Rev. Afford --RevivaI Meeting

The annual Fergus county Sunday

long be remembered with pleasure
and profit by those who take an
active interest in that line of church
work.
Big Meeting Sunday.
The first meeting OF the convention
was held Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock in the M. i. church. The
pupils from the different Protestant
Sunday schools of the city marched
from the respective churches to the
meeting place. The large room was
crowded, many chairs having been
placed in the aisles to accommodate
the people.

States Case Is Brief.

For the state, Mr.. Dekalb called
J. +. Lane, who chanced to be pres
ent at the entertainment, and A. f.
Trapp. They established the fact
that moving picture entertainment
was given on the evening in ques-
ton, the feature being the throwing
on the screen of certain scenes from
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar"
When the state rested, Mr.. Belden
moved that the jury be instructed to
return verdict of acquittal, the state
having failed to show that Mr.
Heinecke gave the entertainment
Judge MacGowan plainly indicated
that he should follow this course,
when Mr. DeKalb asked leave to
withdraw the rest and went on the
stand himself to relate a conversation
with MIR. Heinecke, in which the lat
ter stated that he had given the en-
tertainment
Defense Wastes No Time.
The defense called just one witness
to prove that the entertainments was
really benefit and also to show that
it was not theatrical performance
and could not, by any stretch of the

Takes a Minute.
His eloquence was wasted, how,
ever, as it took the jury Just one
minute-only time enough to take a
bailot-to return a verdict Of not
guilty. The announcement was
greetd with hearty round OF ap-
plause, in which all the spectators not
identified with the movement result
ing in the arrest, joined
Mr.. DeKalb took the result phil
osophically. He was given an op-
portunity to make out his full case
and the jury was as representative
one as has ever tried case in this
city, SO that the prosecution had no.,
possible ground for complaint That
the verdict in this particular case is
supported by the general sentiment
OF the community is unqucstioned.

Was a Benefit.
The entertainment complained of
was given on Sunday evening, Feb.
IA. 1t was wholly and entirely for
the benefit of the Lewistown Ath-
letic association, the Lyric manage
ment deriving not one cent of profit
from it. Although the entertainment
was advertised for several days in
advance, the members of the Athletic
association were not let into the
secret of the intended prosecution
until a few hours before the show
was given, although it is understood
that Mr.. Heinecke was notified.
There is no ordinance against such
an entertainment, and few were
aware of the state law on the sub.
jeot.
Jury Is Secured.
The examination of jurors did nor
take great while. Mr.. DeKalb
peremtorially challenged D. J. Kane,
while Mr.. Belden excused J. NJ.
Campbell and Mr.. Matthews. The
jury as finally accepted consisted of
II. p. Imislund, Edward Sutter, Frank
Pick. Peter Shannon, Michael Cur

 The only other topic of conversation

 Today several people went from

 ditiOn to Bouse people who went. there were several from California and Nevada. who went from Bouse. and H L. Brown, superintendent of the Clara Consolidated at Swansea, came in this morning in his auto and went to the new strike. In addition to those who went out to the new strike several returned. and every returning gold hunter was amply rewarded with a bunch of good claims. There have been hundreds of claims staked out in this rich country during the past few days, and there are still hundreds more left
 Differences of Opinion.
 or course there are differences of opinion regarding this strike. Some state that it is simply a pocket and that there is no more gold in the coun- try. and others state that the country looks mighty fine and will produce several very rich mines with the prop CT amount of development. When all IS done and said, the knockers and the boosters are everywhere in evi- dence. but in this case the former are so few and the latter so many that every indication points to a successful result. Many very good mining men have looked over the country and have said positively that there is every in dication for a good proposition. and they have taken up claims or bonded some already taken up. They have backed their judgment with their money. Gold is where you find it every time, and no man can see any further into the ground than another. and the way to find out whether there is still more gold in the ground where the other came from is to go after it. and il is dollars to doughnuts that in telligent research will reward the min CT From the best of authority ob- tainable the formations are good. but of course there are those who wish to differ. and in this country every one is entitled to his opinion. but the

 Bouse a Winner.
 The Rouse people have gone into the strike to win, and when the strike is proven there will be a lot of Bouse people who will come out big winners. Bouse is filled with a good bunch of rustlers who are not afraid to get out they have gone into the Vicksburg strike like a duck to water. On Wednesday a large crowd came up from Phoenix to the new strike. Most of them stopped off at Salome to go in from that point and some came on to Bouse.
 Accommod ations.
 Of course there are no good accom- modationS at the new strike because it is back in the high mountains but Bouse or at Salome or at the Desert mine, which is but two miles and a half from Vicksburg and two miles from the new strike. Rouse can take care of all who come. but the Desert mine can only take care of q limited number. but those who can be taken care of are well taken care of. The drive from Bouse is a pleasant one. or a run can be made down in the morning and back in the evening via the railroad
