MDRl: SHOOTING.
The Lumber Yards at Hamilton Again
the Scene OF Mysterious Shooting.

The Lumber Yards at Hamilton Again
tho Scene Of Mysterious Shooting.
The shooting of Tuesday night Il
week ago was again repeated in the
lumber yard of the big mill last
night. This time, however, the un-
known marksman did not come as
near causing 4 human being to shut
lo otf his mortal col as he did On the
former OCCASION.
j. W. Mckenzie, who took the
place Of Baker, the man who SO mar
roWly escaped with his life on the
Sth Of this month while watching in
the lumber yard, was patro]ling his
beat last night about II o'clock.
When passing d space between the
lumber piles, about - yards back OF
the mill Office, Il Shot was fired, pass
ing close to Mci\cnzic's head The
watcliman looked back in time to see
u figure dodge back behind q lumber
pile. Walking to the other end Of the
pile he again saw the figure dodge
behind the pile. This time the
watchman took d shot ut the retreat
ING figure: but without effect. At
this juncture Joe Ialpin and Chas
Dow, who room back Of the mill!
onicc, appeared on the scene, but
nothing could be found Of the mys-
lcriouS marksman.
A peculiar phase in the whole af-
fair is that it does not appear to be
any particular individual that the
mysterious shooter was after, but
simply the person who takes that
particular beat. None Of the other
watchmcn about the mill lor yard have
had any trouble. From last nights
shooting it would appear that the
person doing the shooting does not
intend to be serious, as the place
where the shooting occurred is in i;
open, we'll lighted space and the
watchman could have easily been hit
if the marksman was 50 disposed.
The majority Of people about town
arc, since last nights occurrence
disposed to look upon the whole mat
ter as hoax, However this might
be, the perpctrator Of this alleged
hoax should be apprchcndcd and SC.
vcrcly punished, as the man who
serves us a target in this living dram;
can hardly appreciate the humor OF
such joke. le.-Ilamilton Times,

copper. After the murder, two re-
personalities Of the Damascus Steel
company went with Mrs. Dawson to
the bank where the secret formula
was placed in trust, it being agreed
that it WAS not to be taken out save
by mutual consent. DaWson's agree
ment when the company was formed
was that if he ever became .incapaci-
atek for making the steel the recipe
should be turned over to some other
party and the formula was to be
placed where it could be gotten. Mrs.
Dawson says the company has not
fulfilled its contract and that she is
entitled to it. The company say
they will bring suit, as they want the

Reversed.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Solicitor
General Conrad filed a motion with
the supreme court today to set aside
the judgment entered and grant q
new hearing Of the case Of the North
crn Pacific against Leonard p. Col
burn in order that the United States
may have an opportunity to inter-
venc. He stated that the case in
volvcd the rights Of over 1000 set
tiers. The case was appealed from
Montana, where Colburn claimed
land within the Northern Pacific
grant on settlement made prior TO
to the location of the grant, though
no filing had been made. The in
terror department had uniformly
held that such settlement exempted
the land from the operations Of the
grant. The supreme court took the
opposite view in the Colburn case and
rendered an opinion which the land
officials say must result in ousting
many settlers from their homes all
through the west if allowed to stand.
The court granted stay of mandate
and will consider the motion to set
aside it's acknowledgement.

IT'S FAR REACHING.
The Effect Of the Colder, Sccptcr Failure
Back East.

Wilmington, Del, Dec. 1S.-Quig-
ley Il Mullen, wholesale groccrs, have
failed. Judgments were entered to
sum Of $71, 900. The failure is said
to be due to the financial difficulties
which befcl the Golden Sceptcr Min
ing company, organized in West Vir-
ginia, and in which the members Of
the firm are interested. William D.
Mullen, jr., is the treasurer of the
company, Winfield Quigley is it's gen
cral manager. and among the direct
ors arc ex-senator Higgins and DR..
r. S. Law Of San Francisco. The
property Of the company is situated
in Granite county, Montana. Frazer
& Chalmers, OF Chicago, who had
sold the company the machinery,
made a demand for the payment,
failed to get it and seized the ma.
chincry. The mining company con.
sequently assigned. Sensational de-
velopments are expected.
Chicago, Dec. 1S.-W. ]. Chalmers,
of the firm Of Frazer & Chalmers,
said there was no fraud at all in the
operations Of the Golden Scepter
Mining company Of Montana, and
that neither his firm Or any one else
had lost anything by it. The com
pany had spent SS50.000 in the de-
ve]opment Of the property and needed
500, 900 more to make it renumera-
tive, but the property was Of great
value and would, no doubt, be i'm
mcnsely profitable within short
time.
