Our esteemed contemporary the Helena
Herald must either have a strong attach
ment for the bla lder or it sis dumb-for
getfulness prey" in crediting to the
democratic hand-organ Of this city arti-
cles copied bodily from the LEADER.
The placer claims advertised in the
LEADER, were located years ago, and
large quantities OF building stone have
been taken out of them. Hundreds of
dollars in work and improvements over
and above what is required by law have
been expended on them, and when the
papers of Helena join in the cry raised
by miserable wretch of Great Falls,
they are simply placing themselves in
position to be defendants in libel suit.
We will wager the mossbacks of Hell
ena, that every quarry located near this
city, has been located in strict compliance
with the laws and decisions made by the
various commissioners of the general
land office, attorney general of the United
States and the supreme court of the ter
ritory Of Montana. Now if these moss
backs who live 100 miles away, are so IA
miliar with the facts as to want to wager
II little money, we will put up $50 bill
on the chances with them.

JoHNsTowN, June Sin the midst of
this scene of death and desolation re-
lenting providence is exerting subdu-
ing Influence. The temperature is low in
the Conemaugh valley. Its benefit is es-
Unable and should it continue few days
longer it is possible that hundreds of
bodief may yet he recovered in such a
state OF preservation us to render identifi-
cation possible. Many hundreds of the
victims. however, have been roaste and
charred into shapeless masses. The work
OF clearing up the wreck and recovering
the bodies is being conducted systemat-
ically. Over six Thousand men are at
work in the valley. AS the rubbish is
gone over and the bodies and articles of
value are recovered the debris is piled up
and the torch applied. In "a hours more
every mass Of rubbish will probably have
been searched and investi cations be con
fined to the smoking wreck above the

strangers that had been lettering around
there since yesterday. The pistol OF
Agent Jobst was also identified. 1t was
found in possession of the older one.
Both murderers appearedto he foreigners,
brothers, as there was decided resemb-
lance noticeable.
Inc general supposition is that the
robbers expected to find in the depot the
monthly shipment of bullion from the
Jay Gould mine, If such is the case they
were very foolish robbers. The bullion
is in bars, weighing at least hundred
pounds, and is sent in steel safe with a
lock. Mr.. Downs of tho Jay Gould office
does not credit the rumors. He says that
any one at all conversan: with the man
ner in which the bullion Is shipped would
not think of trying to obtain possession
OF 1t while in transit 50 securely is it
guarded. #
The bodies Of the ssthar1erers were
placed in the Helena morgue this after
noon. In memorandum book found in
one OF the pockets of one of the murder
ers is recorded the following names on
the hy leaf: "Julius Quadc, J. Zecle
Qoade, Robt. Quade." Among their eff
fects found were silver watch and chain,
gold watch and chain and pair of field
glasses, which are supposed to be the
property of Mrs. Newbury, in the valley,
her residence having been robbed short
time ago OF gold watch and chain and a
field glass.

SHOT IN BED.

This morning at 7:3O a. M, as Agent
Jobst was about to arise. the two men
entered his bed room and, without warn
ing Of any kind, one of them leveled a
rifle at Jobst and shot him through the
head, the ball entering the left cheek.
Jobst fell back unconscious. Young
Burrell, who was spending the night
with Jobst, made his escape by jumping
through window, carrying sash and all
with him. He ran towards the section
house to give the alarm, but he never
reached it. The assassin Of Jobst shov-
ed his murderous rifle through the win
dow and shot Burrell in the back just.as
he was about to enter the section house.
The boy, for he was only youth, drop
ped dead in his tracks. The robbers
then proceeded to go through the office
and broke open the money drawers where
they found only Il few d. liars. All the
money in the agents hands was in an ex-
press envelope ready for shipping by the
next train. This was left lying on the
ticket counter and the robbers missed it
probably not knowing what it contained

this morning at O'Clock when the news
OF dastardly double murder at Silver
City was received. At that hour Sheriff
Jetteries got dispatch announcing that
the operator at Silver City junction on

the station agent fatally wounded by un-
known parties. The sheriff at once de-
tailed under sheriff Walker and another
officer to proceed to the scene. Mean

out for Silver City, bearing the officers,
two physicians and press reporters. From
all accounts the robbers were hanging
around all day yesterday, one of them
carrying Winchester rifle. They were
very inquisitive and asked all sorts of
questions about the railroad office, the
amount of money handled here, etc.

