Alleged Slayer of Thomas Burke,
Maiden Prospector, Found Guilty
BY Jury Thursday Afternoon.
SENlENCENEXI MONDAY
Condemned Man Will Either Be
Hanged or Sent to the State
Penitentiary for Life.

The jury in the case of Stephen
Suiter, charged with the murder Of
Thomas Burke, of Maiden, last Thurs
day Afternoon, at 3 o'clock, brought
in verdict finding the accused guilty
Of murder in the first degree. The
verdict was great surprise to Suiter,
and his attorneys will endeavor to Sc
cure new trial, and failing in that,
will appeal to the higher courts.
Sentence Next Monday.
Judge Cheadle has announced that
he will pronounce sentence on Suffer
next Monday, Oct. 3. The penalty,
under the verdict, must be hanging
or life Imprisonment
The case Of the state was made out
substantially as outlined in County
Attorney Huntoon's opening state
ment, given in the last issue Of the
Democrat. A very strong chain of
circumstantial evidence was forged
against the defendant, but the defense
put in some equally convincing testi-
mony, number of well-known
citizens of Maiden appearing for the
defense. Suiter himself was the main
witness for the defense and put up
story on the witness stand which
was plausible in every particular. In
order to hasten the trial Of the case,
night sessions were held. County At
torney Huntoon opened the argu-
ment for the state Wednesday eve
ming. He was followed by Attorneys
Coleman and Ayers in order for the
defense. Both defending attorneys
made splendid addresses in behalf Of
their client, although Mr.. Coleman
was prevented from putting forth his
best efforts as speaker because of

his old home in England, this being
his first trip back there since he left

the theatrical history of Lewistown.
The chorus is an especially strong
feature. The big company will ar
rive here Sunday night and rest until
Monday, SO that there is no chance
for any hitch Or delay. The sale Of
seats will begin at Phillips drug store

rather surprising information that his
partner. Charles William Augustus
Won Altenheimer Morton, was mar
ried sometime yesterday in Helena.

quaintance. and on behalf of many

PETITIONS SENT TO GREAT
NORTHERN AND THE MIL
WAUKEE ROADS.

Within the past week, petitions
numerously signed by the business
men of Lewistown have been sent to
the proper officials Of the Great Nor
thern and Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railroad companies, asking that,
upon the completion of the two roads
now in course of construction through
Fergus county, round houses and ma
chine shops be located in this city.
Commercial Club Takes Lead.
The matter was taken up by the
Commercial Club several weeks ago
and Secretary Mathews circulated the
petitions, which were numerously
signed High officials of the road
have given personal assurance that
these petitions will be given the most
careful consideration.
An Advantageous Point.
Those best informed on the subject
inform the Democrat that there is
better than an even break in favor OF
at least one. and possibly both OF
these petitions, being favorably acted
upon The Great Northern, especially
will have no shops for several hun
dred miles east OF LewistoWn 1t IS
known that this is to be the through
line of the Great Northern, and for
that reason, it is believed that Lew
istown will be able to offer advantages
such as will tend to bring the shops
here. The Milwaukee has shops al
Harlowton, but that is not on the
road which will pass through this
city, and this gives the business in
terests hopes that we may also get
the big works in this section from
that road
Would Be Great Factor.
The location of big machine shops
here would mean much to Lewistown
in business way 1t would mean
an addition of several hundred peo-
pie to Our population at once, big,
steady payroll. and would also in
fuence the location of other shops
and manufacturing industries in this
city.

STEAM ROLLER runs
over COLONEL CRULL
ROUNDUP ATTORNEY FORCED
TO RESIGN FROM REPUB-
LICAN TICKET.

Colonel +. J. Crull. OF Roundup,
has been thoroughly hattened out by
the republican steam roller in Fergus
county, and as result, is no longer
on the republican ticket for county
auditor
1t will be remembered that Col.
Crull was nominated despite the op-
position OF the Roundup delegation.
He was placed in nomination by a
Kendall delegate and his selection
was unanimous, with the exception OF
the opposition OF the delegates from
his home precinct. The opposition
III Roundup then got busy and very
strongly intimated that what they
would do to the colonel at the polls
would be a plenty. This caused the
local leaders to get busy and they
wiped the colonels name off the
slate, last week, placing H. p. Imis-
lund, OF Lewistown, in his place.
Colonel Crul would probably have
stuck despite all opposition but for
the fact that he realized thar he was
up against a sure defeat at the hands
OF Charley Myersick For that rea-
son, with very good grace, he has
relinquished the basket of citron to
Mr. Imislund.
Mr.. Imislund is at present holding
down the position OF city clerk of
the city Of Lewistown, position
which pays one hundred dollars per
month. He accepted the place on
the county ticket under pressure. II
he should follow the example Of Col
Crull and be eliminated from wha,
appears a hopeless contest for the re-
publicans, it is difficult to forecast

where little Coleman Stout will be
placed in sanitarium for treatment
for infantile paralysis, with which he
was stricken about three months ago.
The little chap is about the finest in
the world, we think, and reports OF
his progress in the southern sani-
tari,m will be of more interest to the
editor Of the Democrat during the
next few months than all OF the politi-
cal dope that can be hatched up.

strong plea, citing the fact that Suiter
is an old-timer, man whose reputa-

the many years that he has resided
