Killed by q 0hlnaman.

At Butte, John Braden, died from the
effects Of an injury received Saturday
evening. He was passing through an
alley where Chlnaman was saving
wood. Braden had been drink ing, and
must have done some act upon the
Chinaman. His friends with him claim
he chucked the Chinaman under the
chin and said: "Hello, John! How
are you coming on with your wood.
sawing?" He then drew his saw, and
struck Braden on the back of his neck,
missing the vertebra and the jugular
vein. The blow caused great loss of
blood, and Braden was sent to the hes
pital, but the wound was not thought
dangerous. Braden died at 10 O'Clock
Sunday night. The theory that Braden
must have offered the Chinaman violence
is generally believed except by the
hoodlum element, to which Braden be-
lon ed. Fifty special police were sworn
in as it was apprehended that the tough
element may make reprlsals on the
Chinese residents of whom great many
are In the city. The Chinaman was not
found who did the deed, and it is
suspected he has been spirited away by
his friends and to be beyond reach.
Accurate description has been furnished
the officers surrounding the place. and
the sheriff7s officers are out in every
direction, with little hope of catching
him. Braden is young man about
twenty.three, unmarried, and miner
by occupation.

JEFF EDMONsON.
The Last Of the Gang Finally Found up
in Wyoming by Jim 0onley.

The Edmonson gang of horses thieves,
whose deparations and darker deeds
have covered period extending back
for two decades, in this territory, and
who were known in Missouri years ago
as horse thieves of unusual daring, have
all finally met the fate which meets all
such evil-doers. JEFF is the last to un-
dergo incarceration, having been captur-
cd by one of the Conley boys, Jim, at
Green River, Wyoming, last week.
These boys have long been terror to
the frontier and at one time had quiet a
following Of reckless, daring desperadoes
in their gang. The scenes of their out.
lawry was mostly at Meagher county,
where two of the brothers were arrested
some four years ago and sentenced to the
penitentiary for twelve and fourteen
years respectfully, One was afterwards
pardoned by the governor. Con. Muir
ply was hung at Helena, by vigilance
committee. Another one of the gang
was killed in Madison county while be.
ing arrested. JEFF was implicated in the
"hold up" Of Judge Wade in Jefferson
county, and from that time to this has
remained from the territory. Jim Con-
ley has been on his trail for some time
and finally located his man. The Edmon.
son gang have committed acts of depreda,
tion in Gallatin county and it is suppos.
ed by many that they got away with Mr.
Morrel's mare, some two years ago. The
mare was stolen at night from her stable
and all efforts to locate her have since
been futile.

FREE BRIDGE.

1t begins 10 look as if Gallatin county
was soon to have free bridge across the
West Gallatin. The petition of those
living in the vicinity of the present
bridge (Shed'O asking that new bridge
be built by the county four miles from
the old bridge, was received and the
commissioners will decide on a site
themselves. We were assured that the
new new site would in no way lengthen-
ed the distance between this point and
Red Bluff and have since been assure d
by others that 1t would considerably
lengthen 1t. So the best thing to be done
is just what the commissioners propose
to do, find out by personal examination.
A bridge at point not directly in line
with the shortest road to Red Bluff,
would be worse than useless to this
county, for obvious reasons. tits under
stood that Mr.. Shed, the proprietor Of
the present bridge, will build a new
one at once with the view of disposing
of it to the county, at price to be fixed
by appraisers. This will probably
be the outcome of the matter, and then
Gallatin will have done away with toll.
bridge which should have been done
several years ago.

