CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS.
A Big Timber Tragedy in Which "Sl
Jim" Takes Life.

Jim" Takes Life.
There was rejoicing among the abode
of the ungodly at Big Timber last Sunda,
because of the arrival in town of q woman
OF easy morals named Maggie. One o
the leading participants was Robert Whit
field, the notorious hummer "Slim jim
who long made Livingston his habitat
Jim and the woman were drinking to
gether in Brooks hotel saloon and the
latter was f1ourishing an old cap and ball
pistol, much to the terror of the woman
who was wrongly led to believe that it was
loaded and that Jim was likely to shoot il
off at any moment. They then went down
to Bliss saloon where Maggie called up
the drinks and in paying for them dropped
some silver on the floor. jim gallantly
picked up one dollar but instead of giving
it to its owner called up the boys to have
a drink with him. Maggie objected to
this liberality and demanded the return of
the money. As compromise she told
jim that if he would 60 out doors and fire
the load out of the old pistol she would
set up the drinks for the house. Jim
promptly agreed. There was no load in
that pistol but he had seen loaded As
calibre Colts revolver behind Brooks bar
and concluded that if he fired cartridge
out of that gun Maggie would be satisfied
by the noise and buy the drinks. So lie
went in to Brooks, seized the revolver and
rushed toward the door with it. But Mr..
Brooks had seen his movements and cal
ling to him to give it up started after him
to take the gun from him. Jim saw him
coming and made all haste to earn the
promised drink. He reached the door.
thrust out the revolver beyond the door
post to the left, looked backward at
Brooks and fired. Sitting on bench
just beside the door, leaning forward with
his elbows on his knees and his right
shoulder turned from the door was Hans
Olson, deliberately cleaning the ashes out
Of his pipe, The bullet from the revolver
in Slim Jim's, hand entered Olson's should

passed through his heart and came out of |
the left side of his chest. When the shot
was fired he sat still for three or four
seconds, got up from his seat, took two
steps forward, gasped once and fell
dead.
He was scandinavian by birth about
30 years Of age: He was sober, indus

Whitfield was of course Mortified to ob-
erve what had resulted from his criminal

animation and was committed to await the

The Trick of Il Lame and HrOken-SDirited
Cayuse.

The Trick of Il Lame and Broken-spirited
| Cayuse.
Last summer when j. II. Hrenncr passed
though here with herd of horses he lost
one of the band and it was subsequently
recovered and placed in George Haldorn's
charge, At one time the animal got
caught in its picket rope, fell and injured
its hlp so that ever since 1t has had a sort
of hop-and- -go-fctch-it gait and seemed to
entirely lack the spirit and action of
horse. Last Monday Thomas Noble took
the beast in hand to teach it some habits
of usefulness under the saddle. In the
evening he was exhibiting the defects of
tho lame, meek and spiritless animal to
some friends and, seated in the saddle, had
dropped the bride from his hand and
turned partly around to point out the
trouble In the hip. Just while he was in
that position the beast concentrated its in
nate cussedness for one grand effort, buck
ed suddenly, threw Noble high in the air,
twirled him over, caught him neatly on
the horn of the saddle as he came down
and broke his collar bone as though it had
been an egg shell. DR.. Perry reduced
the fracture and the injured man is doing
we'll. The lame cayuse galloped away to
the hills at great speed but was re-captur-
ed next morning.
The Pioneer Harness Shop.
E. Goettllch, during the years past,
has been proprietor of the Pioneer Harness
Shop in Livingston under the management
of ]. F. Long and has also operated
similar business in Miles City under his
personal conduct. But it seems that from
causes not necessary to state he has al
lowed his affairs to become heavily involv-
ed so that the late fire in Miles City fairly
prostrated him. p. j. Peters & Co., of
St. Louis held mortgage on the Living
ston business to secure debts mostly con-
tracted through the Miles City depart
ment. During the past few weeks they
have foreclosed the mortgage, and ON
Thursday Sheriff Edsall sold the stock en-
bloc at public auction. 1t was bought in
behalf of Joseph F. Long who is now
and will be proprietor of the business.
Mr.. Long has managed the shop success
fully ever since its establishment; we
have always thought he should be its pro-
prietor and are glad to see him in full
charge.

"sHoRE DUTY"
The Success of Some Naval Officers in Avoid
ing Going to Sea.

