CONFIDENCE GAME.
A Livingston Man Robbed Ut n. arly
Two Hundred.

The Helena Herald of yesterday has the
following: Last night, on board the regu-
lar west-bOund passenger train on the
Northern Pacific, a well dressed man who
was travelling with a friend This confederate)
seemed to be in great distress because his
Trend was pushing him for money which he
aid he had loaned him. Experienced trav-
elers at once put the two down as sharpers
and kept an eye on them. The scene trans
pired in the first class passenger day coach
On board the train between here and Garri-
son. Sharper No. 1, who worked his game
pretty well and was ably seconded by No.
=, who urged him continually for the money
took a seat beside q man from Livingston,
who said he worked in a saw mill there.
The Livingston duck was a rustic, verdant-
looking chap, which fact, no doubt, led to
his selection by the confederates. MOL
sharper explained the exigencies of his case,
representing that his companion, who was
TO get OH at Garrison, was pressing him
for money and must have it. At the same
time he displayed a check for 5000 on a
bank atSpokane Falls, which he offered to
discount for $16O if any one would cash
it for him. The Livingston greeny, think
ing he would play smart ind make $40 by
the turn OF his hand, took out his pocket
book and opened it. The sharper seized it
and counted out the money himself, after
which he returned it to the owner with the |
check. Before the train reached it's destina-
ion the victim discovered that he had
oeen robbed and at once sought out the
The robber, but the latter cody knatched
The check and tore it up, accusing the man
u robbing him. A fight ensued in which
he sharper got whipped, but he finally man.

CONFESSION.
An Alleged Montana Murderer Admits
His Guilt.

Our readers will remember the murder
committed near Garrison when Coles circus
visited Montana, and that the. perpetrator
of the deed had never been punished.
On last Sunday a tramp, who said his
name was Murphy, gave himself up to the
Minneapolis police, accusing himself OF muir
der. He was locked up and soon after
made the following statement to a Pioneer
Press reporter:
Il murdered q brakeman on the Utah &
Northern narrow gage last summer. We
left Ogden, and before We had got to Gar
rison I committed the murder. l was lying
down under u circus wagon, which was on
a platform car, when a brakeman came
along and wanted me to pay him for riding.
I told him l was one OF the circus men, but
he said that was too thin. and asked me for
money. l told him that l would not give
him any, and we began to quarrel. He
struck me or struck at ME several times,
and at one time came near pushing me off
the car. l told him that if he didn't leave
me alone I would shoot him. He made
another pass at me-. The train was going
at a good rate and l knew he would push
me off the train. When he came at me l
drew my revolver and fired, the ball tax
ing effect in his body. He then climbed
upon a box car and died. We went into
Garrison and thence into Bozeman, where
I escaped. I have been working around
Grand Forks, Ardock and Mimic, Dakota,
in the harvest fields. l know they were
after me ut Whapeton. Some time ago I
came to St. Paul, where l worked at odd
Jobs. A week g / came to Minneapolis
and have had a hard time to get along"
Murphy appeared like a guilty man whose
conscience had goaded him to confession.

SHOT TWICE.
A New York Stock Broker Killed In
His Office.

New YORK, August 31.-About 2 o'clock
this afternoon Tom Davis otherwise known
as William Warren, was shot and killed in
the room which he called his office ut No.
Lib Reade street, by a man who gives his
name as James I. Holland, and says he is
a Texan, and that he came here from Abb
lene, Kansas. Davis is a well-known sport
ing man, and occupied this room for several
years,conducting an alleged brokerage busi-
ness in mining and otherstocks The roomi is
only about six feet by ten, lighted by a
single window and is filthy in the extreme.
Davis, a brother OF the murdered man, was
present at the time OF the shooting and
tumbled down two flights of stairs in his
haste to get away. AS Holland was walk
ing rapidly away from the scene, he (Davis)
pointed him out to a policeman, who ar
rested him. Holland was reticent about
the matter merely asserting that the killing
was justitiable. 1t is supposed the shoot
ing grew out OF some transaction in stocks,
When searched at the station a heavy re-
volver, $1,000 in money and two gold
watches were found on him. In the right
hand OF the dead man was a fve-doliar bill.
and scattered about the floor were bonds
OF che value OF $500. In a desk were a
large quantity OF apparent securities,
Among them $2O,5OO in bonds of the city
OF M%attoon, Ills, signed by Thomas Blame,
supervisor, and W. O. Ellis, clerk. The
desk also contained blank shares of stock
OF the Wooda and Pioneer mining COM
panies and the lnsky's Mill and Mining !!
Company. Davis was shot twice, once
through the breast near the heart, and
once in the neck. Little or nothing is
known OF Holland. 1t is said that he has
used several names and came from Colo
RADIO. He is about 5 feet IL inches in
height, light complexion and well built. He
straight, l%ight-brown hair and a light
mustache.

