A Fight At BayhOrSe.

U. S. Attorney Hawley returned last
evening from Bayhorse and Challis. He
says that at Bayhorse, on Monday
evening last, between the hours of 10 and
IL, Johnny Burns shot and killed Bob
Stratham. AS near as rumor had the
trouble summed up, on Sunday night
Johnny and Bob were playing poker in
saloon, when an argument arose about an
ante. Bob told Burns he was son of a
brute and Johnny went out, heeled him.
self and came back; slapped Bob in the
face, and that was the last of it that
night, but at the hour named, Monday,
Bob walked in on Johnny armed with
revolver. Burns said he was not armed,
but nevertheless Bob took two shots at
Burns as he skipped out of the back door.
1t appears that Burns ran to go
into the next saloon, where he procured
a pistol and walked out in front on the
street, there to find Bob ready for him.
Then the shooting commenced, three or
four shots being fired, when Bob disap-
peared, running up narrow stairway be-
tween two houses and falling dead at the
top-shot through the heart. Johnny
Burns used to live in Haley in early
days, and in Salt Lake, and is we'll known
among Wood River sporting men.
Johnny will have to stand an examine
ton, but the opinion prevails that he will
not be bound over to appear before the
grand jury.-Inter-Iddh0 1st.

Drowned in Snake River.

We learn from Mr.. Harvey, just in from
Snake River, that Thomas Briggs, fore
man, working for Mike Hyde, was
drowned in Snake River Saturday after
noon, about half mile below Dorsey's
ferry. 1t seems that they had been swim
ming some cattle across the river and
Biggs rode in after fractions steer that
had reached small bar and refused to go
farther. After getting the animal on its
way he took direct route for the shore,
instead of returning the way he came.
His horse struck swimming water, became
unmanageable, and it is supposed struck
Bigge in some way, disabling him. At
any rate he sank from sight and was
drowned. His friends instituted search
for his body, but up to the time that our
informant left, on Sunday, it had not
been recovered.-Boise Statesman, 2Sth

The Butte Anti Chinese Meeting.


Last Wednesday night one of the
created labor demonstrations ever held
in the West took place in Butte, Montana,
under the auspices of the Knights of
Labor. Hugh bonires were kindled in
the court house yard, lighting up the
street for blocks in every direction. Then
the crowd commenced to gather from all
directions-principally men, but there
were also good many ladies present,
who doubtless felt an absorbing interest
in settlement of the question as to how
the Chinese were to be made go without
leaving them (the ladies' to do their own
washing, cooking and housework.
Further back from the street several
roofs were ascertained to be occupied by
Chinese spectators, who notwithstanding
their evident fear, seemed determined to
learn the worst at the earliest moment.
In some cases these persons were at
tracted for purely individual reasons, but
it is known that the Chinese were
organized, fearing violence, and that
their spies were not out of hearing of the
speakers voices and the inarticulate
murmur which at such gatherings as
this evidence the mood of the crowd.
The following resolutions were passed;
Resolued, While the knights OF Labor
determine to rid Butte of the Chinese
if such desirable result can be accom-
plished by lawful means - they are
emphatically opposed to violent measures,
and stand ready to aid the authorities in
suppressing any overt means which
might possibly be resorted to bv un-
organized enthusiasts.
RESOLVED, That we consider it fit and
proper to form in this city an anti
Chinese league in the belief that such can
be done without conflicting with the laws
of our country. Further,
RESOLVED, That the evil intended to be
remedied is great, and calls for united
action, fully confident that moral suasion
is all that is necessary to accomplish our
purpose. Our object is to discourage in
any shape whatever the employment of
Chinese, and we pledge our honor that
we will not employ or patronize directly,
nor will we knowingly patronize directly
or indirectly any person who does en-
ploy or patronize them
These resolutions were adopted I'M
animously
Chinatown was patroled by a large force
of special police who prevented any per-
sons hanging about the Chinese quarters
after dark. The Chinese generally re-
tired to their houses rather early and did
not show themselves again until morning.

Dynamite.
PowER. USES. TRADE

The manufacture Ofdynamite, though of CON-
paratively recent origin, has assumed the pro-
portions of an important industry, and large
amount of capital is invested in it. For blast
ing rocks and ores the new material posses
ses many advantages over guu-pOwder. Its
distinguishing properties are great power and
rapidity of action, and by means of it many
operations can be performed that were form
erly difficult or altogether impossible. BY an
agreement which was recently made by the
dynamite companies of the United Kingdom
and the continent The trade has acquired
something like new lease of life. A ruinous
competition has been stopped and return
has been made to remunerative rates.
Alfred Nobel was the inventor of dynamite
or giant powder. He had been using ordi-
nary powder in blasting operations in Swedish
quarries, and found the work slow in progress
sing. Acquainted with the nature of nitro ely
cerine, he conveyed the idea of soaking common
gunpowder with it before blasting. The effect
produced was very great, but this only led the
way to the greater nvention-dynamite-
finely pulverized slick, or silicious ashes, or
infusorisl earth saturated with about three
times its weight of nitro-glycerine, and con-
shutting a mass resembling damp Graham
flour. The power Of this compound can only
be estimated theoretically, but its uses are
manifold, and do not need to be specified.
Nobel's original invention of dynamite is sim
ply nitro glycerine held iu an absorbing BODY.
lycerine, in its fund state is an oil pro-
duced by the mixture Of nitric acid, sulphuric
acid and glycerine, and is liable to explosion
when transported in that state. Mr.. Nobel
changed this into powder, by which the nj
tro-glycerines is cushioned, thus making it
entirely safe in transportation or handling. As
a blasting agent,the fluid would be imprac-
ticable, as it could not be used in horizontal or
upward boreholes, except by putting it in tin
tubes or some such applicance. The strength
OF the dynamite or giant powder depends en-
tirely on the amount Of nitro-glycerine used,
and as it is very difficult matter TO test this,
some manufacturers take advantage of this,
using less, SO that the power of the article is
lessened.
