Larabie's Mantua Falls Dead Under the
Wire.
BUTTE, July IA tragic feature Of the
S-year-old trotting race Thursday after
noon between Mantle's Ilton, Larabie's
Mantua and Pinkham's Robbins, was the
death of Larabie's animal in the third
head. In the first and second heats she
came out last, but in the third-doubtless
by exertion- she held the lead well down
to the stand, where she was passed by IL
ton, who won the heat. Mantua was
close up with the winner, however, but
just as she reached the wire she fell, and
on examination was found to be dead.
Her lungs were not in good condition,
and the exertion and excitement brought
the disease to a sudden crisis with the
result stated. She was VALUABLE animal,
three years old, by Piedmont, dam by
Forest Goldsmith. The heat was won by
Ilton, giving him the race in three straight
heats in 2:4O, 2:4S1M and 2:47. XII

CArTLE-Thursday's receipts of cattle
were much heavier than the dealers ex-
pected. The proportion Of native beef
cattle on sale today was larger than for
many days past, but the present low rates
and the pretty good condition Of outside
markets created a brisk shipping demand,
and competition between buyers was suf-
ficiently brisk to sustain former prices.
although some salesmen reported the
closing market weaker. The general
market, however, averaged about steady
and everything desirable changed hands.
Dressed beef men bought some 1,1OO-lb
Mexican cattle at "a and some 1,4OO-lb

quite a good many sales were made at
$6@8.25: oxeE averaging 1920 lbs. sold
at $4.25; most Of the shipping and export
cattle sold at 1925 and $3.50; receipts of
Texas cattle aggregated about 1000 head;

Louis Labelle, French Canadian

statements that Gordon was sheep
earring for s. F. Ralston Of Marysville
to Thursday last, when, the work be-
done, he was paid of and left for Cho-
ii. He was addicted to drinking, but
Eer got drunk while at his work. In

the 50 and returned to Richards sa-
IN. While there he appears to have
arreled with Labelle. No one seems
know how the quarrel began or what
WAS about. Gordon apparently took
tense at something and called on La
Bile to apologize. Whatever was said or
$ne, Gordon went out and procured a
stol. He tried to buy cartridges at
Iirshfeld's but he would not sell him
hy. He then went to Cohen's and bought
|ome, for which he paid 75 cents.
Gordon returned to Richards Is hotel and
kstol in hand called on Labelle to come
tut on the sidewalk. Labelle would not
bme out, and was retreating toward the
broom, where there was about dozen
|bople, when Gordon rushed in and fol-
wed him. When within four feet
Labelle he fired and shot
I'M in the back. The bullet pene-
hted his lungs and he fell forward,
Wing, 'sl'm shot.' Blood flowed freely
pm the wound; q low gurgle was heard
foceeding from the ruptured lungs and
few moments he was dead.
almost as soon as he fired the fatal
lot, Gordon let fall the revolver at the
et of Mr.. Hopkins and fled into the
eet. He was caught quickly and
pced in Jail until yesterday when
was brought befor Judge Garrett for
keliminary eyalnmation. The facts
|ere clear and the judge committed
Him for trial at the next term OF. the dis
rict court.
Gordon, who has made no statement,
'as hurried of to this city yesterday. He
rived in the railroad yards last evening
,as detained there until the Manitoba
rain went over when he was placed
board it and conveyed to jail at Benton.
The murder, which took place at about
$50 p. M, produced great commotion in
'hoteau. Nearly every one in town hur-
led to Richards, where Labelle lay still
b death. All who knew him spoke of
I'm as an inoffenslve man Of good cha
acter. He was about 25 years old. Cor
lon, who is well known among wool

bnsidered an industrious, Woodworking

THE RAILROAD.

The latest developments in railroad
matters fully settle the question Of
building to Lewiston. That point is the
best location for good interior city in
the great northwest. But the old moss
backs who in fest that place have long
retarded it's growth and opposed every
enterprise started within its limits.
The rich W heat belt and mining re-
sources adjacent TO Lewiston calls loud :
~ Tor development, and the various
competing raj lroad lines are now fully
ADVISED OF the Importance of the Clear
water basin and are now trembling with
iear that some other line may get there
first. The board of trade at Lewiston
are now waking up and at last realize
their situation, and committees to
secure right OF way, depot grounds and
10 solicit subscriptions for that purpose
are actively at work. Railroad contract
ors are very numerous in and about
Lewiston examining the ground to be
graded and the bridges to be built, the
price of grain, hay, vegetables etc.
Tho stockholders in the o. r.. & N.
Co., have now gone 10 New York to
oppose the joint lease of said company
to the U. p. and N. p Some surmise
that they will interview Jim Hill. and if
Ihe whole lease to the U. P, is declared
OH, they will Join the Manitoba Co., at
Butte city, or if the lease continues in
force with tho N. p, then to connect
with the Utah Northern at that point.

FURTHER PARTICULARS,
THE VERY LATEST.

An engineer of the Spokane and
Palouse branch of the Northern Pacific
railroad has been on the prairie for sew
eral days looking out route for the ex-
tension of that road from Uniontown to
Lewiston oia Steptoe canyon, and
thence up the Clearwater to Camas
prairie. 1t is probable that route will
be surveyed this summer by way of
Mason or Tom Beall creek, as the grades
up Cottonwood, and directly across
Craigs mountain are too heavy for sue
cessful railroad operation. The engi-
neer will return to Spokane Falls imme-
diately on the completion of his labors,
and report to headquarters, when a sur
vey party will be Immediately dis
patched to locate the route. In that
event it will be an assured fact that
Camas prairie will be connected with
the Northern Pacific railroad system.

lard said that the freight rates on wheat
to Portland should be practically the
same as to Puget sound. President
Adams, of the Union Pacific, also told
the same committee that, if the lease
was consumated, his company would
press the construction of branches in
the northwest to the extent of $lO000,-
10000. The o. r. & NJ, have also
negotiated a $2,000,OO0.OO loan for con-
