and sale Of salmon. He II called the
"medicine" fisherman Of the tril,e; and
he attributes his success to charms and
incantations. His big catches in years
past have filled the local knights bf the
rod with envy. But the white flsher~
men have been studying the nature Of
the salmon, and have acquired such
skill that they now have wonderful
success. A few days ago old Os-kha-

He found the same men there who had
tried to buy and bribe him to divuige
his secrets and his charms. The In.

A Murder in Genesee.

A sensational murder was COM
mitted in Genesee Tuesday night
abought ten o'clock. A man by
the name Of Fox was shot down OH
the street by an unknown assassin.
Mr.. Fox had been in Jackson
saloon where he played game or
two Of billiards, and left that re-
sort to drive to the. old town to at
tend a dance where he had left a
young lady who had accompanied
him there. From the circum-
stances it appears that he had un-
hitched his team from the rack
and was about to take his seat in
the cutter when he was shot and
fell to the ground, letting the team
run away. The shot was heard
by number of people and it at
tracted several different parties TO
the street but no suspicious cir
cumstances were discovered by the
first to investigate the mystery.
Bert Russell, waiter at the Grand
Central hotel heard the shot and
upon proceeding to the place from
whence the sound came found the
vicim lying dead in the mud.
An alarm was sounded and a
search revealed that bullet had
entered the dead mans tace
near the nose and lodged in the
head, and foot prints indicated that
a hasty flight had followed the
shooting, some man running away
through the deep mud. This track
was followed to Cow creek, across
to the Dick Ruddy ranch and
through water breast deep. After
wading the creek the signs indicate
that he halted long enough to
wiring his wet garments. The trail
was followed with difficulty after
leaving the Ruddy ranch but it is
known that he reached Snake river
near Almota and crossed, probably
heading for Dayton, where the
man to whom suspicion attaches at
one time resided. His track was
found on the west side of the Snake
and resumed by the pursuers. The
man who is suspicioned at one
time had trouble with Fox This
suspect after an absence Of year
or more just returned to Genesee.
A man was arrested on suspicion
near Uniontown. He was be.
draggled and seemed to be in great
haste. This man is still held and
he refuses to furnish information o.
his whereabouts or actions on the
> night before. The murdered mar
had gained reputation for indus
try and respectability in and abou
Genesee. He had worked during
; the past year for Mr.. Will Dermott
At the time of the shooting he hae
thirty dollars in his pocket. Dur
5 ing the evening he had let the FEC
: be known that he had some money
and one theory is that he was sho

The one or two mine officials that are
left of the Twin Shaft at 8 o'clock to-
night say it is hard to estimate the
number in the shaft, although they will
reach not less than eighty and from that
to 125.
The accident is similar to that of the
Avondale disaster, which occurred Sep
tember H. 1860, when twenty mine min
ers and laborers lost their lives. The
rescuing party have cleared nearly
900 feet of the debris away and are
propping as they go along. The report
sent out that the body of Superintendent
Langan had been found is not true AT
this hour there are no signs of finding
the men. 1t may take until morning
before they can be reached.
At II o'clock Tonight force of sixty
men from neighboring collieries went
into the shaft to aid the rescuing party.
They will stay until morning. The men
are all old, experienced miners.
At midnight, after looking over the
situation carefully, the leader of the
rescuing party decided the best thing

Joining, into the Twin Shaft, where it
is possible to locate The men. The work
was at once begun and is being pushed
with all the speed possible. This task,
however, will consume three or four
days In the meantime the work will
be pushed by the rescuers in the Twin
Shaft. 1t is now the opinion Of the most
able miners that it will take several
days to find the entombed men.

HARTMAN is FOR TELLER.
HE WILL PRESENT A RESOLU.
TION TO THE CONVENTION.
Wants Republican Electors Nomi-
mated by 1t Instructed to
Vote for Him.

BUTTE CMont), June 2S.-Congress-
man Charles S. Hartman to-day ad-
dressed long public letter to Senator
Lee Mantle, Chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee, outlining his plan
of campaign for free coinage and giving
notice that he will introduce his plan in
the form of resolutions to the State
Convention.
After relating his position and the
positions, past and present, of the Re-
publican party on the silver question,
he says he deeply regrets the necessity
which impels him to decline to aid in
perpetuating the gold standard, with
.ts legitimate and consequent evils upon
the producers and wage earners of this
country.
The substance Of his plan is for silver
Republicans to vote for the electoral
ticket which will in my judgment be
nominated to procure the election of
Henry M. Teller. Mr.. Teller is plat
form in himself. His record as a pro-
tectionist is read with pride by every
advocate of the great principle, and as
a leader of the bimetallic forces he is
the natural and logical candidate for
President. / shall present to the State
convention resolution 1nSIructlnS the
electors nominated by it to vote for
Mr. Teller for President and for no
ether man who is not in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l, and also instructing
the present representative in the Fifty
fourth Congress that in the event the
election should be thrown into the
House of Representatives he shall vote
for Henry NJ. Teller and for no other
man who is not unequivocally in favor
Of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of IS to II
Mr. Hartman's plan to keep the silver
Republicans within the party lines is
vigorously opposed by Hon. Thomas G.
Merrill, Treasurer of the American BIZ
metallic Union. Mr. Merrill said in an
interview to-day that it would be the
surest way to throw the election into
the House of Representatives, where
2S12 votes would be cast for a gold
standard man and Is for a bimetallist
and making positive the election of a

He had just returned from Chicago,
where he had been called upon urgent
business. The honeymoon was scarcely
over, and, besides, It was his first alb
sence from her side since they were
made one. The three days of his alb
sence had seemed to both like three
long years; but now he had returned
and she was in his arms once more,

vows of eternal fidelity exchanged.

And you will never gamble, either
will you, dear?" she asked

bacco again, my idol?"
Never, never again, my dear, since
you wish it So.
And she believed him, in her womans
way and "all was merry as a marriage

But he mentioned his valise, and
little struggle ensued. He would go and
get the valise, he said.
No; no; he was tired; she would get
it.
No, no
But yes, yes. Was she going to let
him walk across the room for a nasty
cid valise, and he so tired? How could
he think her so cruel? No, indeed. She
would go and get it herself, and open it
for him, too, and so. there.
When she said 80, there" he knew
there was nothing else for him but to
submit gracefully, and he submitted.
But alas for what followed.
She opened the vailse! What was In
it? One large empty flask, one meer-
chaum pipe, one pack of playing cards,
new; three packs, ditto, old; few poker
chips, SundrieS.
That was all.
