MANSlAUGHTER
James j. Murray Unintentionnl'y
Shoots Robert Robinson Dead
in His Tracks.
He Is Held to Answer 4 Charge OF
Manslaughter Under $1,000
Bail.

A tragedy occurred Sunday night at
SAND Coulee, which cast a gloom over
that camp, and as a result of which one
man lies cold in death and another will
doubtless carry with him a life long
feeling of remorse, to say nothing of the
criminal charge which has been lodged
against him and which be will have TO
meet. 1t is another example of the folly
of the too common practice in these
parts of carrying a gun. The story is as
follows: Sunday last a foot race was
arranged for at Sand Coulee. A young
man named Lee Dennis was to compete
against all corners for a prize of $40. He
won the race and James j. Murray, head
blacksmith at the mines for many
years and a man generally estet Md in
10 the camp, was one of the hackers of
the victor. lie had put a 80 caliber re-
volver in his pocket, thinking, as he
says, that it might be required to start
the race by firing a shot. 1t was not
Murray, who had been drinking some, it
Is dlItScO, duu liz Huu "Ou QUlto d liLtlc
money On the race, commenced firing in
the air. The first shot went up 10 the
air, doing no harm, and as he threw the
gun up till it pointed over his shoulder
for a second shot it exploded, probably
from an unconscious pressure of his fla
ger on the trigger, and the bullet sped
straight behind him, striking a miner
named Robert Robinson just above the
eye and going clear through his head till
it lodged in the base of his brain. He
fell dead in a moment without knowing
what hit him.
A c%oroner's Jury was summoned which
formed a verdict to the effect that the
shooting was accidental. Acting under
instructions from the county attorney
Deputy Sheriff Lochray put Mr.. Murray
under arrest, however, and brought him
into town. He was taken at
once before Judge Race and pleaded not
guilty to a charge of manslaughter. The
court set the date for examination as Fri
day next at 10 a. M, and fixed the bail at
5000. Pending the furnishing of the
bail the prisoner was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff.
Little is known about the victim of the
accident. He is a stranger in the camp,
having only worked there for a couple of
months. He has no relatives in this sec
ton and nothing is so far known
about the residence of his rel.
tives. He will be buried
today, the miners with whom he worked
putting up the funeral expenses.
The accident ia a matter of general
regret in Sand Coulee where Mr.. Murray
has been so long and favorably known.
There is not the slightest doubt that the
shooting was u%nintentional on his part
but that fact does not in its self relieve
him from a charge of manslaughter, and
he may find himself in an uncomfortable
position yet before the law. To a TR1.
BUNE reporter Mr.. Murray expressed the
keenest regret over the affair and stated
that the victim was not even known tc
him personally.

THE GOLD

Among the critics of Secretary Car
isles speech is the st. Louis Republic,
which is not Il free coinage paper. 1t
has this to say: Mr.. Carlisle may
represent an element of his party, but
he does not speak for the controlling
element. With the great majority of
the question is not between a
gold standard and free coinage of silver.
That question they have settled. The
only doubt in the democratic mind is
whether the United Statee, having
abandoned in company with other
nations bimetallic coinage, a safely
restore the old ratio without the co
operation of other nations. Some demo-
Gratis believe and all hope that the old
ratio can be restored without impairing
the obligation of contracts. Others be
lieve that this government should fix a
time for opening it's mints to free coin
age of silver: and should in the meantime
investigate carefully the conditions
which affect the values of the metals.
Free coinage of gold and silver will
be the currency platform OF the next
democratic national convention. The
democratic party will declare for free
silver coinage and will nominate for the
presidency a western nan who believes
in free coinage.'
The latter sentence about hits the
nail ON the head.

TIL WILD A
Civilization Does Not Agree with the Old
Wanderer.

Civilization Does Not Agree with the Old
Wanderer.
Special to The Tribune.
BUTTE, May 24.-The Montana wild
man will not be on exhibition this even.
ing. The high living to which he has
been subjected during his residence in
Butte proved too much for him, and now
for the first time in forty years he is
under the care of a physician.
Pettingill, the wild man, who has been
on exhibition for several Gays, is q
strange character and takes unkindly to
civilization, and when roped and brought
to the city every inducement was offered
him to take up his abode inside the city
limits. He is as restless as a wild beast,
however, and fatty refused. He said he
preferred sleeping outside in the open
air and during the last few nights after
his engagement closed he would wander
down by the roadhouse and select some
soft spot on the ground and make his
couch. Once several of the men who
are interested 10 him prevailed upon
MIN to enter a cabin, but he positively
refused to lie down on the bed and for
a few hours composedly slept on the
floor. But the confinement seemed to
him to be uncomfortable and be got away
from the men and enjoyed the rest of
the night in the open air. This morning
he failed to show up and a search was
made for him down by the road house.
After several hours he was found
stretched out zeal the Isele mine and
was loaded into a wagon and taken to a
cabin, where a doctor was summoned
to attend him. When asked what was
the matter the wild mar replied that
some time during the night he heard a
jack rabbit prowling around his bed,
and not having eaten any rabbit since he
came to Butte he determined to run him
down. Unfortunately he forgot that he
was not in his native haunts and before
be had gone far he stumbled into a pros
pect hole and nothing but his agility
saved him from falling to his death, sew
eral hundred feet below. His only re
greet was that the rabbit escaped.

But the Sowor's Costume Was Entirely
in Advance of the Season.
In the old-fashioned almanac the page de-
voted to April was adorned with the figure of
a man in his shirt-sleeves, wearing straw
hat and scattering seed from huge apron.
He set an example of industry. but not of
dress to us who know that April never passes
without many overcast, bleak bitter day.
In such weather we are liable to prosaIc
bothersome colds that stop up our noses,
make our eyes water and stiffen the muscles
of our backs and limbs, SO that we wonder if
We are growing old.
Not bit of it. The blood is sluggish and
does not carry away broken down tissue-the
ashes of the body. Duffy's Pure Malt W Whisky
changes all this 1t is an honest medicinal
stimulant helpful to revive the tagging
strength when sudden changes of tempera-
ture try the body sorely.
1t qutckens the circulation and d1ffuses
healthtul and most welcome warmth through
the body. Often we find people complaining
at this time of year that after exposure it
takes them q long time to get thoroughly
warm. A spring cold has gripped them with
Its gaunt, icy fingers. Let them assist the
processes of life with Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky and the clutch OF the intruder is
