FRANK GRAY FOUND GUILTY The Tihe Defendant Tettified in His Own Tot Behalf But His Statement Did ye uot Avail. put lyI slot HIS SENTENCE FIXED AT 7 YEARS. pro to Din IJuidents of This Sensational Trial- list Arguments by Baum. be, and Taylor. to log cor The linds its Verdict Promptly he Every One Tired Out-The pet Suspense Over.

leo fan Frank Grlays own testimony was the leading relenut in the trial Friday. to He appear'tdl roil anl almost uncotn- wo cerned its he anOwered pome questions, w0 while in replying to others he showed of much He denied that he made be, thi, trliptpi th. Missouri river on the 't2d or ot Aug'lst. of which so much has been ds sial and repeated, the old story as to bis clh whereablouts on thlt lday. When he said alt in support of his alibi that hie was at no Reger's drug store in the evening, Mr.

on Bourn plunced, it might be said, on him a and displayed able cross-examinating ability. tie finally forced Gray into us saying that lack of money prevented him 8 from obtainining from Salt Lake, Reger's es testimony which would be so important. When questioned as to his doings In sa Detroit City, Brainerd and Fargo, n. his counsel objected, but he readily it answered and assumed a deliant air. He said that he was not ordered to leave Ft Detroit at an hour's notice and denied that he was ever chlarged with burglari- os asault, i Gray persisted in denying that he had fr been acquainted with Lottle Moore be- go fore he came here.

When asked why pi she brought him meals while in jail, phe said that the jail was so unclean and the food so bail that be neededother meals. Hie seemed to havre ai special animus Pi against Sheriff tlandiltono. When asked er why no letter had come from Reger he A said tlat ilaiuilito was capable of with holding it. In regardt ts the talk with Kline, of which there was mention yes- a0 terday, Gray was careful and said nothing definite. 5 Walter McGill, called for the defense, proved an obtuse witness.

His memory was more defective than on Gibbs' trial, and he spoke vaguely of the hour when he and Gray were together on August 22d. An observer remarked that McGill, i Grny and Gibbs had evidently bad a good if time at Luther's saloon, in the absence of lI the proprietor. The derleose having closed, more wit. nesses were call to strengthen the case for the prtosecution. Colgan, who it was understtood, knew much about Gray's doings elsewhere, proved an unsatisfactory oa witness for Mr.

Baum, who elicited little f( from him. Mr. liofman did not like the testimony either, for he moved that as it was a piece of petifogging, it should no tr loner "encumbner the records." Judge at Benton here tirmly censured counsel, of saying that all personalities must cease. liowly but surely Messrs. Baum and i' Martin wove the network of proof.

Judge at Race on being recalled testified that early last Angust-that is before the river trip si -Lottle Moore haid come to his office tol a complain that Gray had beaten her. She ti said that use lhad followed her for two or fC three years and that she could not get rid bh of him. Being asked as to Gray's repu- tation, the judge declared that it was had ti and that lie would inot believe him on oath. Ex-sherlff Downing and Sheriff i Hamilton also said that Gray's character cl wan bud. A lew witnesess as to charac- in ter spoke well of Gray and then the tests- msna closed.

He concluded by spaking in strong terms of the trutslful evideare given by Mr.

Loberg, and the other witnesses for the defense, Mr. lMcCor( sp.ke for the defense and made the Iest of a weak ease. lie refer- tt red to the instances of mistaken identity a0 swhisch are so common and argued that its Mr. Loberg and the others had not seen the geese-killer before the evening is of the shooting they might be mistaken. lie aplpealed rnl' gly toi the jury to di vent themselves of prejudice and give Gray the benefit of any reasonable doubt.

Mlr. ITavIlr also made a persuasive argu meat for the defense. Mr Baum summed up for the prosecution in an eloquent mauner referring in strong language to the wickltid career of Gray. udg, ieant-nu clharged the jury rather ft Iliefl limiting his instructions to the law of the casie.

GREAT FALLe, July a TIuBUNE: Rolfe came out in an article 'I yesterday headed "A Little Too Heavy," and showed himself not only lacking in public spirit but in this case to be entirely ignorant of the question under discussion. He states that he was shown a JSI proposition to change the grade of the TI sidewalks on Central avenue to conform to a street grade line recently established.

Since the grade of this avenue was established by Surveyor Kern, it has never been changed and there is no proposition to change it. He states that the buildings on Central avenue were located according to an established grade. This tl shows him to be an ignoramus of the drat water. It is no trouble for the pedestrian without the aid of transit or level to discover that each builder locited his building according to his own fancies. the To change the grade of the sidewalks la to make it confordt with the street grade on- would work no harm on anyone, and sus, would greatly improve the appearance ted of the street, besides mnking the walks 1 ade better.

It might in a few cases make bitd necessary a step, but, tlis is no serious eon damage. The floor of Harris', the vi blisclothier's store, is over eight inches it aid above the sidewalk and he says it would it at not be worth any more to him, if it were II Mr. on a level with the sidewalk. In such him a slanting entrance can be used such Is ting as Hotchkiss Hawkins now into use. The fact that this attack of him Rolfe's on the city improvements is prompted only by mercenary motives is er's easily seen when it it known that every It ant.

man who has been approached on a In subject of a change made in the side at rgo, walk grade has signified his willingness to have the change made and to pay for dily it, with four exceptions. Three of these, it He Dr. Crutcher, Lapeyre Brothers and Dr. a save Fairfield would not sign the petition sled asking for the change, but they stated that they would make no objections. The lart- only man, so fur as known, who is kick- ti ing and who wants to recover damages had from the city, is the public-spirited, be- generous H.

Several persons have not been seen, but of those who have given the nse, matter any thought, not one has refused or to sign the petltion only the four above rit, mentioned, and three of them do not obrhen object.

Case A aleena's Travels. do- The hundreds of thousands of fleeces tory of wool which are shipped annually little from Great Falls to the east go through as it a varied experience, and the story of their I no travels may be interesting. As the fleeces Idge are taken from the sheep they are cleaned neel, of all tags, each rolled separately and and placed in large sacks, each sack holding odge about 60 fleeces. The sacks vary in nrly vweight from 280 to 400 pounds.

These trip sacks are loaded onto wagons, usually to some freighter's outfit, and hauled to She town. The trip often requires three or or four days.
