Discipline in the French Army.

General Clinchant. the present military
governor of Paris, was terribly strict dur
ing the German war, but popular all the
same for he was known to he just, aud
kind too when be could afford to be 30.
Havingthe command OF raw levies, inclined
to be lnsubordinate, he resolved to show
them promptly that be was their master.
Once he issued stringent oder against
robbing fruit and vegetables from the fields
and gardens of the peasants in the Loire
Valley. A few Gays afterward a couple
of Zouaves stole out of camp by night and
gathered a basEetful of potatoes. These
two soldiers happened to be veterans who
had served in the Italian war, and they
we're brave fellows. much liked by their
colonel; but this only made their offense
worse In the generals eyes; for" said
he, IF old soldiers set the example OF
disobedience, how can we expect the young
ones to o5ey?" So the two Zouaves were
shot.
On an other occasion three young SOL
diers took it into their be ads to 60 out OF
camp without leave on Sunday, in order
TO dine with some friends who lived in the
neis hborhood. They returned In time for
tattoo, thinking, probably, they had COM
mitled only venial offence. They were
shot the next morning. One more exam
pie will show what stern justice has to be
meted out where tiogg;ng is not available.
General Clinchant had issued orders that
on the march no soldier was to climb into
the ambulance-vanso or store-wagoas unless
certified lame or i'll by the army surgeons.
The reason of this order was that number
of lazy soldiers used always 10 swarm on
to the wagons in order to get a lift instead
of marching. One day youDgster who
was in psrfe ct health clambered inside u
van, and was discovered there by a ser
geant, who ordered him to get out. The
soldier alighted, but, determined to have
Ms drive, he slit open his boot and inflicted
slight cut ON his foot to make believe
that he had gone lame. A corporal saw
HIM, and by-and-by the lad was reported
for the double offense of disobedience and
malngering. When he had BEEN court
mart aled ,he general gave him chance
of h.s nfe by calling upon him to confess
ihat the injury 10 his foot was self-intiicted;
but the foolish fellow, thinking to save
himself by lie, maintained stoutly that
he had gone lame by steppIng on flint
be was accordingly handed over to the
provost-marshal and shot.

GERMAN GULCH.
Placer Mining Operations 1865 The
Quartz Prospects.

Thus far this summer the placer mines of
German Gulch have been successfully work.
ed, but the head of water is getting low now.
Three companies o. white men have been
operating in the gulch, and six companies of
Cinnamon, scattered up and down the gulch,
have been steadily at work.
McCleery, Stone & Laorin have made a
partial cleanup, of the head boxes of their
tiune, taking out about $4,000. This CON-
pany will probably take out $4,000 for the
season, but as the head of water is weaken
ing, the amount of ground the company
will be able to wash off fer tile season will be
limited.
Smith g. Emerson, working a claim at the
upper end of the gulch have been doing WE'LL
this summer Their ground has averaged
$50 a day to three men working-or nearly
one ounce per day to the man employed.
Perry Beal & Co., for the amount of work
done, have made good money. Most of the
season they have worked to great disadvan-
tage, having to contend with the boulders and
,ailings coming down from the claim above.
Their ground is good, and when they are
able to work it to advantage will pay hand
somely.

The Accident at the MoulJon Mine.

r. b. Keane, the unfortunate miner
who was injured in the Moulton mine'
still lives, although he continues very
low. 1t appears, from careful inquiry
that the accident was beyond the reach
of ordinary foresight. The foreman of
the mine, Mr.. Charles O'Neil, is n of
the most competent miners in Montana
He carefully guarded against all proba-
BILE danger, and ten minutes before n
accident occurred he cautioned the MIN
ers engaged in timbering close to the
face of the drift where the peice OF gran
tie broke loose from to use all possible
care to make everything snug and Sc
cure. Keane, it is said, quit the mines
in the Black Hills becauseh he conslderso
working in them dangerous, and within
three weeks after commencing WORK III
the mines here he met with an accident
that is likely to prove fatal.

UNSUITABLE HOMICIDE.
Judge Wilcox Discharges Kennicott
from Custody.

