Dawson County.

Dawson county has secured over
two-thirds OF the entire stock ship.
ments into Montana this spring. This
county has the advantage of being
new, and its vast grazing territory is
yet comparatively unoccupied.
The territory lying between the
Yellowstone, Missouri and Mussel-
shell rivers being q triangle bounded
on the three sides oy these rivers,
which form natural barriers against
stock straying to an unlimited ex.
tent, and in which over two hundred
thousand buffalo have grazed, makes
the finest roundup known in stock
countries. There is scarcely any
possibility of this vast range being
crowded for the next twenty years.

A. Hornhy Lewis, of Liverpool,
who has oeen in the city for a few
days, is here representing to a certain
extent the copper interests of Eng
land. He stated to MINER reporter
last evening that the copper market
in England depended altogether on
the product of Montana. He also
stated that there were $4,000 tons of
copper shipped to England last year
from the United States, of which
Montana produced about two-thirds.
Mr.. LIE wis thinks that Montana will
produce next year as much copper, if
not more, than Chilli, which has al
ways ranked the highest in the pro-
ductiOn of that metal.

~TELEGRAPHIC NEWS,


ST. PAUL. June 19.-This morning
occurred what may probably be a
double murder and suicide. J. Ceche-
via, owner of a small house, had rent
ed rooms to Mrs. Katherine Messur-
schmidt, aged Is. and her daughter.
Margaret, aged q. The women paid
thu rent to Cechevia's wife, which
angered him, and tonight he entered
the rooms Of the mother and daughter
armed with large knife. After short
talk lie attacked the women, stabbing
the old woman in the back and breast,
her wounds resulting in instant death.
Then he attacked the daughter and
stabbed her in the left lung, and also
inflicted a dozen other slight wounds.
She will probably die. Cechevia then
went to his own room, locked himself
in. took poison and cut the arteries of
both arms.

Side-Show Shouters.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Shouting for a side show is not the
most aesthetic occupation in the world
but 1t is one of the healthiest, and it
has other advantages which attract
the class Of young men engaged IN It:
In Yesterdays rain the reporter had
q talk with one of the outdoor men
of the recent addition to the city's
varied attractions in the amusement
line. and that was what he said about
the shouter's business. When asked
il that was all he could say for the
business, he replied: "Oh, no; it gtves
q man q chance TO travel, brOadeGs
his views and gives him an under
standing of human nature for which
no other occupation affords as great
an opportunity. This rain has
knocked business for this day, but
give me one hours sunshine and !
will start in again with the enthu.
siasm Of q man who has just entered
the business"
"In the East a good shouter gets
$25 q week, and they advertise and
are advertised for just as any other
class of talent. It is a regular busi>
ness there and we'll followed. Shout
ers are generally decent fellows, but
as their business Is often precarlous
thew sometimes will accept a situa-
ton with au unreliable Snowman,
and that, perhaps, is one thing which
has prejudiced so many people
against our trade. But shouting Is
u business, and it does not make
much difference to us whether it Is
the amphiblous anu carnivorous dog
or q panorama of the Hoy Land. 1t
is not an easy business to learn, but
when once a man becomes accus-
toned to it he can shout before the
crowned heads with the dignity md
ease of a fish-peddler in the most ia
mlliar alley on his business route.
ut Is a great business in one way.
| You see, We don't have to pack any
| apparatus or carry any wardrobe. A
| man can start OH q moments notice.
! But hotel men are not apt to THINK
any more of q traveller because he has
no baggage. That's the way ofit-one
, thing balances another. There are
| advantages and drawbacks, ups and
| downs. The worst calamity of all, o.
! course, is the failing of the voice.
! did YOU ever see q shouter who
| couldn't shout? Well, he is the most
melancholy man you ever will see
He pines away and dies. Before disso.
luton everybody abuses him. The
curiosities whose praises he has sung
for years refuse to recognize him
| aud the boys who used to stea' in un.
| der the tent make him the butt of all
their jokes. He is the embodiment O
| misery. You can knock him down
| with a straw. Try it." :,
At this point the shouter pused.
he had ratified his story of the
strange business in much the same
| stvIe he would have assumed on bis
| tox in front OF the show. He did moi
appear at least exhausted, but the re-
porter found some difficulty in keep
ing track of the Ideas elucidated by
| the valuable Snowman.

A FOUL MURDER,
a Utah & Northern Braka,n..
Murdered in Cold Blood.
NO Glue Yet Obtained of tne
Guilty Party.

Special to the MINER,
GARRISON, NJ. T., June Goth. 'S4.
AS Coles circus train was leaving
Deer Lodge yesterday morning about
z O'Clock and when about ten miles
from town five pistol shots were heard
by one of the showmen, and a search
OF the train revealed the fact that the
head brakeman, John Edwards, had
been foully murdered. He was found
on top OF a stock car, lying face down
with his feet hanging over the side of
the car. When the body was found
the face and hands were cold but the
body was still warm. On examina-
ton it was found he had been
shot through the right breast
just left of the nipple
with a 44-calibre revolver, killing
him instantly. His clothes were
burnt, showing his murderer was
near him when he fired the fatal
shot. The face and head were some
what beaten and bloody, indicating a
struggle. The body was brought to
Garrison and the Sheriff and Coroner
were sent for. An inquest was held
yesterday afternoon, but few facts
were elected beyond the above. The
only possible clue to the perpetrator
was the testimony Of one of the show
men who had seen an old man and
boy who had been beating their way
with the circus for some days, talk~
ing with the murdered man just after
the train started. This was the last
seen of Edwards alive. The Coroner's
Jury returned q verdict he came to
his death by a pistol in the hands of
an unknown person. Several per-
sons were arrested on suspicion and
released as there "a no evidence to
indicate them. Edwards home is
in OEden, where his remains were
sent to his mother yesterday at the
close of the inquest. He was a steady
young man of about % years of age,
well-liked by all who knew him, and
was formerly yard brakeman in the
Ogden yard for over two years. The
feeling among railroad men here was
intense, and if the murderer could
have been captured he would doubt>
less have been treated to a hemp
necktie. Under Sheriff Mc1ague has
gone to Helena to look after suspected
parties.

An old man who had braved the
blasts Of seventy winters took a front
seat at the performance of the circus
the other day. A young acquaint-
ance who came in and took a seat be-
side the old man, exclaimed: why
1 am surprised to see as old a man as
YOU at a circus performance" II
always come" said the old man
quietly, II care nothing for the gem
eral performance, but 1 come to hear
the Clowns" Do you come to laugh
at the jokes:.' 'on, no; l don't
laugh at them any MORE" replied the
septuagenarian, "but I enjoy the
jokes because they revive old mem
| cries and take me back to my child
hood days, when I used to sit on my
grandtather's knee and hear him tell
them as they were told by the clowns
when he was a boy"

q. Blaine Not Engaged.

The Chicago Journal prints the
following: "Thcre is not the shadow
of truth in the report set afioat in this
city and Milwaukee, and sent all
over the country, that a son of the
Hon, James G. Blaine and a daugh-
ter of the editor of the Chicago
Tribune are engaged to be married.
The report had it's origin in petty

ed. no such thing as marriage has
