up hope. He inquired who had shot
the boy and when tho wagon started
for tho Hospital asked to bo allowed
to so along, which was permitted.
Ito seemed very quiet. Some one
said that the boy told his father who
had shot him and that ho could
avengo his life. This could not be
verified.
Mr.. w. b. Meetzc, tho father of
the man who did tho shooting, was
soen at tho police station, where he
had gone to report that his son was
in the Jail, aud he said that there
would bc no use to visit tho iuil in
tho hope Of getting any statement,
rs be had positively advised his son
not to say anything about the affair
to any one and the father did not
scem inclined to say anything for
the present. llo said in Il general
way that it seemed to be Il case now
Of whether you were going to be
killed by State constable or lo the
killing yourself. Tho substance of
tho statement Of Cartlodge was ro,
poated to him aud he said that
that was altogether false
Policeman Dowio said that he
found half pint of liqnor and a
pair Of knucks on Curtledgc, He did
not find any pistol and mono was
found on Cartledgo as far as can be
heard. He did not draw MS pistol
if he had any and it does not appear
that hc carried it with him. From
what can be gathered the defence
will be that Cartledgo made an at.
tempt to draw something from his
hip pocket and that Meotzo did not
shoot until this demonstration was
made This is not from any official
source. William Parker, a nero
who works at Tom Lanes place, says
that lie heard Meetze tell Cartledgc
something about his being spy, and
he heard the lie passed, and then he
hoard the pistol shots. There seems
to be difference Of opinion rs to
how many shots were fired. There
were certeiuly three shots fred, us
there are that many wounds OH
Cartlsdgo. Some say there were four
and others that there were five shots
fired. 1t is stated that Cartledge re-
ceived his commission as State con.
stable yesterday. Ho seemed to be
talkative abont his appointment and
spoke Of it to several parties. Meetze
is Il young man, not yet q years OF
age: Ho has good heart and is full
Of kindness, but has Il quickness
about lighting and on one or two
previous occasions has had ditlicul
ties when he thought advantage wa:
being taken Of him. Cartlodge is
also a young man, II son of Dispenscl
Cartlcdge, and seems to have been I
quiet young man. Stone was also ,
membcr of Company X, Of the L.
South Carolina regiment. Stono wa

to an inquiry at tho Columbia Hos

MONDAY ON THE MOUNTAIN TOPS.
Monday, February 20, 4.oO p. M.
This afternoon the regiment is upon
a high mountain. The scenery is
undoubtedly the finest that we have
yet seen. In the distance, towards
the south, the city Of Guines is in
sight. We will roach this city some
time tomorrow. This is a pictur.
esque country. The valley to the
east of our camp is broad and green,
dotted here and there with palms
and banana groves, making a beauti-
full sceno. A chain Of hills are to-
ward tho north, and the southern
view is of a plateau sloping towards
the sea sixteen miles away, with the
city of Guines in full view. Every
ono is enraptured and expressions Of
admiration are to be hear6 on every
hand.
This days march covered about
fifteen miles, but was as nothing in
comparison with the terrible trip Of
yesterday. Today we had good
road all the way and the greater
part of tho distance was shaded by
trees of abundant foliage. For the
first few miles the limbs Of the trees
on each side Of the road reached out
over the road, forming Il complete
arch for several miles. Our line Of
march was over hills and through
valleys as yesterday, but we expe-
rienced none Of the hardship ps Of mud
and water, barbcd wire and bitches,
rocks and holes, and bridge building.
At the end Of every hour a rest of
ten minutes was taken and three
hours were spent at the place the
regiment stopped for dinner.
The country through which we
passed today was very mountainous,
but at times broad fields spread out
before us. Tobacco farms Of many
| hundred acres each wero seen and
the land seemed to be very produc,
tive. Farm work was in progress
some Of the laborers planting crop
while others nearby were gathering
Corn tasseling and bearing fruit was
seen at some places, while at Others
the young plants were just coming
through the surface Of the earth.
But the grandest scenery was Tho
mountains. Near the town of Sal
Jose are worry lofty peaks, and be
tween two of the highest of these tn
road passed. Engineers say tina
these two peaks were not less thar
six hundred feet high and perpen
dicular fall Of fully ono hundred an'
fifty feet was seen by the side o
ono Of them.

