MIssoULA, Sept. 9.-Three horse thieves
appeared yesterday in the neighborhosd
Of Gold creek, having with them IA horses.
They were headed by fellow called the
Mormon Kid.
Jim Conley went from Deer Lodge and
found them this morning between Gold
creek and Drummond and ordered the
Kid to throw up his hands. He was
mounted and tried to escape. Conley shot
him through one side Of the abdomen.
As he refused to surrender second time
Conley perforated his shoulder. Still he
rode away and Conley aimed TO drop him,
but his rifle hung fire, so the Kid escaped.
A posse is after him.
A man from Carter district announced
at the sherif's office this evening that
Barry had been caught, tried for the mur-
der OF Welsh and acquitted. From his
story il appears that couple Of physic-
ians testified that Welsh was diseased,
aud il he had not been he would not have
died from the effects of Ba.ry's blows. A
constable has Barry hid in the mountains
now. An officer will probably go down
from here and arrest him.

PmLIPsBuRG, Sept. 9.-Bowen Bros.
and Thompson, who are undoubtedly the
most enterprising OF Philipsburg's citi-
zens, have about completed and will have
IN working order tomorrow one Of the
most complete electric plants i'm the state.
Arrangements have been recently made
for the same firm 10 light Granite, and
work will be commenced at once setting

town can have their choice Of either the
arc or incandcscent light. The same firm
will also shortly break ground for new
brick foundry building 100 feet square,
which IL is claimed will, with their present
buildings, be the largest foundry In
| the state. III other citizens and business
men would follow the example OF these
enterprlsing gentlemen Philipsburg would
yer ysoon take the place she Is destined
TO hll among the prosperous mining
camps Of Montana.
The republicans Of both Granite and
Philipsburg seem to be in very bad humor
about something. There is said to be
comparatively few men in both places
who aspire TO party leadership and the
old members Of the party, while making
no particular kick at the pri.
maries, silently and listlessly looked
ON with contracted brows and
solemn visages. The STApARD's
correspondent predicts that Thompson
Campbell, of Homestake tunnel fame, " in
receive the support Of the few delegates
who will probably attend the state con.
vention from this section. The demo
crats were never in better temper and
working order, and u democratic club ID
being organized at Granite, Philipsbura
will shortly follow their example and both
places will be represented at the counts
convention by full delegations.
