law was raised ir the csse Of the STATE
vs.. Wininger and Allen, accused If
poisoning Henry Schriver on Oct. 3rd,
1889. Law, er. Bickiori and Marshall.
for the defense, filed demurrer TO the
indictment on the ground that as the
crime had been committed before the
vote had been taken on the constitu-
tiQn and before the presidents proclf-
nation admitting Montana as state
was issued, therefore the old law re-
quiring grand jury Of Is, making IL
necessary for indictment, was in
effect, aud that the finding Of an in
dictment by the present grand jury
composed of I, making five necc Sssry
to indlct was void. rs 1t deprived the
defendants of the rights granted TO
them by the old law during which
time the said crime was committed.
The demurrer was overruled, and the
case set for hearing on the 26th. The

BISON WILLIAM
The Subject nf Anxiety on the Part Of New
York Capitalists.

NEW YORK, Dec. l4,-The Evening
Sun says: There il a syndicate Of
men in this city who would be pleased
to see Buffalo Bill and the accounts Of
the wild west show, which has been
one Of the attractions at the Paris ex.
position. 1t is ALLEGED that about q
year ago Buffalo Bill old T. c. Craw.
ford appeared on Wall street to organ
ize syndicate 10 float The show across
the ocean. They wanted $3.50, 900. and
their proposition wss that the sub
scribers should receive every night 80
per cent Of the gross receipts aud to be
allow Ell to have an agent on the spot
TO take the money,
Among the Others who were inter-
ested in the scheme wss Commodore
Batemsn. He helped them to organ
ize the syndicate and induced several
of his friends to subscribe to the pool.
There was considerable hsggIing about
the drawing up Of the contract. Bill
went across without any sgeLt to take
charge Of the syndicste's percentage.
So far, according TO the evening
Sun, the syndicate has not received a
single dollar which represents The
portion of gate receipts and got back
only 80 Ter cent Of the principal
which was contrihured. But there Is
every reason to believe that in its
earning capacity the show met all the
expectations Of Buffalo Bill and took
in a sufficient amount Of money, not
only to pay the 80 per cent gross re.
ceipts nightly, but to pay back the
principal. The members Of the syDdi-
cate here had perfect confidence in the
honesty of Buffalo Bill. Thev say
that In his business relations with the
body on this side, be always hss been
square, but that he is not good Judge
OF men and is liable TO he irp sed
npah by shsrpers who have q cd sd-
dress. Trey think il j. p s bic that
some Of bis representatives msy be re-
spoDsible for this failur to make good
the promises upon which the syndi-
cate wss organized, and il il FIR that
reason they are anxious to see Buffalo
Bills books wherein are kept the ac.
counts

HELENA COAL TBIEyEs.
Prominent Dealers Charged With Stealing
by the Carload.

DENVER, Dec. l3.-The News says:
The thieves who have for The past two
years been robbing the y. p. road OF
thousands Of dollars worth Of goods
are about to be brought TO justice.
Since Thiel's detectives have taken
charge of the case n great many rob-
berries have been brought to light, and
within the past two weeks the most
gigantic steal ever attempted on the
road was unearthed and three or four
arrests made. Coal merchants OF Hell.
ena are the guilty parties and several
of them may go to the psnitentisry for
stealing ccal by the carload aud baul.
ing it distance # 100 miles from the
companyis mine without paying
freight.
Tie y. 7. owns the Timber Line
mines. 10 mites north of Helena, and
a. they have the best mines in the lc-
calily, they are enabled to charge a
much higher prce for fuel, besides
collecting their own rate for the haul,
theirs being practically the only line
of road through that section. Coal
and wood dealers Of Helena oonl-
planned bitterly, but there was no help
for Il. Two years ago, however, the
price Of Timber Line coal was lowered
by number of merchants so that il
was almost impossible to see where
the local dealers made profit. The
detective who worked the case and
brought about settlement between
merchants for stealing freight was also
detailed TO the coal matter. The reg
istered amount Of coal taken out of
the mines was not sent over the COM
pany's lines, Judging from the num-
ber Of men required 10 Inine the coal.
The detective spent three months in
the mines 10 no purpose when he ar
ranged TO obtain the number Of cars
each engine took from the mines. The
night he received the list he watched
carefully and noted that while the
train was being made up an extra car,
which was on the sidetrack, was taken
on the train ahead OF the caboose, and
the train moved toward Helena. The
railroad officials at that point were
communicated with and the cars
checked by detective. To the sur
prise OF all concerned the number Of
the fiat car the detective had sent In
did not arrive In the yard. That
morning the engineer doubled the
road and the identical car YVES re-
turned-empty.
Where Il wept and how II returned
was mystery. On the next trip the
car was checked in every town along
the road by "spo;ter," and again II
failed to put in an appearance at Hell
ens. 1t could not have been left on
the tracks or on a swltcn, whicn were
both afterward carefully guarded, and
the car was seen at every point. but
not at Helena, its evident destination.
Finally a defective was sent to Boze-
man, who walked from there 10 the
mine and climbed on the coal car on
the switch. The regular down train
came along and hooking on to the fiat
car, proceeded TO Helena. As before,
the car was checked at every point,
and u man was on it, bound TO stay
till II reached Its destination. In the
yards Of Helena a brakeman uncoupled
the fat from the train and the csboose
from the stolen car Of coal. The con.
ductor applied the brakes and the

