The Murderer Of Woman Struck
Dead by Bolt From the Clouds.

The Murderer of Woman Struck
Dead by Bolt From the Clouds.
From the Helena Independent
During a terrific electric storm In Yellow
stone county about the middle Of July a
man who went by the name of Horace
Moore was struck by lightning and killed.
He Is believed to have been the principal in
the murder of Mrs. John O. Greenwood
near Napa, Cal, on Feb. 9, 1891. His &C.
complete In the murder was Carl Schmidt.
who was captured at Billings few days
ago.
A. ]. jackson, who lives on Folsom creek,
drove to Lavina in a wagon drawn by four
horses to make some purchases and to en-
gage an extra man for his sheep ranch.
These errands successfully accomplished,
jackson started on his way homeward.
When about fifteen miles beyond Lavina
storm almost unprecedented in violence
in the state broke upon them, and jackson
and his hired man goo out to quiet the
horses, standing at the heads OF the Leaders,
The rain came down in torrents, and the
men sheltered themselves under the one
waterproof coat, holding the horses at the
same time. A vivid fash. a crash, and
there were no signs Of life about that lone
some road. About two hours later A. J
Jackson recovered from the shock The
sun was then shining brightly, but there
beside him was the blaokened corpse of his
companion, and behind him were the
horses, all dead. jackson tottered to his
feet and managed to drag himself to Stay
tons ranch, a mile and half distant, and
there secured help to get to Lavina and
care for the dead man and the abandoned
load.
1t was only after his death that suspicious
facts came to light which led to a close in
vestiRation Of the man brought to final judg-
ment by the act of God. When engaged by
Jackson the man gave the name of Horace
Moore, and it has since been learned that
he had been working in the neighborhood
of Lavina for sometime previous to me ting
Jackson, and that he arrived there with a
band of sheep from Washington. After a
thorough examination of the person Of the
deceased and his recent movements, the
sheriff says there is no doubt that Moore is
the man who, In conjunction with Carl
Schmidt, murdered Mrs. Greenwood. The
description sent out by the authorities of
Napa county tallleS to the smallest detail
with that OF the deceased. even to the broken
front tooth. Moore's handwriting is also
the exact counterpart Of that contained in
the circular. and which Is said to be- that of
the murderer OF Mrs. Greenwood, aud this
similarity is conspicuously noticeable in he
signature of Moore. The body was buried
where Moore met his DEATH

the results pretty to look at, but they serve
their chief purpose better, for any engrsver

far more difficult to initiate than any purely

those issued in France and Prussia. Here is
pretty Austrian bill for 100 forms, printed
In blue ink with the design mainly com

point OF view for the ornamentation of cur
