chases. Wentworth came TO Helena a few
weeks ago. Shortly after his, arrival he got
1 contract from Walter J. King to
out wood at Wolf creek at so
much per cord. Then he went to
Orris' employment agency and left IN
order to have several wood cutters sent out
to work on his contract. Orfis sent four
men, who performed from one to four days
labor cniece, and finding there was no
money coming, they threw up their jobs
and came back to Helena. Meantime
Wentworth had drawn q check in his own
name and presented It ut tbs Home restnu-
his bill there. He got $$225 in chauge
in good United States money. He
also bought Of Ahues Il Gatrell
n number Of cigars. giving them in pay
Iaent a check for B62.7O on the Merchants
National bank. He signed tho check with
this name Of G. Wilson. The firm gave
him $40 in cash for his change All this

their New Years celebration yesterday al
t%ernoon, although the old year waa II thinA
of this past until one o'clock this morning.
The Chinese years date from she time their
emperols ascend he throne. The present.
emperor completed the seventeenth year OF

therefore a movable date with the disoi-
pies of Confucius.
To the small boys of Helena such CON-
monplace details were of small interest
yesterday. They mostly all went to China
town to SEQ tho fun, and they saw it. SO
much Al there Was. 1t consisted princi-
pallv Of setting off irecraoksrs in nnlim-
tied quantities. The celebration lasts four
days.
The present emperor of China was hut

alder Of the two, got Mcdaniel down, and
with one hand on theyoungar mans throat,

Hang says that after ho got Mcdaniel down
he toldths young man that is would call IL
quits il hs would, and stop tho fight. He
says that instead Of answering NcDanisl
drew : pookst knife and opened it and
stabbed him in tho abdomen and

Haag turned, which made the wounds moro
severe than hs intended.
Haag'B wounds consist OF ! cut ovor tho
region Of the heart, the knife blade strik-

The BOYCOTT BUSINESS.
The Baltimore & Onio Resumes Relation

The Baltimore 4 OHIO Resumes Relations
With the Chicago s. Alton.
The Baltimore q Ohio has resumed pas
senger relations with the Chicago Il Alton.
It WAS the first of the eastern lines to begin
selling. Alton tickets after the presidents,
at their meeting in New York, adopted res
olutions declaring the boycott q failure and
permitting the boycotting roads to aban-
don it. The prompt action of the Balti-
more d Ohio in this matter is regarded as
confirmation OF the general opinion that
the management of shat company has never
been in sympathy with the boycott and
only went into the trunk line agreement
for the sake Of harmony. II is understood
that all the roads except the Vanderbilt and
Pennsylvania systems have given notice
that they will Mt once begin selling and
honoring Alton tickets. In the meantime.
however, some of them are suggesting new
schemes for abolishing passenger commits
sions in eastern territory.

This is taken as a practical declina-

candidates, who would have stepped
aside for Mckinney, is not so pleasing
to the delegates who looked upon his
candidature as means of fre eng
themselves from the contest which
now seems sure to take place in the
