Hover takes hand in the new dea
and publishes below an extract from 8
letter of Mr.. Bradley's, dated Anaconda
January 81, 1889. addressed to Rice &
Hover, Deer Lodge: II will make you
this proposition: will pass on and not
stop at your town if you will pay me the
sum of $500 cash in two weeks from date
of this letter. You can take your choice.
If not, I will supply the town and coun-
try with cheap pictures for the next
year." The above extract was in answer
to letter from me containing samples of
my work and asking him to keep up
prices if he came; that feared the low
rates at which he was working, but
not in any way as a photographer, and
just here wish to say we did not give
up hush money nor could tho gentleman
stand the pressure, but two weeks we
put on him in Deer Lodge; although we
held our regular price for work, he work
ing for e-half, an open declaration that
he is but snide photographer. I do
not believe in blackmail, hence will give
no man money to stay out of town. Re-
epectfully to the public I am as ever
your "banner" photographer, A. B.
Hover.
MI. Reed will remain in the employ of
Hover, the photographer, and, along
with the retOucher now en- route from
the east, will make strong team photo
graphically.

Graveyard Subscription.

Thus far Vim. Bradshaw has beer
quite successful in getting subscription.
to the graveyard fund, there already be-
ing several hundred dollars subscribed
and more added every day. There is
now no danger that the dead will be dis
turbed by the parsonage who was enter
prising enough to jump graveyard. It
is now reported that the man Moiles who
did the jumping was acting in conjunc-
ton with couple of our residents who
claim the honor of being respectable citi-
zens. This summer the grounds will be
enlarged and substantial fence erected
around twenty acres, which will be
enough for this community for all time
to come.

A tame crow belonging to farmer
near Ridgeway, Ont, has been taught
to distinguish colors, and will pick out
from pile of articles OF various COL
ors one of any color asked for.
Hover, the photographer, arrived with
his car Wednesday and will operate it at
Rumsey and Granite this season IN con-
nection with the gallery here, which be-
speaks good work for this section of the
county.
I am just in receipt of a new 14xl7
WIDE angle view lense and a new quick
acting portrait lense which makes my
collection of lenses the best for all classes
of work in the territory state. Being
fully prepared for interior views and

tises to in my car. Object of SO doing is
to rid the camp of "Cheak John" men.
See what I have to say elsewhere. Hover,

bales of oakum to calk the seams, and

Supt. Holland, of the Hatta, has been
laid up for the past two weeks with a
severe attack of rheumatism, but says
everything is moving smoothly at the
mine. Owing to the detected cable the
miners were obliged to lay off few days
this week, awaiting the arrival of a new
repo from Helena. There is considerable
ore on the dump and they intend ship
ping two carloads about the 18th, but
the roads have been in such a bad con-
dition that they had to stop hauling.
However. with the continuation of the
present fine weather, they will be able to
get it out some time this month.

DOOLEY---MILROY.
PAT eooLEY FATALLY SHOT az
THEO. MiLROY.
His Death Hourly Expected The
Outcome OF an Old Fued-The
Murderer in Jail Mt Daer u.oh~.-
Other Particulars.

News reached Philipsburg Tuesday
morning to the effect that the long-an.
ticipated tragedy between the Dooley
and Milroy families, who reside on ad,
joining ranches near New Chicago. had
finally trauspired. The families have
been at swords points for a long time
and have had numerous quarrels and
fights-not alone with their fists. but
have more frequently used guns and
other weapons-end in the past few
months their enmity has increased to
such an extent that both men were al
ways prepared for battle.
On Tuesday morning Dooley dis
covereu ole of his horses in Milroy's
field, and securing and loading his gun
he mounted horse and proceeded to
Milroy's premises to bring back the ami
NAL, which was grazing among those be-
longing to Milroy. As he neared Mil
roys house, according to one story, be-
noticed Milroy come out with gun and
Dooley at once commenced firing at him.
and had discharged his gun three times
before Miiroy shot at all. Milroy then
took aim and fred, and Dooley screamed,
dropped his gun and started his horse
for home; but he had only gone a few
rods when he fell to the ground with a
stream of blood pouring from a bullet
wound in the left breast. He was car
ried home and a physician sent for, who
announced that his recovery was impos-
sible, the bullet having entered Just over
the heart and passing through the body
came out under the right shoulder blade.
At this writing the injured man is
conscious, but he realized that his term
of life is short, and has called his friends
to bid them forever farewell. His death
Is expected at any minute.
Milroy went to Drummond immediate-
ly after the shooting and gave himself up
to the officers and was taken to Deer
Lodge, where be is confined in Jail.
The Dooley family claim that Milroy
did all the shooting and that only one
shot was fired, but some men who were
at work near by say that they heard at
least four shots fred.
1t is not thought Milroy will receive
much punishment for the CRIME as he
most likely acted in self-defense. Both |
non had threatened each ::other's life
several times, and about a year ago
Dooley shot Milroy in the leg with buck
hot and he has been lame ever since.
This will, We hope, put an end to the
roubles between the families. About
he only thing to regret is that when
dilroy fred the fatal shot that the gun I

Dips, Spurs and AnEles-Stoek Quota
tfonS Granite Mountain The
Buckeye Company Tho Hatta-
Mountain Lion.

Among the notable arrivals during the
week were several of the Granite Noun.
tain and Bi-Metallic directors, consisting
OF L. M. kumsey, Moses Rumsey, Chas
Clark, c. D. Mcclure. A. Lambeth and
Paul A. Fusz. NJ. G.. Hall, superinten-
dent Of the Northern Pacific express
company, also accompanied the dlstin-
guished party. They arrived in the
Burg at I o'clock, Sunday afternoon, with
H. H. Browning, in his private car from
st. Paul. After stopping about fifteen
minutes at the depot to greet their many
friends who had assembled to welcome
them, they proceeded to Rumsey to wit
ness the starting of the new Granite
Mountain mill, which was all in readi
ness, awaiting their arrival. At 2:3O
o'clock the machinery Of that enormous
concern was put in motion for the first
time, every piece Of which was found to
be IN perfect position and all moved as if
by magic, which, considering the enor-
nifty of the structure and the amount of
machinery necessary in running a 90
stamp mill, speaks we'll for the accuracy
of the millwright and engineers who have
been engaged for the past Six months in
it's construction.
The mill will not DO put in constant
operation for at least two weeks hence,
owing to the non-completion of the tram
way, which is the only way by which the
ore can be conveyed rapidly enough
from the mine to supply the mill.
The directors will remain in this vicin-
ity until the latter part of the week,
when they will return to their homes in
ST. Louis, and in all probability with a
more determined satisfaction than ever
before that this is one If the greatest
mining camps in the world, and that the
great Grar ito Mountain is the chief of
the worlds richest and permanent mines.
