Rich and Rare Strike.

Robert Brainard, just down from
Rocky Bar, informs us of new find
of rich quartz ledge at old Span
ishtown, a few miles from Rocky
Bar, which is peculiar for that Sec
ton of country, because the ole is
base on top and requires roasting or
smelling for proper reduction. The
ledge is owned by +. G. Towne and
Martin Kirby, averages five feet in
width and has well-defined walls.
By roasting one pound of this ore
Mr.. Towne short time ago, after
pounding it in mortar, PANIED out
rs cents of gold, and after many
such tests none of them produced
less than 30 cents per pound. AS
ore is now being reduced in Cali
fornia at a profit that does not yield
over $500 per ton, we are inclined
believe that Messrs. Towne and
Kirby have a pretty good thing.
We have known Mr.. Brainard for
many years as reliable gentleman
and We credit every word relative
to the above.

IT MAY KNOCK IT DOWN
Commissioners Fear for the
Safety OF the Court House.
AN INJUNCTION OBTAINED
The Complaint Alleged That the Blasting
in the Shaft so Feet West Of the
Building Is Doing It Serl-
Gus Damage.
AN INJUNCTION OBTAINED

An injunction suit was commenced in
the district court yesterday by the
chief deputy county attorney, at the
request of the commissioners, against
John A. Leggat, Lee w. Foster and
Joseph H. Harper for the purpose of
trying to prevent Mr.. Leggat from
wrecking the court house by blasting in
the shaft he is sinking in the alley
west of the court house on the Thomas
lode. The shaft, which is within about
so feet of the court house, is now down
about 40 feet. While blasting a few
days ago the shock knocked the plas-
tering off the corridors of the court
house and badly cracked the walls on
the inside.
Commissioner Clark made the declar-
alton that Mr.. Leggat's blasting had al
ready damaged the front walls of the
building and that unless stopped 1t
would be a matter of but short time
until the whole building would col
lapse. In the complaint filed yesterday
in the name of the county it is alleged
that the county is the owner of the lots
upon which the court house stands,
together with all the improvements
thereon, and that the defendants are
engaged in sinking the shaft in ques-
ton and are using large quantities of
powder and dynamite in blasting; and
If they continue it will greatly injure
the county property and endanger the
lives of the occupants of the court
house, for which reasons the court is
asked to enjoin the defendants from
continuing the work.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of Judge Clancy last evening just
before the adjournment of court and he
issued temporary restraining order to
stop the defendants from doing any
more work until the hearing of the in
junction order.

Gossip Of the
Sporting World
Golf is an American game.

Golf is an American game.
So far from being a recent importation
from the Ian O cakes an brither
Scots" it is a very old game, played by
Julius Caesar.
The game of "boos, as it is called by
the Yaqui Indians of the Mexican Sierra
Madres, differs from all other Indian
games of ball in that the ball is driven
over prescribed course with natural OBJ
stacles. 1t can be played by sides of 10
men with captains-an enlargement of the
'foursome' game by two contestants or
by a single player against an aboriginal
"bogie"
The links are carefully limited. but have
no artificial obstacles. Within the course.
which may be a circuit of as much as 20
miles, there are plenty of natural obsta-
cles, thorn hedges. great rocks, streams,
mountain sleeps and sandy waists. If the
course Is shorter the energetic players
may go around more than once. There are
judges stationed at intervals along the
way and concourse of spectators at the
goal, betting on their favorites.
The manner of driving the ball is unlike
Scottish golf. All Yaqui Indians go bare
foot, clothed only in IA breech clout far
scantier than the Hghlander's kits. The
ball, which is whitfield out of wood, and
is exactly the size of the golf ball, is
nrmely grasped between the big toe and
the SECOND Toe anu kicked FORWARD as Tar
as possible. 1t is forbidden to touch the
ball with the hands or TO poke it with a
stick out of any crevice into which it may
have fallen.
So skillful are the players that they
keep the ball almost constantly in the
air, following it at a swift run all about
the course. and the side which gets
around in the shortest time is the winner
of the match.
The stakes vary. They may consist of
a silver watch or a pair of beef cattle. In
the latter case the principal judges and
the friends of the players of both sexes
make merry, with barbecued beef and Te-
Euena beer and dancing, the braves being
by no means exhausted by their run over
20 miles or more of rough country.
If Waterloo was won on the football
fields of England, the Yaquis and the
kindred tribes of Mayos and Tarah-Ma-
rahs may have got from the game Of golf
the stamina which has enabled them so
long to defy the white men. OF late
years. while refining their tribal organi-
cation and lands. they have ceased to
fight the white man except during occa-
sional outbreaks, and have begun to work
for wages, while the women, submitting
to Mexican law, wear skirts when they
visit town. In a few years the noble

MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
1t Is the General Opinion That Birks Got
OFF Very Easy.


Great Falls, Oct. An the Birks case
at Fort Benton the defendant left the
stand shortly after o'clock and the
defense rested. A number Of witnesses
in rebuttal were called by the state
and several to prove the previous trou-
BILE the defendant had while living in
the Bear Paw country. 1t appears that
he took a shot at a man named Lay
ton some years ago, hitting him in the
hand, and that on another occasion
he was about to, shoot at John Grant,
when Fred BLY, knocked the gun up
and prevented the shooting.
County Attorney Pray then opened
for the state with a short, but forcible,
address, and was followed by Attorney
Downing. who made an eloquent and
exhaustive presentation of the defend
ants side of the question. At the
opening session a large crowd was
present to hear the attorney general
of the state Of Montana, Colonel c. B.
Nolan, close for the prosecution. Judge
Dubose then charged the jury, detin-
ing the different degrees of the crime
involved, and their respective penal
ties, and the jury retired at $3.50. They
soon agreed, and at IL o'clock came
in with a verdict finding the accused
guilty of murder in the second degree
and leaving the sentence to be fixed
by the court. The judge announced
that sentence would be imposed on
Tuesday morning. The penalty under
the verdict imposed is Imprisonment
for a term ranging from 10 years to
life. The general sentiment is that
Birks was very fortunate in not being
convicted of murder in the first degree,
as the crime was particularly afro
cious, and his record was bad.

Judd, one of the committee who went
to San Francisco to welcome the SOL

reception. Senator Carter proposed the
idea of furnishing a luncheon for the
soldiers and the idea was carried out
by the Montana people. He also highly
complimented the San Francisco re-
ception committee. Mr.. Judd further
reported that he had conVersed with
every member of Company A and every
one would come direct to Great Falls.
On motion, the secretary was in
structed to convey to the San Francisco
reception committee the thanks of the
citizens of Great Falls. The mayor re-
ported that he had promptly contra
dicted false reports that the reception
might be abandoned, and had protested
against Misrepresentation that had been
made in a state paper. 1t was voted
that a special effort be made to pro-
cure the attendance of 200 of the cadets
of the Fort Shaw Indian school, boys
and girls, to march in the great parade.

TOOK A SHOT AT LUNDY.
The Bullet Passed Right Between the
Mans Arm and Side.

Great Falls. Oct. 4.-Yesterday even
ing Frank Willis, who had been fore
man at the Kelly ranch near Fort
Benton for long time, but was dis
charged last Saturday, came back to
the ranch, at the Teton elbow, 10
miles from town. He was drunk and
angry at being dismissed. and after
some words with Ed Kelly, he eX-
claimed: Here's the I'm
after" and at that drew Colt A5 and
took a shot at Charles Lundy, an en-
ploye of the ranch who he seemed
to believe had something to do with
his discharge. The bullet passed be-
tween Lundy's arm and side. Before
he could fire again he was grappled by
a bystander, while Lundy skipped out.
Willis then left for the Lapine ranch,
stating that he would get Lundy later.
The latter came to town and made a
complaint against Willis, who was
brought in this morning. Judge Sui
Ivan fixed, his bonds at $1,000, which
were furnished.
