He Found the Gun.

Missoula, Sept. 30-A message from
the top of Lolo pass says that U. p.
Richards has been successful in securing
the telescope gun that was frightened
from him by a bear two weeks ago. 1t
will be remembered that Richards, who
was not accustomed to the telescope
sight on the gun, saw a bear through it
and thought that the animal was upon
him, when it was really 800 yards away.
He threw the gun and ran. For days
all search for the gun was unsuccess-
full but it was at length found in a
dense thicket into which its frightened
owner had thrown it in his flight.
When the message that was last re-
ceived left the Clearwater Richards
was lost and his party was searching
for him. He had started COR a hare,
rocky peak on an exploring trip and
was to build a fire on the summit v hen
he reached there. He should have been
there in half a day, but he had not
shown up for "a hours and his friends
fear that he has lost his way in the
dense cedar forest and IS walking
around in a circle at the base of th2
peak.

EXCITEMENT IS INTENSE
Scores of Men Have Left for the
New Gold Fields.
HAS MADE A BIG STRIKE
An Army Of Men on the Trail-The Dis
covery Is One Of the Most 1mpor-
tant Ever Made in the State.
A Rediscovery.

Missoula, Sept. 30.-The gold excite
ment in the lower country continues TO
attract considerable attention. Locally,
in the vicinity of Iron Mountain. the eX-
citement is intense, and scores If men
have left for the new field. which is
said to be exceptionally rich. 4 spe-
cal from Superior to the Standard
says
A few days ago big strike Of gold
quartz was made near the headquarters
of the st. Joe river in Shoshone county,
Idaho about IS miles from here, by two
men named Green and Seeley. The
ledge is from 20 to 30 feet wide and
crops out for distance of several hun
bred feet. There have been already sew
eral locations made. and on Monday of
this week large-sized stampede COM
menced, which has grown larger daily
ever since At present those who are
rushing in are from local points, but it
is expected that there will be a small
army OF men on the trail as soon as the
news gets abroad Every man In this
region who can get away is outfitling
and leaving for the St. Joe river. Those
who are prevented by business from
leaving are stalking those whose means
biN'Nhe LHSiii 1loIii anu lH6 re-
suit is that the town is nearly depopu-
lated. The assays that have been
made on the samples of rock brought
in by the discoveries run from $3.50 to
$24 in gold. This, with the great size
of the deposits, makes the discovery
one of the most important that has
been made in this part of the country
in many years.
This find is supposed to be the redis-
r0VarV urh nvt In,
been talked of by old-timers for many
years. In the early 70s a guide named
Robinson had a party of Boston men
in charge and was taking them through
this same country They camped at
the base of a mountain that has since
been called Robinson's peak One day
he left them and was gone all day.
When he came back down the mountain
he showed the men in the party some
very rich ore, but no amount of threat
ening could induce him to disclose the
location of the. ledge. Robinson after
ward disappeared and is supposed to
be dead. He never revealed the secret
of his find, and it has never been To-
Gated until now. if this is the same
ledge as it is thought here to be. Many
old-timers recall tie incident, and it
is known that it was in the region OF
this recent discovery that Robinson
found his marvelously rich ore.
Many locations have been made and
more are being made as fast as men
can get into the country. In two c1
three weeks. at the present rate of ex-
odus, there will be few men left in this
section and there will be a good sized
! camp on the st. Joe. There has no
| been such excitement in this part OF
| the country since the days of the ole

gram.
Then, with the front wheels of the rig,
the horses turned back into Cedar street

there were several very narrow escapes.
The team continued to the Northern Pa

wagon against a freight car. Then they
crossed the railway tracks at the Men
trum bridge crossing and made a tour OF
North Missouia. They turned near the

"The Girl From Chilli"

The Girl From Chill" company will
open Monday night at the Union opera
house under what promises to be the
most suspicious circumstances. The
company are all artists. and widely
known in the profession; they have been
engaged for their specific worth, to play
certain role wherein they are the
most familiar. Their costumes have
been specially made for the period and
purpose of the play; the play itself has
no counterpart in point of fun produc-
ing qualities. 1t is clean in sentiment,
most -ludicrously funny in action and
speech and presents sparkling wit, and
will be sprinkled with several bright
specialtes from high-class vaudeville
celebrities.

$50 pounds, is as strong as a lion, and
can hold man over his head with one
hand. Yet Mack, with base ball bat,
was unable to finish the snake. The ser
pent not only showed remarkable agility,
but showed that 1t had gunuine courage,
and could fight like a cornered panther. 1t
gave Mr.. Mack the prettiest tussle for
points history has probably ever recorded,
1t is to be added that after two rounds the
fight ended in draw, With both contest
ants thoroughly winded.
Mack had occasion to 20 into the show
early this morning, when he heard ter
rifle threShng. Recognizing at once that
one of the snakes had escaped from its box,
be advanced, and saw the 10 foot boa con-
strictoy rear its ugly head over the top Of
one OF the animal cages. Mack looked
around Tor some weapon OF defense, but
finding none turned and fled into the Es-
planade, where he secured bat and sour
ried back to the show. He thought it
would be fan to cut the snake into mince
meat with the club.
The snake had not escaped on the return
of Mack, but had opinions of its own in re-
lation to the impending combat. 1t coiled
itself into huge mass and assumed de-
fensive position. Up went the club through
the air and caught the snake on the head.
For an instant the snake wavered: then
/ like a Kissing rocket it shot forward and
made a lunge at Mack. Before the snake
recovered Mack had again given it a terrific
blow with the club.
| The clown rained blow after blow upon
the craHed creature, and once was sent
sprawling to the ground. Before he get on
his feet the snake had seized him around
the waist and was endeavorng to crush
him. Mack wrigged loose with the as
sistanCe of Matthew johnson and others
At the first opportunity he reversed his
bat and gave the reptile an awful blow in
the neck, with the butt end.
Down in heap went the snake, and
nlaCh was ceItalh ne ndi knochtu Id cOm-
pletely out, but he was mistaken. The
snake was up and after Mack, who leaped
aside, Tented with his bat, and the snake
carried with the force Of the redhot lunge,
landed out into the middle Of the enclosure.
1t then again advanced into the open and
glared at Mack. The reptile shook with
anger and WEAKNESS, but made no attempt
to renew the battle. After a short rest
Mack again attacked the snake. This round
