A HEIHART CUTTING AFFRAS.


Two Bridge Carpenters Engage in II Right
One Gets Cut,
A. Cronkitc arrived in town Thursday
afternoon on the train from Neihart. and
from all appearances had evidently been
roughly handled. There was quite "A cut
over one of his eyes. and a bad cash
in his back. He is going to Helena TO-
day for medical treatment.
From what could be learned from
Neihart parties the fight in which he re
ceived the ugly cuts took place in the
camp Tuesday evening. Cronkite got
mixed into a drunken row IN which from
all that can be heard about the matter
he had no right 10 interfere. lie was
told to mind his own business. but in
stead of following that ancient but APP
propriate suggestion he got a friend
10 help him and the two started TO
''do up a man named Crawford. who
was also implicated in the row. The
two chased the latter as far as the post
Office. where Cronkite knocked him
down and while holding him in that
position dealt him some hard blows.
Crawford yelled for mercy, but as
none came from his oppo.
nent he drew a knife and
cut Cronkite in the head and body. The
crowd separated the men and soon had
Crawford under arrest for assault with a
deadly weapon. He was tried the next
day. but as the evidence all went to
show he acted in self defence he was
acquitted. Both Cronkite and Craw,
ford are bridge carpenters who WORKED
on the Ncihcrt branch and expected tt
go to Butte to work ON the spur to the
B. n NJ. mine.

Why Dr. Prices Baking Powder is
Superior to all others.

No great efforts are made by other manufacturers
to procure and use pure materials.
1t is true that one other company has the facilities
but its greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to use
ammonia. in order to swell its profits. Hence the Price
Baking Powder Company stands alone in its fight for a pure
baking powder.
No other article of human food receives greater care
in its production, or has attained higher perfection. IT.
Prices Cream is surely a perfect baking powder. Free from
every faint of impurity. No other article used in the
kitchen has so many steadfast friends among the house
wives of America.

4 New Line TO San Francisco said to he
backed by James Hill.


The most startling developments in
the history of the mysterious railroad
operations that have been in progress
and ccntering at Sioux City. Iowa. for
two or three years past have been made
public. A long statement is printed
purporting to be from Agent Lamar,
who has been investigating the matterfor
several months and has positive infor
nation on the subject. lie says that
the Vinona a. Southwestern. the Pacific
Short Line and the Pueblo Il Duluth are
all projects Of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma Il Wcstc H.. Lackawanna was origin
ally organized 10y the Barring Bros, OF
London. The Earrings were backing the
LackaWanna IN AN lmmensc scheme to
Euiid a system from Philadelphia to san
Francisco, and the roads named were all
parts OF the contemplated system. Work
was progressing IavOrahly on all the
links when the Earrings got 50 seriously
squeezed in the Argentine crash. WOTi

pendtd. and it is Il fact that nothing has
been done ON the projects named since
that time. Since then the Barring house
has been ~rcOrganiZrd and the arrange
mcnts are completed for rcsuming work

far west as Osagr. in northern iowa. A
this point the Winona Il Southwestern

that arrangements are made for lcttins
the new road into San Francisco by wa

tremendous monopoly which the south

1t has long been known that j. j, Hi

Now, whatever power ia conferred by
that express declaration in tho Con-

understood by our forefutlIers to be
too important to DO longer entrusted
to the States composing the Union;
hence they took it away from the

possessed it, before the formation Of

that Congress should have tho power
