HIS SAD FATE.
Young John Mclean Killed by
the Accidental Discharge
Of His Rife.
Remarkable Circumstances Un-
der which the Tragedy was En-
acted at the Fallon Ranch.
Found Dead.

Found Dead.
The facts concerning the deaht ol
Jno. Mclean were yesterday com
municated to the JOURNAL by the
brother Of the deceased and are as fol-
lows:
Jshn and his brother, X. Mclean,
were engaged In the sheep business
near Terry and on the afternoon OF
Thursday, the 10th. the latter had left
John with the d Ick and come in to
the ranch where John was expected
to arrive at about six o'clock. His
absence at o'clock Induced his broth.
er and boy who was ct the ranch to
saddle thei. horses and 90 on a search
after the missing man. The sheep
were found at the corral about a mile
from the ranch but John was not with
them, and from the manner In which
they were disposed for the night 1t
was evident that they had come to the
corral alone. The search was then
continued and about ons-half a mile
from the corral the body of John Nc
Lean was found lying On his back
With his feet resting against rotten
cotton wood stump. A .hssty exami-
nation disclosed the fact that he was
dead and that there was blood under
him attesting the existence Of "a wound.
He was known to have bad q rife
with him, a. wild cats had been seen
in the neighborhood and he had taken
the gun with him to kill them II an
opportunity offered. The gun, how
ever. was not to be found at first and
II was not until search was directed to
the hollow stump that 1t was discov-
cred sunk TO the muzzle In the stump
which was rotten and hollow some
five feet down. A later examin alton
Of the body disclosed a gun shot
wound entering on the right side at
the short.ribs aud passing upward
aud packard to the point Of exit at the
back Of the neck. The nature OF the
wound and the position Of the gun
when found form the only clue to the
circumstances which led to the death
Of the deceased. From these IL is pre-
sumed by his brother that he sat down
TO rest near the stump, and to keep
his gun dry deposited 1t inside the
stump where II sunk to the muzzle-
and when drawing 1t outstanding
over 1t with the gun by the barrel and
drawing upward, the hammer caught
on some projection inside the stump
and discharged the gun, the shot taxi
ing effect as above described. Death
must have been miscellaneous, as the
body was found where 1t fell with the
feet touching the stump. and the gun
had fallen back into the stump wehn
he released his grasp. His brother
thinks the accident happened
about 8 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon
as the extremeties were frozen wheI
the body was found.
Deceased was about q years old and
a native Of County Ross. Scotland
where he has q father and brother
He had been in this country about
two years and half, having come d.
rectly from Scotland here. The re-
mains were brought to Terry on Mon
day and to Miles City on Monday
night. The funeral will take place
this morning at half past eleven, the
iuterment being In the Miles City

ANACoNDAs ON SHIPBoARD Two IN
mense anacondas have been discovered on
the barkentine Emma R. Smith, now dis
charging cargo Of phosphate rock at South
Camden, n. ]. Each measures eyer Is feet,
and they are said to be not only tee largest
but the finest specimens ever seen. It's not
known how the snakes came on board, but
they are supposed to have reached the yes
sells rigging from dense overhaGging topical
foliage while she Was lying in the harbor OF
Para, Brazil, which is conceded TO be the
home of the anaconda and the boa constrc-
tor. The serpents have thus far shown DO
attempt TO interfere with the crew or those
working ON the vessel, and otte1 remain IN
a camotose state for week at time. When
they become hungry plenty oifood has to be
quickly procured, live chicken or stray
cat being esteemed the greatest luxury oy
them. The most remarkable occurrence has
been the sudden Disappearance o. he army
of rats which had multiplied in The Vessefs
hold for several years past. Several times
during the passage the snakes were gwen
the liberty to investigate the between decks
and lower hold 10 search OF the rodents, and
on each occasion they were SD h5srsl'y re-
warded that they we're unable to move.
Their stomaches had been scretc hed 10 the
fullest tension. Many visitors, among them
persons Interested III science, have visited
the vessel to see the curiosities.
