Bozeman, October 8, 1900.

other day ana the ora QudfIel SeeilS "
nave been renewed, with the result that
Bucklin attacked Heiskell and gave him
an unmerciful beating. The punishment
inflicted was so severe that for a time
the life of Heiskell was despaired of.
Medical attendance was procured, n
after a careful examination it was the
DOCTORS opinion that no serious results
would follow, provided no other compli-
cation set in. The injured man was re-
moved to his home and a warrant issued
for the assailant, in which he is charged
with assault in the third degree. Buck
lin has no permanent home, being en-
ployed at different places in the valley,
while Heiskell lives on the West Gallatin
and is considered a good citizen gener-
ally.
AS the result of a short hunting trip
taken on Sunday, Bud Story and sam
Crockett have a supply of venison that
will aast for a time at least. They vent
over on Big Badly looking for deer,
and succeeded in bringing down a fine,
3-year-old buck, with which they re-
turned in triumph to the own

enough small rock with which to fill the
streets in the city that need a%ttentlon

Henry AppersOn is fugitive from
justice, while Frank Green and Frank
Brown languish in the county Jail, all
on account of appropriating % sacks of
wheat, the property of William, Elan
merry, who is engaged in ranching about
six miles west of town. On Monday
morning Green drove, to the Story mill
with the wheat and tried to make a sale
to Manager Williams, who, by the way,
is a wheat sharp from way back" Mr..
Williams was struck with the familiar
appearance of the sacks, and after ex-
aminfng the grain concluded that it had
not been grown in the locality desig-
mated by Green. He at once notified
Sheriff Fransham of his suspicious, and
tried to hold Green until the arrival OF
the officer by ~prolonging negotiations.
The latter smelled a mouse and abruptly
left the mill and grain and started for
town, but met the sheriff on the way.
When he espied the officer he lost no
time in getting out of the wagon ana
taking to the brush, which being very
dense, made it impossible for the officer
p tnfind kim. The sheriff took possession
/ Of the team and brought it to a livery
barn, where he was informed that 1t be-
logged to Apperson. Having cause to
think that the latter was also mixed up
il 1the deal, the sheriff swore. to a COM
Ffsfint and Apperson was arrested and
brought to town and liberated on fur
nishing a bond of $500 to appear for trial
The bond was duly signed and Apperson
given his freedom, which he made use Of
to get out of the country with all speed.
HIS .bondsmen are now very much con-
cerned as to his present address, and If
discovered they will send an escort to
bring the traveller back. Green who
when last seen was disappearing in the
brush, managed to get as far as Liv-
ingston, where the officers were on the
lookout for him n promptly gathered
him in, and the sheriff brought him back
before Judge Mcpherson, where he plead
guilty to h charge ef~petit larceny, the
grain being worth only $25. He will be
sentenced tomorrow. Frank Burns, who
Is also connected with the unsavory
transaction in a way that does not at
this time seem quite clear, is also regis
tered as a boarder at the county Jail,
and will have an opportunity to explain
| just what he did and what he knows
| about the affair. 1t is said that the men
| implicated in the theft of the grain had
all been in the employ Of Mr.. Flannery
this season, and several reasons are as
| signed. for the course they pursued, that
! will. land them in the county Jail for a
longer s~ojourn h a they had originally
calculated upon. If at all.
