POLICEMAN SHOT DEAD.
While Trying to Arrest Gang of
Safe Crackers.

Policeman john w. Flynn was
found dead Saturday.in the waiting
room of the Northern Pacific depot
alongside of the ticket Office with all
indications pointing to the theory
that he had surprised gang of burg
lars who were trying to blow open a
safe, and had been murdered by them.
There was no light in the depot and
one of the men was probably stand
ing in one of the darkest corners
near the ticket Office waiting for the
intruder to pass him. Then while
blow from club or some instrument
the policeman was hit on the side of
the head and fell. Three shots struck
him and two missed, entering the
floor. The position Of the wounds
and the course of the bullets proved
that Flynn had been knocked down
and was lying partly on his face
when shot. The bullet in the head
entered near the top and came out
near the mouth. The wound in the
chest was near the left shoulder, and
also indicates that the shot was fired
by some one standing over him. Ex-
animation shows that the wounds
were all made with bullets of differ
ent size, indicating that at least three
men were concerned in the actual
murder, while there must have been
a fourth who lay in wait for the Of
fcer with club.

Killed With An Az.

Della Latham, alias Della Carey,
Anaconda one afternoon last week, a
woman of the town, about thirty
years of age, at her home in Oak
street, was struck across the temple
with the blunt edge of an AK in the
hands of some unknown person and
instantly killed. The forehead was
crushed in and the corpse presented
hideous and horrible spectacle. The
woman had just returned home from
the police court where she appeared
as a witness in the trial of John
Carey, charged with being an inmate
of house of ill repute. Carey has
been living with the woman few
months. In an attempt to deceive
the police, and escape being driven

women have hung out signs, "Wash'

THE MEETING OF EDITORS.
Great Falls Will Give Them &
Hearty Welcome.

From the Tribune:
Last evening the newspaper men
and number of the leading citizens
of the city met in the editorial rooms
of the Leader for the purpose of de-
vising plans for the entertainment of
the Montana Editorial association,
which meets in Great Falls in May.
H. P. Rolfe of the Leader presided
and stated the object of the meeting.
Jerry Collins of Helena was pres
ent and stated that there would be a
large gathering of editors, publishers,
proprietors and their wives and he
felt confident that Great Falls would
entertain them handsomely. DR..
Sweat, 0. S. Warden, 0. M. Holmes,
J. S. Alling and H. b. Mitchell of
the Neihart Miner all felt confident
that Great Falls would come square
to the front on the entertainment and
give the quill pushers as grand a
time as the land could produce.
An excursion to the Sand Coulee
and Belt coal fields, silver mines at
Neihart, and the several falls of the
Missouri was discussed; also visit
to the 3. & NJ. copper smelter and
electric works is also on the program
besides several other attractions.
The convention will be in session
three days and the night of the last
day will be exclusively devoted te
the banquet at the Park.
Arrangements will be made te
handsomely entertain all the visiting
ladies, and they can rest assured
that the best in the land will be a
their disposal.
Another meeting will BE- held in 8

committees will report:

COUNTY SEAT CHATTER.
From the lIusbandman:


The White Sulphur Springs pablo
school will give an entertainment at the
Auditorium Monday evening next, under
the direction of Prof. Tripp and his able
corps of teachers. The object of this is
to raise funds to purchase some auxiliary
reading books. The drama to be present
ed is "Mother Goose and her Fairies"
play admirably adapted to juveniles of
an advanced grade. The play is replete
with music, solos and choruses, recita-
tions and cologuies and is entertaining
from beginning to end. Over 60 boys
and girls will appear upon the stage at
one time and there will be numerous
beautiful scenes, some amusing but all
interesting. 1t is decidedly the best thing
of the kind ever presented, and should
call forth crowded house. Turn out
everyone and encourage young America
in "a laudablc effort to secure necessary
books.
The county fathers propose holding
another meeting next month for the pur-
pose of considering the proposition of
bonding about $4,000 of the floating
Indebtedness. There is little upwards
of $4,000 dollars of outstanding war
rants mostly on the road fund which it is
proposed to convert into bonds at low
er rate of interest. The county is in good
condition financially and its bonds ought
to find ready takers.
Every student of history and every IT.
ish American will enjoy John Maguire's
lecture in Auditorium hall on "Roberi
Emmett and his times" There are few
things more thrilling than Irish history
and few tongues more eloquent than
those Of the Green isle.
John c. +. Barker of Great Falls has
been visiting the different gold camps
Whites, Diamond, Duck creek, etc, dur
ing the past week examining the differ
ent gold propositions.
Either there was some rough guess
work upon the bidding for the repair o
the county roads or else some of the bid
ders did wild figuring. But if the coun
ty succeeds in keeping its roads in goot
repair under the contracts as made i
will be quite n saving of money.

league and Wilson Anderson were cleo

exciting any particular interest, there be
ing but one ticket in the field.

