Another View Of q Case.

In Saturday mornings MINER the
particulars, 10 far as then could be
learned, were given Of a case Of alleged
grand larceny, in which Evandcr Nc
Leod and NJ. Z. Dillon tvere parties con-
cerned. Yesterday morning the pre-
liminary hearing was had in the case Of
NJ. e. Dillon. 1t is with pleasure that
we state that Mr.. Dillon was discharged,
no probable cause appearing to warrant
the belief that he had committed the
crime charged. The evidence tended to
show that Dillon had become the owner
of the order in question at the time Of
the alleged offence, and that in using
the proceeds of that order he was simply
using his own property.
The hearing in the case Of Edward
Mathews, OF Glendale, charged with
having committed grand larceny in
making away with y livery horse be-
longing to J. b. Reynolds, Of Glen
dale. Mathews was represented by W.
.. Speer Esq, who made out an ingeni-
GUS case for his defense. The father OF
the accused, miner from VAUDEVILLE,
was present also. Mr.. John T.. Bald
win represented the Territory. 1t ap-
peared that Mr.. Reynolds had become
alarmed at Matthew'S absence. because
he understood that the blankets of the
accused had been shipped from Glendale
to Melrose, as If in pursuance Of an at
tempt to get away. The arrest followed
accordingly, a. SON - Mathews was
found in Butte. There was evidence in
the meantime that Mathews had been
offered fifty dollars for the horse and
had refused the offer, stating that If the
animal belonged to him he might sell
him. Altogether it was evident that
the young man had no criminal object
I'm view, but had been th0ughtlesf, to
put it mildly. He was discharged.

Strange II True.

Deputy sheriff johnson, Of Miles
City, is very fond Of clean pipe. He
smokes black clays, and takes fresh
bowl every day.
Two festive cowboys were amusing
themselves one morning last week in
Miles City by breaking the windows of
a house on one Of the lack streets, and
when Deputy Sheriff Jack attempted to
arrest them, he had to knock one man
down and draw his revolver on the 9TH
er. All the time the sheriff had his
pipe, u short clay, in his mouth. When
he drew his revolver, one cowboy who
was lightning on the draw got little
ahead Of him and fired first, knocking
the howl of the pipe into a thousand
fragments. The officers right hand
was busy in his pistol pocket, but it was
only moments task with the left to
reach in another pocket for fresh bowl
and fit 1t on the smoking stem. BY
this time he had the drop on the cow
boy, and shot Off the trigger Of his pis-
tol, ~ he was in the act Of firing again.
Nothing daunted the hoy pulled another
gun and again shot the bowl off the
sheriff7s pipe, this time taking of some
of the stem itself. The officer again
fired and broke the trigger Of the boys
second pistol. This was kept up until
the Sheriff's supply Of pipe bowls was
exhausted, when the cowboy was fore.

Shall We Celebrate!

Last year the lower towns adver-
tised weeks in advance their grand |
Fourth Of July celebrations, which |
amounted to nothing more than
grand Fizzles. Ketchum this year
should celebrate the fever glorious,
not with horse racing, dog fights,
street brawIs and half dozen FIRE
crackers; but, we suggest in a
genuine, old fashioned jolIifcation
and everybody's picnic. Within a
very short distance Of our city is
the beautiful Warm Springs creek
canyon and hot springs. There is
new in course of construction a
number Of buildings at the Warm
Springs that will accommodate the
multitude. A bath house twenty-four
feet long is now building, adicining
which sitting room, bar room.
restaurant and dancing pavilion will
De put up at once. The KEYSTONE
suggests that meeting Of our
citizens be called at an early date
and arrangements perfected fJr a
happy Fourth. Our townspesple
coald meet at the picnic grounds In
the morning, listen to the usual
exercises and grafton; fall to and

the park, pfroam the hilIsides; listen
to Il concert by the band and in the
afternoon have good old fashioned

Rescued from the Grave.

''It sounds like good deal to say,
but l once knew man who died and
was buried on the overland trail to
California, and afterward made his ap-
pearance in the placer mines at Prickly
Pear City-and it wasn't his ghost
either, but himself in the flesh" This
was the reply which well-known resi-.
dent of Helena, Montana, made to g.
reporter who was applying the renlinis-

citizen, "when the California gold ex-
citement was at its height, in company
with large party crossed the plains.
After getting well under way the cholera
broke out among us and several died
Among other deaths was that of man
named w. Fl. Clark, of Henry County
Missouri. We buried him near the point
where the old Santa Fe trail crossed
the Arkansas River. We had no coffin,
but wrapped him in his blankets, and,
inclosing him in covering or bark
stripped from the cottonwood trees, we
planted him about seven feet deep in
the sand, and piled logs on the grave to
keep the wolves from digging him up.
The next morning we moved on.
81 remained in California until '67,
and was then attracted to Montana by
the gold excitement. In 1868, while in
the diggings at what is known as Mon
tana City, I was startled at meeting
Clark, whom. with my own eyes, had
seen buried on the Arkansas River
nineteen years before. The recognition
was mutual, and on my expressing my
surprise he related to me that after our
own party had buried him and pro-
ceeded on toward California party of
Indians came along, and, seeing his
new-made grave, dug him up for the
sake of his blanket and clothing. As
he showed signs of life they applied
restoratives, and the result was that he
was brought back to life and health.
He lived among the Indians for years,
and afterward came to Montana. At
the time l met him he was working for
Jerry Embry. There is absolutely no
doubt as to Clark's identity, and he is
now living in Prescott, Arizona, be-
lieve. ."-Helena Independent.
