The Tin Miner Dies.

Last week the Hill City Tin Miner
which was the first paper ever published
In Hill City, quietly folded it's hands
owe an acheing void in the region
OF the stomach, and silently passed out
OF the region of newspaperdom. The
old mar who presided over it's destlnes
and was with it in it's last hours, says
there should be inscribed upon It's tomb
these words .tDied OF starvation"
The Tin Miner was a welcome visitor
to the tables of all it's exchanges and by
it's absence we will loose many sums OF
original wit. We hope that MIR. Smith
may succeed wherever fortune may cast
him on the cold and unfriendly shores OF
this fortune. seeking age.

Tragedy At Keystone.

News comes from keystone to the
effect that John M. Benn shot and NOR
tally wounded Charles F. Widows at
that camp on Tuesday morning. The
trouble grew out Of an old grudge the
result Of an intended joke on the part of
Widows although q very rough one and
run about as follows: While Benn was
under the influence OF liquor, Widows
poured alcohol over his feet and set fire
to them which proved so serious that
Benn has been badly crippled ever since.
On Tuesday morning he walked into
Charley Upman's saloon where the man
Widows was and leveled a double bar
relied shotgun at him and fired, the shot
taking effect in the left side just above
the groin intiicting q frlghtful wound.
The attending physicians say it il I'M
possible for him to recover, although
up to the present writing he is still liv-
ing. Benin was brought to Rapid and
lodged in Jail.
Both OF these parties to this horrible
deed are well known IN this city around
the dives and haunts where men of ordi-
nary good judgement never frequent.

= chronic saloon bum, in other words

are the ripened fruit OF this hellish traffic
that today grows and testers like agreat

men Of this community, and receive an
object lesson, shun these hell holes as

A FAULTY INFORMATION.

Ths Ruling of tho Supreme Court Was
an InpOssIbnity in the Case.
Tho information charging @. Hepchon
with an assault with intent to commit
murder was yesterday ordered set aside
y Judge Smith on a demurrer filed by
M. j. McGarvey, ESQ.,. defendants
attorney.
The ground for this action is some
what peculiar. The complaint upon
which Hepchon was arrested charge
assault to murder. but the committin 9
magistrate held him to answer on the
Lesser charge of assault with deadly
weapon. Judge Smith said tn at deci.
si6n OF the supreme court directs that
informations drawn up by the district
attorneys in the state muot charge the
crime alleged in the complaint and by
the committing magistrate in their
docket. The supreme court proba bly,
had not had in mind case similar to
the present one when this ruling was
made, Rs 1t would be an impossi bility.
The cour5e here would be that the dis.
trict attorney file a lew information,
charging him with assault with a
deadly weapon.
The facts in the case were that Chris
Hepchon attacked John Lockhard in
this city with knife on December
25th, and cut him so severely that he
had to be taken to the city receiving
hospital for aurgica care.

AMUSE MRNrS,

Los ANGELES THEATER.- Tavary
Grand English Opera company, which
begins an engagement on Monday night
has met with great success 90 far this
season. The company has been heard
in Brooklyn, Washington, Pitssburg
Cleveland, Dstroit. St. Louis, Milwau-
kee, Chicago. Denver and San Francisco.
In every instance it has been an utter
impossibility to procure even standing
room after the opening night. By cora
petent critics it has been pronounced to
be the best grand opera company heard
in America at popular prices. The fu-
ture of this organization is being watched
with no little interest. The trials and
tribulations of grand opera impressario
are such that few care to contend with,
since grand opera has never met with
the encouragement it so richly deserves.
Manager Charles H. Pratt has sur
rounded Nine. Tsvary with a brilliant
array of artists, a large and effective
chorus. as we'll as az orchestra which
will prove q revelation. The repertoire
for the week has been selected with a
desire OF presenting such efforts as would
prove most popular. The advance sale
continue to be something phenomenal.

Among other things to consider the
committee has before it bids for lot of
new sewer work which were presented

dollars instead Of cents per foot by mis-
take, and If it is construed cents it is the
lowest bid on that work.
There is a claim made chat portion

ulsr form, and the actions OF the com
mittee are being watched with interest

in NEED OF A GUARD
THE CITY HALL TO BE WATCHED
AT NIGHT.
Custodian Lucksnbsch Suggests q II en-
edy for this Neglect OF Public
Property.

