All for Love.

On Monday w. H. McMurtey, of this
county. made a desperate effort to take
the life of Widow Kate Allen, who lives
on the Madison, and is a daughter of
William Rea, of Gallatin county. Fail
ing in his attempt he shot himself dead.
It seems that he had persisted in trying
to WOO the lady to be his wife. He
made a last appeal on Monday, and be-
ing firmly refused drew his revolver,
pointed it and fired. Mrs. Allen raised
her hand just as he fired and the bullet
passed through the hand. He then
made further desperate efforts to take
her life, but she was defended by her
12-year-old son until she could flee to
safety at a neighbor's house. When
Mrs. Aliens house was visited by the
assistance that had been summoned,
McMurtey was found dead with at bull
let through his heart. These particu-
lars are derived from the Courier.

The CRur d'Alones.

George Haldorn returned on Saturday
last from trip through the Ceur d'Alene
country and visit to Butte. He went
from Thompson's Falls to Murrayville on
horseback, the only means of reaching the
camp, though wagon road is now built to
Beaver which connects with the steamboat
and stage route from Rathdrum. Mr..
Haldorn thinks the Ceur d'Alene district
is rich country and will eventually prove
such. The chief drawback at present is
lack of water. At the bottom of the
gulches where water is conveniently OBJ
tainable the diggings are very deep and
hard to work. The rich claims in the old
wash on the sides of the mountains can
only be worked by bringing water from
great distances at heavy expense. This
will be ultimately done but up to this
time none of these claims have been
worked except in the way of making them
ready to receive water. He thinks there
are now about 5000 people within a radi-
Us of Is miles Of Murrayville. That town
has ten or twelve hundred inhabitants and
is much prettier camp than might be
expected in the midst of those densely
timbered mountains. LOcomotiOn for
freight Or passengers all through the dis
trict is accomplished on horseback.

Big Purchase of Copper Land.

News has just been received in Montana
of the purchase, by French syndicate
composed of some of the Lexington Off
GERS and Baron Rethschild, of London, of
vast tract of copper country in southern
California, on the east side of the bay of
California, opposite Guaymas. The coun-
try embraced within the purchase is four
miles wide and fifteen miles long, and is
traversed longitudinally by three great
lodges carrying II per cent copper, which
occurs as carbonates and oxides, in a sand
stone formation. The company expects to
erect works capable of producing $4,000
tons of copper annually.

A Bal(l-Headed FlOater.

Journal, 1st: Last evening about 5
o'clock as Mr.. L. Nado was walking along
the banks of the Yellowstone near the
mouth of Tongue river he saw body of
man floating down the Yellowstone about
twenty yards from the shore. He had
no way of securing the body, but says
that it was dressed in dark clothes and
that the head was bald. The body was
greatly swollen and had the appearance OF
having been in the river some time.

blown up. Several other attempts to des

n. B. Harwood, who failed for nearly
two millions in Minneapolis few years
ago, went to Florida and started an orange
grove and lately died there, had his life
insured for $225,OOO, all but $25, 900 ot
which was put on last fall. There is some
mystery about the cause of his death and
the companies are investigating to find out
if, as limited, he committed suicide, which
would invalidate the insurance.

Disposing of Their Dead.

A travelling correspondent Of the Glen
dive Independent, describing visit to tho
Wolf Point Indian encampment, says:
s'The next morning we walked around the
camp and came to a number OF square
boxes piled on top of each other. On in
quiry we learned that they were used as
coffins, and that each one contained dead
Indian. Some of the piles had as many
as six boxes, each family having their own
pile. The Yanktons bury all their dead
this way, and for nearly mile in direct
line may be seen these burial boxes.

Publication Notes.

Daniel Searles, late editor of the Butte
Miner, and G. G. Bradshaw have begun
collecting data for work they intend to
publish to lie called Biographical Sketch
es and Portrait Gallery of Pioneer, Emil
nent and Self-Made Men of Montana -
The name is sufficiently extensive to ex-
plain the scope of the work. When COM
plete according to the prospectus it will
be complete history of early Montana
life and of the pioneers who paved the
way for her present condition. Mr.. Searles
is an elegant, classical writer and is we'll
fitted for weaving the scattered thread of
our territorial history into beautiful
fabric.
In the June Century appears Theodore
Roosvelt's account of his hunting cxpedi-
ton after grizzly bears in the Big Horn
mountains last autumn. There is nothing
very taking about Theolore's style and q
occasional display of egotism slightly
mars the interest of the article. Three
full page engravings which accompany
the description are very fine. An article
on Orchids by Mrs. Herrick is one of the
most interesting magazine papers that We
have seen in long while. "How shall
we help the Negro by Bishop Dudley Of
Kentucky, "The Three Herschels' and
Smalley's second paper on the New Or
leans Exposition are leading articles. Pa

