SHOT BY A SHEEP MAN,
Trouble Between Neigbbors in Northern
Wyoming Leads t Shooting.

Trouble Between Neigbbors in Northern
Wyoming Leads t, Shooting.
BILLINGS, May 13.-[Special. News has
been received and verified of shooting in
northern Wyoming near Pat O'Hara creek,
Sunday last, in which a Frenchman named
Albert Caillette was seriously, perhaps
fatally, shot by Hank Chapman. wealthy
rancher and sheep grower of that country.
Caillette is now at Red Lodge in precari-
GUS condition and Chapman gave himself
up to the Wyoming authorities. The par
ticnlars of the shooting, RS told by ths
Frenchman and corroborated by the man
who brought him to Red Lodge, are that
trouble between the two men began about
year ago, Caillette having unlawfully
slaughtered some deer in that
section and left portions of the
carcass to rot. Chapman then
threatened his arrest it he heard of any
more proceedings of like nature. Fol-
lowing close on this, Caillette killed, by
poison or otherwise, two sheep dogs be-
longing to the Chapman outfit. They then
had another row, and the Frenchman
threatened to do Chapman up if he made
any more trouble. Sunday last the shoot
ing took place near one of Chapman's sheep
camp. Caillete approached him on horse
back. when he was riding the range, and
drawing down upon him with a gun, told
him to throw up his hands, at the same
jumping from the off side of
his horse, putting the body
of the horse between himself
and Chapman. Chapman is small but
plucky and instead of weakening, opened
up with Winchester, the first shot going
through Caillette's horse and breaking the
Frenchman's arm. The horse dropped,
but Chapman put two more bullets in the
PROSTATE man and rode away, leaving him
for dead. Some hours after Chapman told
man he met that Caillette was laying out
on the prairie. He then went on and gave
himself up to the nearest justice of the
peace. The man found Caillette and took
him to Red LODGE where he is lying in the
hospital, with small hopes of re-
covery. The Frenchman is re-
ported as having said that he
was only blufing Hank Chapman and he
had no idea he would shoot. Caillette is a
young giant and somewhat green-not long
from the old country. Henry Chapman bears
good reputation and was undoubtedly i'm
pressed with the idea that it was his life or
Caillette's. He is an old timer in Wyo
ming and quite we'll to do.

by fire near Hawthorne last night. At that
point the roar of flames at 8 O'Clock was

turned it i'll another direction. Reports today
from the vicinity of tho fire state that there
IS no further danger to railroad property.
There is apprehension, however, of
further outbreak. The train dispatcher OF

worst of it is there is no prospect of better

Anaconda and Syndicate mines shut down

the Anaconda company, except the pump
men and engineers were paid off and dis
charged. Even the watchmen were let out
and their duties are now discharged by the
foremen, who have no other duties to per

that the work Of construction would begin
at once, but refused to state just yet who
