CHANGE THEIR
PLEAS
CHANGE OF HEART is EXPERT
ENCED BY MEN ACCUSED
OF FALSELY SWEARING,

Helena, Aug. 17.-Pcrjury cases
from the Crow Indian reservation
which have been on trial in the fed
cral court for the past week came t.
an abrupt and startling end this morn
ing when pleas Of guilty were entered
by ID. r. Drake. u. II. Wills. Edward
Riley. ID. Mcmillan and William Bart
lett in lieu Of their original pleas of
not guilty. This afternoon Drake Was
sentenced to serve one year and six
months in the pcnitentiary at Leaycn-
worth, Kan. and 10 pay Il fine OF
$500; Wills to serve one year and one
month at the same place and to pay
Il fine of 800; Mcmillan to serve six
months in the county Jail and IL pay
Il fine Of 5000; sherman Somers to
serve four months in the county jail
and TO pay fine of SI00: Bartlett will
be sentenced in 30 days.
This change of heart was only ex-
perienced after one of the defendants.
William Bartlett. being called to the
stand on behalf of the government
this morning. had laid bare to the
court and the jur yall the details oE
the perjury frame up" planned and
carried out by Dr. r. Drake, who, ii
is alleged, furnished the brains for
the plan by which the defendants
hoped to escape the penalties OF the
law.
The perjury cases grew out Of al ef-
fort by Drake to save his nephew,
Wills, from possible penalties for sell
ing whisky to the Grow Indians. Wills
was alleged by the government To have
sold whisky to some Grow Indians at
Hardin July of last year. Drake,
the uncle of Wills, and partner of his
mother In the Big Horn saloon. where
Wills was working as bartender, con-
eeiyed the idea Of proving AN alihi,
and in furtheFance OF this plan se-
cured the other defendants to testify
to having seen Wills at various places
an tho road between Joliet and Park
City on the day he was alleged IL have
sold the whisky.

tion Won in Il OF the Il county cleo
tions today. The county dispensary
system will be retained only in six of
the counties voting. For the first
time the Anti-Safoon league took an
active interest in the prohibition move
ment in this state. and not since the
stirring facti0nal contests of the
early COS. when benjamin r. Tillman
was first entering upon his spectacu-
lar political career. has such a CAM
paign been Witnessed as that waged
by the anti-salnnn leaders, church.
folk and anti-dispensarites against
the return to the dispensaries.
The gains made by the prohibition
lists are expected 10 lend impetus tn
the fight for IA statewide prohibition.
The fight will be fairly on before the
opening of the next session of the leg

lists declare that the representatives of
those counties which today declared
against fntoxicants will not dare cast
their votes in January against the
