Active preparations are being made at the
Amphitheatre for the Beecher lecture, and
| the hall is being provided with new seats
throughout. If Bosworth fills the three halls
which he has rented for Beecher's lectures In
Helena, Deer Lodge and Butte, he will make
a good thing. The Helena amphitheatre will
seat something over 1000; the Deer Lodge
rink will seat about 800 and the Butte am
phitheatre will seat 1000 Independent.
John Chinnick, manager of the Cosmopoli-
tan theatre Miles City, which was burned a
day or two before and in which the large
conaagration started, and leader Of lawless
gang that exists IN that place, was shot at
his residence on Monday night Of last week,
| probably fatally. He stated that he shot
| himself accidentally but one rumor says his
| wife did the shooting, while another ascribes
1t TO some member of the roughs who feared
| Chinnick was about to play the traitor TO
the crowd. The same night the good citi-
zens organized q vigiante committee and
ordered number of the roughs away. These
went to Fort Keogh and asked for military
protection which was refused them, the COM
mander offering, however, to see them safely
away. This not proving satisfactory the
roughs returned to Miles City, organized in
force, and ordered number of the vigilan-
ties of town, a la the Dodge City, Kansas,
ruffians. Both pa ties remain In the town
aud are resting on their arms.
A tourist party discovered human skele-
| ton recently on the Fire Hole river IN yell
lowstone Park. Close inspection disclosed
| the fact that the skeleton was that of wo-
| man, somewhat above middle stature, and
its condition indicated that IL had lain there
| for several years. Near the bones was found
a single braid of auburn hair, about ten or
twelve inches in length. There was also u
remnant of a quilt that had been lined with
piece of carpet, and piece of bamoral
| skirt, and the remains of what IL supposed
to have been feather pillow. Near by n
| large tree had been blazrd on one side as
| high rs II man could reach, and at u distance
| of hundred yards, or perhaps IA little more,
another tree had been marked in a SIMILAR
manner About midway between the two
trees, and in direct line with them, u hole
about foot deep had been newly dug, and
| its appearance leaves no doubt that some
| thing had been cached there, and that the
| cache had just been raised by n man who
| is now known to have stolen horses in his
| possession, whose suspicious actions first at.
| traGted their attention. The blazing of tho
| trees had also been done for several years.
| probably ~ long ago as when the woman
| came to her untimely end. The apparent
| coincidence between the length Of time which
the bones have been bleaching in their desc
late resting place aud that which has elapsed
since the marks were placed on the trees,
together with the plain relation which the
hiding place bears TO the latter, rs well rs
| the evident directncSs with which the man
| went to the place TO dig up whatever may
have been hidden there, certainly atiords
substantial reasons for the supposition that
| the capture Of the horse thief may lead to
the unearthiug of another and far more
| heinous crime.-MddiSonida
