Secretary Blaine Monday morning re
sumed the discharge of his duties as
secretary of state. He arose early and
soon after breakfast went over to the
white house. Secretary Tracy soon
joined him there, and together they had
a long consultation with the president.
Tt was nearly noon when the secretary
left the white house and walked over to
the department of state. He entered
his private office and plunged at once
into business. There appeared to lye no
official news at the departments respect
ing the latest phase of the Chilian
trouble. Nothing had been received
from Commodore Schley, and Secretary
Blaine sent word that there was nothing
to communicate upon the subject.
Devastating storms swept through
France, Spain and Italy the past week,
doing great damage to property and're
sulting in serious loss of life. A Paris
dispatch says the'.cliuiax was reached
Sunday, when the"wind blew with great
violence over the Gulf of Lyons and the
island of Corsica. An immense number
of vessels have taken refuge at Mar
seilles,^many of them in a damaged con
dition. Towns in the valley of the Aude
have been'greatly damaged by the floods
in that stream. Troops were called out
to assist in saving property and two of
them were drowned while at work.
There are grave fears of disaster along
the river valleys in France, Spain and
Italy, which are greatly ^flooded. At
Lima the floods undermined several
buildings, which subsequently collapsed.
Twenty inmates were killed and nine
other persous were buried in the de
bris. Railways have been washed out
and much other damage done.
The jury in the libel suit of Ignatius
Donnelly against the Pioneer Press for
$100,000 damages, on trial at Minneapo
lis, brought in a verdict Saturday giving
Donnelly $1, and allowing him $5 for
counsel fees. The trial has been proba
bly the most famous in legal annals in
the northwest. Ignatius Donnelly sued
the Pioneer Press for $100,000 actual
damages on account of the republica
tion of a letter from Colonel King, for
merly postmaster of the house of repre
sentatives, flrst published in the Pioneer
Press eleven years previously. It was
on account of allegations of bribery
made in the letter that Donnelly brought
the suit. The jury was out three hours
and at one time stood 11 to 1 in favor of
the Pioneer Press, but in yiew of the
fact that one instance of alleged bribery
in congress could not be proved, owing
to the death of a witness, they returned
the verdict stated, making the damages
purely nominal, solely on account of the
single failure of proof.
The New York detectives have just
unearthed the headquarters of the
"green goods" business in that city, to
gether with cipher code, books of refer
ence, lists of names of some 6,000 peo
ple, letters from whom have been re
ceived from every state in the union.
They have also arrested Prank Brooks
and Terrence Murphy, the head opera
tors and leaders in the business. It has
also been learned that the combination
has just sent out 500,000 circulars and
letters preparatory to the winter's work.
Inspector Byrnes has the names of peo
ple to whom the circulars were ad
dressed, and will look after further cor
respondence in his own way. Among
the many letters seized was one from
Superintendent Reid of the Home Stock
farm, Alpine, Ind. He incloses $50, for
which he was to receive $500 in "green
goods." He asks that they be expressed
him at Connorsville, and naively says:
"I presume it wouldn't be wise to at

and she was a very small child when she
saw the first white man. Her people
were scattered at that time nearly all
over the territory now known as Nevada.
Her grandfather was chief of the en
tire Piute nation and was camped near
Humbolt lake, when the flrst white peo
ple were seen going through to Cali
fornia. This old Piute as soon as he
learned that th e whites were in sight
made haste to welcome them, but was
3tood off and the old man's heart was
sore thereat. Three years later the old
man had better success for he met "The
Pathfinder," and was christened by Fre
mont as "Captain Truckee," which
means when interpreted, that Truckee
was a good Indian. Sarah being an ex
traordinarily intelligent |iersou was sent
by her poople to Washington in 1882,
where she presented a petition asking
that the tribe lie restored the Malheur
reservation, in consideration of the ser
vices of her grandfather in guiding Gen.
Fremont to California. Sarah acted for
Gen. Howard's department as guide and
interpreter during the Bannock and
Piute war and wns highly compliment
ed by him for her compassionate ser
vices. During this war she was instru
mental in bringing her father and his
immediate band of Indians out of the
the hostile Bannock camp near Juniper
lake, Oregon in 1878; after which she re
mained with Gen. Howard's command
and did good service in inducing Indians
to come in and surrender.
She taught an Indian school at Van
couver barracks for one year, and lec
tured for some time in the east upon
the wrongs her people had sustained by
the invasion of the whites and the
"peace policy" of the government, which
took the Indians away from their homes
and scattered them over the country.
She also wrote a book, which had a large
sale. All in all, Sarah was a remarkable
woman, although of late years site has
not been heard of.

