A LITTLE BULLET
Thomas Cleary, the Pugilist
Shoots Frank Dorrity
in Helena.
CIesry Claims the sho ling Was Done in
Self Defense-The Victim
Hard Character

HELENA, Sept. 0.,-At 6 o'clock this
morning Tom Cleay killed Frank Dough
erty in front Of the international hotel
block on South Main street, Cleary and
Dougherty. a few minutes previous, had
left gambling house and gone up the
street to the Bristol block, Joe Pierce
and Johu Luxen OF Marysville were on
the other side of the street and heaad
the men quarreling.
Accounts differ as to how the killing
came about, but il seems TO be the i'm
preston among the sporting fraternity,
who are familiar with the character OF
both men. that Dougherty made threats
against Cleary during the night. which
justified him in srming himself. Two
eye witnesses say that when Dougherty
fell knife was seen beside him. but
when the authorities appeared it was
not TO befound.
After firing the shot Cleary ran
around the corner Of the international
hotel and stood with his gun in his hand
and was arrested by Policeman Reed
and taken to the station house and
searched. His shirt had cut in it as il
made by knife. but there was no cut
in the clothing over the shirt
As soon as the shot was fired 100 men
appeared on tina scene and surrounded
the body. It.was taken to the police
station where an examination showed
that a bullet from a ii-Colt's revolver
had entered the head at the base OF the
skull and came out of the forehead.
Cleary claimed that he shot Dough
erty in self defense. and does not yet
know that Dougherty is dead.
Dougherty is well known in MissouIa
where he had gun fight in the street
with Mitchell and Benntt. An inquest
will be held tomorrow.

The Burial Minister.

81 went TO a Wednesday night prayer
meeting with some friends of mine with
whom l am stopping" is the way a
stranger in the city began the story. "Af-
ter the service one of the party saw fit to
apologize by saying that during the vaca-
ton of the pastor his place was filed by
the burial minister, who was not quite so
interesting as the regular pastor. Bur
ial minister | said interrogatively.-
Yes was the reply. | walked on for a
couple of minutes, and then | asked my
friend if he would be kind enough to ex
plain to me what he meant by the term
burial minister. Why, he said, in all
of the big churches of a city like Chicago
there is always an assistant pastor. But
his principal duty consists in answering
calls to preach funeral sermons over dead
people who, in their lives, were not prom
inently identified with the congregation
| wondered if such an assistant bad to
vary his sermons, and unconsciousIy my
wonderment formed itself into words
Not much, was the reply, about all he
does is to change the names and ages
1t is usually considered good berth for
a superanuated minister Isuppose that
a burial minister is q sort of companion
piece to a professional mourner. '-Chi-

Pierce Young's Trooper.

Here is a story that General Pierce
Young tells. Away up in the Georgia
Mountains lies Catoosa Springs, favor
ite summer resort of Savannah and AT
lanta society people. Among the pines
and breezes of the hills the fever and las
situde bred from the malarial air of the
low country disappear like magic. One
day General Young saw an old fellow
come up with basket of eggs and a
bunch of chickens for the hotel people,
and recognized an old trooper of his COM
mand.

"They are handsome, aren't they JakeY'

"Now, Jake" said General Young,
waving his hand toward a group of three
young ladies with whom he had been
chatting, "tell me which of these three
young ladies is the prettiest."
cav, Gineral Young, they's all pooty.
'Twouldnt be good manners for me to
say any one was poOtier'n tother."
"But Jake, it will give them a great
deal of pleasure to learn your opinion
They are great friends, and will not feel
hurt by your decision. Now walk right
up and pick cut the best looking"
After much solicitation Jake under.
took the task. He walked up and peer
ed closely at the laughing girls. About
one hundred guests had gathered by this
time to see the trial. Finally Jake turn
ed, scratched his head. All three of the
young ladies wore broad sashes around
their waists.
"Gineral Young, they's all three Sc
pooty it is hard to make a choice, but
still am forced to say that the one with

