FIRE AT VAUDEVILLE.
Ellis & Lees Saloon and Restau-
rant Again Burned.

About two o'clock yesterday morn
ing a fire broke out in the saloon and
restaurant Of Ellis & Lee at Walker
vile and although the Alice fire bril-
gade were quickly on the ground the
light frame structure burned with
such rapidity that little could be done
to save the stock and fixtures. A
strong east wind was blowing and
surrounding property was greatly en-
dangered, but by the excellent
management of the firemen
the flames were confined
to the building in which
it originated, which was totally de-
stroyed with its contents. The
burned building belonged to Joseph
Boulder, whose loss is about $1,000,
with an insurance of $1,000. ELLIS &
Lee report iheir loss ON stock and
fixtures at So $500. upon which they
carried s., 600 insurance. The build
ing was a new one, having been re-
built last spring after being burned
to tue ground by the cont1agration
which destroyed the entire adjoining
row of business houses.

MURDER OF AN OLD TIMER.
Jimmy Grant Killed at Depuyer
While Protecting the
Homer of His
Home,

Old residents of Deer Lodge valley
will recollect the Grant bows, sons of
Capt. Grant, the Hudson Bay trader.
Johnny Grant was for a long time a
reside MT of Deer Lodge and was quite
wealthy. Jimmy" had a ranch
about four miles northeast of Deer
Lodge and was highly regarded as an
honest and industrious man and a
good citizen. More recently he has
been employed by Major w. G.. Nc
Cormick in charge of his extensive
cattle ranch in the vicinity of De-
puyer, Chot' au county. A cores
pendent of the Helena Independent
conveys the information, that on the
7th inst. James G.. Grant was killed
by the Indian paramOur of his wife.
The correspondent states that on that
day, upon his return from the hay
field where he had been at work,
Grant received damning evidence of
his half-breed wife's perfidy and the
treacheryof her aboriginal paramount,
who had been employed on the
ranch. He Immediately armed him
self with a Winchester rifle and a
six-sheoter and mounting a horse
went in search of the destroyer of his
peace. Coming upon him, and when
within eight feet, he opened fire, the
bullet taking effect in the feSby part
OF the mans breast, and striking a
rib glanced off. The Indian returned
the fire, hitting Grant on the wrist
and shoulder. Each fired twice, and
the Indians second shot penetrated
Grants heart.
A: party of citizens instituted a
search for the murderer, but returned
without finding him. The CORES
pondent significantly adds, however,
that "by a squaw just from Birch
Creek the report comes that the In
dian residents in that valley have all
left for the agency for protection; also
that the murderer was found COM
pletely riddled with bullets"

Helena Classical School.

We are in receipt of the prospectus
of the Helena classical school which
will commence its first term on the
10Th prox. The board of trustees in
clude some of the most prominent
citizens of Montana and the faculty
is composed of educators Of superior
scholarship and special qualifications
for their duties, with Prof. w. H.
Garrison, of Harvard college, as
principal. While the course
of study is arranged with special ref
erence to preparing the pupil for the
best eastern colleges, such as Yale,
Princeton, Harvard. ETC.. the En-
glish or literary course will receive
due attention and a primary DEPART
ment will be maintained for less ad-
vanced scholars. The Inauguration
of schools in Montana where our
youths may receive the benefits Of an
academic course, is a step in the right
direction, and parents ire to be con-
graduated. that the necessity no long
er exists of sending their children to
distant institutions o~flearning, at an
g when they most need parental
care and guardianship.

by a Lion

Post: Dick Argus, a sheep-herder
on a range north of Billings, had a
narrow escape in this wise: On Mon
day night last, about dark, while TAX
ing a walk around his flock to see
that none were straying from the
fo.d, he was attacked by a mountain
lion, which had probably been lying
there, waiting for an opportunity to
get his "work in.' The young mans
cries for help brought his companion
to his aid with a gun, when the lion
precipitately beat a retreat and made
his escape in the darkness. Dick es-
capped with the loss of his shirt and a
few slight flesh wounds. We have
but little sympathy, however, for a
lion that would attempt to eat a
sheep-herder when there was plenty
of good fat mutton in sight. He de-
serves to 60 to bed supperless.