GALVESTON, TEX, Dec. 9th, 1888.
DEAR EDrroR:-l have just read your
last issue, and it almost makes me
shiver to see mention of snow but am
sure it would be delightful TO take
sleigh ride, since We cannot sleigh ride
here, unless we do 60 on the sands of the
beach or the hard paved streets of the

Everything here is as green and fresh

blossoming flowers the lanes, parks and

interested in the deep water harbor,
The Commission has been here and
examined the location, but no definite
or favorably report has been made.
Ships that comes to this port heavy
loaded have to anchor about three miles
out in the bay entrance, and are there
relieved of their cargo, by small tug
boats. The cotton shipment from this
port is very great. 1t goes to New York,
Liverpool and other American and
foreign cities. Morally. Galveston com.
pares favorably with almost any other
city in the land. The vast population
of the low foreign element constitutes
the most immoral feature. The negro
population is quite large. They have
fine schools and good churches. The
Catholics here, as in many of the large
cities Of the south and west, have gained
the asce ndency.
Politically this section is democratic.

the reelection of Hon. R. @. Mills from
the 9th district. The prohibitionists as

WANT OFFICE.

Four years ago it was difficult for the
democrats to procure applicants for the
various offices in this part ofthe country
but the republicans are not confronted
by such state of affairs. The fact that
the republican party has been in power
for many years Is doubtless the cause Of
this, for there are now ct least ten ap.
plicants for every office in Bozeman.

Carter, whose endorsement it is said, is

In Helena it is understood. that there
is at least dezen applicants for each of

that all but.one will go to that city, Butte

Will Get There in Time.

Jefferson county managed at the late
election to muster up one prohibition vote
ont of total of 1888 votes cast. The
pr0hibitionists are evidently gaining
ground in old Jefferson. Two years ago
they didn't have single vote. If the
same ratio of increase is keep for ,261A
biennial campaigns. or 1928 years, the
country will go over to the prohibs.
This is not pleasant prospect for the
old timers over there.-River Press.

Cattle Market.

The receipts of cattle the past week
were 81 900 against 90 800 the week pre-.
vious, and $1,000 one year ago.
Prices for all kinds of cattle were
lower.
The supplies were extremely heavy,
and for the past month the channels have
been so full of meat and cattle that there
has been no possible chance for the
market to recover.
Just now there is rush of half fed
cattle, but there is no reason to believe
that this will not last, and that prices for
all kinds of cattle will mend before long.
The sales Of Montana cattle for the
week were:
Tingley Bros 81 Mont, 1248 lbs, So. .95.
Ferdon & Biddell, IS Mont, 1902 lbs,
$4.l5; 81 cows, liza, $S.75.

THE SQUIRREL LAW.

Now that the legislature is about to
re-assemble it IS proper for those who
have what they believe to be needed
legislation upon their minds to give ex-
preston thereto, 30 that it may not be
said by the legislators on their return
home that they were not asked to per-
form certain acts and that their failure
to do so, rests upon their constituents.
The CHRONICLE wishes to see the squirrel
bounty law re enacted. When it was
repealed by special session called for
that purpose, the citizens of the cities,
the miners and few others, gave ex-
preston 10 their delight and really be-
lieved that they had saved the territory
from financial ruin. So clanuorous was
this sentiment that the farmers and
stockmen, could but hold their peace and
wait future developments they knew
the squirrel would get there" again, to
use street expression, if he was given
half a chance, and their opinion has
been fully verified. The pest is fast
gaining ground and If there is nothing
done by our Legislators this year, in two
years from now the squirrels will be
as numerous as they ever were, destroy.
ing the hsrbage and growing crops over
q vast acreage Of Montsna's somewhat
limited agricultural land The expense of
forty Thousand dollars did more good in
this particular than it has ever done for
any other industry in the territory. 1t
almosts exterminated pest which had
grown to such proportions as to be con.
slant menace to. the farming enterprises
of Montana. The repeal of the law at
that time was worse than folly, as it
stopped the good work at point where
it had almost accomplished the total
destruction of the squirrels; the continu-
ance OF the law would have been mex
pensive and of great benefit TO agricul-
ture and stockgrowing. 1t is not too
late, however, at this time, to rectify the
matter, while failure to do 20 will cost
the territory great deal of money. The
