DAN SHEA IS
!. PARALYzED
INJURY SUSTAINED BY FALLING
FROM GANG PLANK OF THE
OREGON.
HAS RETURNED FROM
NOME TO RECOVER
Says Montana Men Are Disappointed
and Will Doubtless Come Home
Wages Are Low.

Dan Shea, a young man well known in
this city, arrived from Cape Nome a few
days ago in a serious condition. He met
with an accident at Dutch Harbor which
put a period to his career in the northern
gold fields. AS he was walking off the
gang plank of the steamer Oregon he
slipped and fell, and before he reached
the water, 25 feet below, his head en-
countered something and he was taken
out OF the water a few minutes later I'M
conscious and knew nothing until six
hours later. However, he decided to con-
tinue his journey and accompanied the
Z to Nome City and remained in a
hospital 10 days. His left side was par
alyzed from the effect of the blow on his
head, and as the attending surgeons were
OF the opinion that he would not be him
self for some months he decided to come
back to Butte to get well. He arrived in
Butte on July l and is slowly recover
ing.
Mr.. Shea was not very favorably i'm
pressed with Nome. He says all the Mon
a men We're disappointed and expects
that many who left Butte will be back
here before the close of navigation. He
confirms the stories that have reached
here to the effect that the beach claims
are worked out for many miles each side
of Nome and says the best miners can
only make from 81 to S. per day working
them. AS the cheapest meal obtainable
costs 81 and everything else in proportion
their purses will not become plethoric on
this basis. When Mr.. Shea was in the
camp. and he was among the earliest
corners. experienced miners were glad to
get work at IS per day and board, and
employment was hard to find. Men were
coming in by the thousands and Mr.. Shea
lis of the opinion that by this time wages
have suffered accordingly. Ground has
been staked and restaked and many good
claims will be tied up for years in litiga-
ton, and men without money have blu
little opportunity to acquire property.
Mr.. Shea returned on the San Bias
which was crowded with disguised and
disappointed men. The ship had on board
over a million dollars worth of Dawson
City gold.

ECHO OF NIXON CASE.

Another incident in the Nixon bank
ruptcy case came up today by Judge
Knowles granting an injunction order
against Fannie A. Nixon restraining
her from prosecuting a suit brought by
her against Receiver Spencer to recov-
err the possession of a horse, wagon and
harness before Justice G. S. Smith in
Butte. About two weeks ago
Mrs. Nixon brought suit claiming the
property as her own, and although the
wagt was double chained and pad
locked, the doughty constable, Joseph
Vo1ker, broke the chains n carried
the wagon off. The horse was taken
from its pasture, hitched to a new bug
gy, but rebelling against being put in
harness after so nan months of liber-
ty it kicked up it's heels and away
went the buggy, costing Nixon $35 for
repairs.
A question of the jurisdiction of the
South Butte justice has arisen as to
whether he had any power to entertain
a suit against an official of the United
States court, hence Attorneys Sanders
and Carroll sued OUT the injunction. 1t
is r~eturnable July Is at Helena.

EXCITEMENT IN CONTEST.

The end of the week finds no abate-
ment of the excitement in the Inter
Mountains free trip to the park con-
test. The friends of the fair contestants
in the various towns are evincing a
lively interest in the T., and every
mail brings in packages of coupons.
From present appearances it will re-
Quire five figures to record the wfnner
in Butte at least, when the contest
closes. Already Miss O'Neil is within
a few votes of the 5000 mark and Miss
Sullivan and Miss Mcdonald have
passed the 1000. These latter two are
running a close race. In Anaconda the
leaders are past six hundred, and in
Dillon the 500 post has been left be-
hind. 1t will be a great trip for the
nine young ladies who are fortunate
enough to be ahead in the final count
of the ballots. They will be taken
through Wonderland in one of Mr.. Wy
lies famous coaches and 10 point OF
interest on the trip will be ommitted.

NO GROUNDS FOR RUMOR.
Reported That the Fire in St. Law

1t was currently reported about the
city this morning that the fire in the

BOERS LOSING HEART.
REPORTS FROM AFRICA SAY FREE
SKATERS ARE DEMORALIZED

Copyright. 1900: By The New-York Tribunel
IBY CABLE TRIBUNE.l
London. May T. g 2. m.-From more than one
source it is reported that General Roberts does
not anticipate any serious opposition south of
the Vaal River. The Standards" dispatch says
that the Free Staters are tired of the war and
alarmed for their property and the Transvaal-
ers recognize the inpossibility of continuing the
struggle in the southern Republic. This i'm
preston is TO a certain extent borne out by a
report from Lolr2nco Marques to the effect that
General Botha considers the Free Staters to be
completely demoralized.
According to a telegram from Copenhagen,
President Kriiger himself takes a gloomy view
of the Republican prospects. Two months ago
the Transvaal President appeared to a Nor
wegian officer. who paid him a visit to be very
cid and broken. and to recognize the futility Of
the Boer opposition.
No confirmation has yet been received of the
report from Bloemfontein that winburg has
been occupied by Hamilton.
The Express correspondent with General
Hunter, in his account OF the operations OF the
Mafeking relief column. states that the Irish
Brigade in the action on Friday. This Is
assisting Hunter. The last time that the COM
mander of the Irish Brigade was heard of he
in conjunction with Brabant in the ad-
vance from the south for the relief Of wepener.
