MAY BE MURDER.
Lanky" Dunn, u Belt Butcher Charged
With Having Caused the Death of
Werner Il. Helmer.

Werner Il. Helmer.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The corpse of Werner r. Helmer. who
was until recently clerk in the company
store at Belt, was brought to Great
Falls Sunday evening and now lies at
McBratney's undertaking rooms at No
IA Second street north. The dead body
is the sad reminder of an assault COM
mitted upon Mr. Helmer week ago last
Thursday evening by "Lanky' Dunn, a
butcher of Belt.
The story, as told by Dunn's accusers,
is that on the evening mentioned, Hell
mer entered Richards meat market,
where Dunn aud a number of friends
were talking. Helmer entered into the
convers alton and the party appeared to
be thoroughly congenial until perhaps
an hour had passed, when Helmer started
to leave, remarking that he guessed he
would 90 to bed. Dunn forbade him to
go. Helmer retorted rather angrily and
hot words followed, the controversy end
ing in Dunn's seiZing d cleaver and
striking lelmer blow so severe that he
fell, UNCONSCIOUS, and lay on the floor
until some of those present threw
him out Of the back door. 1t is alleged
that they let MIN lie there, once throw
ing a pailful of water over him. until d
woman found him and summoned con-
stable, who took him to his home and
secured surgical aid.
The next day Helmer was able to at
fend to his duties, but grew i'll rapidly
and died late Saturday night. Sunday
evening his widow and little daughter
accompanied the corpse to Great Falls.
Sheriff Dwyer, County Attorney Free
man, and Coroner Weitman went out to
Belt and investigated the circumstances.
Dunn admitted the quarrel with Helmer,
but denied striking him with cieaver,
claiming that he pushed him slightly
and he fell, striking his head on the re-
frigerator. Damn was placed under sur
veiilance and was brought to Great Falls
last night and placed IN jail. He will
furnish bail today.
Coroner Neltman yesterday held a
postmortem examination. lie found
that the wound on the head was about
two inches b-hind the left ear. Beneath
this wound and on the brain, clot of
blood had formed, causing death. The
coroner decided that no inquest is
necessary,
The deceased Was about 33 years Of
age. He leaves a very young wife, and d
child about 3 Years Old.
1t is claimed that Belt justice of the
peace fined Dunn 50 for his assault on
Helmer
Citizens of Great Falls who know Dunn
speak well of him and regret his unfor-
tunate position.

UNION GLASSWORKERSI
REPUDIATE THg LAWLESSNESS OVER At
MARTINS FERRY,
Asd Appoint Committees to Aid in Detecting the
Guilty Pardss-Ths Works Will Likely
Not Be MOved-Special Poles
On Duty.

New events concerning the Buckeye
glass trouble yesterday were few. Mr.
Seamon, when seen, stated that the
men had put in successful days work
yesterday, and seemed to have taken
hold in earnest and gotten down to bus
mess, far better than they have hereto
fore. He also stated that be
had duly considered the mat
ter or moving the glass
house. aud had decided that il the eiti-
zens stood by bin as they have done
the last few days he would continue to
operate the works to its fullest capacity,
and give employment to all Martins
Ferry men that he needed. He said
they had run nine shops the last two
days, and have done fairly well.
Local Union No. u OF the Flint
Glassworkers, of Martins Ferry, held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed the bomb throwing that was
done last Thursday morning. They say
they do not care to blame the blame
laid on them, as members of the union
are not the guilty parties, nor did
they have anything 10 do with 1t.
Every man in the union has been
appointed as committee of one TO try,
II possible, to unearth the perpetrators
Of the outrage. The committeeman on
this are Jacob Rosenthal, Geo. Harris
and II. w. Gaudng A committee Of
five. consisting of VIM. DuDfee, Geo.
Harris, Jacob Rosenthal, James Nc
Caffrey and George Rizor, have been
appointed for the special purpose of
attending the next meeting of the citi-
zens and explain matters 10 them.
From this it seems as though the local
union do not want any of the blame
thrown onto them ana will make he
roic effort to clear themselves OF blame
for such deed.
They have taken hold of the matter
in earnest, from all appearance, and are
trying to do the right thing.
Enough special policemen have been
obtained for the purpose of protecting
the works. Two watchmer are on at
the glass works all night.

zens does not seem to have abated in

The solicitor was asked to look up the
law concerning the matter OF Council
Offering rewards, and it was found that
Council had no authority TO offer re-
ward. but they could recommend the

state their opinion on the affair. Among
them were l. Spence. +. d. A. Bremen,
Mathew Mitchell, Mr. Renard, George

thought il absolutely essential to the vel

age the hunting down Of tue people

REIGurER AT RELLAIRE.


The past week the blast furnace has
been idle while connections were max
ing with the new furnace, so il can be
tolerated. The old furnace is ready for
work again, and will be in operation
this week. A week later the new fur
mace will be 10 operation. IL is the in
teutiOn TO operate both furnaces for a
while until the weather settles, when
the old furnace will be let out and re-
paired. In starting up the new fur
mace, the company will employ an add
tional 100 men. The force now en-
ploped by the Nail Company-6OO men
is earning weekly s., 500, or an average
of $3.50 per man. With the addition
OF the new furnace ZOO men will fnd
employment. The capacity of the old
blast furnace is from 200 to 225 tons in
twenty-four hours. The new one can
turn out 225 to ESQ tons. The steel mill
has capacity of about >, 500 tons Of
billets per week. During the last few
weeks the men have averaged about
twO-thirds lime. In reference to the
notice the secretary of the company
sent the AmalgGmated Association and
the intention of tho company as re-
CARDS a new scale, the notice was that
owing TO the agreement when the scale
was agreed upon that either party must
give the other sixty days notice TO void
the scale, 50 the secretary gave the AS
ISOLATION notice that the scale would
expire April l, and that the company
ask that sucn a scale be made as other
mills are working under the Amalga-
mated Association. Just what this will
De was not stated.
The Bsllairs Bridge and Boiler
Works has chad fair run for some
time. They are working on set Of
pipes for the new blast furnace and are
employing seven boiler makers besides
the helpers, etc. Business has been
good aud they have fair outlook:
II is thought now that the Pultuey
glass works will start up tomorrow
again in full. They have had some
trouble there, but it is adjusted and
everything points to favorable run.
The Bernard Brick Works were run
ming last week and made 26, 600 per
day, employing thirty-fve hands. The
probabilities are that unless the weather
moderates they will lay of for a short
while. When in full operation they
work sixty men. They propose to
make a lot of building as we'll as paving
brick. They claim their brick will
build a wall faster than the regular
building brick, being one-half inch
longer, one-half inch thicker and one
fourth inch wider, aud that they will
make as strong wall as ordinary
brick.
The canning factory, situated in the
old Belmont wareroom, is now working
twelve hours. The principal produc-
ton now is catsup. They have car
load sold, and awaiting shipment.
They have no trouble in selling all
their goods.
The Novelty Stamping Company, a
comparatively new venture, is growing
rapidly. They employ IS hands, - Of
whom are girls. Inside Of 60 days they
expect 10 Increase the force to hun
bred hands. The prospect is good, as
they have ready market. This COM
pany has refused orders because of a
lack of capacity. The enameling de-
partment is working night ana day. II
has the heaviest metal press in the Chic
valley. II weighs 30 tons.
