GEORGE T. RIGGS, CONVICTED
OF MURDER, GETS NEW TRIAL

Helena.-George 4. Riggs, convicted
OF the murder of his wife on March
y 1913. on the Huntley project. and
sentenced to death. was given lease
ON life by the state supreme court
In an opinion by Justice Holloway,
concDrred in in full by Justice Cooper
partly concurred in by Justice Hurley,
and dissented from by Chief Justice
Brantley and Justice Patten.
The majority of the court holds that
error was committed by the district
court Of Yellowstone county in not
admitting certain testimony and that
the testimony does not justify the YER
dict.
The judgment and order are revers-
ed and the cause is remanded for q
new trial.
In their dissenting opinion Justices
Brantly and Patton say that in their
opinion the evidence was sufficient to
justify the verdict, and that no error
prejudicial to the defendant was com.
mitted by the court during the trial.

night the new rOomer reached the
house, shortly after two o'clock in the
morning.
"Alcibiades" was perturbed by the
arrival Of the stranger, and his sus-
picions were aroused. Something
was wrong and the cat took ilnme-
date action. Climbing to the top of
the fence Immediately under the room
occupied by Soanes, he set up a pro.
longed howl until it's owner, seeming
trouble, arose and let the disturber in
the front door.
Dashing upstairs and squatting be.
fore the door of the new roomer, "Alci-
blades" continued his vocal exertions
with redOubled energy. Finally realiz-
ing what was troubling the mind of
the feline, Soanes explained the situ-
alton to the satisfaction of the feline,
whereupon "Alcibiades" subsidized, re-
turned to the front porch and quiet
was restored.
During the daytime "Alcibiades" has
for his playmate young bantam
rooster with which he shares his meals.

Boxing 10 illegal, says Court.

Helena.-The state supreme court
has decided that prize fights and box
Ing exhibitions are without the law.
The decision arose in appeals filed
from Gallatin and Silver Bow coun-
ties. where lower courts had held that
no law forbidding boxing remains on
the statute books. on the ground that
unfavorable action BY the people on
the Kiley act removed all such laws
from the books. The court decision
means that the law forbidding the
sport. which the Kiley net was to have
replaced, remains In force.
