The Electors of That City Will Soon Vote
on the Matter Of Bonding.
The city hall question came up in
the city council of Livingston last
Thursday evening, says the Standard
in the form ola report from the COM
mittee in favor of submitting to the
voters at the spring election the pro-
position to bond the city for the pur-
chase of site and the erection of
creditable hall. A minority report
was also submitted, favoring the sub
mission of two propositions-one for a
$1,000 hall on the right-of-wsy and the
ether for more expensive building.
The question came up as to whether a
dual proposition submitted to the vot-
ers would be in conformity to law. It
was the prevalent idea that the form
cf the ballot must be ''bonds, yes; bonds
no." In order to have time to deter
mine this point, the two reports were
laid over for a special meeting.

&. ID. B. Turner, who was in from
Richmond Flat last Saturday, speak
ing of mining in and about the Flat he
said:
The recent developments in the
most prominent mines are certainly
encouraging to their owners and it is
expected that several additional COM
panles will be operating in the early
spring. It is stated on good authority
that the Revenue company are more
than satisfied with their results during
the last few months. Their ore is of a
higher grade than any the present
company have extracted formerly.
They mine and mill about 30 tons per
day. Mr.. Dunham. general manager
OF that company, when interviewed
about his recent trip to Cripple Creek
considers that camp very much over
done in advertising. but that there are
few good mines there. The writer
is pleased to think that his energies
may still be left for Richmond Flat.
The Monitor or Artic mine is now
down to a depth Of 22O feet vertically.
The mine has never looked better at
any former time Their rich ore is
still continuous.
"Their vein is about Is inches wide
and the vein between walls about II
feet. From every indication, Mr.. S. X.
Knox considers his chances to strike
another large chute at an early date
and is already making preparations to
sink his vertical shaft 100 feet deeper
The Columbus company are still doing
little work and taking out some good
ore.
"COl. J. H. Johnson is making ar
rangements to put up small mill to
treat their milling ore. The body of
the milling ore is large in the middle
and will we'll warrant the outlay. He
has not yet decided on the process, but
thinks very favorably of the cyanide
process, a process which the Revenue
company have determined to be per-
feet success for the treatu ent of the
Richmond Flat ores.
sd. NJ. Hagerty is working the Black
Prince location. He has struck a very
nice body OF shipping ore is very hope
full of the results.
"The Stone mill and mining COM
pany is again reorganized by Col. J.
H. johnson. Mr.. Geesey, German
now holds the controlling
stock. He has started development
work by awarding the contract of sink
ing shaft down the incline of the vein
100 feet to Will l.. Johnson. After
this is done, he intends running levels
to connect with the old working of the
Rose Bud. If the property develops
Mr.. Geesey proposes to
erect a srnelter as the ore Of the mine

MILTON AGAIN IN LIMBO.
He is Wanted in Helena on an Old
Charge.

He is Wanted in Helena on an Old
Charge.
Milton Claypoole, the young man
who purloined horse from White
hall liveryman, was tried before Justice
McGown Saturday, and by consent was
allowed to plead guilty to the charge
of petit larceny, fined $40 and costs and
discharged, friends in the east having
sent money to relieve his distress.
He had breathed the pure air of lib
erty but few days when Sheriff Haines
received message from Sheriff Jun
gers of Helena, asking him to hold
Claypoole on charge of horsestealing,
the offense having been committed in
Helena some time ago. Claypoole was
promptly locked up and now awaits the
pleasure of the minions of the law of
Lewis & Clark.
There are many who believe Clay
poole to be weak mentally. His actions
in this city during the the few days of
liberty, justify, in a measure, this
opinion, and the fact that he steals
horses is further evidence of his in
sanity.
His people reside in Galena, III.
They had not heard from him for more
than 20 years until they received his
telegram, sent at the time of his arrest,
asking for money for his defense. The
reply was prompt and material. Ac-
companying the draft was a brotherly
letter demonstrating with Milton on
the error Of his way, and asking him to
come home and lead better life, but
under the circumstances, Milton will
have to send his regrets. With his
Virginia record behind him, he will
probably be compelled, when the Lewis
& Clarks courts get through with him,
to take up his residence for a stated
period with Messrs. Conley & McTague
of Deer Lodge.

There Was An Abundance Of Giant
Powder Scattered About.

