STRONG AGQUITTED.
The Slayer of William Houx
Acquitted Yesterday at
Billings.
The Wheels of the Grist Mill
Grind out the Snowy
Meal.
HE GOE S COrT FREE.
The Plea of Self-l)fenae Prevails it the
btroag Cae.
PIter V. B. Strong, who has been
on trial in the court at Billings since
Tuou.day, for the murder of Wm. P.
Hmux, was acquitted ye.terday morn
bhg at about 2 o'clock, the jury haviug
been out on the case about ten hours.
8troog was charged with having
shot and killed Houx in December
last at a place in the north eastern
porth n of the county called Etchetah.
He afterwards delivered himself to the
authorities at Junction City.
His attorneys were Dr. W. A. Bur
leigh, of Miles City, his son A. F. Bur
leigh, of Helena, John Fairfield, of
Miles City, and O. F. Goddard, of Bit.
linla. The attorneys for the prosecu
tion were County Attorney Goes and
Judge J. W. Strevell, of Miles City.
Several witnesese were examined
on each side, but the bulk of the time
was taken up iu argument on points
of law.
The theory of the prosecution was,
that the prisoner had with malice and
forethought, prem ,ta.tedly mour
dered the deoeesed, ,u, that he did
this out of jealousy. Mrs. Kate Houx,
the wife of the deceased, testlfied as to
the killing, and James Winters gave
corroborative tetimony. Speaking
of the occurrence after the killing
Mrs. Houx said: "After Mr. Strong
shot toy husband I went around to
him and put my had over his heart
and he was dead; I asked Mr. Strong
how he could do such a thing; he said
Bill started to pull a gun on him; I
said if you will examine you will find
Will had no gun. Strong laughed and
said 'then he is out of luck.' Mr.
Winter came over and put his hand
over my husband's heart and took it
out covered with blood, sand said to
Mr. Strong, 'got oa your horse and
go.' Strong got his horse, and Mrs.
Strong, Winters and myself carried
Mr. Houx into the house."
The case as presented by the defense
was that Houx had been gullty of
alienating the affections of Mrs. Strong
who was a young and a remarkably
beautiful woman. The two famalles
lived in one house, and the attentions
which Bouz paid to the Strong
woman was marked. Strong and
Houx had quarrels repeatedly and
there were threats on both sides to
one anothere life. The jury took the
view that the deceased was in the
most wrong, and that StBarong was in
consequence justified in his act.
It cannot be doubted that the onm
bined ability of the attorneys for the
defense was the power that convinced
the minde of the jury and not the
lucid elearnees of the prisoner from all
guilt as presented by the evidenoe.
A GOOD BRGINNINGs
Succrsaul Opening of the Mill City Feed
Mills.
Purpuant to announcement In the
JOURNAL the Mile@ City Feed Mills
were started up yesterday afternoon
In the presence of a large crowd who
had assembled to honor the oooselon.
Some delay occurred in the fitting of
belts, but sa about alf past three
everything was in readiness and the
power oorn sheller was put to work
on a grist of ear orn and proved to be
a model machine, doing its work with
a oelerity and nompletenees that could
not be excelled; next the crusher
was put in service and being fed with
oorn in the ear, turned out4 perior
article of ground feed, oonsisting of
both corn and oobs. Then the corn
meal mill was attached and after some
profesional attention at the hands of
Messr. Cleland and Feeler, It was
pronounced ready for work and the
work began. It was run on corn
meal and a the moahnery gained
motion and began to hum, the meal
made its appearance at the delivery
sput and was quiokly gthred by
the handful by interested speoltat
who passed the sampletm auee and
commented on the quality. Altheua
the detail of the progran had hbsM
announced In advance, it seemed t be
quite a surprite to moat evwflee pro
eat that the mill enld do s tIIh
work s was done yestrdq. 0f . ro
beingn tral trip, wlth eow Senerley,
thee was mem bhltab. With the
eooan sl milli the bolr did 0no4
iab- eL t s, sad emu---qmUt Its,
ability to turn out fne bolted meal
could not be definitely suoertalned.but
the unbolted product wai pronounced
by judges to be a first class article, so
there is no doubt but that the better
grade can be easily made as soon as
the maohlne is in perfect running
order. Farmers and ranohmen who
have anything to grind can now bring
it in and the work will be done with
neatneus and despatch at the Miles
City Feed Mills.
When the highest degree of suocess
had been reached and everything was
running as nearly uorreot as possible
for a nirt trial, Bupt. Ullman stepped
over to the electric light plant and
with a smile a yard wide, hung him
:elf on to a ropo attached to the big
whistle, from which itued a strident
blast of about three mwinutes duration
tbat announced the uccessful startion
of the enterprise and brought a fresh
crowd of pectators to the mill.
A RCUNDAY MOS INU AT FORT KEOGH.
How the "Nigbt Off" Company Was Enter
ta.ed at the Post.
The fllowing communication was
written by Mr. E. Guy Spangler, a
member of the "Night Off" company,
and who performed in that play the
character of the physician and son-ln
law to Professor Babbitt:
We were booked for one night only
at Fort Keogb, in the bheart of the mil
hary reservation, and as our last stand
was Miles City, only two miles die
taut, we rode over in a rickety vehicle
behind two lazy wules.
After fording the Tongue river we
had a pleasant two-mile drive in the
soft evening twilight, when the team
paesed the ofloers' quarters and
stopped in front of a little improvised
theatre, which sent a thrill through
me till I felt like ejaculating, "Bar,
stormers, indeed ! " The soldiers so.
sembled about the wagon and gazed
upon us as curiosities. But, neverthe
less, we won their hearts before the
evennlo was over. First, because the
play delighted them, and second, they
were appreciative.
As the company alighted two fine
looking officers received us and endea
vored to excuse rhei; temporary little
theatre and all that, but we afterward
discovered that the theatre didn't
noed any excusing. The Interior was
as pretty a little play house as it has
been my pleasure to play in. It way
decorated in white and red cloth, just
seting2.,pe.!,le. , -
It looked like a long tent, with
Amerwlc'i emb..m draped at inter
vals. The wintows were poriered in
white with ban Ie of red, and the seats
for the six ofithers were upholstered
with the saw, snowy cloth. The
stage, well, it was really no stage; it
was a little parlor, with a pretty fire
place and mantel, lambrequin and
meay chers; when you eat In onb you
felt at homr. Tables, portiere, etob
lags, bits of brio-a-brre, kindly lansed
by the wives of the big hearted ofm
cers, and when the curtain rose, there
they all sat, from the noble looking
colonel down to the smiling sergeant.
and baek of them 150 n*o looking pet
vates. The ofmoera of dletingubhed
aspeet and consequential air, with
brosed f.oes, laughed and applauded
the efforts of nine weary worn barn
stormers. But even bara4tormln be
oomee a pleasure when one's effbrts
are appreciated.
After the peformance the genial
lieutenant Invited the boys over to the
mess room to have a "wet" with "a
bit of sods."
We wet.
Indeed to the belght of nur ez
huberence and conviviality of sptrits
we quite forget the ladies, who were
anxiously awaitling e, perched on the
old rickety wagon. Then the major,
more thaoghtful than we, invited the
ladies Into the little ehapel, not to bhear
a sermo at 11:30 p. m., but for bottled
beer and cheese and crackers, a chat
eter of refreshment whbleh, however
muoh partaking of the oarse. is ex
oeadingly aceptable after the trying
hftigoes of three hours of stage stomp

our little paruy in fropt of the Miles

barracks a long bugle call greeted our
