ANOTHER PIONEER DEAD.
A Drink of Deadly Paris Green Ends
the Life of Mrs. John
Link.
a Woman Who Came to Mon
tana in the Early
Days.
IT.. Rcxu,t of Yesterday's Fires-Was the
Steamboat Block Fire 1ncend'ary:-
Last Nights Test

pentleman who arrived in Helena
Yesterday brought the news of the death of
one of Montana's pioneers by her own
hand. Mrs. Joha Link, W & was about 60
wears of age, lived with her husband on
their ranch on Confederate creek in
Meagher county. On "Wednesday afternoon
while alone in the house she took dose of
paris green and then calmly walked out in
the field where her husband and several
men were at work. She told them what she
had done but gave no reason for desiring to
leave the world. Her husband and the men
hurried the woman to the house and lmme-
diately began to apply such antldotes as
were at hand. She was compelled to swat
low large quantities of milk and every
means were used to counterfeit the poison.
They laborcd with her until the last breath
of life left her aged body. The place is re-
mote from any physicians Office and
no doubt the poor woman would
hive died before skilled medical
aid could have reached her. The
poison must have been slow in its work and
no doubt caused her great agony, for the
report which came from White Sulphur
Springs was that death did not come to her
who. sought it. until the day following.
Mrs. Link and her husband came to Mon
tana in 1865 and became interested in cattle
raising and farming. 1t is understood that
their efforts in those early wears met with
success and they were well-to-do people.
Lately fortune. it is said, had not been SO
kind TO the old people and for several years
past they have met with reverses. While
Mrs. Lynx did not tell those who we're
about her in her last moments why she de-
sired to die, it is surmised that the long bat
tie to attain the comforts of old age had
discouraged the poor woman whom fortune
had favored in the old days.
She leaves married daughter Mrs.
Charles Barker, of White Sulphur Springs.

ment will take place to-day at Townsend.

Judge Mcconnell Finds Fault Be

Not Assessed.
The Consolidated Water Companv
Raises Objections to Any
Further Advance,
Questions Regarding Taxation OF Banks
to be Argued To-day Before the
County Commissioners.

Judge N. W. Mcconnell has a protest
against his assessment which for peculiar
ity stands without parallel. He went be-
fore the county commissioners yesterday
and announced that he had ian original
kind of kick The commissioners had
had SO many objections of the regulation
kind that they welcomed anything that
would break the ,Donotony. So they in
yited the judge to state his case He did
80. He said that in making up his assess
ment some few things had been left off, and
he wanted them put on the list. When the
commissioners recovered from the shock of
the novel announcement they acceded to
Judge McConnell's request.
President Chessman and j. B. Clayberg,
attorney for the Consolidated Water com
pany, we're before the commissioners also
They came to answer to the request that
the company show cause why its assessment
should not be further increased. The COM.
PAW returned its property OF S175.O00. The
county assessor raised this to $4,000. The
commissioners thought it should be further
advanced and notified the company to show
cause why it should not be done. The
water company hold that their taxes,
licenses and other expenses are high
enough, and as much as it can
stand. 1t is argued that that the company
has solved difficult problem for Helena in
giving the city water supply, and is con-
stantly at work trying to enlarge its Ca
pacity. For these reasons the company pro-
tests against any further burdens. The
matter was taken under consideration.
circumstances we're filed by Clark, Con-
rad Il Curtin, John G. Curtin, and Albert
Kleinschmidt and others, owners of the
Iron Front block. The latter complain that
they returned their property at $22,5OO and
it was raised by the assessor to $500 So
far there have been very little objection to
the assessments on personal property.
Most of the protests have been on realty.

Trouble With Indians

4 Martinez Who Thinks There Will be
Trouble With Indians
P1TrsBURG. Sept. 26.-Captain Trimble-
ton of the Seventh United States cavalry,
commandant at Fort Sin, passed through
Pittsburg. He says the greatest Indian up
rising of recent times is certain to come
soon. The Indian has got the idea that the
great medicine man is coming to wipe out
the whites and restore to them the owner
ship of the country. The result is that
they have entered with the fervor of fanat-
les upon series of lamentations and re-
ligious orgies. The 5000 Indians about
Fort s.ll have renowned Christianity. and
they are certain that in a short time some.
body will pretend to be the great expected
medicine man. and then trouble will begin
He thinks all United States garrisons should
be doubled.

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

The Demurrers to the Opium Joint In
dictments Sustained.
Judge Hunt yesterday sustained tho de-
murrers to the indictments in the cases
against All Gee for keeping an opium resort,
and against All Hop, George Wilson, George
johnson, All Kit, All Soon and All Charlie
for frequenting the place. The demurrers
we're based on the fact that the indictments
charged keeping and frequenting "a place
where opium was smoked" instead of "a
place where persons resorted for the purpose
of smoking opium" The difference, it will
to seen, is technical one, though the
Judge thought it of sufficient weight to send
the matter back to the grand jury for
further action. The grand jury meets again
to-day and will -equire until about Tues
day to dispose of the new cases coming
before it.

YESTERDAYS FIRES.

At Cullen's ResIdence-Usly Rumors
About the Lenoir House Fire.
The fire department has been called out
three times within the past twenty-four
hours. First to Judge Cullen's house, then
to the Lenoir house and during the evening
the alarm brought the tiremen out to ex-
tinguish bon fire, just for exercise.
The Cullen Fire.
Judge Cullen's residence was badly gut
ted. 1t is two story and basement struc-
ture with attic and was one of the fine
West side houses. The firemen had plenty
of water, but when the flames got in under
the roof they had some difficulty in pour
ing water on them. The chemical engine
was used to keep the flames from the front
portion of the building, but most of the
household effects were damaged by water.
The rear of the building was completely
Quilted. !. he fire got into the dining room
and kitchen and burned every thing and
two bedrooms upstairs were com,
pletely burned out. The family had
bedding, all of which were total
loss. he building was insured with
three companies for $4,000 $1,000 on
the house and $1,000 on the furniture.
None of the wallis were damaged.
1t is estimated that $500 will
replace the damage done the building, but
the loss on the furniture and household eff
fects will be fully $1,000.
Mr.. Cullen still thinks the fire was of in
cendiary origin. There was no fire about
the house and the fact that it started under
the rear porch and at the hour of three
o'clock in the morning looks suspicious.
The whereabouts of colored coacAman,

to the origin of the fire. smith

from that box as the key MAS released when
he went around TO get II and he would like

were sent i'll from boxes 33 and 50. At

account of the way the alarms were sent in
The management of the fire was very good.
Fire Marshal Worth had to run nearly a
mile and half from his residence to the
scene.

The LenOir House Fire,

A few minutes before three O'Clock yes
terday afternoon an alarm was sent in, a
fire being reported in the Steamboat block
but by the time the department. reached
that place the blaze was put out with a few
buckets of water.
The fire was in Mr.. Lenoir's kitchen and
it Is looked upon very suspiciously by those
who investigated the cause. Behind the
door stood two ten-gallon cases of. coal oil
With small can on top. A man named
\ .yers first discovered the fire and spread
the alarm. which aroused Chas. Maitland,
who mad been asleep in his room. MIR.
Matt and got some water and dashed it on
the door casing. / he door was locked. but
he forced it open and there saw the danger.
The coal oil cases were ii flames, but he
lifted the top one to the floor, and while
moving the lower case away from the wall
II tipped over and oil poured all over the
floor.
This greatly surprised MIR. Maitland. who
said: The lower case was III the original
package and the cover nailed down, but on
tearing the cover off l saw that the top of
the can had been cut into for quite a dis
tance around the edges. The second can
