ANOTHER oLp-TIMER GONE.
PatrIct j. Fern Comes Home 10 Die.

Patrick j. Pagan, in The + stages of con-
sumption, arrived from California list Fri
day and died jrst after the turn of the night
Tuesday, in st. Joseph's hospital He had
travelled the continent over in tho past ten
years in search Of health, and came home at
last, when hope had fed, to die.
Mr.. Pagan WI" we'll nown in this county,
and highly esteemed ~ an honest. indus
trious, good-hearted man. He had no kin,
he said, and never spoke of his history prior
to his coming to Montana. 1t was In Bear
Gulch, in 1866 or 7, where he was engaged in
mining, that G: per Geerdts first met him.
In 1872, Geerdts and Pagan associated as
partners In Pioneer, and continued as such
until rs. He lost much or all of the money
he had accumulated in the Pixies Peak
Flume Co., but retrieved his fortunes, and
in 1888. feeling Ill, started in quest Of health,
receiving medical attention in Buffalo,
Brooklyn, Portland, Ore, San Francisco
and San Jose, from which latter place he
returned Friday-past all surgery.
Despite the terrific storm OF Wednesday
afternoon, his funeral was very largely at
tended. Among his old friends who came
all the way from Pioneer to pay tribute of
respect to his memory were

FIGHT AT SPRING HILL.
Probable Fatal ARRAY Between Two
workinEmen.
Butte Miner, 6M.

Last Tuesday difficulty occurred between
William Garland and John Williamson, both
machinists employed In the Utah 81 North
ern round house at Spring Hill, caused, IL is
said, by the jealousy of Williamson. The
latter left the shop, but soon re-entered with
revolver In his lett hand and a four-inch
dirk In his right. When quite near TO Gar
land he commenced swapping the revolver
nj him. Garland dropped his tools and took
the pistol away from Williamson. The two
clinched, and In the struggle that ensued for
the possession of the dirk, both fell-Garland
on top. Williamson still retained bis hold
on the weapon, and while his adversary was
delivering sturdy blows with his fists, he
managed to make eight ugly gashes in Gar
lands body-nearly disemboweling him
before they were separated. Garland got up
and attempted to walk away, when he drop
ped 10 the floor In a fainting condition.
Medical assistance was summoned, and after
an examination IL was found that Garland
had received slight cut back of the left ear,
one on the left shoulder, three in the back,
one on left side, openi ing cavity of the body
and exposing the omentum IA portion OF
which had to be removed), and liberating
part Of the intestines, and one through the
muscles of the left thigh. All of the cuts are
very deep, and several of them are danger
Gus. Williamson was arrested and placed In
Jail, where he will be held until the result of
the injur les are ascertained.

"xD-TRACKS
From the Humors Of the Frontier.

"Our reporter saw X. Beidler wiping his
eyes just after one of the balloon ascensions
ut the Territorial Fair. Inquiring IL he was
weeping because the ballonist had safely de-
| scended, K answered not that, but because
the balloon looked so much like his father
laws tepee,' was the reason for his shedding
tears."-Great Falls Tribune.
This reminds us that "X - came near max
ing the greatest effort Of his life at the Pho
neers' meeting when he was elected Vice
President for Dawson county, and the cry
went up-"Speech Speech" "Speech ~
But his modesty got the best Of him, and as
he stepped down and out of the courtroom,
bowling and waving his hand with embar-
rassed Chesterfeldian grace, he only said
I'll make my speech, boys, when get
home to Dawson"
Really "X." had a story to tell, which is
better than speech sometimes, and as he
gave half dozen Of ms a private rehearsal
Of 1t on Parchens corner few minutes after,
we herewith give him away. The story re-
lated to the brave old Scotchman after whom
Dawson county was named, and who was
serving the Hudson Bay Company as agent
IN Montana nearly fifty years ago. 1t ap-
pears Dawson had in his employ . man
named "Ree"-or so it was pronounced
and he also had few fine shoats that were
about as valuable in Montana, pound for
pound, then, rs a colt of Maud s. sired by
Jay-Eye-See would be- now. Rec, however,
set his heart on one Of those pigs for Christ
mas dinner, and on and after Christina that
pig was missing from the bosom of Dawson's
pig family. Nothing was said, but shortly
after, when the annual settlement WIS made,
an item on the debit side Of Reefs account
was-"To one pig, $40" Dawson had dis
covered the theft and quietly charged up the
$40, which amounted to nearly year of
Reefs wages, and he was immovable to any
entreaty for modification. Some weeks after,
he, with Rec, WIS crossing country in a
binding snow-storm, and Dawson, squirting
ahead, went over horse and all into coulee
full of snow, from whence neither could
emerge. Dawson shouted, and Rec, riding
up to the edge Of the bank, Dawson called to
him for help. lee took in the situation at a
glance, and saw his opportunity.
"Will ye take the pig off the book,
Major?"
"Neyer, you Internal scoundrel! Come
and get us out Of this hole"
"Never hand, Major, till you say you
will take the pig off the book"
"Never, sir, never! Come this instant,
sir, aud relieve u.s."
But Rec stood pat; Dawson stormed and
fioundered and floundered and ragged for an
hour, until he was exhausted, while Rec
moved along the bank keeping warm.
Finally Dawson sang out "Reew
"What is 1t, Maori"
"Come and help US out"
"Will ye take the pig of the book?"

A few minutes more a larias had been
tossed, and the Major was hauled out; and a
little later his horse was released.

