OF More Value Than Medals
Helena has a large and proud tro-
ply case in the high school building
in which are the silver cups, the med
ais and the banners awarded for the
schools successful conquests; but alt
Of these together would not equal the
statement Of a Bozeman man who
told me that he had never seen
Helena man pull an unsportsmanlike
act in the IA years that Helena has
competed for state honors in basket
ball. That was real and abiding
homage, and tribute TO Coach Thorn
as and to every father and mother
who have sent a boy to the Bozeman
tournament. A tribute Of more value
than all the silver trophy cups and
Tapping banners money could buy.
Coach Thomas Praises Team
"Helena's team did the best they
could and more could not be asked Of
them. said Coach Thomas last night.
In the face Of sickness and unfor-
seen hardships, the Helena team did
remarkably well and are to be COM
plimented on the showing they made.
Losing championship game by-a tiny
margin Of two points carried no sting
Of disappointment but proves that
they were fully on q par with cham.
pions, and the favor of fortune might
have fallen upon them instead of 20
the other team.
Coach Thomas statement in no
manner takes away any Of the glory
Of Butte's victory, because they play
ed hard for It and won il squarely and |
fairly. Seldom has Montana produced
d staE Of the magnitude Of Worden,
and coupled with the excellent work
of Lewis at guard and the other splen-
did fighters, ii would be hard to pro-
iuce a team in Montana that could
defeat them.

winner Of second place in the Montana
Enterscholastic basketball tournament,
returned from Bozsman and were well
coined by several hundred fans who

Fractured Skull

John Barnes, six-year- son of
Fireman and Mrs. Lester Barnes Of
462 Myrtle street, died shortly be-
fore noon today at the New Britain
General hospital from a fracture of
the skull, received when he was run
down on Myrtle street In front of

of 100 Curtis street. The boy was
a grandson OF Deputy Chief Eugene
L. Barnes Ct the fire department,
and his father Is connected with
Engine Company 4.
Chief William c. Hart said this
afternoon that unless evidence
comes to light that tends TO dis
credit the first reports on the ac-
cident, there will probably be no
criminal action taken against Keeh-
ner. The facts that have been gath
cred by the police thus far have
been turned over to Prosecutors Jo-
seph G. Woods for his consideration.
The dead boy is survived by his
parents and one brother, Lester,

DAMAGE OF $1,000 BY
FIRE ON ARCH STREET
Three Story Building at Rear of

Fire in a thrCe-story building at
the rear of 149 Arch street shortly
after 6 o'clock this morning re-
suited in about $500 damage be-
tore 1t was put out by the fire de-
partment in answer to an alarm
from Box "a at the corner of West
Pearl and Arch streets. The build
ing is owned by |. Milkowitz and
the loss is covered by insurance.
Chief William J. Noble OF the
fire department investigated the
blaze and reported that it had
been caused by a defective chin
rrE. The fire is believed to have
started in the partitions of the
third floor and made its way up
ward TO the roof, which was a mass
of flames when the department ar
rived.
Engine Co, was late in arriy-
ing at the fire as the result of a
mistake made by Captain John
Connolly in reading the tape. The
company went to Box gS at the
corner of Maple and Whiting
streets instead of to Box "a. As a
result, Chief Noble will prefer
charges against the captain and he
will be fined two days pay auto
mAtically, the standard penalty for
the offense, fixed by the board Of
fire commissioners.

BE the Fourth OF Her Sex To Pay
Extreme Penalty In N. Y. State
Elizabethtown. N. Y, Nov. 20 Up
Mrs, Fannie soper, 40, convicted of
murder in the first degree, for the
killing of her husband, Henry So
per, was sentenced to death in the
electric chair .Gby Supreme Court
Justice Whitmeyer today.
The date of execution was set for
the week beginning January 3.
Convicted by Jury
A jury, drawn largely from the
soil Of Essex county, yesterday re-
turned u verdict of murder, first
degree, after having listened for ten
days to u trial which has attracted
wide attention in the Adirondacks.
If Mrs. Soper is put to death she
will be the fourth Of her sex from
whom the state has exacted the ex-
treme penalty. Martha Koxilla
Druse was hanged in Herkimer,
February 2S 1887, for the murder
of her husband. Martha Place, who
was convicted in New York county,
was executed in Sing Sing prison on
March 20, 1889, and Mary Farmer,
convicted in Jefferson county, was
put to death in Auburn prison on
March 20, 1909. Mrs. Soper's at
torney, Patrick J. Tierney. of Platts-
burg has announced that an ap-
peal from the verdict would be
taken on the ground of improper
admission of evidence"
Showed No Emotion
Mrs. Soper received the verdict
with the same lack of emotional
display as has characterized her
outward appearaAce in court. Only
once did she falter and that was
when she took the stand in her own
defense and told her version of the
fatal shooting. Compelled to de-
tail how she had touched her hus-
bands arm after the shooting, the
widow faItered, wept and then
broke down.
Henry Soper was shot twice In the
head as he slept in the kitchen of
his quiet farm house after a hard
mornings work in the potato fields.
Mrs. SOper maintained that
stranger came to the door, asked
admittance and was allowed to en-
ter the room in which her husband
rested. Then, the widow main
tained, she heard two shots, found
her husband dead, and saw the
stranger disappear in an automo-
bile. The prosecution basing its
case largely on circumstantial evi,
dence, contended that Mrs. Soper
did the shooting, attempting to
prove, through testimony of an ex-
pert, that the two bullets were fired
from Soper's own revolver which
the widow attempted to keep from
the investigators.
Among the character witnesses
who appeared for Mrs, Sopcr was
her only daughter. Mrs. William
ElIsbury, of Elizabethtown. Mrs.
Ellsbury told of the happy home
life' of Soper and his wife. Soper
had two sons by former marriage.
and the Buquet property was willcd
to them.
The jury deliberated one hour and
forty-five minutes.
