McManus, an n. p. Brakeman of
Livingston Shoots His Wife
and Then Himself.
ACCOUNT OF THE TRAGEDY,
The Government Will Try New
Kind of Smokeless
Powder.
Killed His Wife and Self.

About three o'clock Thursday
afternoon the town of Livingston
was startled by the announcement
that r. McManus had shot his wife,
killed her almost instantly, and i'm
mediately after cut his own throat
from ear to ear. The report of re.
volver attracted people residing in
that vicinity to the house, who dis
covered Mr. McManus lying in a
pool of blood in the kitchen, and his
wife in the back yard, with gun
shot wound through her breast.
What caused McManus to commit
the act can only be conjectured.
The couple have been married about
two years and it is now reported
that they never lived happy together
OF late they have been residing with
Mrs. McManus' parents and it was
at their home that the tragedy oc.
Cured.
Early this afternoon Mrs. MALTA
han, mother of Mrs. McManus, went
calling, leaving McManus and his
wife at home with their six-months
old baby. 1t is supposed that dur
ing her absence quarrel arose ant
that McManus, in fit of insane rage
committed the crime. Mrs. Wilson
a lady living near, saw Mrs. McMan
us run out of the rear door into the
yard and fall over dead. McManu
soon after followed with a smoking
revolver in his hand. He examined
his wife as she lay in the yard, seem
ingly to make sure she was dead
and then re-entered the house, took
razor from drawer and cut hi
throat.
McManus has been out of wor
for some time and frequently becam
very respondent. He was heard t.
remark recently that if he had a GU
he would take his life.

Frank Chatiield, With a Lariat, Be
comes Owner of Large
Big Horn Ram.
A MOST DARING UNDERTAKING
Some Interesting Facts Relative to
Returns of the Last Gen
eral Election.


Roping Mountain Sheep.
On the first of last week Frank
Chat6eld succeeded in roping
Rocky Mountain ram on the foot
hills of the Sunlight mountains about
fifty miles from this city. To catch
and hold full-grown animal of this
species is a feat that has heretofore
probably never been accomplished.
Mr.. Chatfeld is strong and hardy
mountaineer having passed most Of
his life in the wild recesses of the
Rocky mountains and has been COM
bining trapping, prospecting and
stock raising for number of years
past in the Sunlight valley through
which winds rugged stream that
empties into the CarIl's Fork river
in the Box canyon, making its final
appearance over IA grand falls Of
seventyfve feet in height. During
this particular hunt Mr.. Chatfeld
saw a fine specimen of the Owls
Montana on ledge of rock far up
the hill and with common lariat
and dog determined effort to catch
the animal. Crawling carefully up
a dry gulch he kept out of sight of
the ram and reached reef of rock
about thirty feet above it. Looking
over the edge of this he saw the
monarch of the mountains below,
and the animal also saw Mr.. Chat
field. 1t Immediately jumped over
the ledge and with couple Of
bounds landed on another ledge
about thirty-ive feet below. The
dog was sent after the sheep and
brought it to standstill about two
hundred feet away. Chatfield fol-
lowed and again got "A few feet
above the ram and threw his rope.
1t landed around one of the rams
horns and hard tussle for the
mastery took place. First the sheep
would have the best of the struggle
and then the man. Being on mar
) row ledge of rock it was a very dan
gerous position and Mr.. Chatfield
; was liable at any moment to fall
over with disasterous results. Fin
ally the man succeeded in getting
down to comparatively safe decent
: and with the assistance of the dog
l got the sheep started down the
mountain. AS neither party could
$ 60 exactly as they wished they soon
got tangled in the rope and both
sheep and man started in bundle
G rolling down to the bottom of the
. hill where they landed decidedly the
worse for their rough scramble over
: the rocks. His sheepship was roped
J around both hind feet and afterwards
e the rope was arranged around both
j. horns in which condition he was
e taken to the Chatfeld ranch where
e he now is securely confined The
II specimen is a magnificent one and
Is will very likely 60 to some large
1t geological garden. Its horns measure
J. seventeen inches in circumference

II time previous to catching this sheeI
n Mr.. Chatfeld caught three ewes ii
t. the same manner, but as they were
y not so large and unmanagable the,
did not cause so much trouble. Tive
lie of the ewes died from disease re

RESULTS OF FREE TRADE.
A Poverty Stricken, Deserted Town
and Country Makes Many
Noonan Votes.

viii Anderson, Esq, the we'll
known young attorney, has re-
turned from legal mission to Ban
dera and while there he put in
good work for Judge Noonau for
Congress. He reports that the con-
dition of Bandera since his last
visit there some five years ago, is in
deed pitiable. Where once the town
was flourishing and every house
filled with satisfied inhabitants,
now, on every hand are to be seen
houses for rent, houses dilapidated,
with shutters off, windows broken
and general air of desertion about
the place, while its former citizens
or what is left OF them, are listless,
idle and grumbling. On many busi-
ness houses and dwellings, which
were deserted are to be seen large
placards with the inscriptions,
"This is the result of free trade"
ave voted for a Democratic Con-
gresham" and like significant
words.
Talking with Mr.. Carmichael,
the wealthiest man in the place,
Mr.. Anderson was told that all the
voters were going to aid Judge
Noonan to go to Congress, in or
der to vote for protection. Many
old time Democrats came
out boldly and censured the pol
icy of the Democratic party and
all said they would vote for
and work in the interest OF
Judge Noonan for Congress. Mr..
Anderson travelled over 200 miles
along roads which were formerly
lined with beautiful sheep farms,
on which graZed thousands of
sheep, where now he did not see
even one sheep. The flockmasters
had disposed Of the sheep for NUT
tons.

The Old Deadwood and the New.
From the New York Mail and Express.
II the occupants OF the graves in
the Deadwood Cemetery could
come forth and tell, what a won
derful story they could tell. l kept
a general store in DeadwoOd in 1876,
and was there when Rev. Henry
Weston Smith was so cruelty
murdered. He was on his way to
Crook City to preach a sermon
when he was ambusned by Indians,
who mistook him for Frank Cur
ley, a desperate who had stolen a
squaw and i'll treated them.
They shot Mr.. Smith from be.
hind and cut him to pieces after
he fell from his horse. | once saw
two gamblers take man out of a
den on what was called Two Pair
Row, and march him up to the
head of the street, where they shot
him through the head. He had
been cheating them at their own
game for more than a week, and
the night they caught him he hap
pened to be unarmed. All that is
past now. You might think you
were in a quiet mining village in
Pennsylvania. The site Of my old
store is occupied by little Metho-
dist Church. The place called the
Bad Lands, where there were so
many gambling saloons and So
many murders, has never been
rebuilt since it was burned sever
al years ago. The old-time miners
who worked on grub stakes have
disappeared. Their places have
been taken by wealthy corpora
tiOns. Placer mining has been
abandoned entirely. Once in a
