Justice Hunt had made n full statement to him and advised with him and with Justlca Plggott ns to tho wisdom of proceeding against Dr. Traccy. They had advised against such a course. Chief Justice Hrantlcy related nn Inter view with Rov. Dr. A. B. Martin, principal of the College of Montana, a Presbyterian Institution of learning located at Deer Lodge. The chlof justice Is a member of the board of trustees of this Institution and Senator Clark is Its president. The witness Bald Dr. Martin had como to his ofllco and, requesting nn Interview, bad shown a letter signed by Senator Clark, ono sentence of which was ns follows "See Justice Brantley and ask him not to allow that good man Wellcomo to be dls barred."

Ho tells how oven nt Mafoklng before war camo to them peoplo wero ready to underestimate tho character of hostilities 'likely to cn'suo and pooh-hoohed tho neces sity of making any spoclal provision against Boer artlllory. But Baden-Powell was not tho man to bo swayed by such ootrlch-liue counsel. 'I havo tomo here to hold this town,' he said. "Straightway beforo any enemy appeared on tho horizon ho set about marking out the lino of his -exterior-defense -workb ami with that commonsenso which la the best test of tho truo soldier at onco directed the con struction of ample nholl-proof cover against tho guns, which at that time seemed bo chimerical to tho people of Mafoklng. 'Each ono of tho outer works,' ho writes, 'all around tho town wns at onco provided with underground Bhcll-proof accommodation for tho whole of Its garrison. Tbo town itself was .divided Into three, or four sections, each of which had Its own arrangements for de fense; within ench big mounds of earth havo bech thrown with good intorlor apartments, all constructed of tho handiest material, such as wall supports and cross beams of railway metal, with panellngs nnd roollngH ot corrugated Iron.' "Ho then tells of how ho converted tho ccjlnrs of soverol housca Into safe retreats of; u- similar kind, and by means of banking huge mounds of earth Immediately over head they rendered good service to tho gar rison and Inhabitants on tho day wOicn tho Bor' artillery began to rain Bhot and shell on tho devotod littlo town.
