QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
MILES CRY, NJ. T., Nov. 19.--Ulman,
the alleged murderer of Winters, was
this morning arrested by U. s. Marshal
John Man upon warrant issued out OF
the U. s. District Court by Commissioners
Cook, whereupon the district attorney
filed motion in Judge McBride's court
to dismiss the action brought there,
basing his motion on the ground that a
superior court had Ulman in custody.

ULMAN AND WINTERS.
Especial Correspondence Of The Tri6use.]
MILES CRY, Nov. 16.-Itis not often
the people of Miles City are called upon
to discuss sensations, in fact the average
citizen seems to have been surfeited with
domestic scandal, street fights, ETC., before
he came here, and is weary of the heredi-
tary squabbles which alone make life in
the States worth living. He gazes upon a
fond husband breaking chair over his
dear wife's head with the same apathy
that Gen. Grant holds out his hand to the
great unwashed. Nothing less than a
murder could have produced anything
like enviosity in the a. c. aforesaid, and
accordingly
MURDER WAS COMMITTED.
The philanthropist like all altruistic in.
dividuals, is modest and disclaims any
intention of raising the apathetical veil
wore by the passionless citizens of Miles
and asks that his benevolence be forgot
ten, or only remembered as an act Of self
defense.e The circumstances are these:
Two men, Ulman and Winters, by name,
were firemen and laborers in the large
saw mill of Messrs. Broadwater, Hu5bell
& Co. of this city. For some ten days
previous to the killing, the two men re-
ferred to, had had more or less trouble,
occasioned by the former obstructing the
passage out to the lumber yard with slabs
and bars of iron which he used in stirring
up the boiler fires. Winters was obliged
to pass the fireman in each of his trips to
the yard and the passage being so narrow
at this point the instructions caused him
oftentimes to stumble with his load, and
consequently loud words were not un-
frequent between them. Last Friday
morning, however, the men became so
angry that words were insufficient to ex-
press their intense hatred, and Ulman, it
is said, made an attempt to satisfy his
wounded feelings by peculiar demon
stration known in western parlance as
A GRAND BLUFF
which was speedily SCALED" by Winters.
Ulman then ran back to his station at the
boilers and rcappeared almost lmm ediate-
" with bar of iron which he designates
as a poker. Winters, seeing Ulman COM
ing towards him with SO formidable a
weapon, naturally prepared himself for an
encounter. Several of the mill-men were
witnesses to the fight and all but one pro-
nouncc Ulman the aggressor, but however
that may be, he struck Winters three times
with the poker, the second blow knock
ing his victim down. Winters staggered
to his feet, the blood rushing from two
ghastly wounds on his head, and but for
the interference of one McCarty (who
wrenched the iron from Ulman's hands,
and tossed it into the milD would have
| "got away" with his adversary even with
the disadvantage that
MAN WITH HIS SKULL BROKEN
must necessarily fight under. The men
were satisfied it seems, and Winters re
paired to. DR.. A. j. Hogg for medical treat
ment. The DR.. dressed his wounds care
fully and advised him 10 remain quiet fol
day or two. He then went back to the
mill and remained about there all day
experiencing but little pain and always
| rational in his conversation. The absence
of pain led him to believe that there was
| no imminent danger, and upon retiring
| expressed hope that he would be able
to 90 10 work in the morning. In thu
morning he was dead. The coroner:
jury found that he came to his death by
blows Inflicted on his head by Ulman
DR.. HOgg held a post mOrtem examina
ton and ascertained that an artery haC
been ruptured by the force Of one of th,
blows and the skull fractured on the in
ner side.> There was

on the brain as large as tea-cup, anl
how the brains could have accommodate
itself to such fatal visitor for twenty
four hours surpasses the wisdom of til,
physicians in attendance at the post NOR