A Novel Race and It's Results

George Bowen the carrier boy who
serves the patrons of the MINER on
the Meaderville and depot routes, is
something ola pedestrian, and yes
terday at the ace track he undertook
to beat q horse around the course,
running backward himself, while the
horse pursued the natural method OF
loconuotion. The horse crowding
him closely the boy undertook to
jockey the race by getting in, front OF
him, so as to prevent his passing, but
his equine opponent wouldn't have it
that way and seemed disposed to run
Unknown or run over him stepping on
his foot and bruising it so badly that
he will be laid up for some days
Bowen was carried from the track
and the race declared in favor OF the
horse.

Continuation OF Campbell's Tes-
t1mony-Mc Clellan,s
Testimony.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-On the 10th
of July demands were presented to
the Western Union, the American
Rapid, the Baltimore and Ohio, the
Commercial and numerous telephone
companies, and the only answer as
vet is from the American Rapid,
which has partially acceded to the de-
mands Of the Brotherhood. The IN
sWer of the Western Union company
to the appeal of the operators was
that it was not known whether the
committee had authority to speak for
the employees of the company.
Campbell said 80 per cent. OF the en-
ployees were members of the Broth
erhood. The operators had formally
presented their grievances to the To-
cal managers for an increase OF
wages, but these had been disregard
ed generally. 1t is believed the West
ern Union company had a well estab-
lished system of black-listing men
who made applications for an in
crease of wages, and took the first
opportunity to discharge them upon
some pretext or another, for orders
were shown by all local managers
and skill was at a discount. The
system of intimidation was prac-
ticed bv IN official Of the company.
Since 1870. several movements have
been made orgaiZe the operators, but
all failed on account of their system
of intimidation.
John Mcclellan, an officer of the
Brotherhood and a operator of IA
years standing, said the direct cause
of the strike was an insult offered by
the Western Union company to the
committee of the Brotherhood in re-
fusing to recognize or treat with
them. Until then it had not been ex-
pected that a strike would occur, but
it was thought the company was
willing to listen to the demands
of the men and come to some
adjustment if possible. The
grievances were real ones
and if there had been a spirit af con-
cession manifested by the company,
the oper atOrs would have met them
in this spirit. 1t was shown that Gen.
Eckert and other officers of the COM
pany had known of the plans OF the
brotherhood before the strike began.
The company knew that grievances
existed and that demands were to be
presented, and had been preparing to
resist these demands ever since March
last. Ii the present strike was a fail
ure it would only strengthen the *
listing organization instead of break
ing it down.
When asked whether he could sug-
gest any method by which a more
equitable division could be made OF
| the products of capital and labor be-
tween employers and employed, Nc
Clellen said that this would be i'm.
possible.
The inquiry will be continued to.
morrow night.
Manager Link of the Western
Union says that twelve operators re-
turned to work to-day. The wires he
says have all been repaired and every
thing is in good working order.

Love Laughs at Locksmiths.

The Riuer Press chronicles the
marriage of Mike Foley, AN old timer,
and a prosperous merchant of Bar
ker, to Miss Minnie Cartwright, a
charming miss of ''sweet sixteen"
with romantic accomplishments
which has created considerable ex-
element in that thriving camp:
"On Monday last Mrs. Hughes, the
young lady's mother, called at Mr..
Foley's store to make some purcha-
ses. The latter called her aside and
asked consent to marry her daughter.
Mrs. H. positively refused ON account
of the disparity of their ages--Mr.
H. being over forty and Miss Minnie
"iust rising" sixteen. The interview
ended pleasantly, and that night, by
preconcerted arrangements. Miss
Minnie left her room, joined her low
er. and at five minutes past mid
night were united in the blissful
bonds by Judge Insolvency., in the
presence of three or four friends OF
the high contracting parties.

