After two days Of suffering from q
hemorrhage caused by the breaking
of q blood vessel in the head, death
came to the relief of Charles W.
Ayres, OF this city, Friday evening.
The patient was removed to St. Glare
hospital about S O'Clock, his condi.

and death followed about three hours
later.
The deceased was one of the old.
time residents of this vicinity, and
enjoyed the friendship and respect OF
a large number of his fellow citizens.
He came here in the early eighties,
following the occupation of %plasterer,
and later engaged in the bakery and
confectionery business with John
Higgins. The latter subsequently,
withdrew from the firm, and for about
twenty years Mr.. Ayres has continued
the business in his own name.

defense withdrew its former plea Of

Sentence vas then passed on Mrs,
Swain and on John Schlitz, found
guilty yesterday of having held Mary
Swain, daughter of Caroline. for i'm
moral purposes.
Mrs. Swain vas sentenced to serve
60 days in Jail and to pay a fine Of
one dollar; Schlitz was given a sen
tence of 20 days and fined one dollar.
His attachment for the 18-year-old
girl and his apparent willingness to
wed her saved John Schlitz from a stiff
term in the federal penitentiary.
In passing sentence upon Mrs.
Swdin Juage Hunt severely chided
her. She broke down and wept. He
told her she failed to do her duty by
her daughters and had set them a bad
example. She had no right to drink
and carouse, the court declared, but
should lead q useful, upright life
and should rear her daughters to be
good virtuous women. he advised her
to consult with her religious advisors
and to retrieve her past by leading an
life henceforth. Mrs.
Swain. between sobs, promised to
hearken to his words and to reform.
In view of the fact that she has been
in jail for nine months, and In view
OF the further fact that che Ia half In.

her struggle for existence, the court
was lenient.

The Boston Wool Market.

Conditions in the Boston wool mar
ket at the present time indicate a pros.
porous season for the wool growers of
Montana and other western states. In
it's market review of the past week, the
Commercial Bulletin says:
It is impossible to transact business
that will be large in volume with stocks
as small as they at present are. Lead.
ing firms in some instances have no
domestic to offer except a few unim.
portant lots of secured. The supply
of good greasy wool is small and is
held by a few firms, not one of them
having what could be called a salts
factory assortment for buyers to select
from.
Sales are q little larger than in
previous weeks but they are all small
lots and the aggregate is not far in
excess of SOC, 900 pounds. A start has
been made in the marketing of new
Arizona woods, about $4,000 pounds
selling on the secured basis Of CSC.
Sales of old wool include $4,000
pounds half blood Montana staple at
Csc, $1,000 fine Nevada at l9ac, and
various small lots of Wyoming, Utah
and other kinds at 16 to l9c for fine
and fine medium and 20 to 23c for
medium. Small lots of fine staple
changed hands on the secured basis
of 81 to Csc.
Contracting in Montana continues
and pc has been paid in Billings, the
highest price 80 far this season. 1t is
said that the price is now quite gen.
orally asked in all parts of the state.

Seeks Acquittal On Technically.

HELENA, March l7.-Local interest
in the disposition that will be made
by the supreme court at Washington
of the John S. Keerl appeal. which
argued yesterday, is great. Keerl
is now serving q 10.year sentence In
Deer Lodge, having been convicted
in Cascade county of manslaughter fol
the killing of Thomas Crystal, q
saloon keeper in .this city, a numbe,
of years ago.
Keerl had three trials, the first time
being convicted before Judge Henry
c. Smith of murder in the second de-
gree and sentenced to serve q 99-yea,
term. The case was appealed and &
new trial took place before Judge ]
M. Clements and the jury al unable
to reach q verdict and was discharged
He vas tried q third time at Grea'
Falls and convicted.
The point raised by the defense ant
on which it Is hoped to obtain the re
lease of Keerl Is one which has never
been raised before in the United
States, it ia said. The substance of |
is that 1t is claimed that at the SECOND
trial the jury vas wrongfully dis
charged, after 1t had been unable tt
reach an agreement, and that thi'
operated az an acquittal for the de
fend ant and, therefore, the third tria
was illegal, inasmuch as it PLACED
Keerl twice in jeopardy for the SAM
