A BLACKMAlLING SHEET.
Jury Justifies Golfers in Exposing
Town TOPICS,


New York, Jan. 29.-An unusually
day, when jury in the criminal
branch of the supreme court report
ed that Norman Hapgood editor of
Golfers Weekly, was not guilty Of
criminal libel. The verdict was rem
dered ten minutes after the case had
been given to the jury.
The charges against Mr.. HapgOod
were brought at the instigatiOn OF
Judge Joseph M. Deuel.. of the court
of special sessions. and were based
upon an editorial in which the editor
criticised Judge Deuel. for his cOnnec
tiOn with Town Topics.
The real interest in the case was
due to the fact that the names of
scores of persons of the highest social
and financial standing became involv-
ed through the efforts of the defense
to prove that the statements contain
ed in the alleged libel were correct
and, therefore. justified. To attain
this end, some of the inner workings
OF Town Topics, weekly publica-
ton which circulated extensively in
social circles, were laid bare. 1t was
in this connection and through ties.
timony concerning a limited edition
book which bore the title, "Fads and
Fancies," that the names Of promi.
nent people became involved. "Fayls
and Fancies" was sold to subscribers
at 81 500 or more per copy

that may be considered as assured
is that the Great Northern will posi-
lively build branch line into this
city. In addition to that, there is still
chance that the Milwaukee may
make connections with Lewistown.
The plans of the company have not
been decided upon, and will not be
until all the reports of the engineers
are in. In addition to all this, Mr..
Hobson is convinced that sooner or
later, the 500 will build through this
section. but as the matter now stands,
Lewistown is certain of having two
liEes. and he considers it much bet
ter for the city to be the terminal of
two lines than to simply be on one
main line.
Mr.. Hobson learned that just as
soon as the engineers can be released
from their work on the main line, they
will get to work on the Great North
ems branch to Lewistown. and there
will be no delay in building it. 1t is
not positively settled just where the
Great Northern's line will cross the
Judith. 1t will probably eb the seat
of a considerable town.

TAKES WELL
LARGE CONGREGATIONS GREET
REV ATKINSON AT HIS OPEN
ING MEETINGS.

Something unusual has ocucrred in
evangelistic meetings. Crowded
houses have greeted Rev. Thomas II.
Atkinson from the beginning, which
was on Sunday morning at the Pres
byterian church. 1t is usually esti-
mated that several days if not weeks
are needed to get the attention of the
public. But "a knowledge of his work
at Great Falls had preceded Rev AT
kinson and the Lewistown public was
prepared to give him full hearing.
1t is evident that the interest is not
confined to those churches alone
which have entered the union formal
ly but is general and from all church
es. 1t is possible that the recent re-
vulSiOn of feeling against vice in the
community makes the public turn read
lily to the gospel as the source of bet
terment. At any rate il has been hard
for late comerS to get seat the last
two nights. It is hard to tell wheth
er his singing or his preaching has
been the greater source of the evan
gelist's power. Rev. Atkinson plays
his own accompaniment on the or
gan and renders his solos with a
voice of wonderful compass and rich
ness and the gospel is sung home to
the hearts of the people. It is the
wonder of many how Mr. Atkinson
can sing and speak so much and show
no trace of hoarseness. The secret
is probably in his knowledge of the
crorect use of both the speaking and
singing voice.
To Continue Several Weeks.
The meetings are announced to con
tinue for several weeks every after
noon at 3 and 1880 except Saturday.
The afternoon meetings are especial
ly designed for Christians. The at
tendance on Monady afternoon gave
promise of increasing interest.
Last night the evangelist announ-
ced his topics for the remainder of
the week and they are as follows:
Tuesday night, Hell, What the
Scriptures Have to Say. Those Who
Go there and the Nature of the Pun
ishment'
"Wednesday. THE Fruit of Sim
Thursday night, "Christ's Imperative
Must"
Friday night. 'The Nature and En-.
vlronment of Heaven"
Saturday, no meeting. but three
services are to be held on Sunday.

