A. SAD ACCIDENT.
A Brakeman on the u. q N. Ac-
ctdentally Shot.

Special Correspondence Of the MINER.
DEER LODGE, March 25, 1884.
A very painful accident occurred at
Garrison yesterday afternoon, the
particulars being substantially as fol-
ows: Just as the one o'clock passen-
ger train was approaching the depot,
MI. NJ. H. Young stood in readiness
to step off when it reached the plat
form. Immediately behind him stood
Mr.. John Shields, the brakeman. The
two men were friends, MI. Young
having recently been a brakeman on
the same train. BY some ~unaccount-
able meaus a Colts 41-calibre
single action pocket pistol, in the hip
pocket of MI. Young, was dis
charged, the ball taking effect in the
cap of the left knee of his friend, Mr..
Shields. The wounded man was at
once returned to Deer Lodge and
conveyed to the McBurney House,
where DR.. Owings was called in to
see him. The ball was pr0bed for.
but the patient being weak and K
hausted, it was deemed advisable not
to prosecute the examination. His
brother, who is conductor on the
train between Eagle Rock and Battle
Greek, was telegraphed for, and
reached here on the 2:l7 train to-day.
The company's physician, DR..
Mitchell, Of Ogden, having been
advised by telegraph of the sad occur
renee, at once dispatched to have the
wounded man taken TO Ogden on the
first train. which leaves Deer Lodge
at 2::3O to-day. Nj. Young is greatly
bereaved over the accident and stays
by the bed side of his wounded
friend night and day. He says he
cannot account for the pistol going
of, unless it be that the
motion of the ears as he stood
against the railing tended to raise
and liver the hammer. The wounded
man attaches no blame to MI. Young
saying to your correspondent that he
knew no more about the accident
than he did. The hip pocket IN
which was concealed the weapon
was considerably torn by the ball and

A Cowboy Did It Ali.
Helena Herald. March y.

Helena Herald. Match q.
Charles M. Lee, a large aud we'll
to-do cattle owner from the Rosebud,
related to a Herald reporter this
morning the following daredevil
freak of a cowboy, and its results
from retaliating vengeance by Chey-
enne Indians.
1t is related that "Sawney" Toll
terro, a cowboy in the employ of
Zook 4 Anderson. about Is miles from
Rosebud station, was In charge of che
rancho in the absence of the owners.
On the 18th of this month "Sswney"
remarked to one Reinhardt, another
cowboy, that he could ''put a bullet
through that Indians hat" alluding
to an Indian who was quietly sitting
on a pile of lumber about 40 feet
aw>y, land never draw blood"
Consequently "Sawney" pulled
away with his six-shoOter, (the
Indian seeing his motions and good
humoledly looking steadily in the
face of the man who he thought was
in fun, and shot a hole through the
Indians hat, sure enough, but in
doing so the bullet tore up the scalp
and inflicted a bloody scalp wound
which stunned the Indian and
caused him to fall over to n side
and call out, "Come here, boys"
AS soon as this daredevil act had
been perpetrated, the COW boys
started in one direction and the In
dian in another, evidently for the
purpose of getting help. In the
evening the boys returned to the
ranch with some neighbors, who
had come in to help protect the cow
boy, and when near the house they
were fired upon by some ten Chey-
enne Indians who had collected to re-
venge the outrage upon n of their
tribe. After the first fire. nobody
being hurt, the white men left for
their homes. The Indians then
broke into the house and robbed
it of everything they wanted or could
carry away, including blankets, pro-
visions, saddles, etc. They then set
fire to the house and premises and
burned them to the ground including
corrals and stables. The loss Of Zook
Il Anderson is over 5000. 1t seems
that there is an inoffensive tribe of
Cheyenne Indians living Oh the
Muddy about four miles from Lame
Deer creek, and on the Rosebud,
where they have selected farms and
are mostly following the pursuits Of
agriculture, and sc metimes, as is be-
lieved. killing a steer or a calf. This
wanton piece of deviltry on the part
Of the cowboy will surely be avenged
upon himself if he stays in that
country, and may involve the whole
neighborhood in a war with the In
dams on the Rosebud.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Taxing Mines.
HELENA, March q, 1884.

