Now, perhaps it makes little difference so
far as the morality of the case is concerned,
whether One-sixteenth of one per cent. or
sixteen per cent. is embezzled. But when
you come to discuss the question as to who
embezzles it, it does make great deal of
difference.

Escaped COnvicts killed.
Terrible Fight .E

1U11AWAG 6zASS .
The Virginia (Nev.) Ents,prise, of Decem-
Der 10th, has the following correspondence,
dated Bishop creek, December 18th, giving
an account of the most desperate fight which
has ever occurred on the Pacific coast =.
There has been another terrible fight with
one OF the escaped State prison convicts, the
particulars of which are as follows: Francis
A. Armistead, the man who was one of the
foremost in the taking of Roberts, Morton
and Black, found the track of Charley Jones
about fifty miles from the head Of Long Val
ley, on the head of the San Joaquin river,
and trailed him to my sheep camp, where he
was stopping. Armistead had some talk with
Jones, telling him he wanted o man to drive
horses to Arizona. Jones hired to him for
the trip. and thus matters rested until morn
ing. In the morning Armistead told me what
was up. and said that he expected HI be-
fore he got through. While we were talking
Jones went to the house and got my Henry
rifle, and when he came out said: "Here,
you id son of b-h, ! know your bust
Hell, will die first" When he had thus
declared himself, ne at once drew up and
fired at Armistead. Armistead instantly re-
turned the fire, his shot taking effect in Jones
right breast The fight now began in dead
earnest, and both men being armed with
Henry rifles, it was fearful. There was al
most constant stream of fire, and it seemed
that nearly every shot took effect. The men
were about thirty steps apart. Jones kept
giving way, and Armisteao kept following
him up until he fell from loss of blood. When
Armistead fell, Jones rushed upon him, but
Armistead raised his gun again and fired,
shooting Jones through the head and killing
him instantly. ..,- .s...
Thus ended the most desperate fight ever
witnessed in the country. Armistead fired
fifteen shots, hitting his mark twelve tunes;
while jones, the convict. fired eleven shots,
nine of which took effect upon the body of
Armistead, and either of the wounds inflicted
would have probably proved fatal Armstead
lived about two hours after the fight. He
was the coolest man l ever saw He said
that if he had killed Jones he was willing to
die He requested me to write of the affair,
and his last words were: "Tell her love
- When he first fell he spoke of s'Aunt
Sallie" and Charley" Through the request
of a dying man, ask you to publish this.
Yours truly, GEO. SLAWSON.

MENTFROM THE PEOPLE.
To the Editor of the Herald.


To the Editor of the Herald.
Your very able and timely article in the
HERALD of Tuesday, criticising in an effective
manner some of the official acts of Gov.
Potts, meets with universal approval among
Republicans. 1t has added good deal to the
previous high estimation placed on the paper
In this and other communities of Montana.
There is precious little sympathy existing
between the citizens of Montana and the
Governor. He keeps himself aloof from the
masses, and is bound up in his egotism. He
may be great man-and think he is physi-
cally-but he has the poorest way of showing
his greatness that I have ever seen. He
lacks discretion and foresight. and has no
business to set himself up as Republican
leader. Only one man have talked with
thought your remarks were too severe. You
were gentlemanly and correct and the party
will sustain you IN the assertion that Gov.
Potts is not g dictator to direct Republicans
what they must do and what they must not
do. He would do well to attend to his own
business, quit meddling with the Judiciary,
and attempting to govern the course of under
officials of the Territory. Heis q newcomer
and interloper here, and as long as we have got
Republican Delegate, let MIR. Potts confine
himself to the Governors seat. trust you
viii go forward with your fight, for IL Is just
and the Republicans of Montana win back
you now as they have backed you before.
God speed you. REPUBLICAN,.
