-The Fergus County Argus of Lew
istown in a report of the trial of James
Fisher, an accomplice of Billy Calder,
for the murder of Farquhar McRae and
John Allen, prints the pictures of the
condemned young men as well as James
Calder. In concluding its article on
the subject the Argus says: "James
Calder, who turned state's evidence,
will be kept in jail here until after the
other cases are finally disposed of, when
he will ulead guilty to a lesser charge
than murder in the first degree and
probably he sentenced to about five
years in the penitentiary. Thus will
the life of one equally as guilty as
Fisher be saved and the treachery of
turning against his own brother be re
warded."
gigrand ball was given at the
frmory hall Friday night by Miss
Edythe Gamble in connection with her
dancing school. About fifty couples
attended and enjoyed greatly dancing
to the inspiring strains of the Logan
orchestra. About twenty-five couples
competed in the prize waltz, and the

and Miss Mae Toole. For the cake

this novel contest, which the spectators
greatly enjoyed. The judges were Hon.
C. H. Loud, I. D. O'Donnell, H. W.
Rowley, Mrs. M. H. Tompkins and
Mrs. J. M. McIntyre. The 'affair was
a thoroughly enjoyable one and our
dancing people will be pleased to learn
that Miss Gamble will shortly give
another.
SENTENCE DIMINISHED.
Hugo J. Raymond, the Slayer of Bill
Bussy, Will Soon Be Out.
Governor Smith has granted three
thirty-day diminutions of sentence to
convicts confined in the state penitent
iary, one of whom is Hugo J.Raymond,
who was convicted of manslaughter in
Yellowstone county on February 26,
1892. Raymond had some difficulty
with a man named William Bussey, of
whom he professed to be afraid. Bussey
came to RaymoftA's road ranch about
twenty miles from Billings on New
Years day, after having been ordered
to Atay away, and Raymond took a long
range shot at him without effect.
Bussey then bid in an oat-box in the
barn, when Raymond, notwithstanding
Bussey was unarmed, shot Ihim full of
holes as he lay in the box.
Bussey's character was not good and
he had the reputation of being a cattle
rustler, and the jury returned a verdict
for manslaughter only, though by most
people the crime was regarded as an
atrocious murder. The prisoner has
served `out most of his seven years'
sentence and the thirty days off will
have the effect of restoring him to oiti.
