shot by william Gray.
PHILIPsBURG. July Especial to the
Independent This morning at about 6
O'Clock the community was disturbed by
the report of several pisto. shots on upper
Broadway, and upon investigating it was
found that James Gallaghtr, q well known
old time saloon keeper of Phllipsburg, had
been shot and killed by William Gray. Ii
appears that Gray and Harry Warden had
opened up snap faro game in Gallsgher's
saloon the night before ano at which Gal
lagher had been playing and had lost con-
siderable money, probably $50. Gallagher
said that he was broke and that he would
go TO the bar and get some more money.
Gray remarked that he would close the
game, as he had enough money, and got up
and left the table and went out into the
street Gallagher was pretty mad, and
soon followed him. When Gallagher got
up near the postoffice be overlook his
man, and reached for his pistol,
which action Gray initiated. GallaRher's
pistol missed fire, but Gays went of.
Gray fired four OF FIVE shotk at Gallagher.
In the meantime Gallagher fired one or
two more shats at Graus- her Gsalia,sse-
walked down the street, saying, "Fm
gone, Pm gone" Two shbts took effect,
and Gallagher died a few minutes
after. Gray was immed lately arrested
BY the night watchnl Ian and was
taken to Deer Lodge on the morning train.
Gray is blacksmith by trade and has been
around Philipsburg for some time. He
recently worked for the Combination Min
ing company at Black Pine. He has been
living in PhiIipsburg since he left Black
Pine. Gallagher has lived in Pbilipsburg
for many years. He leaves a young wife
and one child. Two shots took effect in
Gallagher; one struck him In the hip and
glanced out in the fieshy part of the thigh;
the other struck him in tAie breast, and
glanciDg down passed :hroagh the bowels
Snd out of his back above the hip.

One in Every Way.
The fireworks on the old baseball ground
on Helena avenue were quite a feature.
Marshal Worth and his assistants handled
the rockets, Roman candles and bombs
with as much skill as one could hsndle
them, Prof. Beggs and Joe Markie doing
excellent service. The grounds were
crowded with men, women and children 20
witness the pyrOtechnic display, which
was excellent and far superior
to anything of the kind ever
seen In Helena. There were three
set pieces. one the figure of a star, with
1852, ID figures and the words, "MOntana
welcome 20 the union" Another niece
was the figure of the "GOddess of Lib
erty," with a shield and flag. The last
piece bore the words Good night" set in
wheel which revOlved quickly, emitting
myriad cOlOred lights, rockets and BON BE-
bursting 10 air and Roman candles Lending

altogether WAS satisfactory and pleased a
great number of people who witnessed It.
