RECORD Of the COURTS.
Answer to the Mandamus Proceed
ings In the Barnard Brown
Warrant Case.
Two More Indictments Returned
by the united States
Grand Jury.
Hail Forfsited-To Ite Indicted
Under Another Name. Ete.

J.. w. Tottan. counsel for w. ]. Minar,
treasurer Of Chtoeau county, filed in the
supreme court Yesterday his answer to the
Inandamna proceedings instituted by
George II. Cope, assistant cashier Of the
American National bank, to ascertain why
tho 81, 100 warrant Of Barnard Brown had
not bsen paid. He admits the issuance Of
the wa rant in Browns favor for ex pert
services, and that IL was not paid ''for want
of funds" Ihe answer denies. for want of
sufficient evidence to that effect. that the
warrant was ever sold to Cope, or that 1t
was presented for payment in the manner
prescribed BY law. IT also denies that
Brown ever presented to the county com
missionsrs 4 duly certified claim for setv-
ices rendered, but admits that . bill was
presented for services and expenses in ex-
aiming and reporting upon the accounts Of
Chotsau county" with an affidavit from g.
@. Newman, counsel for Barnard Brown, az
TO the correctness Of the account. It adj
mits that the county commissioners en-.
ployed Brown to make q thorough
examination OF the accounts Of
the officers OF Choteau county, but allege
that hs failed to perform that examination,
Az further cause for refusal to pay the war
rant. tho answer cites the fact that w. Fl.
Todd appealed to the court at Fort Benton
against II, claiming that the allowance
WAS excessive, unjust to the county. and
illegal; and that that the court deolared
the warrant vold. The decree made BY
Judge DuBose said that the ''claim Of Bar
nard Brown il illegal and not a proper
charge against the county Of Choteau, and
the action Of the board Of commissioners
in allowing 1t is disapproved, reversed and
set aside" Tho decree further declared
the warrant issued BY the commissioners to
be void and ordered it cancelled. In CON
clusion tho answe declares that 'the said
county order or warrant, illegally issued by
said board AZ aforesaid, was obtained by
said Barnard Brown through false repre-
s~sntation''; and that ''ths county attorney
Of Chotesu is ready and willing to join
Barnard Brown or any legal interviewer, in
moving the district court to set aside the
Judgment and reopen the case, to the end
that tho value Q. the services alleged to
have been performed. may be proven and
determined; which services, il they are Of
any value to the county, are not worth
more than $500. and never have been."

Indians Not Barred.

Frank Pias, indicted by the United Aon1es
grand jury for selling liquos to Indians,
entered a demu rer in the United States
court Yesterday. The grounds of the de.
murfer were that the Law only applied tc
the sale of liquor by white men, and as
Pias IS an Indian, he was not affected, The
law was hunted up and it was found that il
was as much an otfense for an Indian tic
sell whisky to his own race as it was for a
white man. The demurrer was overruled
and Pas will plead to-day.

Jim Cerbett. the man who is matched to
fight Sullivan for a purse of $4b, 900, will
be IN Helena Thursday evening. An az
change has the following interview:
D you think you can whip Sullivan?"
he WAS asked.
Il never thought about it. 1 am simply
going to try. | may surprise. Sullivan the
same as he surprised the friends of Paddy
Ryan at Mississippi City in 1881. There Is
this much that gives ms confidence. Sui
Ivan never licked jack Burke, Dominiok
McCaff1ey nor Charley Mitchell. Flo says
he wasn't i'll condition when he fought
them. That's got nothing to do with the
case. It WAS his business to he in condi-
ton. | had u set-to with Dominlck Me-
Ca1frey, and simply played with him. l
think I can easily defaat Mitchell and
Burke, who fought draws with Sullivan. I
do hope that Sullivan is in the best of CON
dition when he meets me in the ring Mt
New Orleans, and nc matter how the fight
goes there will be no kick coming from me
on the pround of condition.
Now, l admire John Sullivan, and al
ways have. He IL governed by strong preiu-
dices, however, and int bear the thought
of another man making Il fight for the
claim of world chnmpionship. John doesn't
think much of me, / can see that. But /
hope he won't hold me so cheap that he
will think that training is not worth the

