much in his favor, and through the
influence of a friend, Mr.. Mckinney,
now of this city, he was pardoned.
When not under the influence of

Fatal Accident at Marent.

Prom the Missoula Times of
Wednesday it is learned that c. E.
Healey, foreman of the construction
force at Marent t,estle, met with a
terrible and fatal accident shortly be-
fore noon Friday. A portion OF the
track and truss OF the old trestle was
Icing removed to make place for the
final work on the new iron bridge
when the mishap occurred. Mr..
Healy jumped over the guard rail,
some ten inches high, to throw off an
old tie, but in so doing slipped and
fell. AS he fell he whlrled around
and tried to catch an iron bolt pre-
jec.iGg from the guard rail, but miss
ed. Five or six feet below was a
projecting iron, which be next grasp
ed with his right hand, but was lot
able to maintain his hold, and
fell to the bottom of the
gulch, a distance of over 200 feet.
Indescribable as it may seem, he Was
not badly mangled, nor even instant
ly killed, but lived some eight min
utes. His scalp was torn loose, his
back broken, and his left shoulder
and four of his ribs were broken.
Mr.. Healy was somewhat careless
and reckless himself, but was very
careful of his men. He was about
thirty years of age, a resident Of Illi-
nois, and leaves a wife and child,

DISTRICT COURT ADJ0UR NED.
A Resume of the LabOrS of This Term
Of Court.

The past term of the District Court
has been n of the most important
ever held in Montana. Court con-
vened Monday, March 9th, and was
continued from day to day until the
arrival of Judge Galbraith, on Fri
day, March 18th, when work began
in earnest. The Grand Jury was in
session 10 days, brought in % indict-
ments, Investigated over 80 cases, and
made one Of the most searching,
thorough examinations eve made
by a Grand Jury in Silver Bow
county. Five persons were convict
ed and sent to the Penitentjary-one
far arson, three years; one for horse
stealing, four years; n for grand
larceny, one year; one for grand lar
ceny, two and a half years; one for
assault with intent to kill, two years.
Two were COL victed of assault and
battery, and fined $50 and costs; two
of assault, one fined $50 and costs and
tue other $40 and costs; three acquit-
ted; and the other causes of a crim-
ina. character, when defendants were
on bail, were continued on account
of the absence of material witnesses
for the defense. Over eighty civil
causes were disposed of. During the
session Judge Galbraith has held
night sessions, and Judge Galbraith
and District Attorney Pemberton are
deserving of the thanks of all good
citizens for having so faithfully per-
formed their respective duties. The
county Jail is now without an occu-
pant, except those under sentence.

An old mad who lived in Missoula
several years and was famiIiarly
known as Pussian John, fell into the
Bitter Root river between Bass Bros.
and Buckhouse's saw mills while
fishing on Sunday morning He
caught on some bushes and yelled for
help probably for an hour. W. f.
Bass and Others thought some one
was driving cattle and paid little or
no attention to the yelling. John
Buckhouse happen d to pass on
horseback, and went down to the
bank and found the old man still
clingin. to the bushes. He pulled
him out and ran to the mill for help,
as the old man vas so thoroughly
chilled he could not walk. AS he was
being carried to the mill he suddenly
expired, death resulting from chi!ls.
W. are informed he was oyer sixty
years of age. 1t is thought bis line
became tangled in the bushes, when

FIRE,
A Brief Blaze In a Main.Street
Store.

Yester lay morning about $50
o'clock a fire was seen issuing from
the roof Of the Boston Store, No. 9,
on the east side of Main street above
Granite. BY the timely assistance
of neighbors and the liberal use of
the fire extlnguisher, which was for
tunately at hand, the flames were
put out without the assistance of the
Fire Department. Mr.. Leger, a
former clerk OF the store, was the
first on the ground, and did active
service by. getting on the roof and
dashing water IN the fire until ex-
tinguished. The fire, it is supposed,
caught from sparks that had fallen
on the roof, and, igniting there, had
spread until it reached the lining in
side, when it was discovered. Con-
siderable damage was done to the
stock of dry goods in the store frcm
the drenching 1T received. Mr.. M.
E. Mayer. proprietor of the store, K
presses his sincere thanks for the.
valuable assistance rendered by
neighbors.

A VICIOUS HORSE.
A Blacksmith Badly Injured While
Shooting a Horse.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock
James Bryan, a well-known black
smith ON Park street, was severely
hur' by being kicked by a horse he
was engaged in sboeiug. The acct
dent occurred in Mr., Bryan's shop,
opposite the Amphitheatre. While
s1oeing the horse on the hind feet
he had occasion to approach the ami
NAL from behind, and, lifting the
hoof he was at work on, the horse
suddenly pulled the foot away from
him. in doing which Mr.. Bryan was
thrown down, when the vicious
brute let fly at the PROSTATE man sew
eral times with both front and hind
feet. The door of Bryan's shop being
open, the incident was witnessed by
several persons on the street, who ran
to his assistance. A crowd gathered,
and the injured man was taken to
his home on Washington street. DR..
WhitfOrd was Immediately called,
and dressed the wounds. 1t was
found that Nh. Bryan had been
kicked in several places, the most
serious of which was a severe cash
r and to the back of his right eye.
The iron shoe of the animal had cut
through the temple. bJne and almost
permeated the brain. His left eye
was completely closed. Although
badly hurt about the head, no con-
cussion resulted therefrom. A severe
and painful bruise of the left hip and
left hand, was also sustained. DR..
Whitford stated that although the
wounds were of a serious nature, no
fears were entertained Of their re-
sulting fatally to the patient. MI.
Bryan has been detained at his house
for some time past by the illness of
his only daughter, who was stricken
down with pneumonia, and had only
returned to his work, when
the accident happened.

Ons has at last come to a head and the
Boston strong boy has awakened tn a
realization that something must be
done, or he will be done for. Accord

of June. Ryan asserts that not only
will he fight to a finish, here but that
ne was willing to 60 anywhere with
John L.. and that he only wants ten
weeks in which to train for the
mill" Owing to the recent pas
sage OF the law against prize fighting
in Montana, much conjecture is
made as to the probability CT the
fight coming off here. It has been
asserted that in the event the author
tiles here should take steps TO inter-
fere in the tight it would be no diff
ncul matter to charter a
traln and run across the
line into Idaho and have the combat
there. Sullivan has for the past two
months publicly announced that he
would sail for England and Australia
on May 1st, but since articles have
been signed to fight here, he will, no
doubt, go into training to vanquish
his old antagonist. It has also been
asserted by parties who claim to be
posted that the prize-fighting law
can be overcome by a little legal tech
nicality, without much trouble. In
any event Butte will be visited by
hundreds of the sporting fraternity
