Republican in this city that he
could not find one man in the entire works

A DRY ELECTION.
Sheriff Lloyd Will See That All Saloons Re-
main Closed TODAY.

Sheriff Lloyd Will See That All Saloons Re-
main Closed To-Day.
It was understood among the saloonmen
and at the sheriff's Office yesterday that
the election-day closing law would be rigidly
enforced, or, in the words OF the sporting
fraternity, that the proclamation was "a
dead tight proposition" 1t seemed to be
generally understood among the ''dispens-
ing chemists" that the cocktail laboratories
would be Theoretically sealed. At the same
time there are saloon proprietors who an
nounce their determination of throwing
open their doors in case the same discrimi-
nation is shown this year that has been
shown on election days in the past. The
proper Interpretation OF the law troubled
some of the proprietors, and they sought
legal advice, which was to the effect that il
a man closed his saloon when voting began
and did not open it again until the polls
had been closed, he would have complied
With the spirit if not with the letter oi
the law.

WORSE THAN MURDERERS.
Two Men Brutally Beat and Rob a China
man Who Was Feeding Them.

Two Men Brutally Beat and Rob China
man Who Was Feeding Them.
A cruel and heartIess robbery was COM
mitted at the mouth OF Norton's gulch
Friday evening at about s O'Clock. A
Chinaman employed by Claus Miles as a
sheepherder was the victim and the robbers
were two white men one OF whom is de-
scribed as being tall, dark complexioned
with a full beard, and the other as small
man with sandy complexion. The msn
had applied for work at Williams wood
camp the day before and were refused.
During the time they we're there one OF
them hung around the Chinaman's cabin
and seemed to watch him closely. When
they committed the robbery they entered
the cabin and asked "John" for something
to eat. He complied readily and was step
ping out of the cabin for something when
one of the men assailed him with stick OF
wood and knocked him to the ground.
Both then pounced upon him and beat him
mos numerically and brutally and took
his watch and gun and decamped. The
Chinaman's injuries, although serious are
not fatal, and strange to say his skull was
not even cracked. After the robbers LIT
him he presented a sickeBing and pitiable
sight.
A little girl was in the Chinaman's cabin
when the men entered and ran away when
they assaulted him. The description given OF
the cut-throats is furnished by her and also
by their victim.

A GREAT OUTPOURING.
Toole and Magfnnis Speak to
an Enthusiastic Gather

The Greatest Demonstration
Ever Witnessed in the
City of Anaconda.

ANACONDA, September 2s.-[special to
the Miner by Rocky Mountain Telegraph. j
Tonight the town is sea Of light, emitted
BY 800 torches carried by as many men
who, on Lext Tuesday, will vote the straight
Democratic ticket, who, with standard
bearers and marshals, made q gra nd total
of at least one thousand men in the great
est political parade Anaconda has ever
witnessed. Afer marching through the
principal strests it stopped in front of the
Montana hotel, which was one un-
broken food OF electric light from
basement to roof with the blinds thrown
back from the windows on every side. On
the sidewalk in front OF and covering the
entire length OF the main entrance was
erected an elevated stage on which was
suspended two large electric arc lights
making the surroundings as light as day.
Upon this platform stood the Hons. J. X.
Toole and Martin Maginnis, our next gov
ernor and member OF congress from Mon
tana. A continuous round Of applause
was kept up whilst the procession passed
the stand which was courteously returned
by salute from each OF those gentlemen.
Toole spoke first and in his eloquent,
earnest and manly way knocked Tom
Reeds argument into O cooked hat. Mr..
Toole received generous applause at short
intervals which showed the appreciation oi
his large audience.
Major Maginnis then took the stand and
for almost two hours held the attention oi
the great concourse of people who often
broke out into loud cheers, and with ex.
CARNATIONS OF "your right" (" 'that's true, "
etc. They stood quietly listening to his
words OF truth until an alarm OF fire
was sounded by the great smelter whistle,

found that q lot OF torches which had

turned to the hotel, calling long and loud
for Maginnis, who stepped to tie front
again and continued his speech to the end.
The meeting closed amid laundering
cheers for Toole, Maginnis and the whole
D,mocratic ticket.
But this was not to be the end, as the
Anaconda boys called loudly for VIM. M

Thoroughly Explained by Mr..

Seventy Deputy United States
Marshals to "Preserve
the Peace"

ANACONDA, Mont. September 30.-[Spe-
cial TO the Miner by Rocky Mountain Tele-
graph. .l-To.night wound up the political
campaign here with Sheridan speaking to
the Republicans at the French dancing hall,
corner Cedar and Four. h streets, to full
house, and Lars Rand. the Scandinavian
EDrafor at Evans Opera house to an inn
mense crowd OF Democrats.
Rand, during his whole speech, used never
q word that would offend the ear OF
the primest pride, but Sheridan
sandwiched his with stories Of drunken
men Democrats OF course) going home
at night, given in language more forcible
than elegant. He was preceded by Thos.
Power, who said he had been rather de-
pressed as to his chances upon his arrival
here this morning, but that after the assur-
ance of several of his old and tried friends,
both Republican and Democratic that ev-
erything was all right as far as he (Powers)
was concerned, he felt better, thanked his
audiencs for their attention and sat down.
An article appeared in the Inter Noun
tain OF September 80, headed Discharged
for their politics" taken from a Helena
Journal special from Anaconda. Mr.. Chas.
Hinze, boss carpenter for the Anaconda
company when raising the cid flume, said
after reading the article eferred to. that he
had discharged Billy Barker because he
was not good mechanic. For this he was
taken to task by Frank Kinney, who said:
"You have men working for you who are
not any better carpenters than Barker,
and they are getting $3.50 per day, too
Mr. Hinze says: II then told Kinney that
he must prove his assertions inside OF one
hour. Later l asked him to do SO and he
said: well, am one OF them myself
then told him to pick up his tools and leave.
As to Dan McCullom, he was discharged
two months ago. So the idea of there being
anything political in the discharge OF those
men is simply ridiculous" The above
conversation was heard by several well
known gentlemen of Anaconda, among
whom was Republican candidate for the
legislature.
Anaconda besides having nearly 500
legal voters challenged by the Republicans,
is to have insult added to injury and be
disgraced in the eyes OF the country by
having seventy deputy United States
lnarshals sent here tomorrow to ''pre-
serve the peace" Anaconda has
never had occasion to have
any extra officers appointed on election
day, except perhaps a policeman or two to
take care of few chronic drunks, and just
why this last outrage is to be perpetrated
upon our little city, no one can tell. Even
respectable Republicans protest strongly
against it and protest signed by the bus
mess men and Others Of both political
parties is to be cent to headquarters to
prevent, il possible. this diabolical plot tt
intimidate the voters of Anaconda.
