Omaha, Neb. March 1S.-A special to
the Bee from Butte, Mont, says: Some
time Friday Mrs. w. E. Holton, a re-
spectacle woman residing alone ON a
ranch in an isolated part of Keya
Paha county was outraged and lynch
ed. The crime Is credited to the vigil
antics of the district, who believe her in
league with cattle rustlers. Some
thing rustlers committed the crime in
revenge for evidence against them
furnished by the woman.
Persons passing the ranch Saturday
found the body and reported the mat
ter today. The coroner found $50 on
the Woman's person, which is regarded
as certain evidence that the crime was
not committed by tramps as at first
supposed. Her struggle for life had
been a. hard one. The bedding and
clothing OF the woman were torn and
scattered about the building. Her
shoes had evidently been removed,
probably by herself preparatory to GO
ing TO bed, when surprised by the
lynchers. The woman had evidently
been outraged before she was strung
up and everything points toward y
premediated plan for the comSunlma-
ton Of the dastardly deed. No war
rants have yet been made, but meet
Ing Of the citizens Of the neighborhood
was held yesterday and 1t was decided
that prompt measures should be tax.
en-, and 1t is expected that another and
possibly several hangings Will take
place before long. Several persons are
under suspicion and these parties win
be taken and compelled to confess.
The latest report is that man named
Is implicated in some way with the
lynchers and 1t Is thought that he can
De forced into confession.
A number Of the alleged rustlers were
recently arrested and taken to Spring
View. where they broke Jail and es-
capped to the reservation, where they
were afterwards recaptured and con-
victed. The proximity of the Indian
reservation to the scene of the depreda-
ton makes 1t possible that a United
States deputy marshal may have to
make the arrests If warrants are sworn

Mint at Carson City, New dn, Has Sprung a
Mysterious Leak.

Mysterious Leak.
Carson, New, March 1S.-Andrew Ma
son, government mint inspector and
superintendent of the New York assay
department, has ben in Carson for the
past week inspecting affairs at the
United States mint in this city. An
article in this evenings Tribune to
this effect has given rise to rumors
that something was wrong at the mint,
as heretofore the presence of govern
ment inspectors has been known to the
public on the day of arrival. The fact
that so much secrecy has been OBJ
served caused ugly rumors and this
evening 1t was learned from Hirsch
Harris. meter and refiner, that some
thing was wrong at the mint and a
shortage had been discovered about
month ago. 1t was learned that some
thing over $4,000 had mysteriously dis
appeared and that five clean-ups which
were made in quick succession, as it
was thought that some clerical error
had been made, failed to reveal the
cause of the shortage. Refined gold and
silver to that amount has disappeared
from the melting and refining depart
ment and Inspector Mason expects to
be able to clear up the mystery in a day
or two. Mr.. Harris also stated that
the reason so much secrecy was observ-
ed was that 1t was not deemed advis-
able to give the matter publicity as
that might prevent the discovery and
recovery of the loss. No direct charges
have been made as yet and it will pro-
badly be some time before the mystery
Is unraveled.
The presence of General Bob Heating
in Carson to whom several mint en-
ployes, including Superintendent Adams
owe their positions, is significant fact.
