SIXTY-FOUR YEARS A LAWYER.
Former Governor Tcslle of Montana,
Before the Supreme Court.
In the 85th year of his uge and th'e
C4th year of his practlco of the law,
and with all the fire and vigor of u,
man of half his years, former Gover
nor Preston II. Leslie of this city, was,
before the supreme court yesterday uh
counsel In the case of Sheldon agulnst
Powell, from Cascade county, says tho
Helena Independent.
At the beginning of his argument
Governor Leslie said to the court; "If
I may be permitted to say at this
time, I feel especially gratified und
honored hi being permitted to stand
before the supreme court of this my
adopted state upon the 04th year nf.
ter my being admitted to the bar,"
He the) proceeded to argue his sde
of the case to the court.
Governor Leslie was once governor
of Kentucky and came to Montana In
1887 as governor of the territory.
Afterward he was appointed United
States attorney for the state. He is
jiow president of the Montana State
Bar Association, nnd Is one of the
most popular member, of the honor
ed profession.
Earl Atwater, a farm laborer, was
seized by two unknown men at Gar
den and Webb streets last night and
nfter beliid badly choked, was robbed
of $C. The footpads escaped In tho
darkness. The crime was committed
shortly after ! o'clock, within a short
distance of the Salvation Arm bar
racks.
Atwater says he met a stranger at
linker .t Garrison's saloon In Main
street last night. The stranger sug
gested that they go to the Salvation
rmy. The services were Just over
as the two npproached the barracks,
so they continued on down Webb to
Garden,
"As we turned up Garden street,"
said Atwater, "another man sprang
from the darkness ami threw his arm
uhout my neck, forcing me ngalnst the
fence. My companion run uway.
During my struggles another person
cnpie up nnd went through my pock
ets. Inking my money, about $0. I
believe he Is the same man whom I
met at the saloon."
James-' Carter,- u resident of this
city, was passing a moment after tho
robbery and heard Atwater groan. Hu
hurried up mid found the victim of
tlie footpads clutching the fencing
nml looking for his lint. "I saw two
men running nwny," said Carter,

will got but little of tho 1904 wheat
crop In the Northwest.
In discussing the wheat situation
one of the leading railroad men of
this city said:

of large size, culling for from 20,000
to 30,000 bushels each. This heavy

the entire crop Is used up, hut ns to