BARNES-KING'S
GREAT TUNNEL
Is NOW COMPLETED 5000 FEET
AND WILL BE DRIVEN 1000
FEET FURTHER.

One of the biggest projects that has
been undertaken at Kendall since the
mines were regularly opened up is now
approaching completion at the Barnes
King. This is the running of a tun-
mel from the workings near the mill
to the most distant point in Barnes
King territory, away off to the north,
where a great body of ore was locat-
eG by means of the diamond drill ov-
er a year ago. The tunnel is now
completed 5000 feet, and already,
some ore bodies have been struck
on it's course that are of much i'm
portance, one in particular showing
values of close to $50, which is un-
usually rich for a cyanide proposition.
The tunnel is to be run 1000 feet
further SO that it will be considerab-
ly over a mile in length. The ore de-
posits to be reached through this tun-
mel are of such extent that they will
practically give the Barnes-King an
other mine to work on, and it is vir-
gir territory that is to be tapped.
The ore will be run right into the
llllll IlOui IAc luAuCi, anu IA oPA'C ~
the long drive, it can be handled in a
most economical manner. The tunnel
is fine piece of engineering work,
and reflects great credit upon the
Barnes-King staff.
Helps the Big Camp.
The Barnes-King company, as ev'
eryone in this section knows. is a
very close corporation, the stock be,
ing held by a small group of men,
headed by E. w. King and ]. P,
Barnes. There is not share of this
stock on the market, and probably
never will be, so that its operations
are not exploited to any extent. The
success of the present undertaking
however, is a splendid thing for the
camp. of which the Barnes-King is
one of the mainstays.
In connection with this, it may be
said that the Kendall is now in file
ore in the new workings, and the ex
pense involved in sinking the com
partment shaft is already more than
justified. The showing at this prop
erty for the current month promises
to be the best in several months past
and constant improvement in the pro
| duction may be expected, so that the
Kendall will very soon be back on its
old basis.

SOCIETY LEADER KILLED.
Is Victim Of a Brutal Murder at Los
Angeles.

Is vjctIm OF Brutal MurOSr at LOS
Angeles.
Los Angeles, CAL, Jan. 29.-Mrs. c.
A. Garfield, wife of the multi-million-
eire oil magnate, c. A. Garfield, and
a prominent society woman of Los
Angeles, was shot and almost instant
ly killed tonight while sitting on the
front porch of her residence on South
Alvadere street, in the fashionable
section of the city. Her slayer was
Morris Buck, former coacnman, who
is in custody. According to his own
story, related to the officer who cap
tured him, Buck wrote to Mrs. Can
field, soliciting an interview and de-
manding the payment of large sum
of money which he claimed to be due
him. He said his letter received no
response, and he determined to seek
a personal interview with Mrs. Can.
field He arrived at the Garfield man.
sion about $40 this evening and found
Mrs. Garfield sitting on the front
porch. When ne renewed his demand
for cash, she ordered him off the
premises. A servant of the house
hold started toward him, and Buck
drew a pistol from his pocket. Mrs.
Garfield grabbed the pistol and at
tempted to wrest it from him. During
the scuffle he pulled the trigger of the
weapon and the bullet struck Mrs.
CanfieM in the breast and she fell back
on the porch.
Officers who arrested Buck, after a
chase of several blocks, are convinc-
ed that the man is sane. According to
the version of neighbors who witness
ed a portion of the tragedy, Buck first
shot Mrs. Garfield in the breast and
when she fell back on the porch. he
leaned over and deliberately fired an
other shot into her abdomen. The first
shot went directly through the heart.
On the suspects person, in addition to
the pistol with which he had done the
killing, were found 80 caliber revolv-
er, long dirk knife, sharpened to a
razor edge and several loose cartrid-
ges. Buck is about % years old and
| little is known of him.
G. A. Garfield left home few days
ago in a private car, for an inspection
of oil properties in Mexico. He was
accompanied by two of his young
daughters, IL and IA years of age.
Mrs. Garfield was about As years of
age and was the mother of five chill
dren. Mr.. Garfield is the senior mem
Der of the firm of Garfield and Chan
cellor, the largest oil producers in the
| state.
