Company.
Mr.. E. G. Maclay has received IA letter
from Superintendent r. M. Raymond of
the Moulton mine of Neihart, from
which we quote the following:
II have heard tell of the Moulton vein
where it was so wide that a man could
put the tips of his fingers at n wall,
stretch out and was unable to reach the
other side of the ore with his other hand.
/ never could find that place until to-
day, when in the east heading, in the
lower level, it was just that way, and my
outstretched rms came within two
inches of covering the width of the vein
more than good six feet. Moreover
that width, or where | got a sample yes
terday, assayed 90.5 OF. in silver, and in
this width are three streaks of galena,
aggregating 10 inches in width which as
say 244.S2 ozs. 1t is the finest thing in
sight in the mine yet"
Every days work on the Moulton
seems to show an improvement, and it is
now in condition TO rank as one of of the
best mines in Montana. The owners cal
culate that they have now $25O,OOO in
sight,

MMURRAYS CLOSE CALL.
"BILLY" ABEL SNAPS A PISTOL IN
THE OFFIcER's FACE

The Colored Winner of $1,000 in the
Louisiana Lottery Tries to Shoot a
Policeman and Just Misses Being
Shot Himself-Abel Arrested and
Lodged in Jail Under Three Charges.
William Abel, the coIored ex-bartender of
the Ponce de Leon, who struck the Louisiana
lottery in March for 5000. attempted to
shoot Officer McMurray last night at mid
night.
The officer was working bis way up York
street lane and encountered three colored
men at Habersham street. One of them
was Abel. He was boisterous and his COM
panions told him to be quiet, that an officer
was coming.
g. the officer" replied Abel, "pn kill
him before he shall arrest me-"
Policeman McMurray walked up and
asked Abel to stop the disturbance. Abel
replied in an abusive manner and continued
to be annoying. McMurray ordered him to
move on, and, putting his hand upon him,
said, Come with me-"
''II be - if do,n Abel replied, and he
threw his hand behind him, and before the
policeman could stop him the negro BRAN
dished pistol in his face and snapped it.
McMurry seized the weapon and wrenched
it out of the mans hands and snapped 1t at
the negro.
Abel turned and ran up the lane toward
Lincoln street. McMurray drew his own
pistol and fired three times at Abel as he
ran.
As Abel turned into Lincoln street
he fell. 1t was thought that one
of the shots had taken effect,
and McMurray, assisted by policeman
Ly nch, picked him up and took him to the
barracks. The report of the shooting
brought people from almost every direction.
In less than minute the streets were
thronged. The relief force was
| just reporting at the barracks.
and half dozen officers hurried
across to where the shooting was going on.
Sergt. Ling put the following charges
against Abel: "Disorderly conduct, carry
ing concealed weapons and attempting to
shoot an officer" Abel was laughing as he
stood up before the sergeant.
"Are you hitP' he was asked.
"Me? Not me. Nobody shot at me. I've
| got sense; if he had shot at me to hit me he
| could have hit me. l didn't do nothing to
| be shot for. He knowed what he was
| doing"
Policeman McMurray handed the SER
geant Abel's pistol.
"Yes, that's mine," he said.
Eyes, and it's the last you will see of it,
| too"
Abel did not deny any of the charges pre-
ferred against him. When he was searched
| 1928 40 was found in his pockets,
together with gold watch and chain, a
knife aad some keys. He wore pair of
patent leather shoes and neat suit of black.
When the sergeant ordered him taken to the
barracks Jail, Abel refused to go and chung
to the railing around the office. The officers
had to take him out by main force.
Abel worked a long time in the Ponce de
Leon bar, but after winning the $1,000 he
went away and had not been seen in Savan-
nah in some time before last night.
He said at the barracks that
| he had just arrived in the city,
but when asked where he had been he re-
fused to say.
Abel is regarded as very quarrelsome
man when he is intoxicated. On one occa-
sion he threw wine glass at a white man