The MINER has given the Butte public the
full text Of the testimony elected in the pre-
liminary examination of Prof. S. A. Kenni-
colt, who was charged with the shooting Of
Jesse B. Sanders, Familiarity known as
'Tex." From the testimony laidsbefore the
public, through our columns, the people will
be enabled to judge for themselves, and from
that testimony it is safe to assume that the
opinion Of the people, as we'll as the decision
of the examining magistrate, is that Mr..
Kennicott, under the circumstances, was fully
justified in taking the life of Sanders. The
taking Of the lite Of a human being, at any
time, is to be deplored, but there are times
and emergencies when the commission of .
homicide is absolutely unavoidable. Sanders
was the aggressor, and from the moment the
difficulty began on the sidewalk until he met
his death in the saloon he was the assailing
party. On the contrary, all the testimony
clearly showed that Mr.. Kennicott avoided
an encounter and retreated quite a distance
before firing the fatal shot, and that during
the time of his retreating he was closely
pursued by Sanders, who continued to make
threatening motions and demonstration up
to the time Kennlcott fired. The testimony,
in its main points, was one-sided and fav0ra-
BILE to kennicott, and even the testimony in
troduced by the prosecution was not of q
damaging character.
Yesterday Judge Wilcox, on the meeting
of the court, rendered his decision acquitting
Kennicott. In summing up the evidence the
Judge took occasion to carefully apply the
testimony to the law and the law authorities,
showing that when one man is threatened
and pursued by another, and is in actual and
imminent danger of his life, or of receiving
great bodily harm, even though the attacking
party be unarmed, that self-dsfense, extendl
ing to the killing of the a~ssailant is justifiabIe,
and hat Kennicott in defending and protect.
ing himself did only that which under a cor
rect Interpretation of the law was necessary
and justifiable. All the other other material
facts connected with the case we're duly
weighed, and it was the decision of the
court that Samuel A. Kennicott, the defend
ant, be honoraply discharged and restored to
freedom. s
On the rendition of the decision of the
court there was stamping of feet, clapping of
hands and other demonstrations of approval
py the crowd OF spectators in the court room.
IN his temporary confinement Mr.. Kennicott
was the recipient of many acts of kindness at
the hands of devoted friends, whose ~volunta-
ry work to aid in his complete exoneration
he will doubtless fully appreciate as he now
, stands before his fellow-men fully acquitted
, of any violation of the law. ...

ALMOST KILLED.
Accident at the Moulton Mine.

Yesterday morning, between 7 and 8 O'Clock,
a miner named f. b. keane, who recently
came to Butte from the Black Hills, met with
an accident at the Moulton mine which will
probably prove fatal. keane was employed
on the shift at work at the bottom of the
main shaft, preparing to put in a set of tim
bers, which would have held the loose rock
in position, when a large piece of granite,
that would weigh 800 pounds, suddenly gave
way and fell about ten feet, striking Keane
on the left hip and knocking him down. The
unfortunate miner was extricated by his
working companions as speedily as possible,
but was almost killed. He was conveyed to
the Workingmen's Hospital, where Drs.
Holmes & Hendrickson examined his wounds.
The ilium and pelvic bones were broken, the
lilac vein ruptured, and other injuries Of
minor importance. Last night Drs. Holmes
Il HENDERSON said there was no hope for
the mans recovery and that he would not
live twenty-four hours. He is a comparative
stranger mere, and has been in the employ of
the Moulton Company but a shot time.

LYNCHED.
Tom Stewart Swings for a Double
Murder.

Last week the MINER published all ac-
count of the murder of Mrs. Armstrong and
Mr.. Morgan, near Fort Shaw, and the burn
ingot the house they occupied. The double
murder was committed for the purpose of
robbery, and a man named Tom Stewart was
suspected. A special dispatch to the Helena
Herald, from Fort Shaw of the 4th, gives the
following particulars of the lynching:
atom Stewart, who murdered Mrs. Arm
strong and Mr.. Morgan, is no more. He was
found hanging to a tree with his neck broken.
The girls being separately taken into q party
of men of fifteen or more, recognized him at
once as the man who killed their mother.
He also had in his possession a pair Of
blankets which were recognized by MIR.
Morgan's hired man, who was i'll the noun
tains after wood at the time of the murder.
He also had one hundred dollars which the
son of Mrs. Armstrong says was all the
money there was in the house and recognized
among 1t two twenty dollar silver notes.
When the girls pointed to him and said that
is the man who killed my mother he could
not conceal his guilt, and said, Il have moth
ing more to say Mr.. Armstrong is at Fort
Mcleod and young Mr.. Armstrong was on
the roundup at the time of the murder. Mr..
Morgan was sleeping up stairs and was killed
first. After his guilt was positively estab-
lished, Mr.. Hamilton, with two other men,
started to Benton with the murderer and
were overtaken by fifteen men who took the
prisoner from them and executed the 'lynch
law sentence"

The Quarters of Two Companies
Burned.

The Helena "I~ndependent' of the sth
says About 7:30 o'clock last evening
the military telegraph operator at Fort
keogh notified the Helena Office that
what threatened to be an extensive con-
%fiagration had broken out at Fort Keogh
and was then raging with great fury.
Two company quarters had already been
destroyed, and the fire was still alto
gether beyond control. A high wind
was blowing, causing the flames to reach
out toward neighborjng buildings in a
way that occasioned grave fears for the
safety of the post. In fact, the operator
regarded the entire post as being serf-
ously endangered. No particulars of the
origin of the fire were given.