The Success of Some Naval Officers in Avoid
ing Going to Sea.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAM Alt is an unwritten rule
that naval officers should not be allowed more
than three years ''shore duty" in Washington
before being ordered to sea for cruise. The
violat1on Of this regulation leads to great deal
of feeling and dissatisfaction upon the part of
officers who are not among those fortunate
enough to stand in" with the powers that be-
It has frequently been said, and the assertion
seems susceptible of proof, that political inf1u-
ence frequently results in injustice in this re-
spect There are in Washington to-day a great
shore and have evaded sea voyages for years be-
cause they have friend at court, while younger
men with no influence are compelled to shoulder
their kits and run down to the tropics or to
China for years at a time. One of the gentle
men of the former class who has been most for
tunate in his details is Paymaster Albert W.
Bacon, who is stationed here at present. This
gentleman made his last trip TO sea in 1871, and
for the last thirteen years he has done little
besides drawing his pay. Bacon is one of the
first in the most fashionable club here
and is one of those to whom the officers of the
navy generally owe the reputation of being
of more accountata german than on the quarter
deck twas expected that when the hoard of
detail, built by Secretary Chandler for the pur-
pose of selecting officers for sea duty, went to
work, the officers who have so long had things all
their own way would have to take their chances
with the others. Although several vessels have
been placed in commission and ordered to sea
since the board was organized, Bacon has sue
ceeded in escaping transportation thus far, and
he will doubtless be found ION deck in Wash.

FoLGER VERSUS EvARTs.

The Latter Alleged to Have Deserted Mr..
Folger in the Hour of Need.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The attitude of the
Hon. William NJ Evarts toward the late Judge
Folger's candidacy for Governor of New York
promises to embarrass Mr. Evarts as much as
the Dick Harrington letter worried Mr. Blaine.
Mr.. Fo,gers friends are not satisfied with Mr..
Blaine's defeat. They propose to settle scores
also with other party leaders who actively or
passively contributed to defeat Mr.. Folger. 1t
has been limited for several days that letter
written by Mr.. Evarts would be made public on
the eve of the senatorial election. showing that
Mr.. Evarts had deserted Judge Folger in the
hour of need in manner so heartleSS as greatly
to wound Mr.. Folger's feelings. Mr.. Frank
Sperry, the private secretary of Judge Folger,
was asked regarding the existence of such let
ter. He replied:
''The published statements in reference to let
ters passing between Mr. Evarts and Judge
Folger have been made without my knowledge
OF connivance and without any authority from
me. have uniformly declined to converse upon
the subject of any letters which may have
passed between Mr.. Evarts and Judge Folger
during the campaign of 1892 have stated as
matter of fact within my recollection that in
the fall of 1882 Mr.. Evarts declined to make a
speech at public meeting in favor Of the Re-
publican State ticket, after being requested
so to do by the candidate for Governor. Mr..
Evarts will, without doubt admit the truth
of this statement Whether or not it should
affect his present canvass L express no
opinion"
Other of Mr.. Folgers friends say that enough
facts will be laid before members of the Leg:sla-
ture who supported him Loyalty in 1882 to put
quietus the Evarts's canvass.
Why" said one of them," one Of Evarts's ad-
mirers had the assurance to tell me in New York
the other day that Mr.. Evarts did not support
Folger because he believed the nomination was
tainted with fraud. 1t strikes me, coming from
member of Hayess Cabinet, that that is pretty

Germany's Proposed Purchase Of New Guinea
from Holland.
LONDON Jan. 4.-Poltical circles in London
are excited tonight over rum0r that Germany
has already opened negotiations with the gov
ernment Of the Netherlands for the purchase of
the Dutch possessions iu New Guinea. By this
means she would acquire five-sixths of the island
and render her position there practically unas-
sailable, the right Of acquisition by barter being
more generally accepted than that of forcible en-
try. The scheme is considered quite possible by
those we'll informed, for it is known that Holland
wants money badly and cares little for her un-
profitable New Guinea colony. Her rights
there, when properly sifted, are at best
very shadowy, and German assistance
in other regions, particularly in the Eastern seas
where she is in continual trouble with her colo
nists, would be much more useful to her. The
St James Gazette asserts to-day that Bismarck
has suggested the cession to Germany by Eng
land of the Island of Heligoand in return for
the withdrawal OF Germany's claims in New
Guinea. Heligoland is near the mouth of the
rivers ElDe and Weser, and is watering place
of note. This statement is considered exceed
ingly doubtful, however, but rumors of this kind
at least tend to show the present tension OF the
public mind. The report that Germany intended
to disregard the presence of the British flag re-
Gently unfurled at St Lucia bay, on the east
coast of Africa, is doubted by all prominent pol
itcians and the pIetensions Of Herr Luderitz
are considered as being unworthy of considera-
tiOn.