v,wn We'll Known Thieves Arrested For
Stealing Powder.

Yesterday afternoon a telephone message
was received from the Lexington mine by
Sheriff Sullivan stating that his presence
was required in that vicinity. The sheriff.
accompanied by Deputy LcClalr, im1ie-
diately responded, and upon arriving on
the ground was told that two suspicious

A deal had been made, the consideration

T A%BSCONDER.
A Defau1ting Building Contractor Makes
His Exit From Butte.

Saturday added another to the already
too long list OF ~abscOnding and defaultine
contractors Of Butte. The man in point
! has been only a short time in this city, but
by undertaking had succeeded in obtaining
contracts for several small buildings, and
! lately quite a large one, the property of
Alderman Richard, which is being erected
at the corner Of Washington and Silver
streets. The man has been known here as
James johnson, but as he appears to have
been a bird OF passage, it is harly fair to
charge the legitimate owners of that
euphonious cognomen with the sins OF the
delinquent. From the best information OBJ
tainable it appears that johnson had con-
cluded to decamp Saturday night, and that
he owes in wages and small bills forlumber,
lime and other articles about $500. As he
failed to m~aterialize about the pay hour, a
number OF his creditors became suspicious
and began to make earnest inquiries after
their loss. They soon learned to their sor-
row that the man had decamped on foot
and taken the road to the Park. He had
fair start, but a corps OF interested credi-
tors was soon organized to follow him up,
which they did. johnson took a lonely
tramp to McKillip's Twelve-Mile House,
but not daring to enter the hotel. went into
camp in the brush near by. Later his pur-
suers, to the number OF eight, arrived at
the house, all armed and indignant. but
their appearance was SO hostile that Nc
Killip refused to let them enter and they,
too, were forced to make a night OF it in the
woods. In the morning the men made a
casual survey and concluded that they were
on the wrong trail. and as a consequence
they sorrowfully retraced their steps to
Butte. From his safe hiding ground John
son had watched the actions OF the party,
and after they were q safe distance away
thefellow came from his concealment and
without stopping at the hotel started on a
cured transportation with the driver and
went, as far as is known, unmolested on
his way to Red Rock. There were quite a
number of attachments issued against the
claims of johnson yesterday, but it is
hardly probable there is anything due him.

THE SWEET GRASS MINES.
Encouraging Reports From the New
Gold Excitement.

