Jackson the Alleged Grow Wing Murderer,
- =: IA in Bad Boat. y. .-*-.s.- If. ..
Henry Jackson, charged with poison
ing Edwin Peck, was given a prelimin-
ary hearing before Judge Chiperfeld,
Saturday last, in the district court
room. in. True appeared for the
defendant and w. A. Fleming repre-
sented the State in the absence Of
County Attorney Lum. The court
room was crowded with spectators dur
ing the examination, which COM
menced at 10 A. M. and was continued
during the entire day. -. -
Geo. A. REM, an expert chemist of
St. Paul, who examined the stomachs
of Peck and the dog, testified that
strychnine was found in both. The re-
mainder; Of the testimony was sub
stantially the same as the, facts given
IN Sthe published reports Of the
tragedy. ~
The hearing resulted in the defend
ant being committed to Jail without
bail to await the action of the next
grand jury, at the September term Of
the district court, and the witnesses in
the case were recognized in the sum
Of S1O0 each to appear at that time and
testify. Jackson, upon being taken
back to the Jail by Sheriff Spaulding,
was locked up in a cell, and will be
kept closely confined hereafter. Be-
fore the examination he had the
liberty of the cage in common with
other prisoners. .@..
It has been discovered that Jackson
purchased the poison at McFadden's
drug store day or two before Peck's
sudden and mysterious death, and told
the clerk from whom he made the pur-
chase that he wanted it to poison
wolves. He has, however, it is stated,
made conflicting statements to others
in explanation of the use he contem-
plated making Of the poison. It will
be remembered also that at the time
Of the inquest, when asked about the
dog he said the last he saw of it the
animal was following Peck away from
the house after the fatal supper, and
yet after a protracted search the body
of the dog was found where it had
been carefully buried, and there is
strong presumptive evidence that it
was buried by Jackson. The case GER
tainly has an ugly look for Jackson.
The matter doesn' It seem to weigh very
7 heavily on his mind, however.
Throughout the examination he main
tanned an attitude of absolute indiffer-
ence, and to all outward appearances
was the most unconcerned Individual
| present. It is understood that the
prisoner has retained W. W. Erwin,
the famous criminal lawyer, to assist
I Mr.. True in defending him. The case
has excited much attention, and the
outcome will be awaited with great in
terest. .- Brainerd 11iben1e.

BARKER BUDGET.

From the Miner.
Miss May Shaughnessy Of Butte
arrived in camp Monday to visit her
sister, Mrs. McHugh, for a month or
so.
Mrs Ward and son Charley left
Tuesday morning for Bozeman,
where they will join MI. Ward, who
left a month or two ago. Mrs. Ward
will visit friends in Neihart and
Helena before proceeding to her
destination.
1t is learned upon good authority
that the Moulton company of Mel
hart will erect a mill-probably
forty stamps-next spring, and that
it will probably be built at Monarch.
There they a get lots of DON and
plenty of water, two things most
important in the operation of a mill.
Should they do as low planned it will
mean a big addition to Monarch and
we rejoice in the respective pros
perity of that town.
The masquerade held in Maloney's
hall Friday evening was an %unquali-
fed success, both as to the number
of people in attendance and in the
fact that they all seemed to enjoy
themselves thoroughly. Quite a
delegation came up from Monarch
and several were here from Wolf
Creek and Neihart. Some of the
costumes we're very hastily gotten
up; the Monarch people in particular
seemed to have taken pains to get
up attractive dressings, while many
of the others were comical in design.
Substantial suppers were served at
the Wilbur house and Belt Mountain
hotel about midnight, after which
dancing was kept up until a late
hour Saturday morning. The music
by Messrs. Brady, Martin and Bolton
was freely praised.

seated themselves and started to drive
away; but owing to a miscalculation on
the part of the noble driver, the sleigh
overturned and a fearful sight met the
case of spectators. The capitalists
struck the earth with a sickening tbud
and the sleigh reared and leaped upon
them, while they prospected in the dirt
with their features. The whole effect
was appalling. Women tainted and
strong men wept. A moment or so and
all was over. They gathered up of the
fragments that were left twelve baskets
full and drove away with gore and sweet
pickles in their whiskers.
Who were they, and what was their
mission!
Not a sound was heard during the en-
actment o. this episode, save the voice
of Frank Finlaw discussing prospects,
and the relentlessly rushing torrent from
the firehose as it gleefully played under
Joe Sylvester's coat skirts.

Meagher County News; Broad
water county is a dead issue
Beneath the wave of popular opinion
the frail craft sank, and its protector
sank with it. If the Democratic
party can ever support the represent
alive who sold his honor for a bowl
of soup, land poor soup at that,) they
possess more of a forgiving spirit
than inhabits most parties or people.
Since they have failed to get the new
county, it will now be in order to
lower the taxation value of property
in the proposed new county until
they want to try again. The people
who are paying fictitious assessments
on their property are the ones that
will complain.

Dear Mr.. EDITOR:

Dear Mr.. EDITOR:
Please give me a few inches of
space in your valuable paper to apolog-
ize for the lack Of style in the young
men mentioned in Miss Muldoon's letter
and for some Others not mentioned. At
the same time l want to express my feel
ings toward certain of the young ladies
of this town. l was waiting for Kitty
to throw the finishing touches OH that
wall of hers. She said she would. l am

they happen to see it. know you car

to English as she is spoken in Neihart.
At least Miss Kline told me so.
The other night we were walking out
together and as we were ascending Soci-
ETY. Hill near her home, we were guess
ing what star should be our home when
love becomes immortal, and whether we
should both be assigned to the same star.

burst of confidence, Mrs. Sprague told
me her post-ofice box and l happened
on Thursday to hear her call for mail.

her the same versatile and loquaeious

getting infatuated and would very soon

spoke as having received a gaze many
proposals recently from the boys, giving
me a few abstracts from them. Geo. W.
Brown had offered himself for better or
worse and spoke of the profits he would
derive from his tie and pole contract in
Barker. He said he owned. most of that

of Trade saloon. 1t was Tuesday after
noon. A silent spectator might note
the arrival of three strange choking men
riding f~uriously upon the front bob of a

The general opinion was that they were
either Russian ~convicts or capitalists in
disguise. After tying their foaming
steeds at Piersc and HarFison's store
they dispersed themselves among the
crowd that was taking in the waterworks
display. In a few minutes they returned
