THROUGH THE Beast.
The Mysterious Shot that Frustrated
John Herman Yesterday Morning.

John Herman, a miner, was shot III the
back yesterday morning on East Park
street. He is now at the Sisters Hospital.
where the surgeons pronounce his wound
serious but not fatal. Joe" Mitchell and
Mamie Booth, two inmates Of a bagnio on
the t~horoughfare mentioned, were arrested
bail in the sum OF $500 each. There is an
interesting air OF mystery about the affair.
The wounded man ~ that about 3
O'Clock he was returning from the fire when
he was shot from behind, but he does not
know by whom or where the bullet came
from. When he felt the sting in his breast
he ran up the street toward Tom Malloy's
saloon, but when he reached the Lizzie
Block he was overcome by weakness and
feilto the sidewalk. He was taken into
Mcrarthy's new building and subsequently
to the Sisters. Hospital. The ball entered
near the left shoulder, passing through and
emerging ron the breast, about two inches
above the heart.
Shortly after the shootingC Chief OF Police
Ledford .weDt to No. 10 East Park street,
kept by "Joen Mitchell, and arrested that
person and her pianist, Mamie Booth, on
suspicion OF knowing something about the
shooting. The women we're taken before
Judge Mediation, who fixed their bail at
$500 each, which was furnished. Both the
defendants claim that they do not know
Herman or anything about the shooting,
and the evidence against them Consists only
of the testimony OF a man who says he saw
the shot fired from the door of their house.
The case against. them is a very weak one.
At a late hour last night Herman was
resting easily. During the day he com.
planned OF q numbness in his left arm, but
as the evening advanced the member re-
gained its feeling. His chances for recovery
are excellent.

Maguire's Next Attraction.

Next Monday evening the Grand Opera
House will open with E.. T. Stetson as the
star attraction in the melodramatic play
OF meek and Neck" The play is a very
strong one, possessing a highly sensational
flavor. A real changing is introduced in
one scene, and the construction OF the play
differs in this respect from all others Of its
kind. In most plays where a culprit is
condemned to be either shot or hanged he
is led off the stage and his execution is left
to the Imagination of the audience. In
"Neck and Neck" however, the ha 1ginR
from a gibbet occurs in presence OF the
audience.
Mr.. Stetson plays 'sNeek and Neck
'Kentuck," THE Marble Heart" ETC.,
during his engagement. He will be sup.
ported by Miss Harrie Ingham, Mr.: Fred
Ellerslie and Maguire's Grand O.,era House
Company, comprising Miss Nellie Donald,
Miss Belle Douglas, Miss Maude Bernard,
B. j. Murphy, Sam Charles, Fred Bernard

H MONTANA UNION.
What . Couple of Our Esteemed Con-
tempOraries Say About 1t.


The schedule Tor the operation OF trains
ON the Montana Union, between Helena
and Butte, has probably not been decided
upon yet, says the Helena Independent. It
is the opinion of gentlemen who are some
what acquainted with the contract between
the Northern and Union Pacific companies,
that a manaser, probably residingin Helena
and independent of either company, will
conduct the business of the road and will
represent n .ither OF the two companies
and that the running OF trains will not
make any attempt to accommodate one
road and not favor the other in equal de.
gree. 1t ' i'll be impossible to run trains on
the Montana Union to closely connect
with trains on both the Northern Pacific
and the Utah & Northern and as a com
promise, trains will probably be run with
little regard to either, but mostly to &C.
commodate the traffic between Helena and
Butte, which was the primary object of the
formation OF the Montana Union and the
widening OF the gauge between Garrison
and Butte.
The New Northwest treats the schedule of
the passenger train between Helena and
Butte on the Montana Union as a matter
OF some interest. To attach a car to the
regular trains between Helena and Garrison
would make all night service between Gar
rison and Butte. To run an independent
passenger train leaving Helena in the
morning and returning in the evening
would lay through passengers over one
night in Helena. and the connections would
be even worse if the train left Butte in the
morning. We understand that there is a
train running from st. Paul to jamestown,
Dakota, about twelve hours off the Atlantic
& Pacific express time. 1t is suggested by
that if this train was continued on
through to Butte it would cover the case
and give the Yellowstone towns that have
now only night trains q day train az well,
and that the travel, would be materially
For the western connection, q
mixed train from Butte to Garrison could
connect with the Pacific Express, and thus
be accommodated-if the railroad
will do it.

Chicago Fatal Fire.

CHICAGO, July Sat 4 o'clock this morn
ing a fire occurred in the five-story build
ing Nos. 1852 and 1854 South Clark street,
occupied on the first floor as a restaurant,
and on the four upper floors as a cheap
lodging house, known as the Benton Hotel.
Two OF the upper floors had been occupied
as a store-room, and had only recently
been fitted up with pine hunks, At the
time the fire occurred there were t~hirty-fve
inmates in the lodging rooms. five of whom
had a Aery narrow escape from the burn
ing building through the roof of the build
ing, while a number Of Others succeeded in
making their way out OF the building by
the regular stairways. Until the iremen
succeeded Ill making a Thorough search OF
the building it was feared that from ten to
twelve persons had lost their lives. Only
two persons are known to have persisted,
and they were burned beyond recognition.
They we're found IN the upper floor. hav-
ing evidently died from suffocation shortly
after leaving their hunks. The loss on the
building and contents will not exceed $780,
900, fully covered by insurance. Four fire
men we're seriously injured by falling glass.
The cause OF the fire is unknown.

''Tede," met with a chapter OF accidents
during the "hurrah." While horseback
riding Sunday he was thrown to the ground
and received a s%haken-up which compelled
him to nse Fl cane while marching to the

to attend the races and evince a lively in

to scraping the heavens. 'Tede" is badly
