A Double Hurder Reported.
Sheriff Waite last night received

Sheriff Waite last night received
letter from one Lewis, who lives
the Musselshell river some distar
below the Circle-Bar ranch, detailing
what the writer presumed to be evil
dence of murder. Lewis said that
a trail of blood had been seen on the
prairie, which looked as If a body had
been dragged, and, upon following
this trail pool of blood and a knife
were found. Lewis further said that
two men had passed through that
section with bunch of sheep and
that when seen again, one OF the
men, supposed TO be the owner, was
missing and that murder was feared.
Mr.. Waite consulted with the con =
missiOners, who were in session, and
they coincided in Mr.. Waite's deter
mination to pay no attention to the
matter unless other definite informa-
tion was received, as the distance was
great and the expenses would be
heavy.
Saturday word was received from
Gilt Edge that a posse had gone i'm
search of the supposed murderer and
that they had found a cabin empty
which had long been occupied by an
old timer and that foul play i'm that
case was also feared. The people of
that section, the dispatch repre-
sented, were very indignant that NO
officer had responded to the first ad-
vices and were severely censuring the
sheriff. Commissioner Slayton, when
he learned of that last report, said he
had reason to believe that the man
occupying this lonely cabin, was that
day receiving sheep at Elisha Clark g,
as the man. Farquar McRac, had ex-
pressed his intention to going to
Clark's Is at that time.
The band of sheep referred to was
one driven through Lewistown some
three weeks ago from the Sage Greek
Sheep Co., and was going to a ranch
near Miles City. Jacob Mills of the
Sage Creek Co., and also Manager
Hamilton were communicated with
and the former said he would send a
man out from the Miles City ranch to
meet the party. Nothing further has
been heard. Sheriff Waite left for the
Musselshell, Sunday, to attend to
other business, but while in that sec
tion, will epdeavor to ascertain the
correct ness of reports concerning this
sensational murder"

A FREE SILVER PAPER.
Wakes Some Interesting Comparisons Betweer
Republican and Democratic Times.

The Salt Lake Tribune, as devoted
a friend of silver as any member of
the press, is equally as true to Nc
Kinley and his administration. 1t
says: 1.-The wool men of Utah esti-
mate that their profits this year have
been increased over 81, ,OOO, 900 because
of the republican administration.
The mining men freely admit but for
the tariff on lead, the mines carrying
lead would have to close down, which
would make a vast difference to the
miners producing lead either as a
chief or by-product. The sugar fac
tory of Utah is not only doing well
of itself, but because of it the farmers
for miles around are realizing twice
as much for their products as they
would without it. By the way: II
Hon. w. A. Clark were statesman
desiring to do something for Mon
tanians instead of a mere politician
desiring them to heap honors upon
his head, why does he not found a
Montana sugar factory to create a
local consumer for Montana beets,
the best and biggest that are known?
'These results" says The Tribune
''are all due tn the Republican party.
VIII some enthusiast point out any
advantage ever gained by the people
or any portion of the people, of Utah
through any act or policy of the
Democratic party? We have had a
Democrat president through eight Of
the past fourteen years. A portion
of that time there was likewise q
Democratic majority nf both houses
of congress. Can any Democrat point
to one act passed during those gloomy
eight years of the slightest benefit to
any m terial industry of Utah? - .
Their organ ~hirks silver and gives
away the fact that thOse in c,ntrOl
have never devoted an honest hours
time to a study of the question. 80 .
The men who We're their leaders for
years and who through all the time
were crazy for power. in order tn do
justice for silver % when given the
power simply killed silver. On what
page of their past can they claim
recognition from the voters of the
United States, and especially of
Utah?"
All these allegations are d ,ubly
true in Montana, and this final Ques-
ton may be emphasized to- Muntan-
ians. 6.

