New York Dec. 25.-The New York
World prints the following:
miss Charlotte Ivar, a 19-year-old
Montana girl, who has come to New
York to participate in the county fair
to be held at Madison Square garden
December 26, was arrested in central
park yesterday, while exercising her
horse.
This being her first trip to the me-
tropolis, Miss Ivar knew nothing of
traffic squads and regulations. She
first drew the attention of Mounted
Policeman Walch by riding furiously
up and down the bride paths on her
little piebald western mustang Beau
ty.
When she attempted to leave the
park yesterday at the Fifth avenue and
Fifty-ninth streetgate, she crossed ov-
er to Fift avenue instead of Fifty
ninth street. The policeman shouted
to her, but she paid no heed. The pol
iceman gave chase, and caught the
flying pony opposite the ST. Regis no
tel.
Miss Ivar was arraigned, protesting
before the sergeant at the arsenal,
who, on hearing that they do not un-
derstanI what traffic regulations are
out at Newlanda ranch in Montana.
allowed the young woman to go after
reprimanding her.

Finnerty is Turned Down.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-For the first
time in its history the city council
of Chicago last night refused to con-
firm an appointment made by the
mayor.
Mayor Dunno sent in the name of
John +. Finnerty to succeed John Min
wegen as member of the board of
local improvements. BY a vote of 40
to 26 the council referred tine nomi-
nation to the committee on special
assessment for consideration and the
roll call showed this committee stood
seven to six against the confirmation
OF Col. Finnerty. The issue raised by
the majority was that Mr.. Minwegen
was a capable official and should not
be removed for political reasons. Two
Republicans vote dwith the minority
and six Democrats with the majority.
But Mr.. Minwegen, whom the Demo
cratic mayor wanted to remove, is a
Democrat and Colonel Finnerty is
known as a Republican.

London. Dec. 23.-The trial Of Hugh
Watt, the former member of parli-
ment. charged with melting hired a.
gents to murder his divorced wife,
Julia Watt. and Sir Reginald Beau.
champ. ended today with verdict of
guilty. Watt was sentenced to five
years penal servitude.
The judge in summing up said it
was the most extraordinary case of
mordern times improbable as was
the whole story he thought 1t was e.
qually as improbable that anyone
could concoct and swear to such
charges. The question of the sanity
OF Watt had not been raised, so the
jury had nothing to do but find ver-
dict of guilty or not guilty.
The judge points out that the death
of the former Mrs. Watt would place
Watt in exactly the position he desir-
ed, as it would enable him to legalize
his marriage to Lady Violet Beau
champ, which was illegal because
Mrs Watt declined to have her de-
vOrce made absolute. Her death would
also annul the deed of settlement be-
tween Watt and Mrs. Watt, which
Mr.. Watt desired.

musician, having been the represen.
tative of Lberati's band for some
time.

TEN YEARS FOR
kid" ROYALS
WILL NEVER BE PUNISHED FOR
HIS CRIMES IN FERGUS
COUNTY.

Kid Royals will probably never be
tried for mis- crimes in Fergus county
1t will be remembered that some weeks
ago he committed a series of daring
thefts in the vicinity of Moore. First
stealing a team of horses and the nee
essary harness, he next took a new
wagon belonging to an implement
house at Moore, and then raided a
sheep camp to complete his outfit. He
was close pressed and abandoned this
plunder in Yellowstone county, and
he stole some more horses and was
captured.
Is Given Ten Years.
The last issue of the Big Timber
Leader contains the following account
of the subsequent proceedings:
"The regular December session Of
district court for Sweet Grass county
convened in this city yesterday
morning. The case attracting the
most interest was that of Kid Roy
ais, alias Jack Bennett, alias John
Smith, charged with the larceny of a
horse and saddle belonging to John
Esp, two mares belonging to Joseph
Sims, and the burglary of a saddle
and bride belonging to Bert Shorey.
The defendant first entered a plea of
not guilty, but later admitted that his
true name is Edward Royals and
pleaded guilty to the charge of steal
ing the Sims horses. Upon being ask
ed by the court if he had any legal
reason why sentence should not be
passed. replied that he had none, and
the court sentenced him to ten years
imprisonment in the Deer Lodge pen
itentiary at hard labor. On motion
of the county attorney, the two 9TH
er charges against Royals were dis
missed"

think it would be advisable for any
one to try to.raise the Mcintosh Red
in Fergus county except as an ex

in Fergus county, under proper con.
ditions. The Wealthy could be kept

On Planting Trees.
Prof. Fisher gave some valuable ad-
vice as to the planting Of trees, and
pointed out some errors to be avoid
ed. Cultivation and irrigation were
also discussed. and as a general prop
Os1t1on. the speaker said more trees
were killed in Montana by too little,
rather than too much water Another
thing that caused much loss was sun
scald in winter-the alternate freez-
ing and thawing of trees. which broke
up the cells and killed them. The best
way to prevent this was to wrap the
tree or stand a board on the south
side to shield it from the sun.
Statistics were given on the sub
lect OF the distance at which trees
should be planted from each other.
and Mr.. Fisher believed that for this
section. they should not be closer
than from 20 to "a feet. Some ref
erence was made to crab apples, and
at the close of his address, Mr.. Fish.
er answered a number of questions.

James Sherman, the Lewistown
murderer, is certainly a champion liar
as well as thief and a murderer by
his own confession. Were it not for
the fact that discriminating evidence
outside of his own confession was
found against him it is doubtful IL his
own confession would be believed by
a jury. A most regrettable part of
the story is that quite a number of in.