Prof. Boss Says It's Going Away from Ui
and is Now $50, 900, 600 Miles Distant.
ALBANY, Nov. 21-Prof. Lewis Boss,
of the Ludley University, who has been
watching the comet, whose alleged near
approach to the earth has aroused the
apprehensions of the nervous and timid,
says that he is satisfied that the cele.
brated celestial wanderer with the nebu'
lous caudal appendage is not only not the
Biela comet but that it is not even trav.
cling in the track OF the Biela comet, as
was first supposed.
Moreover, Prof Boss says that while
he has not been able as yet to fix the
orbit of the comet, he is satisfied that,
instead of approaching the earth at the
rate of 700 miles a second, and that night
before last it was only II 10000 miles
away, the comet is actually going away
from the earth, and is now about 250,
900, 600 miles away.
As far as he can ascertain at present
the comet is new one and is unknown

ADOPT the policy Of Free.Trade,
close up the American mills, offer
Europe 100000 more bales of cotton
than she is prepared to manufacture,
and the staple will go. down and re-
main there until mills can be built in
Europe to work it up. Your popula-
tion of operatives will follow the mills,
and the diversified products of your
farms will cease to have a market.
Instead Of bringing to America 200
dollars for the manufactured product
of bale of cotton you will bring 25
dollars for the raw material, and
thereby contribute to the payment OF
foreign labor, neglecting your own,
and assuring the balance Of trade
against the United States.

WHICH is better: For the farmers
to leave their farms and go temporarily
to other employments in dull times, or
for the mill operatives to leave their
mills and go permanently to farming?
Would the farmer be benefited by the
consequent increase of competition
and the loss of consumers Anything
tending to check manufactures would
bring about this condition.

HIS QUADRUPLE CRIME
Terrible Deed of an Insane
German in Chicago.
HE NARROWLY ESCAPED LYNCHlN c

Hermann siegler Shot wife, Mother-in-
Law, Father-in- Law, and Policeman
Two Dead, the Others Probably Fatally
Hurt-An Angry Crowd Attempts ts
Kill the Assassin.
CHICAGO, Nov 21.-The later annals OF
Chicago can record no more horrible
crime nor one accompanied by more sem
sational details than that which broueh
death into a two-story frame cottage in
the northwestern part of this city last
evening By the acts of a man. who is
said by some to be insane, double muir
der was committed, two people seriously
if not fatally wounded and the murderer
narrowly escaped violence at the hands of
a thousand citizens who live near the
scene of the tragedy.
Herman 5eigler, German, lived with
his wife and three children at the resi-
dence of his wife's parents, Henry and
Caroline Sles on Paulina street. Moth
ing unusual was noticed in his actions
until yesterday afternoon, when, gun in
hand, he entered the parlor where his
wife and children were. One of the
scream.
Mrs Siles, the mother-in-law, hurried
into the room and as she entered Segler
attempted to elevate the gun DIS though
he intended to shoot her. She rushed up
to him and throwing her arms about his
neck, tried to take the gun from him.
He pushed the aged woman aside
violently, then he raised the shot gun
and pointing the barrel almost directly
against her left breast fired before she
could offer any resistance.
She sank TO the floor dead. Mrs.
Siegler, in the meantime, had carried
the children to the house of a neighbor,
and on returning encountered her hus-
band, who fired at her, several of the shot
taking effect in her neck and breast.
The noise down stairs aroused Mr..
Siles, and he descended into the hallway.
AS he stepped from the lower step
Siegler met him. Again raising the gun,
which he had previously reloaded, he
fired. Mr.. Siles received the full charge
at close range
1t is believed that Siegler then dis
charged the other barrel of mis- gun in his
father-in-law's face, for portions of his
neck and right cheek were torn away.
BY this time crowd had gathered out
| SlQe, ana as OluCeI olmOuSOu came III
Siegler appeared in the doorway. The
people fell back, aud as the officer drew
his revolver he ordered Siegler to surren-
| der.
The latter's reply was shot from his
gun, but he shot high. Simonson re-
turned the fire, and Siegler staggered
back with bullet in his side. He sue
ceeded in firing another shot, which
slightly wounded the officer, before h.
was overpowered.
AS Segler was being taken to TIN
patrol wagon threats of violence wer
heard on every hand and number OF re
volvers were drawn by citizens who wer
anxious to get hold OF the murderer
Repea tedly Siegler was struck by me
whose interference could not be preyente
By the police.
Siegler was at last placed in the WACO
and the horses We're whipped into ga
lop. AT the station he made statemeu
which was short, incoherent and indies
tive of insanity. He was afterwards take
to the hospital. The extent of h
wounds is not known.
