STARTING A FUND.
The Standard Has a Paper That Everyone
should Sign.

Great Falls, July 6.-There was a
meeting of some of those Interested in
the forming of a company fund for
Company A in the city council chamber
this evening. Judge Jere 3. Leslie was
made chairman and j. @. -. Thompson
secretary. The chair asked z. Kelly to
state what had been done in that line
and also to suggest what might be aC-
complished. The gentleman stated that
he had been out and made a private
collection for the purpose, and it had
occurred to him that a public meeting
would be likely to swell the fund and
get others. interested. He thought that
the principal thing was to appoint a
further committee to make a tour of
the city in the anne quest. The chair
said hat he nae given the subject lit
tie thought personally, but was willing
to contribute literally, and he believed
hat the other citizens of the county
would do the same. He did not know
the needs of Company A, nor Just what
the government was supplying.
L. G.. Phelps said that he had heard,
through the pap hat a popu-
lar subscription was being taken and
thought that IL was a good thing, and
one which would get more money than
perhaps any other form. A committee
could be chosen to visit the smelter and
other less accessible places. Every

believed that with the sum of the con
tribution limited, every one would feel

comparison with others.

tween % cents and 81. and the money

UNSUITABLE HOMICIDE.
The Verdict Brought In by the Coroner's
Jury at Augusta.


Great Falls, July 6.-From Augusta
people in the city to-day II Is learned
thai the immediate cause OF the shoot
ing there yesterday morning was a
quarrel over some horse races. VIII
liam Mole Cor Noel), the man who was
shot, was an employee of the F1oweree
ranch, and, with two others,
the celebration at Augusta. James
Harmon, who did the shooting, had re-
fused TO take a bet on a horse race,
and when the Floweree man, who was
Interested in the race, pressed him for
a reason for his refusal. he made a
remark which questioned the fairness
of the name in which the races were
conducted. The Floweree men took ex-
ception TO this remark and followed
Hannon about town, seeking further
cause for a fight. They finally cornerei
him at the livery stable run by Nett
e. Parker, and then the trouble en-
sued. as reported in yesterdays stand
ard.
Noel was the largest OF the F1oweree
trio. and when his companions saw
him fall they mounted their horses and
rode away. amor is about IS years
of age and a rancher, who had lately
gone INTO the cattle business. He was
known as a man of quie' ~.bits and
peaceably disposed. Noel was about
rs wears old and a COW puncher by oc-
cupation. He was but little Known
around Augusta. Harmon is some
what known in this city. as he has
acted as guide to a number of camp-
ing parties bound for the warm springs
of the Sun river. This afternoon Han

new went TO Helena to surrender him
self to the authorities there in order
to settle the matter as quickly as posi-
