i » V YOL, 11. OHOTEAÜ, TETON COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, FEB. 8, 1901. NO. 41. THE HORSE THIEVES. TO a r e a Are H é l d For Trial And More lo Follow. • 'County Attorney ¿hatgrove returned (from Shelby on Monday where he had 'been prosecuting the -dharge against oer- 'tain members o f a gang of horse thieyeai operating in that section and reeent^y! oanght in the act. The week before», Mr. Sul grave *ud Sheriff Taylor went out there to investi gate. At that time Jehn F. Hughe«, and James E. Stcp’bsnson were iu eaetody but John Su-llrvan was on his way to Chicago with 'the five cars o! bosses for the stealing -<Jf which they along with others are being held to be responsible. It was intended to hold a preliminary hearing then but Justice Dawes, being disqualified, • and Sullivan, though held by the authorities in St. Parri, was yet absent, at was finally agreed that the hearing ehould be postponed ¡amtil Feb. 2, and that Justice Magee of Dupuyer Township'shonld preside at ithe examina tion. Hughes gave bail and was released but Stephenson was held in default of $2,508 ibail. In the meantime Sheriff Taylor returned from St. Paul with Sul livan .and the examination ¡was held last Saturday. The ireault was that Hughes and Sulli van were both held to appear. before the distrdet court in the sum «£¡$3,000 eaoh. Hughes, who was a deputy sheriff under Hagen,.gave bail with Peter Hughes and H. F..iGtutk as sureties, but. Johnny Sul livan,, .ft son of Dan Sullivan, was not so fortunate. Stephenson waived examina tion.and was held in the *um of 12,500. Failing 1 1® secure bondsmen, Sullivan and -Stephenson were brought in to Oho- teau. <on Monday by Deputy Sheriff Moberly and Special Deputy Nicholson and iih# two suspects are now in the comaty ibastile awaiting trial. At'Shelby,- Sheriff Tfiyl<5-.received word of the-capturo of another of the gang, about-SO miles this aide <af St. Paul, and he at .once started back after his man. George,Jaeobsou is suppled to be the name.ef-ihis man, though he was known here in Choteau under the name of ^ ‘Templeton” and at Dupuyar„ as “ Andor- boh .” The sheriff is expected back m a few dayc .when there will .bo another hearing at Shelby. At the.axaminatiou Hugbea .and Sulli van woro,represented by Attorney J. W. Freeman, e? Great Falls, and .the State by James .Sulgrove. Stephenson is said to be a lawyer and he line been a Police Magistrate iu St. Paul, ¿ho also served two terms in the Minnesota legislature, but be claimed ¡to be only a St. Paul horee.buyer. More arrests, it is said will shortly follow' and that .some startling surprises are in store forborne well known poqple, but just who.they are and liow they .are connected with the wholesale stealing is more than we.can say at present, the-secret of it ail being locked up in the breasts of two or three officers of tko stock .association —to hear] them tell it. And perhaps that’s right \ A list of this Last batch of stolen horses was brought in by County Attorney Sul .grove which includes 125 horses and ¿nares and 11 colls and-js as follows: Pat Crosaen JSullivun left shcmiâer. d 1 sho + right thigh.

Hopkintion Smith’s recent assertion that “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was an untruthful picture of slavery days in the south, or that the book has done and is BtiU doing harm to the southern people. When seen at the Waldorf- Astoria yesterday Colonel Watterson said: “Mr. Smith Says that ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ did a great deal to precipitate the war. ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ did undoubt edly make a great impression upon the ■susceptibilities of the people of the United ■States—aud nowhere more than in the southern states-who instantly recognized its fidelity to truth. But to say that it •cut ary figure iu the final crisis is wholly a misconception. Nothing could have delayed the ultimate trial of arms mere than four years. If Douglas had been elected president iu 18G0 the war between the seotions would have been postponed from 1861 to 1865. Mrs. StoweVnovel waa merely a spoke in an inexorable wheel, which for the time being repre sented perpetual motion. But so far from being a cruel attack upon the peo ple of the south, it was a most kindly representation. Mrs, Stowe begins with the sunny side of slavery in Kentncyy and indicates it« possibilities by traversing the career of Uncle Tom to a Louisiana plantation. But you will observe that the villain of the book, Legree, is a Yankee, and that leads me to any—what, indeed, Abraham Lincoln preceded tie in •uying—that. 'the: .Yankeos - brought the nigger to America in their ships and sold him to the southerners. £ think it ex tremely unkind that, having got their money, they came down south in 1861 and annihilated the property of their own creation. But that is neither hero mor there. All the gentlemen of the south in the days of Washington and .Jefferson were opposed to sis very. It was a wholly monstrous and indefensible institution. Even im 1861 the good men and wonjen of the south wore at heart opposed to the whole system. With a gray jacket on ESS ESS W e propose to make this announcement of unusu al interest to all buyers.

Afc Dalton, Ga., in the winter of 1863-64, Gsxa Hindman submitted to Gen. JoaephE- Johnston, the commanding general o£ the confederate army, a scheme to eman cipate the entire black population of the sontb and to conscript them upon the> basis of their ‘ white fellow citizens.’ Gsn. Hindman took the expression ‘white fol low citizens’ from u proclamation isausdL by Gen. Andrew Jackson when in com mand before New Orleans in 1814-15, Gen. Johnston entiroly approved this plan, but, the only goneral iu the council of war who supported him being Gen. Hardee, it was abandoned.” “I know it to be a fact,” continued CoL Watterson, that England aud France- would have intervened in our war on th& South side if slavery could have been put in shape of gradual emancipation. Nobody, not even Mr. Davis, could give any assurance on this point to the French and British governments. God be praised because to that ciroumstanco we owe our solidarity as a nation today. Bui to come baok to ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ It is one of the groat books of the world. I am willing to bet the author of ‘Col. Carter of Carteraville’ a cigar -that he never read ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ and leave the decision of the bet to him. It is this dreadful sensitivity of provincialism, this astounding ignorance of the world at large that has kept the south in -leading strings for a hundrod years. The lead ers of the south, not to mention a certain George Washington, but particularly to mention one Thomas Jefferson, knew slavery to be abhorrent to manhood, womanhood and all the graces of human life. The south ip well rid of it. Mr. Smith is wholly laistaken in supposing that the negro is worse off in freedom than in slavery. Booker Washington, u great and noble man, one of the greatest men living today in America, considering practical affairs as the test of greatness, is doing an amazing work, and if the true and good men of iho north having money to spend ou philanthropy would con tribute a little attention and some money to the development of his scheme at Tuskegee, Ala., it would pay richly on. the investment. “In short aud m fine, while I am not surprised at Mr. Ilopkinsou Smith’s ver dict about a book of which he cannot ■ know a great deal—even if ho has road if, he falls into tho prevailing t-nor of tiio educated southerner, iu supposing that attneks upon the institution of African slavery are attacks upon the people of lh&- south.

Carter of Cartersville’ shocked my sensibilities as a southern man and par ticularly as a Virginia product, very much more than did Mrs. Stowe's ‘Undo Tom’s Cabin,’ literary criticism avaunt.
