killing of the guards by American cow
boys the Mexican officers in command
pressed into service all the available
Mexicans in Naco as guards. Among
these was Jerrado Acedo, born of Mexl-
can parents, but in Tuscon, Ariz., there
by making him an American. He pro-
tested, but was made to do guard duty
at the Jail in which Franco was con-
fined. Acedo, being brother-in-law of
Franco, early yesterday morning lib
Grated the prisoner and the two escaped
to this place. The Mexican officer who
was on guard with Acedo and was
asleep when the escape was made was
shot to death as he tried to escape while
being taken to court for trial on a
charge of negligence. Ramsey has been
released by the authorities. Telephone
messages from Naco say that things
look serious there and that Troop f,
9th cavalry (colored), arrived there and
is patroling the line of this side, while
Mexican guards are on the other.

Missoula, Sept. 15.-Gardener Spohn
of the State university grounds is en-
deavoring to introduce a new idea in
the training of the athletic team this
fall. He proposes to put all candidates
for positions on the football team to
work on the lawn mowers. The lawn
is so large and the grass Is getting so
thick that it is a lot of work to cut
it, and Mr.. Spohn is of the opinion
that 1T will strengthen the boys and
do some good at the same time If his
suggestion is carried out. No formal
action has been taken in the matter,
but Mr.. Spohn is pushing his cam
paign vigorously. He says that he has
been able to get but a single student
to take hold of a mower, but he hopes
to have the exercise popular before
long.

SHeRRILL INSANE.
He Was Ordered Committed to the
Asylum at Warm Springs

A'e N"s oAuSTSu Une
Asylum at Warm Springs.
Hamilton, Sept. 15.-The Millard Sher-
ria case came to a rather peculiar end
ing yesterday. AS stated in yesterdays
letter, the contention had been raised
by the defense that the defendant was
unbalanced in mind and not mentally
responsible for the killing OF the steer
for which he was being tried and that
the Judge had decided that the mans
sanity must be determined by jury
of 12 men before the other case could
go any further. Yesterday morning a
jury was secured, they heard the evil
dence in regard to the mans mental
condition and retired to deliberate
They brought in verdict to the effect
that Sheriff. was insane and that ended
the criminal trial there and then. The
judge ordered that he be committed to
the state asylum at Warm Springs and
Sheriff Chaffin will take him over there
tomorrow morning. 1t is now thought
that the case against Albert Sheriff. for
completely in the killing will perhaps be
dismissed, as the evidence against him
is largely what Millard Sheriff., the de-
cided insane man, had told.
Yesterday afternoon the case of the
state VS.. Walter Morgan, the man
charged with stealing some $102 worth
OF gold dust from the sluices of the
Woods Placer Mining company on
Hughes creek, came up, a jury was
secured and at adjournment last night
several witnesses for the state had tes-
titled. This case will go to the jury by
noon to-day, and then will come the
trial of Nels Peterson for the murder
of Andrew Nelson, which may or may
not be completed this week. but prob
ably will, even if night session is nee
essary.
All the members of the regular jury
panel were excused by the court yester-
day afternoon until this morning at II
O'clock. excepting, of course. those en-
gagged on fhe Morgan case

Some Slight Relief,

Missoula, Sept. 15.-The long suffer-
ing public of that portion of the coun-
try is looking for some slight relief
in the matter of road when the con-
tract for the Improvement of that part
between the Bandmann grade and
Bonner is awarded. The work that
has been done thus far this year by the
contractors under County Surveyo~
Hughes has been model road work. and
it is hoped that this very bad piece of
road will be decidedly improved Mr.
Hughes says that he has found in look
ing up this matter that there is no
county road from the top of the Nc
Cormick hill to Bonner There was
formerly a county road there, but it
was abandoned and no new one was
ever located. This makes it impossible
to build new road further than the
top of the hill unless a new road is
laid out at once. The road that runs
by the Bowman place and thence
around the lumber yard to Bonner is
on private ground and cannot be
worked upon by the county until it
has been adopted as a county road
A petition is necessary for this and
it is likely that one will soon be pre-
sented to the commissioners to rem
edy the present condition of affairs

Must BE Sent in Early.

