There ID a new star in the farce comedy
armament, and its rays will be shed upon
Helena audiences on Friday and Saturday
evenings of this week. The debutante is
that sparkling little impersonator of juvs-
nile roles, Marie Heath. who is 80 pleas
antly remembered for her vivacity in the
Swedish play, "Ole Olson" She, with a
company of clever people. will appear in a
play especially writtan for Miss Heath,

Miles, H. Barrymore, Matt Shelley, lula
Mayhem, Jessie Olivier and others.
1t is in three acts, u dip, a sweat and a

psrIng With the Mails.
The United States grand jury will meet
at the county court house at 10 a. m. to-
day. United States Attorney Weed and his
assistant, John Mcdonald, will nave con-
siderable to do for several weeks in appear
ing before the jury and III the trial of Grim
inal cases before Judge Knowles. There
are quite a lumber of cases to be brought
before the grand jury. Charlie Bell Boy,
a Nsz Perce Indian, now in the Lewis and
Clarke county jail. is held for Indictment
on the charge of killing another Indian OF
the Flathead reservation with an axe. The
killing grew out Of a quarrel over a girl.
Three Bears, or Charlie Burgess, is under
arrest for stealing a pony on the Fort
Keogh military ressrvasion. There are
four cases of selling whisky to Indians,
one against Otto Ludigan, who was arrested
near Kalispell, William Thomas, of Miles

Zack Sales will have to explain why he
left a lot OF law books in an old warehouse
in Missoula county instead of delivering
them. He carried the mail over a route
running out of Missoula. The books were
They were heavy and Sales dumped them in
the warehouse, whore an inspector found
them. Another gentleman connected with
mail affairs will p obably not be here when
the jury meets. He is VIM. Brown, who
escaped from the Lewis and Clarke county
Jail about eight weeks ago. His partner,
Henry Ward. did not accompany him. The
mon were arrested for cutting open a mail
pouch at Butte. Mrs. Amelia d. Barnum

CANNON AND THE N. r.

- -" "L
Hearing In the Injunction Case To-Mor-
row Before Judge Knowles.
Some days ago G. w. Cannon began a
suit in Justice Fleischer's court against the
railroad company for forcible entry and
detainer. Then the attorneys of the conn.,
pany appeared before United States Dis
trict Judge Knowles, in chambers, and
secured an order restraining MI. Cannon
from further prosecuting his suit in
Fleischer's court until the hearing of n mo-
tion in the United States circuit court for
an injunction. Mr.. Cannon holds a United
States mineral patent to the ground, which
tho company says he procured by fraud in
the United States land office in Helena some
years ago. One night last summer q spe.
cial agent of the railroad company
went on the land with a crew
of railroad hands. Tho following
morning the entire track had q fence
around it and was in the possession Of the
railroad company. Men in the employ of
the railroad are now living on the land and
holding possession. A short time before
the hurried fence building tho company
had q suit in the United States circuit
court before Judge Knowles i'll which he
made n ruling that probably led to the
fencing in OF the land. Judge Knowles
held that the railroad company could not
maintain an action to quiet the title to the
land unless it we're in possession of the
premises.

Tricks That Are Vain"

The Celestial Has a Way of Work
ing the Exclusion
Act.
Cases for the United States Grand Jury
Which Meets In Helena To-day
CannOn's Case.

