Convict Seeks Liberty,

BUTTE, May 3.-After serving
almost twelve years of a 3O.year
sentence imposed on him by Judge
William Clancy, effort is now being
made TO secure the release of Thomas
Stages from the state p%enitentiary, on
the grounds that the sentence was
passed on Arbor day in 1897, which is
a legal holiday, and which would
cause the judgment of the court to be
declared null and void.
Stages, with Charles W. Haskius,
was charged with having assaulted
and robbed Emanuel Teron, in a
small cabin about four miles west of
Butte, and to have taken S97 from their
victim. Both men entered pleas of
guilty before Judge Clancy. Stages
was also charged with a prior con.
%viction, and plead guilty to this, al.
though he bad been pardoned by the
governor OF the state. Haskins was
given a sentence of Is years and has
been discharged from the penitentiary
as he served his full term.

along the line OF the new railroads
have made great advancement and on
the line of the Billings & Northern
there are several which are claiming
the attention of the commercial inter.
ests which make Butte, Billings and
Great Falls their distributing centers.
The Billings Gazette says that
Broadview Is fast taking on the airs

and that within q very few years Bill
lings will have several thousan peo-
pie tributary to it in the cities along
the Billings & Northern.
Hedges is the newest of the new
towns. 1t is located in the southern
part OF Fergus county, about 10 miles
from Billings, and in addition to be.
Ing In the center Of q 6ne agricultural
country which is rapidly being settled,
1t Is also the a shipping point
and the center of supply for the mines
which are springing up in the southern
portion of the Snowy mountains.
Hedges has been on the map but for
q few months, but it has attained q
remarkable growth, and is rapidly
pushing to the front Of the important
towns on the Billings & Northern.
The place has several stores, a new
hotel and doing q thriving business.
In addition to the agricultural pos.
sibtlities, the entire townsite and the

A 0rist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges.
Havre Plaindealer: Robert FELTON,
was In the city the first of the week
from the mountains. He reports that
while livestock is generally in poor
shape, the outlook for q banner crop
OF all kinds of cereals and vegetables
was never brighter than it is now.
Chester Signal: Seventy eight grain
sacks full OF barley as q result of
sowing two sacks is the result of one
dry farm In this vicinity. This was
on new breaking and In one OF the
dryest years we have ever had. All
the land requires is the proper tillaRe
and abundant harvests will result.
Conrad Observer: County Assessor
Binford was here last Saturday. in his
official capacity, which fact brings to
mind that the lying season is at hand.
The season when property greatly
deprecistes in value and when the
owners al lie with a. much ease and
grace as q lord. Somebody will have
to answer q heap of sins for this as
s%essing business.
Hinsdale Homestead: The farmers
of this section are all busy as bees
getting their spring wheat in the
ground. There is twice the acreage
planted this spring over that of any
season heretofore in this section, and
1t the season proves to be a good crop
year, which everybody is confident.
ly expecting, the country surround
ing Hinsdale will make a splendid
showing this year.
Harlem News: Sylvester Murphy
met with a rather painful accident
Sunday as a result of which he is now
minus the big toe which was formerly
a part of his left foot. Out in the
country, where the accident occurred,
he leaned a shotgun up against q
building and in some manner the gun
fell to the ground and was discharged
with the result mentioned above. This
is another case of where it might have
been worse.
Chinook Opinion: The Great Nor
thern has put into effect q special
colonists' rate from ST.. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chinook for the pres.
ent summer of S25 for the round trip.
The rate is in effect the first and third
Thursdays of every month during the
summer. The tickets are good for rs
days from the date of sale, to give the
homeseeker ample opportunity to in
vestigate the country and learn its
advantages.

Should Plant Trees.

