county. But 1t was evidenced last
Wednesday when Booth was senten-
ced that he has more yellow streaks
in him than just a penchant to APP
propriate other peoples property
when they are absent from their
homes. In order 10 save the county
the large expense incident to his
trial Judge Cheadle last week made
an agreement with Booths counsel
that If Booth was willing to enter a
plea of guilty he would make his cen
tence three years. although the max
imum penalty for his oifense was five
years. After consultation with his
counsel Booth thought it best to ac-
cept the courts offer and according.
ly entered the plea and received the
sentence as already stated.
When his time was fixed at three
years Booth began to weep, disregard,
lessly spill tears on the two-dollar a
yard carpet in the judges office and
beg for a more merciful sentence.
But the Judge is next to all such
characters as Booth (having served
in the army awhile, and consequent
ly stood pat for the original sentence.
Finally Booth declared his inno-
cence, calling upon God to witness
that he was being punished unjustly.
Then Judge Cheadle advised him to
withdraw his plea and stand trial,
telling him how foolish he was to
plead guilty when he was innocent.
This Booth refused to do and he was
finally removed from the court room
weeping. protesting his innocence, re-
Wiling at fate and figuring on a
chance to get away.
When he found that he had no
show to get out OF prison he revealed
the hiding place of the articles he
had stolen from the Reed ranch, but
not until all hope of squirming out
of it had fed did he reveal anything
but the yellow streak which he evil
IDENTIFY is unable to keep hidden.

w. =. Fuleher No Match for Oppo.
nents in One.Sided Gun Play.


The preliminary hearing of John
Hill and Joshua Rawton. arrested on
the charge of burglary, was held be-
fore Justice Mcfarland Wednesday
afternoon and resulted in the men be-
ing bound over to await the action
of the district court. Their bonds
yer fixed at $500 each and were fur
nished by the alleged burglars. w.
F. Fulcher, of Jackson coulee, the
man who found the men with the
goods in their possession. and who
was compelled to leave them when
they commenced to fire upon him,
was one of the principal witnesses.
Fulcher said that he happened to
be riding by the sheep camp on the
10Th of March when he observed a
smoke. Riding closer he saw the
herders putting out the fire. They
told him the camp had been robbed
and asked him if he wouldn't ride
down the road and try to see the
persons who did the act. Taking a
gun and two cartridges. all that they
could muster, he got On the trail OF
the men and finally came upon them.
The men were off their horses and
were evidently arranging TO each
something in a deep coulee.
Dropping down into another u
lee, Fulcher got off his horse and
slowly worked his way down until
he was between the men and their
horses. He recognized Hill, but be-
ing a new conner in the country, was
not sure of the identity of Rawton.
As soon as he got near them he drew
down on them and ordered them to
throw up their hands. Instead of do
ing so they rolled off a small bluff
out of sight. Fulcher asked them
If they were armed and they replied
that they had all sorts of guns. He
told them that he knew who they
were and what they had done and adj
vised them to take the stolen goods
back to the camp and try to square
the matter with the herders. Hill
and his companion denied having set
fire to the camp and said that they
would not take the stuff back. Full
cher then told them to load the stuff
on one of the horses and let him

would then turn the horse loose.
This they agreed to do.
They had. in the meanwhile. drag
ged the stuff back up the hill and
before loading it on the horse held
a long conference. Rawton finally
came over to Fulcher and said that
they couldn't let him have a horse,
as they needed II themselves. While
they were talking Hill once more got
out of sight. While they were ma
n~euvering around Hill raised up from
behind a sage bush and opened fire.
Rawton also opened fire. Fulcher
responded with his two shells, and
then, being out of ammunition, he
was compelled to get out of range.
He tried TO take the horse with the
stolen goods with him but the con-
slant crossfire of the two robbers
made it impossible. AS soon as he
got upon a hill a few hundred yards
distant he saw a smoke and correct
ly surmised that the men had set fire
to the stolen goods. When he got
back to the camp he found that the
fellows had scattered poisoned meat
around and that one of the herder's
dogs had just died. Rawton and Hill
will have their final hearing in June.

SHEARING PRICES.
Sheepshearers' Union Demands In
crease of One Cent a Pound.

crease OF One cent a Founu'
From the headquarters of the Hand
and Machine Sheepshearers' Union,
No. 275. located in Butte, the sched-
ule of prices to govern shearing in
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon has been issued. The
scale was adopted at the second an
nual convention, held in Butte last
August. The price for Montana is l
cent higher than the woolgrowers'
association agreed to allow at its re-
ZEN meeting, and l cent more than
was paid in this state last year.
Another stipulation made by the
sheepmen. which it Is understood the
shearers will not concede, is that the
employers shall hold back one-half a
zen on each sheep sheared, until the
end of the season. this amount to be
forfeited should the shearer fail to
finish the job. Owing to these differ
ences there seem to be good grounds
for the fear that shearers will be
scarce in Montana this year.
The scale of prices demanded by
the union in Montana and wyoming
stipulates that s cents per head
straight and board shall be paid for
