THE CANVASS TODAY

All the Returns Are Now in From Lewis
and Clarke County.
The delayed returns from Dearborn Can
yon precinct reached Helena at five p. M.
yesterday. The large envelope in which
they are sealed bears the mark of Bradford,
a new postoffice in the canyon. This little
precinct, whore TWENTY-FIVE votes were reg
istered, has delayed the official count sor
some days. All of the other predincts in
the county reached the county clerks office
in good season. The county canyassing
board. which is composed of the county
commissioners, the county clerk and one OF
the judges Of the district court, probably
Judge Buck, will proceed with the official
count to-day. 1t is hardly probable that it
will be completed this evening. In Silver
Bow county the canvassers started last
Monday on the official returns and were
not through yesterday.
1t ia more than probable that some of the
interested parties will ask for a recount III
both precincts of the first ward. There are
several different stories afioat in regard to
the count In those precincts. One 10 to the
effect that there are. a dozen unofficial bal
lots in the box in one of the precincts. An
other allegation is that in one of the pre-
cincts one judge and one clerk did all of the
work during a portion of the time, and
that there was no watch on them. There is
a strong feeling, both among republicans
nj democrats, that there should be a re-
count, and undoubtedly a movement to-
wRrd that end will be inaugurated.
Private advices from Custer county yes
terday were to tile effect that Swift, repub-
lican candidate for the legislature, was only
ahead of Sheetz. democrat. by twenty-five
votes. and that thirteen y %ecincts, with a
total registration of 245 votes, had yet to he
heard from. The precincts to lie heard
from are said to be strongly democratic.

A KNIGHT OF THE ROAD.

On Trial for Holding Up a Man Last Sep
tember.
Brian Fitzgerald was ON trial in the dis
srict court yesterday for attempting to
''holdup" a barber named Laurimore on
Sept. 80 last, near the Steamboat block.
Police Sergeant Callahan received informa-
tion before the attempted robbery that
Fitzgerald. who had been in town before,
had returned and was up
to some mischief. Policemen Barrett
and Martin in citizens clothing
and Detective Finnegan were detailed on
the case. They found Fitzgerald lettering
block with another suspicious character
and watched them. The officers concealed
themselves, Martin getting behind the
largo bill board at the junction of Main
street and Helena avenue. Soon they
heard a man coming Town Main street. He
passed the bill board and had reached the
open space between it and the German
hotel when Fitzgerald stepped up to him
with a revolver and ordered HIM to throw
up his hands. The officers jumped from
their hiding places and surrounded Fitz-
gerald. He started in the direction of the
old placer diggings and ian into Barretts
arms. ~FitZgerald's partner escaned. The
barber took fright when he saw the officers
approach. thinking they were In the same
business, and fed. He Was pursued by
FinneQan for a distance, but was too good
a Splinter for the detective. The next day
when Lanrimore read the account in the
papers he made himself known to the po-
lice. The jury went out day after
noon with instructions to bring in a sealed
verdict in case they agreed before morning.

Didn't Know 1T W as Loaded.

Yesterday morning Deputy United States
Marshal Warren Evans went into Sheriff
Jefferis' Office at the court house. On the
desk where Undersheriff Hoss was writing
lay Il revolver which was taken away from
Brian FITZGERALD when attempting to "hold
up'' Laurimore. Evans picked up the
pistol and asked where it came from. Hoss
told him it had been used in evidence in
the Fitzgerald trial. Evans snapped it, the
hammer striking on an empty chamber.
The next one was loaded and went off when
Evans pulled the trigger the second time.
The bullet must have gone very close to the
undershefiff's head, for he felt the powder
ON his neck. The bullet went into the
woodwo k near the fireplace. The noise of
the shot created some excitement for a few
minutes among those in the building who
heard it. Hoss and Evans were alone in
the office OF the time.

Stafford Springs. March 2d. 1892.

\ WOULD invite the attention to holders of my photo checks as to my rates, so that there may be no mis- understanding. There seems to be in- qulries regarding the number of sit tings l give with the check system. It is my rule to give one sitting and an extra charge of 50 cents for all re sittings, and it is my custom to make all the sittings required by the most. fastidious customer for $3.50.
 As it has been misunderstood by some, have concluded to compro- mise with all who have checks By paying 50 cents extra.rI will make as many sittings as is necessary. This price IS very much below my regular rate, and I am convinced that 1t will meet with your hearty approval. I must admit that where there are more than one sitting the chances are very favorable to getting better results.
 My terms are, then, $2.50 for one sitting only, or by paying 50 cts. extra I make as many sittings as is necessary to please, and secure the best effects.
 Very truly yours,
 C.. M. BOLTON.

 From now on we shall be trimming as fast as we can. Just before Easter everybody will come at once. Why not take this friendly hint?
