period of the civil war, and shot and
she'll from the contending forces cut
away the shrubbery, and not single
stone was left standing. During the
memorable battle Of Helena, which
resulted in the continued occupation
Of the city by the Federals, this an
cient burial place was one Of the
strategic points Of the battle field
and its surface was sstrewn with dead
and wounded from both armies.
Since the war the city Of Helena
has utilized a beautiful cemetery site
farther north, half on the ridge and
half in the avlley, and here its be-
loved dead are left to their eternal
sleep, without fear Of disturbance by
the fierce din Of battle. In this new
cemetery, on the highest point Of
Crowley's Ridge, rests under mod
est marble column the remains of the
gallant Pat Cleburne, who enlistine
as private, rose to the rank of Ma
jor General in the Confederate army
and laid down his life at Franklin,
Tenn, while leading his men in a
charge which was second only to that
of the brave Pickett at Gettysburg.
Here on this eminence rests Cleburne,
and around him, as if rallying around
their illustrious leader even in death,
lie 600 Of his comrades in gray. This
is Confederate Hill, whose glistenins
monuments are the first objects to
greet the eyes of passengers on in
coming river steamers.
In the Old Cemetery.
The old cemetery was abandoned
to the elements, and vandals have
broken open many costly caskets for
the purpose of robbery. In this way
the old cemetery has become Uttered
with the bones Of forgotten dead, and
grinning, skulls often stare fxedly at
the passerby from beside fallen and
moss-covered tombstone.
It was in this old cemetery that

knew of it's existence until blue
print from the negative was found,
bringing back all the sickening
memories Of that awful night when
Scott was found lying upon the side
walk less than two blocks from his
office, with two ghanstly holes in the
top Of his head and the death rattle
in his throat.
Certainly the smiling face Of the
little fellow Nesting contentedly in
the protecting arms Of his stalwart
friend offers striking contrast to
The deaths head at their feet, which

ton Of the entire police force. The
mass meeting also demanded the right
to name a new chief Of police. This
latter demand was complied with by
the mayor and council, then sitting
in special session, to investigate the
assault upon Mr.. Adams by the chief
of police and his sergeant, both Of
whom rendered their designations. E..
IS. Scott was named chief Of police
by the citizens and the mayor APP
pointed him to succeed Clancy. On
the same day all members Of the
police force resigned and their places
were filed by Chief Scott with nom
resident men. A few days after this
wholesale resignation on the part Of
Clancy and his men Clancy attempt
ed suicide by shooting himself in the
side with revolver, but without sue
cess, and he is now bossing a gang
of laborers on a drainage canal.
Ruane, the sergeant, is tending bar
for local saloon.
Triumph Of Citizens.
A few weeks after the old police
force had resigned, Mayor Hugh
Martin, who had come in for share
of criticism, and his entire council
resigned and a special election
was called to fill the vacancies.
The citizens again held meet
ing and nominated "citizens
ticket" and, though there was some
dissatisfaction with two Of three Of
the nominees, only one man, j. S.
Horror, candidate for alderman from
the first ward, had opposition. Not
outstanding every member Of the
old police force and others who, for
reasons of their own, opposed him,
he and the rest Of the citizens ticket
defeated the opposition by vote of
nearly three to one, and Helena now
has a new set Of city officials, from
mayor to street commissioner.
M. Scott, in the discharge Of
his duty as city editor of the World,
took an active part in the events
which led to this upheavel in city
government, and many think that his
assassination was due to that fact.
Others think that his death was due
to some enmity formed while en-
gagged in securing material for the
sensational articles which appeared
in the World; and still others think
that his murderer sought to satisfy
some personal grudge. But these are
merely theories, and no facts con-
nected with the case exist to prove
any Of them conclusively. However.
Ben Carruth, q member Of the old
police force, and Billy Archibald,
bartender for the saloon near which
Scott was murdered, are held for the
crime, and the evidence against thcrn
is SO strong that the Criminal Court
refuses to liberate them on any sort
Of bond.
