Last night during the performance OF
s'The Paymsster," Miss Beatrice Lieb who
plays the heroine whom the william OF the
play intends to drown by showing her on
. shelving rock into the river met with
a slight misfortune. The business OF
the scene came up to the climax
where Miss Lieb makes her dive, but In
out the receptacle for the water,
the stage hands removed the steps which
were conveniently placed Tor
Miss Lisb to make her dive, the onse
ouence was she went rightdownin into ten feet
deem of q river, and it was NO make
believe when the Paymaster made his
dive to rescue her. As usual at the end OF
the act Miss Lieb was called before the cur'
tain, but in this instance, was unable to re-
spond. as at that time there were two doc
tors and all the females OF the establish
ment trying to resuscitate the lady. Miss
Beatrice Lieb says most empbatically she
will not, after her engagement is up with
this company, sign . contract with any
manager who insists that q dive into ten
feet Of water one Of the essentials OF her
contract. -

An Organized Movement to Prevent h
Population from P~roselyting.
WHEELING, w. Va, August 20.-Mormon
elders have been doing effective missionary
work in this state, and the effects are being
felt in a serious way. So critical is the
situation in some sections that serious
trouble is brewing.
In Wheeling there is to be found 8 con-
~gregation with a church building Of their
own, in which regular services are held.
The converts made here have been mostly
women. Some of them have been exported
to Utah.
In the counties OF Ritchies, Calhoun,
Grant and Pendleton the elders, or mis-
sionaries as they call themselves, are work
ing in the boldest manner, and they have
made an astonishing number OF converts.
and scores OF families have been broken up
in consequence. Cases are numerous where
entire families have renounced their former
faith and united with the Mormon church.
More numerous, however, are the cases
where family ties have been broken, where
wives have deserted husbands and hus.
bands their wives to cast lots with the
Mormons.
Many young girls have been induced to
leave their homes and 60 to Utah.
The feeling is very bitter against them,
! and an organized movement to drive then
out is probable.

He will Languish in Jail for the Balance
of His Natural Life.
The Helena journal" says that Gov
ernor White has reprisved August John
son, who was to have been hanged next
Friday at Deer Lodge. His death sentence
is committed to imprisonment for life. The
reasons assigned for this reprieve are that
tina evidence at the trial did not justify a
verdict Of guilty OF murder in the first de-
gree; the governor considers that the evil
dence only warranted 6 verdict OF man
slaughter, or at most Of murder in the
second degree.
The murder occurred during a drunken
row., and there was no evidence OF pre-
meditation or malice. Judges DeWolfe and
Bach recommended the Communication, and
Others who have petitioned the governor
are the following: &. l.. Bonner, Owen
Emerson, j. G. Robinson, Lew Coleman
il, 8. Kelly, O. B. O'Bannon, Peter Lansing
3, W. Cole and George NJ. Carlton. John
SON had q splendid opportunity to escape
On one occasion, but refused to do 50, ane
has always been well behaved and tracta
bic while in prison.
For these reasons the governor has DC
cided that life imprisonment will be Q sum
GENTLY severe punishment for him, and ha'
granted the co~mmutation.

the Flathead Reservation.
MIssoULA, August 20.-Information il
received that the Indians are again menace
ing at Demersville. One white man is
killed. The Justice OF the peace at Demers-
vile teIegraphed Governor White for pro.
lection. He says the settlers are protect

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE TROUBLES.
Ravalli, August 10, special to the
Helena journal: At Demersville last
night an Indian knocked at Mr.. Roberts
door, demanding admittance and saying
be was pursued by bad Indians who wanted
to kill him. Roberts, suspecting it a trick
to get in, refused him admittancs.
Soon after Roberts heard two Indians
riding around his house. presumably look
ing for No. 1. One Of them broke in the
door and picked up a chair, makinga move
to strike Mrs. Roberts. Her son, about IA
years Of age, attempted to defend his
mother with q club. At the same time
Roberts aimed at the Indian with an old
revolver which missed fire. The Indian re-
treated and fired one at Roberts, missing
him.
The hotel was also visited by an Indian.
He wal found in the Kitchen and was elected.
As he passed the window he broke it in.
The remainder OF the night the men passed
in riding around town yelling and shooting.
This morning an Indian was found dead.
Roberts says he did not shoot him. It is
not known yet who committed the deed,
but it is thought the Indians themselves
may have shot the fellow and are now try.
ing to place the crime ut the door OF the
whites. ...s
Justice of the Peace Duncan, on petition
by citizens, wired Governor White for pro-
lection. For the pasttwo days the Indians
have been numerousaround Ravalli, appar-
entity in an irritable mood and on thelook-
out for trouble.
The trouble is the outcome OF that for
which the troops were called out about q
month ago. At that time there was no
serious difficulty, only an Indian wal killed
and some OF the young bucks have not got
over their resentment. They are very much
excited and threaten thelives and property
Of settlers. This place is fifty miles from q
railroad, and assistance cannot arrive Tor
some time. Owing to this the excitement
among the settlers is intense.

THE LONGEST FAST ON RECORD

An indianapolis Man Dies After Going
Over Two Months without Food.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 20.-Robert Mar
vel, after fasting 81 days, died this morn
ing.
His case is so extraordinary that it has
attracted attention not only Of the curious
public but Of the medical fraternity far and
near. He was IS years old June ID, at
which time he ate his last square meal.
For thirty-six days he took absolutely
nothing into his stomach. II
On the 3Sth day he bit of a piece OF pie
but did not eat it. On the seth day he
drank a small quantity Of milk and at ir-
regular periods he has continued to do so.
All told, he has drank not to exceed
n gallon OF milk in the sixty-seven days
that have elapsed since he began to fast.
The effect OF this is such as would be ex-
pected. The faster had reduced himself to
a living shadow. Evidently he suffered
long and severely. His big fast is the long
est on record, SO far as known.

lLissoula Republicans.

MIssouLA, Mont, August 20.-[Special
to The Miner.]-The Republican county
convention was held in the court house at
this place, this afternoon. Two sets OF
delegates from Missoula and Stevensyille
had been chosen at the primaries, but the
matter was amicably arranged in caucus.
The convention was comparatively har-
monious, but as one delegate explained it,
sit was all cut and dried beforehand" The
following is the ticket:
State Senator-M. E. Rutherford.
Representatives-A. u. Shelton, W: B.

Ups and M. 8. Blake.
County Commissioners-Henry Teweault
J. L. Humble aud ]. r. Latimer.

Superintendent of Schools-Fred Gil
bert.
Public aiministrator-R. W. Angevins,
Coroner-N. J. Meyers. .
County surveyor-L. o. Kennedy.
County attorney-F. G. Webster.
The position of district iudgeship was not
| supplied owing to the lack Of suitable ma
terial, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Hon. 8. G. Murray occupied 3 prominent
position in the room. The indications are,
after the Democrats haye nominated their
ticket the Republican central committee
will resort to the Democratic ranks for q
man to gil their vacancy.
The party here is very much divided and
to-day's work resulted in the success OF the
Kenney faction. There are some good men
on the ticket, but it is by NO means consid'
cred strong.
