Main street in this city was the scene
! of a provoking murder on Saturday
| evening about $50 o'clock, when Pat
Miles, an old soldier and pioneer OF Ana
conda, was shot and killed by a tramp
desperate known as Thinker Burns or
Arizona. Burns came to Anaconda the
day before with a gaudy outfit. He rep
resented himself as being a working
man and was taken in along the road.
Arriving here he began to bow up on
bad whiskey and by Saturday night was
as savage as a lion. Burns n a man
named Jack Sweeney had been drinking
together and Miles was asked to join
them. Burns was doing considerable
boasting and turned to abusing Sweeney
as the three men walked out of the sa-
loon. Burns was talking about a gun he
carried, and once on the outside stepped
into the street and pulled the weapon on
Sweeney, who began to dodge and run
in safety. Miles, who was standing near,
raised his hands at Burns in warning.
when the brute leveled the gun on the
old man, shooting him below the heart.
He then pointed the gun at another man
standing close by, but it failed to go off.
Without saying a word he walked west
on First street. Deputy Sheriff Stevens,
who happened to be in the vicinity
rushed to the scene and before the muir
derer was aware of what was coming
was landed upon his back and a strug-
gle for the weapon ensued. in which the
officer won. Officer Percy ingalls, came
and Burns was placed in irons and
marched to Jail. 1t was remarkable how
quick officers of the police force and
sheriff's office reached the scene and
kept the people at bay who tried to get
into Gus Osen's saloon, where the men
had been drinking n where Mr.. Miles
was carried until DR.. Splman arrived
He was removed to the hospital and died
about Is hours later. The murdered mar
was 65 years of age and has four chill
dren residing in Anaconda and two ir
Pennsylvania. Those residing in Ana
conda are Mrs. Thomas Newcomb Mrs
Frank Brush. honas and George Miles
who were with their father when the enc
) came.
