THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
They Are Considered Strong In the Case
of Tony Florence.


Missoula, Nov. 20.-The Standard to-
day gave to the people of Missoula the
first information of the arrest of Tony
Florence for the murder of Strongue at
the McEneny ranch. AS was stated in
the Standards account of the affair,
Florence was ARRESTED yesterday fore
noon. He is still in the Ravalli county
Jail, where he will remain until his
preliminary examination is made. This
was set for to-day. but will probably be
continued for week, that the state
may have further opportunity to gath
er testimony. Attorney Joseph K.
Wood was retained to assist in the
prosecution and will spend a few days
in the valley looking over the case.
The evidence thus far discovered
against Tony Florence is purely circum-
stamtial but 1t has become stronger all
the while. There is not much doubt
that the man who bought the 3S-cali-
ber revolver from a secondhand dealer
in this city on the day of the murder
Is the man now under arrest. The deal
er who sold the cartridges which were
put into the gun believes that he can
identify his customer If he sees him.
The strongest evidence against Flor
ence is the fact that he was two hours
in travelling two miles, between the
II.
His route lay past the McEneny ranch
and not far from the cabin in which
Strongue was so foully murdered. Then
his story, told that night, and repeated
several times later, about having met
man running and talking to himself
about having fixed" somebody. is
considered as being a suspicious one
When the neighbors gathered at the
McEneny ranch the next morning after
the murder became known, Florence
was among the crowd. When ne look
ed at the dead body of the murdered
man he said to those near him: II saw
the man who did this last night. Then
he repeated the story about the running
man, I'm which not much stock was
taken.
Strongue was a popular fellow among
the ranchmen and, although he was a
quiet and reticent man, he had many
warm friends. Some of these are ac-
lively at work in the collection of evil
deince in the case. and are proving good
detectives. IL is said that there are
incidents which have not yet been
made public which tend to stamp Flor
ence as the murderer even more strong
ly than what has been published. Flor
ence himself has persisted since his ar
rest In a denial of any knowledge of
the deed, further than seeing the man
whom he passed, running and mutter-
ing. Tom Sheridan, a resident of the
neighborhood, has been here in Mis-
soula for two days at work on the case
and has some strong pointers in his
possession. The main point now seems
TO be to Identify the man who bought
the revolver here Friday afternoon. If
Florence Is the man, IT will look bad
for him.

Missoula, Nov. 20.-Judge Woody and
a jury have spent almost the entire
day in hearing a statement of the al
legged ownership of an interest in the
Lou Lou hot springs property and OF
the trouble which Sheriff Mclaughlin
caused by attaching this interest un-
der an execution issued by the court
some time ago. The whole case was
fought stubbornly by the attorneys.
and a stack of exceptions was entered
which would bewilder even an expert
enced court oracle. The case was one
in which Mrs. Lillian NJ. Hanson sued
II. W. Mclaughlin, sheriff. and Thomas
Corbett, deputy. for damage caused by
their ousting her from the property In
question. The sheriff attached the
property on a judgment against I. M.
Slocum, who was supposed to be the
owner Of the share In question. Mrs.
Hanson, who is Slocum's daughter, al
legged that she was the owner of the
property and asked for damages. The
defense denied that she owns or ever
did own the land and personal prop
erty. Bickford, Self & Hershey for the
plaintiff; George b. Wilds and Joseph
K. Wood for the defendant.
In the case of Helen NJ. Curry VS.. Jo-
seph Drlnkwine, the attorneys an
nounced that a settlement was pend
ing, and asked that the case be con-
tinued for the term, which was done.
S. @. Murray for the plaintiff; Joseph
X. Wood for defendant.
G. A. Wolf asked to be excused from
further duty and presented a physi-
clans certificate showing that he was
physically unable to further sit as a
juryman. He was accordingly excused.
The names of III. NJ. Pierce and l.. w.
Groutier were drawn to complete the
panel. Both men appeared in court
and the name OF Mr.. Pierce was drawn
to take the place of Mr.. Wolf. l.. w.
Groutier was excused.

WHY
BECAUSE

The wonderful cures he has made have
created condolences and delight in the
hearts of those who have struggled in
vain against the ravages of nervous de-
bility and other diseases, until this sue
cessful doctor (whose picture appears
above) cured them.
DIR. SWEANY does not allow the
names of his patients or their diseases to
be published or exposed, but he cures
them. He observes absolute confidence
and the strictest secrecy in all his pro-
fessional dealings.
The DIR. has thousands of testimonials
on file in his private Office and consulta-
ton rooms. They are not fictitious or So
licited. They are genuine and were vol
UNFAIRLY given as true, deep, sincere and
heartfelt expressions of gratitude and
thanks from our best merchants, manu-
facturers, mechanics, miners. ministers,
farmers, lawyers, laborers and literary
people, who have been cured by him and
made happy. Examine them and learn
for yourself what he has accomplished
in cases just like yours. To do so would
make your heart leap with joy and re-
newed hope.

Saturday last, and resolved to vote
at the approaching Primary; and
what those gentlemen say [ know
they intend to do. True, Capt.
Lake, in sending the Resolution as
adopted by the conference to the
Estate" takes occasion to say: ;1n
my judgment the larger portion of
Simon-Pure Democrats will not
vote in Irby's primary" But, Mr..
Editor, 1 am prone to believe that
the action of the Twenty Confer
ence will be more generally en-
dorsed than Capt. Lakes "judg-
ment" leads him to imagine. The
members of the conference may
not be quite up to Capt. LIS i'm
maculate conception of the "Simon
Pure" but there is no talnt of In
dependantism IN their makeup,
nor will there be laier on. Be-
cause they have been taught to be-
lieve, like the rest of us, that can
Independent is worse than a Rad
ical," and they adhere to that opin-
ion still.
Therefore, Mr.. Editor, now that
it is probable that the conserva-
tives iriN rote at tile Primary, l am
better satisfied, and vii march up
to the polls and deposit my ballot
with six names written thereon
part Reformers and part Conser-
vatives-and will abide the result.
And am sure that many others,
without regard to party lines or
party faction, will do likewise.
