To Counter.ct . Trust.

:. New YoRK, June 16.-Leading wholesale
liquor dealers of New York. Philadelphia,
chicago and Cincinnati held q meeting to-
day which bodies i'll for the whisky trust.
when the trust got grip ON a majority of
the distllier1es they advanced prices cents

months from time of issue, provided the
party to whom the certificate was issued
bought goods exclusively of the trust.
~ this scheme the trust held

which they do not pay cent of interest.
This y what Wholesalers object to. After q
lengthy talk In which some wholesalers ad-
vocated building distilleries to knock out

resolution was adopted providing that q

A BRUTAL SON.
On Trial ut Butte for Killing His Mother
Last February.

On Trial Mt Butte for Killing His Mother
Last February.
BUTTE, June 16.-[Special.] = Thomas
Bryan, lad not more than 10 years of age,
was arraigned before the bar of the district
court of this city this morning charged with
the murder of his mother. The killing took
place at her home in Burlington, suburb
of this city, February 12. No one was pres
ent to witness the shooting and number of
theories have been formulated regarding it.
What is known is that Mrs. Bryan was a
hard working woman, doing everything in
her power to keep her three children and
save money enough to join her husband
who was foreman of a mine in Australia.
The boy was incorrigible, who would
not work, but delighted in spending his
mothers money in saloons and other low
places. Learning that his mother had
saved up $500, he asked her for part of it
with which to go to San Francisco. This
request caused the quarrel which cost his
mother her life and placed his in jeopardy.
The state will prosecute on tho theory that
the shooting was willful and premeditated,
and for the purpose Of securing the money,
The defense will be that it was purely accl-
dental. The unfortunate woman only lived
long enough after receiving that deadly
shot through the breast to stagger to the
next room and expire on the threshold
without being able to speak word. The
boy took S225 of the money and fed to the
hills, where he escaped pursuit by hiding in
a deserted placer mine. He narrowly
escaped being shot by pursuers several
times. After suffering greatly from cold
and exposure he came in and gave himself
up. Feeling ran very high against him at
the time, but it has had time to die down
some now. The return of the boys father
from Australia and his evident faith that
the shot vas accidental has done q good

The Dead Body Of an Unknown
Man Dangling from a
Tree.
Indications that the Man Had Been Fatally
injured, Then Hanged 70 Give
Color Of Suicide.

M1ssouLA, June 16.-[Special. Chief of
Police Feily this afternoon found man
hanging by the neck on tree near the river
bank in the west end of the city. The
officer notified the coroner, who summoned
a jury. which, with the officer, proceeded to
the place. The man had small rope, or
rather stout cord, tied around his neck.
the knot away back of his ear, and the
other end of the cord, which was about two
and half feet long, was tied to limb not
more than an inch and half in diameter,
which was bent down, but not broken. His
feet rested about foot in the water and
his right hand clasped smaller limb of the
one to which the cord was tied. while his
left hand clasped some twigs down below
his chest. When cut down and laid on
his back the body looked like that Of
man OF about thirty years of age, with
brown hair and thin moustache. He was
dressed in red underclothing, checked
shirt with light blue necktie, q dark coat
and waistcoat and dark striped pants. On
the right brow was wound from which the
blood had flowed pretty freely down the
side of his face. and looked as though he
had been struck with blunt instrument.
About half an inch of the tongue was be-
tween the teeth, which were clinched tightly
upon it. The face was very slightly disool-
ored. While some were inclined to the be-
lief that the man had hung himself, the
position of the body, the smallness of the
limb and the wound on the head seem to
preclude this idea. II the man hung him
self, hi must have had terrible grit to do 80
when by simply standing on his feet he
could have Strengthened himself up. Then
the clasped hands, as though he were max
ing last effort to support and straighten
himself up, and the clinched teeth, would
indicate that he had SO tried and that the
wound on his head had so weakened and
dazed him that he could not succeed. The
whole circumstances and position looked
as if he had been struck down and was dy-
ing when he was tied up. There was moth
ing on his person to show his identity, al
though several persons thought they had
seen him around town not long ago. It was
thought by some tonight that the mans
nano is Hendrickard, and that he lives
somewhere up the Bitter Root. The coro-
ner's inquest adjourned until morning.

Bids for Structural Iron.

