Deputy Sheriff Elias Lytle was wounded
| By pistol shot Ia the foot at Butte Satnr-
day night. It appears that Chas. II. Fias-
com, nov in Jail, was assaulting one OF the
Park street girls, when an attempt was
made to arrest him. He was turbuleur,
and while Lyle was taking him the police.
man assisting evidently had his hand on
seIf-cocking revolver in his pocket. 1t was
| accidentally discharged, the ball striking
| Lytle IN the ankle, running down under
| the skin into the fsshy part Of his foot
and lodging. IL was extracted. The
wound has been quite painful but not ne.
rious.
We publish T., this issue, from the Io'ea
Farmer, the proceedings Of the American
Clydesdale Breeders Meeting. Governor
Potts, who has introduced the stock In
Montana by bringing imported Emperor aud

| peror has attracted very favorable attention
from horse breeders in Montana, and 1t Is
| anticipated attention will be directed to
draught horses from that strain, conceded
| to be the best draught horse for general
purposes IN the world. They are native to
the mountains and northern climate and
| especially adapted to Montana.
No copy of the Butte Inder was received
| at this Office this week and We have been
| unable to find one, but from the Miners
| remarks we infer the Inder has been ma
king rough attack on W. Fgbsrt Smith,
Postmaster at Butte. Mr.. Smith is TOD
we'll known and too highly esteemed In
| Deer Lodge county for any detraction or
abuse to ipjurs him IN thu estimation Of
our people, and we venture the prediction
the Inder will never see the day when he
will be less respected. The Miner says
| Postmaster Smith declined 10 furnish the
Indez free box or to give ths editor free
access inside the office. We have had just
the same grievance against Postmaster
Stackpole ever since be held the Office, and
We presume every publisher In Montana is
treated the same way. They Should be.
| Mr.. Smith is too honorable and CON 3cien-
tious gentleman to have newspaper abuse
thrown at him, and we trust, for decency's
sake, the Indsz will respect him accord
ingly.
The disclosure of Campbell, an accom-
plice after the fact, according to his state
ment, in the Farrell murder at Fort Ben
ton, is, we believe in the main correct. 1t
seems Koble had worked up q scheme for
| considerable number of Co. A, Sd Infant
| ry, to desert Immediately after pay day ,
that they were to steal government horses ;
that Farrell, as the body servant Of Capt.
Moale, was suspected Of conveying infor-
nation to the Captain that Henry Dam
vile was arrested for stealing government
horses preparatory to the dssertion, and it
10 inferred they were for the use OF the de-
serters. II is the logical conclusion that
| Koble and his companions Suspected Far
rell of having discovered the contemplated
horse stealing and desertion and compuni-
Gated the facts to Capt. M-ais, and that
Koble killed Farrell in revenge. The COM
plcity of rhe colored people and the dispo-
sition of the body is mads public for the
first time. Having expressly stated to
Campbell that we did not ask him to state
anything that would implicate himself we
believe he availed himself of the sugges-
ton, and that either be or Jones fred the
fatal shot through Farrell after he was left
on the prairie.
