A STRANGLED HEATHEN.
Discovery Of Celestial Sheepherder
Hanging In His Cabin.


A couple OF Cinnamon arrived in the city
yesterday with the information that they
had discovered a compatriot hanging by
the neck i'll a cabin occupied by him about
three miles south Of Silver Bow. The news
was carried to Coroner Whitford, who,
after tedious search for the men, found
them in Chinatown and obtained all the in.
formation they had to impart in regard to
the affair. They said that the de.
fqnct Chinaman was sheepherder. EN-.
days ago he turned up missing. His con. :.
tinued absence made them uneasy, the y
said, and yesterday morning they repaire d
to his cabin, where they found him hangi ng
from one OF the rafters. He had been de ad
about three days, they thought, and aft or
satisfying themselves that he was beyond
earthly aid they came to the city and told
his brother, who is employed as a cook in
one OF the Main.street restaurants, OF the
accident. They did not know whether de.
ceased had committed suicide or had been
murdered. and it was with extreme diff.
Guilty that the Coroner obtained from them
the story given above.
The brother was interviewed last night,
and seemed to he but little troubled by the
news he had received. He told the Coroner
that he knew all about deceased's tempo
raj affairs, and was prepared to deiray the
expenses OF decent funeral. "But me NO
want him bellied in Butte" he added. IAN
want no zamination. Me know all about
him, and he is alice light" The Coroner
inquired If the deceased hal committed
suicide, but the cheerful cook refused to
throw any light on the mystery. Him
alice light" was all he would say.
The Coroner and the three Cinnamon will
depart this morning for the cabin in which
the body was found, where thorough in
vestigation of the mans death will be
made. The chances are about even be-
tween suicide and murder

Accident at Anaconda.

Yesterday morning a workman named
Nicholas Damon, stone mason by trade,
who was employed on the foundation OF
the new mill at Anaconda met with a
serious accident which will probably result
in the loss OF his left leg. 1t appears that
Damon was at his business setting stone
in the excavation when by some means not
learned huge boulder, weighing a ton or
more, was knocked from the bank above.
In its fall, it in some way struck the leg of
the man and completely crushed it from
the knee to the ankle. Suffering terrible
agony, he was at once released by his
fellow-workmen. and as soon as possible
brought to this city and placed in the
Sisters Hospital, where he is being cared
for. 1t is not thought possible that the
limb can be saved. Fortunately for the
unfornate man, he carried policy in the
Pacific Mutual Accident Company, OF which
C. H. Anderson & Co., OF this city, are
agents, that will pay him SIS per week
during his disability.

CalcAao, June 29.-Charles H. Fox, OF
Rockford, Illinois, has brought suit in
the Circuit Court against George w.
Noble for an accounting. Fox is the grand
son OF w. H. Price, who left this city for
California during the gold fever in 1849
and has never been heard from since.
When Price left he was the owner OF plan.
ing mill, property in this city, worth about
$5O, 900, which he left in care of his brother
in-law Noble, who was to conduct the
same in trust and pay of the indebtedness.
The complainant alleges that Noble was
poor when he assumed the management OF
the business and that it was always the
belief OF the Price family that the father
was foully dealt with. Fox gives it as his
belief that the death was caused through a
conspiracy in which Noble Walker and
Wheeler were implicated, and that as a
result Noble by further conspiracy man
aged to secure possession OF all the Price
estate. Noble died December 10, 1885.

tors.

Local Option In washington Territory.

PORTLAND, Ogn., June 29.-Yesterday
the question of local option was voted on
by the citizens OF Washington Territory.
Each precinct was to decide whether intox-
icating liquors should be sold within the
boundaries OF said precinct. In all cities
the measure was defeated by vote OF
about three to two. In the small cities
and towns the measure was carried by the
same proportionate vote. From the re-
turns thus far received it is believed that
local option has majority in the Terri
tory. The women did not take as much
interest in the election as was expected,
and in most places those who voted were
divided as to their sentiments as regard
prohibition Of the sale OF liquor.

TRAIN TELEGRAPHY.
A Wonderful Invention to BE Used ON
the Union Pacific.


the Union Pacific.
L. H. Kotry, the Assistant Superinten-
dent OF the Union Pacific telegraph system,
who represented that road in the recent
successful test OF telegraphing to and from
a moving train, made on the Milwaukee,
reuorts that the invention is q wonderful
enc and can be successfully operated on all
the roads. It will prove OF immense value
on certain roads or portions OF them. and
will probably be in use in short time.
The invention is quite simple. The appar-
atus placed on the train occupies q small
corner OF the car, and consists Of an ordi-
nary Morse key, two telephone receivers
(attached to the ears OF the operator some.
what after the manner Q! ear muffs) vi
brating reed, induction coil and few cells
of battery. Similar apparatus is used at
fixed stations. 1t does not require Especial
wire, but utilizes by means OF induction, or
electric sympathy, the ordinary telegraph
wires along the track without any
direct contect or connection Herewith,
and does not in the least interfere with
the regular telegrsphio business on the
wires. The ground" connection on the
train is made through the axle and the
wheel, thence wire is connected through
the apparatus to the metallic root At
stations, instead of the roof, a series OF
metallic plates are placed in close prox-
unity to the wire. In transmitting from
the train an electro magnet keeps the
vibrating reed in motion, making about
500 vibrations second, which produce
continuous musical sound and pass through
the induction coil. This operation charges
the metallic roof and the electric waves
thus produced jump to the wires and are
Reproduced in the telephones at the fixed
stations The Morse key then performs
it's functions by alternately breaking the
circuit aid Transforming the musical
sound into telegraphic characters. To
receive on train switch is turned of,
shutting of the vibrations and the same
method as above described is then en-
ployed at the fixed station to signal the
train; the current from the wires being
attracted by the metallic roof Of the car
and heard through the telephones in the
car.
