A FATAL QUARREL.
In Fit of Rage George Mccartney Shoots L. A.
Milburn,

DENVER, June 1S.-TSpecial telegram to
THE HERALD. About 4 80 this afternoon
while Sixteenth street was thronged,
George Mccartney met L. A Milburn, the
well known carriage maker, between Stout
and Champa streets and without warning,
fired five shots, three taking effect, one in
the breast, another in the head and third
in the back. Mccartney then turned the
weapon upon himself, but it failed to re-
spond, and then turned it to the ground.
1t was thendischarged again at his heart,
but bystander secured him and he was
carried to the police station. Mccartney
for many years was his confidential clerk.
He says Milburn promised him an interest
in his business this spring. Then he ac-
cused him of embezzlement and had him
indicted, denying the partnership, although
Mccartney claims to have papers to prove
it. His life was ruined by the charge,
which he declared was groundless Meet
ing Milburno this afternoon his rage OBJ
tanned the mastery and he shot him. The
doctors say Milburn cannot live through
| the night McCartney's trial on the charge
of embezzlement was set for tomorrow,
but it will necessarily be postponed.

STATUS OF THE BILL.
Reed May Refer f. Committee to Gain Time
for Compromise.


WASHINGTON, June 1S.-There is a strong
probability that the difficulty arising over
the position in which the Republicans in
the House find themselves in consequence
of the passage of the free coinage silver
bill by the Senate, viii be overcome
for the present by a reference of the
measure to the coinage, weights and
measures committee. Indeed, it was said
the speaker Aad late this evening ordered
the bill to be referred to that commit e.
Representative Conger, chairman Of The
coinage committee, had several inter
views with Reed during the day,
and supported by other members of
the House, urged that under the rules the
only proper thing for the speaker to
do was to make the reference mentioned.
Conccr at IL o'clock tonight said he did
not believe that Reed had decided the
question, though he might have done So
Under the rules this reference could be
made at any time and nothing worse would
be necessary than the speakers order. It
is believed by friends of the original
House bill that this reference would re-
suit in securing time within which to
reach the compromise basis upon which
both the Senate and House can stand. Con
sentative silver men are of the opinion
that the outcome of the proposed reference
of the bill back to the committee would be
the passage of a liberal silver bill and de
feat the Senate bill

Jamestown Capital: Every contest that
comes before the legislature this winter
will be an argument in favor of the Aus
tralian or some similar reform system of
voting, not alone in this state, but in
South Dakota as well. If the reports from
the recent election are half way reliable
the corruption and abuse of the ballot in
that state, particularly on the capital loca-
tion question, was rank enough to smell
to heaven, though such scent would be
more likely to gravitate in the opposite
direction. Not only this, but all parties
including the Independent party which
then made its political debut in its virgin
purity, seems to be as deeply implicated

FINAL PROOFS.



Pay for Them.
The following circular letter, lately re-
ceived by the land officers at Devils Lake,
is in explanation of joint resolution pas
sed during the closing days of the last ses-
sion of congress. As it is almost impos-
sible now to borrow money with which
to make final proof, the resolution will be
of considerable benefit, particularly to that
class of settlers who have been holding
pre-emptions about as long as the laval

Registers and Receivers, United States

Resolved by the Senate and house of re-
presentatives of the United States of A.
merica in congress, That whenever it shall
appear by the filing of such evidence in
the Offices of any register and receiver as
shall be prescibed by the secretary of the
of the interior that any settlers on the pub
lie lands, by reason of failure of crops
for which he is in no wise responsible, is
unable to make the payment on his home
stead or pre-emption claim required by
law, the commissioner of the general land
Office is hereby authorized to extend the
time for such payment for not exceeding
one year from date when the same be-
comes due.
Any party applying for the extension of
time authorized by said resolution will be
required to submit testimony to consist of
his own affidavit, corroborated 80 far as
possible executed before the register or
receiver, or some officer authorized to ad-
minister oaths in land matters within the
county where the land is situated, setting
forth in detail the facts relating to the
failure of crops, on which he relies to sup
port his application, and that he is unable
by reason of such failure of crops to make
the payment required by law.
On receipt of such application in your
Office, you will note upon your records in
pencil that the same has been fled, and
transmit it, together with the testimony
fled in support thereof, to this Office, &C.
companied by your report and await fur
