The bishop continued along this vein
some time, while his hearers, most of
whom had braved the perils of frontier
life with him and knew him we'll, laughed
at his humor and wept at his pathos, and
were happy for ar hour in living over the
good old days when they and Montana
were young. He paid a delicate but
glowing tribute to Colonel Sanders and
the Vigilantes, and concluded his happy
talk with an eloquent tribute to the pio-
neer men and women of the state. from
whom. he said, he had received nothing
but kindness, and whose memory he
would affectionately cherish as long as
he lived. His peroration was given with
great feeling and was a grand and. beau
tlful effort, and many of his hearea4 were
very much affected by it.

A RAILWAY RUMOR.

A Ymir (B. c. dispatch to the Spokes-
man-Review says: A remaiKab1yis Strong
railway rumor is about now concerning
the projected road between Trail and
SagWood. 1t is reported that D.. j. Fitz-
gerald is coming out on behalf of r.
August HeinZe to operations
on this road. 1t Will be seen that the con-
structlon of the eight miles of read be-
tween these two points will give direct
communication between the Trail fsmelter
and the mines of Ymir. Saline II Ere.
Mr.. Heinze owns important water rights
at SagWood and it is deemed not unlike
ly that he is about to make a strong
move in his fight with the c. p. r., by the
erection of a smelter at that place.. Sag
wood IS certainly one of the most favor
able sites for a smelter and for a long
time held the field against Northport as
the favorite site for the LIE Roi smelter.
With the projected new line a smelter at
Sagwood would be in the field for Ross
land ores as well as those of Ymir, Salmo
and the North fork of the Salmon dis
trlct.

1ncendiary Attempt to Destroy
the Weyerh0rSt Block.
DISCOVERED IT IN TIME
And FruStrated--Third Time the Build
ing Has Been Fired Recently
Police Will Investigate.

The fire department was called out this
morning to extinguish an incipient blaze
in the Weyerhorst block, corner Of Ga
lena and Idaho streets. The flames were
put out by ham chemical apparatus, and
the damage is inconsequental.
This is the th.rd time the department
has been called to this block within a
very short time, and the circumstances,
in the opinion of Chief Sanger and his
men, clearly indicate that their hurried
visit to the place this morning frustrated
a we'll planned attempt at inceniiarism,
and had the flames gained a little more
Roadway, owing to the location of the fire,
the building would undoubtedly have
been destroyed, as the work Of the de-
partment could have awaited but little.
The building is owned by DR.. Weyer-
horst, who is out of the city, and is occu-
pied by Charles Hosg and a Mrs. Ander-
son. The portion leased by Mrs. Ander-
son is conducted as a lodging house, and
it was in one of the rear rooms of this
| portion of the block that the attempt, If
attempt it was, was made.
The room was unOccuDied last night
and one of the dodgers, who had occasion
to arise about 4 O'clock this morning dis
covered the hallway to be a full of smoke.
He hurriedly sent in an alarm. The smoke
was issuing out of a ransom and the fire
was easily located. Only Il few minutes
work was required to put out the flames,
and as the building has been somewhat
under the Ian of suspicion for some time
, the chief mad a thorough examination of
the room. He found that the plastcrlng
of the wall had been knocked away, and
| the Space between the plaStered walls had
been stuffed with old spape satur-
ated with coal oil. He brought back with
him an armful of this oil soaked paper,
and the matter has been turned over tc
the detective bureau of the city and will
be thoroughly investigated.

Boulder-In the contempt proceedings
| which came to court in this county from
Beaverhead county Judge Parker render
ed a decision yesterday in the delivery of
which he strongly denounced the defend
ant, Thomas Flynn, for disregarding a
court decree in distributing water rights
along Blacktail Deer creek, near Dillon.
For several years there was litigation over
the waters of this creek, but they Were
finally settled by court decree, but since
that time Thomas Flynn has been arrest
ed and brought into court eight times for
interfering with the water belonging to
others. Twice before he has been fined
$500 for contempt of court in disregarding
| the decree, the last time only a few weeks
ago. On each occasion he has remained
in Jail a short time and then paid the fine,
but on going back to the ranch he would
again divert the waters belonging to 9TH
ers to his own use. Judge Parker referred
to these conditions and again fined him
$500 and costs and ordered him committed
to Jail until it was paid. He was taken
into custody by the sheriff and will be
held here until Sheriff Pyle of Beaverhead
county can come and take him to Dillon.

Confusion worse COMPOUNDED reigned.
Our men could do nothing but shoot,
hack. pummel, each man fighting on
his own hook. At last troop of con-
federates were separated from the rest,
driven to the rear, and captured. The
enemy without began to tear down the
fence on one side, but the general sent
Rourke to beat them off. The force
that had effected an entrance was de-
pleted. The general by a skillful move
brought Pings and Snafile's commands
together behind Wilton's and, order
ing Wilton to divide in the center, sent
the united forces charging between
the wings.
This finished the fight. A few con-
federates got out, the rest were tram
pied, shot or taken prisoner. Then the
panic was communicated to those with
out. The general rode out, followed
by the whole command, and com
menced a pursuit that carried some of
our men miles away.
