WHITNEY SENTENCED
Get. Three Year. From Judge Hur-
ley In Miles City This
Week.

At ten o clock Thursday, a jury
was secured in district court for
the trial of Charles Whitney of
the Sykes neighborhood. Both
state and defense exhausted their
challenges before the jurors
were chosen, who will pass on
the guilt or innocence Of Whit
ney. The jury consists OF the
following men: R. NJ. Long,
Moorhead: Frank R. Garvin,
Marsh; John Bradford, Mics
City; Frank E. Hogmier, Mild
red; Walter Pease, Ismay; Ed
ward S. Lower, Hathaway; R.
L. Green, Knowlton; Fred j.
Fritz, Hockett; William Rearan,
Miles City; John l.. Lindmyer,
Terry; Ernest kirkpatrick, Ter
ry; Jack G. Smith, Powderville.
The specific crime with which
Whitney is chargel. is with the
offering to George Pue Of Sykes
the sum of $50 to induce him to
sign a certain bill of sale for the
transfer of a horse that A. H.
Long was charged with stealing,
and for which crime he was sub
sequently convicted and sent to
Deer Lodge. The hor: e in ques-
ton was alleged to belong to R.
l.. jackson and the bill Of sac
which it is charged that Whitney
asked Pue to sign, was fraudu-
lent, according to the allegations
Of the state. Longs trial was
held in June and out of the de-
velopments of the case, warrants
We're Issued for the arrest of
Whitney and Mary Moore, the
charge against Miss Moore being
subsequently, dismissed.
The " whitney case was up for
hearing during the last term of
district court, but was continued
IN the grounds that the com
plaint as it stood, did not charge
a public otfense.
Then came the witness George
Pue, one of the star witnesses
for the state. Pue. told of his
conversation with Whitney and
of the offer made by Whitney,
that he would give Pue $50 tc
sign the bill of sale. In the
cross examination certain state.

nesses.
The crucial testimony Of the
state was sprung in the after
noon when A. H. Long. convict
ed felon, serving a sentence o1
five years at Deer Lodge fol
horse stealing, was placed or
the witness stand and testified
that the bill of sale that it is al

that it was through his (Long's,

evidence and lay bare the entire
matter of their alleged opera
tions together. Whitney refused
to do as Long wanted and the
latter wrote to the authorities
with the result that Long was
brought here Sunday and lodged
in Jail to testify in this case.
Longs disclosure formed a
dramatic climax. The defend
ant looked his former friend d.
rectly in the face when he was
testifying, and Long from time
to time shifted a half glance at
the man he was dragging into
the penitentiary after him. At
the conclusion Of his examina-
ton, he was returned to the
county jail. Directly after, Car
rie Pue, wife Of George Pue,
was placed on the stand, and
testified as to Whitney's visit to
their place in March. VIM. R.
Grose and Charles N. Hyde were
also called to substantiate The
date, but the latter failed to fix
the date to a certainty as to the
time Whitney was at his place,
but witness testified that the
defendant endeavored to get him
to sign a certain bill Of sale for
the transfer of a horse and made
offers to him to induce him to
get him to do so. Miles City
Journal. >.-
The jury in the above case
brought in a verdict Of guilty
early Sunday morning. The
penalty for the offense under
our state laws is five years as
the limit Of the sentence in the
penitentiary that can be imposed.
The jury left the matter of SEN
tence at the discretion Of the
court, although they were al
lowed to fix the duration of the
sentence.

to three years in the peniten-
tiary by Judge Hurley Tues.

The esteemed Globe-Democrat con-
tends that the people of the United
States voted for protection last No
vember. It bases that contention on
the fact that Mr.. Wilson did not re-
ceive majority Of the popular vote.
It believes, or pretent to believe, that
if the Colonel had not bolted Mr.. Taft
would have been reelected. It is
one Of the few newspapers in the
country that entertain that belief. It
has forgotten, too, that there was no
Bull Moose storming the range in
1910 and that the people that year
voted for protection by wiping out
the Republican majority in the House
and installing Democratic majority
there. Finally, as has elsewhere

Automaton a Hard Fighter

Copenhagen, Denmark, May o.
The dream of a Danish engineer
named Aeson of seeing the next war
waged by automatons instead Of SOL
diers has developed into the patent
ing of an invention which, he says
will revolutionize defensive tactics.
Aeson's contrivance is a cylinder
which may be buried in the ground
for years in the same fashion as sub
marines are place in harbors, doing
no damage until they are fired.
The cylinder is operated by cleo
tricity from a station four or five
miles distant. When a button d
pressed the cylinder jumps two feel
from the ground and fires 400 shots
horizontally, the shots being effec.
tive at q range Of 1900 yards.

The Athletics Win Z to 6 from
Appleton

The Butler Athletics appeared for
the first game Of the season on their
own grounds last Friday, the same
being Decoration Day, and in spite Of
the fact that a local photographer
came on the grounds and took their
pictures before the game, they
trounced their opponents good and
plenty. Shelton was thrust into the
heaving in the second inning with the
score 5 to 0 against Butler. Il IS
thought to be very fortunate that APP

to appropriate the Aforesaid quintet
Of runs before the appearance Of Mr..
Shelton, our musical spit-hall artist,
for a close scrutiny Of the score board
reveals only two scores amassed by
the Appleton hostiles after the second
spasm.
Hard and consistent plugging, with
nobody laying down on the game,
characterized the playing Of the But

displayed. in view Of the short time
the team has been together. The
