Long before the doors were thrown

night for the initial performance a
long line had formed from the ticket
window down the sidewalk toward
Wallis store waiting for the opening
Of the new picture palace. When the
crowd was finally admitted the house
was quickly filled and remained filled
until the close of the last performance.
The program was an exceptionally
strong one and was highly enjoyed by
all who attended. The musical num-
bers by the orchestra consisting of
VIM. Esmay, violin, Miss Edith Cook,
piano. and Chic Knapp. drums. was one
of the big features of the evening.

James, Williams. IL prisoner in the
county Jail, who was sent up for six
months August 31st for stealing goods
at the time of the Milestone fire, We'd
nesday night confessed to Deputy
Sheriff Sam Young and County Attorn-
ey Desmond J. O'Neil that he had set
the fire which caused the destruction
OF the greater part Of Melstone. The
matter has been gnawing at Williams
conscience ever since he committed
the crime, and it was i'll order to re:
ieve himself and ease his mind that he
decided to tell the truth and take the
penalty imposed by law In his con.
fession he stated that he has a mania
for setting fires, and that in setting
the town of Melstone afire he had no
other purpose or object IN view than
the pleasure of seeing the blaze. Will
liams is a trancient in the country and
not much is known about him here.
He was arrested at the time of the
Melstone fire for stealing some goods
that were removed from the stores, 1t
not being suspected that he had any
thing to do with the setting of the fire
Following the fire many were Of the
opinion that 1t was of incendiary orig
in but no motive could be ascribed for
anybody doing SO. The confession
clears up the whole mystery. and will
no doubt be relief to the inhabitants
of MelstOne.
Williams will be arraigned on an
information tomorrow. County Attor-
ney Desmond J. O'Neil being out of
the city today. The prisoner has ex-
pressed his willingness to plead guilty
a charge of arson. He will no doubt
be sentenced Immediately after enter
ing his plea. The statutes of the state
of Montana provide a penalty Of five
years Imprisonment in the state peni-
tentiary for first degree arson.

MUST RE-REGISTER
YOU DID NOT VOTE
Where the Voter Fails to Cast Ballot,
the Name 10 Struck of the BiQ
Register.

The several hundred or more citi.
zens OF Musselshell county who failed
to exercise their right of franchise at
the recent election will be disbarred
from voting hereafter unless they reg.
lister again.
The law provides that where a reg.
istered voter fails to exercise his right
he is no longer considered as having
that privilege unless he reiterates his
declaration. He can correct the error.
or mistake. of not going to the polls
and voting by re-registering: other
wise. he will have no vote.
The result of all this Is that an
entirely new register will have to be
prepared the ensuing year. The men
who voted at the last election are duly
redited with this public duty and their
names will simply be transcribed in
the new registry book, while those who
did not vote at the late election must
register again before they can vote.
1t is generally believed that the pro-
visions of the law in regard to registra-
tiOn were not understood by those who
failed to vote at the last election, otheI-
wise there might have been a bigger
vote and different result. But, how
ever this may be, it is certain that the
electors who failed to exercise the.
franchise at the last tration would
hold good indefinitely will be unde-
ceived when they undertake to vote In
the future. unless they again place
their names on the big register at the
court house.
