Il TOTAL WRECK.
Runaway, Horse Killed. Buggy Smashed
and Harness Destroyed.


Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock Z.
NJ. Carr purcl asei from Mr. BaiIy, Of Vir-
ginia City. a handsome span of sorrel
horses. Prior to the deal he drove the ami
mails around town. introduced them Il the
wood saw, the motor and other articles
that would be liable t,l brighten them, but
they paid no attention whatever TO the
b~ugbears, and proved themsol es quiet,
gentle drives. Among the orders for teams
at the stable was one for a gentleman Of
Centeryille. who vas about to be married.
He called at the stable at o'clock and was
given the new team, with which hestarted
out in good spirits. An hourl later word was
brought.to the barn that there had been
q runaway and Mr.. Carr started out to
look the matter up he found it too true,
for when he reached the gulch his side of
Centerville he found q complete wreck. The
buggy was upset and sc completely broken
that it cannot be repaired, the harne s was
in shreds and worse than all one of the
animals was laying on the ground suffering
with a fracture OF the leg, the break being
SO bad that he was at once shot to relieve
him OF pain. How the accident occurred
Mr.. Carr is not as yet advised, but no one
in the buggy and consequently no one
hurt. It is supposed thehorses became
frightened in some way while in Centerville
and ran, leaving the road and winding up
in the gulch which accounts for the terrible
wreck.

HO FOR LIVINGSTON.
The Advance Guard of the silver Bow
Delegation to Make a Start To-day.

The Advance Guard of the silver Bow
Delegation to Make a Start To-day.
This morning the advance guard of the
Silver Bow County delegation to the Liv-
~ingston Convention will take up the line of
march. The select body is composed of
Gen. Charles s. Warren, Col. George w.
Irwin Ii. and Capt. L. F. Wyman. 1t will
be noticed that all three of the gentlemen
are military men, and the presumption is
they go to look over the field and arrange
to deliver the vote of the rank and file,
which will not startfrom Butte until Friday
evening. All three of the gentlemen are
pretty good schemers when it comes to
working a political convention. and for all
the good they can do the remainder of the
delegation may as well hand them proxies
and remain at home. 1t is a useless trip to
make for no other reason Than to vote as
you are told to vote by the bosses.
Chairman McCutcheon has issued the fol.
lowing relative to railroad rates to the con-
vention:
Your delegates will pay full FIRE over the
Montana Union and get a cet tihcate from
the secretary of the convention, emitting
them to one.ffth fare on return. At Garri-
son they will pay full fare to Livingston,
and get a receipt to be signed by the secre-
tary of the convention emitting them to
one-hfth fare on return over the Northern
Pacific"

IT was thoughtful of Russia to invite
the other great powers of Europe to wit
ness her military maneuvres. The Car
evidently is not ashamed of his army nor
afraid that their fighting quality and
strength will not be fully measured by
the enemy. Some very delicate diplo-
macy is disclosed by the invitation.

At the Hermitaee.

The gentlemen OF the Hermitage gave
what might be called an impromptu recep-
ton Tuesday evening in honor OF Mr..
Lonsdale of Portland, who is 0 visiting
this city, there being about thirty guests
present. Mr.. Lonsdale is the possessor OF
a magnificent baritone voice, and among
those who greeted him were the leading
vocalists OF Butte. A number OF songs
were rendered by those present, including
Mr.. Lonsdale, and at a late hour the COM
pany separated after having spent a most
delightful evening.

Proceedings observation-disclosures Cannot
Handle Beer ReckIessly.
Ia the District Court yesterday the
following business was transacted
Walter Searcy, who had been convicted
OF burglary, was sentenced to two years
imprisonment and costs. A nolle prossequi
was entered in the case of. petit
larceney for which Searcy had been in
dicted. Harry Steward. who had been in
dicted in three cases of forgery, and had
entered a plea OF not guilty, asked leave to
withdraw the plea and enter one of guilty,
this was granted and he was sentenced to
one year imprisonment in each case.
STILL ABSENT.
William McDermott, who had been ar
rested the day previous, on an attachment
writ had been served TO show cause why he
should not be punished for said contempt,
was called for but failed to respond, al
though the attachment required him to
report at 9 O'Clock. As there was nc

The case of John Hill for a~ssaulting Mrs.
Emma Cartwright with a hammer was
called and a jury e~mpannelled. District
Attorney DeWittappearedfort the Territory
and W. |. Lippincott for the defense. The
testimony was to the effect that Hill keeps
a blacksmith shop somewhere near Wood

absence Mr.. and Mrs. Cartwright
and some Others drove up to his place,
tapped a kego OF beer and proceeded to drink
it. While they were thus engaged Hillarrived
and was invited to take d glass, which he
declined. This evidently made Mrs. G.
and by way OF showing it she threw
a glass OF the stuff in the face Of Hill. He
evidently did not appreciate the treatment, |
and not being meek and lowly in spirit he
picked up a hammer and proceeded to chas-
his assailant in fairly good shape. The
case was gwen to the jury, and the twelve
good men and true must have concluded
that the woman had no right to waste a |

she received, for they returned a verdict

Accident at the High Ore.

Last night an accident occurred at the
High Ore mine, the immediate results OF
which were remarkable, and the ultimate
results OF which may be serious if not
fatal. James Cassidy, a well known miner
OF Butte and an old employee OF the COM
pany was. with his partner, engaged in
lifting a piece OF timber, when he wrenched
his back and in a second fell limp and help
less to the ground. He was at once taken
in charge and a conveyance procured in
which he was removed to the Sisters hos
pital for treatment.

OUR esteemed evening contemporary
Is unkind to repudiate the party pater-
nifty of Special Agent HALEY. It seeks
to show that he is the official child by
adoption of old Sparks, who has more
sins to answer for already by blindly fol-
lowing Schurz's policy than he can atone
for through all eternity.

A CERTIFIED copy Of the county Repub-
lican resolutions will be taken to Liy-

Territorial convention. We hope that
old Sparks and other friends Of the fam
lily will also be furnished with a copy
and that the Territorial historical society
will not be overlooked in the general
1t will be interesting for
reference after the campaign is over, and
another Democratic delegate is in Wash

THOSE resolutions of the city Republi-
can convention make mighty good

esteemed evening contemporary. The
rest OF the space might be taken up with
the code of principles enunciated by it's
chief candidate, thereby giving the late
VIM. Andrew Jackson Sparks a much
needed rest.

spacious grounds have not been more
generally utilized for the purposes to
which they have been dedicated. We
note several pictures of men who are
still represented as living, who must
have been overlooked by the undertakers.
We fear that this class of erstwhile en-
terprising business men are not equal to
the emergency. For instance, the un-
dertakers Of Chicago would have had
those old stiffs disposed Of long ago.