INHUMANITY.
Death OF Child at Helena From Brutal
Treatment. ar

The people Of Helena are just now very
much exercised over the death in that city
Sunday night last Of Cora Rehberg, nine.
year-old child who died in the Sisters Hos.
pitai from wounds inflicted by brutal STEP
mother. The little girl was taken to the
hospital nearly month ago covered with
bruises and told the attendants that they had
been inflicted by her mother, or stepmother,
the most Of the wounds being caused by
kicking her with apair Of wooden shoes that
had been brought from Germany. 1t Is said
there was not spot upon the child's bedy
which was not blue and yellow from blows
A great sore formed upon one Of her legs,
caused from the flesh being bruised to the
bone, and from this her death Is principally
Cue. Gangrene and blood poisoning set in,
and the case, which was doubtful, became a
certainty-hsr life could not be saved.
After her death Sunday morning officers
went out to Silver City and arrested both
father and stepmother and placed them in
the county jail. The father was at his own
request permitted to be present ut the funeral
Of his child, which took place at Silver City.
The stepmother expressed no wish TO be
present.

A MYSTERY OF THE RIVER.
Dead Body Found Cast mp by the Waters
Near MuIkey Canyon.

Mr.. Dan Berry, j. p, of Drummond. was
in town this week, and fled the papers rela-
tive to a Coroner's inquest held by him on
the bank Of the He'll Gate river, about three
fourths of mile below Mulkey Canon, Aug.
"a, 1885. Messrs. John A. Childs, W. H.
French, b. +. earns, John Edwards. ID. Ste
phens and George II. Pottle were the jury,
and the verdict found was that 'sthe name of
the man and the cause or time of his death
was to them unknown; that the body was
badly decomposed, and that some time had
passed since he was evidently drifted upon
the bank of the river by the high water"
The body was buried on the point of the hill
near BY
From the evidence it appears the body was
found cast ashore in the lonely place indica-
ted, by Charles E. Howell and Alfred J.
Howell, who testified to finding 1t there
Aug. q. They notified Justice Berry, who,
~ acting Coroner, held the inquest. The
only clue to the identity Of the man was a
stencil plate found on him bearing the name
CHARLES WENDELL. This same name was
also in due bill for a small amount, and
partly illegible, found on his person. There
was also found q railroad ticket from Omaha
to Helena over the U. p. railroad, dated Oc-
tober, 1884, and punched as far as Garrison.
There YVES also found on his person a bag
gage check of the Walker House, Salt Lake,
and q baggage check of the U. p. r. r. Co.
These facts connected 60 to show that Chas.
Wendell left Omaha last October, came via
Salt Lake to Garrison, and was drowned in
the Deer Lodge or He'll Gate river, or killed
and thrown in above or near Garrison.
, DR.. T. A. Bishop, of Drummond, who
made the post norton examination, testified
that there were no marks or evidence of vio-
lence on the body, but that the left arm had
been broken at some time past between the
middle and lower thirds.
We publish these particulars. a. their re-
publication in Omaha may lead to identified
ton of the person, relieve the anxiety of
friends and enable them, If they desire, to
obtain the body and effects.

Timber Claims.
Great Falls Tribune.

Those who believe that claims are fraudu-
lent should pay visit to w. Il. Fredericks
timber claim on Box Elder creek, and take
a back seat. Mr.. Frederick has seven thou
sand trees set out or sown this spring, every
one of which is from two to four feet high
and in q thrifty condition. They consist of
box elder, locust, balm of gilead, elm, and
silver leaf poplar. We learn that instead of
ten acres, Mr.. Frederick intends to have fif.
teen or twenty acres of trees, which will DO
worth a fortune in themselves before eight
years are gone. We believe the timber cul.
ture act is 60 cd one, and that our farmers
would be we'll paid by availing themselves
Of its requirements.

COUNTY OFFICES AND VAULTS.


On the assembling of the County Commits
sioners on Tuesday, two bids were presented
for building the Offices and vaults advertised
for. The bid Of Messrs. Cosgrove q Co., Ana
conda, was sl4, 900, and that Of Messrs. Nc
Dewitt & Mcconnell, Of Butte, s13,5 The
bid OF the latter was accepted, all the COM
missioners voting faye" '--. -
The building win be 40xs1 feet, and is to
be completed this year. 1t will contain two
offices, one 23x20 feet and one 23xA feet, sep
arated by . hall ten feet wide; one vault
for the Clerk and Recorder win be 14x2o feet
In the clear, with an exterior light, protected
BY inner and outer steel CRATES, enabling the
records to be examined without removal,
and yet fire and burglar proof Two other
vaults, for the Treasurer and Probate Judge,
will be each 8x9 feet in the clear, all built Of
the most substantial masonry, fitted with
Hall & Co.'s steel vault doors, with combi-
nation lecks. The rock walls will be 30
inches, and the brick walls 16 inches, with
20inch thickness on the pilasters. The cell
inRs will be Is feet, and the foundation walls
five feet high. The roof will be fat deck,
covered with tin. The building will require
vaults being of very substantial masonry.
This Is the most important and expensive
part that would enter into the construction
Of court house, and the architect has so
drawn the plans that the present structure
will enter into and be an integral part of
court house building when it shall be deemed
proper to erect one. Although 1t is quite ex-
pensive, 1t is great deal better expenditure
Of the money than to fritter away few thou
sand less In detached buildings that would
In few years be useless. The several con-
tractors figured close on tho work, as their
bids evidence, and we are satisfied there is
but a fair margin on the building let. The
vaults are very councillors, and the amount
involved In the construction Is 81 nothing
compared to the damage that would result
from destruction Of the records of this
county. While building them and the nee
essary offices, it is better to build substan-
TALLY, with view to the eventual incorpo-
ration of this portion in the well planned
court house that will some day here be
erected. This Is the view the commissioners
took Of the matter, and 1t is a correct one.
Work commences on the building imme-
diately.
