THEY SHOOT FOR A BRIDE.
Two New Jersey Boys Decide Who Shall
Have the Girl by n Shooting Bee.

From the Knoxville Sentinel.
Few girls can boast OF having had
the pleasure of witnessing Two lovers
contest for her heart and hand in a
friendly way. Recently in Hamilton
township, near Trenton, n. j.. Oscar
Haywood and James Morris, rivals for
the affections of Hamilton belle, de-
cided to settle in a shooting tourna-
ment which should give way to the
other. Both We're crack shots, and the
match was watched with a good deal of
interest by 400 people. The young wom-
an sat in a big farm wagon a short
distance away and watched the pro-
ceedings with interest. Occasionally
she would applaud the shooters, and
once her actions We're regarded by the
spectators an an indication of a de-
cided preference for one of the rivals.
The target was a pine disc on the
top of a lath at a distance of 16 rods
from the taw. The disc was four inches
in diameter, and it was required of the
marksmen that they should make four
shots stick in the target. If they failed
to do that their shot counted for moth
ing. 1t was turkey shoot, and the
match for the girl did not come off un-
til all the birds had been won. Hay
wood took chance in the shooting
for the fowls. and got his hand in, but
Morris did not arrive till late and he
had but a few minutes in which to fa-
milariZe himself with the range.
AT the first shot Morris failed to
make the four stick. Three of the dead
pellets went into the wood but the
fourth fell out. Haywood felt that he
had decidedly the best of the bargain
and he went to the taw for the next
shot With a smile of triumph on his
face. Once more he put the four shots
inside the disc Morris followed him
with a score. His only hope was in
Haywood missing, but there was little
to encourage him, for the man was
shooting With a remarkably steady
nerve. But Haywood was over-conf-
dent, and on the ninth snot he man
aged to get only two shots in the
ring. The score was now lie. and the
men went to the mark for the tenth
shot with determination to make no
mistake in their aim. Haywood took
careful aim and fired
Three shot" called the referee.
Haywood had missed the mark the
second time. Morris stepped up to the
chalk mark. took long sight and fired.
-Four shot" cried the referee, and
Morris had won the girl.
Preparations are now being made for
the wedding, which is to come off in
few weeks. The bride is quite satisfied
over the result of the contest, as Nor
ris was already her fayorite lover. 1t
is expected that Haywood will act as
best man at the ceremony.

PACIFIC SLOPES PATENT
Interior Department Directs That
Tt Be Issued Forthwith.
DECISION OF INTEREST
The Known Existence of the Lode at
the Date of the Butte Townsite's
Entry Takes 1t Out of the
Townsite's Patent.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Jan. 1.-THE Helena land Office
has just received decision rendered
by Acting Secretary of the Interior
Ryan, which will prove of considerable
interest in Butte. 1t is in the case of J.
{. G. Thornton ct al. VS.. the Butte town
site, involving the Pacific Slope lode
claim, and directs that patent issue at
once to the mineral claim, if there is no
reason for Withholding the patent other
than the conflict with the Butte town
site. This case has been pending in the
land department IL years. A hearing
was had, ut which 1t was determined
that the Pacific Slope lode was known
to exist at the date of application To en-
ter the townsite and under the holding
of the department at that time ii was
recommended to the department of JUS
tice that suit be instituted to vacate the
toWnSite patent to the extent of he con-
hict with the Pacific lode claim. Fer
some unknown reason this suit was
never instituted and for several years
10 action whatever in the case was had.
In February, 1897. Washington counsel
for the mineral claimants made appl-
cation to the commissioner of the gem
eral land Office to have the case taken
up and acted upon under the decision
in the South Star case. which permits
pass upon the known existence of a lode
claim at the date of application for pat
ent for placer claim, making unneces-
esary action by the department of JUS
tice To yacate the patent. Counsel for
the mineral claimants insisted that the
same rule applies in the case of town
site entries. and the secretary of the
interior fully sustains them in this con-
tention, holding that the fact of the
known existence of the lode at the date
of the townsite entry having been es-
tablished by a hearing in the land de-
partment. and by the records in the case,
the Pacific lode is expressly excepted
from the townsite patent and therefore
the mineral claimants are entitled to a
patent.
In reference to the town lots that may
be involved, the secretary says: If it
be suggested that the right to the Use
of the town lots will be seriously inter-
fered with by the recognition and pat
enting of the mining interest therein,
this is answered by reference to section
1856 Of the revised statutes wherein
such interests are distinctly recognized"
This phase of the subject is then dis
posed of by quoting the section referred
TO. The secretary oVerrules all decis-
ions i'll conflict with this and directs
that the patent issue to the mineral
claimants for the Pacific slope lode.

AN OD0R OF COAL OIL
1t May Have Been Caused By the Ex-

1t May Have Been a Case
OF Incendiarism.

| An early morning blaze which. in the
opinion of the chief of the fire depart
ment, was of incendiary origin. or else
started from the explosion of lamp,
did considerable damage yesterday to
the residence of w. +. Deeney. at 1907
West Granite street A portion of the
house was completely gutted. and all
the walls were ruined by smoke and
heat.
The fire occurred a few minutes after
4 o'clock in the morning. neighbof
going home late saw smoke issuing
from the building in great volumes, and
giving the alarm, the neighbors We're
aroused and an alarm was turned in
from box 45. The neighborS running
to the house, aroused Mrs. Deeney, who
was alone and might have suffocated
but for the arrival of the friends. She
dressed hurriedly and escaped out of a
rear door with the baby. BY this time
the fire had much progress that 1t was
impossible to remove the contents of the
building. and only a book case was
saved.
The fire department responded
promptly and did good work i'll saving
the building from destruction. The fire
evidently started in the kitchen. where

Through the rooms. IT is taken for
granted that the lamp was the cause,
although Mrs. Deeney did not hear any
noise as of an explosion: in fact, heard
nothing and knew nothing of her danger
until the neighbors came pounding at
the door.
Mr.. Deeney was on duty al his saloon

knew nothing of il until his telephone
rang and he was informed that he had
been burned out. In estimating his loss

Insurance to cover a mortgage. and the

Flannerys estimate of the loss is not
as great as Mr.. Deeney's but he stated
last evening that he had no means of