THE MURDERERs SEEN,

The murderer Of the operator was seen
by Mrs. Shears, who lives near by and
she ut once gave the alarm. Then sec
ton hand, the only one on the premises,
being somewhat familiar with telegraph
ing. went to the ticker in the office and
sent the first news Of the affair to Helena.
The only money secured by the robbers
is what was taken from the till, not ex-
ceeding $40. The agents remittance had
been sent in several express packages
which remained on the desk untouched,
as also the mail pouches.
Agent j obst was shot under the right
eye with Winchester rifle. Burrell was
shot in the back, the ball penetrating the
body. He died instantly. From the po-
sition Of Jobst's body it appears that he
was shot before he was aware of the rob
bers presence, looking like a man in
sound sleep.
Both murderers we're killed in a coulee
about four miles east Of Silver. One was
shot in six places and the other four
times. None of the posse were injured
The second posse from Helena arrived
on the scene just after the murderers had
been killed. The murderers refused to
surrender and kept firing.
On arrival Of the armed citizens in
command Of Sheriff Jeffries it was learn
ed that the murderers had fled to the foot
hills near Willow creek, and that under
Sheriff Walker, with a posse from Marys
vile was now holding them in check
from entering the mountains.
While the train was pulling in to Sill
yer some one in the party had observed
the smoke of rife shot in a northeast
erly direction. Every horse team and
wagon were taken into requisition and in
fact had been held in readiness for the
we'll organized pursuit.
X. Beidler, who knows every foot of
ground in these hills, took charge of the
maneuvers. He directed the posse under
detective Walters to take more southern
course and around the outlaying noun
tains as he rightly believed the shot that
had been observed from the train to have
been signal, Beidler bearing towards
the northwestern edge with his party. A
number of men on horseback took di-
rect route to the summit of the foothills,
SO every avenue of escape was cut of at
once, and it was but question of finding
the murderers and their capture, dead or
alive was certainty. They were soon
located in small guich where they had
covered themselves with sand and kept
up an incessant fire upon the officers and
their men. They were repeatedly called
upon to surrender, but refused to do SO
and the outlaws found their punishment
in swift death. With final charge the
posse closed in and firing rapidly killed
both the murderers More than twenty
shots penetrated their bodies. They were
brought to Silver, where witnesses quick
" identified them as the suspicious

Smoking a Corncob Pipe.

Exactly Your head aches, your
eyes bother you and your throat is always
parched, said well known physician,
diagnosing the case OF a patient. Now
can tell just what brings on these diff
culties. You smoke corncob pipe.
Isn't that fact?"
The sufferer replied in the affirmative,
but was curious to know how the doctor
learned what kind of pipe he used.
Il see SO much of this that | couldn't
help knowing what allied you, explained
the medical man. Men apparently en-
ioying perfect health come to me every
day. They are great big, robust fellows
and they all suffer in the same causes
At first | was nonplused, and led myself
to believe that it was new disease, but
| finally discovered that the whole trou-
bic was caused by corncob pipes. 1t
needs no credulity on your part. Notice
yourself when you are smoking a corn
cob a sickly, overpowering odor, which
fills up your throat and lungs. and causes

is the smoke OF the burning cob, and it
contains enough creosote to cure ham,"

as it does a capital of over 100000, 600

own timber lands, ships, stores, and the
town sites upon which their mills are
located, the dwellings Of which are sim

1t was stated thirty years ago that an
ordinary battery would impart to per-
feet electric motor only one horse power
of energy from a consumption OF two
pounds Of zinc per hour, while good
steam engine would give an equal power
from two pounds per hour of the much
cheaper coal Professor Ayrton now as
seIts, however, that zinc batteries may
yet be made an important and economi-
cal source Of mechanical energy, and that
they may furnish a solution of the prob
lena of converting the energy of coal into
electric energy without the wastefuI
steam engine. Before this can be ac-
complished it viii be necessary to find a
process Of unburning the oxidized zinc
at a cost comparable with the cost of an
equal weight of coal, so that the metal