Fire Soon After Landing.
Helena Herald.l


Gov. Smith has received several
letters from the Montana regiment at
Manila. One is from DR.. Drumming of
the surgical staff and details the first
skirmish in which the boys were en-
gagged. The doctor writes:
"If the First Montana should re-
turn home tomorrow, they would yet
feel the better satisfied since it's First
battalion has been practically under
fire and a detail under Captain Jen-
sen sent out to capture a band of in
surgents killed one, wounded an
other, and by taking their boats pre-
vented three Others escaping from
the wreck of the Spanish cruiser Lu-
zon, where they were looting during
the night.
''As the First battalion marched
from the wharf to it's barracks and
came to a halt Immediately beyond
lippe a riot began in the street half a
block distant, between the insurgents
and soldiers of the Utah battery. OF
the latter two were killed and three
wounded, one man falling fifteen feet
i'm front of our battalion line and
whom / attended. The insurgents
were firing from windows, doorways
and alleyways at the soldiers, firing
about 15O shots in all. Then squad
of the Fourth cavalry returned the
firing by a volley directed at every
ingurgent in sight and the scrap was
over.
ut was during the night of the
same day that Capt. Jensen was or
dered with a detail to capture the
looting insurgents and on the morn
ing of the day following 1 went out
with the hospital corps to bring the
insurgents from the Luzon; found one
insurgent shot through the head and
right arm shattered. another wound
ed in the thigh and three unhurt. DO
not doubt the willingness Of the Mon
tanians to obey orders or to shoot
low or well.
"We are quartered in the barracks
formerly occupied by the Spanish SOL
diers. The South Dakotas in the old
cathedral which has been thoroughly
looted by Spaniards and insurgents.
The Fourth cavalry, Utah artillery
and Sixth artillery are also here. The
other troops are in Manila.
"The insurgents are not openly hos
tile to us, and their leaders declare
their intention of disbanding their
army II the Philippines pass into pos
session Of the United States, but OF
continuing the revolution in case the
islands should begiven back to Spain.
"The weather is hot. Malaria is
becoming very prevalent but is con.
trolled by quinine; fifteen cases OF
typhoid were transferred to the gen.
eral hospital in Manila. No drill is
performed during the heat of the day
"What they are going to do with
us we do not know. We have had no
news of any kind later than July 2lst.
The news per Hong Kong is meagre
and scant and we don't know
whether peace is declared"

born Aug.'6, 1904, thus passing away in the
ripeness of venerable years. Most of her
life was spent in Vermont, but she came to
California some eight years ago. For three
years past an invalid, she seemed to enjoy
happiness under affection given to but
few so late in life. She well retained her
mental faculties and was remarkably pre-
served as to eyesight and hearing. Mrs
Raymond was the eldest member of Cal
vary Baptist church in this city. She died
in the Christian faith and full of hope OF
heaven. Of exceeding cheerful DISPOSE
ton, she was patient and kindly, and
looked ever on the bright side of life. She
had the love and esteem of II large circle OF
friends and was lovingly and tenderly cared
for by her nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs
Edward Norton of this city, who hold hel
in loving and tender remembrance. She
was inferred at Suson City, Rev. MIR
Mitchell of this city officiating at impress,
i've ceremonies. An incident of her funeral
was that eight of the most elderly men OF
the county were the pall-bearcrs for the
venerable WOman'S body.

New Electric Railroads.

A Montpelier special to the Free
Press says:
The promoters of the Stowe cleo
trio road are contemplating putting
in an electric road from Bethel to
Rochester which would also accom-
MEDIATE the town of Granville to Il
certain extent, that place being only
eight miles from Rochester. The
town of Granville has been asked to
hold special town meeting next
Saturday to see if the town will
bond itself to the extent OF 5 per
cent. on its grand list for term of
years for the purpose of putting in
the road. Granville is Il numbering
district and in order to get the pro-
duct to the railroad is obliged to
cross the mountain to Braintree, the
nearest railroad station, seven miles
from Granville.
The board of trade arc consider
ing the plan of building an electric
railway. from Rochester through
Hancock, Granville, Warren, Waits
field, Moretown and Middlesex to
this city. A committee have been
been appointed to correspond with
the parties interested with view to
ascertaining the feasibility OF such
Z project.