Lower California Placers.

Recent San Francisco papers con-
tain following dispatch from Guaymas
which strongly smacks of the old pa
Ger days of California and Feather
River:
Byarrival to-day from Trinidad of
the sloops Emelia and Sara Yosa the
following startling news from the
placers is brought: Provisions have
nearly given out: flour is scarce at 81
a pound; of beef none is to be bad,
neither coffee nor sugar. Jose NJ.
Garcia came over on the Emelia and
will leave on her return with a stock
of provisions. The two vessels brought
over some 80 pounds of gold in the
hands of different passengers. Two
of these pieces are remarkable for
size and richness, the largest weigh
ing, rock and all, 81 pounds, and the
other, solid gold, 4! pounds. Up to
the time of rainfall dry washers
making $40 to $50 per day. A Mexi-
can gentleman who went over there
i'm June died of thirst at the placers.
His name was Juan D. Diaz. Quay

A Homocide at PhilipsburR, the
Details of Which Have
been Kept Very Dark.
John Van Anda Killed by Will
liam Queener.
Special Correspondent ice Of the MINER.

Special Corresponds ice of the MINER.
PHILIPsBURG, August II.
John Van Anda, a resident OF this
place, and lately an employe of the
Hope Mining Company, during an
alteration with William Queener, a
miner, living at Hasmark, was shot
through the brain and instantly
killed. The murder occurred in
John RAINS saloon between the
hours of l and 2 p. m. Queener was
badly cut about the face, but not in
jured sufficiently to stay in camp.
At present writing his whereabouts
is a subject of constant inquiry by a
committee who are DESTROYS of ascer-
tanning more about the unfortunate
affair than the witnesses to it are
able to give.
The attention of the Sheriff of Deer
Lodge county is respectfully invited
to this matter, to the end that the ma
jesty of the law may be vindicated in
the arrest and punishment of Queen
er, and the curiosity of our people, as
to the causes which led to this tragic
affair, satisfied. N1oBRARA.
From gentlemen who came in last
night from Phiilipsburg we learn
that the homicide IS involved in con-
siderable mystery and but few facts
are known concerning it. Queener
and Van Anda were drinking in
Rains saloon on Sunday afternoon
when a dispute arose between them
and Van Anda knocked Queener
down, who rose from the floor revelv-
er in hand and fired, the ball taking
effect in Van Anda's head, killing
him almost instantly. The murderer
fled from the town and those who
witnessed the affray have maintained
a remarkable reticence regarding it.
Queener formerly lived in Butte and
was employed last winter as a miner
in the Stevens mine. Van Anda
was an old timer and had resided in
Phillipsburg tor many years. He
was a miner and had the reputation
of being an honest, hard working
man but quarrelsome and vim
dictive when drinking. He was
about As years of age at the time OF
his death.

The Sunday Law as Applied to
Street Cars.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.-Judge Moonar,
of the Court of Criminal Correction,
before whom the Sunday law VIOLA
ton cases are being tried, decided this
afternoon that the State must prove
that the street cars are not necessary
in order to convict the officers
who are on trial for violating the law
by running cars on Sunday. All the
cases instituted against street rail

From the Daily of Friday.
. TERRIBLE
cornelius Kennedy Killed Out
right and Three Passen-
gers Injured by a Rum
away Team.

