Two Gamblers Shoot Each Other.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 12.-[Special tele
gram to THE HERALD. IA quarrel between
two gamblers in the Board of Trade saloon
this morning resulted in their mortally
wounding each other and dangerously in
juring an innocent bystander. William
Sherwin had been playing the bank all
night, and lost $500. He wanted this back,
and because he was refused that and the
loan of 5000, he concluded he had been
robbed, and opened fire on Tony Levan,
the dealer. Both men continued firing I'M
til their pistols were empty. Sherwin was
shot three times, once through the pelvic
region, and through each thigh, one leg be-
ing frightfully torn. Levan was shot
through the body from side to side. @. J.
Boyer was nit in the back by stray ball
while trying to escape from the room, but
his injury is not considered fatal. The
chances for the recovery OF the two princi-
pals are regarded as exceptionally slight.

far more difficult than is involved in an
ordinary battle, where the only question is of
gaining victory without an effort to save
plans when we look backward, but in the

to the commanding officer there does not
seem to be anything in the arrangement of
his troops requiring adverse criticism on
the part of the department. 1 therefore

AND DUBOIS
The Fight Against the Formers
Confirmation Begun.
THE sENATOR-ELECT LEADS 1T
Serious Charges of Observation-Disclosures
Says the Man Who Makes Them Is
Man OF Good Character.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 12.-TSpeciaI
telegram to TIE HERALD. The fight on
Beatty's confirmation has already begun.
Some days ago Governor Shoup told me he
would not oppose Beatty if the President
should nominate him. Shoup is keeping
his word, put Dubois is working upon the
Judiciary committee of the Senate, to whom
the nomination was referred, and am told
day that the committee will probobly re-
port 1t unfavorably. Their action in this
case viii be influenced not by any regard
for the Idaho Senators, but solely because
OF the charges filed with them affecting
beatty's moral character. These charges
ind, are both numerous and severe.
One charge specifically states that during
Beatty's last visit to Washington he formed
the acquaintance of two women whom he
incidentally met on the street, and that the
trio wended their way to fashionable res
taurAnt, where they proceeded at once to get
gloriously jolly on the best brands of i'm
ported champagne. The foregoing Ian
guage, L ought to explain, is almost iden-
tical with that used in the allegation to
which L refer
1t is not possible to learn the name
OF the person who makes the
charges, but Senator Edmunds, chairman
of the Judiciary committee, assures me
he is gentleman of tue highest character
The other charges against Beatty are dis
similar from that from which 1 have
quoted, and in addition there are others
which pronounce him wholly unfit for the
duties of the high Office to which he has
been nominated. Altogether it is pretty
Republican family row and one which is
furnishing no end of amusement to the
Democrats at this end of the line. 1t will
probably result in Beatty's rejection, but
if this be done, President Harrison will no
doubt renominate him again Immediately
after the adjournment of Congress.

Valuable Mines in the Navajo Reservation

WASHINGTON, Feb. u. Acting Score
tary Chandler, of the interior department,
TO day sent to the House letter from the
commissioner of Indian affairs recommend
ing that an item be inserted in the Indian
appropriation bill to enable the secretary
of the interior to negotiate with the Navajo
Indians, Of New Mexico and Arizona, for
such changes in their reservation bounda-
ries as may be deemed desirable. The com
missioner calls attention to the fact that
for more than two years rumors have been
rife of the existence of rich gold and silver
deposits in the Carlo mountains within
the Navajo reservation, and the Indians
have been watching with keen apprehen-
sion the visits made by the whites to the
place for the purposes of prospecting. Also
the statements in local newspapers to the
effect that determined purpose exists to
gain possession of the mines whether the
Indian title is extinguished or not.

veniently persistent in their demands that
Cleveland should dare to be a Daniel on

in liberal extension of the silver

usefulness of such an increase 1t is in
