ACCIDENTALLY KILLED..
The Grand Jury Discharge Sylvester
James Who Shot a Fellow
Soldier.
Trial of Fitzgerald Who Was
Caught by the Police In q
"Holdup."
Marrow Escape OF Undersheriff Hoss From
Being shot by Deputy Marshal
Warren Evans.

Sylvester James. formerly a private in
the United States army. and now an active
member of the Salvation army in Helena
was discharged yesterday by the United
States grand jury. Jamss WAS charged
with killing another soldier at Fort Keogh
last May. There was no question about 1t.
but from the evidence produced before tho
grand jury they found that it was acoi-
dental and %exonerated James. At the time
of the accident James WAS examining a
pistol in one of the barracks at the fort
which was nearly full Of men. A soldier
named Lush approached James and wanted
to look at the pistol. In some way while
the men were close to each other the pistol
was discharged. The bullet struck a SOL
dier named Calvin Il. Darnall, making a
wound in the stomach from which he soon
died. Darnall was lying on his bunk about
six feet away. 1t was contrary to orders to
have a pistol in the barracks and United
States District Attorney Weed thought that
an example should have been made of
James, but the jury thought differently.
Darnall left a wife and three small
children. James 10 a tall young man who
may be seen marching on Main street with
the Salvation army when it turns out. He
belonged to the Twenty-second infantry
and under a recent law bought" himself
ont of the army after a years service.
One of the witnesses before the case was
Sergeant Frey, of Cagey's Indian scouts. who
went to Pine Ridge. The sergeant was not
with Lieut.. Casey when he was shot by one
of the hostiles, but was one of the party
which rescued Casey's body.

A Night of Mirth at N,inr,s.

1t was a warm welcome that John T.
Kelly. the incompatible Irish comedian. re-
ceived from tue OVERLOOKING audience as
sembIed at Maguire's theater last evening.
The house was packed from pit to dome and
standing room was at n premium, says the
Butte Miner. The audience went prepared
to see the most humorous Irish comedian
of the day, and to see and listen to a roll
lickirg comedy in which the aforesaid
Irishman was the central figure, and It was
not disappointed. Humor oozed from Mo
Fee Of Dublin at every movement and sent
the audience into commissions. His sing
ing was a revelation and the audience never
tired of it. but recalled him again and
again.
There is no need to enlarge on the merits
of the comedy. 1t captured the large audi
ence that witnessed it, and it's fame will be
heard on all sides to-day, assu ing another
packed house tonight, If anyone ia suffer-
ing from the blues and needs an antidots,
all that ia necessary ia to get a seat at tho
theatei tonight, laugh with those around
you and throw care to the winds.

Last Election.
Though Montana has used the Australian
ballot system nj three state elections. and
the superstition waa that every voter knew
how to mark his ballot. many funny things
showing the ignorance Of voters have come
out since Tuesday, Nov. s. A gentleman
from Fergus county tells Of an EnQIishman
who voted at Iewistown. The voter secured
his ballot from the judges, went into q
booth and only remained q few minutes.
One OF the judges remarked that IL did not
take him long, n the Englishman replied:
- voted the straight r0l uhliean ticket"
Inquiry afterward developed ths fact that
the voter had carefully Sustained from
making any mark whatever upon his bal
lot surprising that he was thus voting the
straight republican ticket"
Over in silver Bow at ono of the Butte
precincts among the ballots handled by the
judges WAS one in which every man had
been marked. In one of tho Helena pre-
oinots u man spent an hour and q half in a
booth. As he handed his ballot to the
judge no RENT ked that he had fixed those
id democrats" 1t alto wards developed
that he had carefully put an X after the
name of every republican and every popu-
list on the ticket.
Another curious thing has developed on
the presidential electors. 1t will be noticed
ON an examination of the vote by precincts
that often Cooper. Hall and Ballad, the
hrst electors on each OF these tickets run
from one to three ahead of their fellow
electors. 1t has been discovered that this
comes from the fact that soma voters only
marked the fl at name in each group, and in
some OF the precincts the judges counted it
only for the nun after whose name the
GLOSS was placed. instead Of counting it for
the group of electors rs the vote intended
ID should, and rs the law contemplated,
when IL provided That the presidential cleo
tors OF each party houid be grouped on the
ticket.
Another curious fact ia evident when the
returns are studied by precincts, and that
is the Legislative candidates elected in this
county, with one exception. are those whose
names begin with b, G or d, and also that
the Bs and Ga got the highest votes. II will
be remembered that the ballot cad vote
for eight" on the Legislative ticket. There
were twenty-four names on it, but many
people took the instruction to moan the
first eight and that liz the way they voted.
At ono precinct in Helena there were
twenty-five ballots on which the fl st eight
legislative candidates were followed by II
cross, while the rest of the candidates voted
for were either straight democrats or repub-
licans.
