Wholesale Assassination.

The finding of woman's body near
Lewistown, Fergus county, reported last
week, led to the unearthing of whole
sale assassination by which five per-
sons-two men, two women and child
lost their lives. The adults had all been
shot in the back and the child showed
evidences of having been strangled. AS
soon as the horrible crime was known
officers from Fergus, Choteau and Cas-
cade counties started on the trail to dis
cover the assassin. Circumstances at
once pointed to James WILDER, a resident
of Great Falls, as the murderer. Wilber
was engaged in peddling goods in the
Judith basin, and one of his frequent re-
sorts was Samples crossing, near where
the bodies were found. Sheriff Cleary
of Fergus county started out on learning
of the finding of the woman's body. He
crossed the river at Samples on Tuesday
OF last week. He then began to find
clues. He found that a man had traded
three horses at Woods ranch, near Stan
ford. for four others, and that a man
named Wilber had traded new Balm
wagon, receiving in exchange for it a
spring wagon. Then he went to Great
Falls and found that Wilber had been
there and left one OF the horses that he
got in the trade at Woods. The immi-
grants who were murdered had q Balm

wagon and two heavy ~:able horses, ano
this fact. coupled with Wilber's posses
sion OF similar property, connected him
with the crime. 1t is believed the muir
ders were committed on June 7th, and
that the murderer carried the bodies to
the Judith river and deposited them in
the water. Wilber left Great Falls on
the 10th, accompanied by his wife, going
toward Deep Creek and Cascade They
Travelled in spring wagon. They were
found in camp by Sheriff Clary Of Fer
gus and Under Sheriff Hamilton Of Cas-
cade, on Willow Creek, east of Cascade.
When Wilber saw Hamilton and Clary
approaching he ran from the fire. at
which he was cooking breakfast, toward
the wagon, with the supposed purpose
of securing gun. Hamilton dashed in
between him and the wagon and with n
wagon wrench in his hand ordered Will
Der to halt Clary drew his revolver and
also called out to WILDER to surrender
He surrendered. He inquired on what
grounds he was arrested. The oflicors
refused to state, but said he must re-
turn with them TO Great Falls, where he
E,as taken and placed in Jail on Friday
of last week. The same evening, when
Sheriff Downing went into the prisoners
cell, he found several strips Of muslin,
evidently made by tearing pillow case.
Wilbur said he knew nothing about them
and they were removed. The following
morning WILDER was found dead in his
cell. He had hung himself with the aid
of towel and some strips from shirt
or pillow case. A prisoner in the adjoin-
ing cell heard him moving about he
tween II and l o'clock and Ills supposed
the deed was dohe then. No groan was
uttered and no particular noise was
made. He would certainly have been
hung anyhow, and he thought he would
do the job himself. James Wilber was
arrested at Great Falls IN The spring of
1887 and was taken back to Cheyenne to
answer for the murder of a cowboy.
After two trials he was acquitted. The
evidence was strong against him, and it
was proved that Harry Patterson was
his real name.
Investigation showed that the MUIR
dered parties were from Helena. The
new Balm wagon in their possession had
been purchased from A. j. Davidson &
Co. of Helena, and through this their
identity was established as Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Kurtz, Ed. Briggs and wife and
a daughter Of Julius Schauss. The
party LETT Helena about May 26th for a
trip across the country, and nothing was
heard from them until the announce
ment of their murder and the finding of
their bodies in the Judith river.

St, Paul's Sexless Freak.

st. Paul Dispatch: DR.. Ohage yester
day examined Vavarin Sirabuski, the
apparently sexless child discovered some
time ago by Agent Hutchins. The father
of the child, an ignorant Pole, had after
long resistance given his consent to have
an operation performed on the child by
the doctor, but at the last moment he
changed his mind and refused to submit
the unfortunate creature to the opera
ton. DR.. Ohage thinks the operation
necessary to give the child sex is not
very dangerous, and believes that after
the operation the child, which up to the
present time has been clad in girls at
tire, will prove to be strong, healthy
boy. Since the authorities cannot COM
pei the father to allow the operation as
long as the child is in his charge, the
poor creature, who is now under arrest
for chicken stealing, will be sentenced to
the reform school, and while there the
operation will be performed.
