DUG UP CORPSE AND SAVED A LIFE

The case is one Of the most ssnsa-
tional that has ever occurred in Mon
tana. and only the daring of Howell's
attorney, w. E. Cort, now of Los An
geles, saved him from the scaffold. At
the trial the state showed by a num-
Der of witnesses that Rolling was
shot from behind, and 1t was wholly
upon this showing that the verdict Of
first degree murder was returned.
Howell was sentenced in 1900 to be
hanged, and later Attorney Cort went
alone to the place where Rozling's
body was inferred, dug it up, took the
head to Helena and showed the gov
ernor that the deceased was not shot
from behind. Upon this the executive
committed the sentence to life i'm
prisonment and the effort to obtain
further clemency has been making
ever since. The petition is one OF the
largest ever secured in Montana in a
case of this kind.

FRAUD ON LIFE COMPANIES.
Scheme Worked Successfully by Girl
Who Counterfeitcd Death.

Who Counterfeited Death.
A fraud scheme at the expense of
life insurance companies was carried
out three times successfully as long
ago as 1870. A young woman with an
extraordinary power of Stimulating
death had fer confederate an elder
ly man, who passed for her uncle.
Twice in different parts of England
she insured her life in her uncle's IA
vor, went into commissions and to all
appearances died. The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation. The uncle went to a life
insurance company, explained that he
was in financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such a loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value. but could not afford to have
this insurance become known, as It
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit. The company,
therefore, agreed to write the insur-
ance under bond of secrecy. AS
usual, the young woman went into
commissions and died. Before her
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see. Her uncle was pros
trated.
He did not try to collect the insur-
ance for some months and when he
did the company paid him in full with
expressions of real sympathy. So did
nine other companies, which he had
silenced by the same ruse, and he
Joined his niece on the continent with
very impressive fortune.

HISTORY WAS NOT TAUGHT.
Recognition by Colleges Of Importance
Of American Story


Of American Story.
A little more than thirty years ago
a boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with the
highest honors without knowing of
the existence of the declaration of in
dependence or when the constitution
OF the United States was framed, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine. What was true of Har-
ward was true Of other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege we're required to know something
Of the history Of Greece and Rome.
but not of their own country. During
the four years Of the college course
they had opportunity to study the his
tory of England and Europe, but never
to learn aught OF the United States.
This condition of education was mere
ly an indication of an attitude of mind
then passing away, but which had once
been predominant The usual opinion
seems to have been during the first
half of the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling, apart from the adventures of
the revolution, which were both con-
nected SO closely with the history of
Europe that they might be deemed of

The Inauguration Date.
ON the New York Tribune

We are glad to learn that the agitation
for a constitutional amendment changing
the date of the presidential inauguration,
revived in Washington last March. is max
ing substantial Roadway. Our Washington
dispatches report that forty-one governors
of states and territories have agreed to
serve on the committee which will draw the
necessary amendment and urge its accept
arce by. Congress an<f=its ratification by the
state legislatures. The committee will or
ganize in November and will ask the Fifty
ninth Congress to approve and submit the
amendment soon as practicable. The
char ge proposed-whatever may be Its ex-
act and final form-will not take effect until
1918, SO that ample time will be given for
all the states to act. The legislatures OF
again in regular session until 1908. Vir-
gir,ia's legislature, IL 1t adjourns next year
before an amendment can be submitted, will
rot meet again until 1910. 1t Is apparent,
therefore, that the change desired can be
effected only tardily, and that the commit
tee Is wise both In planning far ahead and
In making start as early as possible.
= We hope, however, that, II the calendar
Is to be revised, Congress will accept no
such compromise as merely postponing the
date of the Inauguration for seven or eight
on which the terms OF the new President
and the new Congress begin. II a President
takes Office on March and one Congress
gives way for another on that date, March
must remain the pivoted day In our po-
litical year, and to celebrate an anniversary
two months after 1t has really occurred
hardly accords with American standards OF
