NOT ALL WERE BR|BED
Teton Republicans Not Proud of
Their Representatives.
ARE 10TH TO BELIEVE 1T
Republicans Had Everything to Win
and Nothing to Lose From the
Deadlock-An Opportunity
Was Lost

Great Falls Feb. 16.-The republicans
of Teton are apparently not proud OF
their legislative representatives, all
though the Acantha in the following
declaration tries to let them down as
gently as possible. 1t says:
In another column of this issue will
be found the unwelcome news that Will
liam A. Clark, of Butte. New York and
Paris, has been elected United States
senator to represent the great state of
Montana. His election was made posi-
BILE by the votes of eleven of the six
teen republicans, members of the sixth
assembly, and in the column of those
SO voting we find the names of Senator
Mitchell and Representative Magee of
Teton county Just what brought about
the change in these gentlemen is hard
to determine, and it is decided change
for either Mitchell or Magee to advocate
democratic doctrines or vote for demo-
cratic office seekers.
Some people claim that they were
reached by the boodlers who are charg-
ed to have conducted the Clark cam
paign, but the Acantha is 10th to be-
lieve this charge. During our residence
here we have been intimately associated
with both men and know them to be
honorable and upright. We have seen
them under fire, seen them when it
would have been to their financial ad-
vantage to have committed dishonorable
acts. but they remained true to their
friends, true to themselves. although at
the time were severely criticised for
doing SO, and until it is clearly proven
to the contrary we will not believe them
to have been corrupted by Clark's gold
Senator Hobson, one of the recreant
republicans, attempts to justify him
self and his associates by saying that
Mr.. Clark signed statement pledging
himself to vote for a high protective
tariff. but that is rather a slim excuse
We hoped to see better one.
The fact is, a serious error was made,
look at it in whatever light you please.
The republican party had nothing to
fear from a deadlock. If the warning
democratic factions could not elect a
senator the republicans could elect two
in two years from now. We had every
thing to win and nothing to lose. Some
one Numbered and this opportunity was
lost. We are sorry for it; sorry too for
the men who are responsible. But we
believe it to have been an error of judg-
ment, and do not believe all the republi-
cans to have been bribed.

THE M'KINLEY FATALITY.
The Car Was Accidentally Pushed Down
the Shaft.

lie Sar was Accidentally rushed Down
the Shaft.
Great Falls, Feb. 16.-Louis Thorpe
of Barker says of the recent fall and
death in that camp Of Thomas Tredrea
that the mine in which he was employ
ed the Mckinley, was under lease to
Wetze, Thorpe and Tredrea, the two
latter sub-leasing part of their interests
to Thomas O'Donnell. The men were
sinking so feet further in The shaft
which is now 10S feet, with station
IS feet another being cut at the bottom
The mine is operated with a within, with
two buckets, one for muck and the 9th
er for water. The work force was di-
vided into two shifts, Thorpe and
O'Donnell on one and Tredrea and a
man named James Mellen on the other
In each shift one man works in the
shaft, while the ether remains on top,
hoisting and lowering the buckets and
dumping them. From the shaft house
is track running to the dump. This
track is built on a grade giving it suffi-
cient incline towards the dump, SO that
the car will run down. 1t was the Gus
tom for the top man to raise one buck
ct and the miner to the 50-foot level
where the miner would get off and wait
for. the empty bucket, with which he
would again descend to the bottom of
the shaft. Upon the bucket reaching
the top, the top man would place it
on the car and Immediately lower the
empty, and then proceed to dump with
the full bucket.
On the day of the accident Thorpe
and O'Donnell had just started for the
mine to take their shift, when they saw
Mellen hurrying towards them, shout
ing. They fastened to the mine and
Mellen told them that Patsy was in
the shaft, hurt, the bucket was at the
top, smashed. Thorpe made a sling
and lowered O'Donnell to the bottom
of the shaft where he found Tredrea,
lying at the bottom in a crouching po-
sition. Tredrea was alive and con-
scious. O'Donnell fastened the rope
around him and signalled to hoist. They
reached the surface all right and start
ed down the hill with the injured man,
who was evidently suffering intense
pain. Before they had gone very far,
however. ne expired.
Justice Williams, as deputy coroner,
held an inquest, at which Melien's tes-
timony was that the car and empty
bucket were standing on the track, 10 or
Is feet from the mouth of the shaft, and

such force as to start it towards the
shaft, down which it plunged. striking

TOM This was the only direct evidence,
ana the jury returned the Nefulct OF
accidental death, relieving all parties
from blame. The examination of the
body disclosed four ribs fractured and
internal injuries.
Regarding Mr.. Mellen's statement
that the car was started and continued
on down the shaft through his accident
ally falling and striking it, Mr.. Thorpe
says (and he says O'Donnell is of the
same opinon). that if the car was 10
or is feet from the shaft it could not
be forced ahead to the shaft by simply
falling against it, as the car will run
to the dump of its own accord when
once started, but returning, it requires
mans strength to push it and keep
it in motion