There was a scream, a futter Of white

Engineers have estimated that the total

horse power. This estimate, to be sure, j.
in the main only guess, but when the area
drained into the lakes above Lake Ontario.
aud passing through the Niagara river be
considered the guess or estimate does not
seem to be too large. The water surface Of
the great lakes above Ontario is $1,000
square miles, ,and the watershed Of these
lakes is 10000 square miles-more than
twice the area of Great Britain and Ireland
The total length Of shore-line is :, 900 miles,
while the volume Of water is 5000 cubic
miles Of which Lake Superior contains al
most one-half The ra.e Of outflow at Buff
falo is from 1000 to 275,OOO cubic feet
per second, while the fall of the cataract is

The Engagement Ring.

Somewhat apropOs of weddings, at
least of weddings that may be, is a story
told by one of the leading salesmen for a
well-known jewelry house. 1t is not un-
common for brides elect Just after the
election to resort TO some sort of clever
artitice to find out the intrinsic value Of
the glittering bauble that proclaims her
to be his. Sometimes they do their own
detective work, but perhaps more fre.
quently curious mother takes charge
of it, under the impression, as she makes
you believe, that if the ring is all it is
pretended to be the giver's character is
like it. The originator of that theory
has never been discovered. The disciples
are legion.
The salesman in question was approach
ed by woman of the fashionable world
and her daughter. The latter looked
somewhat embarrassed, and the expert.
enced young man behind the counter
thought he recognized the symptoms.
81 desire to get ring for my daugh-
ter" said the woman. The salesman
looked at the young lady.
"Not this one, another daughter. II is
to be surprise"
She was shown case after case of dia-
mond rings, but none seemed to suit her.
Finally she said to her daughter, "Show
him yours, dear" Blushingly she took
off her glove and slipped a sparkling ring
from her engagement finger.
81 want to get one exactly like that
How much will it cost ?"
The salesman looked at the ring, and
the girl watched him as bravely as she
could. He recognized it as one he had
sold to Mr.. Blank few days before.
Isn't she crafty?' he thought. "Well'
I'll fix her this time" So he handed the
ring back to the daughter and said
"The cost Of this ring, madam, was a
confidential matter between Mr.. Blank
and myself | understood from his re-
marks that he thought the ring would not
be valued at its intrinsic worth. How
ever, if you wish TO know its value, take
it to some pawnshop and multiply what
they will offer you for it by three, and
you will get pretty nearly the correct
price"
The mother hounced out Of the store
in great wrath. Her daughter followed,
almost in tears. OF course the store lost
their patronage, but the salesman said he
couldn't resist the temptation to give them
a lesson.-PhH Pres.

The Old Pacing Mare.

TrotwOod, the Tennessee pacing editor,
offers the following eulogy on the old pacing
mare i: Heres to the old pacing mare She
carries the blood of the desert-the memory
of fifty Derbys in her veins She is the same
the world over, and would just as soon throw
speed among the sand hills Of Sahara as
among the roses of Andalusia. She carries
the girls to church like a three-year-old,
takes the old lady to meetin' like forty
year-old, carries the old man on nightly
fox hunt like Tam O'Shanter's Meg with
a switch Of her tail, and yet brings him
home when he gets drunk at daylight az
slowly and solemnly as the burial Of Sir
John Moore. She will kill a dozen mules
in a plow, would make a swayback elephant
ashamed Of himself when she backs her ears
and throws herself in the collar of stalled
wagon. She eats less, works more, lives
longer, says less and springs more unexpect-
ed surprises from unexpected places than a
dozer. iack-rabbits in a sage field she is
homeIy in her old.fashioned ways, yet glc-
rous in her grit; ugly in her angularity,
beautiful in her strength. Solemn in her
Scotch-Trish, honest way, yet brilliantly
humorous when she takes the bit and trie.
to pace a 2:lO clip in her old age. Modest
and gentle as nuns dream Of her frst love,
yet a. fiery and aggressive as a helmeted
knight in an honor quarrel"
