JOHN B. BLEwETT ALL RIGHT.
he Is Representing Mining Claims
for Pat Landon and Is at Yooo

Butte Inter. Mountain: Mrs. Nellie
Driscoll and her husband called at the
office of the county attorney and entered
complaint against John b. Blcwett, who
they alleged, has elopcd with $3.50 of
her brothers hard earned cash. The
DrIscolls are the people who "A short
time ago had Il little difficulty in their
household and in the melee the husband
accidentally shot his wife while attempt-
ing to shoot his brother. For the deed
MIR. Driscoli was taken to the county
Jail, while his wife was sent to the hos
pital to be treated. Mrs. Driscoll has II
brother who owns the Ben Franklin and
Blue Dick mining claims, located near
1ogO, which is about 13 miles from
Neihart. The owner of the claims is
now Ill Alaska, but in order that the
property would not become delinquent
he made arrangements with the Dris-
coils to have them do the assessment
work. While Mrs. Driscoll was in the
hospital and Mr.. Driscoll locked up,
Blewett so they allege, called on Mrs.
Driscoll and told her that he had been
selected to do the work on the claims
and asked her to give $3.50, adding that
he had seen her husband and he had
given his consent to the transaction.
She gave him the money and lie left and
they ap%prehended the worst-that
Blewett has decamped. 1t is not known
exactly where Blewett is, but an effort

taken back there alive"
From time to time he warned
Proctor not to get too close, as he
would have to kill him if he did.
When he was finally driven to the
river and the island Proctor station
ed others of the party at either end
OF the island, while he himself adj
vanced upon the place where Short
was concealed. Short fired three or
four shots at Proctor, of which none
took effect. Proctor and the others
returned the fire with interest, but
were unable to locate him. Short be-
ing completely hidden in the thick,
heavy brush which covered the is
land. This occurred about Z o'clock
in the evening or a little later, and
then all was quiet until . o'clock in
the morning, when Short again
opened fire, which was returned
without effect. Then ensued anoth-
er period Of quiet. At 6 o'clock
Short came out for the last time.
lie is a mar ove six feet in height
and as he appeared in the open with
his hands stretched over his head. he
seemed a giant. He walked into
plain sight and cried out:
"Boys for Gods sake take a shot
at me and put me out of my misery.
You can never take me alive and
you had best end it now"
He asked for Proctor and the lat
ter who had the upper station on the
island came down. Proctor said to
him:
eve don't want to hurt you, Ed.
but we are going to take you if we
have to camp here until we starve
you out. Now if you will surrender
yourself you shall have a good
breakfast and you will be treated as
well as it is possible to treat Il pris-
oncr."
"No Charlie" said Short. ut is
no use arguing with me. I'm not
going to be taken, | know you
will treat me all right, but it means
a sentence not less than II years
and possibly l5.'
Then he inquired who the man at
the lower end of the island was, and
being told it was deputy Sires, he
begged him to kill him and end the
misery. When Sires refused he
said he was going back into the
brush and they would have to come
in there to take him. Thirty min
utes later there was a shot. Proctor,
thinking it was the mar at the lower
s@tatian who fired asked if he got hit.
Then there came M great wall of
anguish like that Of a wild beast
which, as Proctor says, might have
been heard for one mile. Bailey
SAID that he had seen Short step in
to an open space and put the gun to
his breast. The officers called to
Short but received no reply, and
they went into the brush and found
him with a hole through his breast.

DEMOCRATIC LOVE FEAST.
The Ring Gets i'm a Ringer ON the
Party Organization,

hAsAtAOus
The democratic primary held last Sat.
urday evening WIS a genuine love feast
with the love left out. When Chairman
Noyes called the little assembly to order
there were just 13 democrats present,
which number has certainly a charm for
such mystic and ominous bodies as this.
There were present, representing the
great unwashed, A. W. Noyes, d. J,
Condor, w. +. Odcn, II. NJ. Wilson,
w. F. Trip, VIM. Giffels, II. G. Waugh.
an, b. S. Fitzpatrick, VIM. Bonner, J.
A. Staley. A. G. Wilson, Chas. Delori.
micr and Richard Bennett.
The map of the organization rs draft.
ed some weeks ago, began with a cent
trial figure or focus which was marked
al. J. Skinner for treasurer" Around
this central figure was II more or less ir.
regular ring with 8 dots upon it, and
each II bore the name of q prominent
local democrat, which WIS connected
with the central figure by a semi-zigzae
radius. Surrounding this inner ring
was a second ring with eight other sta.
tons checked upon it, which were to be
named at the Saturday night meeting.
Anybody's name might fl, the outer cir
Gle, but the inner ring wns q sure thing
game, and its focal points were to he
named according to the slutc.
Evidently some Of the democrats
present did not understand this. But
to a disintrrestcd citizen with half an
eye the scheme was apparent.
During the nomination for delegates
the name of every democrat in town was
put up-and some who were not dem
ocrats. They nominated Chas. DcLori.
mier and b. S. Fitzpatrick, two of as
honorable and sincere men as could be
found in a days journey. But these
names were not On the map. and so
they had to take the AK.
Here is where the fun begun. Both
Of these gentlemen were flied with
righteous Indignation and freely spoke
their minds. We knew it would come.
Mr.. Dclorimier said he is II '48er; has
been 4 democrat all his life: came to
Neihart in 'S2; ard has lived to he
turned down by a pucillanimous design
ing clique such as this. lie got 3 votes.
He thanked them for such II handsome
vote. He had been told that the eau
Gus would be held on the square. And
now he was the stool pigeon used to
hatch anotller's eggs. He said Il good
deal which called a spade a spade, and
which would not appear well in print.
But nobody could blame him, consider
ing the big mi, against which he had
been steercd. He bnde the asssmblagc
good bye till election day, but said he
would meet them then.
b. ). Fitzpatrick got n deal which
was just as raw. They had not intend
ed to send him even ns alternate. and
everything was done to side track him,
but on the final windup, he got in by Il
scratch.
The worst feature Of the program
was the total absence Of representation
by the Dig Seven crowd. 1t is rumored
that q few staunch democrats are on the
hill, notably Mike Day and W. F.
Trip, either of whom can tell II cnpper
from a sucker, and knows the philoso-
ply of the cold deck. 1t looks plain
enough that the Big Seven got it strong.

Piracy No Longer in Favor

One of the results of the late war between
the United States and Spain will most like
ly be the abolition of that form of naval
piracy which finds its justification in prize
courts. In the military service of the civil
lied world the principle of looting conquer
ed territory has long since been abandoned.
Yet, through that strange contradiction
which has not reformed the navy in the
same ratio in which the army has been
brought under civilzng influences, not only
did the merchant vessels carrying contra
band goods fall a prey, but valuation on
the warships destroyed is bound to go to
officers and sailors of the ships engaged IN
