GAMBLERS GET THEIRS

A nice quiet, little game of poker
was suddenly interrupted last week at
Oswego, and the four participants
were handed fines of $25.OO each.
One of the four, George Washing
ton CAM, better known among the
old time gamblers in this part of the
state as "Kicking George" put up a
big howl when "pinched," but when he
saw the uselessness of putting up a
fight, he pleaded guilty and paid his
fine. "Kicking George" blew into Os-
wego this spring and whenever there
was a little game of "poker" he was
Johnny on the spot. The Sheriff
office got wind of the affair and Depu-
ty Jack Teal went down last week
and caught four participants red
handed.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTRAC.
TION AT THE ORPHETIM

The sensation of the hour in amuse-
ment circles is George Kleine's pro-
duction of the Cines photo drama
spectacle "Anthony and Cleopatra.
Nothing like it has been seen in the
world and the prices paid for exclus-
i've rights by the different European
impresarios, have been astounding.
The subjects afforded the Cines Com
pany greater scope dramatically and
pictorially than their production of
"Quo Vadis" and they have taken am
pie advantage of it. The photo drama
is arranged in eight parts and three
acts, each one of which is dramatic
revelation. Signor Antony Novelli is
the Marc Antony and Signora Giov-
ann Teribili is the Cleopatra. They
are ably supported by host of bril-
liant actors in the minor characters,
some of whom played important parts
in "Quo Vadis". For spectacular mag
nificence this production has never
been approached. At the Orpheum

THE JURY

Canada. The state introduced in evil
dence the skull taken from the corpse
found in the grave near Crisler's
shack and some Of the clothing found
on it. The witnesses testified as to
the condition of the body when found,
and there was much corroborating
evidence that it was male corpse.
Tuesday afternoon. the state rested
its case and the defense put its wit
nesses on the stand. Their testimony
was largely centered on the sex of the
corpse, they stating that the sex could
not be determined from the condition
the body was in when exhumed.
Wednesday afternoon, the defend
ant, ]. A. Crisler, took the stand. He
told his story, of how he had come to
Montana, and met Brown and how
they had gone to Opheim to look for
land. That Brown had left their place
on the 7th day of May, 1914 and was
going away, being dissatisfied with the
country. He also stated that he had
seen Brown afterwards in Glasgow
When asked by his counsel whether
he had killed julius Brown, he answer
ed 81 did not"
On cross examination, Crisler made
a statement, that according to the
opinion of many of the spectators
who were present, will probably &C

Attorney Hurd why he did not inform
the authorities or Mrs. Brown that
he had seen julius Brown, when he

BANKERS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE

NARROW ESCAPE
Mr.. J. E. Arnot, President of the
Glasgow National Bank, returned Fri
day night from Belton, where he ac-
companied Messrs. F. p. Sheldon and
L. G. Truesdale Of Minneapolis, on a
tour through the northern part of
the state. All three are interested
in numerous banks in northern Mon
tana and after visiting them, they
decided to spend a few days in Glacier
Park. While making a trip down the
Flathead river, the boat they were in
hit rock, upsetting it and throwing
the occupants into the icy torrents of
the river. Mr.. Arnot, and Mr.. Shell
don swan to shore but Mr.. Truesdale
and the guide kept on going down the
river trying to right the boat, which
they finally succeeded in doing. AL
though drenched to the skin and chill
ed by the icy waters, none of the
party is any worse for the experience
Mr.. Arnot stated that they found
conditions along the line very prom
Using and that they were greatly
pleased with the outlook.

jury is CHARGED

Shortly after two o'clock Thursday
afternoon Judge Utter delivered his
charge to the jury in the case of the
State of Montana VS.. A. j. Crisler,
charged with the murder of julius
Brown on or about the 5th day of
May, 1914.
The jury was told what the infor-
nation filed against Crisler contain
ed, but that it in itself could not be
taken as evidence, and that they
should not consider that part of the
testimony which the court would not
allow to go on record, and cautioned
them not to consider the evidence in
troduced regarding Crisler's viola
tion of the customs act of Canada
or his relations with Mrs. Cole.
The Court explained to them the
difference between positive and cir
cumstantial evidence and stated that
if the state had proved allegations
made against the defendant, to find
him guilty and if not, to find him
not guilty, and that a man is pre-
sumed innocent until proved other.
wise.
He stated that there were two de.
grees of murder in this state, one
murder in the first degree and the
other murder in the second degree
What is meant by murder in both de.
grees was explained to the jury.