City Clerk Luckenbsch, who was sp-
pointed custodian of the city hall by
the council. has prepared a communica-
ton to the council which will be pre-
sented at Mondays meeting, calling at
tention to the fact that for portion Of
the time each "a hours the city hall is
entirely without Waterman.
The communication states that as at
present arranged the city has three
janitors on duty in the city hall during
the day, leaving the building in charge
of the engineerss from about $3.50 p. m.
to 9:30 p. No., when the lights are put
out and the doors looked by the en-
gineers. From $50 p. m. until next
morning the building is without a
Waterman, and ate. $50 p. m. persons
can roam through the building at large.
st appears TO me-" says Mr.. Luckeu.
bach, "thet it would be far better if the
arrangement was changed so as to have
two janitore on duty during the day,
say from a. m. until they complete
the sweeping and duating OF the office g
in the evening; one to have charge of
all the offices on the first and the other
all the offices on the second floor, and
have the third janitor serve from 6 p.
IN. until 6 a. m. and act as watchman
and have charge OF tho corridors and
front steps of the building. From 6 p.
M. until $50, when the library is closed.
ne could devote to sweeping the corri-
doris and steps, busting walls and wood
work, and after the hall is locked could
wash down the floors, steps and marble
work without having mud and dirt
dragged over them while he is at work.
This would give the floors. etc., ample
time to dry before they are walked over
and think would materially assist in
keeping the building clean. By going
over the entire building a number OF
times during ths night he could mas
terially Lessen the danger from fire and
also prevent damage and filth caused by
Ill disposed persons.
~ do not feel empowered to make
any such change without instructions
from your honorable body, but believe
that it would be of material advantage
in many ways and if you coincide with
me in this view L would be pleased to
have instructions to that effect"

FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER,
Feeler Must Go to the Peniten-
tiary for Life.
1t Is Healy's Tarn Now to Stand
Trial.
Tho Jury Only DelIbsrsssd One Hour
Before FeeIer'g Doom Was Decided
Tho Henly Jury Secured.

Assistant District Attorney Williams
yesterday morning made the closing
argument for the people in the Feeler
case. 1t took up nearly two hours and
demanded of the jury verdict of MUIR
der against the defendant. Mr.. Williams
argued that when Healy end Feeler
went to Elikan's store for the purpose
of burglarizing it, they were prepared
to commit any act of violence which the
circumstances might neoessitate that
the homicide of Elikan was one of these,
and that Fesler, if he did not fire the
fatal shot, was as guilty, to all purposes
and intentH, as the man who is yet un-
tried.
The jury, after the reading of the in
structions by Judge Smith, was taken
charge of by the sheriff at 80 p. M,
and at 2:50 it was announced that it
had agreed.
The foreman, w. z. Steele, read the
verdict which fixed the crime at murder
in the first degree, with imprisonment
for life 10 the state prison. The formal
sentence will be pronounced by Judge
o'clock.
Beyond single look OF hatred to the
men who had just condemned him TO q
living tomb, Feeler made no demonstra-
ton. He csst down his eyes at once
and never looked UP again while in the
court room.
1t was learned late yesterday evening
that Feeler had almost anticipated a
verdict of murder in the first degree
without the lie penalty tackled on to it.
which would have meant death by
hanging, and be is SO pleased with hav-
ing saved his neck that he will not at
tempt to get new trial or to appeal
from the judgment to the supreme
court.
Young Graves, who was clerk to Mr..
Elikan at the time of the murder, told q
HERALD reporter, just before court adj
journsd in department one yesterday
evening, that he is convinced that Feeler
is the man who fred the fatal shot.
When asked now he knew that. he said
that he had done some quiet Investigate
ing himself after the murder, and that
he was willing to back his opinion with
money.
If 1 had $1,000 cash," no added, 81
would willingly wager it on that propo-
sition."
Healy's turn to pass in judgment be-
gan at 2:15. He is defended by Messrs.
Lawson & Ards. For the prosecution,
Messre. Dillon and Williams. who felt
very much encouraged at the reault of
the Feeler trial. are OF record. The jury
was secured by 5 p. H., and consists of