One who visited the Madisonian
mine short time after the explosion
states that 30 or 40 sticks of giant pow
der were scattered all over the ground
near the shaft house, presumably by
the explos on. This being the case it
is a wonder that any vestige of the
shaft house remains.
A horse, tied in able only a short
distance from the shaft house. escaped
uninjured, but was trembling with
fright when the men arrived at the

and yesterda she brotght suit in the Phila-
delphia courts to recover 100000 from her
father in-law, Frederick A. Poth, the
wealthy Philadelphia brewer, charging him
with malicious prosecution. She alleges
that it was he who dragged her into court

reflected upon her honor.

SUPERIOR MERIT.
Remarkable Curative Properties of
New Remedy for Indigestion
and stomach Wea kness.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, new prepar-
alton for the cure of dyspepsia and the
various forms of indigestion and stomach
trouble, owes its great success as Il cure for
these troubles to the fact that 1t is prepared
for disease and weakness of the stomach
and digestive organs only and is n OF recon-
mended or advised for any other disease
1t is not n cure e-all, but for any stomach
trouble IL is undoubtedly the safest, most
sensible remedy that can be advised with
the prospect of a permanent cure. 1t is
prepared in tablet form, pleasant to taste,
composed of vegetable and fruit essences,
pure pepsin and Golden Seal, every one of
which act effectively in digest ing the
food eaten, thereby resting and invigorat-
ing the weak stomach; rest is natures cure
for any disease, but you cannot rest the
stomach unless you put into 1t something
that will do its work or assist in he di-
gestion of food. That is exactly what
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do, one grain
of the digestive principle conta ined in
them will digest 5000 grains OF meat,
egg, or similar wholesome foods. They will
digest the food whether the stomach is in
working order OF not, thereby Dourishing
the body and resting the stomach at the
same time, and rest and nourishment is
natures cure for any weakness. In persons
run do wn in flesh and appetite these
tablets build up the strength aud increase
flesh, because they digest flesh forming
food which the weak stomach can not do;
they increase the flow OF gastric juice aud
prevent fermentation, acidity and sour
watery risings.
Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets can be found
At all drug stores at 90 cents per puckage.

ASSAULT ENDED In MURDER
The Atrocious Crime Was Com
mitted at Elkhart, Ind.
Milton Wells, Captured by Mob, Mar
rowly Escaped Lynching-He Is
Thought to Be Crazy.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 17.-One of the
most inhumau crimes that was ever commit
ted in this State, occurred at Elkhart Mon
day night, W hen Milton B. W ellis, a ma chlnist,
employed in the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad shops, attacked Miss Jen-
nic Waters, a highly respected young lady
of this city. Wells gained access TO the
house in some unknown manner and made
IL brutal assault upon the young lady, find
ing her alone.
Shc-struggied With her assailant and sue
ceeded in tearing herself from his grasp,
but the struggle was continued from room TO
room, till Wells drew Il revolver and fired
Two shots. one OF the bullets striking her in
the mouth and the other lodging back OF her
left ear. Stunned by the shots. she fell to
the floor in a semiun conscious state, when
Wells took can of kerosene that was
in the house, poured the fluid ON her cloth
ing and then set IL on fire.
The pain brought her TO Consciousness
and she rushed out into the yard, where
she was seen by some of the neighbors,
who finally tore her clothing off and thus
queDched the flames.
Miss Walters then told the story MS best
she could. and an excited and maddened
crowd started after the fiend. Ropes were
secured at Il Deighboring store and hun
dreds of people joined in the search, swear
ing that they would hang Wells If he
were caught. The officers of the law
finally found him near the shops and were
conveying him to Jail when they were set
upon by the crowd and Wells forcibly
taken from them. The sheriff summoned
number of citizens, and the prisoner was
rescued and lodged in Jail amid the most
intense excitement. Wells was consid-
cred a quiet, iDoffensive man, and the
officers believe that he became suddenly
insane. Forty men stood guard over the
prisoner and the mob reluctantly with
drew.
Miss Walters suffered intensely during the
night and until O O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, when she died in terrible agony. She
was twenty-four years old and stood high
| in the estimation of all who knew her.
| Wells is about fifty years old, n widower,
and those who know him can explain his
actions only on the theory that he is ip-
| sane. During the day the excitement has
been at fever heat, and late yesterday even
| ing the prisoner was transferred to the Jail
| at Goshen for safe keeping, the officers feel
| ing that they could not protect him during
| the night, as hundreds of persons We're COM
| ing to the city, and the Indignation seemed
| to be increasing every moment.