HELENA, March q, 1884.
To the Editor Of the MINER.
Just as I was leaving here for my
home, a friend sent me some news
paper clippings purporting to have
been taken from the Inter Mountain,
during my absence in California.
in relation to my action in the Cons
stitutional Convention, on taxing
mines. I find no arguments or facts
in rebuttal to what I advanced, but
much slurring and personal abuse,
which l will pass over by saying
that personalities do not always con-
stitute facts, prove argument, or add
ANYTHING to the good breeding of
those using them, but are generally
used when the writer has nothing
better to offer.
Although not a lawyer, I will bet
the editor of the Inter Mountain
five dollars against the good will Of
his paper-and it is the first bet l
ever offered to make-(I can afford
to be generous and give him such
odds)-that the article in the Consti-
tuition in relation to taxing mines
will not stand the test of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
IF we do not favor the mines for
eien capital will not come here to de-
velop them" All right, let foreign
capital stay away. Your mines will
be worked out soon enough. Look
at poor Nevada, where is the great
Comstock? Worked out and the
Mackays and Floods are spending the
proceeds in Europe. Our minerals
are as much the wealth of the coun>
try as the grass or the timber and
why should we allow foreign corpo-
rations to carry off much of this
wealth and not tax them on their In
vestments the same as on other prop
erty. The writer asked q leading

The Reform Club.

The exercises at the Reform Club
rooms last Sunday evening were of
an unusually Interesting character.
There was a very large attendance
and the speaking and singing were
highly enjoyed by all. The Misses
Rittenbouse favored the audience
with some choice vocal music which
added much to the pleasing exercises
of the evening. The roll of members
was increased by the names of sew
al who have determined to touch not,
taste not and handle not the intoxi-
eating cup in the future. The work
inaugurated by Ben Hogan finds
many able and willing champions
among the disciples of this great tenn
perance reformer.

A Terrible Voyage.

TORONTO, March 25.-The log OF
the steamer Chateau Marjaux''
gives the details OF a terrible voyage.
The "Marjaux' left Bordeaux with
provisions for only twenty days, but
meeting the ''Norseman" she secured
some provisions but could get no
other help. On the 18th inst. the
wind was blowing a terrible gale;
immense waves swept continually
over the vessel, carrying off every
thing above decks and damaging a
portion of the bulwarks. The gale
lasted three days. Several vessels
sighted, but were unable to help the
"Marjaux" on account of the high
seas, and her own rudder was in a
useless condition. All these, how
ever, gave all the encouragement pos
sible and attempted to render assist
ance. The steamer Oregon" on
the 18th took off three cabin and As
steerage passengers, who returned to
England. On the evening of the 18th
another heavy northwestern wind
raised the waves to mountainous
height, rolled and pitched the vessel
and threatened to swamp her. There
was great terror on board, and at
times the steamers boilers shook in
their stands and it seemed certain
they would break loose. Saturday
last, when about two hundred and
fifty miles from Halifax, the steamer
caledonia" after some demur, took
her in tow and brought her safely to
port. The *Marjaux" was a mag.
~nificently equipped boat, and was
intended for direct New York trade.

Three years ago the name of Grover Cleveland was merely local one Though he had than been forty -four years in the world, he had not succeeded in making himself known outside of the cor porate limits of Buffalo, and even in Buffalo had not gained any higher honor than that of sheriff of the county. By one of the peculiar accidents of munici- pal politics, he was chosen mayor of the city in 1881, and year later, by a sim lar stroke of chance, he became governor of the state. That is the substance of his political career, if we except his two years service as assistant county attorney All that he has of national prominence is due to the fact that in 1882, under cir cumstances of an exceptional sort, and on account of a remarkable division in the Republican ranks, he carried New York against Folger by plurality of 193,O00 On this, and this alone, rests his claim to popular respect and conf dence.
