Taxes ON building Societies.


j. w. McClung, secretary of the st. Paul
Mutual Building association No 1, has writ
ten to Mr.. Stockton, secretary of the Fart
bault Building Association. stating the con-
struction which his society puts on the law
of last winter regulating the taxation
of building societies to be that
the stock of these associations
being withdrawable on sixty days,
notice are the same as deposits in banks.
They are debts, and are not taxable. The
act of last winter allows the association to
deduct this Indebtedness from the value of
the stock, unborrowed as well as borrowed,
because all is withdrawable. The law de-
clares the mortgages to be the real value of
the stock and the two substantially one
property, and they cannot be taxed, as that
would amount to double taxation. This leaves
for taxation whatever cash the association
has on hand May and the real estate and
personal property it owns. The taxes re-
naming against building associations are
therefore very light. st. Paul and Mime
apolis for several years have levied only a
nominal tax on them on account of the
great benefit they are to the cities and be-
cause 80 per cent. of their property is to go
into real estate, which is fully taxed.

band at Union and Merriam Parks will
take place this evening, commencing at
$50, closing at $50. At the first concert
the hour for beginning was fixed earlier. so
as to give the members of the band time to
take the return train. The result was that
good many arrived at the concert just as
the musicians were leaving for home. Mr..

Always Of a Quarrelsome Disposition and
Frequently in Trouble.

Hiram Perry, the chief moveri in the awful
tragedy, was raised in Ogden, Utah, and
was the son OF a Mormon Bishop, and was
about 20 years of age. When a mere boy
he obtained work on the Central Pacific
Railroad as a brakeman on a freight train
running from Carlin, Nevada, to Toano,
but after working there for two or three
years he was transferred to the run from
Ogden west. The mania for gambling got
the better OF him, and he became a profess
sional, since which he has done nothing
else. When the Utah and Northern road
was being built he followed the road as far
as Dillon. From there he drifted back
down the road, and up as far as Shoshone,
Idaho, where he first met frankie
Riley, and they went together
bringing up in the Ceur d'Alene mines.
In Murray, a year ago last May, Perry
killed an Indian under the following cir
cumstances: Perry and two other men
were playing seven-up for 81 a corner The
Indian came into the saloon in an intoxi-
Gated condition and wanted to play, but
those in the game did not desire his presence.
The Indian was SO anxious to take a hand
that he was finally let in, and the cards
were so manipulated that Perry beat the
Indian out of SO cents-all the money he
had. Exasperated at this he drew a large
knife and ran Perry out of the house.
Dodging behind a tree, he told the Indian to
stop, which he refused to do, and Perry
shot him dead in his tracks. Perry was
acquitted on his preliminary examination.
After this he and frankie Riley came back
to Dillon and that town has since been
the nome of both parties. Perry was a
powerful young fellow, very quarrelsome
when drinking, always ready for a fight in
any shape. He has been in 80 many diff
culties in and around Dillon that for some
months it has been rumored that the next
time he made Il break he would be treated
with d dose OF hemp, and several persons
there have been afraid he would kill some
good man, as he has done at last.

THE CAUSE OF TIL SHOOTING.
A Sketch of the Woman Who Caused the
Desperate Deed,

frankie Riley, the woman over whom
the murder and suicide took place, was
about 30 years OF age, and was not by any
means a handsome woman, although a
kind hearted, generous woman, and one
who is Away to be found on hand when an
act of charity was needed. She was mar
ried to James Riley, also a gambler, in
Frisco, Utah, about ten or twelve years
ago. Riley left her in that place, but after
some months returned and took her with
him to Ogden, and thence to S%hoshone,
where they had a split up, and the woman
became the mistress OF Perry, following
him in his rounds. While in Dillon she
lived only a short distance from the Ne
vada saloon, and frequently went there for
liquors. Perry was always jealous OF her,
although he knew perfectly well what her
character was, and treated in a most
shameful manner, often beating and abus-
ing her. Mr.. Morrison sympathized with
the woman, and when Perry and Riley
were dealing faro in the Nevada saloon,
often demonstrated with Perry for his NAL
treatment OF the Perry's jealousy
undoubtedly increased as time wore on, and
in a drunken spell he spilled the blood OF a
good man and ended his own miserable ex-
~istence.

THE MURDERED MAN.
Liked and Esteemed by
Everybody Who Knew Him.

