penitentiary at Deer Lodge where he
served two years OF q 20 year sent.
ence imposed upon him. In addi.
ton he was assessed q heavy fine
Since that time Powder River coun-
ty was created and in a recent re-
versal of the findings of the district
court, the supreme court allowed a
new trial and Smith was remanded
to the custody Of Sheriff w. E. SUIT
ter. Mrs. Smith was likewise tried
on similar charges and similar dis
position was made of her case. Smith
was first discharged from the state
penal institution and brought 10
Broadus and later his wife followed.
On Christmas eve last year they were
both admitted to Lall. Smith in the
sum Of $4,000 and ,l;s wife in the
sum of $1,000. Since that time,
both have been so1ourning at Sheri-
dan. Wyo.. where Smith has been
employed at the Lininser Implement
company. Smiths Ease was set for,
trial in the district court here April
19 before Judge s. D. McKinnon and
1t is stated in this action he will be
represented by Attorney r. e. Nc
-Nalley Of Sheridan, Wyo.
1t was at Ashland several years
ago that Smith received his cogno-
men OF 'Glass-Arm." He was one Of
the principals in fightf in the Joe
Beatty store. His antagonist was
Glen Smith. 1t is said both were
under the influence OF liquor and
that the row started over some triy-
ial argument. In the melee w, X.
Smith was sent into glass show
cases. smashing them to smither-
eens and particles of glass remained
in Smiths arm. From this incident
Joe Putnam applied the nickname,
"Glass-Arm," to w. X. Smith. In
cidentally it may be mentioned that
at the time of tfe fsticuff the other
Smith Jared rs badly as "Glass-Arm,', -
making the acquaintance with a key
of nails. There were three Smiths
in the country at that time and il
order to distinguish them, the other
Glen Smith, Tree Top" and third
Smith was called Rag House.
From all outward appearances,
"Glass-Arm' Smith is not of foreign
extraction. Among other things it
Is stated that Smith and his wife |
made derogatory remarks of Presi-
dent Wilsan and are alleged to have
the hope that troop ships |
should fail to reach their destina-
tton and that their son drafted into
the service should be drowned be-
fore he set foot on foreign soil. The |
war started while the Smiths we're
in charge of the postoffice at Sayle
and it is stated they failed to lend
their assistance in prosecution Of the
wars cause.
