tory against an enemy Of force superior
to the Cubans was wholly due to his
skill in sending dynamite shells where
they would do the most good or harm,
according to the observers view point.
Just before the victory Funston was
shot and his horse killed. The beast
fell In such a n as to crush his
riders hips. Wounded as he was, aft
er the surrender Funston hobbled to
headquarters to protest against the ex-
ecutiol of fifty Cuban guerillas, who
we're captured fighting under the Span
ish flag. When his appeal for elem
ency and humanity was refused he
determined to leave the Cubans, and
accordingly applied for a furlough.
which was granted by Calixto Garcia.
He was given a letter to the civil
government, which was instructed to
provide him with transportation to the
United States. Armed with this he
struck for the coast, but was sur
| rounded by the S~paniards. He saved
his life with that wit which had pre-
viously stood him in good stead on
many occasions. Seeing that capture
was inevitable, he made a breakfast Of
the letter from Garcia and then ad-
vanced with his hands in the air, an
nouncing himself a %presentado.
Funston was used well by the Span
iards, who thought his presentation
would have a demoralizing effect upon
the insurgents. He was sent to Ha-
vana, from which city he took passage
for New York, arriving here January
10, 1898.
When war with Spain was declared
Funston was commissioned colonel OF
the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers.
Afterward he was offered a position on
Gen. Miles stan, but declined. pre-
ferring to stay with his regiment.
About two months before the declara-
ton OF war Col. Funston married a
young lady in San Francisco. When
his regiment was ordered to the Phil

STOCK IS IN FINE SHAPE
Cattle in the Big Hole Are Win
tering Excellently.
AN ENORMOUSCROP OF HAY
Feed Enough and to Spare to Carry the
Stock On to Spring Roads in
Better Shape Than
Ever Before.

D. d. Walker of this city returned
a day or two ago from the Big Hole
country, where he is largely Interested
in the stock industry.
Il have never seen the stock in the
Big Hole in better condition than it is
this winter" said Mr.. Walker yestsr-
day. ''All of the men who have stock
in that country have been feeding since
about December 1. There was an enor-
nous crop of hay last summer, and
while we began feeding early, we will
have enough and more to carry Us
through. The winter in the Big Hole
set in early, but the cold has lot been
severe. 1t has been steady cold, but
there have been no bad spells. There
is less snow in the Big Hole this win
ter than during any winter since I
have known the country. The snow is
only few inches deep and in the roads,
WheTe it has been packed down. there
is only about two inches. There is plen-
ty of snow for sleighing, though
In speaking of the roads between
Anaconda and the Big Hole country
Mr.. Walker said they are now in better
shape than ever before. The rough
road over the Mill Creek divide is In
good condition, and several bridges
have been put in at various places.
That strentch of road known as De-
nos lane, just beyond French sulch,
which has always been a horrible mud
hole, is now in good shape for travel
The road itself has been raised, and
the creek, just this side of the lane,
where wagon wheel used to go down
over the hubs, has been bridged L he
crossing of Seymour creek has also
been provided with a bridge, and the
crossing moved 800 yards further up
the creek. The descent to the bridge is
now gradual and easy. This crossing
was formerly a bad one. The descen.
to the ford was very steep and after
getting down to the stream, there were
SO yards of water to wade through.
Other improvements of like nature
Walker says that this fall more people
from the Big Hole country came to
Anaconda for their provisions than ever
before.
The improvement in the road to the
Big Hole is the only thing the embryo
board of trade of Anaconda did before
it sank ilsto oblivion. The single in
stance, however, affords a good Illus
tration of what benefits might accrue
to the merchants of the city if a board
of trade were organized and put in
working order.
A crying need of the people living in
the Big Hole country, and especially
the people living in that section be-
tween Anaconda and Ralston, is mail
service from Anaconda This project
was also undertaken by the board of
trade, but it never materialized.