Slipped the Quarantine.

the cattle brought by VIM. Fly of Gala
tin county from Missouri, having been
slipped past the quarantine. They were
stopped by virtue of the governors quar-
antine proclamation, at Sentinel Butte, but
after some delay, Fly drove them as far as
Mingusville where he shipped them
through to Springdale. The law will no
doubt be enforced against Mr. Fly to the
utmost extent"
The above is from the Billings Gazette
and presumably reflects the outraged (?)
feelings of the injured stockmen. We
have sufficient confidence in Mr.. Fly's dis
cretion to believe that he has advised him
self of non-liability before bringing his
cattle into the territory. They were
healthy when halted ON the borders of the
territory and if we have been rightly in
formed they were not inspected by the
veterinarian but merely quarantined on
suspicion. At the time this was done Mr..
Fly would have brought his cattle to their
destination if the Northern Pacific had
dared to brave the quarantine, and in driv-
ing them on he has carried out his first
impulse as matured plan. 1t is high
time that the quarantine law was tested
anyway.

On Saturday there arrived at the Gilman
hotel in this city, says the Portland News,
a plainly or rather poorly dressed, cadav-
erous looking man, abaut so years of age,
who took dollar room. Soon thereafter
it was whispered that the new arrival was
Thomas Cruise, the man who had sold the
Drum Lummon mine, in Montana, for
81, 100000. Half of this amount is said
to be deposited in the First National bank
in this city, and the other in a Montana
bank. It was noticed during the million
aires presence In the house that he spent
no money that he could possibly avoid.
On Sunday he asked where the Catholic
church was, and instead of hiring car
riage and travelling as becomes man of
such wealth, he trudged on foot to the
church and back. On Tuesday he left for
his home in Montana.

An Earthquake In India.

Reports from India tell of fearful
earthquake which visited the vale of CASH
mere in the mountain country OF northern
India. The shocks began on Sunday and
continued at intervals of ten minutes for
several days. A portion of the city of
Seringur, the chief city, was demolished.
The barracks IN which several hundred
soldiers were quartered collapsed so sud-
denly that fifty were killed and fully 100
injured. Owing to the interruption of
telegraphic communication the full extent
OF the damage done is not known but calls
for help for the destitute population, many
of whom have been injured, are already
sent out.
The Mohammedan mosque, in the
little town of Sopur, twenty-miles north
of Serinagur, was demolished and 200
persons killed.

DEAR MoSIToB.-Your editorial ON the
cellarway last week hit the nail on the
head The curb line on East avenue
should be Strengthened out, whether the
cellarway is removed or not, and it ought
to nave been done long ago. The public
might then have had a good sidewalk at
the corner, and if the Borough Council
wanted to proceed for the cellarway in adj
dition, there vas nothing to hinder. The
people are beginning TO see through the
plans and understand the motives of those
members of the Council who are pushing
this litigation at the expense of the public
and without any real necessity to excuse
thea. 1t may be fun for them. but tie
taxpayers won't find it fun when the bills
come in. This spending hundreds of dol
lars in Law to gain a few feet Of sidewalk
which might nave been had for compare
lively nothing, and had loLg ago, don't
pay anybody but the lawyers, and the lat
ter gentry are probably feeling good over
it. The bull-headed policy Of our Council,
carried out from personal spite. will work
evil. i Council with genuine regard for
the public's welfare would have seen and
taken tie way out of the trouble long
ago. The public can't afford to have its
business conducted on any such principle.
Yours, CANDoR.

OF Joel Coleman, living near Shirley, this
county, a young man about 81, saw a rah-
bit sitting near the barn on his fathers
promises, and procuring his gun, a single
barrelled ~breeeh-loader, shot the animal.
He put another load into the gun, and
handed it to his brother Frank, who was
took the weapon, which was at half-ceek,
the lock caught in his coat and the load
was discharged, entering Albert's leg,
near the groin and inflicting a very serious
wound. Dir. Paulding, of Daretown, was
summoned and dressed the wound, and
pronounced the young man to be in a
dangerous condition.
