THE CORONER'S JURY
Wanted 10 Make Complete Job of the
Affair.

Great Falls, Nov CA man nam I'd
Rudolph Jasper was killed by John
Mcintyre in Glasgow few days ago. q
stove poker being the weapon used.
The murder was related in special
to the Standard at the time and the
acquittal of Mcintyre on preliminary
hearing told yesterday, but there is
yet tale to tell in connection, accord
ing to the Glasgow Review, that will
bear repeating. The good people Of
Glasgow are in the habit of doing
things up in proper style when they
start in, and evidently so thought the
coroner's jury who met to investigate
the death of Jasper. After listening to
the evidence in the case the jury retir-
ed to deliberate but failed to agree and
called in the county attorney to their
assistance. 1t seems that all the jury
We're agreed as to when, how and where
the deceased met his death, but por-
ton insisted on trying the man who did
the killing and attending to his case as
well as the case of the dead man.
The county attorney read the statutes
made and provided for the guidance
of coroner's juries and explained that
their duties consisted in rendering a
verdict as to what, in their. opinion,
caused the death of the party before
them. Satisfied that they would accept
his Interpretation Of the law he retired
and the jury proceeded to deliberate
some more. After nine hours discus
sion the jury succeGed in reaching u
disagreement.th the recalcitrant jurors, not
believing the county attorneys inter-
probation of the law cut much ice, and
insisting on their right to go ahead and
try Mcintyre for murder, manslaugn-
ter, arson, burglary or whatever they
in their wisdom saw fit, they were at
once discharged by the coroner. and. as
the Review APPLY remarks, now the
public is not certain whether Jasper Ia
dead. or, if dead, whether he was killed
by a stove, a poker, a stray Mauser
from the Philippines or a piece of a
whiskey bottle from a Kentucky rally.

TALKED QUITE FREELY
Zupan chich Appears to Be Quite
Cheerful.
ALL HANDS WERE DRUNK
And He Says He Doesn't Know How
the Row Which Resulted in Mar
hairs Death Began-Acted
in Selt-Defense.

Great Falls, Nov. 6.-Deputy Sheriff
Reynolds arrived on this mornings
eastbound train, having in his
charge Zupanchich, the Austrian ar
rested at Missoula for the killing of
Frank Marian.
Zupanchich, when seen by a Stand
ard reporter at the Jail this afternoon,
was cheerful and was engaged in a
game Of "seven-up" with one of the
other prisoners. He was not at all tact
turn and answered all questions quite
freely. His story is that he cannot
remember what the quarrel started
about, as all hands were drunk, and
any old thing served as an excuse for
row. During the mix-up, according
to his story, Marian struck him with
beer bottle, which broke and he get
ting it away from Mariner, struck him
on the elbow, or the side of the head,
or neck, with the bottle; he did not
know he had cut him badly, after which
he went to bed.
At o'clock Sunday morning Kolcilga
woke him up and told him to leave the
town, another Austrian told him the
same thing and he never knew for sure
tIdl MdFIdT was uedu Until lolu ~
by Deputy Sheriff Reynolds. He re-
manned in hiding outside the city all
day Sunday until evening, when he
went to the home of an Austrian in
Boston Heights and had supper. He
then struck out alone. crossing the
smelter footbridge, followed the rail-
road track to Cascade, where he rode
on freight into Helena.
1t took him two days to get to Cas-
cade, as he travelled nights and re-
manned hidden, in day, and a day was
consumed getting from Cascade to Hell
ena, and during the three days he had
nothing to eat, being afraid to go to
any house. From Helena he took the
Northern Pacific and the rest of his
story has been told in the Missoula dis
patches. When he left here he had IS
and when arrested so cents of it re-
manned. He insists that no one gave
him either help or money.
He says he only struck Marhar in
self-defense and would have given him
self up, only for Koncilea and others,
who insisted that he run away, and,
badly scared, he took their advice. He
has retained Huntoon & Cockrell to
defend him. The $50 reward will be
divided between officer McGregor of
Missoua and John Jennings, the black
smith who pointed him out.

good many Americans, especially those
who pursued their geographical studies
many years ago, still associate New

made very rapid advance with the CEN

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
The Smallpox Situation Was
Canvassed:
A NEW FIRE APPARATUS
The City Will Purchase Combination
Chemical and Hose wagon-Rs-
newal OF Agreement With
the Commissioners.