Columbia, Feb 2S. --- Tho Stuart
tragedy continues to bc the topic Of
conversation. Tho const ablcs under
Indictment are taking things easy at
the State Pcnltcntiary. Mr.. John
Stuart, who was hit in the month by
one Of tho bullets from CrawrOrd's
pistol, is not getting along rs we'll Us
might be hoped for. There is some
fear of blood poisoning or paralysis.
Last night he rested fairly we'll and
was able to drink about half glass
of milk. His physicians have ad
vised against his talking and he cau-
not very well talk even if he wished
to. The tissues are healing in parts
Of the wound and for him to talk
means to interrupt the healing pro-
cess. Mr.. Stuart has not yet been
able to say anything at all about
tho killing, but it is isexpccted that
within Il few days he will be able
to give his version Of the tragedy.
Mr. Cole l.. Blcasc, who is coun
sci for tho constablcs, having, been
employed by tho defence, said today
that ho did not yet positively know
whether bail would bo asked. Other
counsel may be associated in the case
and there was no special hurry about
the matter, as tho constubles were

Attorney General Bellinger paid n
brief visit to Governor Ellcrbo and
among other things talked about tho
recent killing ailruy Governor Ellcr
be wished tho matter fully investi-
gated and trial of all Of tho facts

Mr. Bollingor said that thoro was
nothing for his Office to dol in con-
nection with the affair, unless it be
shown beyond doubt that the con
stables had done the killing in the
discharge Of their official duty, and in
that event his Office may take hand III

four miles from Romestake. DR.. Cow
perthwaite was called to see Nc
Coombs and he went out supposing he
had met with an accident When he
got there he found the man had a case
of malignant black smallpox. He re-
ported to the Jefferson county author
tiles and was appointed by the COM
missioners to look after the sufferer.
There was no hope for McCoombs
when DR. Cowperthwaite saw him. and
he died day before yesterday. At the
request of the Jefferson county author
tiles DIR. Cowperthwaite attended to
the fumigation Of the cabin in which
McCoombs died, and saw that the body
was properly buried
A second case was discovered by Dr.
Hanson last evening, or rather was
discovered to him by the afflicted per-
son. A Miss Carney, who said she
lived near the Remember the Maine
road house on the boulevard, called at
Dr. Hanson's office and asked to be
told what was the matter with her
Dr. Hanson informed her she had a
we'll defined case Of varioloid, and
turned to the telephone to notify the
authorities. AS he did SO the woman
shot out of the Office and could not be
found afterwards, 1t was also said
last evening that there were three
more new cases in South Main street,
but no such cases were reported to
the health department.

EVIDENTLY A STRAW MAN
Burdette O'Connor Has Appeared
in Three Gases.
CLERK IN A LAW OFFICE
or the Montana Ore Purchasing Conn.,
pany's New York Attorneys-Wetz-
stein Agrees to Transfer to
e. Aug Heinzs.

Since the rather remarkable suit Of
conda company was instituted there
have been a great many inquiries as to
who OConnor Is. The case referred
to is the third case in which he has
appeared as plaintiff, and evidently, as
the straw man for other parties inter-
ested in the litigation. The first case
in which he appeared was the second
receivership suit against the Boston &
Montana company, which was institut-
ed in the district court after GER
tiorari had been issued in the receiv-
ership case in which Forester and
Maginnis were plaintiffs. OConnor's
case is still pending in the district
court and no action has been taken in
it except to file the complaint In Or
der to be in position to bring that
suit he purchased so shares Of stock
from John Maginnis, one Of the plant
ifs in the other suit.
The second case in which he ap-
peared as plaintiff was an injunction
suit against the Butte & Boston COM
pany on the Snohomish and Tramway
mines, he having secured an assign
ment from Clara Larkin of a part of
her alleged interest in those proper
ties O'COnnor is a clerk in the ONCE
Of the Montana Ore Purcha sing COM
pany's New York attorneys. James
Forester, one Of the plaintiffs in the
receivership case, is one Of the firm
of attorneys 1t is said that he is sim
ply a dummy and of no financial re-
sponsibility.
1t Was stated yesterday that the
plaintiff In the case, or at least his at
torneys, knew they were not entitled
to the injunction asked for, for about
three or four months ago application
for a patent was made on the full 20
acres Of the location and the applica-
ton was refused by the land office, as
IT showed on its face that nearly all OF
the ground was patented. A new appli-
cation was subsequently made for the
the location which had not been pat
ented to other parties.
Another interesting fact in connec-
ton with the litigation going OF be-
tween various mining interests relates
to the case OF Wetzstein against the
Boston 6 Montana for a fourth inter-
est in the Comanche mine. There is on
file with the county clerk and recorder
an agreement for a deed from Wetz'
stein to F. Aug. Heinze, whereby the
former agrees to deed to the latter. In
case he secures judgment, all his rights
under il, including his right to sue for
an accounting and for trespass, &C.
cording 10 the terms of certain
agreement and deed in escrow. The
agreement indicates that Wetzstein is
backed by Mr.. HeinZe.