A. M. Morrison, or "Mose," as he was
familiarly known, raj about 80 years OF
age, and was one OF the best known men in
Montana, having been in the Territory
since 1868. In that year he came to Ban
mack, in it's palmy days, and has been in
various parts of the Territory ever since.
After remaining some time at Bannack he
drifted away, t~akingin Virginia City, Madi-
son county, Jefferson county and other
mining districts. About ten years ago he
moved into Trapper gulch. above Glendale,
and there he had a saloon, and afterwards
he was engaged in the same business in
Glendale. At the last election he was a
candidate for assessor OF Beaverhead
county, and was defeated by T. F. Rein
hardt. After the result Of the contest was
known, he moved from Glendale to Dillon;
where he, in connection with B. H. Dettmer,
assumed the proprietorship OF the Nevada
saloon. which they were running at the
time of his death, also having a branch in
Bannack, started last summer. MI. Nor
rison was one OF those kind-hearted, gener-
GUS and broad viewed men, who have a
peculiar faculty of making friends wherever
they 20, and no man in Southern Montana
had more warm and true friends than he.

THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
An Unusually Long and In.
teresting Report.
A Review of the Yellowstone Park,
With q Request for Large
Appropriations.

In his annual report to the President,
L. @. C. Lamar, Secretary OF the Interior.
opens the document by somewhat lengthy
consideration of the Indian Bureau, pre-
facing it by the statement that whilst the
exhibit the Indian Commissioner makes OF
the condition of various Indian tribes and
bands within the limit of our country does
not show a result commensurate with the
efforts and expenditures in their behalf, it
makes manifest a general state OF peace
and order and considerable progress in the
mass of this dependent and helpless peo-
ple." Then follows the details (already
published) of the transfer Of the Apaches
on the San Carlos reservation, in Arizona,
to the War Department, adding that the
arrangement did not prove as satisfactory
as expected, although an improvement on
the old system. He gives an account OF
the several outbreaks, and adds:
1.-The recommendation of the Commits
sioner OF Indian Affairs that the less guilty
of the rebeIlious C~hiricahuas should be
transported to an island in the Pacific
ocean, as a penal colony, to earn their own
living by fishing, stock-raising, ETC., or sent
to the military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, merits consideration. They Ger
tainly should be removed during the COM
ing winter to some place where they can be
more securely guarded"
In referring to the Southern Utes and
their d%epredations he says: "These Indi-
are not disposed to till the soil, and ifthey
were the land on their reservation offers
many enharrassments, as much of it il
rugged and requires irrigation" Thu re-
commentator is made that they be rams
ferred to the Indian Territory. or to the
Ute reservation in Utah, where there is a
great deal of better land.
During the year 954 patents in scveralty
nave been issued to the Omaha Indians in
Nebraska, under a previous agreement.
INDIAN o AND LEASES.
After referring in detail to the various
other tribes the Secretary comes to the
question OF Indian schools, and gives the
following brief recapitulation concerning

DILLON, Montana, December 8.-Shortly
after midnight last night Moses Morrison.
one of the proprietors OF the Nevada
saloon in this town, was about closing the
saloon for the night. He invited several
parties to take a drink with him. Among
the crowd was a gambler by the name OF
Hiram Perry. While the drinks were be-
ing set up a woman of the town, by the
name of frankie Riley came in and was in
vitsd by Morrison to join the party and
90 to an oyster parlor a few doors away.
The woman started in advance Of the
crowd and the whole party, except
Perry, went into the restaurant. Morrl-
son called for oysters for the crowd, and
soon after Perry came in and sat at the
table with Morrison, the woman and
others. Morrison went to the clerks desk
and paid for the oysters. About the time
| Morrison turned from the clerks desk
Perry began to
USE soME ABUSIVE LANGUAGE
toward Morrison and the Morri-
son stepped outside the door, and Perry
said. God d--n you, I have a notion to
| kill you and her and myself, and end this
trouble" and as he spoke, drew a large
army pistol and shot Morrison, the
entering Dell entering boiow tho
left eye. Death vas instantaneous.
| Perry then turned and fired at the woman,
who was retreating through the back door
the restaurant. His aim was good, but
someone saw the revolver leveled in that
/ direction and
sNATCHED THE WOMAN ASIDE.
| The ball shattered her right arm. Perry
then placed the pistol to his w head and
blew out his brains. These are about the
facts developed at the inquisition
held to-day on the bodies of the
two men, Perry and his victim.
| DR.. Pickman amputated the woman's arm,
and she is not thought to be in danger OF
dying. She seems to have been the bone OF
contention. The woman, jealousy and
whisky played their usual parts, and
played them well. .aorrison was liked very
much. Perry was a gambler. He has
parents and friendsin Ogden. His remains
will be sent to his parents.