Missoula, Sept. 15.-The display COM
mittee of the irrigation congress de-
sires that all fruit. grain and vege-
tables be sent in as early as possible
so that there may be no delay in get
ting the show open. D. r. Beck is the
secretary Of the committee and all
shipments should be made to him.
Everything should be carefully labeled
and all fruit that is sent in should
be wrapped so as to preserve it in the
best possible condition. Attention to
these details will insure the safe ar
rival of articles intended for display
and will enable the committee to open
the exhibition room at the opening of
the meeting of the congress.

The Frightful SufferingS Of
a PrOSpector.
IS A PHYSICAL WRECK
With a Party Of Gold Seekers He Lett
for the Yukon Gold Fields But
Was Among the Many Who We're
Disappointed

Seattle, WASH, July ION. Fleming of
Philadelphia, who arrived here tonight
from Fort Wrangel, Alaska, On the
steamer Rosalie, is a mute witness of the
suffering Of prosDectors who rushed to
the Yukon gold fields over the Edmonton
route. Mr.. Fleming presents a sad
plight, being badly bloated with dropsy.
The successive attacks of fever, scurvy.
pneumonia and dropsy have left him in a
critical condition, both physically and
mentally. The physical pain he endures
constantly is so severe that for the pas:
13 days he has scarcely slept. After all
his sufferings in the north, he has return
ed, to civilization to die. At a late hour
tonight he was unable to leave the steam
err. HIS mental condition is such that
he cannot tell a connected and succinct
story of his experiences.
From his rambling sentences it -
learned that in February, 1898. he start
| ed for Dawson from Calgary with a party
of IA, which was made up at Calgary.
! The party had so horses and it was cap
toned by John Mason, an old Ca,ifor-
Man, whom Fleming formeliy knew IN
Colorado. Mason was drowned in the
Nelson river. A Bulgarian named Valley
was accidentally shot and killed by a
Frenchman at Heligate. on the lower
Laird river Three others Of the party
died at Dease lake of scurvy. Fleming
could not recall the names of any MEM
bers of the party. The surviving mem
bers' cut a trail for 500 miles through UNI
derbrush. For four months they lived
on short rations. Nearly all their horses
died and much of their equipment was
lost.
Capt. Mason was drowned about Aug. 4,
while irving to take some horses across
| the river in a scow. Fleming says from
i the moment they started out on the trail
| their sufferings began. They opened a
| trail and bridged streams and sWampS
| for 800 miles. In the latter part of Octo-
I! Der they lost their outfits while floating
down Lizard river in a boat. They pro-
| cured another boat that was also wreck
ed. For SO hours they stood in the snow
on the bank of the river unable to go
either way on account of high banks. The
thermometer stood at As degrees below
zero. The party We're badly frozen.
When they reached Crow river they
foundt themselves out of provisions again.
Six of them went seven days with My
one cup Of tea between them. They Kill
ed and ate their last dog. When they
reached Dease lake Fleming became so III
that he determined to return. Dropsy
set in and his limbs We're useless. HIS
companions procured a horse for him and
with great difficulty he rode 80 miles to
| telegraph creek. From here he was TAX
| en- to Wrangel in a canoe. Fleming says
he does not know what will become O.
the rest Of the party. Some of them he
thinks will come back at once as they
can never get through to Dawson. He
says he often passed men dragging sick
men on sleds towards civilization. The
next steamer from Wrangel will, he
thinks, bring a number of sick.

Several Vessels Due.

Seattle, Wash, July 11.-Several vessels
are now due from st. Michaels, Alaska.
Among them are the Roanoke and ALI
ance of this city and the Garonne Of Van
couver, B. c. Unusual interest attaches
to their arrival for the reason that late
advices from Dawson by way of the Up
per Yukon river indicate that they will
bring a large amount of gold dust. The
total amount is estimated all the way
from ST. 900. 900 to 5000, 900. In addition to
the gold it is expected that they will
bring definite and detailed information
from the newly discovered Cape Nome
and GOlofinn bay districts.