BUTLER'S PLANS.

From the daily papers OF Tues
day we gather that Senator M. C'
Butler, through his attorney, Gen.
Youmans, has moved before the
Supreme Court of this State for
an injunction restraining the
Comptroller General and State
Treasurer from paying any of The
salaries of supervisors of registra-
tion on the ground that the regis
tration law is unconstitutional and
the appropriation of money for
that purpose is illegal. The court
reserved its decision. This is said
to be the beginning of Senator
Buffers plan to contest Tillman's
seat in the Senate.
The court has granted the order
to show cause and set December 30
as the time for hearing argument.
The same points against the law
raised by Senator Butler were
raised by E. M. Brayton, a Repub-
lican, last spring but owing to va
rious reasons the case was never
brought to conclusion. 1t is the
general opinion among lawyers
that the law is radically defective
and that it will be so declared,
The supposition is that Butler in
tends to control Tillman's seat in
The Senate to which he will un-
doubtedly be elected by the Legis-
lature. This is but one of his
plans of defeating Tillman, as the
Senator claims that the last elec-
tion was carried by the greatest
frauds. He does not, however, say
what his plans are, but it is be,
lieved that his action is but the
beginning of contest which it is
said he will carry even to the
United States Senate.
All this is very mysterious tc
those who are merely lockers on
Even if the points raised by Sen,
ator Butler should be gained how
would that help him to seat in
the United States Senate? We can
not understand.

Now and Then.

NIX. EDlTOR: HaVlnS just re-
turned from the State Fair, l was
struck with improvements all
along the line. from the pretty lit
tie city of Johnston to the queen
city of the South, for say what we
will, Columbia is the prettiest place
in America, and next to it is our
own little neighbor Aiken. Wards,
Ridge Spring, Monetta, Batesburg,
Leesville, Lewiedale, and other
places bear witness to tESSff.. Is ,.on <saat
the people.
Columbia and the Fair were all
O. K. The city did its part and
the Fair did it's part, but sad to
say the attendance was small, ridi-
culously small. Half crops and
half prices account fol it. Let US
hope things will improve. Let
cotton no longer be king. Arise
from its menial position and let it
be heralded to the world that cot
ton as a surplus is all right, but
as the only crop will not do, ex-
except to bring us, nearer and
nearer to the poor house, and if a
change is not mabe and that pretty
soon our friend Capt. Williams
will be crowded with guests. The
county hotel is we'll kept and the
proprietor is kind hearted, SO the
unfortunates can rely on good
treatment.
But while noticing things as
they now are let US not forget the
good old days of Adam and Eve,
that IS before the war. Things
moved. along smoothly then, if q
little slowly. There was plenty in
the land, horses, mules, COWS, hogs,
sheep, etc., and, generally, good
crops were made. Both farmer
and hands fat and saucy, an am
pie supply of provisions made
ONLY small crops of cotton as a
rule, and people happier then than
now. The truth is times are sadly
out of joint. Then the country
fed the town, now the cart is before
the horse, and the town feeds the
country. Loads of guano are haul
ed to the farm, corn, oats, hay, ba-
con, etc., brought from town, all of
of which could and should be
raised at home. Guano could and
should be dispensed with and It's
place supplied by home raised
manure, composing, using cotton
seed, the scrapings of the yard,
horse LOT, etc. But we poor, credul-
Gus farmers are still travelling in
the old and deep rut, which ends
in leaving us in the deep rut of
debt and trouble. Another sur
pring thing is, that with our usual
foresight, time is always selected
to haul guano when the weather is
bad and the roads, never good, are
almost impossible.
Things must change. Cotton is
trying to help us change, vide the
low price. Now let US help our
selves by raising all of our pro-
visions for both man and beast,
only raising enough cotton, our
money crop, to buy necessary
things, such as few dry goods
sugar and coffee, etc., to meet the
tax collector, and if you will, but
bother not, a small wee-wee drap
