WARREN.
A SAD FOURTH.

The Grange had a picnic, with literary exercises in the church. All of which was very creditable, but in the midst of it the young and beautiful wife of Rob- ert Swift died in the act of parturition CT did not survive it more than half an hour. It has cast a gloom over the tn- tire community. The funeral occurred on Friday. Both mother and child were in the same casket. The funeral was large and many expressions of grief were manifest. The profoundest sense
 of sorrow go out in behalf of the be- reaved husband and her fathers family. Thus peculiar providence gives double force to the words of David when he said sthere is but step between me and death.' How suddenly all the fond hopes and aspirations of household are interrupted and frustrated, when death
 comes. The church is called to mourn in this instance and the Y. P. s. 0. E. loses one of it's most devoted and active members as well as the choir, where her voice was always heard and her coUnten- ance was always cheerful. Quiet and
 domestic in her tastes, she felt it a plaas-

\ NEW STAMP MILL.
"A Recent Denver Invention That MAY
Supplant the Ordinary Pattern.

"A Recent Denver Invention That May
supplant the Ordinary Pattern.
The Central City (Colo.) Register Call
gives the following description of a new
and improved stamp mill, the Hendrie &
Bolthoif, Which has been recently added
to the equipment OF the Empire at Black
Hawk: "The new mill differs greatly
from what is known as the modern Gil
PIN County stamp mill. The housings
and batteries are of one iron casting,
weighing over two tons to each battery
The stamps, which weigh $50 pounds
each, are arranged to drop from to 12
inches. The depth from the bottom of
the mortars to the point of issue to the
algamating tables is s inches, the
stamps dropping G5 times per minute.
The amalgamating plates inside of the
batteries are curative in form From
point OF battery issue to the regular
amalgamating tables the battery shines
pass over surface of 52X9G inches of
extra heavy amalgamated copper After
leaving the tables the shines pass through
III inch perforations of wood, 13 in num-
Der and distributed over another copper
plate similar to that in use on the inside
of the batteries. Thence the shines pass
to the humping tables, which are double,
having speed of 21G per minute One
superiority claimed for the mill is that a
five stamp battery will crush twice as
much ore as the ordinary mill now in use.
In other words, ten stamps will crush as
much ore per day as the ordinary twenty
stamp mill. The cleanup of amalgam
from the new mill has thus far proven
satisfactory. A number of mill men Of
the county have taken great interest in
the erection of this new mill, and should
it meet with the success that is claimed
for it, there is no doubt but that other
mills of similar kind will supplant
those now in use"

KENKER WAS KILLED
BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW JUST
WHO is RESPONSIBLE.

A Sheepherdcr Meets Sudden Death at
Gun-His Wife and IL Man Named Seiger
Held for Examination.
Henry KGnker, a sheepherder in the
employ of John Gerdts, met mysterious
and violent death at a sheep camp below
Garrison Friday night Of last week.
knnker's wife, young German woman
who can scarcely speak a word of Eng
lish, and q sheepherder named Seiger
are now in Jail awaiting preliminary ex-
animation as to their knowledge of or
participation in the crime if crime
it was.
The woman's testimony at the coroner.s
inquest, which was conducted by Justice
,Stackpole last Monday, was to the effect
that Nnnker was shot by Seiger acci
dentally in handling a shotgun while
visiting them at their tent on the night
III question. Previous to the inquest she
stated that her husband was shot by
some one, she did not know who, who
approached the tent after Knnker had
retired and showed the muZZle of the
weapon through the entrance. This
story was tliscredited at the inquest, how
ever, by DR.. Glass who, appearing as an
expert, gave it as his opinion that the
shot was fired within a few inches Of
Knnker's face. The woman's contradic-
tory statements, to as great an extent as
anything else, is the reason Of her being
held. Seiger denied her testimony in
toto, claiming to have no knowledge Of
the killing and not to have been near the
tent since early in July.
1t is certainly a mysterious case and
much interest is manifested in the pre-
liminary hearing Of the parties, which
will begin before Justice Stackpole
today.
Kmnker for number of years had
been in the employ Of Mr.. Gerdts, who
regarded him as IL most faithful and
trustworthy man. The funeral occurred
from the home ranch Tuesday, the inter
ment taking place at the Deer Lodge
cemetery.

