WAS A STRANGE AFFAIR
Victims of the Three-Cornered
Fight Are Recovering.
ACTED IN SELF DEFENSE
Johnson Tells Many Different Stories,
but He Sticks to That One Point.
He Was Attacked by the
Johnstones.

Missoula, Dec. 23.-Dr. S. w. Minshall
came down from Hamilton this morn
ing and returned to the valley town on
the afternoon train. DR.. Minshall is at
tending Bob Johnson, the fellow who
did the shooting on the Skalkaho the
other day. and says that his patient is
not in very good shape, but that his
life is not in danger. Johnson, it will
be remembered. was knocked out by
one of the Johnstones, who hit him in
the head with an AK. The blow landed
on the top of Johnson's head, the ak
evidently striking him broadside, and
CHANGING downward struck him over the
eye with the sharp edge. The scalp
wound is bad one and the cut on the
forehead may result in some complica-
lions.
tombstone, who was shot three times
and then carved by Johnson, is doing
as well as could be expected, but his
wounds are serious. DIR. Reber is at
tending him, and it is thought that one
of his arms will have to be amputated.
He was able to sit up in his bed last
night to have his wounds dressed, but
is weak from exposure and loss of
blood.
Johnson, DIR. Minshall says, is an err
ratio sort of fellow, whose actions for
some time have indicated that he is not
of sound mind and his stories of the
bloody fight up on Skalkaho are all diff
ferent. He sticks to one fact through
all of the variations in his account of
the fight, however. and that is that he
acted entirely in self defense. lie says
that he was attacked by the two john
stones and that he had to shoot to avoid
being killed himself This statement,
however, does not look altogether rea-
sonable, as after he had fired three
shots at Johnstone No. ] and effectually
rendered him hors de combat he
knocked down tombstone No. with u
club and then began to carve tombstone
No. with a big knife. 1t is not thought
that any of the participants In the fight
will die, unless some complications arise
connection with the injuries TO the
tombstone man. who Is badly wounded.
The whole affair is one of the strangest
that has ever occurred in the Bitter
Root country, where they never do any
thing as it is done in other parts of the
world, and the facts in the case Will be

SEARCH ABANDONED.
No Hope OF Finding the BODIES of Bur
rili and Eigbrecht. .

Mssoula, Dec. 23.-The search for the
bodies of Burrill and Eigbrecht, the
men drowned in the Missoula river be-
low the Four Mile rapids. has been
abandoned. There is no hope of ind
ing the remains at present and there is
no doubt that the men are dead. &. r..
Woodwork, who returned from Super
ior last night. says that the men We're
either very careless of else unSkilied
in boating as their craft was nothing
but four planks wide and the wagon
that the men were taking down the
stream hung far over on each side. IL
was securely tied to the boat and the
latter was thus rendered topheaVy and
unmanageabl
The supposition il that when the boat
went through the rapids it Veered
around a little and. the men being UNI
able to right it. swung around so that
the force of the current struck II
broadside. Its topheavy condition made
it easy to upset and il went over with
the men. The bottom of the boat. when
il was found overturned, was stove
through in two places, showing that 1t
must have run against rocks in it's
passage through the rapids The day
was extremely cold and the men We're
probably numbed by exposure before
they struck the icy water. Then they
were doubtless rendered incapable of
action by the chill so that they We're
carried under to their death.

A PRETTY LANDSCAPE.
GIistening Frost Work transformed the

Commonplace Into the beautiful.
Missoula, Dec. 23-No prettier lands
cape picture ever presented itself than
the one that greeted the people of this
city this morning. During the night II
heavy fog rose from the river and set
tied over the city on both sides of the
stream. At midnight the fog was SO
dense that it was impossible To see the
arc lights half way across the bridge.
1t became heavier toward morning, and
there was not a twig on n tree or "a wire

graph lines that was not frosted in most
beautiful designs. Roof, tree and house

the sun broke through the mist toward
noon, the sight was one that battles de-

rough corners smoothed down, and
there was nothing in the picture that
did not please the eye. Unsightly piles

the brilliant morning sunshine. 1t was
a typical Christmas scene. such as Is
seldom witnessed except on Christ

country were blanketed with frost when
they reached town and their drivers
were perfect representations Of the pat
ron saint of the holidays with their
clothing white with the frozen mist and
their hair and boards shining white
with the moisture that had collected
and CONCEALED there. All day the scene
