Man Who Killed "Slick Saddle"
Brown Ten Years Ago Will Soon
Be a Free Man.
GIVEN A LONG Term
Court Sentenced Gowans to Peniten-
tiary for Twenty-Five Years-
Many Signed Petition.

\ Attorney r. Won Tobel has received
a letter from Attorney Walsh, "f
Helena, stating that Governor Norris
has granted a pardon to John Gowans.
a man sent to prison from this coun-
ty for twenty-five years for killing
"Slick Saddle" Brown at the Maloy
ranch il the summer of 1900. Decem-
Der 2lst has been announced as the
date of the hearing on the matter OF
the pardon by the state board OF
pardons and there is no doubt but
that the action of the governor will
be confirmed.
Gowans, who bore an excellent
reputation up to that time, killed
Brown only after extreme provocation
while both men were members of
shearing crew He was tried that
fall, convicted and sent to the peni-
Tertiary for quarter of century.
A year or more ago, his attorney, r.
Won Tobel, and others, started a
movement to secuee his pardon and
are much gratifed at the success of
their efforts.

Narrow Escape From Fire.

Miles City Journal: E. Ellsworth,
of the Montana Lumber
who is building a gunalow
on his lots in Baker addition, mar
rowly escaped a destructive fire last
Saturday night. Two stoves were set
up to keep the. plastering from freez-
ing, and Mr. Ellsworth went over in
the evening to replenish the fires.
While he was filling the coal scuttles
in the cellar he heard something drop
from is pocket, but gave little atten-
ton to the matter, until he reached
his Office, when he missed his spec
tacles. He returned to the house
Immediately to look in the coal bin
for the glasse and discovered good
sized blaze was burning, having its
origin from a stove which had been
set too close to the floor. Within a
few minutes the fire would have
gained such headway that the bung-
allow would have been doomed. Mr..
Ellsworth has gone west on AN i'm
portant mission, expecting to return
shortly

Famous Barrows Ranch Sold.

John r. Barrows, of Los Angeles,
California, spent several days in this
city last week in company with mis-
mother, during which time deal was
closed for the sale of the famous Bar
rows ranch at old Ubet. Mr.. Barrows
enjoys the distinction of being one of
only two democrats who ever repre-
sented Fergus county in the state leg
islature, David Hilger being the
other. He went to California about
thirteen years ago, secured employ
ment with the Sprcekles interests at
San Diego, and, by close attention to
business, won rapid promotion until
he now has practical charge of the
company affairs at Los Angeles.
Johns numerous old-time friends gave
him hearty welcome to Lewistown
and regretted that his visit was OF
such brief duration.

1--WE must do something extra this
Christmas" the Salvation Army cap
ssin said, even if Eewistown is a
prosperous city, there are poor and
destitute who will be glad for any
attention paid to them on Xmas. We
want to win their hearts. There are
plenty of good-hearted and sympa-
thizing citizens in this town who will
do their very best and cooperate in
oxr effort to bring the message good
will toward men in a practical man.
ner. The Salvation Army undoubtedly
has enough faith in the people Of
Lewistown to rely on its financial as
sistance for an effort of this kind
$500 can easily be raised in a pros
porous community like Lewistown
Go on Salvation Army, we'll stand
by.
"There is never one so poor bu,
what there is poorer one. With
this in mind we certainly will remem-
Der our less fortunate brother and
sister by contributing literally to the
Salvation Army Christmas celebra,

At the Biiou.

The feature at the Bijou theater is
"The Tragedy of Meudon," by Mr..
jules Mary. Here is another example
of high class motion picture,
abounding in dramatic interest, which
is offered with such vitality and in
telligence Of purpose that it will take
its place among the other art films
as one of the greatest achievements
in the history of the silent drama.
The dramatic thread of this little
tragedy is the jealousy of woman
toward her new daughter-in-law, and
the artistic manner in which the diff
ferent characters are portrayed is in
deed commendable. The artists who
play the respective parts are Nine
Aime Tessandier of the Comedie
Franchise. Mr.. Varennes of the
Theatre Rejane, and Mile. Barat OF
the Athenes, Paris, France. Don't
miss seeing this big feature.

the Kendall Mine, Meets Accident.

Steve Broz, who tends skip at the
Kendall mine, met with painful ac-
cident on Tuesday evening, at about
S o'clock. He was loading the skip
at the 500-foot level when the usual
signal to hoist was given. When the
engineer commenced to hoist, Broz had
one leg over the side of the skip and
could not get away His leg was
caught between the skip and the tim
bers and badly crushed and bruised.
He had the presence Of mind, how
ever, to signal to stop the skip, which
came to stop in about 20 feet. The
skip guides were removed before
Broz could be released. He was
taken Immediately to sthe Miners
Union hospital and there it was found
that no bones were broken. No one
knows who gave the signal to hoist.
