UP ALL Three men
The Fate Of Three P%rospectors In
Their Cabin on Indian
Creek.
A Box of Powder, Containing
Twenty Five Pounds Ignited
Some Way.
Only Conjecturas ~ to the Exact Cause
Of the Accident by Which They
We're Killed.

Miners and prospeotors living in the
Indian Creek district. four miles above st.
Louis. were awaksd late sunday night by a
terrific explosion. On investigating rs to
the cause the cabin occupied by three pros
pectols on the right hand fork of Indian
crock, was found to have been blown to
atoms. The men who had occupied ii
were David Burnett. Peter Mcdonald and
Daniel Wallace. Enough OF them was
found to establish their identity and to
show o%onclusively that ell three had been
killed.
The mon owned a prospect near their
cabin. which was Of the usual style occu-
pied by miners working their claims. It
was built of heavy logs against the hill. In
it was two bunks. One Of these was ocou
pied by Mcdonald. Barnett and Wallace
used the other bunk. Between the heads of
tho two hunks was a space where the men
kept their powder, and some distance M
the wall was n shelf on which it Was Gus
tomary to place the light. 1t is not known
whether tho men used a coal oil lamp or Il
candle. If a lamp, the superstition is that
it other exploded or was overturned. If n
candle, it is thought it burned down and
the hot tallow dripped over on to the pow
der. In this space between the hunks and
under the shelf for the light was a box of
safety natural powder, twenty FIVE pounds.
The force of the explosion was terrific.
The roof of the cabin was lifted of and
thrown forty feet. With it vent the body
OF Wallace, who was found in the wreckage
of the roof. The bodies of the other two
men were found in the debris of the cabin,
and SO badly mutilated that it wal difficult
to believe the two masses of flesh had ever
been human beings. The sides Of
the house were knocked out and sven the
logs at the back adjoining the hillside were
broken n Hplintered.
It ia believed the box of powder was I'M
opened at the time Of the explosion, AZ the
man had just bought it. Some of the
n%eighbors we're inclined to think that light
ming struck the cabin and ignited the pow
der, though the men nearest the scene say
they 10 not remember Of there having been
any storm at the time Of the explosion.
Mcdonald had been prospecting in Mon
tana for eight years and was very we'll
known. Little is known of the other men.
All, SO far as can be learned, were unmar-
ried. They had been occupying the cabin
since last fall. A coroner's jury viewed the
bodies, and after hearing some of the testi-
mony, adjourned to the scene Of the aooi.
dent tos examine the cabin, or what is
left of it.

DIVIDING WITH BUTTE.
4 Bill to Transfer Part Of the United
States Court Business
There.
- J
It Has Passed the Senate and
Is Now In the
House.
Demurrer Submitted In the Case Of tbs
Alleged Highwayman Of East Hell E
ena-Dagan's Trial, etc.

A bill introduced BY Col. w. +. Sanders
has passed the United States senate and 10
now in the house Of representatives, to have
part Of the business OF the United States
courts transacted at Butte. The bill cou-
atitutes Beaverhead, Madison and Silver
Bow counties the southern division OF the
district Of Montana. 1t provides that reg
ular terms Of the United States circuit and
district courts for the southern division
may be held at Butte City on the first Tues
day in February and the frat Tuesday in
September of each year. When the court
is sitting at Butte it Is to have the same ju-
risdiction and authority in all civil actions.
pleas or proceedings. and in all proseou-
tions. informations, indictments, or other
criminal or penal matters az when it is in
session in Helena. Where ore or more do
PENDANTS in any civil cause reside in
the southern division. and n or
more of them live outside Of
it. but in the Montana dist lot. the plaintiff
may institute his proceedings either at
Helena or Butte. The act is not TO affect
the jurisdiction, power and authority of the
court rs to actions or prosecutions now
pending. which are to proceed without ref

division. Inc court, however, ia to have
power. in its discretion, to transfer to Butte
such of the pending actions or prosecutions
as might properly have been begun there.
Representative Dixon will nave charge of
the bill in the house, and will no doubt use
his best Efforts to got il through. Its effect
will be to have cases arising in the southern
division tried in Butte. where witnesses are
handy, and all other cases will be disposed
of in Helena. 1t will necessitate Judge
Knowles holding court at Butte during
February and March, and again during
September and October of each year. The
other eight months Of the year he will be In
Helena. 1t will be a great convenience for
Madison and Silver Bow counties. The only
surprise 10 that Deer Lodge county was not
included in the southern division.

Trial Set for TO-DAY,

The trial Of William Dugan. alleged to be
one of the men who assaulted and shot
Policeman Sharrenbroich, is set for to-day
in the district court before Judge Hunt.
Dugan will be defended by Fl. s. Hepner.
His defense will be an alibi. as he claims to
have been at Sand Point at the time. As he
has been unable to get witnesses from that
place to prove his alibi, the court may put
Oft the case in order to allow dispositions to
be taken. If the state fails to prove posi-
lively that Dugan is one of the. men wanted
this delay may not be necessary.

A HISTORY IN A PICTURE,

Artists Swnim's Great Painting Now on
Exhibition In Helena.
Robert Swain, the artist whose brush
produced the we'll known painting OF "Ihe
Prospectors," has just completed another
characteristic picture Of this mining region.
This last production will be particularly
interesting to silver mine prospectors. 1t
is a triple affair, or rather a center piece
and two panels, and the scenes were all
taken from nature. The center piece rep
10 necessarily q picture in heavy shades, re-
lieved by the Pickering light of the candles.
Still the Light is just strong enough to
bring ont the main features Of this simple
subject; the rough sides Of the excavation,
the face of the tunnel, and the anx-
ious seekers after the precious metal.
One Of the men has picked up a piece of
rock in which he no doubt sees rich indi-
cations. He ID holding it in one hand,
while in the other he has q candle by the
light of which he is examining the piece of
rock. The man has dropped his drill near
the broker rock. His companion. hammer
in hand. stands by intently gazing ut the
little piece of rock. The faces of both
show intense interest and anxiety as TO the
probable richness of the streak. Back of
them are other drills and an extra hammer
and shovel. The left hand panel, though
smaller than the center piece, is a study in
itself. Away up on the hill, among the
timber, can be indistinctly seen the little
prospect hole where the lead has been
struck. At the foot of the hill is the en-
trance to the tunnel, the rude log cabin and
the blacksmith shop, and in the foreground
a ripping stream making it's way over a
gradual slope. The right hand panel is a
representation of q scene that will be REC
ognized by most people %acquaint-
ed with this region. A grass
grow valley between green hills
on which sheep are browsing. makes a
pleasant setting for the smelter in the
background, and still further off tho camel
share of a mountain with a growing city
sheltered in the Rulch below. And promi-
nently TO the fore is the notice of location.
The entire conception is good and the exc
cution perfect, No detail has been neglected
shat might lead to the meaning of the
artist. 1t ID a history of silver prospecting
from the location to the striking of paw ore.
The painting has been handsomely framed
and Is now on exhibition at the California
wine house.

September in the district court. He was
charged with robbing the tailor shop Of

one charge, and the acceptance of the ac-
