Conditions With the Stockmen of
This County Satisfactory Despite
Continued Cold Snap.
Others NOT SO LUCKY
Great Loss Reported by the Stock
growers of Yellowstone County
and Other Sections of State.

Although old-timers unite in saying
that the winter UP to the present time
has scarcely ever been exceeded in
prolonged severity, exports to the
Democrat from almost every portion
of Fergus county state that there has
been practically no loss of stock in
any portions Of Fergus county and
right now conditions are quite as fav-
orable as usual at this time OF year.
Much Ground Is Bare.
Teddy Abbott who has big ranch
over the other side of Gilt Edge, is
in the city and informs this paper
that there have been no losses over
his way. There is much bare ground
which affords stock a chance to get to
the rather abundant grass. A tele-
phone message from the Fergus out
fits give the same encouraging report.
B. F. Moulton is in from the Grass
Range and says that there has not
been amy loss at all down that way
and the stockmen are doing prac-
tically NO feeding
G. w. Noble, who lives high up in
the Snowy mountains, is also in the
city and states that there is more
snow in the mountains right now than
has ever been seen at any time in
twenty-five years. Despite this fact,
the snow has been blown off Of the
unprotected hills, thus affording
ample feed tor stock. The same
story comes from the western part
of the county. Much snow but suf-
ficient bare ground to keep sheep and
cattle going nicely.
Yellowstone Suffering.
All portions Of the. state are not SO
fortunate as Fergus county, however.
Reports from Yellowstone county
state that the greatest losses ex-
|perienced in years will be suffered by
the stockmen down that way this win

GRUPE DISCHARGED.
Former Lewistown Boy Acquitted of
Unjust Charge of Theft in Butte.

The following article, clipped from
recent issue OF the Anaconda Stand
and and referring TO a former popular
high school boy Of Lewistown, will
be read with interest and satisfaction
by Charley's numerous friends here:
There was nothing to it, as far as
the prosecution of Charley Grupe, a
young school of mines student, was
concerned, and he was tri1mphantly
acquitted in Justice Henry Foley's
court yesterday, after the state had
introduced its evidence
Young Grupe is from the northern
part of the state and is making an
through college, doing janitor work a,
the residence of one of the Largeys
"A week or SO ago the Largeys
missed number OF valuable dia-
monds. Suspicion seemed to point to
Grupe and he was arrested After a
few days of waiting his trial came up
yesterday. The testimony of the state
showed conclusively that the young
ster had nothing to do with the theft
Of the jewels, that he had no oppor-
tunity of taking them and that he had
never been in the room in which they
were at the time they were lifted. For
that reason Justice Foley promptly
granted motion for dismissal.
Mines Students There.
The students Of the school OF mines
attended the trial in a body In fact
it is stated they took the afternoon
off, to be on hand while their class
mate was being put through the grill
in order to lend their support TO the
youngster.
When the decision of the justice was
made the youngsters naturally "raised
the roof" of the court with their
cheers. They had right to cheer
Grupe has many friends among the
student body and they stood with him

experienced

New Organization Take Up Critical
Discussion Of Live Public Ques-
tons of the Day.
TWO GOOD PAPERS READ
Judge Cheadle Answers Criticisms of
Jury System-O. w. Belden Pre-
sents Interesting Paper.

The first working meeting OF the
Outlook Club since the organization
was held at the Bright hotel last
Wednesday evening and large ma
jority of the members of the club
were present.
The meeting was called to order
around the banquet table i'll the pri-
vate dining room at the Bright where
a most delightful six-course dinner
was served, under the direction OF
William Wheeler, the capable man
ager OF the cafe which is run in con-
nection with the big hostelry. Special
music was rendered during the course
Of the dinner by Haller's orchestra.
Presihent T T. Taylor was seated at
the head Of the table and the other
members present were 0. w. Belden,
Doctor F. F. Attix, +. G. Ivins, Tom
Pittman, Herbert T. Sackett, III. "A.
Davee, Guy L. Wait, G. Mccall
Mickelson, Otto Wasmansdorff, Rev.
Ernest Wright and Tom Stout.
Following the dinner, the regular
literary program for the evening,
comprising two prepared papers, crit
icisms and general oral discussion,
was taken up.
Judge Cheadle's Paper.
In the absence Of Judge Chcadle,
the very excellent paper which lie
had prepared was read by Tom Stout
His subject was, "T>he Jury System
Versus ttf, Commission Of Judges" /"
The papel was prepared with His
Honor's Usual care and showed no,
only his familiarity with the subject
IN hand btt positive convictions based
upon thorough research and long ex-
perience On the bench That the pres
ent jury system, with all of its faults,
is infinitely preferable to the system
OF commission of judges was the con-
clusion reached by Judge Cheadle. He
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1910-01-11

contends that judges, after all is said,
are as liable to err as jurors. Taken
as general proposition, 4 man who
devotes himself to the study and
practice of the legal profession de-
velops pronencss to justify his case
by technicalities and precedent rather
than by absolute equity.
The average jury, i'll the opinion OF
the judge, represents the average in
telligence of the time and country
and their verdict may be depended up
on to strike an average balance OF
Justice. In the discussion which fol-
lowed, all present agreed with Judge
Chcadle insofar as the jury system
relates to criminal cases but good
arguments i'll favor of the commission
system in civil cases were presented
by some of the members.
Most of the members took a fling
at our present legal procedure and
comparisons, whereby our system sui
fered, were made with the procedure
i'll vogue in England, Germany and
other European countries.
New Idea Advanced.
O. w. Belden's subject was States
Attorney for Both Prosecution and
Defense" This is a new question up
on which Mr.. Belden was able to
obtain but little data, nevertheless, he
presented strong paper III which the
many advantages of such a departure
from our present system were pre-
sented E. G. lvins, who was the
critic of this subject, contended that
such thing as one man representing
both the state and the defendant is
impossible and would not materially
advance the ends of justice. President
Taylor threw in the suggestion that
there should be a regularly employed
attorney to look after the interests
OF every defendant arraigncd at the
bar Of justice in addition to the reg
ulanly elected attorney who presents
the states case. The papers read on
the subject by Messrs. Belden and
Wins and the general discussion
which followed Mr.. Taylor's sugges-
tion Indicated that such plan would
be entirely feasible and would tend
to promote the administration OF JUS
tice especially in scores of cases where
the defendants are unable to employ
attorneys to look after their cases.
Will Hold Meetings Monthly.
Monthly meetings Of the Outlook
Club will bc held until well into the
summer. At each meeting there will
be presented two papers on subjects
which have been assigned which will
be followed by general discussion.
The objects Of the club are purely
literary, the only social feature be-
ing the collation. which shall precede
each evenings program.