"A Nevada Cold Bonanza

The Enterprise reports excitement over
the strike just made in the Zirn- Schultz
mine at Pine Nut, New. A piece of rock
about the size of an egg weighs just
twelve ounces, and is variously estimated
to contain from one to two ounces of rich
gold worth $50 per ounce. The rock is
decomposed quartz mixed with feldspar

"AY HAF GUIDE YOBS".
THAT is, THE PRESENT BOARDS OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The Supreme Court Decides the Conn
missioners Amendment to the Constitu-
ton Was Not Adopted-The Old Boards
Will Therefore Hold Over.
HELENA, Sept. 24.-The supreme court
today handed down its decision in the
county commissioner matter. The opin-
ion is that the constitutional amendment
was not legally adopted, and that the
present commissioners hold over for four
years from the time they took office. The
question presented was whether the fail
ure OF the secretary of state to publish
the amendment the required ninety DAYS
vitated it, even after the people had
adopted it.
The court says: "The trainers of our
constitution did not leave the language
OF the constitution open to the construc-
ton OF courts, but set the matter at rest
by provision that the constitution was
mandatory and prohibitory, unless by ex-
press words they were declared to be
otherwise. The question is not before us
whether the requirement of the constu-
ton that notice of a proposed amendment
shall be published for three months is
mandatory or directory. The constitution
construes itself in this regard, and we
seem to be in somewhat different field
from that suggested by relators' counsel
as to the construction Of the statutes.
1T being settled that the provision
under consideration is mandatory, the
inquiry remaining seems to be: What is
the consequence of disobedience to the
mandate OF the constitution? Is the pro-
posed adoption of the amendment nulli-
fled, or is the disobedience of the consti-
tuition to be treated simply as an omission
by the secretary of state?
"ln considering the provisions of our
own constitution, and in the light of the
decisions, we are clearly Of the opinion
that the requirement to publish notices
OF proposed amendment for three
months is not only mandatory, but that
It is an essential provision, and that it
must be obeyed. We may further add
that it seems to us to be prudent and
expedient provision. The command of
We cannot misunderstood it.
"We cannot do other than render to it
the obedience which this our duty de-
mands. 1t provides that an amendment
may be adopted by certain methods.
Those methods were not employed An
other method was resorted to. That
method accomplished nothing. The
amendment was not adopted. There be-
ing no amendment to the constitution,
there are no offices Of county commits
sioners in Lewis and Clark county to be
filled at the election to be held in No
vember 1894, and there is therefore no
duty enjoined by law upon the county
| clerk and recorder Of that county to file
any alleged certificates of nomination for
| such offices"

POOR COLGATE'S BONES.
Discovered on the Clearwater and Given
Christian Burial.

Discovered on the Clearwater and Given
Christian Burial.
The MissOula Missorlian of recent date
contains an account of the recovery and
burial of the remains Of George Colgate,
the deserted cook Of the notorious hunt
ing party headed by William Z. Carln,
son Of General Carlin, late commander Of
the department Of the Columbia, q. S. A.
The discovery was made about August
% by Lieutenant Elliott, eight miles be-
low the spot where the desertion occur
red, on the Clearwater river. All that
remained Of Colgate's body was thigh
bone and one ley, and these were man
gled and gnawed by the wild beasts in
Testing that region. 1t is presumed the
balance of the remains were carried away
by animals into the mountain Businesses
or washed away by the waters of the
Clearwater. At the same spot were also
found a match box, a fishing line and
other articles identified rs Colgate's prop
erty. The remains were inferred at Lower
Hot Spring, on the North fork of the
Middle fork of the Clearwater.
Lieutenant Elliott was sent out on this
mission by the present commander of the
Department of the Columbia, to which
official he will make full report, there
being many points tending to prove that
Colgate's desertion by the Carlin party
was cowardly in the extreme.
