BUTTE, June l0.-[Special 10 the indie
pendent Another fatal shooting affray
occurred in this neighborhOOd tonight. AT
III O'Clock tonight several men were drink
ing at Ferguson 4 Co.'s saloon at Rocker.
Albert Springer and Howell Thomas got
into an argument over some trivial mat
ter, the nature of which is not yet thor
oughly understood. Their companions
paid no particular attention TO the SQUAD
BILE, WEIGH had not proceeded far when
Thomas jumped 70 his feet and drew a SS-
calibre revolver. He fired one shot at
Springer, who was defenseless. The
bullet took effect In the left breast, and
the victim died in a few minutes. Sheriff
Lloyd went down at once and the mur.
derer is now under arrest
Springer was so years old, unmarried
and was in the employ Of the Blue Bird
company, working at the mill. Thomas
had no regular occupation and bears . bad
reputation. Owing to the lateness of the
hour at which the information reached
Butte and the excited condition of the par
ties who furnished the facts by telephone,
no further information can be learnsd.
The men in the saloon held the murderer
until the arrival of the sheriff, about an
hour after the shooting. The shooting is
undoubtedly a cold-blOOded murder, and as
it is the second killing since the adjourn
ment of the grand jury, it is likely special
grand jury will be called TO sit on the
cases.

NKw YORK, June I0.-The steamship
Ailsa from Port Au Prince arrived this
morning. The first officer told 3 reporter
he had heard nothing Of the reported over
throw of Legitime. The statement was
made to him by two officers OF LegItims
that HippOlyte's forces were within seven
miles of Port Au Prince, but the opinion
they expressed was that there would be no
decisive fighting until fall on account of
the condition of the roads. The
Ailsa carried the transfer mails
from Hayti, which left there May 80. By
this mail the advices were sent 70 a local
firm BY his Haytisn representative % the
effect that Hippolyte's forces were within
twenty-one miles of Port au Prince; that
Legitime was still in power The news
