4 Friendly scume which Ended in a
Fight.

Fight.
A fight which started in a friendly
scuffle in front of the Miners Delight
saloon in Vaudeville at about $3.50
O'Clock last night may result in the
death of Thomas Neynan. Neynan and
James Sullivan were sitting in front of
the saloon and five minutes before the
fight occurred, when the bartender
stepped outside. they seemed to be con-
versing In a friendly way. When he
stepped inside the men began scufiiing,
but little attention was paid 10 them,
as they seemed TO be simply wrestling.
Suddenly Neynan fell upon the walk
and Sullivan started to run. A crowd
soon gathered and wnen Neynan was
picked up IL was found that he had
been stabbed twice in the left side. He
was taken TO the walkerville drug COM
pany's store, where his wounds were
dressed temporarily, and then taken to
his home. DIR. Alexander of the Sisters
hospital was called. The wound Is con-
sidered serious and the result is profile
mat,cal.
Neynan is a miner. but has not been
working recently. He lives with his
mother and brother in Walkerville ana
is well like by James Sulli-
Ivan is also a miner. but has not worked
for some time. He lived at the Palace
hotel in Walkerville. Recently he has
been drinking pretty hard and has had
considerable trouble. He was wearing
a pair of black Eyes as the result OF a
fight he had about a week ago.
Marshal Curran was notified OF the
stabbing and Immediately started out
with a posse to capture Sullivan, but up
to a late hour a not succeeded. There
is considerable feeling against sullivan
among Neynan's friends and a large
number are on the lookout for him
Neynan could not make any statement
last night, and IL is not known what led
up to the fight. No i'll feeling is known
to have existed W the men.
Sullivan was arrested about II o'clock
by Sergeant Leyden, in Pleasant alley,
and taken to the county jail. where he
was Identified by Marshal Curran.
When searched no knife WAS found up
on him, but he admitted having thrown
il over the fence north of the saloon
after the fight. He declined Ia make
any statement as to how the trouble
occurred. further than that Neynan was
entirely To blame. The sheriff was Just
about to send a number Of kilograms for
his apprehension, when caught.

INDIANS GROWING GOOD.
Army Posts in Arizona and New Mexico
May He Abandoned.

From the Denver Times.
1t Is rumored In department head
quarters that there will be a rafting of
dry bones at some of the older Western
posts in the neal future. As a result Of
h shake-up. predictions are that a
number of them will b. stricken from
the list of necessary stations, and either
sold at auction or turned over TO the
Indian service for agencies.
Whipple Barracks, Arizona, was
some time ago, and but a
small handful Of men are kept there
under Lieutenant Tupes. As negotia-
lions for the sale of this post are about
completed. the detachment will probably
be withdrawn in a short time. after
which it Will be turned over to a custo-
dian, who will look after Uncle Sans
interests until the sale is contaminated.
1T may be used a. a training ground
for several Arizona troops which are
being fitted for service at the front, but
nothing definite on this score is yet
known.
Five years & 1t was thought the
height Of folly TO think of abandoning
any of the Arizona military posts, which
are in the region infested with Apaches,
but to-day 1t seems to be the settled
policy of the government to make these
men self-supporting, and therefore safe
citizens. AS rapidly as the Dawes bill
requirements are complied with the In
dams are admitted to the rights of suf-
frage. These requirements are "the
severance of all tribal relationships and
h adoption of the modes and habits
of civilization" This will soon cover
the whole Apache tribe, once so o
thirsty, and ii Is not improbable that
the next five months will see the aban-
Comment of Forts Apache, Grant and
Huachuca. in Arizona. and Wingate
and Union, in New Mexico. The only
reason why the government keeps
troops in those God-forsaken regions
now is because of fancled fear of the
Indians.
1t is also the policy of the government
to turn over all abandoned military
posts in the Indian country to the red
men, to be used as agencies: thus, in
Utah can be seen the Ouray agency,
once the site Of old Fort Roubidoux: in
Montana can be seen the Fort Peck
agency. once the site of a military can
Torment of that name, and in Arizona
the Fort Defiance agency fiourishes
where once stood that sentinel of the
advance of civilization westward, Fort
Defiance.
In speaking of the Apaches recently,
General Sumner said: ut is generally
misunderstood, this question of the
Apache Indians. They are generally
looked upon as being bIoo Thirsty. fierce
warriors. On the contrary, ! never dealt
18th easier Indians to hf ndle. They
are making as rapid strides toward civ
iliZation as any band in the United
States and no more need watching than
many of the tribes of the ndian terri
tory. The Utes are vastly more turbu-
lent and troublesome"

