SHOOTING AT DRUMMOND.
Herb. Morse, Through Jealousy, Shoots
Miss Vera Leyden.

Miss Vera Leyden was shot by Herb.
Morse at Drummond last Monday
morning at about 1 o'clock.
1t seems that young Morse. who is
between 16 and II years Of age, became
infatuated with the young lady, who
is employed at his mothers hotel and
attempted to take her life by shooting.
It appears from what can be learned
that Morse became jealous and entered
Miss Leyden's room with revolver in
his hand and when she attempted to
run away from him he shot her in the
back, the ball striking between the
shoulders.
DR.. w. E. Spottswood. of Missoula,
was summoned, but after probing for
the bullet he was unable to locate it,
Miss Leyden is well and favorably
known in Philipsburg, where she bas
resided for two or three years. She
has married sister here, Mrs. Gus
Westlund. whose husband is employed
at Combination as carpenter.
Young Morse was about to go to Hell
ena to attend college, where he has
been in attendance before, at the Wes-
leyan University, and it is stated that
his mother. Mrs. Thomas Morse. one
of the most highly respected residents
Of Drumnond, was i'll the Capital City
at the time of the shooting making
arrangements for her son continuing
his studies. He was arrested immedi-
atty after the shooting and was ar
raigned before Judge Ferguson of New
Chicago, Tuesday. He waived exam
ination and was held to the district
court in the sum of 81, 500.
Miss Leyden was brought to Philips
burg on Thursdays train and is stop
ping at the residence of August Eek.
1t is pretty positive that she is in no
great danger. and with good care will
come out all right again.

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
j. S. Thorp Relieved Of 5000 by High
Waymen.

J. S. Thorp, the groceryman, was
held up and robbed about 8 O'Clock last
night while returning from Combina-
tion.
1t appears that while on his way
home he was ordered to stop, by two
highwaymen, who were masked This
he declined to do and started his team
on a run. The robbers fired at his
horses and wounded the leader SO that
he fell. They also shot one Of the
others, which, Of course, compelled
Thorp to stop. He whipped ont his
revolver and fired two shots at them,
but neither took effect. The robbers
then leveled their WinchesUers on him
and ordered him to stop firing or they
would shoot. He finally concluded it
best and they came up and relieved
him of what money he had, first tying
handkerchief over his eyes and then
drawing knife across his throat,
probably to scare him. At any rate,
the robbers got something like $780,
Mr.. Thorp does not know the exact
sum himself. Besides the loss of his
money he will probably lose two of his
horses, as there is little hope of their
recovery.
A man was in company with Mr..
Thorp, but he, being unarmed, was
able to do nothing to prevent the rob-
berry.
Mr.. Thorp returned to Philipsburg
and reported the robbery to the authori'
ties, though up to the hour of going tc
press they had not been apprehended.

FABULOUSLY RICH FLOAT.
The mysterious Prospector" Hunting
for Another Rich Vein.

Sam Snyder has couple of men at
work on the Roxie claim, in the Red
Lion district. The property is situa.
ted on the Rumsey slope and is about
two and one-half miles distant from
that village and about 1900 feet north
of the Fairstake property.
Mr.. Snyder says that float has been
picked up on the ground assaying
from $1,000 to $4,000 per ton. The
claim was located ON the 18th of July
last and since that time he has run a
cut $50 feet long and eight feet deep
to bedrock, hunting for the lead. He
has finally come upon ledge which so
far shows twelve feet Of quartz,
though he has not yet done enough
work upon it to determine it's value or
to satisfy himself that it is the source
of the rich float found SO prom iscuous-
ly scattered about the vicinity. If the
lead is OH the ground we will wager
that Sam will find it.