mined by finding out the date of her
arrival at Dubuque. Still another de-
tail is that Deputy Sheriff DAILY. in ex-
amining the floors of the house yester-
day, found a large dry spot on the
floor which extended from one room
to another under a door. The officers
cannot quite understand how, IL the
water overf1owed the whole house. this
spot should be left dry. There is no
indication that the water from the
kitchen, where the bursted water pipe
is, even passed through this door over
the spot which is now dry. Yet there
is water beyond the dry spot.
However, these unexplained less inn
portant circumstances are of little ac-
count now that the woman in the case
has been found.
During the interval which elapsed be-
tween the time that Sheriff Conley dis
patched his kilograms to Dubuque and
the hour at which tho replies were re-
ceived, there was considerable specula-
ton as to whether the woman would be
located. AS the hours went on and the
wires brought no reply, a doubt as to
McLinden's truthfulness began to gain
ground, but there was General relief
when the first message came.
The account of the affair stirred up
considerable excitement, both in this
city and at Carroll. AT the slum lake
a dozen or more men were poking
about with sticks trying to discover
the dead body which most of them
finally believed was buried beneath the
waters of the lake or was hidden in the
immense piles of Stag.
Thus has been cleared away chain
Of circumstances which, on Tuesday
night, pointed to brutal and horrible
crime. One of the officers said last
night: Il don't believe I have ever en-
countered a case where circumstances
warranted the belief that murder had
been done more than they did in this
case.' tn. -
The charges of assault in the first
degree are still pending against Nc
Linden and Swift but the complaints
will no doubt be dismissed the first
thing this morning. The men would
probably have been released last night
had 1t not been for the lateness of the
hour at which the kilograms were re-
cefved.
The incident, however unimportant it
has turned out to be, has at least
served one purpose. That is the fact
that it has shown that the officers are
alert and capable men, who know how
to accomplish results. In less than five
hours after the first discovery had been
made, two men, the only ones who
could possibly have any connection
with the affair. were In custody, not
withstanding that one of them was in
Butte, The promptness with which the
officers acted is commendable and
promises well for efficient service in the
future.

THE METROPOLITAN SYSTEM.
Chief of Police White Returns From
Helena.

SiieA VI "nlLe neGurnS from
Helena.
Chief of Police White returned
yesterday from Helena where he has
been for the past four or five days TAX
ing in the fun at the legislature ard
incidentally doing little missionary
work for the metropolitan police sys-
tenn bill.
Mr.. Whites idea of system is slight
ly different from the provisions of the
bill that originated at Butte. That bill
provides for police commission to be
appointed by the governor. Mr.. White
thinks the control of the police depart
ment should not be taken out of the
hands of the city council,
but that the officers should
be appointed by that body
for a period of probation of six months
If their work is satisfactory during that
time the council shall affirm the reap
pointment and thereafter no officer
shall be removed except for cause. Po-
litical utilization is not to be sufficient
cause for removal The Butte bill APP
plies only to cities of population
greater than $4,000 inha bitants, while
Mr.. Whites proposition takes in all
Incorporated cities, where there is a
police force.

made to burn Higgins after the feathers
had oeen applied. matches being applied
three or four times but some OF the cooler
headed ones put out the blaze each time.
After Rule Clement had been dragged
from his house with Higgins he was
roughly used, being struck In the face
and head several times and dragged over
the road. AS they reached the road,
Ruel Henderson, ons Of the men In the
crowd, seized Clement and dragged him
one side, resouing him from the mob.
Higgins was dragged of, however, and
was ridden on rail for about two miles
to grove near the Glenburn town line.
All his clothing was stripped of on the
way except his shoes and stockings aud
his collar which had resisted the scuffie.
A patch of skin foot square had been
tern off Higgins's back by dragging him
around. Clement followed the crowd
and after the mob had left Higgins he
went to his aidStakiDg him home in a
terrible condition and removing the
feathers aud tar. Higgins is now abed
and will not be able to be about for some
time. Clements's wounds are not serious.
The widest and most absurd stories
are floating in the town about the soourg-
ing of children aud killing of animals by
the Holy Ghost people, also the giving
away Of property and awful things done.
All these yarns are entirely without
foundation. The Clement farm, the head
quarters OF the sect, is in fine state of
cultivation one of the best in town, and
Higgins and Clement have worked hard
every day as other farmers do. The sect
made no disturbances and there was no
persecution of children They did kill
the swine, believing them unolean, ac-
cording to Moses. The best element in
Ilevant Is arraysd against mob violence
and the whole town is greatly stirred up
over the case. Ihetbest people say 1t was
a most shocking outrage and serious
invasion of the rights of citizens who
have right to worship as they see fit.
The members of the sec5 are hard work
ing people and molest nobody. The au-
thorities will proceed vigorously against
