One Man Killed and a Number Injured by
a Bridge Accident.

One Man Killed and a Number Injured by
Bridge Accident
MIssoULA, July 6.-[Special TO the In
dependent. l-At about 5 o'clock this after
noon, while wOrEmen were repairing the
Higgins avenue bridge, across the AissOula
river, the structure gave way, carrying
nine workmen into the river twenty feet
below. killing Joseph Heron and iDjuring
several others, among them being A. b. Z.
Peppard, who sustained serious injuries
about the back and arms, and John Krause,
who had his shoulder and left arm broken.
The escape of any of the men seemed al
most miraculous, as the bridge was
Howe truss and built Of heavy timbeTs.
Two of the men were buried beneath the
tim5ers for a time and had 10 be chopped
out, the water covering them half the time.
They escaped without serious injury.
The accident was Occasioned by the truss
of the bridge being supplanted by a false
one until new and solid timbers could be
put in. The work was being done under
the supervision of Bridge Builder o. b.
Peppard, who is considered a very careful
and competent workman and the i'm
mediate cause OF the collapse was the
stopping of one OF the jacks that supported
one of the heavy timbers. Fortunately she
river is very low and can be fOrded al this
point.

missioners Go 10 Law.
BUTTE, July 6.-[Special TO the Inde-
pendent For some time past there has
been considerable friction between Sheriff
Lloyd. Of Silver Bow county, and the
board Of county commissioners. This grew
out of the refusal of the board some time
ago to allow the sheriff n jailer, in addition
to the one heretofore employed by the
county. The trouble eliminated a few
days ago, when the commissioners, with
out consulting Sheriff Lloyd. appointed 5.
S. Trice the death watch on Harry Roberts,
who is sentenced TO be hanged Aug. Is for
the murder of J. w. Crawford. The sheriff
refused TO grant Trice admittanee 70 the
Jail. This led the commissioners to begin
suit against the sheriff for an Injunction.
The complaint was drawn up by MI.
Dewitt, who BY virtue of his Office as
county attorney is legal adviser of the com.
missioners. 1t sets forth that at their last
session the county commissioners agreed
70 employ 5. 5. Trice as a special death
watch for the better security of harry
Roberts, who is described as a criminal
who may attempt to escape or to destroy
himself. Mr.. Trice is described as a fitting
person for such an Office. IL is further
stated that Mr.. Trice accepted the appoint
ment but when he presented himself at
the Jail he was refused sdmittanee
by Sheriff Lloyd. and up TO the
present time he has been unable 10 perform
the duties for which the commissioners
selected him on account of such a refusal.
Wherefore it is prayed that the district
court issue decree enjoining snd restrsin-
ing the sheriff from preventing Mr.. Tree
from entering the Jail and acting as death
watch on the person of Henry Roberts.
The case was laid before Judge DeWOlfe
this morning and he issued writ 10 the ef
feet that Sheriff Lloyd appear before him
at o'clock this afternoon and show cause
why a restraining order should not
be issued. The case was argued this
afternoon at considerable length
before Judge DeWOlfe, and he gave de-
cision favorable to Sheriff Lloyd, at the
same time stating that both day and night
watch ought 10 be employed. The com
missiOners at once rescinded their order
appointing Trice, and will appoint no
watch and will refuse to pay any one
whom the sheriff may appoint. The com
missioners will probably appeal to the su-
preme court

Boston Merchants Not in Favor of
Placing any Restrictions on the
Canadian Railways.
Charges That the Trunk Lines Dis
criminate in Favor OF New York
Against New England.
The Chicago & Alton to Make a Cut All
Along the Line on Freight to
Chicago.

BosToN, July 6-President Speare az
peared before the railroad commissioners
this morning and read q statement pre-
pared by the committee of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, depreciating any
interference with the competition of Canad-
ian roads with New York lines, which dis
eliminates against Boston in favor of New
York. That American lines told dealers in
the vicinity Of Boston that ii was not in the
interest of the trunk lines to foster any
thing but a trade channel from Chicago to
New York and IL the firms had located
disadvantageously il was their misfortune.
The substantial thing witness wanted was
continuation of the present conditions.
He thought the privileges as between Can
ada and the United States should be exact
ly reciprocal. lfCanadian competition were
eliminated, New YOrd trade would suff 7.
New England roads are largely dependent
upon Canadian traffic for support As a
matter of defense, witness thought it would
be good thing to let Canada
locate her termini in this country.
In case of war if we had the termini their
roads would not be of much use to them.
Whatever commerce that develops in Cana
da will be for the benefit of the United
States The speaker was not aware that
the business Of the Canadian Pacific had
been largely increased since the adoption
OF the Interstate law. He had never seen
any evidence 20 substantiate the statement
that the Canadian roads recoup on Cana
dian business the losses incurred in compe-
ton with American roads. If the Cana
dian roads could be placed under the regu-
latiops of the interstate law it would be
agreeable to New England, although New
England is satisfied with the present con-
ditIOn.
The president, ii. B. Goodwin, of the
Boston Executive Business association,
thought the American lines should be pro-
tected, but he was against shutting out
Canadian lines. He should be in favor of
the repeal of the United States law, rather
than TO extend Its provisions 70 Canadian
roads.
