In October, 1879. John DEM, u mer-
chant Of Helena Montana, was found
murdered In the cellar OF his store.
Three holes In his skull showed that the
man had been killed by hammer or u
hatchct. How the murder was com
inittcd and all matters connected with
it have remained mystery. although
detectives and officers worked on the
case for nearly year afterwards. Sew
eral persons were arrested but all were
acquitted. Last week Mrs. NJ. A. Eek
ert. a woman who has lived in Helena
eighteen years. died. and on her death
bed she confessed tn her nurse that she
was the person who had killed John
Dem. Mrs. Eckert was n slrewd busi
ness woman and when she left her hus-
band and friends in Indiana she came
to Helena. She opened photograph
gallery and made money, which she in
vested in real estate. so that at the time
of her death she had an income of 500
a month. The rear corner of her gal
lery abutted> against--thc building in
which Dem was murdered. but of all
suspected Mrs. Eckert was not among
the number. According To the story OF
Mrs. lIulmos, her nurse, Mrs. Eckert, u
few nights before her death said she
had secret which She must coniide.
Mrs. Eckort first made her nurse swear
secrecy In case Of her recovery, and
then said: II Killed john Denn,'' She
said that she went in the night to
Denn's back door. He was accustomed
to sleep over the store. She took bot
tie along to get some whisky. although
Dem was properly a groceryman.

liquor. and when he was STOPPING over

for all this precaution is that the govern

confiscate it if found by private individuals.

station, and much difficulty will be ex-
perienced in getting it to the cars, but by
using two or three burros and working at

He was about to be arrested when he
left the ranch, and that accounts for his
sudden departure. He had no permit from
the government to prospect in Mexico, and
as it was known that he had been doing so q
movement was set on foot to take him into
custody. He has written to the capital of
Conahuila for the necessary license, and has
written me that he will soon return to Sau-
ceda ranch"
In relating the above straight story, Mr..
Hill manifested great earnestness He is
man of intelligence and education, and if
he has been deceived, it has evidently been
by more than an ordinary amount of false
information and a rare confederation of
circumstances. He expects to leave soon
for Mexico, and will resume his place at
Sauceda. Should be find his treasure, he may
some day be seen enjoying its fruits in San
Francisco.

I The TRADE.
CLOTHING.

THE coming season promises to be pros
i porous one, notwithstanding il being a
campaign year and universally supposed to be
q bad one for business.
It may or may not be so, but there is one
thing we do know, and that is the season now
quickly passing has been more than good with
us, and we owe II entirely to the manner of con-
Quoting our business.
We donot trouble ourselves as to the ques,
ton of free trade or protection. We leave that
for wiser heads than ours But we have a little
platform of our own, in which you will find one
PET PLANK which we never change, and that
is THOUGHTFULNESS and CONSIDERATION
for the interest our customers and BIG BAR
GAINS for LITTLE MONEY. And how do we
accomplish il? you naturally ask. Our answer
is this. In the first place, our method of con-
Quoting business Is such that we cannot help
but succeed in our efforts to please and benefit
our customers In the second place, the pleas
ure to each and every customer to know that
they are not paying