The Fort Benton Daily River Press OF
the 21st inst, publishes the following in re-
! gard to the Sweet Grass mines: A couple of
| gentlemen returned from the Sweet Grass
hills yesterday and are enthusiastic over
the outlook for the camp. One of the gen.
tlemen, who has mined in California, Ore
gon, Nevada and Idaho, say he has never
seen such prospects for the last twenty
years. His statements can be relied on.
Thu work which has been done thus far is
only preliminary to the opening up of
claims. Joseph Supernant has sunk a shaft
to bedrock on his claim and took out SIS
to the pan. The work has been done at
and near the place where the discovery was
made, and but little prospecting done any
where else. 1t is reported that discoveries
have been made in both the east and west
buttes.
From a letter just received we are per-
mitted to make the following extracts:
"Three claims are now open to bedrock,
viz: those of Main & Cary, Fred Derwent
and Hogan & Bolio, which pay from rs
cents to IS to the pan. Some trouble is
experienced IRON scarcity OF water, and
long drain bitches will be necessary. There
are now in the camp about seventy-five
miners, nearly all OF whom will winter here.
The claims all pay wages on the rim.
Miners are arriving every day. Another
large party arrived from Butte on the 10th
and also a party from Calgary. Jack
Faucet has a good claim. Other gulches
have not yet been prospected, but will be
as DON as claims in Discovery Gulch are
all taken up"
A gentleman informed our reporter to-
day that: from all appearances, from $780,
OOOto $4,000 can be taken from any
claim now being worked. 1t is said that
water is more plenty in the east and west
buttes than in the middle one, where opera
tions are now being conducted. The sur
face indications of the east butte appear
more favorable for the finding of gold than
either of the Others.
The news received Saturday and Sunday
has induced others to try their luck, and
parties will leave this week.

SENSIBLE
They Agree to Go t" Work and Arbitrate
Their Difficulties,

GALVESTON. August 31.-The strike on
the Gulf OF Colorado G. Santa Fe Railroad
reached a crises here to-day as it has re-
suited this evening in both sides agreeing to
arbitrate the matter. At noon Sheriff
Stevens with a posse committatm OF fifty
vi the leading citizens armed with Win
chester rifles and revolvers proceeded to
the round-house, where the strikers and
their supporters were congregated. Two
companies Of infantry and two twelve
pound cannons accompanied them. The
posse arriving at the roundhouse the Sheriff
and military entered the building and
turned out OF it three hundred Knights OF
Labor. Several times a conflict seemed
imminent, but the day was bloodless.
When the 2 O'Clock excursion train from
Houston arrived the strikers tool possess
sion OF the disabled engine before the posse
or military could prevent them. Great
excitement prevailed. Several thousand
persons were present. Two strikers were
arrested for interfering with the trains.
Finally at about 5o'clock a delayed freight
from Alvin station came, guarded by
twenty-five OF the Sheriff's posse. When
the trein was observed by the strikers they
gave vent to vOciferous cheers and a bloody
conflict seemed imminent. During this time
the leading members of the Knights OF
Labor were in consultation with the men,
bers OF the Santa Fe directory, who formed
a portion Of the Sheriff's posse. An agree
ment to arbitrate was finally reached.
Pending such arbitration the men will re-
work at once. As a consequence the
yards at present are a very busy scene
tonight, and trains are moving as fast as
they can be loaded.

DID HE MEAN II?
Doctor Laurin Nearly Killed by a Dose
Of Morphine.

Last night about 10 o'clock DR.. Laurin
who is well known as a physician in this
city, called upon DR.. Amsden and with
much t%repidation told him that he was
suffering severely from the effects of an &C.
cidental injection Of morphia and an at.
tempted antidote. As he stated the case,
DR.. Laurin, who is in the habit OF using the
drug, took an extra large injection last
night and noticing the effects, came to the
conclusion that it would, unless counter
acted, prove fatal. In order to avoid such
a result he O o an antidote in the shape of
beladona, and his nervous condition he
also used more of the latter than was
necessary. When the effects oil the two
poisons became thoroughly appreciable he
called upon DR.. Amsden and related the
facts as above stated. The Doctor, in
company with DR.. Labrie, who was in the
neighborhood, at once applied the usual
remedies. Hot coffee was given and the
walking and beating process resorted to
and for hours the unfortunate u man
was subjected to the heroic treatment.
DR.. Laurin is about 20 years of age, a
French Canadian by birth, and has been in
the Territory about three years. He is a
nephew OF J.. B. Laurin, the well-known
stock man near Virginia City, and up to a
very recent date vas a business partner of
DR.. Mitchell. Laurin is Il graduate of Vic
toria College, and but for the morphine
habit which he had contracted was looked
upon as a promising young man.
MUST BE ALL RIGHT.
At 3 a. m. DR.. Laurin had SO far re-
that he was able to walk alone,
which he did in the most energetic manner.
The chances are that his recovery is GER
tain.