OVERCOME BY GAS

Jacques Taillon, homesteader who
resided few miles northwest of Sco-
bey, came to his deah last Tuesday
while assisting in digging we'll on
the farm of J. B. Paradi. During the
digging operations they had struck a
vein Of coal and they had turned their
endeavors to ascertaining the size of
the coal vein.
At first it was thought that only
a small pocket had been struck and
Taillon ventured to the bottom of the
we'll. He discovered though that the
fumes were very strong and danger
Gus and Immediately started to return
to the top but before he had gone
far he was stricken and fell to the
bottom.
Owing to the density of the gas, it
was impossible to assist the man until
it was too late. Several futile efforts
were made, but it was two hours be-
fore the body was finally removed.
Physicians were summoned but before
they could reach the scene the de-
ceased was beyond all human aid.

GOOD RAINS LAST WEEK

Good soaking rains were general
over the state as a whole during the
first week in June with temperature
somewhat lower than usual for the
season. The rainfall was especially
pronounced in the central counties
just east of the divide where the week.
ly amounts in many instances exceed
ed the June normal. Little or no rain
fell in the extreme northwest portion.
Notwithstanding the cool weather,
crops of all kinds made satisfactory
progress but warm weather and sun
shine are needed. Winter wheat is
heading and all spring grains are
we'll advanced.

Shortly after nine o'clock this morn.
ing the jury in the Crisler murder case
gave notice that they had arrived at
a verdict. The Judge and attorneys
for the State and Defense were SUM.
moned and everything put in readi-
ness to hear the decision of the twelve
men, who held Crisler's fate in their
hands.
At 1000 a. m. the jury were called
out of the jury room and walked ia
their seats. When asked by the Judge
whether they had arrived at verdict,
they stated that they had. The de-
fendant, ]. A. Crisler had been brot
up from the Jail by the Sheriff and
sat in chair near his attorneys.
While the roll of the jury was being
called. he sat twirling his thumbs, no
visible sign of any emotion being in
evidence on his face.
The foreman of the jury, Mr.. J. H.
Phillips handed the written verdict
to the Judge, who turned it over to
Clerk of Court Stanley to read.
The silence in the court room was
intense, and everyone listened to catch
every word. When the Clerk got t0

rest of his days behind the prison
bars. Crisler sat apparently unmov.
ed, betraying no emotion, and although
the cynosure of all eyes, he did moi
finch in the least.
Sentence will not be passed upon
him today.
That Crisler was expecting the max
imum penalty for the crime. that OF
death by hanging, is the opinion Of
those who have observed his actions
the past few days. When the CASE
went to the jury, and he was put ir

and nervous.
After hearing the verdict of th'
jury, he walked to the Jail with De

STATE FILES
SELECTIONS
2O6, 900 Acres Filed on Between
Scobey and Opheim.
! MUCH GOOD LAND LEFT
State Has Until July 18th to Exercise
Rights to Remaining Land. Many
Filings Being Made.

On Friday June 4th, the State of
Montana filed its list of Indemnity
School Land Selections in the U. S.
Land Office here. =.
1t was the biggest land filing that
will ever be made in Montana and COM
prises 206,800 acres of land lying in
16 townships between Scobey and Op-
helm. Mr., Sidney Miller, Register
of State Lands exercised the right of
the state and made the filing here.
This land has been hanging fire for
many years. It had it's inception
when the federal government by proc
lamation established the many forest
reserves in the state and arbitrarily
sought to assume jurisdiction over un
surveyed section 16 and 36 in each
township within the reserves. These
sections were granted to the common
schools when Montana was admitted
to statehood. The state insisted that
it had control over these sections and
the situation became so critical at one
time that the state officials were on
the point of calling out a company of
Militia to enforce the states claim.
The crisis was averted by telegraphic
correspondence. and, finally, after
numerous conferences at Washington,
an agreement was reached whereby
the state waived it's right to the for
est reserve lands and was given a
blanket preference right to the unsur
veyed lands in eastern Montana. Un-
der the terms of the agreement, after
the survey plats covering the lieu
land were filed, the state had 60 days
in which to make selections. On the
lands filed on Friday, this right ex-
pires July 18th. The land was ap-
praised and examined last summer by
field agents under the direction of
State Land Agent, C. s. Whipple.
Although the States rights to Sc
lect more land do not expire until
July 18th, hundreds of interested per-
sons have made filings on lands not
selected Friday. The land office has
ruled, however, that all filings made
will be suspended until after that date.
Many of those who have already fil-
ed are squatting on the land they
have picked, in order to establish
preference right, so that even though
someone else may. have filed on that
certain tract, they can show prior set
tlement.
When the lands were first with
drawn, there were 1886 acres in the
tract. and of these the state selected
10000 acres, leaving about 1852 900
acrs that will be open to settlement
under the enlarged homestead act, or
in the neighborhood of five hundred
good claims.
The land in this tract is excep-
tionally good, and it is estimated that
after July 18th, there will be very lit
tie land left of that which the state
did not select.

in verdict of not guilty.
Attorney William Ruffcorn made the
opening argument for the state, COW
ering the states case thoroughly.
