SLICK MAN. FROM TEXAS
He Tried to Work Chief Justice
Pemberton and Got
Left.
Called Judge Cullen Out OF His
Bathtub and Secured Ten
Dollars. Ct
Said He Killed n Colored Man in Butte for
Insulting Him., Which Was
Not True.

Ayoung man with a small dark nous
taohe And pleasant manners has been MAX
ing the acquaintance Of several profess
sional gentlemen in Helena lately. 1t is
probable that the number IL legion. Tho
young man made his appearance in the
city about a week ago at the residence Of
Hon. w. E. Cullen, on the west side. AIR.
Cullen takes q great deal of interest In
young men and has many times helped a
struggling one along, not only with good
advice but with cash. 1t may be that
this particular young man knew Of this
trait in M. Cullen's character. There are
several incidents in his experience here
which make it quite evident that he sized
up the town before beginning operations.
MIR. Cullen was in his bath room when the
young man called, and he hurried up
and got into n bath ODE and vent into the
room where the caller was waiting. He
had just come from Butte and had expected
to meet Judge Dudley DuBose here but had
learned that the judge had zone to Great
Falls. He was in trouble and needed $40.
He looked to DO hons.. and Mr..
only had So and he borrowed the
balance from Mrs. Cullen and handed the
young man tho money and asked him what
his trouble was. He said he had been in
Butte and went into Harris restaurant one
day. After being at a table a few minutes
a big colorsd man took a seat next to him.
This did not please him. and he got up and
asked the proprietor if he allowed such
things. The colored man arose and ap-
preached the counter where the two men
were talking. The young man sa id he
started to leave the place when the colored
man put his foot against ths door and
would not allow him to leave and at the
same time gave him a tongue flashing. The
Young man said he took it without resent
ment and shortly afterwards left the res
taurant. When he got outside he made up
his mind that he would make the colored
belts law Office where he got a gun and
an apology. but did not intend to shoot the
man. Instead Of apologlzing the colored
man ATTEMPTED to strike him and in the ex-
element the revolver was discharged and
the man fell dead at his feet. After telling
this story the young man left Mr.. Cullen's
house with the $40 and some good advice.
The next morning Mr.. Cullen looked in the
papers for an account of the shooting at
Butte and OF cou Sc found none. Mr.. Gull
len tells the story IN himself.

berton heard it IN George proule's office at

THE SPANISH cARAvELs

Arrive at Chicago and Are Accorded n
Royal Reception Greeted With BOOM
Ing Cannon, Ringing Bells and Shouts OF
Vast Multitude.
CHICAGO, July S.-With the colors of
Spain and the discoverer of America
flying from their mast-heads, the es-
corting fleet of United States vessels,
steam and sail yachts, schooners and
excursion steamers sighted the Column
bus caravels, Santa Maria, Pinta and
Nina north of Evanston at 1O:45 o'clock
yesterday morning. Five minutes later
salute of twenty-one guns was fred
from the howitzers on board the Uni
ted States revenue cutter Andrew John
son and the United States man-of-war
Michigan. The fire tug Cataract saluted
with streams of water. The steam
yacht Argo also joined in the cannon
ade. The counterpart of Columbus
fleet was lying in tow Of the Hecla.
When it was sighted the revenue cutter
Johnson broke out the colors of Spain
and Columbus at the mastheads, but
the Michigan did not fly the Spanish
colors until it reached the city.
All of the craft were profusely deco
rated with flags of all nations the
larger vessels being decked out In rain
bow form. When off the city break
water the Michigan took the caravels
in tow from that point to Jackson park.
Slow time was made after the Michi-
gan began to tow the quaint little YES
sells into the port which will be their
home until the close of the fair. When
the domes of the white city broke up
on the vision of Capt. Concas, standing
on the deck of the Santa Maria, he was
lost in admiration. From the Iowa
building at the north end of the park
to the Casino and pier on the south
were to be seen continuous masses of
human beings with eyes cast lakeward
at the gayly decorated caravels and
their modern escorts. At distance
the mass of human forms looked like a
black fringe outlined in sharp contrast
against the white structures Of the
fair At least 100000 people welcomed
the caravels to the exposition.
All of the military and naval repre-
sentatives were in full uniform and the
committee of reception presented a
brilliant and impressive appearance.
Upon the approach of Capt. Concas,
Director General Davis stepped for
ward and, grasping and wringing his
hand extended to him and his officers
a hearty welcome to the worlds Co
lumbian exposition. Indroductions to
the officers and of these to the mem
bers of the reception committee were
next in order, after which the entire
! party took possession of the grand
stand, in front of which 10000 people
had gathered. After a selection by the
band, Director General Davis intro
duced Capt. Concas to the audience and
requested Senator John Sherman, who
sat upon his right, to make the ad
dress Of welcome.
Senator Sherman, who was heartily
applauded, responded in an appropri
ate and patriotic address.
When the senator concluded, Capt
Concas made a brief but appropriate
reply. Secretary Herbert was called
for and also made a short address
Several other addresses were delivered
and the demonstration concluded will
cheers for Capt Concas and his unique
craft.

Got Beyond Their Depth.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July s.-George
Carroll, aged 25, and George Hale, aged
10 years, were drowned in the Wabash
river last evening. Hale and his sister,
aged 10 years, were wading in the river
and got beyond their depth. Their
struggles and screams attracted the at
tention Of George Carroll, who lives
near the river. The young man with
out disrobing went TO the rescue. He
soon succeeded in getting the girl TO a
place OF safety. The boy struggled, maxi
ing IL impossible for the man to man

to hold also as he ID willing. In-
asmuch as party politics play a
smaller part in the War Depart
ment than in any of the Executive
departments of the government,
there is no reason why Gen, Grant
should decline to remain because
of his being a Republican. The
duties of Deputy President take
up SO much of Lamont's time that
he has none to give to the busi-
ness of the War Department, and
it ls probable that his reason late

~-Everybody knows the ten
der legend of the red man relative

sets forth that the Great Spirit re-
Tented and gave the beautiful sea-
son as compromise, to enable the
tewny braves to provide for the

the red man than on the

settled upon st. Tsmmany, and

urchin drive away the solemn
