HE MAY BE SULLIVAN.
Henry iIImeye Tells of Passing u MAJ"
ON the Road Near Mill creek """
He Thinks Is Reagan's Murderer'

man who may be sullivan, the
murderer of Patrick l.. Regan, was
seen Yesterday afternoon at Mil creek
Henry Billmeyer of his city was com,
ing over from Butte on his wheel, ana
when he reached a point about haii a
mile east of the Montana Meat com
nany's slaughter houses on MIL creek
he nassed two men standing by the
side of the road. The first thought that
flashed through Billmeyer's MIND was
that one of the men was sullivan.
He came to this conclusion from the
fact that the mans description Tailed
almost exactly with the published de-
scription of the supposed murderer or
Regain. The man had scratches on his
face. which is one of the marks by
which the officers have to identlfy sui
Ivan. The only discrepancy
the description of Sullivan's clothing
and that worn by the man seen by
BiImever is that the latter wore a
black SLOUGH hat, while sullivan is said
to have worn a light colored hat.
When Billmeyer passed the man
whom he thinks is Sullivan was talk
ing to an elderly man, who was appar-
emily a w~orkingman, for a roll OF
blankets rested on the ground beside
him. The man whom Billmeyer thinks
is sullivan wore his hat pulled down
over mis- eyes, in such a manner as to
shade his face. He scarcely glanced up
as Billmeyer passed, and that gentle
man says he appeared to be rather a
nervous individual.
Billmeyer, coming to the conclusion
hat the man was Regan's murderer,
proceeded to the Montana Meat COM
pany's slaughter house and telephoned
to his city, stating what he had seen
and what his impressions were. The
sheriff's office was notified m last
evening Deputy Sheriffs Schurt and
McGuinness left i'm a buggy for Mill
Creek. The officers returned to this
city at l o'clock this morning, having
searched the country between Mill
Creek and Gregson Springs thoroughly.
They found one stranger, but he was
not the man. 1t is possible that Sulli-
van. IL it were really he. may rave
made for the mountains after Billmeyer
saw him, in which event nothing could
be done until daylight this morning.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Ben Falk Run Over by a Careless
BicycIist.

BicNclist.
a evening Mrs. Ben Falk was run
into and knocked dow by a s~corching
~bicyclist on East Park avenue. The
name of the mar who rode the bicycle
is not known, and the police were UNI
able TO find him last night.
Mrs. Falk was thrown to the ground
with great force. She was picked up
in an unconscious condition. At l
O'Clock this morning she was still un-
conscious and il is feared that the re-
suit of her injuries may be serious. Mrs.
Falk is an elderly lady and rather
feeble. The shock, therefore, may be
very serious in its consequences.
The bicyclist, who is said to be an
Austrian, rode a rented wheel. AS soon
as the accident occurred he made off in
a hurry. leaving his wheel behind him.
He is evidently hiding, for the police
have not been able to find him.
Those who saw the accident say that
the man was riding at a furious pace.
