while out hunting the other day with Mr..

wounded bird and suddenly disappeared,

ANACONDA, Mont, Special to LEADER
by Rocky Mountain Telegraph Co.
Details of the melancholy tragedy at Sill
yer Lake on Sunday afternoon have been
furnished lis by Mr.. E. P. Thomas, pro-
prietor of the stage line from Anaconda
to Georgetown who was an eye witness
of the events leading up to the murder of
one man and the wounding of two others.
About a year ago two Swedes. brothers,
names Bjernstern located mining claim
in the vicinity. Some three or four
months ago four loggers, among them
two named Rice and Scaleppery, jumped
the claim and were bitterly opposed by
VIM. Mccoy. Il saloon keeper and promi-
nent sport of JoAnstown, who had es-
pousec the cause of the Bjornsterns Bad
blood ensued between Mccoy and the
loggers and the latter have been heard to
threaten to 'do Mccoy up in horse
race
Yesterday, Sunday, had been widely
heralded throughout that region as the
appointed day for match horse race at
Silver Lake between local "scrub" celeb
rifles
After the races the crowd adjourned to
a neighboring saloon. In front of the
saloon door Anderson and Rice came to
blows. Rice was thrown down and ter
ribly pummeled, when Mccoy. standing
near, leaned over the writhing combat
ants and cried to Anderson, "Stay with
him old boy; I'm your friend.'
At this juncture Scaleppery, who had
ridden off to an adjacent house, returned
to the scene Of the melee, and, whipping g
out a six shooter, first knocked Mccoy
down with its butt and then began his
deadly work with the business end of it.
The first shot, aimed at Mccoy, missed
him, but passed through the window of
the saloon and struck Ed Baxter of Butte
City, inflicting a painful but not fatal
wound.
The second shot, more deadly, struck
Mccoy in the forehead, penetrating the
brain and killing him almost instantly.
The third shot grazed the top of the
head of A. W. Fredell of Georgetown
telling him to the ground senseless, but
producing only a scalp wound.
With yell of defiance, he then mount
ed his horse and, with farewell shot
made for the dense timber bordering the
lake, hotly pursued by the friends Of the
dead Mccoy. Escaping a hot fusilade
the fugitive plunged into the intricate
mazes Of the forest and eluded further
pursuit. 49,.
When last seen his little Indian pony
was climbing the foothills beyond the
woods with the speed and agility Of !:
mountain goat and quickly disappeared
over the range.
Sheriff Moore Of Deer Lodge county
and posse are securing the country fol
the murderer, but apparently with little
chance of affecting his capture.
Tie murderer is about % years Of age
wears large white hat with large leather
band around it. He has 4 light nous
