A Fatal Accident.

As the 4:45 passenger train was
coming up from Silver Bow juno
ton Sund ~ afternoon, and while op-.
posite Rocker, it ran yer and killed
a Chinaman. 1t appears that as the
train rounded q curve in the road at
that point the engineer saw the Chi
na,,.n about one hundred feet ahead
Of the train, walking on the ties just
outside of the rails. He Immediately
blew the whistle. rang the bell.and
reversed the engine. The Chinaman
took no Botice of the whistle and
made no eff ,rt to get away. On the
c~ontrar, without turning around he
sran.,ed between the rails. No sooner
hai hs done this than he was struck

rack. AS he was hurled from 1t bis

found that the Cninaman, name un-

accidentally run oyer as mentioned
and that no blame was attached to
the engineer and other employees
upon the train, they having done all
IN their power to prevent the acct
dent.
The Chinaman presented a ghastly
appearance, his head being mashed
and every ounce of brains knocked
out of it. Two or three dollars in sill
yer was found in one pocket and a
vial containing prepared opium for
smoking was taken from another.
An opium pipe was also found in his
camp outfit which he carried with
him. The supposition is the China
man was deaf or so Supplied with
opium that he neither heard the
rumbling of the train mol the screech
of the whistle. He had sufficient
warning to have moved safely from
the track mad he needed 1t. His re-
mains were buried yesterday by I'M

The last heat was we'll contested,

Jackson county, Michigan in 1858.
He also thought that the Republican
party in Butte could not be run by

Hon. w. Y. Pemberton Wanted
for Delegate to Congress.

THOMPSON FALLS, April q.
ED. MINER: L know your people
will be glad to know q reaction has
taken place in the mines.
The dulness of the camp, which
was the natural consequence of a
premature boom, has given way to
intense excitement and unusual
activity in general business but more
especially to prospecting. The re-
ports received here for the past week
sound so extravagant that l won't
give them, but accepting one>tenth
of Them as the truth, one would be
forced to believe that the Ceur
d'Alene Ia destined to be the richest
camp that has ever been struck. I
know from personal observation that
every claim that ia on bedrock is
paying big.
The people of Miascula county are
beginning to discuss politics, and by
the way, our people are with one &C.
cord IN favor Of District Attorney w.
Y. Pemberton, of your city, for dele
gate to CONGRESS-. He is the choice
of our people over all competition.
He has been a Democrat all his life,
serving his party faithfully and the
only office he has ever held is that Of
District Attorney, which I think is
not a just recognition of his services
to his party.
The faithful and able manner in
which he has conducted this Office
has commended him strongly to our
people. He was one Of the earliest
settlers OF the Territory, was here in
the dark days Of u history and
everybody knew just where to find
him wher it cana to questions of
law and order and the good of the
country.
That he is honest, faithful and en-
inentlv qualified no nan will deny
that he has the ability to meet any
adversary on the stump and bear the
banner to victory is a matter known
10 all our people. The people of this
county feel tat the West Side ought
to have the Delegate, and with one
accord are demanding the non.ina>
ton and election of Mr.. Pemt erton.
This is the voice of the people of this
county, and l know whereof speak.
That the counties of the West Side
will Join us in this issue is the ear
nest wish of the people of Missoula
county. BITTER ROOF