raboose dropped in the rear, while the
tain went ahead u The fat. Tie de.
t'clivt then sat up aud watched the
proceedings. a witchmon threw the
switch and the fat ear turned Of on "A
side track alongside coal chute. As
soon us it La-sed the switch whs
thrown 10 the main track, aud the ca
boose ran up % the train, which had
stopped for a crossing. 1t was coup ed
on aud the train proceeded 10 the
freight depot, minus the stolen coal
car.
The fiat in the meantime run a die.
fance Of $50 feet, when a dsrk form
was seen setting the brake, the car
stopping along chute, WHEN the de.
tective slipped TO the ground. aud
from the shadow Of a car saw force
OF men empty the coal into the chute.
Then the car wss showed back 10 the
maiu track. When the same engine
started on the return trip to double
the road, the cahoose was again loos-
ened and the fat car pushed on the
main track and the switch thrown
into position. The train, though IL
bad not stopped, was going slow
slow enough to permit coupling, and
the car was taken back to the mines.
The story seemed incredible. That
q switchman, brakeman, engineer and
conductor would enter such = bold
combination seemed preposterous.
The men who unloaded the coal were
employees Of the coal dealers. A sug-
gestion OF the detectives was adopted
and when the same train reached the
yards few nights later another en-.
glneer was sent back in charge of 1t,
and the empty car was left in the
yards beside the coal chute. Not a
word was said, and the following
night when the regular train crew
went out, the mysterious car was
taken with them.
About that time Ed Pennell, a
switchmsn in the yards, resigned and
came TO Colorado, buying an interest
in saloon in Pueblo, where he now
is. Two weeks ago Thiel's manager
at Portland, sent mau to Pueblo to
locate Pennel. and while he YVES
looking the man up several arrests
were made in Helena, and the matter
kept quiet until Pen1el could be ar
rested.
Last week Chas. NJ. Jeffries, of
Lewis and Clarke county, received a
dispatch to pr, cure "a requisition and
proceed ID Pueblo. Jefffies was in the
city yesterday, applied TO Gov. Cooper
and obtained a requisition for Peunell
aud left on the 3 O'Clock train for
Pueblo yesterday for his man. His
arrival in Helena will be like the cast.
ing Of a thundgrb)lt. More arrests
will follow, other robberies will be uB-
earthed and genuine sensation pro-
duced among Il number OF unscrupu-
lous coal dealers, one of whom stole $50
ears OF coal last spring, from January
to June, by paying the lrain crew and
the mau az the mine ptrreutage OF
the profits.

There was an unfortunate charger
whose duty it was to carry an ex-
tremely fat and heavy Indian gen
eral. Feeling that this task was
more than could be reasonably requir-
ed of him, the intelligent animal in
variably lay down and refused to get
up whenever the general tried to
mount him, and SO far gained his OBJ
jcct that his owner sold him to a
young officer who was going to dis
tant station up country. Two years
afterwards the general went to inspect
some frontier environments, and as he
travelled to his destination in a palan-
quin, was obliged, to borrow a charger
for the purpose of the inspection.
There was some difficulty in finding one
up to his weight. At length an officer
resigned to him powerful horse for
the occasion, which was brought out,
duly caparisoned, in front of the
line. The general came forth from
his tent and proceeded to mount, but
the instant the horse saw him advance
he flung himself flat upon the sand,
and neither blows nor entreaties could
induce him to rise. 1t was the gener-
ais old charger, who from the mo-
ment of quitting his service had never
once practiced the artifice until this
second meeting The general, who
was an exceedingly good humored
man, joined heartily in the universal
shout that ran through the whole line
on Witnessing this ludicrous affair
