Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Deer Lodge, March PA. d. Nc
Manimie. who belongs to the vanguard
OF the summer crop of tramps, arrived
In town on the noon train, from Mis-
soula- He did not ride In a Pullman
coach. but simply occupied a berth on
Montana Union observation fiat car
with several thousand feet of lumber.
He was dust begrimed, and without
asking any questions. anybody could
estimate his age at three score years
and 10 and his clothes looked as if
they belonged to an antediluvian pc
Rod. After leaving the train he went
directly to the county Jail. and meeting
Jaiier Joe DAILY. told him mis- tale of
woe. He denounced in very bitter
terms certain people in Missoula who
mad accused him of having wheels in
his head and went so far as to consult
firm of attorneys there about bring
ing suit against the newspapers in
Missoula that had published a state
ment that he was of unsound mind.
but on being advised by his ATTORNEYS
that all of the Missoula papers were
heavily mortgaged, he reconsidered his
determination. The Missoula CORE
spondent of the Standard also came in
for good share of his wrath because
he had stated that McManimie had
been discharged from the poor farm
and ordered to leave town. This he
emphatically denied and wanted to
Know II there was a newspaper pub
lished In the town of Deer Lodge that
would give him space to place himself
straight before the people. He said he
was anxious to procure work. but could
hnd nothing to do, as Cleveland's ad-
ministration had made a pauper out of
him. He intimated that he was a
strong sympathizer of the A. 2. A.
movement in this country and was now
looking for a community whose gov
eminent was controlled by that sect.
He was directed to the city of Butte.
where he could find his haven of rest.
and when last seen he was heading in |
that direction.
One of these fine mornings the people |
of Deer Lodge will probably be startled |
with the news that a bloody duel has |
been fought on the field of honor The |
trouble occurred in down town resort |
a few evenings ago between two WELL |
known citizens which resulted in a |
challenge being issued by the aggrieved |
party the following morning, and un-
less ample preparation is forthcoming
in the form of an apology, trouble can
be looked for. The challenge is in the
following unmistakable language:
Deer Lodge, Mont, March %, 1885,
To personally. Last evening,
that of the 21st inst, about the hour of |
IL O'Clock p. m. you, without cause,
offered me an insult which must be re-
tracted, or satisfactory explanation
made in the manner or form of an
apology. The epithets applied to me by
yourself are not of a character to sug-
gest acQuiescence. Hence in my cooler
moments I ask that protection which
nature provides and an even opportu-
nifty to shield my more frail physical
structure against one OF more huge
proportions. Therefore you will please
designate time and place to adjust the
late unpleasantness, also the manner in
which the said unpleasantness shall be
adjusted. Regretting
that my feelings prompts this some
what antedated reference to the code
of honor. you will please pardon the
humiliating spirit in which It is writ
ten. Whatever expenses that may be
incurred in carrying out the foregoing
provisions will be borne by the under
signed. Yours. -"
The person challenged is a very pow
erful man, weighing in the neighbor-
hood of $50 pounds, while his adversary
is small and short of stature. For this
reason the challenger concluded that
he did not want fisticuff combat, but
generously conceded his opponent his
choice of weapons. The friends of the I
two have made efforts to patch up the
difficulty between them, but It looks as
II they would be accorded belligerent
rights before the end of the week.
