On Trial For Murder.

The trial OF John H. Allison,
charged with assault with intent to
kill, was concluded in the distric,
court late Thursday afternoon. The
jury returned u verdict about six
O'Clock, finding the defends ant guilty
of assault in the second degree and
leaving the penalty to be- fixed by the
court.
The case OF William Harrison,
charged with the crime of murder was
taken up, the accused being defended
by Attorney w. S. Towner. The fol-

The defends ant was originally in.
formed against as William Harris,
but claims his true name is Harrison.
He is charged with causing the death
OF Cecil Kurkey in the county Jail
On February 10, both men being in
mates OF the institution at that time and
serving short terms for petty ~offenses.
The victim OF the tragedy came from
Havre, while the defendant was a
resident Of Hays. on the Belknap res.

Indian.
1t IL alleged that Harrison resented
some remarks made by Kurkey while
several of the prisoners were watching
a game of solitaire, and that some
hot words were exchanged by the two
men. Harrison, according to wit.
nesses, then struck Kurkey a severe
blow on the neck which caused him to
fall to the floor in an unconscious
condition, from which he never re.
covered.

ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE.
Jury Decides Harrison Was Not Rcspon.
sible For Death Of Cecil kurkey.

One ut the most unexpected and re.
markabl III verdicts ever returned in
the Chouteau county district court,
was that of the jury in the Harrison.
Kurkey murder case which was given
late Saturday evening. The Ease was
given to the jury about five o'clock.
and four hours later they arrived at
the conclusion that the accused was
not guilty of any crime whatever, and
was entitled to discharge from GUS
tody.
1t Is understood that the jury took
several ballots to determine the ma.
ture of the verdict to be rendered, the
first resulting in six for conviction
n six for acquittal: another ballot
showed two for conviction and ten for
. verdict Of not guilty, the minority
finally deciding to agree with the
larger number. The prosecuting at
torney had requested the jury to bring
In d verdict Of involuntary man
slaughter if, in their opinion, the
evidence did not justify convi ction of
a more serious crime, but the jury
concluded the defenda ant was not guilty
OF even this minor offense.
The evidence which appears to have
had effect upon the jury was that Of
physicians who testified that q blow
with sufficient force to cause death
would knock Il person down, and it
appeared from the testimony of other
witnesses that kurkey, the man who
was assaulted in jail by the defend.
ant, retained an upright position on
the bench for several seconds after be-
ing struck by Harrison, and that he
then fell to the floor. The defense al.
vanced the theory that the brain of
kurkey was in q diseased condition,
that the excitement resulting from his
quarrel with Harrison caused a blood
vessel to burst, and that his fall
upon the steel floor caused a fracture
of the skull. In accepting this theory
and returning a verdict acquitting the
defendant of any crime whatever. the
jury expressed the opinion that the
deceased would have fallen to the floor
unconscious and expired a few hours
later, even if he had o been struck
on the jaw by his fellow prisoner.

THE FIRST MONTANA PROJECT.
Government Asks Bids For Construetio,
OF b Fort BufOrd Canal.

1t is probable that the first govern.
ment irrigation system to be construct.
ed In Montana will be the canal known
a. the Fort Buford project, which
proposes to reclaim a considerable
area OF land in eastern Montana and
the western part of North Dakota.
The project contemplates the diver.
sion OF the waters of Yellowstone riv.
er at a point about 20 miles below
Glendive. and when completed will ir.
rigate about 80, 900 acres of land. The
8 Is about $50 per acre.
Bids for the work will be received
by Frank E. Weymouth, engineer in
charge at Glendive, and will be
opened at 10 O'Clock June l. All bids
must be accompanied by a certified
check for $1,000, as an evidence of
good faith, and the bidder must also
make satisfactory representations to
the secretary of the interior that he
al furnish an acceptable bond.
Contractors are informed that the
canal, headworks, spillways, sluice

moval OF approximately }, 200, 600, Gu
bic yards of earth, $500 cubic yards
OF stone, the furnishing and driving Of

ENGLAND KEEPS EYE ON
NORWAY AND SWEDEN
Awaits Evolution of Events in Scan

Oscars Position.

LONDON. June 29.-With some sus-
pense the people of England are await
ing the evolution of events in the Scan
dinayian countries.
The throne in Norway was some time
ago Informally offered 10 Prince Charles,
of Denmark, second son OF the Crown
Prince of that country and married to
Princess Maud of England.
Should King Oscar continue to refuse
to allow a prince OF the house of Ber-
nadotte to occupy the throne which he
has lost II is more than likely that the
prince may become first king Of Nor
way, but if he consents to accept the
Norwegian crown it will be 81 the sac
rifce of his own personal wishes and
those OF his wife.
There is in all Europe no more demo
cratic couple OF royal blood than this
young prince and princess Half of the
year they spend in Copenhagen, living il
what is practically fiat, and Il very
comfortable nat it is too, but still less
pretentiouS than the residences of many
private people. while the other half is
spent near SandTingham Castle where
Princess Maud spent the happiest years
Of her childhood and girhOOd. Neither o.
them cares to accept the burdens Of 4
crown, although they feel assured that
they would be able TO win the love oi

Countess Longay Wants to

May Appeal TO the Count, But His
Efforts Will Be in

BERLIN, July 19.-Countess Longay
has greatly annoyed her former father
in-Iaw. Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus
uia. uy Offering the Jewels given to her
while she was still crown princess of
Austria. for sale in Paris.
Il IS obvious that her act in doing SO
was not caused by lack Of money. as
her present husband. Count Longay. IS
immensely wealthy. and the countess re
celyes an income from both the Belgian
and the Austrian court.
Her only reason for doing so is that
She wants to show the world that she
has openly broken off relations with her
father. as well as with the Emperor of
Austria.
