A AFFRAY.
Grader Near Sherman Gets a Bullet in
the Mouth.

News was received last night OF a
shooting ARRAY which occurred near
Sherman Wednesday evening.
F. L. Mcintyre, a man IS years old,
together with a son and three daugh-
tiers, was working three Of his own
teams for Macarthur Bros. Charles
Rocky, alias Kingsbury, an employee OF
the same firm, it is alleged, made i'm
proper advances to one of the daugh-
tiers OF Mcintyre, when the latter re-
monstrated. Rocky became ~insolent
and threatened to whip the father,
when the latter procured a gun and told
him to leave the place. This did not
scare Rocky and he continued his m
solent language and made an attempt
to disarm McIntyre. The latter fired.
the bullet passing through Rocky's
mouth and coming out at the back Of
the neck. The wounded man was TAX
en- to the hospital at Tie Siding. His
wound is not necessarily a fatal one.
Mcintyre skipped u shortly after
ward and has not been seen since.
Yesterday morning his children hitch
ed up the three teams and left, their
destination being unknown.
Deputy Sheriff Knadler is looking
for Mcintyre, but IL the story Of the
affair as related above is true. 1t will be
hard to secure a conviction.

Coroner Gray returned to Laramie
last night at II o'clock from an official
trip twenty-eight miles north of the
city. where he held an inquest over the
body found last Tuesday in a cave on
the banks of Sybille creek.
An examination proved conclusively
that the remains were those of Oscar
Palmerton. who left the Iconoclast
mine on the 26th of last February and
has not been seen since until the body
was Discovered by J. S. Gavitt.
r. E. Fitch, Frank Lepper and J. S.
Gavitt were empaneled as a jury and
after investigating the case returned a
verdict that the body was that of Oscar
Palmertor and that he came to his
death from some cause unknown, but
presumably from the effects of expos
ure to the severe weather
A grave was dug on the opposite side
of the creek from where the body was
found and the remains inferred within
a few yards of where the dead man
breathed his last.
There were no marks of violence on
the body and all the surroundings
seemed to indicate that Palmerton
had crawled into the ave to escape a
storm and had there succumbed to the
cold. His feet were wrapped in an ex-
tra coat he carried with him, and from
the position OF the body it was presum-
ed that he had fallen into a sleep from
which he never awoke.
In the pockets of his clothes were
found a check for $40, for work per-
formed for the Iconoclast Mining com
pany, S4.1O in cash, a Colts revolver
with all the chambers loaded, a gold
watch and chain, a diamond stud, a
match box and a string of beads. There
was also a letter, but the writing was
so badly faded that it could not be de-
ciphered.
Palmerton was a reticent man,
and spoke very little of his private af-
fairs. Few people in the city knew any
thing of his ~antecedents, and the only
Information that could be obtained was
| cleaned from a few letters to him from
a sister, written in 1898. The sisters
name is Mrs. Ella Brown and her resi-
dence at that time was No. 11S0 West
Eddy street, Chicago. The letters were
written from hat place and from Mar
ion, Ohio, where it appears she was
visiting during part of that year All

BOSS TWEED
DEAL IS OFF
PURCHASERS DID NOT MAKE
FIRST PAYMENT ON THE
STATED DATE.
HITCH WAS NOT DUE
TO LACK OF FAITH.
Advance Payment Too Large and the
Owners Reserved Some Of
Best Claims.

1t is stated upon reliable authority
that the deal for the purchase of the
boss Tweed and Clipper group of mines
at Pony is off. The intending purchas-
ers. who were capitalists of Boston,
some of whom are interested in the
Butte & Boston company, We're to make
the first payment last Saturday, but
failed to do So, and as a result their
option lapsed and the properties revert
to the former owners, Messrs. Henry
Filing, w. w. Morris n Col. McKaskle,
the latter owning the Charity, Belle and
Eclipse mines. Filing & Morris are the
owners Of the Boss Tweed and Clipper
mines.
The Boss Tweed and Clipper are the
two developed mines Of the group, upon
which the Boston men had an option
for $4,000 1t is understood thai the
hitch in the negotiations was not due
to n lack of faith in the richnesss of
the Boss Tweed and Clipper mines,
which are considered the most promising
gold mines in the west, but rather to
the fact that a big payment IN advance
was demanded, ana to the further fact
thai he owners of the Boss Tweed n
Clipper reserved for themselves eight of
he best properties of the group, all OF
which surrounded the two developed
mines.
The Boss Tweed, since the rich strike
made on it last spring, has attracted
tHe ATTENTION OF capitalists throughout
the country, and at different times eff
forts have been made to secure it. 1t
Is claimed, however. that the owners
nave never manifested a disposition to
meet intending purchasers half way. In
all instances where negotiations have
been proposed, the owners have demand
ed a big advan payment and the bal
ance In six months. Eastern capitalists
are adverse to doing business in his
way. They want time to investigate
the value of a property, and will not
expend large sums Of money unless as
sured by the development of the mine
or mines that they will not suffer a loss.
Considerable regret is expressed by the
people of Pony that the deal was not
contaminated. The opening up of the
mines would ave placed at least 500
men to work this fall and added largely
to- the gold output of the state. The
development of the five mines included
IN the sale would also have stimulated
the development of other claims adioin-
Ing, including the claims owned by Nor
ris & Filing. 1t is understood that an
other deal for the sale of the mines is
In progress and may be consummated
If reasonable term are secured.

TO INCREAs

If there's any truth in the gossip
heard on the streets recently, the pay
rolls OF many of the mining companies
operating in this district will be in
creased by the addition of several hun
dred men before December. 1t is said
that the Washoe company will put sew
eral hundred men to work soon develop
ing the copper properties of tina COM
pany. The rapid rogress being made in
constructing the big smelter of the
Washoe. it is said. fully warrants the
company in opening up it's mines in
Butte. The smelter may not be in OPP
GRAFTON before eighteen months, but it
is claimed that it will require the SER
vices of at least one thousand men for
that period in opening up ore reserves
in order to keep the smelter in operation
continuously.
Street rumor has it, also, that the
copper properties owned by F. Aug.
Heinze in Park canyon will employ
about 400 additional men in the near
future. Mr.. Heinze is believed to be
the owner of the Homestake mine al
though a denial of that statement has
been made by Mr.. Heinze's, agents, The
Clinton mine in Park canyon is being
operated by Mr.. Heinze, who also owns
nearly all of the ground lying between
the Clinton and Homestake. 1t is un-
derstood that the canyon will be thor
oughly prospected this fall for copper
n the hopes of many Butte men who
own intere5 there will be fully realized.

Nome on the Garonne last May returned
to Butte last night. Mr.. Benson, who left
Nome late in August says there were
5000 idle men there.
Mr. Benson says there were about 300
passengers on the Garonne, many of
whom were Montana people Many of
them nearly went crazy when they land
ed. One old lady of 60 years began to
scratch with her hands in the beach af-
ter she landed. Asked what she was
looking, for she replied tina she in
tende to have her share of the gold
nuggets which the people talked so much
about.
Mr.. Benson spent some time in the hills
prospecting. One day, while passing a
tent in the foothills, a man ran out and
asked for some brandy. Mr.. Benson and
his party entered the tent and found a
man dying Before they could nde any
assistance the man was dead.
Mr.. Benson says that there is some
good placer ground around Anvil creek,
but three-fourths of the best claims are
tied up in litigation, as many of them
were staked out for friends early last
fall.
