The first shooting scrape that ever
took place at Ekalaka, occurred there on
Sunday morning last. the shooter being
George Crlssman a cowboy in the EN-
ploy Of 81. G. Connors; the recipient of
his doleful fayors being Johnny Lam
bert, one Of the hands employed at Capt
Harmon's ranch. The main incidents as
gathered by Capt Harmon from eye
witnesses Of the affair are about as fol-
lows: On Saturday nightCrissman and
Lambert were playing cards in McNiess
saloon at Ekalaka. and of course were
gambling They played nearly all night
and though no = artIcular attention was
paid To the game toy the proprietor or
others, II is believed that Lambert was

times 10 assure his opponent that he

through with him. 4 few hours before
morning they separated but the con

hotel and saw Lambert quietly eating
his breakfast. he was bad. Stalking

settled with him and he pulled out, but
it was not until today that he learned
from a representative Of the JOURNAL, of

hardly credit the story of the shooting.
Lambert at last accounts was reported
to be out Of danger, thanks to the
strength of his ribs and the rude but
effective surgery of Mine Host Terrill.

HELENA. Aug. 6.-At a closed meeting
Of the Helena bar association tonight
letters and affidavits from Judges Hunt
and Buck were read, reciting their re-
lstion in the Ming matter and stating
that they believe J. ". kinsley had been
guilty of unprofessional conduct. which
ought to result in disbarment proceed
ings. The papers were referred TO a
special grievance committe. Quite a
discussion arose about giving the news
that charges had been preferred out for
publication. c. w. Wiley was in favor
os requesting the reporters not to use
the information obtained by them. He
stated that they printed everything they
heard regardless Of what they promised
and he also wanted them fired out. The
cause of the press was ably championed
by Judge Mcconnell and ex-A ssociate
Justice Bach and the reporters were
allowed to remain. There were - mem
bers present and but four voted against
the press.

The auxiliary pumping station to the
city water works is in operation today
for the first time. adding steady two
inch stream under twenty pounds pres
sure to the normal supply. The ad-
dition is not sufficient to permit the con.
tinuous use OF water from open hydrants
but it is believed that il this practice is
discontinued. there will be such a
marked improvement in the suppl and
pressure during lawn sprinkling hours,
by reason OF the auxiliary service, that
ample sprinkling can be done during
those hours. and the temptation to ap-
propriate water clandestinely will cease.

The success that Doris" Enie

Is evidence with what satisfaction
play-goers regard the appearance of
this favoritc actress in a new role.
Miss Ellsler has secured a play that
has hit the popular taste, and it is
said TO possess dramatic elements of
unusual strength. Its success has
been substantial as well as artistic.
OF Miss Ellsler's merits it seems I'M
necessary to speak. She is recog-
nized as being one of the greatest
emotional actresses on the stage;
effective. yet quiet, in action, al
ways natural. she gives to her i'm
presentations an appearance of real
ism rs satisfactory as they are ar
tistic. The company leaves little to
be desired. Frank Weston, an actor
of recognized ability, is the DR..

drama, is the young Squire Kenneth.
