were subpoened by the district
court of Deer Lodge county as
witnesses in the case of the

Hays, alias VIM. johnson, who
is being tried for the murder OF
Deputy Warden Robinson at the

johnson, as he was known in
this vicinity lived here for some
years, and at first his reputation
was unapproachable, however,
he soon fell into bad company,
and was branded by the people
as an undesirable citizen. He
went from bad to worse. and
about three years ago was con.
victed of burglarizing the Billy
Wildwood saloon in Zortman and
sentenced by Judge Tatton to
ten years in the penitentiary.
He and Rock. another we'll

had a soft spot in his heart for the

the spacious dining hall and sat
down to dinner fit for princes, po-

the Virginia boys said it tasted
good enough for that, after the
hard work of the morning.
Next came the State University
