Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Helena, Dec. 3.-Acting the role OF .
peacemaker came near costing Joe
Kastner. a placer miner and old zesi-
dent OF Helena, his life tonight at the
hands of George Carew. a telegraph
operator employed in the Western
killed is something no mortal can ex-
plain. Unarmed he faced an armed
man who struck him over the head
with a six-shooter and fired all but one
shot at him Only one of the bullets
took effect. hitting Kastner in the
right arm, entering at the wrist and
coming out at the elbow. making what
Is believed to be nothing more than q
flesh wound. This and a bad bruise on
the head from a blow struck by the
pistol. constitute the only wounds he
received in a one-sided mortal COM
bat.
The shooting occurred on Upper Main
street about IL O'Clock, and created
great excitement. giving rise to all
sorts of reports. From what can be
learned of the affair. the shooting was
without "A particle of Justification and
can only be attributed to Carew'S
quarrelsome disposition when under the
influence OF liquor. In which condition
he Is said to be a dangerous man. SO
far as known he and kastner never
had any trouble before. Kastner Is a
quiet sort Of a man. who always at
tends to his own business.
IL seems that about 10 o'clock, while
Carew and some friends were drinking
In a Main street saloon. Tom Murray.
formerly Of Boulder and a fellow whose
name cannot be learned. got into an
alteration that brought on blows.
Murray was getting the worst Of IL
when Kastner. who was In back
room. rushed out and tried to separate
the two men. Then Carew took a hand
and ne and Kastner had some words.
although II Is not believed any blows
were exchanged. As soon as matters
cooled OF Carew left. He returned in
about an hour and sent word by an
operator friend to Kastner to come out
side. saying something about going
across the street to a beer hall. As
soon as kastner got outside Carew
struck him over the head with the re-
volver. knocking him down. kastner
got up and made a rush at his assaii-
fired at close range. Then kastner ran
across the street into the beer hall in
search of a weapon. a bullet crashing
through the glass window after him.
Police Sergeant Nicholson. attracted
by the firing. rushed upon the scene
and attempted to disarm Carew. when
the latter snapped the gun in the ofli-
GERS face. Fortunately for him. IL did
not go of. As the two men shrugged
for possession Of the weapon. Carew
managed to fire two more shots In the
direction Kastner had gone before be-
ing overpowered and taken to jail
There was quite a number of people
around and how they escaped Is an
other mystery OF the affair. Kastners
wounds are not believed to be serious
He was taken home. Carew has
worked here about two years and IL
unmarried. Kastner returned few
months ago from the Klondike after
making one of the quickest trips out OF
Dawson on record.

British flags were unveiled as a COM
pliment to the Canadian members of
the joint high commission.
Another feature was the appearance
of Uncle Sam with a number of coll
ored children dressed to represent the
Filipinos. and a play was made up OF
the new population which would be
acquired by the Philippines becoming a
part of the United States.
A very laughable skit was the pres
entation of a horse to Gen. II. v. Boyn-
ton. who is one of the charter men,
bers Of the club and also has a mill
tary commission I'm the army. The
horse was one of the stage variety,
and its appearance caused a great deal
of hilarity.

Hedstrom. the Brooklyn man. who nm
ished fourth. had a bad fall i'm the final

MET A FR|GHTFUL DEATH
Six Men Parboiled in q Boiler
Explosion.
THERE WAS NO ESCAPE
The Force OF the Explosion Shattered
the Deck Of the Alamo to
Splinters-Ths Second En-
ginser Hero.

