Jesse Sherman one OF the best
known citizens OF the camp. Is In jail

Sherman still claims the shooting was

years ago the father, who was becom-
Ing quite aged, retired from the bust
hess and it was taken In charge by his
sons. The Sherman brothers continued
the business until recently, when they
sold out, and Jesse Sherman and his
wife expected to leave tomorrow, in
tending to locate in the West
Shortly after dinner to-day. Jesse
suggested to his wife that they 90 out

few rabbits from the ranch, which
they had been asked to do by the new
owner of the place, who has other prop
erty here, and who has not yet taken
up his residence ON the Sherman farm.

| This gentleman, Frank Bochaty, asked
Sherman to bring in n few pigeons for
him also. Jesse thereupon loaded his
double -barreled shotgun and placed 1t
in the buggy to take with him. He
made the remark as lie passed out that
they had been having lots of trouble
from boys OF the city going out and
stealing pigeons and rabbits.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman arrived
at the ranch they saw number of
boys about the place, several of whom
had guns and We're apparently hunting
on the property.
Sherman's story from this point is
that when he saw the boys he conclud-
ed he would catch them and give them
good scare. lie said 1t was his idea
to get them all together get their
names and report them to the new
owner of the property. AS he jumped
from the buggy with his gun in his
hands, the boys saw ham and started
to run in different directions. There
were eight boys in the party. One of
the boys, n lad named Adams, he
caught. He told him to stand by the
barn until he got the others, and Sher
man then started in pursuit of them.
A moment later the boy at the barn
heard shot, and running to the end
of the barn he saw his companions fall,
but he did not see the shot fired. Sher-
man says that as he started running
after the boys, who We're about 100
yards ahead Of him, he shouted to them
TO stop, but they ran all the faster and
that while he was In pursuit he stun
bled and In some manner the gun was
accidentally discharged, three lads,
Dorrington, King and Considine being
laid low by the one shot.
Sherman ran up TO the boys, and, see
ing their condition, shouted to his wife
to bring mp the buggy, which she did.
Leaving his wife to walk home, he put
the three boys into the vehicle and
started for the city on a dead run.
The trip was made In such short time
that the horse dropped dead after ar
irving in Leadville. Sherman sum
surgeons for all of the boys, and
then called at the Jail and gave himself
up.

ITS BEST USE.

While all the northwestern newspap-
ers publish accounts of the large num-
bers Of immigrants the two t%ransconti-
mental roads are bringing from the
east. it is noticeable that none of the
newspapers of Montana makes mention
of any of the homeseekers remaining
in the locality wherein it is published.
They are all going further west, into
Washington and Oregon, states that
advertise in the populous localities Of
the east and seek to encourage immigra-
tion. Montana, apparently, does not
care whether it's population increases
or remains stationary, or sven de-
%creases, as it alone Of the western
states makes no effort to tempt people
into coming and making their homes
here. It canot be said that the state
lacks in attractions or is deficient in
Inducements that can be held out to
homeseekers. II it desires to keep
pace with it's neighbors it must be
open and doing and not be longer con-
tent to simply serve as a gateway
leading to the valleys and prairies Of
the states beyond.
1t lies in. the power of the legisla-
ture to render assistance and no better
opportunity will ever present itself
to do something IN that direction than
is afforded right now. Instead of
jangling over the matter of the fund
to which to give the disowned $50, 900
"boodle" money in posse ssion of the
treasurer, a bill should be passed de-
voting the entire amount, or at least
a generous portion Of it to the purpose
OF creating and maintaining a bureau
of immigration. The money could
not be put to much BETTER use and as
an investments would prove highly
profitable. Having served its end of
bringing disgrace upon the state, it
can nov be used as a means of doing
the state some good and by causing
new blood and new manhood to seek
their homes here overcome the iudu-
ence and power of those who IN the
past have been responsible for the
shame that now rests upon it.

DEMAND TUAN'S HEAD

High Chinese officials, representa-.
tives Of the progressive element in the
empire, say that the foreign ENJOYS
will make a grave mistake it they &C
cept the courts edict banishing Prince
Tuan to central Asia, instead of insist.
ing upon their original demand that
he be made to suffer capital punish
ment. They say that the courts rep
resentation of inability to punish Tuan
more severely than by Punishment is
utterly false and that if it desires to
do so it a easily punish him without
the slightest danger to the dynasty.
To permit the court 10 have its way in
the matter, they point out, will be a
betrayal of Ii Hung Chang and the
other plenipotentiaries, who, relying
upon the support of the powers, have
recommended decapitation of Tuan.
To allow him to remain alive. they
say, will make it impossible to estab-
lish an abiding peace between China
and the rest of the world, as he will
be constantly intriguing and plotting
against the foreigners. As he was the
chief instigator of the late o%utrages,
so will he be the instigator of trouble
in the future.
In the opinion of the men quoted
the ENJOYS will make a botch Of the
whole far eastern question it they per-
nit Tuan to escape with his life. As
showing that the court is not powerless
to enforce it's edict they cite the case
Of the regent who is 1860 was put to
death by the Chinese, after the French
and English marched onto Pekin, and
that. too, without any demand from
the foreigners. They decapitated him
because they considered him to be a
bad man and responsible for the trou-
BILE with the Europeans. He had been
duly appointed regent by the dying
emperor to reign during the minority
of the latter's son, and so by the very
nature of things was much more pow
erful than Tuan, who occupies his
position at the pleasure of the court.

democratic newspapers and their re-

that end in view sends the most en-

Again the influence of the United

agreement applies not .only to Tien

Governor Toole apparently is Of the
opinion that he can d~ifferentiate be-
tween prizefights. He gave it out
that Rubin and Jeffries would not be
permitted to give their delsartian ex-
hibition in the state. but he permits
local bruisers to maui one another to
their hearts content within the
shadow Of the building occupied as
the executive office. People who are
not possessed of the governors fine
powers of discrimination are unable to
see the difference between a prizefight
in which men of extended reputation
as sluggers are the principals, or one
where the combatants are merely
"dubs." The principle involved is
the same and if one is in violation of
the law the other is also. Governor
Toole would do we'll to enter into cor
respondence with Governor Nash and
learn a few things about so-oalled
glove contests. III
