ENPUBLICANS HEDGING. , Trying to Construe the Statutes to Suit Them. The Helena Herald says: 4We fear the Great Fills TaRIBUNE fails toWppreoiete the facttht. th e territorial nstaheS are only so far in force as they were not changed by the constitution and the ordinances adopted by the convention of the people had rendered ope ative by the peroehlamatlon of the president. We hold and believe that ordinance No. 2 su perseded the territorial law requiring COunty clerks to issue certificates to meol bers'of the legislature. If any are needed they must of necessity come from the board that makes the final canvass." o o, sirl The 'InRInuN has always held that the constitution supercedes certain territorial statutes, but it maintains with ex-Attorney General Clayberg that the law empowering county clerks to issue certifcates to members of the legislature Instill ia force. The constitution says nothing at all about legislative certilf cates. Judge Hedges assumes that it does so by implication, but the statutes mentions them expressly.

This being the close of the first term, officers were elected as follows for the ensuing term: A. T. Kellison, presil dent; Constable Hanton, vice president; H. W. Stringfellow, secretary; Miss Curtis, assistant secretary; Mrs. A. T. Kellison, treasurer: Judge Burcher, ear geant-at-arms. Then Miss Curtis opened the programme with instrumental music.

Little; address, Judge Thaxter; music, closing song. The degree of interest is superla tive, exceeding that of any other year and the expectation of its sanguine organizers.

HE WAS PLAYING THE PART OF MONARCH THERE. The People Made Short Work of Him self and His lalnd-They Hanged Them Without Mercy Order Restored. CUIYENNE, Wyo.. Dec. 15.-A plausi ble story of a terrible conflict between a gangof thieves and robbers and settlers romes from the Big Horn Basin, which is up in northwestern Wyoming, and more than two hundred miles from a rail way or telegraph line. While the recital ls on the wild and woolly order, it is giv en credence here, for a lawless gang has long terrorized that region. A desperate character called "Kettle Jack" leads the clan. He and a fewcom panions came there as miners, but soon threw oft all pretense of honesty or re spectability and commenced to lay tribute on the citizens. The latter objected at frst, but were cowed into submission after three men who attempted to recover a bunch of horses had been killed. Jack and his fellows, after perpetrating. a series of outrages, proposed to set up a monarchy in the Basin, with their leader as potentate. They formulated a decree, calling for an election, but hinting that the candidacy of others than the gang of ten would be fatal to the ambitions ones. i'he people took a determined stand against this, and 200 mounted and armed men moved on the camp of the despera does. Preparations were made for their reception, but they put the common enemy to route by the judicious use of a howitzer. The cut-throats fled like rats, and were hunted as mercilessly. They were strung up as fast as overtaken, until elevenhad been hanged. There was a series of ambuscades for three days, with the settlers victorious every time. Most of the outlaws met death unconcernedly. When captured they were worn out, hun gry and sleepy. It is believed that Jack escaped, but he will not return. He came from Central America, having fled there from Texas. The Cronin Murder Trial. CInCAno, Dec. 10.-It is expected that the Cronin jury will bring in a verdict to. dry.

I knocked him down again-and started to go to my train. I put my hand to my neck and fotund blood on my hand and t1ider my arm. aGeorge Ryan, F. L. Stacy and G. H. Farmer corroberated the above testimony. Dr. Iongeway testified as to the wound and treatment. It was a dangerous one and caused by a dangerous weapon.

If peoial correspondence of the TRIBUnEn. dSu RlIVE, Dec. 11.-Having 'been rocked in the territorial cradle lor twenty five years, statehood is reached, and our new star should shine with brighter lus ter than any of her adjacent sisters in the grand old flag. Montana is the most promising of all. The laughing waters of Sun river, fresh from the gushing mountaln fountaiss, brought down thousands of cords of wood to our good people recently. The river, ever changing, yet always the same, seemed to murmur that man should thus limit its freedom, vary its scene and ac quaint it with burden. We read the newsy, noble TRInuNE with eagerness akin to that of a letter from our far-away parents. Every home should be its happy recipient for the New Yesr, '90. The purchasing of the iron bridge across the Missouri is all-important. Agricul tural interests are maimed and trade is is crippled. Let's have free intercourse between east and west Cascade county.
