some distance from Powderville, ar
rived at this ranch, which is fire..
quently ''run" by local terrors of the
COW camp, and it seems the night of
bis arrival at the place, another
traveller, a white man, also put in an
appearance ut the village. The sa-
loon that night happened to be In
the hands Of the ''terr0rs," and when
our two travellers came in, bv way of
pastime, q cowony named Gil dropped
q ak shooter on Mr.. Darkey and COM

said he didn't feel like dancing.
Bang! went the revolver the ball

another shot, this time striking with

keeping time with their spiked boots.
Finally they let up on the mig" and
gave him a drink. Their attention
was then directed to the strange

one of them addressed him:
'Stranger, you seem to like this fun;

off: "Let me persuade you to Dance"

the man with q six shooter. And

CONGRESSIONAL
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Hopkins
presented q preamble and resolution
to the effect that as Hon. J. Warren
Keifer has charged General III. v.
Buynton, Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga.
zette, with having approached him
with corruption while Speaker of the
House last ses ion q special commit
tee of five, to investigate the matter,
be appointed.
AT this juncture Keifer arose and
sent to the Clerks desk q letter
which he had written 10 Boynt0n
under dale ofthe 10Th inst, in answer
to a letter from Boynton asking
Keifer to cause an investigation
into the charges made against
him (Boynton) aud threatening tina,
unless Keifer caused steps to be taken
to that end to-day, he (B0ynt0n)
would make his letter public. Keif-
er's reply is long aud filled with q
most bitter uenunciatiOn OF B0yn
ton and his co-laborer, P. 81. Shaw,
both of whom he says, lost no Oppor-
tunity to defame him in their dis
patches. He called Boynton liar,
defamer and lobbyist, and in refus-
ing to move for an inyestig ,tion,
charges him with having forged and
published last summer letter pur- |
porting to be written by Keifer to the |
of the treasury.
He asserts that Boynt'n
said to him (Keifer) that he was q
F0Ol for not making money while
5Leaker, as Blaine and Cnlfax had
lone, and there was still plenty of
money To be made If the McGarrahan
dill could be got through, and that it
provided for the issue Of many mil
ions of acres OF valuable land scrip,
nd that there would be an abund.
lnce to divide. The letter closes
With the suggestion that Boynton
publish his letter and this reply to-
!ether. Keifer then sent up q letter
rom Boynton under date Of Febru-
ry 9th 1883 asking him (Keifer)
o recognize Du:rell for the purpose
# moving for suspension of the
ules aud the passage f the McGarra-
ian hi or McGarrahan claim, say
ng that he thou .ht the clam fair,
ut had no interest in it. |

Against Gov. Murray.
The Keifer-Boynron Affair.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-Accom.
panying the res0luti N offered In the
House this afternoon by representa-
tive Hopkins, providing for q COM
mission to investigate the charges of
corruption, made ny ex-Sreaker Kei-
fer against Gen II. M. BOyntOn were
two letters, written ty the latter to
the ex-Speaker containing the subjec.
of the charges and referred to by Kei-
fer to day in his statement to the
House. The first of these cOmmuni-
cations mentioned by Keifer in his
remarks a. "a scurrilous letter." was
as follows:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26th.
To Hon ]. Warren Keifer, House of
Representatives,.
About week ago, you saw fit to
declare before the House COM
mittee on accounts, where your
official action is undergoing investi-
cation, thai "clique of correspond
ents" had misrepresented you bt fore
the public because you had defeated
the claim they had attempted to lob
by through Congress. Being called
on by several correspondents and
asked for names and specifications.
you were pleased to use my name in
this connection end claimed you had
letters which would be produced IN
proper time to make good your
charges Thereup"n l publicly de-
nOunced your statement 10 far as it re-
lated to me, as dishonorable aud false
and challenged you to make good
your charges before the committee.
Keller then rehearsed. at some
length the inter views on the
McGarraban matter and said
that their acquaintance ceased
when BOynton suggested there
was money to be made by pass
ing the McGarrahan b itl.ard he had
never spokeI to him since. He
hoped the resolution would be opened
wide enough to admit P. H.
Shaw, and quoted from tn testimony
of Charles o. Bert before the commit
tee to investigate the Pacific Steam
ship subsidy to the effect that shaw
had received $l5, 900 for bis services.
Budd asked Keifer ii he did not ad- |
nit Boynton to the gallery. Keifer
replied that Congress adjourned two
days after he learned that Boynton
was lobbyist.
Hopkins said the communication
from General Boynton to the speaker
of the House should he read. The
letter concludes: Having thus
called your attention to the grave
charges made in writing by TX
Speaker Keifer which 1 pronounce
utterly devoid of truth, have the
honor to enclose herewith the full
text of his letter to me, together with
the correspondence pertaining there
to, and through you respectfully re-
quest the House to investigate the
matter.

-. =. HELENA, Jan. 80, 1884.
The, Convention devoted the entire
'dayto d scussing Dixon's substitute
for the section stricken out p 'ohibit-
ing free passes to public officers.
Toole moved to amend by includ-
ing private citizens, but this was re-
jeeted, as tending to render the prin-
ciple ridiculous.
The vote on the adoption Of the
substitute was a tie, 10 to 10, and was
declared lost.
The vote will be reconsidered to-
morrow, as one of the members voted
on a misapprehension of til ques.
ton. The free pass section will GER
sainiy carry.
Burleigh made very able speech
in support of the resolution.
Toole, with equal ability, opposed.
A warm feeling was aroused, but
strict courtesy maintained.
