Col. Thomas Cruise, the Helena mil
lionaire, became very indignant be-
cause a Helena man told "a Chicago
Times reporter that at one time the
Drum Lummon discoverer was refused
credit for n sack of flour. lie also
took umbrage at the Inter Mountain
for republishing the article. Johnny
Reed comes back at the millionaire in
this style: 1.-The Inter Mountain does
not believe that lie was ever refused
credit for n sack OF Hour. In those
days he did not use flour. lie lived
mostly on crackers and cheese and it
ls said used to make his own candles
| to prospect the great mine which after
wards brought him wealth and fame.
His credit, like his appetite, was al
ways unimpaired We stood ready to
loan him money at any time and are
yet, and il any grocer ever refused to
give him credit for u sack of Hour il
was because of the fear that Mr.. Cruise
would make pie and cake OF IT and
thus unfit himself. through indiges
tion, for the exploration OF the great
bonanza. 1t was not because of tn,
value OF u sack OF Hour, which il
those days was not more than S''
per cwt."

Elsewhere will be found a letter from
County Attorney Smith in reply to the
charges made in last week Democrat.
Ii will be seen that he meets them all
sauarely and invites the editor and his
"cappers" to make some sIecitic charge
and produce the proof to sustain it.
He readily explodes the charge OF col
lecting fees to which he was not en-
titled. and states the case clear enough
to satisfy any man, except one who is
fashioned after the buzzard. which
subsists on carrion.

with paying clandestine visits to his

Now that the campaign is over it is
not so difficult to find a trusm in the
Democratic prints. The River Press
OF a recent date, publishes the follow
ing clipping in relation to Mr.. Carter
"One of the surprises of the election
is the defeat OF Thomas II. Carter in
Montana. Carter became one OF the
most prominent new members OF the
house. He was the only man from the
new states to be appointed chairman
OF a committee. lie was always sue
cessful in securing local legislation for
his state, and in one feature of the
tariff bill i'm which Montana was sup
posed to be interested he was itsespec-
ial champion. The hardest fight in
the house on that bill was over the
lead ore schedule. Carter took the
lead in this and secured everything he
asked"

From Our PhiIhrook Correspondent
In Philbrook, Monday morning last
at . o'clock, Henry Elmer was shot
by "a Mexican half-breed named John
James. The shooting took place near
MorisOn's barn, at n point directly
opposite Dr. Longs residence. The
wounded man was at once removed
to his residence, and everything was
done to render him comfortable. The
external wound WAS on the left side,
between the seventh and eighth ribs,
and about seven inches from the
me,lian line. At this writing neither
the course Of the bullet nor what Or
gans were punctnred is known. The
ball is probably lodged somewhere
near the backbone internally. There
is also a flesh wound on the left wrist.
made by the bullet before il entered
the body.
Elmer came to Philbrook from Wolf
creek about two weeks ago and opened
the Philbrook hotel. The half breed
came with him and had been in his
employ until sunday afternoon last,
when he was pad oil and discharged
lie took from the house a 3S-calibre
revolver, and at the time remarked to
Mrs. Elmer that he expected trouble
Sunday afternoon he was int oxicated
and at about 10 O'Clock discharged
the revolver once in the street.
Monday morning Elmer met him
and demanded the return OF the re-
volver, which he declined to do. Ebne,
was preparing to strike him with u
large club, when the Mexican drew hi,
revolver and fired when only about
four feet away. lie then ran across
the street and told DIR. Long that a
man was shot. lie even assisted hi,
victim into n wagon and helped tC
carry him therelrom into his room.
The Mexican has been in and about
the Basin for five years, and was 4
"cowpuncher."
Elmer is well known about Nader
and Castle.
The shooter gave himself mp at once
and was lodged in the Jail at Lewis
town.