WAYS AND MEANS.
Question of Funding the City's Outstand-
ing Indebtedness Considered.

ing Indebtedness Considered.
The ways and means committee of
the council met last evening to consider
two important subjects-that of fund
ing the outstanding Indebtedness Of the
city and of raising funds for the inn
provements contemplated in connec-
tion with the fire department and the
city hall. The committee was represent
ed by Aldermen Melcher and Bausman
and Mayor Harrington was present and
took a hand in the discussion. The
opinion was unanimous that funding
the city's Indebtedness would be a good
thing for the taxpayers, and with very
little discussion of the subject IL was
decided to recommend to the ouncil
that all outstanding Indebtedness be
funded mt bonds issued. As the out
standing Indebtedness is approximately
$500, 900 and the alderman in avo of
issuing n are confident the present
rate of interest, 8 per cent, can be re-
duced at least 1 per cent. or perhaps
considerably more, the proposition to
fund will be a big saving to the tax
payers If II o through.
The matter of raising funds for en-
larging the Quartz street fire station
building. a new fire house at the corner
of Arizona and Mercury streets and re-
modelling the city hall was discussed,
and as there is practically no money in
the public Improvement fund available,
il was decided 20 recommend that an
appropriation be made out of the gen.
eral fund to cover the amount Of $4,000
considered necessary for the improve
ments contemplated. OF this amount,
Sc. 900 is for the site for the addition to
the Quartz street fire station, $4,000 for
the site for the new fire house at Arr
zona and Mercury, $40, 900 for the new
building and $4,000 for the improve
ments to the city hall. which will con-
sist of remodeling the main floor for the
accommodation of police headquarters
and the police court and the second
floor to give the various departments
more room.
In connection with the proposition to
fund the city Indebtedness by issuing
bonds, il may be stated that a gentle
man giving his name as Taylor. but
who failed to leave his card, visited the
clerks office yesterday and stated he
represented an Eastern firm which was
anxious to secure state, county or mu-
nicipal securities in Montana. This gen
tleman informed Mayor Harrington his
firm would be glad to TAKE an issue
of Butte city bonds at ) per cent. 1t is
believed. however, that bonds can be
loated at a lower rate of interest.

BUTTE News.
BEFORE JUDGE LINDSAY
Hearing of the Case of Colbert
Against John Schneider.
1T WAS NOT CONCLUDED
Defendant Had Disobeyed the Order Of
the Court and Will Probably Be
Found Guilty OF Contempt
Cause of the Trouble.

The order TO show cause in the case
John Schneider. an action to enjoin the
latter from building and occupying a
residence on the Emery place. came up
for hearing before Judge Lindsay yes
terday morning. The hearing was not
concluded. but went far enough to show
rather strongly hat the defendant had
disobeyed the order of the court and
was probably guilty of contempt. As
Schneider was not in court and his at
sorney did not know where he was. the
further hearing was continued until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The trouble grew out OF a mining
ground contest. Colbert and his CO.
plaintiffs are the owners of the old EN-
cry placer, which takes in a large por-
ton of the city adjoining the famous
Hesperus lode on the south. The same
ground was located by them several
wears ago as the Protection quartz
lode claim, and oil the first of the year
Schneider jumped the ground and To-
Gated the Augusta Fraction lode claim.
He did some development work on 1t
and recently he started TO erect a
house on the ground and Colbert secur-
ed a restraining order to prevent him
from completing ii or occupying II. The
case came up yesterday for hearing on
the order to show cause why a tempo
rary Injunction should not be granted.
Attorney Hinkle, who appeared for
Schneider, filed a motion for a modifi-
cation of the restraining order so that
the defendant could occupy the house
with his family pending the trial or the
case. 1t was represented to the cour
that the house had been completed and
Schneider's wife had already moved
into il when the restraining order was
served, but the same order prevented
the defendant from occupying 1t or HV-
ing with his wife and he was therefore
nut to great Inconvenience and expense
by being compelled to live at a hotel.
Attorney Lippincott, who appeared for
the plaintiffs. Informed the court that
the facts were incorrectly stated i'm Mr..
Hinkle's motion. The truth was, he
said, that the house was completed and
the family moved into it, after the re-
straining order had been served on the
defendant.
Kaempfer. the carpenter who had con-
tracted to build the house, was put on
the stand and testified that when the
restraining order was served on him he
quit work. The roof had been pm the
house, but only a part of the tioor had
been put down and there were no doors
or windows. He returned the neNt day
and found two "scab" carpenters at
work. He told them to quit, but they
wouldn't and Kept on until the house
was completed and then Mrs. Schnei-
