his famous ride over distance of about
ten miles, and that il took him from early
morning till noon to do it. Early contra

tiicted by VIM. Fitzpatrick.

ling to tell the story of the encounter.
Fitzpatrick is a man So years of age, though
he does not look nearly so old. He is six
feet in height and wears a mousiache and
small pointed beard. His face is good with
the exception of his eyes, which are small
and cruel and set wide apart in his head.
In speaking of the encounter Fitzpatrick
said that he and Healey have had trouble
together for some time past on account of
a grub bill, which Healey would not paw,
followed him up into the gulch where they
were ehopping wood, for the purpose
Of beating him. According to his
story Fitzpatrick was afraid of
Hesley, considering him desperate man,
and accordingly quit sleeping In the
cabin with him, and went down 20 Mr..
Sweeny's cabin. Ii was here that the
quarrel took place yesterday. Healey was
but % years of age and an exceedingly
muscular and powerful man. The attack
yesterday. according to Fitzpatrick's state
ment, was begun by Healey. The former
exhibits two eyes very much dIseOlored |
and he has also several bruises on his face. |

before he cut him, and that he did the act /
in defense of himself while in fear of his /
life.

living near Ottawa. Canada. He has num-
erous relatives near Butte, and has always
borne good reputation. He will have a
preliminary hearing before the probate
court this evening.

the fatality. Mr.. Agnew was not in the
cabin when the fight commenced and con-
does not know the origin OF the
1ifficulty. He entered the cabin of Sweeny
while the fight was going on, and says that
aesley had Fitzpatrick in the corner and
was pounding him. Fitzpatrick called

struck Healey with his knife. Altogether
