duced in Evidence.
SAYS NEARY STABBED HIM
Inquest Over the Remains Develops
Little Than Was Not AL
ready Known.

The inquest on the body of Alexander
Murray, who was fatally stabbed at the
Boulevard house last Sunday evening
and who died at st. James hospital We'd
nesday afternoon, was commenced IN
Richards undertaking rooms by Coroner
| Julien last night, but owing to the alb
! sence of several witnesses was continued
until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
But little developed that is not already
known and the burden of the testimony
seemed to be hat the cutting was the
result Of a desire on Neary's part to get
! even with Murray for having struck him
while in the cockpit. Murrays ante
norton statement, made on Wednesday,
was submitted by Rev. E.. j. Groeneveld,
and was as follows:
Alexander Murray, believing that he is
going to die, makes the following state
ment:
1 attended a chicken fight at the Boule-
ward house Sunday night, January l, 1899.
After the first chicken fight the man who
afterwards stabbed me, having lost $40
OF said fight, began to abuse everybody,
calling them - of -. I was sit
ting alongside of him, and on account
of his vile language, struck him.. 1 went
down to the Boulevard house with James
Dunfrey. Five minutes after I struck
the man, who afterwards stabbed me, l
was taking a drink at the bar in another
room with Jack O'Neil, superintendent
of the Anaconda mine, and others, when
I was stabbed twice in the neck. l turned
and was stabbed again, this time in the
abdomen. 1 did not know the name OF
the man who stabbed me, but those pres
ent called him Neary.

Witnesses to the dying statement of Alex.
Murray.
Many of the witnesses testified to see
ing Murray and Neary scutfiing in the
bar room. but none of them saw Neary
use a knife. The first they knew that
anybody had been hurt was when Muir
ray said, II have been cut The story
of the first encounter was told by John
Fox. He testified that he vas at the
cock fight at the Boulevard Sunday. At
ter the fight had ended he was still in he
room and heard Neary and Con Gibbins
having some words. Gibbins called
Neary a harsh name and Neary said,
why did you call me such a name?'
Just then Murray, who was standing
close by, without a word, struck Neary
a blow in the mouth that staggered him
back six or sever feet. Witness said to
Murray, What did you hit that fellow
for? Get out Of here and Murray at
once started out. There were several
around Neary at that time and he was
crying and bawling to get out. Witness
stayed in the pit and Neary must have
got out, but he did not see him go. Glib
bins said that the trouble between him
and Neary was over money.

A mar recently released from the coun-
ty jail is telling rather an amusing story
of his experience while serving his SEN
tence. He says he is a man of the world;
that he has Travelled from one side of the
globe to the other; has been in jails of ev-
cry conceivable description on charges
ranging from the common one of hobo
ism to hat of safe blowing; has associat-
ed with the toughest men that ever
breathed when they Were not entitled to
the privilege; has faced guns in legiti-
mate battle and knives in battle that was
not exactly legitimate; has ridden the
blind baggage and the brake beam when
he could have walked; in fact, has been
IN all sorts of trouble and had a thous-
and district brand of experiences, but
never in all of them did he ever pass
through the ordeal of being held up un-
til after he entered the county Jail of
Silver Bow county to do time on a charge
of v~agrancy. When first incarcerated he
had 2.25, but before he had been in long
enough to get his bearings and sample the
brand of steel in the bars the judge of the
kangaroo court called his men together
and took it away from him. HI had,
however, been awarded the privilege of
helping to chew the tobacco bought with

COMBINING THE sH1pYAaDs.

The President of the Cramp Shipbulding
Company of Philadelphia does not talk
very enthusiastically about the effort Of
promoters TO combine all the shipyards of
the country under one management He
says that every once in a while some such
proposition Is made to the company Of
which he is President, and that the work
of forming a combination moves along
very well until a snag is struck, and then
the promoters find themselves out of a Job
He says, however, that the Cramps have
been asked TO put a price on their plant
and, in his talk about the matter, said
either that they had done so or would do
so. But he does not appear to he very
enthusiastic about the trust project He
laughs at the idea that the combination
would be able TO squeeze the government
that is, make it pay any price it liked for
warships. The government, he SAYS
knows the prices 1t ought TO pay for YES
sells for the navy. and if it were asked to
pay more than a fair price it would not
give out contracts.
But how about others who want ships.
would not they have to pay such prices as
the trust saw fit to ask? Under the nav
igation laws vessels built abroad cannot
have American registry. All coasting ves-
sells would have to be built in Amer
lean shipyards, and also all other
vessels carrying the American flag. A
combination, or trust. therefore could af-
ford to pay for the shipbuilding plants a
great deal more than they are worth Il
would make dividends for the trust stock
holders by putting up the prices of vessels.
We want more shipyards, not a trust
controlling all the shlpbuilding plants of
the country And the sooner we have
free trade in shipbuilding the sooner we
shall have more shipyards. There is no
reason why ships cannot be built at as low
a price in this country as in any other. If
we had wise navigation laws we would
now be building ships for other countries
as well as for ourselves. and 1t would not
be long before our commerce would be car
ried in American ships

before his death a large and wealthy cor
poIauon in New York city offered HIM $780,,

he refused ell such offers and quietly pur-
sued his chosen path of duty.
1t was Gen. Lees custom to leave his
tent door open in the morning for a
sprightly hen that had gone into the egg
business promptly and thus had saved her
head. When she stepped in, Gen. Leo would
put aside his work and walk post defer

Charlottesville and Gettysburg and was
finally sacrificed upon the altar of hospi-
tality at Orange Court House, in 1864.
A month or SO after his surrender Gen.
Lee went one day to the store near his
home in Powhatan county, Virginia. which
served also as the postof1ice. Everybody In
the town was instantly eager to SEE him,
and in few moments the store was
crowded. The General was talking with the
proprietor about crops and other matters,
and appeared utterly unconscious of the
fact that the gathering of the residents
was due solely to his presence. Suddenly
he realized that everybody was watching
him and modesily said: But 1 see I am
keeping you from your many customers.
Pardon met and at once withdrew.