Success of (lie Efforts to Scotch Kail Bak

The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company upon
the hosts of adulterated and impure
baking powders sold throughout the
country is having a desirable effect.
The scandalous attacks upon the Royal
company by the manufacturers of the
impure goods (which are made doubtless
both from a spirit of revenge and in the
hope of breaking the effect of the dam
aging exposurest. show that they are
hit, while the official reports that come
from various public authorities fuHy
corroborating the statements made by
the Royal company, have awakened a
wholesome public sentiment in favor of
repressive laws, which means mischief

to the illegitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder Company
set out some time ago to expose the
character and break up the sale of adul
terated baking powders. Having found
from an examination of many specimens
that there was a large number of actu
ally injurious powders in the market,
they brought the matter before the pub
lic and denounced the makers by name
in the preas and to the health authori
ties. The affair was taken up by physi
cians, boards of health and legislatures
throughout the country, chemists were
employed to test the various powders in
the market and the government itself
directed analyses to be made before it
would purchase the supplies needed for
army, navy and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges made
by the Royal company. Not only were
the majority of baking powders in the
market found to be largely adulterated,
but many of them were ascertained to
contain alum and other poisonous in
gredients to such an extent as to render
them positively unsafe for use in human
food.
In making the charges the Royal Bak
ing Powder Company did not hesitate to
enter into competition with every other
baking powder in the country, and it is
a public satisfaction that in the official
tests by the government and state chem
ists and by boards of health, the Royal
Baking Powder has beeu declared to be
the superior of all others in strength,
purity and wholesomenessand absolutely
free from all inferior or detrimental sub
stances.
From recent official reports it is evi
dent that the alum and otherwise im
pure goods have again come upou the
market in dangerous quantities, and
their old enemy, the Royal, is again
upon the warpath. In continuing its
warfare against these goods the Royal is
meeting with the old time opposition
and abuse. The public, however, will
appreciate, as heretofore, both the ob
ject of the abuse and the action of the
Royal company, and award full justice
to the company that so fearlessly stands
up for its protection from such adven
turers.

l.he case the State of Montana
against Godfrey Demers was begun in
the district court Tuesday morning.

Count
y Attorney J ov , charges Demers
with murder for the killing of James
Dilworth on the Wth day "of July last,
wi be remembered that on that date
emers, accompanied by Lee Ferguson,
entered upon a piece of land upon which
he had tiro, ; . i ..........i

a portion of which was included within !

I ,llI 'puseof cutting hay: that
Du worth, upon he«ring of his appear
an ce there for that purpose, mounted
his horse and rodeover to where Demers
had camped, when the fatal shooting oc
curred.
When the case was called A. J. Camp
bell and John T. Smith appeared for de
fendant. and County Attorney A. R. Jov
announced that Judge X. W. McConnell
of Helena would assist in the prosecu
tion. Counsel for the defense objected
to the appearance of Judge McConnell
in the case on the ground that an at
torney employed by private parties is
barred from assisting the prosecution.
Ihe objection was overruled and excep
tion taken to the decision I, y attorneys
for the defense. The remainder of the
forenoon was consumed in securing a
jurj. Ihe regular panel was exhausted
and a special venire for fifteen talesmen
issued before the jury, composed of the
following, was secured: .J. H. Smith J.
Clark, J. Carroll, R. Livingston, W. E.
Thompson, J. F. Witt id,, C. C. Fi field,
H. W. Bingham. George W. Cook, W. S.
Dixon, E. Parker and P. Tierney.
I lie jury having been empanelled and
sworn the witnesses for the prosecution,
about twenty in number, were called to
l»e sworn. A number of these persons
were objected to bv the defense for the
reason that their names were not en
dorsed upon the information prior to the
commencement ol the case. This point
was stubbornly contended for by coun
sel for defendant and argued at length
by the attorneys on Ixith sides, but the
objection was finally overruled and ex
ception taken by defendant's counsel.
The attorneys for the state then made
an exhaustive statement of the case,
preparatory to introducing its witnesses.
This closed the first day's proceedings
and an adjournment was taken until
Wednesday morning.
When court convened Wednesday at
lb a. nt. the court room was filled, owing
to the unusual importance attached to
the case. Among the audience were a
number of ladies, who remained
throughout a greater portion of the day
interested spectators and close listeners
to the evidence introduced.
The first w itness for the prosecution
was Janies Warner. He was in the em
ploy of Dilworth and but a short dis
tance away at the time of the shooting.
His testimony was to the effect that he
was mowing when he saw Dilworth rid
ing towards Demers, and shortly after
wards, as he was turning the team at
the corner of the meadow, he heard two
shots; that when he turned he saw
smoke and saw Dilworth's horse plung
ing and running away; saw the horse
was without a rider and went over to
where he had last seen Dilworth and
found him lying upon his left side, face
downwards; that about this time George
Dilworth, son of the deceased, came up
and they turned the body over and saw
that Dilworth had been shot in the left
breast, just below the collar bone, the
bullet coming out at the top of the
shoulder. He was unconscious, and
George Dilworth and w itness went over
to the mowing machine, unhitched the
horses and attaching them to a lumber
wagon, put the body into it and took it
to the house. On cross-examination
witness testified to the finding of a re
volver several (lavs after the killing near
where Dilworth was picked up