The old saying that ii takes q Greek to
outwit a jew ought to be changed. Some
OF the treasury department officers are be-
ginning to realize that tho Chinese exclu-
sion act needs some more tinkering by the
solons at Washington before 1t is . perfect
instrument. Several weeks ago eight Chi
namen were brought before United States
District Judge Knowles ut Helena and had
a hearing on q charge of violating the OK
clusion act. They came In q wagon from
Canada into Montana. and were discovered
one night by an officer in the light from a
bolt Of lightning which killed tho driver Of
the wagon. The testimony convinced the
judge that the celestials came into the
United States from Canada. Ono of the
mon claimed to have lived in Montana for
several years and that he was on his way to
New York when arrested. All of them
were ordered taken to San Francisco and
turned over to the collector of the port for
shipment to China. It is we'll known that
at least one of them admitted to the officers
On the way TO San Francisco that he had
lived in Montana and Joined the party from
Canada in order to get free transportation
to China.
At about this season of the year the Chi
nese who have gained sufficient money in
the United States begin to return. Their
desire is to reach their native land during
the season of religious festivities. In order
to secure free passage they send their
money by mail to China and then set about
securing the intervention of the United
STATES. Different methods are pursued.
Sometimes they 90 boldly enough to Brit
ish Columbia and then return to the United
States quite as boldly, and, Of course, are
arrested. When arrested they make no
defense, and there is nothing for the court
to do but to order their deportation, which
United States. Such is believed to be thu
case with thirteen celestials arrested at
Port Townsend last Tuesday. They are be-
lieved to be and the officers expect to show
that they have been employed in the
woods of Skagit county as laborers
and that they are not only. not
recent arrivals but they have been in this
country for many years. Whether the otti-
c,rs will be able to prove this or not is an
they had recently arrived from Victoria,
and therefore, under the law. they are sub
ject to deportation. 1t is the belief of Off
oers of the treasury department that there
is Il regularly organized conspiracy among
the Chinese to secure free passage to their
native empire by taking advantage of the
exclusion act.
the United States who under the last act of
congress may be allowed to return to China
and again enter this country. They are
professional men, students, merchants and
off GERS of the government. To this class
there is no object in resortinR to the tactics
pursued by their countrymen who are
under the ban of the United States law.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The story of ~'Incog." il that of a young
man, Tom Stanhope, who, being driven
from the hotels where they are stopping by
his father for refusing to marry his ward,
and persisting in his determination to
marry the wards companion, determines to
return "incog.," 80 as to be near the object
of his affections. To this end he DISCUSSES
himself after a photograph which he has
picked up. This photograph is that of
Dick Winters, one OF a pair of twin brothers,
who n be distinguished from one
another by their most intimate friends.
Dick has been confined for some time in a
private sanitarium. in order to cure him of
a slight affection of the brain. which pre-
vents him from recognizing any one, not
even his own wife and children, who are
action takes place.
Dick has just been discharged cured from
tho sanitarium and is on his way to his
family. BY a singular coincidence the
other brother, Harry, is engaged to = young
lady, also a guest of the hotel, and having
just returned from a trip abroad, is on his
way to see her. Tom arrives first under the
alias of Jack Darling, and concocts a
scheme with his father, who does not SUB
poet his identity, to win the hand of the
companion. Kate Armitage, and thus check
mate Tom. just az he is getting on FAM
'ously, and has revealed his identity to Kate,
Mrs. Winters enters and claims him as her
husband. while the children cling to him
affectionately, and hail him as papa"
This to the intense amusement of Kate, who
understands the situation, but the conster-
nation of the father, old General Stanhope;
and the rage of the general may be i'm
agined when Miss Somers claims him as her
intended and Mrs. Winters as her husband.
The two women have a regular set-to.
Next comes Dick, whom Kate mistakes for
Tom and procesds to embrace violently,
when enter Mrs. Winters and Mrs. Somers
and a triangular fight is waged over the
unfortunate man. Harry comes last and
is also made the victim Of similar mistakes,
and from that time on ensuss a series of
amusing situations. As will readily be
seen by the foregoing, Mrs. Paoheco has
evolved a play on the plan of The Private
Secretary, All the Comforts of Home, Mr..
Wllkinson's Widows and the other great
comedy successes of the day. and this is
the style of play which creates fun with
out horseplay and is likely to become quite
popular. The sale of seats for 'Incog'' is
very large for the performance this even
ing.

HOW CHINESE WERE SLAUGHTERED.
DETAILED CONFESSION OF WHOLESALE MURDER
IN OREGON FOUR YEARS AGO.

DETAILED CONFESSION OF WHOLESALE MURDER
IN OREGON FOUR YEARS AGO.
San Francisco, Sept 90 (speGal)-The country was
startled four wears ago by the report that the bodies OF
twenty-one Chinese had como floating down Snake
River IN Idaho All the bodies bore marks OF gun
shot wounds, and 1t was plain that some terlole
tragedy had occurred on the head waters OF Snake
River which was then favorite resort OF desperadoes
and cattle thieves. All efforts TO secure any facts IN
regard TO the fate of these Chinese proved futile and
IA was not until to-day that the mystery was cleared
ND by the receipt, at the Chinese Consulate In san
Francisco of the confession Of the father OF one OF the
murderers Hugh Mcmillan. now OF Wala Walia
Wash, but formerly of wallula County Ore, makes
an affidavit stating that the following facts were given
him by his son Robert, aged sixteen Just before nus
death. and committed to writing at the time. The
main facts of this confession are as follows:
ain April 1887 my Robert, Bruce Evans, J. Il
Garfield, Nav Larue Frank Vaughan, Hiram Maynard
and Carl Hughes in cattle camp about four miles
from Snake River. One day the whole party
started for the Chinese camp They were armed WIFI
pistols and Winchester rifles. Thirteen Chinese were
in CAMP The white men divided into two parties, and
at a given signal fired upon the unarmed Mongollans
Twelve were killed and thrown into the river. Then
the murderers proceeded to rob the camp. They
secured five sacks Of gold dust, each worth S1,1oo
One Chnaman was wounded and escaped.
aThe next day Evans and Vaughn started out 10 see
what had become Of him, they feared he would
suread the story Of the crime They found him trying
TO escape in a boat but they overhauled him and
dashed out his brains. Then they went 10 the Chinese
camp and az they reached II they saw eight Chinese
coming down the river in boat. They let them land,
and. being Joined by Garfield and Larue, all four
opened fire on the coolies and killed them. Their
bodies were also tossed into the river.
- Ihe four men then went up the river TO another
camp where thirteen Chinese were mining on the bar
The same tactics before pursued the four men
shooting down the defeDoeess Chinese like dogs The
bodies were cast into the river The camp vas looted
"afy son was only present at the first murder, but
he Knew all the facts apd told them as have written
them The scene Of the tragedy was on the Oregon
side OF the Snake River, In Wallula County,
VioeConsul Bee win send translation Of this con-
feson to the Chinese Government, and believes steps
will DO taken capture and punish any OF the muir
derers who may be living The number killed In this
case makes 1t rval the Rock Springs Massacre.
