MERCY TO WOMAN

ing Home Of Californian, Sent
to Prison for Life.
Counsel for Convicted Woman Fall to
Secure Stay Of Sentence on Their
Plea That Woman Is Insane.

Oakland, Cal-Mrs Isabella J..
Martin, who was convicted Of conspir-
scy in the dynamiting Of the home
CT Judge Ogden In this city, was sen.
fenced on Saturday to Imprisonment
for life.
The jury which tried Mrs. Martin
occupied but eight minutes in their
deliberation, and Judge Wells took
but about a minute passing sentence.
When Mrs. Martin appeared in
court her counsel presented an aft
cavit to the court asking for stay
of Judgment on the ground that she
is insane. Judge Wells responded that
there was no question in his mind as
to her sanity, and that 1t had been
fully evident in all the procedure OF
the trial. Then, ordering Mrs. Martin
to be arraigned before him. he told
her he had no desire to add to her
Humiliation, but that she had been
given a fair trial, adiudged guilty, and
the sentence OF the court was that
'she should be confined In the peni
Tertiary for the remainder OF her
life"
That Mrs. Martin was determined
to end her life as soon as the oppor-
tunity offered. became apparent in the
afternoon, when she was seized with
q severe fainting spell shortly after
being sentenced to life imprisonment
from which she did not rally for near
~ and an hour and half. Two small
papers containing white powders we're
found, one In pocket of her coat and
the other beneath the corner OF the
bed in her cell That taken from her
coat contained powdered glass. The
contents OF the other are believed to
be strychnine. Mrs Martain declared
she wanted to die. declaring she did
not want to go to prison and disgrace
her son.

PROGRAM FOR 1908

X/H1TEF1sH has done well during the past year in
w the work of municipal Improvement and in work
tending to advance the interests Of the town. but there

and make farms where the odgepole timber stands

A PROSPEROUS YEAR.

HE year which has just closed has been prosperous
for Whitefish merchants, and for the citizens
of the town generally The great amount Of freight traf
c which the railroad has handled the past year has fur
nished employment for large number of men, which
sent the pay roll of this division soaring sky high The
result has been unprecedented prosperity for this town.
and the year ends with everybody prosperous and in good
spirits True, there has recently been slump in the rail
road work. but the opinion of all who posted
ditions to be that it will be of short duration.
For the year which lies before there is every prom.
Use of continued prosperity especially for this immediate
section of the country There to be doubt that
the coming spring will witness the beginning of much
work by the railroad company in the way of double track
ing, providing commodious terminal facilities etc.
LAUNDERING operations in this vicinity will be carried
on upon fully large scale formerly according tc
the present outlook, and there will be more work of de-
veopment the idle land that surrounds than in any
previous year,

The Pilot has discarded the ready

hereafter be issued strictly in home
print form. Heretofore three pages
have been printed at home and three
pages were ready print. Under the
new plan but four pages will be print

this Office. The publishers Of this
newspaper are convinced that it is the
home news that the subscribers want,
and that the foreign news is Of little
interest to them when presented in
weekly installments, and the endea vol
henceforth will be to supply what we
believe to be the wants of our sub
scribers in as complete manner as
possible, leaving the foreign news &c
the dailies, except the more importan,
events, which will be given in as brie
