SLL A FALSE, er Who, Unlike BerUndoubtedly Come Grief. i 'Perjurer, Repeats His tIha Pleads Mind Dei3angement. is eaai Over to Awailt the Action of the Grand Jury and is Still in JaiL i-is very probable that Wm. H. Sheldon not realize that hewas paving his way for ar minthopenitentiary anywhere from one fourteen years when he made a voluntary davit to William Wallace, that he committed perjury last Saturday in the distriot court.

He realizes it now and is using every artful endeavor to escape the penalty of hit crime. it will be remembered, grew out of the, case which was on trial before Judge Hunt last Saturday and entitled A. A. LaRean vs. Frank tabi' and yesterday a preliminary trial on the charge of perjury was brought against Sheldon.

a witness for Laltean, and it resanited in Sheldon being bound over to the grand jury. LaRean won his case but the a-gidavit of Sheldon shows that it was his testimony, which he was paid for giving, that won the case for the plaintiff. a It appears that three years ago LalRean by Some sort of dealing got into partnership in business with Itabitelle, by assuming an inl ebtedness due LaRean from one Arpon, former partner, which the latter acknowledged his partner owed. In the course of events'LaReau and Shelden "doctoree' up the books of LaRean Rabitelle, and sued for an alleged indebtedness, so Sheldon affirms in his affidavit, and he iw re as being correct every entry he made; tabitelle stoutly denied that he ever had any money transaction with LaEean outside of the business of the firm. After the trial Sheldon went to a room occuried by himself and LaRlean and dressed up in some of LaReau's linen and a pair of trousers.

The latter came in the room, and seeing Sheldon attired in his apparel, forthwith accused him of stealing. He knocked Sheldon down with a blow, then placing his knee on him hammered right eye in a most brutal manner. Laeau then fled, and Sheldon, reeking with spain and anger, also ran out of the house, and swore revenge. He went to a saloon and found a note there from Bob Lalteau in which he said he would have him arrested for stealing. Sheldon then took a drink of whisky, and, evidently angered at the treatment he had received after the service he had rendered Lalieau, determined to at once go to the attorney for Rabitelle and make a clean breast of the asair.

At yesterday's trial Court Stenographer Smith read the notes of the testimony given at the trial. Carl Teichert, of the Atlas saloon, was an important witness. On Saturday last he was given a f0 check to keep It was drawn an favor of Sheldon and signed by Greenhood, Bohm Co. About an hour and a half later Sheldon called and got the money. Teichert's bartender, Ed.

Alorwick, testified that Sheldonshowed him the money; he remarked that it was not court money, but some he won on the outcome of a case he was a witness. Mr. E. J. Knight produced the check which was presented at the First National bank for payment.

District Attorney Nolan then introduced the affidavit of sheldon in evideace and Lawyer Shelton. who prosecuted the case for LaRean, objected. The seal of William Wallace who took the deposition, was not on the paper and he thought he should be present to swear whether that was his signature. Mr. Nolan said the state had used every effort to have Mr.

Wallace present and had the trial postponed one day and part of another to suit Mr. Wallace's convenience, and an officer had a subhpena for him for two hours. Mr. Wallace did not put in an appearance, however, much to Mr. Shelton's was loaded for "b'ar" and anxious to tell Wallace what he thought of him.

The distriot attorney, however, argued that the raplr was all right, and the court admitted is evidence. Mr. Nolan then proceeded the depositioi. In it Sheldon says that what he testified to in the district pgort was false in every respect; that La Bea got him in his employ and said "we have to fix the books and beat these eople," meaning Robitelle and Arpon. heldon said, "I said yes; we will." He furfuther said every entry in the books were ilse that they were all forged entries.

In Teiohert'a saloon before the trial he got to tainking that LaReau would make everythifig ot of the trial and he nothing; La told him there was $1110 in the case him -and that he would give Sheldon half if they won. The latter insisted on some of the money in advance. o'clock LaRlean said "Well. are you to the court "I told him," ton tiued Sheldon, "that I want $50 before I ake a move, and he said 'are you to treat me like that, I would not you the length of my arm," answered don. He further stated in the affidavit tt LaReau went away and got the $50 hok from Greenhood, LaReau's bondsaa and that he would not accept the ipek if they did not win the case.

They won it, however, and Sheldon got his the introduction of the affidavit the reted its case, and Sheldon took the nd to make a statement, the object of to show that his mind was unwhen he made the statements. said in 1876 he experienced an into his head in Iowa from sunstroke, that he has troubles in the head every and particularly when drinking "It goes to my head, and makes me In Helena I lost my wife, child home, and, driven to distraction, I suicide in John Pelky's isaloon, and William Lakteau, the po, took me to jail. I have no recolof trouble with Bob Lallear. Before SButte to come to the trial LaReau me Mot to drink anything, as he had ty for both of us. 1 was Lout at the both and cut my head head badly." then reeited his fistic encounter IeReau and what followed relative to revenge.

"I will now say under he continned. "that the statements in that affidavit are false. I knew I cop.mited perjury in making them, but tk are false. I suppose I will have to suffir lust as much anyhow, but I was not in my iight mind when I made the stateImnta." He denied that he told Barwick that the -oney he had was won from a bet on the l. He accounted for the receipt of the by saying that LaReau owed him Slfor labor in Rimini, and wanted to get know.the check on its face looks he said.

"and I did say 'if you los he case I will not He sail he was bartender at Butte; that he had no on of signing the affidavit; that he erazy. olan then closely cross-questioned the isoner, who made a struggle to conwine the court that he was not in his right land his admission of the truth of vit in some respects led Mr. Nolan that Sheldon was again lying, to shield La Reanu and he asked rson be bound over. Sbelton did not desire to say In the absence of Mr. Wallace, were would give his take the occasion to utpost contempt for what he amatmsptibleand unprofessional of Mr.

It was decided not to place a bridge over the north fork of the Sun river at the point asked for, because it is on the dividing line between Lewis and Olarke and Choteau counties. It had been proposed that each county join in bearing the expense of construction, Lewis and Clarke to pay $3,000, and Chotean $1,.00. £his the conmmissionersof the latter county refused to do. Nothing was done by the board relative to the building of a new county jail. It was determined that in consideration of the fact that the board had no plans before it which meet the exigencies of the case.

to lay tile matter over without further action until after the question can be submitted to the people at the next regular election in November. It was ordered that the clerk direct the sexton of the Helena cemetery not to peruit any more burials in that portion of the cemetery known as Potter's Field, or in any of the roadways of said cemetery, and that the county surveyor will instruct the sexton as to where the roads are. It was also ordered that the country surveyor be instructed to lay off, in conjunction with the superintendent of the poor farm, twenty-five acres in the northwest corner the poor farm grounds for cemeterypurposes, one one-fourth of which is to be laid ff as a potter's field, one-fourth in graves mnd the remaining one-half in lots 10x24 feet in size.
