Hatcher, whose trial had been set for the following day, came iuto the United States court, accompanied by counsel and friends, and formally pleaded guilty to one of the 46 counts rininditments and was* sentenced-to: five years in the penitentiary; The sudden termination Of what promised to be a famous Montana trial was a surprise to.many.- ’ It seems that this coarse was decid ed upon' Saturday night after the attorneys and counsel had given the case careful consideration. - There was hardly any one in the court room except the usual officials when the defendant and counsel entered for the purpose of pleading to the charge. William Wall Jr. acted as spokes man for the. defendant aud his at torneys. He said that defendant desired to withdraw his plea of not guilty as to count No. 1 o f the indietmeut, which iuvolved the $90,000 bank stock transaction, and plead guilty thereto. As to the remaining 45 counts, de fendant would plead as before, uot guilty. At the conclusion of Wallaeee’s talk the court asked Hatcher if he had anything to say different from what his counsel had said as to his plea. He said he did not aud ac cordingly pleaded guilty. District attorney Leslie moved that the other forty-five counts be dismissed and this was done. Then Judge Knowles formally sentenced the accused to five years, and to pay the cost of the proseeutiou, amounting to $2,(XX). While pronouncing the sentence the court said that Hatcher had violated the banking laws of the couutry, which were good laws; that if they were better obeyed there would be fewer bank failures. To this failure to obey the banking laws many of tho bank failures may be attributed. He commented upon the daugeis of taking funds from a bauk for the purchase of bauk stock, as in the present case, “ taking tbe very life blood” as the court puts it. The court recognized what the counsel had said in behalf of the accused youth aud his previous good reputa tion, and lie would accordingly sentence him to tho minimum pnu- ishment, five years. This ended the case and Hatcher left the court room, going to tho East sido residence GEORGE IS'ODEAD.. This 31 an of AlijirhtyABrain^And Un daunted Courage is No More. / In the midst of the strife and bitter- i , ness of a political campaign, the spec ter of death come and touched with its ruthless’handthe leader-of the hosts. On the very eve o f a'climax of human passion and ambitipns, party prejudi ces, the grim reaper prepared an anti climax so much greater than the one that was to come, that men of all parties forgot their anger in grief at the blow which fell .with such sud- denness. Last Friday night, noisy shouting throngs crushed.-into halls and streets to hear the speeches, that in a great part, Ivwere ^filled with personality and bitterness; rockets flared and fires burnedymèn rargued and all signs bore witness that the campaign was at its height. But when day dawned, all was changed. Men were loath to beleive that one who had been so much in public eye in the past few weeks was no more and for the time being the complex ion of the political situation was for gotten in genuine grief. Those who the night before bitterly denounced tbs man, who said.; “ I stand! for the real democracy^ the democracy of Thomas Jefferson;” the next day re called many touching, kindly acts in the life of the dead man, which showed his nature, and Joinedin^the words'which' came^ natii rally ' to: the lips of all, “ an honest man is dead.” • -Henry, George, author o f “ Progress and Poverty,” and candidate' of. the Thomas ‘ Jefferson democracy for mayor of New York,\died at 4:10 o’clock Friday morning, in tbe Union Square hotel, of cerebral apoplexy. In his great trooper Union speech ac cepting his nomination', for mayor, less than*a-month ago, Be said: “I’ll make this race if it costs me my life. This is a call to duty, and, as a good citizen, I have no right^to disregard it on account of mere personal con sideration.” . ;> The end was poaceful apd .he died without pain. This man of mighty brain aud undaunted Courage was physically frail, and thè strain of an exciting campaign,'requiring' speech making at many points, made \night after night, was more than his nature could stand. He kept it up to the end, and only a few hours before the death messenger cried halt Henry George had addressed enthusiastic audiences in three of the towns of the borough of Queens and-a still larger assemblage in an up town ball there. He spoke at Whitestone at 8 o’clock and made a speech at College Point and Flushing before returning to New York to speak at the Central opera bouse. In one of his last speeches Mr. .George said: “ I have labored for years to make myself known and now at last these things are all written down. I believe that needed reforms are summed up in philosophy: The right of every mail to eat, to driuk, to speek as he sees fit, so long as 1m does not trench the rights of others.” “ Pa,” said little Johnny Cutely, “1 neard you talking with Mr. Brown just now, and you said you didn’t believe in future punishment.” “Well Johnny,” replied the old man, “ the subject is a strange one for you to talk about; but, really I don’t.” • « “ Then I suppose—-I suppose that let’s me out o’ that liekin you promis ed mo after stippor.” TETON E X C H A N G E !