In accordance with legislative en-
actment design ating the second Tues.
day in May as Arbor Day in Mon
tana, a proclamation by Governor
Norris urges the observance of that
custom Or public duty On May IL.
The pleasure and Satisfaction to be
derived from the planting and cult
walton of trees is appreciated by resi.
dents of this city, who improved their
home surroundings in this manner
several years ago, making this NUM-.
cipality one of the prettiest and most
homelike towns in the northwest.
Some suggestions upon tree plant
ing, and the varieties best suited to
Montana climatic conditions are
given by Prof. F. S. Cooley, of the
agricultural college at Bozeman, who
says:
The poplars, box elder, mountain
ash, birch, soft naples and some of
the evergreens do we'll in Montana.
The earlier and harder varieties of
apples are good, such as the Duchess,
Yellow transparent, Transcend ant
Crab, Wealthy, Wagner and Nc
Intosh. Sour cherries and plums
succeed. Bush fruits, currants and
gooseberries thrive, and r%aspberries
do we'll if laid down and covered in
winter.
How to plant: Dig a hole large
enough and deep enough for all the
so that the tree may be set two
inches deeper than when taken up.
Prune off bruised and broken roots
and excess of top, With a sharp knife.
Fill in around the roots with the best
top soil and tramp it hard and firm.
Leave the surface two inches loose
and mellow and keep it mellow. Do
not pour in water and then leave the
surface to crack, but stir the soil and
make a mulch to hold the water. Do
not pile straw or manupe about the
tree stem. Keep them a few inches
away if used.
Set young trees. One or two year
old apple trees are best. Other sorts
are easier O make live when young.
the surface soil loose about
'rees and keep animals away from
hem for q few years.

MURDERER WAS INSANE.
John kirshweng Was Fugitive From
Asylum Since Last December.

Asylum Since Last December.
Information from Butte regarding
the career of John Kirschweng, who
killed himself aud family Wednesday
at the ranch of Alex. Ross, on Clear.
creek, established the fact that the un.
forum ate man was insane. A partial
explanation of his mental trouble is
given in the Wednesday issue of the
Butte Inter Mountain, which reports
these proceedings in the federal court.
Attorner II. Lownder Maury appear.
ing for John Kirschweng in his suit
against the Colusa-Parrot company in
the United States court, this morning
asked Judge Hunt to allow q period
of six months in which to take the
testimony in the case, as his client,
Kirschweng. was insane, but with
intervals, and the time is desired so
that the testimony of Kirschweng may
be taken when he is normal mentally.
Kirshweng is suing to o for
alleged infringement OF q patent which
belongs to him. The case probably
will be referred to the master.in.
~chaucery for the taking of testimony.
Kirschweng has been committed to the
insane asylum several times, but each
time has made his escape, and he is
now at liberty.
Further advice from Butte state that
Kirshweng invented an elev ator break.
He conceived an idea that the Clark
interests had robbed him of his latter
patent, but when the case got into
court he displayed symptoms Of in.
sanity IN the witness stand, and his
attorney, h. L. Maury, withdrew from
the case. From time to time he die.
played his insanity in Butte and
other towns.
BE was committed to Warm Springs
twice, once about five years ago, and
once again after he had become ap-
parently we'll. His relatives and
friends thought he had been wronged,
and a month after Ills fret commit.
ment had him taken from Warm
Springs. He had been in Butte
Jail. but few jails would hold
him, and be is remembered at
the city Jail for tearing all the
plumbing out in the basement. He
was taken to Warm Springs in an
automobile last fall by Sheriff Hen
derson, heavily shackled, and the
sheriff feared at that time that he
would do harm. He broke out of the
Warm Springs asylum, where he had
been confined in q specially made
apartment. He overpowered the
guard and got away December 8, and
has not been heard of since.
His last escape from the asylum
was made in a dramatic way. While
confined in the hospital, he tore a
heavy blanket in strips, which, he
braided into a rope. Then wrenching
the heavy oak transom from it's fasten.
ing, he crawled out into a corridor
and escaped into the stockade sur.
rounding the back of the building.
Tying his improvised rope to the tran
som, he threw the latter over the high
fence. When it caught on the other
side, he pulled himself up and es-
capped.