About noon yesterday D. X. But
ler's tri-weekly express left Bntte for
Anaconda. The team was driven by
Cornelius Kennedy, and two gentle
men and Mrs. Smith, who formerly
Kept . restaurant on West Park
street, and her child were passengers.
At about l p. m. the express reached
the descent north of Pierce's station,
at the Hump, in going down which,
the trace OF the off horse became de-
tached from the s%ingletree;
the off horse became fright
ened and lunged forward,
breaking the breast strap and freeing
him so that he made a circuit around
the nigh horse, which in turn became
frightened, and both horses started
to run, but were so entangled that
they could only rear and plunge in a
circuit, whirling the wagon rapidly
around with them, which capsized
with the first revolution and cOntin-
ued to revolve on the hubs until the
team became detached and ran away
across the hills. Cornelius Kennedy,
the driver, was thrown under the
horses feet and literally tramped to
death, the corks of the horses shoes
entering his forehead in two places,
causing wounds from which the brain
oozed out, and crushing in the skull
on the back part of his head.
The passengers procured a
team and returned to the city leaving
the dead body in the road. No reg
istry of the passengers was kept at
the stable and non of them could
be found last night, so their names
could not be a~scertained, bat it was
reported that all of them were more
or less injured and that Mrs. Smith
who is known to have been a passen-
ger, had her arm broken and was
otherwise severely injured. Coroner
Sarchet was notified early in the
evening and went to the scene
of the accident, where an in
quest was held at which but meagre
details were ELECTED, though suf-
ficient upon which to base
a verdict that the body was that of
Cornelius Kennedy and that he
came to his death by a fracture of the
skull caused by a kick from a horse
while the team was running away.
The body was brought to Kennedy's
on Montana street at IL o'clock
last night, where some friends took
charge of it and prepared it for
The deceased was we'll
known in Butte and until recently
had been driving a VAUDEVILLE ex-
press. He was an industrious. sober
man, and was possessed of a vein of
humor which made him popular
among his friends, all Of whom speak
of his manly qualities in the highest
terms of praise. He is not known to
have had any relative in Montana.

/ CAMP STAGER, ON TARRY's LAKE
Wyo., Aug. 13.-It was determined
last night to move camp this morn.
ing a few miles to where there would
be more abundant %grazing,for the ami
mails. Accordingly at $50 a. m
everyone was in the saddle, and
started up the valley on the right
bank of Wind river. Owing to the
rain of yesterday the trail was in
splendid condition for comfort in
marching. The sun was Obscured by
clouds, and with the temperature
below so degrees a finer day for our
journey could not be desired. At the
end of an hours travel over high
rolling lard, the Wind river was
reached where it passes through
gorgeous masses of rock, known as
Red Butte. The first crossing was
made by a diagonal direction up
stream, where the water is so
rapid that ones neighbor seems
to be moving up the stream
with the speed of a running horse.
Soon by a short ford the river was
crossed, and at the end of another
mile the western boundary of the
Shoshone reservation was reached.
From this point our travel was IN
teresting but not too difficult, our
road lying over a series OF lofty di-
vides, to escape the precipitous banks
of small streams flowing from the
mountains into the river.
In descending these it was neces-
sary to dismount and lead the horses.
On the highest divide we halted to
take in the beautiful view covering
scores of miles up and down the
yer, with the snow covered peaks of
the Sheshone mountains in front of
US. and those of the Wind River
mountains at our backs. Here we
took our last lock at the great land
mark, Crow Heart butte, thirty miles
away, which had been in view since
leaving Fort Washable.
Wallowing Buffalo, one of our
Arapaho guides, tells us, that it re-
ceived it's name from a great battle
between the Shoshones and Crows
many years ago. The victory of the
Shoshones was celebrated by burYing
the hearts of the dead Crows on the
summit of the butte.
After a ride Of twelve miles we
have reached the banks Of some beau
tiful lakes called after Captain larry,
formerly an officer Of the army, but
now owning large cattle her. s on
ranges near by. The lakes are said
to abound in large trout, and we ex-
pect to spend tomorrow fishing.
Game is not very abundant in this
neighborhood, but our hunters
brought in two antelope yesterday
and a few mountain grouse were
killed on this march to-day. Sho-
shone Dick, a white member Of the
tribe, who was captured probably
from an emlgrant train when so
young as to have lost all recollection
of the event, is one OF our Indian
party. He has gone off to look fer
signs of game, and we hope for a good
report from him. Our camp is named
Camp Stager, in honor of Gen. Anson
Stager, of Chicago.
