THREATS Of A LYNCHING
Two of the johnson Brothers at
Augusta Are Insane.
WATCHED BY NEIGHBORS
They Have an Idea That Their Cattle
Are Being Run Off of the Range
They May Hold Another
Investigation.

Great Falls, Jan. 13.-Word was
brought tonight from Augusta that
two of the three Johnson brothers who
were recently examined as to their san
ity at Helena, have become crazy again
and are being watched by their neigh
bors, two or three of whom are with
them most of the time. The gentleman
who came in this evening from that
place says that three days
after they returned from Helena, the
two older brothers-Albert D. and
George M.-exhibited symptoms of in
sanity ard soon became hopelessly de-
mented. The younger brother, Frank,
appears to he all right.
George tells his brothers and the
neiGhbors who are watching at the
house, that the three of them have been
guilty of grave misdeeds and il is their
duty to make restitution. Two nights
after reaching home he did not sleep at
all. and the thiId night he got out of
bed and attired only in a night shirt
ran across the open prairie until caught
and brought back TO the house. Since
that time he had been raving over yari-
Gus matters, but particularly over
note given years ago TO a party now
deceased back in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa,
which he formerly said was paid but
now declares was not.
The form of insanity which Albert's
madness takes is a belief that his neigh
burs are running The Johnson cattle
every night. and on the day on which
he was arrested he had a fight with a
neighbor named White. Johnson told
White that his brother was running his
cattle. White yentured 10 contradict
him and Johnson knocked him down.
White was about to retaliate when he
saw George Johnson in a nearby corral
with a rifle in his hand and thought it
better under the circumstances to be
discreer.
The Standards informant states that
the little town is thoroughly aroused
over the matter. Many fearing violence
from the Johnsons' insanity are making
threats TO lynch them unless the au-
1herities step in and take care of the
men they deem dangerous. The john
sons as previously stated in the Stand
ard. are welI-to-do cattlemen, and have
always held a prominent place in Teton
county. II is likely that another COM
plant will be made against them and
another investigation had as TO their
sanity

gested that as he was well-known
throughout the state and his reports
on the advantages of following it would
be read with respect by more or less
OF it's citizens, he should be given a
pass over the line. Mr.. Jockey told
him that there were, so he under
stood, many passes on it, but so far as
he knew none We're printed, and the
application would have to be denied
for some time to come.
In speaking of the extent to which
the Standard articles had been copied
by the press of the country. Mr..
Jockey spoke of an eXpeoition which
has left Chicago for the Yukon, and
is going by way of Edmonton. Its
members are from cincinnati. and
they number eight. of whom five are
young men and the rest young women.
At Edmonton they will be joined by
three more men. and they will then
set out overland.

SURVEYORS AT WORK.
They Are Figuring New Grade for
the Railroad nj Bell.

Great Falls, Jan. 13-In to-nights $
issue, the Belt knocker states that q
party of eight surveyors is at work on
the hill above the town of Belt and that
the survey is for a new grade for The
railroad Owing to the fact that the
mines reach back so far and the hill
is so heavy TO pull coal up. they are
figuring on the advisability of tapping
the mine back about mile and one
half from the present opening and put
ting in hoist. Whether this will be
done or not. time only Will tell, as the
officers Of the company refuse TO talk.
If the present scheme. however, is car
fied out, the new line viii leave the old
at Swift and proceed over the top of
the Hill about mile and half back
frcm the present station, and running
frem there. 10 Arlington, where the
mines will be tapped, and proceed TO
Ricevlle, where the old road will he
joined. If this is done. ii will be a
great saving TO the company. as II will
allow one engine to pull the train up
without a helper The work is under
the direction of j. j. Patterson and viii

HE WAS WELL KNOWN.
Bob shadweII Gave the Police Trouble in
Belt,


Great Falls jan 14-Bob Shadweu
the murderer of OConnor is well
known in this city and county, having
been here and operated as a sure-thing
gambler for some time. The sheriff and
the police have particularly reason to
remember him, as three years ago he
gave them much trouble about some
money he had lost or had been robbed
of. At the time he was operating in
Belt, as usual conducting a gambling
game. He had gained a considerable
sum, over $500, and was accustomed to
carry ii about with him in "a roll. One
day he complained that he had been
robbed of the money and SO notified
the police. His room was at boarding
house, located on the bank of Belt
creek. The officers searched the place
thoroughly and questioned the proprie-
tor and air who We're in any way con-
nected with the house. All their search
ing failed to reveal any elew to the
possible thieves or even to show that
any robbery had been committed. At
last Ii occurred to one of the officers
that Shadwell was an opium fiend and
subject to fits of absent -mindedness
Accordingly while apparently working
hard on the case the officers really set
to watching Shadwell. One night they
We're rewarded by seeing him come
from his room and leaving the house,
go straight to the bank of the creek
He stood there for a while and then
went back to bed. The officers searched
the place, manure pile. and after d
time ran across the roll of money Sc
curely hidden in the manure.

A W-ABlDikG TOWN.
The Coal Metropolis Has No Use for
Attorneys.

Attorneys.
Belt Jan. 14.--As peace-loying and
laV-a;ailine community this little coal
metropolis Of Belt ranks far ahead of
many cities that make more preten-
sions. There is no better evidence of
this than the fact that attorneys-at-
law ind its extremely hard to gain a
livelihood from her church going, love
thy neighbor as thyself citizens. There
have been attorneys herc-plenty of
them-and of recognized ability. but
one by one they have laid aside the
sheepskin and taken To other pursuits,
until now but one remains. There was

residence here was of a neteoric ma

upon the words of honest praise that
reached him. and in an unlueky NOM

Pln,ed Rory More.

Thomas Culhain was lonely under
these stranger skies. Day after day at
his forge in his little smithy he beat on
the anvil the measures of the tunes he
had learned when he WAS broth of a
boy I'm Ireland. and one day he took IA
foot of gas pipe. bored a dozen holes
around its sides, fitted a mouthpiece to
IT. and blew upon il q blast so loud and
long that passersby stopped and
crowded up to the door of the shop 10
watch the old Irishman sitting dark
against the fprge's ruddy glare and
playing his iron flute till the fire failed
and the metal grew gray and cold ia
ashes.
The spirit Of melody beat in the old
mans pulse and his eyes grew dim as
he remembered the songs OF Erin. The
instrument that he had made WAS harsh
and shrll. but sure, IL could send out a
few Of the old tunes If his breath did
get short and leave a note 10 go its own
gait with wailing. So he took the flute
To the tenement house. where he lived
alone in slanting-roufcd room under
the caves. AT first he blew gently on
the pipe as he sat in the chilly twilight,
but remembrance came 10 warm his
old heart. and he sounded the notes OF
Rory O'More- right vigorously Then
came a sharp rap on the floor beneath
him which formed the ceiling of his
ntishbors just below. but he was lost
in the green maze OF tune and memory
and did not heed. His door burst in
ward under a fusillade of sounding
blows. lis Hebrew neighbors were upon
him.
