E. N. Edwards, a young man
who the past two years has
been employed on the Broad
axe, Lidgerwood, in the city,
Monday, paid The Times a call
and among other things re-
marked that he expected to
start a Democratic paper at
Lidgerwood about the first of
March-to be called the Moni-
tor.
That show "Too Much John
son." will be remembered as
one of the best ever exhibited
at the opera house here. The
other day we heard two young
ladies discussing its various
phases and laughing anew at
its funny sides. When one
said: "Oh, I think it was too
bad that poor old man was left
on the island" When the other
answered: II expect the party
sent for him soon after they
reached home," and the other
soloquised plaintively: "Yes, 1
suppose he's at home by this
time"
The official papers of Rich
land county this year are the
Wahpeton Gazette and Times
and the Fairmount News. The
choice is all right. The Gazette
needs the work. for it's home
advertising patronage is not
liberal enough to make a fat
living; The Times deserves it
for doing all the cussing and
discussing for the party for so
many fruitless years, and the
Fairmount News-well it's
about the turn for the News to
get something from the public,
but after this we must refuse
to believe it if ventures the as
sertion that politics are "durn-
ed deceivin" again.-Broadax.
A gang of Kentucky colonels
got to shooting at each other,
Tuesday, when three men were
killed and others wounded.
The trouble grew out of diff.
fculties incurred while the
men were in the army to fight
Spain, when Lieut.. Scott shot
and wounded Col. Colson.
Since this time these two men
have been armed and each ex-
pected trouble in case of a meet
ing. The meeting occurred in
the leading hotel of Frankfort,
Tuesday. Shooting began at
once and when the battle clos
ed it was found three men had
been killed and several wound
ed. Colson is in Jail. His
claim is self defense and that
all the others were shooting at
him. He emptied one pistol
and brought another into action
before the fight closed. It is
too bad these men were idle in
camp and could not have been
tarned loose on the Spanish.

Mrs. Regan volunteered to &C.
company the man to the coun-
ty Jail, and together they went.
At the Jail the lady turned her
charge over to Jailer Martin
Pishkur, and returned to her
home. There were no deputies
in the office and Mr.. Pishkur
held a short conversation with
the murderer, long enough
however, to learn he had killed
a man.
Say, partner, I want to give
myself up to the sheriff." said
Gilman.
"He is not in now," the jailer
said.
"Well, I guess I'll go out and
find him." was what the jailer
got, and the murderer walked
out, saying as he walked away
that he wanted to get drink.
Evidently the jailer got his
second wind then, for as soon
as the man was out of sight,
Pishkur started out after him.
He met Captain Leyden and
Sergeant Walsh at the corner
of Alaska and Granite, and
these officers asked him if the
murderer was safely behind
the bars of the Jail, and the re-
ply they got knocked them off
their feet. Pishkur hastened
up on Main street and went
down to Deeney's saloon at the
foot of Hamilton and met Gill
man coming out of that saloon.
He was in company with Muir
ply. They had been in for a
drink and were returning to
the Jail. By the time they
reached the Jail the sheriff and
a number of police officers had
arrived there, too. This time
Pishkur locked the man up
without saying anything, and
the sheriff went into the jailer's
Office to have a talk with the
murderer.
"Where did I hit him." he
asked the sheriff.
"Squarely in the heart" was
the reply.
"Oh, no, I guess not" said
Gilman, with a smile. II am
a pretty good shot, and I aimed
at his left lung and must GER
tainly have hit him there"
Then he smiled like demon
and remarked with as little con-
Germ as is possible for man to
affect: "Well, that is so; the
heart is on that side, too, come
to think of it,"
"What did you shoot him
for1" asked the sheriff.
"Well, oh L never mind;
that will be determined later"
answered he.
The ball was of Al caliber
from a Smith & Wesson revol-
yer. There was but one bullet
out of the chamber. 1t entered
the breast just above the heart
and came out under thee right
shoulder blade and buried it.
self in the wall of the room.
Sullivan had resided in Butte
for several years, and was 26
years old, single. Gilman has
been in the city since last May
and has worked in the mines,
as did his victim. Murphy
says that Gilman is married
and that his wife lives at Ham
burg. Iowa.

DAN suLL1vAN's MURDER
At Anaconda, Montana, Christmas
Day-An Old Grudge.

At Anaconda Montana, Christmas
Day-An Old Grudge.
From the Anaconda, Mont, Standard.
A cold-blooded nurd er
marred the religious solemnity
of the festival of Christmas.
The day had nearly passed into
history and not a cloud flecked
the serene horizon. 1t was not,
however, to be a day devoid of
horror, for Ed Gilman took the
life of brother miner, Dan D.
Sullivan.
The murder occurred in the
Duggan boarding house in
Dublin gulch. AS evidence of
the cold-blooded premeditation,
after the fatal shot was fired,
the murderer coolly walked
around to another part of the
house, told the friend that he
had killed the ---, and then
walked down to Sheriff Regan's
house to Civ himself up. And
as a further evidence of the
mans calloused heart, he in
formed the sheriff at the all, in
reply to a question as to why
he mitted the crime, that

and a manuarv. so,z": s rphy went
into a room adjoining the
boarding house and engaged
in a wrestling match. Gilman
carried a Al Smith & Wesson
pistol in his pocket. This he
took out and placed on the table
while he wrestled with Muir
ply. After their exercise the
two men engaged in a debate
on the merits of the several
holds used in wrestling match
es. Then Murphy went out of
the room, which is used by the
miners as change or drying
room, place where the miners
clothes are changed for the
everyday street clothes.
Presently Sullivan went into
the dry room and then Gilman
and he began what proved to be
their last quarrel. It was devel-
oped that the men had more or
less animosity toward each
other for a year or more.
OTIS - strange that you
fellows will go down town and
buy beer, come down here and
drink it, and then go telling
that they sell beer at Duggan's
boarding house." Thus spoke
Dan Sullivan, and Gilman evil

significance to the assertion.
Probably there had been re-

Gilman had been accused of
circulating the report, and it
might be that the words CON-
ing from Sullivan, directed
toward Gilman, meant more
than the average man would
grasp, for no sooner were the
words spoken than the leaden
messenger of death crashed
through the heart of the man
who uttered them.
Sullivan stagge red out
through the doorway and fell
dead in the hall. A stream of
blood poured from the horrible
wound and over the lifeless
form Gilman coolly stepped
and went out through the hall
and around to the sitting room
of the boarding house. At any
rate no one hastened to cap
ture the murderer.
Gilman, after confessing to
Murphy, went down to Sheriff
Regan's house to give himself
up.
In the meantime Tom Can't
Ian, who runs a saloon in East
Copper Street, heard of the
shooting, or heard the report of
the pistol, and he went to the
boarding house. From there
he went to Sheriff Regan's
house and at the donr mat tho