Samuel Taggart was the next witness
called. He testified to having had a talk
with Demers before Dilworth was killed,
while traveling upon the train at the
time Demers came to this city to file
upon the land, in which Demers said:
"If Dilworth makes the same break on
me that he did on you I will kill him."
Afterwards had another conversation
with Demers when he made the same
remark again. Cross-examined, he
stated that the break Dilworth made
upon him was about land he had filed
on. Dilworth called him a son of a b
and a sneak; made no break on me, but
took a hatchet in his hand and said he
would brain Mr. Drinkhorn.
Frederick Hess testified that he
pointed out the corners of Demers'claim
at his request; Demers said that if it
was vacant land he would take it up if
it cost him his life. He also saw pistol
picked up after Dilworth was killed; it
w r as a Colt's revolver; all chambers were
loaded; Mr. Joy picked up the revolver
and handed it to Mr. Hunter.
S. C. Hunter was called and stated
that he was at the Dilworth ranch, with
others, about July 15th; there were four
persons present, Hess, Joy, Hunter and
one other; while looking over the ground
where Dilworth was killed a revolver
was found« all decided that w'itness
should keep it, which he had ever s:nce
done. The revolver was then produced
by witness, who stated that Joy told
those present when it was found to keep
the matter quiet until the trial.
Adaline L. Dilworth testified that de
ceased was her husband; that she was
at home when he was killed: knew Jack- j
son; he was present at our house when
my husband's body was brought home
the day he was killed. Witness recog
nized the revolver scabbard introduced
in evidence as the one worn by her hus
band the day he was killed.
George Dilworth, son of the deceased,
testified that he saw his father a short
distance from Demers; he was raking
hay at the time, and as he was turning
his team heard a shot bred. He turned
around and saw his father on a horse,
and the horse circling around and run

Bozeman were then ca g -
pert evidence, the object of which was
to show that from the nature of the a
wound and the course of the bullet it
must have been fired a considerable |
distance before striking Dilworth. Their j
evidence, which was substantially to the
same effect, was that the ball entered
Dilworth's neck just above the collar
bone and came out three*fourths of an
inch higher at the back of his neck.
They were therefore satisfied that the
parties to the tragedy must have been
some sixty feet apart when the shooting

side defendant Demers. The prosecu
tion declined to call Ferguson on the
ground of alleged unreliability The
court sustained the position taken by
the defense and Ferguson was called
and testified in substance as follows
Waa present when Dilworth was shot;
Dilworth rode towards Demers and wit
* ml was sitt ing erect on his horse;
" "' Ua ""
holding his horse's bridle in one hand
with his right hand behind his coat.
When he came to Demers lie said:
"What are you doing with that gun?"
If Demers had not stepped to one side
Dilworth's horse would have run against
him; he made five or six attempts to run
! a » ain . 8t Demers, who as often stepped
' " ne e 'de; Dilworth reached out his hand