New York. Dec. 3.--Six men of the
crew of the Mallory line steamship
Alamo were killed tonight by the
bursting of a steam pipe while the ves-
sci lay at her pier in East river. The

The Alamo has only recentlv been
discharged from transport service in
the government. She has new steam

sail for Galveston. She carried 30 pas
sengers. At the time OF the accident,
about z o'clock. the ship had cast of
her lines and the tug boat President
had her line taut to assist the Alamo
into midstream. Her engines had made
but two or three revolutions when the
explosion came 1t gave forth a report
that was heard all through South and
Water streets and the force of II sent
a shock and a shiver throughout the
length of the ship. The flooring of the
deck Immediately over the engine room
was torn into splinters and the steam
poured up through the seams in
clouds.
The sound of escaping steam vas
mingled with the shrieks of the diving
men, who were enveloped in IL. The
flow of the steam was checked with
great difficulty, and not until the larse
of five or six minutes. Then II was
found that IL had completely filled the
engine room and that all who had been
confined had been not only parboiled,
but suffocated by IL. There was no
sign of life left in any of the bodies.
and in several instances the skin had
peeled from their hands and face. The
second engineer was found close to the
break in position which indicated
that he had tried to shut of the steam
at the boiler when the accident oc-
Cured and had died in the attempt.
Two of the firemen were found gripped
i'm one another's arms at the foot of
the ladder leading from the fire hole.

THEY WILL FIGHT IT.
The Question Of Taxation ON state Lands
Taken to the Courts.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Kalispell, Dec. Sat meeting OF the
citizens of Flathead county. who pur-
chased land from the state university
several months ago, when 1t was sold
at public auction. and who were told
by the state land agent selling the
same that it would not be subject TO
taxation until the deed for the same
was delivered to them by the state,
they decided that as the attorney gem
eral holds that their land Is subject to
taxation and the county assessors as
sessed the same upon his opinion. that
they would make a fight against pay
ment of said taxes. and to that end
have employed an attorney to take the
fight through courts and to the state
supreme court for final adjustment
This promises to be very warmly
contested suit. Others who bought land
have paid taxes under protest.

But Full Understanding Reached on the
Canal Question.
Washington. Dec. 3-President Igle-
sias paid his respects to President Nc
kinley to-day. expressing his deep ap-
probation for the splendid reception ex-
tended to him. He made several calls
also on cabinet officers in anticipation
of his departure for New York. and.
after a weeks stay. for London and
Paris. Now that President Iglesias'
visit Is at an end. II Is said by those
near to him that nothing in the nature
Of an entente or formal treaty has come
out of the conference he has had with
public officials, but that these have been
productive of a full understanding.
President Iglesias made it clear that
he favored an international agreement
in which three countries directly inter
ested-the United States. Nicaragua
and Costa Rica-should take common
action to prevent any isthmian canal
from passing into the control of foreign
powers. The authorities. IL is under
stood. have held that nothing in the line
of international agreements was feasi-
BILE until congress had definitely decid-
ed upon a line Of policy as to the canal.
One of Mr.. Iglesias's main purposes
i'm going to London is to forward the
change of the gold standard which
Costa Rica has brought about under
his guidance.

According to the travellers in Spain.
there is little or no feeling against
Americans among the Spanish people
generally. An English visitor. who has

liness or a word OF abuse for Ameri-
cans. II any of them care to come here

one happy to see them.
"a resident in Spain told me that "
an American army marched into the
country IL would be received with open
arms. as many Spaniards had said to
him that IL would be better to have the
good government of America than to
suffer as we do.
THE soldiers who have come home
have given favorable accounts of the
Americans. for whom they seem to
have a real liking"
The movements OF the Mad Muilah
in India have caused some apprehen-
sion. though the latest reports that his
victorious march has been checked by
the friendly Khan OF Robal, who, by n
timely move. has saved the British lines
of communication with the garrison at
Chitral. which the Mad Mullah endeav-
ored to cut. The fanat!cal movement.
however. has taken a strong hold
among the Swats and there is a pros
pect OF another little frontier war"
A British force OF nearly 1000 men
Is now held in readiness for movement
to the front. The followers of the Mad
Mullah are variously estimated at from
5000 to 5000 and their numbers are
growing daily.
