The billiard Tournament.

CHICAGO, December 23.-Schaeffer and
slosson played the concluding game in the
Raik- line tournament tonight, before less
than 400 spectators. There was little or no
betting. Schaeffer won by 800 to 66s.
This leaves the championship another
triple tie. The game on both SIDES was a,

Was 1t a Murder.

The Missoula Times OF yesterday has the
following regarding recent tragedy in that
nlace. Drank Dierman made a discovery
the other day that may be of service in un-
folding the mystery surrounding the recent
cabin fire in Missoula. 1t will be remem-
bered that the charred remains OF a man
we're found in the ruins OF the cabin. as fully
described in the Times at the time. Mr.:
Dierman CHANGED to pass by the cabin and
saw something glittering in the sand. on
examination he found one gold and one Sill
YER watch, both being intact, but the works
destroyed by fire. The cases are u sufh, IL
GENTLY preserved to be easily iden titled and
may lead to the identity OF the unfortunate
man burned in the cabin. 1t will be re-
membered that several burglaries were re-
ported in town about the time OF the 1lre;
Mr.. Dierman thinks the cabin was occupied
by two robbers, and that one murdered the
other and then took the booty, perhaps
forgettn the watches: and lett TOR other
parts. This is certainly a plausible theory.
Further de, e,elopments will be awaited with
interest.

THAT FORGED NOTE TRANsArTIO,
The Matter Being Ferr.ted Out in Cali
fOrnia.

SAN FRANCISCO, December ga special
from Santa Barbara SAYS: Strenuous
Efforts have been made by the First Ma.
tlonal Bank OF this city to get at the bot
tom OF the alleged forged acceptances OF the
Camden Consolidated Oil Company. of
Parkersburg, w. Va. The facts, as far as
learned, are that DR.. f. W. Crooks, acting
as agent for the Camden Consolidated Oil
Company, purchased of H. l.. Williams 995
acres of
THE ARTEGA RANCH
for $4,000 and gave in payment
$4,000 in cash and three notes, Sc
cured by mortgage. The first for $21 900,
payable in three months, the second for
vi ZOO payable in six months, and the
third for $23. 900 payable in nine months.
Later the notes were exchanged for three
acceptances on the Camden Consolidated
Company for the same amounts, payable
in two. four and six months. The first of
these acceptances was discounted at the
First National Bank, and about $4,000
paid on it.. THIS was in turn sent to the
Bank OF California, San Francisco. The
latter addressed the Camben Company in
forming them they held the notes in ques-
ton. An answer came back from the COM
pany stating they had
NO KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH DRAFT,
and they pronounced 1T forgery. The
draft was then sent back to Santa Barbara
to the bank, which made good the amount
to the Bank OF California. The bank here
claims to be amply secured, and feels no
uneasiness as to the result as far as it is
concerned. In reference to the matter, w.
w. Hollster, President of the First
National Bank, makes the statement that
the bank will not be inconvenienced by it's
connection with this transaction, and
further states: I'VE are trying to get at
the bottom of the whole matter" All the
California people connected with the affair
are OF irreproachable character, but the
whole matter still remains u mystery.

night, Emma Merlotin, Il French courtesan.

almost to death and ran for their lives.
None of them were shot, but a number
were injured in their eagerness to escape.
Two, whose names were not learned,
jumped over a small precipice and were
quite seriously injured. After all the miners
had been driven off, Superintendent Jones
took charge, but he was also compelled to
retreat under threat OF bodily harm. AT
O'Clock all is reported quiet, the strikers
having departed shortly after daylight. 1t
is said that the working miners at the old
Eagle pit will be supplied with arms to-day
for future protection.

still in possession OF the mine. An attack
with stones was also made on the homes OF

DIsCONTENTED MINERS.
Masked Men Attack the Working Force
at the Eagle Mine.

PlrrsBURG, Pa, December 23.--At about
4 o'clock this morning seventy-five masked
men put in an appearance at the old Eagle
Mines near Monongahela City, and as the
working miners approached the mines they
were halted and compelled to return to
their homes under heavy fire. The strik-
ers seemed more desperate than upon any
previous occasion. All were armed, and at
least twenty-five shots were fired. Super
intendent Jones, of the old Eagle mines,
says the strikers had evidently laid in
wait the greater part OF the night in the
woods near the mines, as they were not
observed until they rushed down the hill
side,

The Clarendon Times says: Later ad-
vices from the Western part of Clarendon
county give distressing details Of the dam
ages wrought by the cyclone. One lady had
her jaw bone broken, while others sustain
ed injuries more or less serious. It's report
ed that Mr.. Weeks had caught around q
tree, but his hold was torn loose by the vi0-
lence OF the wind, and he was hurled for
some distance, striking the ground with
such force as to break several ribs and in.
flict injuries which we sincerely hope may
not prove so serious as reported. Mr.
Weeks premises, Mrs. Mannings and Mr..
CARROTS, we learn, are greatly damaged.
Judge Aldrich who has been suffering
for several months with neuralgia, recently
went to Baltimore to seek surgical relief
Respecting his present condition the Colum-
bia Register of Friday says: A friend re-
ceived yesterday from Baltimore the grati-
flying intelligence that the nerve Of Judge
Aldrich's face was operated upon,- on the
oath ultimo, for neuralgia with perfect sue,
cess so far. DR.. Tiffany, who operated, said
on the 18th ultimo, after dressing the face,
''the patient is getting along fnely;" and
says the writer, he is cheerful, eats wei, !,
and hopes to hold court in Orangeburg the
latter part of the approaching term. -
Says the Florence Times: On Frfuay7
morning last, Elias Graham, a one-legged
colored shoemaker of Florence, was found
dead on Dargan street. The coroner held
an inquest, the verdict of the jury being
that he came to his death by drink and ex-
posure. His body was allowed to remain
where it was found, on prominent street
and near private residence, from Friday
morning until Sunday, when it was buried
by council. It does not seem possible that
ahuman being should be subjected to such
neglect in civilized country, vet this IS
the second circumstance of the kind which
has occurred in Florence within week.

The Old Chap would remind his friends who
have not settled that they must do so at an early
day, as his books must be settled. Look out and
save COST He needs and must have his money
very soon. Remember there are few of you If the
Old Chap had asked you for loan Of 800 but
that would have remarked at once, "When can
YOU pay and what security have you to offer ?'
But the Old Chap sells you goods, that is lends
and now he has to beg you to come up and settle.
Many he has to send for and then does not get
the money. Just think how you would like to
be treated in such a way. Think OF it twice and
the third time you will come up and pay the
Old Chap without further trouble.
