CASE IS PAID AT LAST

All last the controversy over the
payment of the reward offered by the
county commissioners for the arrest
and conviction of the murderer of
Samuel Studzinski in August of last
year has been settled The commits
sioners late Friday afternoon voted to
pay the reward to Edward Martin, who
represented all the claimants, and put
in a claim for the whole amount. The
warrant was signed by Chairman
Samuel Phillips yesterday, and Mr.
Martin received the document from
County Clerk and Recorder Hazen,
and at once cashed it at the county
treasurer's office.
When the matter of paying the re-
ward was again brought up at the last
session of the board Chairman Phil
lips opposed it, basing his objection
on legal grounds. He claimed that un-

al in the Hobliki case submitted by
the commissioners of Cascade county.
as well as from legal advice he had
secured, the board had no legal right
to pay the reward. Mr.. Phillips was
chiefly responsible for the offer of the
reward in the first place, but he took
the position that it having been DEM

ben rounded up, and is now a prison
er at the county Jail. He gives the
name of J. l.. Bandy, and it is alleged
that last Sunday night he got away
with horse and saddle belonging to
Mr.. Lyon, at the Mcdonald Creek
Sheep cOmpany's ranch. Deputy Sher-
if Firman Tullock went out after the
man, but Al. Morgan, foreman for the
Cruise company, was already on the
trail and overlook Bandy at Roundup,
turning him over later to the officer.
Bandy was arraigned before Justice of
the Peace Brassey yesterday and en-
tered a plea of not guilty. He will
have hearing later. He tells a story
about being in the employ of Sheriff
Adams, of Billings, as a stool pigeon
in an effort to capture some horse
thieves, but Sheriff Slater does not
take any stock in this. although he
has communicated with the Billings
officer in regard to the matter.
Pete Wells, a half breed and a
brother of Tom Wells, has entered a
plea of not guilty to charge Of horse

conscientiously see that mistake car
ried out while there was power to rem

Commissioner Neill. who was not
present when the reward was offered,
took the position that the offer had
been made in good faith, had been act
ed upon in good faith, and that the
reward had been fairly and honestly
earned. He therefore believed it to be
the duty of the board to keep faith
and issue the warrant. If payment
should be stopped, the board would
not be responsible for that, but he did
insist that the board should keep its
word with the public. Mr. Poland took
the same view, and the clerk was in
structed to draw the warrant, Mr.
Phillips alone voting in the negative
The warrant remained in the clerk 3
office for some days awaiting the sig
nature of Mr.. Phillips. who signed it
yesterday as stated. Mr.. Phillips was
advised to the effect that his vote in
the matter protects him, and that in
signing the warrant he merely per-
formed a clerical duty.
After getting the cash, Mr.. Martin
divided the $1,000 among the claim
ants in accordance with an agree
ment previously made.
