DENNY GETS THREE YEARS
Williston Banker is Found Guilty. MANY
Other Convictions in North
Dakota Court.

Williston, N. D., Aug 10.-District
court adjourned here this evening.
There were II criminal cases, and out
Of that number there wasbutone
acquittal
The jury in the Denny case We're
instructed late yesterday afternoon,
and after being out about three hours
returned verdict of guilty. This was
somewha tof a surprise to many, as a
disagreement had been expected. A
stay of proceedings was granted by
Abe court and an appeal will be taken.
In imposing the sentence, Judge
Goss stated that he felt that a fair
trial had been given Mr.. Denny and
: that he would necessarily be COM
PEELED to fix the sentence, which was
three years.
Five ''piggers" We're sentenced to
terms Of confinement varying from
80 to 120 days and additional fines
from 5000 to $3.50.
There were three cases of assault
and battery, all of which pleaded gull
ty and were fined, with term in the
county Jail if the fine was not paid in
"a hours. There We're two other cas-
es, in one of which small fine was
imposed, and in the other the defend
ant was discharged.
It is one of the best terms of court
hal S,,
citizens of Williams county feel that
the work Of the court has been dis
patched with a degree of rapidity and
justice seldom equaled.
Only three cases were carried over
this term and one of these would have
been tried if the jury had not been
composed mostly of farmers, who were
needed at home at this time of the
year.
In the Denny case, L. A. Mills, who
lives near Saco, Mont, testified that
he is the owner of the "4EI4" brand
and that Is horses with this brand
were stolen from his pasture in Mont.
In September, 1905, he said, five of
these horses We're found on Major
Denny's ranch.
Most Of the courts time was deyot
ed to hearing the testimony of Brand
inspector Hall of Havre, who said Mr..
Mills notified him of the theft Of his
horses and a month later he heard of
d bunch in this county, some marked
with the Mills brand. Going to the
Denny ranch, he asked Mr.. Denny if
he, had any horses branded "4H4."
He testified that Denny said he did
have five, but thinking that there was
something wrong about the circum-
stances, he got rid of the animals.
Denny virtually admitted, said Hall,
that he was the leader of a gang of
horse thieves, when he said to the
inspector as the latter testified:
Il will use my influence and money
to help run these fellows down, if you
will let me out of it,"

Chinook, Mont, Aug. 10--At the
annual conference Of the North Mon
tana mission of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, in session here, Rev.
WV. Van Orsdell, the superintendent
of the mission, today presented his an
nual report, which is in part as fol-
lows:
Dear Bishop and Brethren:
We are about to pass another mile
stone In this, our annual gathering.
God has been gracious to us during
the Year. While there has been some
sickness, death has not entered the.
homes of any Of the members Of this
mission. Most faithful work has been
done by the brethren and their wives.
Some bright trophies have been won.
The gospel has bene proclaimed.
We will now give a brief outline of
the work of the different charges.
CHINOOK-Bro. j. A. Martin has
been abundant in labors. He was as
sisted in revival meetings by DR.. r.
P.Smi h, chancellor of the Montana
Wesleyan university, and Bro. F. A.
Armstrong of Belt. The church is
working tremendously in sustaining
and developing the good work. A
new organ has been installed, costing
$3.50; also valuable improvements
made on the church and parsonage, at
a cost of $3.50. Nine years ago Bishop
Cranston held our mission at this
place. Since that time an addition has
been built and other improvements
made on the church and parson4ga.
We feel it in place that the bishop
should reopen and dedicate This
church on next Sabbath. The pastor
the church, with the community, ex-
tend to the members and visitors Mt
this mission a most hearty welcome,
and may it be that our meeting here
will be a great blessing to the church
and community. Bro. Martin is clos
ing up his third year. He has done
splendid work; besides the spiritual
developments he has raised and paid
out on church and parsonage property,
$1,500
BEAR PAW-Bro. c. n, Hurst has
been Junior pastor, in connection with
Bro. Martin, and is the first resident
Pastor in the Bear Paw mountains,
about 80 miles south of this place
Brother Hurst has done most faithful
work among the settlers in this new
section of the country, holding servic-
es regularly at Lloyd, Cleveland, Mad
duX, Clear Creek, and occasionally at
Warrick, Ada and Riedel. There are
four Sabbath schools on the charge.
Under all the circumstances, the pas
tor has done most commendable work.
improvements on the Maddux church
have been made to the amount of
500; also a new organ has been So
cured.

MANCHESTER MILL
HAS BEEN STARTED

Sam H. Wood, president of lhe
Manchester Wool Mills, spent a few
hours in Hnvre Friday evening. Mr.
Wood was enroute to Chicago with
three cars of beef cattle for that mar
ket. In conversation with the Herald
man Mr.. Wood stated that the mill
at Manchester was started last week
and everything worked finely. Only
yarns were made the first week, but
this week some blankets will be manu-
factured.
Mr.. Wood felt much encouraged with
the prospect before the mill at the pre-
sent time and can see nothing but
success in the future. The mill has
had a most troublesome time and al
most unsurmountable difficulties were
overcome, but thanks to the tireless
energy of Mr.. Wood, and the back
ing of the citizens of north Montana,
it is now in operation. A large busi-
hess should be done in custom work. if
once the wool grower understands the
propo& ition. Between LOO and l.
800 pounds of wool were taken in
from Montana wool men the first week
for custom work, that is, the woods
were to be made into blankets for the
wool grower.

According to the assessment OF Mon

look forward to considerable activity
in several sections of the city.
Another defect in the ordinances
Will soon be corrected. 1t seems that
the license ordinance does not pro-
vide for the licencing of bill posters.
though it was supposed that it did;
and in this supposition, Crowel Bros.
have been paying the city a licensa
OF $a per quarter for years. An or
diRarce, No. 46, to regulate licensing
bill posters, etc, was introduced and
placed on its first reading.
A petition from Simon Pepin was
received asking for the admission of
block of the Demars addition into
the city limits, but it was found that
Mr. Pepin owned a triangular piece
OF land between the block in question
and the city limits which was not a
part of the city, so the petition was
referred back to the committee. An
effort is being made to have Mr.. Pepi11
douate a block of this land to the city
to be used as park and to be known
as "Pepin Park and it is understood
that Mr. Pepin is giving the matter
serious consideration. It would bring

MATINEE FOR WOMEN ONLY.

 "l think woman audience k bully. II doesn't make as much noise as an evon- ing audience, but t is more consistently and consistently entertained There was not a point the women missed this after noon.'
 Thus spoke DeWolf Hopper after the "Iiappyand' matinee exclusively for women at the Casino Thursday.
 1t was n queer looking house. though all lingcries waists and marcel waves and pompadours. And between the acts the foyer was almost as deserted as the aisles of q country church during service. The entire audience remained seated and nobody ate cloves
 The hit of the afternoon came when, at the close of the first act. after repeat ed curtain calls, MT Hopper made Q speech.

 Soon the slight hustle of some arrival on the little plateau under the Hex trees reached Don QIs ears. He waited but moment before he called to Robledo.