The city council met last evening in
pursuance to the call of Mayor Nc
Carthy for a special meeting to con-
slider the smallpox situation and to
take action on the purchase of new
piece of apparatus for the fire depart
ment. 1t was expected that something
would be done in relation to compul-
sorry vaccination throughout the city,
but it appears the health officer has
power to make such an order, and that
was left to DR.. Alexander, and all that
was done with reference to smallpox
was to grant DR.. Alexander assist
ance and accept the apology of tye
county commissioners with reference
to the acceptance of patients sent to
the pesthouse by the city.
The business first taken up was the
matter of purchasing a combination
chemical and hose wagon for the new
fire station. The fire and water COM
mlttee reported recommending the ac-
ceptance of the offer of the Fire Elk
tinguisher company of Chicago, which
was an offer to furnish the apparatus
for $1,000. The recommendation con-
tanned qualification to the effect that
the Fire ENtinguisher company must
enter into a contract in accordance
with the representations made by its
agent After recess to enable the
aldermen to examine pictures Of the
apparatus, the report was adopted.
The smallpox matter was next taken
up and the clerk read the commune
cation from Chairman w. D. Clark
Of the board of county commissioners
relative to the city's notification of its
intention to withdraw from It's agree
ment to defray half the expense of
conducting the pesthouse while DR..
Sullivan remained in charge. The
clerk also read communication from
DR.. Alexander, city health officer, stat
ing that owing to his connection with
one of the hospitals of the city as staff
surgeon he would no longer be able to
attend to the smallpox cases and sug-
costing that another physician be Sc
cured for that work.
The communication of the county
commissioners was first called up.
After some talk touching upon the
controversy that had arisen, during
which DR.. Alexander was called upon
for his views, and said he thought
accepting the proposition was the prop
err course, and County Commissioner
Farrell stated the proposition was

ratio would give Boston a voting
strength of about 10000.
The court of compulsory arbitration,
as has already been explained in these
columns is for the adjustment of the
differences between labor unions and
employers. 1t recognizes three parties
in interest, the employers, the en-
ployes and the public, and it was estab-
lished with the general consent of ALL
Either employers or trades unions can
begin proceedings for arbitration under
the provisions of the law and each side
is bound under penalties to accept the
decision of the court While even the
author of the act does not claim that
1t is the best measure that can be de-
Vised, he contends that it is proceed
Ing along right lines, and cites as prac-
teal evidence in its favor the fact that
during the four or five years that it
has been in operation there have been
no strikes in New Zealand. The law
provides for proceeding against the
funds of the trade unions in case they
defy the decree of the court while
unions so poor as to be without funds
are almost invariably not only willing
but anxious to appeal to and accept
the good offices of the court.
Whether under the more complex
conditions that obtain in this country
such a tribunal could be operated sat
isfaCtOrily may well be questioned. In
the state of affairs that existed in
Cleveland some months ago there We're

This is quite a triumph for the persis-

the cost of building operations, and it

as follows:

Not So Large.

Great Falls, Nov 6.-Referring to the
high beef prices which have prevailed
in the Chicago market during the past
season, NJ. E. Miner, one of Northern
Montana's heaviest shippers, informs
the Benton River Press that the fancy
figures have applied principally to ma
tive cattle from Iowa. Illinois and adj
joining states. On this class of cattle
the advance has been from $3.50 to
$500 over the quotations of last year,
while on range stock that was not win
ter-fed the average advance has not
been more than so cents per 100 pounds.
OF course this increase in beef prices
is very acceptable to Montana stock
men, but it is not anywhere near so
big a thing as represented by some of
the eastern newspapers.

with the result of his trip. He says
that he had made up, his mind that
the Austrian would travel by freight

to look for him, riding on freights.
The Austrian boarded the very train
upon which Bennett was riding when
it stopped at Elliston and his capture
was made certain.

Promise Success.

From the London Mail.
DR.. Peter Stiens, a Russian electro
clan, announces that he has applied an
electrical apparatus of his invention to
several blind persons and has made
them see light and the shape of objects
around them. At an interview with a
member of the staff of the Central
News DIR. Stien said:
Il have been working on this invenn-
ton for some years, and have every
confidence now that shall soon bring
it to such a state of utility that blind
persons by its aid will be able to see
with their brains just as ordinary peo-
pie see, through their normal eyes, In
a word, my invention acts in place Of
