Tried to XIII am Editor.

Butte, Mont, June 23-An attempt
was made this afternoon by man named
Miller to murder O. 0. 1iegenfuss, editor
of the Miner, on the stairway leading to
his sanctum. Yesterday the Miner pub
lished an article stating that late the
previous night Judge Mediation was
summoned to room in Lizzie Block to
perform marriage ceremony, the
pagrties being Miss Miller and. Mr..
Harrington Ia writer), who had eloped
from Anaconda Tuesday morning, that
the father Of the girl came up on the
evening train and found them occupying
the same apartment in the building
named. place of questionable repute,and
that Harrington was compelled at the
muzzle of six-shooter to marry the
girl. Miller was very angry at the part
of the article questioning the girls
chastity, which he characterized as lie.
He hunted Zlegenfuss all day, and when
he met him in the stairway drew a
revolver. ziegenfuss seized the pistol
and pushed it up, and when Miller
fired, the bullet passed over Ziegenfuss'
shoulder and struck the ceiling.
ziegenfuss then grapplea his assallant
and both rolled down stairs together
Here Business Manager Guild took Q
hand and Miller was thrust out OF door.
The latter is now in Jail.

EMPTY PROMISES.
DiscOuraging Prospects for Dakota
Among the Statesmen,

DiscOuragfng Prospects for Dakota
Among the statesmen.
Washington, June 25-To-morrow will
be the territorial day again in the house,
in place of June IL. It is not at all
likely that anything will be done. The
chairman of the committee, as [ have
already told you, is apathetic, and takes
no interest in the affairs which concern
us; and which ought to concern him. At
least, such is tne opinion which has been
formed, Judging from his actions. Dur
ing the past week there has been great
deal of good work done for the Dawes
bill, and there is now probability that
it may be considered, some time next
winter. The only show for its passage
by this congress is to have day set
apart, early in December, and have it so
definitely settled that nothing can
interfere with il. at that time
and then there being no other pressing
business before the house, the bill may
pass. Promises have been made in pro-
fusion that snch an assignment shall be
made by the house, tomorrow. 1t is a
little thing to ask, and it is not unlikely
that the promises made will be carried
out. However, those who are interested
in the bill ueed not build up any ex-
horbltant hopes. The promises of con-
gressman, like the pledges of lovers, are
more often made to be broken, than to
be. kept. A congressional bird in the
hand is worth several million in the
bush. Mr.. Welborn has said that he
will endeavor to get some of the bills
which are stagnating in his committee
room, before the house tomorrow. He
has distinctly NOS said that he will call
up the Dawes bill. No
man was ever moro conser-
vativoly and automatically careful not
to promise anything than this Texas
statesman is to refrain from promising
anything for Dakota. No man
can say chat he has at any
time shown an excessive zeal for
the welfare of the people along
the Missouri river; although the nation
al legislature has placed him in a po-
sition where he should be, and Is, the
especial guardian of the rights and in.
terests of those people. He is shining
example of the difference between q
faithful guardian and jealous guardian
1t Is probably better thus. Some of oul
| alleged statesmen are more prolific in
promises, and yet as apathetic in action
as he. But Mr.. Welborn has never
shown any especial interest in Dakota
matters, and therefore has the merit OF
being consistently negative. There is
merit in having some merit, even if it be
demerit. However, it is hoped that he
will, although not committed TO do SO
call up the Dawes bill tomorrow, and
have something done with it, even if it
be nothing but to have day set for
next December. Nevertheless, Judging
from the past,it would be pretty safe to
give big odds that he will not mention
the matter at oil.
