MURDERER OF
HEDGES TALKS
THE PRISONER MAKES NO At
TEMPT TO DENY HIS
IDENTITY.

Great Falls, Aug. 3.-GeOrge Rick
etts, accused of the murder of William
Hedges at Geyser on July 4, who
recently escaped from one officer, on
ly to be re-captured by another, has
very little to say about the affair, but
expresses regret that he made any at
tempt to escape after the ARRAY.
He claims he was drunk at the time
of the fight in O'Hara's saloon. and
left Geyser without knowing that
Hedge was dangerously injured.
When arraigned in the district
court yesterday morning on the charge
of murder in the first degree, Rick
etts declared his true name was Geo.
Washington Ricketts,. County Attor-
ney Greene accordingly amended the
information so as to give the name
correctly.
Two deputy sheriffs accompanied
Ricketts, from the county Jail to the
cout house. He was securely hand.
cuffed. Asked by Judge Leslie if he
had secured counsel or wanted the
court to appoint some one to defend
him, Ricketts, replied that he did not
know; that it might require some
time to formulate his plans. The
matter was thereupon continued until
August II, when the accused murder
er is expected to plead. BY that time
he will probably know whethtr he can
employ a lawyer.
While reluctant to advise his rel
atives in California of his predica-
ment, Ricketts, may finally decide to
ask their assistance.
1t appears that, while Ricketts, is
now reticent. he was more commun'
icative Immediately after being lodg'
ed in Jail at BOzeman. A dispatch
from that place says:
Ricketts, acknowledged his identity
and his guilt and made full comics
sion of his deeds to Sheriff Reynolds
before his departure. Hedge was an
absolute stranger to him. he said, and
he himself was too drunk to know
what he was about at the time when
the quarrel started in the saloon at
Geyser on the night of July 4.
The details of the murder itself he
cannot remember, but he recalls hear.
ing somebody say that some man was
"all cut to pieces with knife" and
then found his own knife gone and
realized what had happened. Soon
after he started to run he fell into
an irrigating ditch and lay there fol-
some time, half planning to return
He decided, however. that as he had
no good excuse for killing Hedge, he
would better move on. He made his
way across country from Geyser to
Lombard on foot and came from
there on train to Logan, and there
was arrested and then escaped.
| Ricketts, seemed unconcerned about
| his situation. He is a sheepherdel
and a gambler. and with something
of bravado, he said, referring to the
murder. that if his neck had to cracl
for it, he wasn't the kind Of fellow
| that couldn't stand it.

Some Sunday School Statistics.

The Protestant church membership
of this country is about 19,25O,0OO,
the total Sunday school membership
about 100000. Thus it is seen that
the Sunday School has about 70 per
cent as many as the church member
ship.
The great effort of today is to so in
crease this that soon the columns
will be parallel
In the Methodist Episcopal church
there are 3.150.52O persons in the
Sunday schools, and 3,O64,735 men,
bers of the church. This makes the
proportion of the Sunday school mem
bers as compared with the church
members 104 per cent. This denomi-
nation has nearly one-fOurth of the
total Sunday school enrolment. while
they have less than one sixth of the
Protestant church membership in
the United States.
While there are encouraging fea-
lures in this growth of our great
church, it needs to be remembers ed
that only about Is per cent of the
population of this country Is connect,
ed with the Sunday school. Some
entire states have reached nearly %
| per cent, some counties 60 per cent
and some towns as high as even 8.

where this great department of tho