PrTsBuRo, Pa, juno 16.-A decided SEN

Belgian iron firm had bid to supply the
structural iron necessary for the new court

tended to kill his mother. A good many
now believe he pointed the pistol at her to
scare her into giving up the money, and 1t
was accidentally discharged. The accused
is dark complexioned young fellow, Of
slight build, with anything but a pleasing
face. He bears his trial manfully, only
showing little nervousness when the at
torneys talk about the death sentence when
questioning the jury. The case will proba-
bly, occupy several days in trial,

A Ten-Round Draw.
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 16.-Charles Daily
of st. Louis and Billy Murray of Los An
Reles, fought ten rounds to draw at Base
ball Park this afternoon for $500. They
used four ounce gloves and there was lively
slugRlng from start to finish. Both showed
some considerable science, but Daily
had the advantage in weight. Murray
landed heavily on Daily's mouth
in the frst round and scored clean knock
down. First blood was drawn by Daily in
the third round. At the close Of the ninth
both were very tired. Daily had q bad cut
over his left eye and Aurray's lips and right
eye were cut and swollen. In the tenth the
men were 20 tired THAR blows counted for
little.

The Silver Bill,

WASHINGTON. June 16.-Questi oned as to
the character of the silver bill the senate
would pass, Senator Jones. of Nevada, an
swered that it seemed quite probable now
that it would be bill providing for free
coinage. He said the effort to procure
pledges of majority of the senate to vote
against free coinage had been a failure,
and the inevitable result. he thought, would
be the passage of bill including that
feature. A list of republican sena tors
favorable to free coinage, as given by one
of them, includes Wolcott, Teller, Jones,
Stuart, Plumb, ingalls,, Mitchell and Cam
eron, and Power and Sanders.

Senator Blair proposed two amendmen ts
to the silver bill to-day. One was to strike
out all after the enacting clause and insert

The other amendment provides that there

Engineer william Hooker Meets . Terrific
Death Near Silvor Bow.
BUTTE, June 16.-ISpecial. The outgo-
ing train ON the Montana Union, bound for
Garrison, met with an accident about 5
O'Clock this afternoon which resulted in the
terrible death Of Engineer William Hooker.
The train was about half way between this
place and Silver Bow and was running at a
good rate of speed when the engine sudden
" threw the side bar upon the right side
that ponderous piece Of steel followed the
motion Of the driver, and crushed through
the cab with terrific force, stripping one side
entirely from the engine. It caught Hooker
in passing and threw him from the cab and
clear OF the train. The fireman was ON his
own side Of the engine and escaped compar-
atively unhurt. When picked up Hooker
was still breathing but death came to his
relief in very few minutes. He had sus-
tanned fearful injuries on his head, sides
and back and upon both legs, almost any
one of which would have been fatal. The
deceased was one of the best known and
most trusted of all men ON the road. He
was about forty years Of age and leaves a

HEADS CONE OFF.
The Ranks Of Union Pacific Onicials Being
Decimated

NA.S ASsssAsAc
Decimated
OMAHA. June 16.-[Special. THE shock
that ran through the Union Pacific ranks
when Mr.. Dickinson was asked to step
down and out has been renewed, and ac-
cording to information from the inside cir
ole it has been renewed with vengeance.
MIR. Mellen is to be succeeded by Mr.. Mum
roe, and Mr.. Tebbets will be made assistant
general traffic manager. The handwriting
on the wall, it is asserted, has suddenly
blazed forth in the Office of no Less person
than Third Vice President Kimball, and
that the place which now knows him 80 we'll
will in few weeks or days know him no
more forever, 80 far as his present official
position is concerned. A short time ago
prominent gentleman residing out of the
city sent Mr.. Kimball request for pass
The letter received no attention, not even
an answer, although such a request had
been previously answered with both prompt
ness and pleasure. The gentleman who
made the request was in this city
recently and asked Mr.. Kimball if
he had received request from him for a
pass. MIR. Kimball replied that he had, but
all power to do anything more of the kind
for his friends had been taken out of his
hands, much as he regretted the mortiRca-
tlon which the announcement occasioned
him. The gentleman then asked Mr.. Kim
ball why he did not. at least. answer his
letter. TO this Mr.. Kimball acknowledged
or revealed another fact that went very
much against his grain. It was that he
had found himself under astonishingly
close surveillance, and was actually afraid
even to answer the letter. President
Adams and Vice President Holcomb fin.
ished their tour of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn and returned to Omaha this morning.
When questioned regarding rumors of more
changes to be made in the official stat,
Mr.. Adams declared that he knew of none.
"Mr. Dickinson's resignation" he con-
tinued. sis the last, and if there are others
to follow it is something / know nothing
about. If an official circular has not been
issued appointing j. q. Brinkerhoff to sue
ceed Dickinson, it will be in few days."