Witness testified that this continued
about ten minutes before Demers shut
him. Dilworth was three or four feet
from Demers when he was shot.
Ferguson also testified that during
the time Dilworth was attempting to
ride over Demers he ( Dilworth) reached
for his revolver, which witness saw ex
tending about one inch below the end
of his scabbard.
In rebuttal of this evidence the scab
bard was placed in evidence and identi
fied as belonging to Dilworth, the end of
which was closed, clearly showing that
the evidence of witness relating to the
exposed portion of the revolver was in
correct.
This closed the evidence for the state
and an adjournment was taken until It)
o'clock Thursday morning when John
T. Smith, Esq., presented the case for
the defense, followed by introduction of
evidence for defendant. Godfrey De
mers, defendant in the case, took the
stand anil testified in his own behalf.
He stated that he filed upon a piece of
land which he hail had surveyed by Fred
erick Hess; that he went in company
with Lee Ferguson, upon the land on
the evening of July 9th, having pre
viously got Hess to notify Dilworth that
he had filed upon the land. After put
ting up h tent w itness and Ferguson re
tired for the night; w itness got up in the
tnorniug and after breakfast went over
to where a man was cutting hay; found
the man with the mower to be James
Warner and told him that he (witness)
had filed upon the land, but Warner
could keep on cutting until a line bad
been run. After running a line Demers
found that Warner was cutting on his
land and told him he did not want any
trouble, but lie had better not cut any
more upon the land. Warner asked De
mers vvhy he did not go and see Dil
worth, and witness replied that Dil
worth would probably be angry and he
(Warner) had better tell him; that if he
got mad and meant war he had better
come loaded. Warner took his team
and started for the house, but soon re
turned accompanied with Dilworth.
Warner resumed cutting hay and Dil
worth rode over to where witness and
Ferguson were making boundary lines
with willows. Dilworth's horse came
faster than a lope. Demers' testimony
was then to the effect that Dilworth. in
the face of a loaded Winchester rifle iu
his hands, five times attempted to jump
his (Dilworth's) horse ujK»n him, at the
same time reaching back as if to draw
his revolver, and that the fifth time, in
self defense, witness fired his ritle, and
that the fatal shot was given. He
further stated that the reason he did
not go to Dilworth after he fell was that
he did not know that he was dead; that
George Dilworth threatened to shoot
hint when he came up, and fearing there
might be further trouble he cautiously
drove to Red Lodge and gave himself
up. A very rigid cross-examination fail
ed to break Demers' testimony on any
material point.

The defense called several witnesses
to testify respecting Mr. Dilworth's
character, which was to the effect that
his general reputation was bad for get
ting angry and being dangerous with a
gun. Witnesses also testified to the
docile nature of Denters, as to his filing
on the land in dispute, and especially in
rebuttal of tlie state's testimony in refer
ence to threats made by defendant.
Evidence was also introduced to rebut
the testimony of George Dilworth, to
the effect that from the position occu
pied by George Dilworth as testified to
it would have been impossible for hint
to have seen the shooting, as the view
would have been obscured by interven
ing brush and timber. Another depart
ure from the routine of evidence was
the introduction of an affidavit of Daniel
Jackson. Prior to the commencement
of the trial defendant's attorney moved
for a continuance of the case, basing the
motion upon the absence of this witness
from the county, who at the time of the
killing was employed at the home of
Mr. Dilworth, and whose evidence was
material to the defense. This motion
was overruled upon agreement of
County Attorney Joy admitting that
witness, if present, would testify
to facts set out in affidavit for
continuance. The affidavit of Jackson
was to the effect that he was at Dil
worth's July 10th ; that Dilworth came
into the house and armed himself, stat
ing that "Frenchy" was upon his land
and that he would go over and get him
off quicker thrn h~ l would burn a
feather. The affidavit also stated that
Jackson had a conversation with County
Attorney Joy on the 25th of September,
in which Joy, after hearing what Jack
son would testify to, advised him in the
interest of the state's case, to get out of
the country. In rebuttal of this affida
vit A. R. Joy was sworn and testified
that Jackson was in his office on the
25th of September and informed him
that he had valuable testimony for the
state. He then asked Mr. Joy for a loan
of $2. Joy asked what his testimony
was and he said that he had found the
revolver that Mr. Dilworth carried nt
the time he was killed. Mr. Joy, know
ing this to be false, as at the time the
revolver was indirectly in the custody of
the state, unceremoniously dismissed
Jackson w ithont the 82, remarking that
the state did not need that kind of evi
den ce.
This closed the evidence for the de
fense and an adjournment was taken un
til 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when
the arguments of attorneys were begun.
Yesterday morning II. J. Miller, as as
sociate counsel for the state, opened the
argument, and in a brief but forcible
manner reviewed the evidence in the
case. He was followed by A. J. Camp
bell and John T. Smith for the defense,
which consumed the entire time until
the dinner hour, when an adjournment
was taken until 2 o'clock, when the case
was closed by County Attorney A. R.
Joy.
After receiving the instructions of the
court the jury retired at 4:30 o'clock in
charge of Bailiffs Mitchell and Sheffield,
and court adjourned.
The jury were out buta short time
when the announcement w as made that
a verdict had l»een reached, and at 6:30
court was again convened to permit the
| jurors to return into court. As it had
j not lieen expected that an agreement
would so soon be reached, but few were
present in the court room when the jury
filed into the.r seats and Foreman Bing
ham handed up the verdict, which was
examined by Judge Henry and passed to
Clerk Bailey who read as follow's: "We,
the jury And the defendant not guilty."
The formality of interrogating the jury
as to whether that was their verdict met
with an affirmative answer from each,
when they were discharged, court was
adjourned, and the trial which has en
grossed the attention of the public dur
the past week was finally ended.
