one MAN WAS KILLED AND ANOTHER
SUPPOSED TO BE FATALLY INJURED
MoRNNGH
DERER SUCCEEDED MAKING ESCAPE.

stopping at Conley's ranch not far from
the scene OF the killing, Identified the
dead man as a person with whom he
had trouble in the saloon between IL and
II o'clock last night and If his story Is
correct it goes to show that Graman
was in a violent mood last night. Ravey
said that he and another man named
William Coulter, who is also stopping at
Conley's ranch, visited the saloon be-
tween II and Il O'Clock, and while they
were in there Graman,. and one Of MIL
ler's daughters entered the saloon from
the back room. Graman put nickel in
{, slot machine and the girl played the
machine. 1t failed to pay and Coulter,
who is we'll acquainted in the house re-
marked that Graman did not win.
This man (Graman) with the little girl
asked us to take drink said Ravey.
I'VE started for the bar but before we
reached it Graman threw Coulter to the
floor and commenced to beat him. l
said why man, what are YOU doing.
He did nothing to YOU Another man,
an Austrian. came in at the time and
he and Miller made Grammar let Coulter
go. A moment afterwards Andrew Phil
lips came into the saloon and talked
with Graman in a language l did not
understand. After moment he threw
Phillips to the floor and commenced to
pound him; while the other man CONF
menced to pound Coulter. l started to
leave when one of the men (Graman)
followed me and as l was passing
through the door hit me on the head
with what l think was a billy. l was
knocked down but soon regained my feet
and went to a hospital where had
my head sewed up. l did not go back
to the saloon afterwards and know Moth
ing of anybody being hurt except Coulter
and Phillips
Ravey was taken to the undertaking
parlors and after looking at the dead
man said that he believed that he was
the person who entered the saloon with
Miller's daughter and kicked up such a
fuss Graman's face was considerably
disfigured from the bruises on it, but
Ravey is fairly certain that he is the
man who molested him.
The sheriff and his deputies are puz-
zled and feel certain that Miller's story.
even if it be true in it's main facts. is
deficient in many particulars. The state
ment that Graman entered the saloon
as stated and without warning attacked
a man with whom he had never had
trouble is unusual to say the least. They
figure that there must have been some
motive for the attempted murder of VAL
liant and that is what they are trying
to get at. They also argue that if
Fraley killed Graman with a chair. in
defense Of a friend. the most natural
thing would be for him to give himself
up. The fact that he has not given
himself up and that he cannot be found
suggests to the officers that there is
something about the whole affair that
the participants are trying to keep quiet.

Judge Clancy's court yesterday morning,
was acquitted by the jury last evening
after the twelve men had talked the mat
ter over among themselves for probably
ann hour and a half.
Ryan was one of three men concerned
in an attempt to sell a lot of cigars that
had been stolen from Henry Wolf,
dealer in that class OF goods, but it Is
strongly suspected that he did not then
know the transaction would lead to such
serious consequences. His two compan-
ions are each booked for a. yer in the
penitentlary for the part they took in
it, one having been tried and convicted
nd the other taking a year on a plea of
guilty. In appearance Ryan has the best
of the others, as he bears all of the insli-
cations of an honest, hardworking man.
He has wife and children. On the wit
ness stand he did not deny the part he
was accused of having taken in the

A murder was committed in John Nh
ler's saloon, in the Boulevard addition.
at about 2:s0 o'clock this morning. aul
Frank Graman or Grachm, an Austrian
miner, who was employed in the Never
Sweat, was the victim.
Christ Valiant, also an Austrian miner.
is lying on an improvised bed on the t!oor
of Miller's saloon with an ugly knife
wound in his abdomen as a result of the
row that led up to the killing of Gra-
man.
1t is almost impossible to get at The
facts of the tragedy. as all concern ID
are Austrians and will not talk. or If
they do their stories are Very conflicting.
1t seems to be a settled fact, however.
that Graman was killed by being hit on
the head with a chair welded by an
Austrian named Frank Fraley. who is
employed in the Bell mine. The sheriff $
officers have been searching for F'raley,
but up to a late hour this afternoon
had not succeeded in running him down.
Shortly after the killing, John Miller,
the proprietor of the saloon, told hack
morning he told different story to the
coroner. His story to the hackman was
in effect that Graman at about 2:30 this
morning entered the front door of the
saloon, and drawing a large pocket
knife. threatened to kill every person in
the place with it. There had been no
provocation for the threat, and Miller,
crIn
man to leave the place. He drove hun
out of the door and then went back Of
the bar.
In a moment Graman made his APP
pearance a the side door, the knife stli
grasped in his nand. He singled out
Valiant and drove him into a corner
and before any one could interfere hau
tabbedJ him in the abdomen
Fraley who was near by, caught up &
heavy chair and struck Graman over
the head with it. The latter fell to the
floor. and when it was seen that Valiant
was seriously hurt telephone message
was sent to DR.. Schwartz.
DIR Schwartz received the telephone
message al about $3.50 a m. and respond
ed at once although ne was not eager LOT
that class of work. When he arrived
at the saloon he found Granan lying
dead on the floor and Valiant suffering
from knife wound in the abdomen. He
made a hurried examination OF the
former and found that he had COM
pound fracture of the verteN OF the Skull,
the fracture extending clear across tina
left side of the head to the base OF the
skull There We're evidences that the
dead man had been struck number OF
blows and a chair that had been broken
to pieces gave silent evidence that 1t mad
been the instrument of death.

The men who had been observing their
actions telephoned the facts to Mr..
Clark's residence and from there the
sheriff was notified. The latter at once
drove in the direction of the race track
and found Mr.. and Mrs. Granting at the
Wayside house. He placed them under
arrest and locked them up in the county
Jail for the night. The furniture was
hauled into the city and taken to
Hawkes. livery stable.
Granting is we'll known in Butte and
at one time owned the largest barber
shop in the city. 1t is said that he con-
ducts a lodging house at the present
time. They do not denying taking the
furniture but will make no statement in
regard to it. A charge of burglary will
probably be placed against them.

The RAILROADS

Both of the railroads doing business
in Wallace. Idaho, have promised a new
depot this year. The same promise was
made year ago, but was not carried
out in either case. The Northern Pa
cities proposed depot will be a two-story
brick structure, the second story to BE-
used for storage and offices. while the
lower story will contain waiting, bas-
gage and agents rooms. 1t will occupy
the same site as the present depot, which
will be moved to the northeast and used
while the new building is being put up.
and later will become freight ware
house.
The o. r. s N. will satisfy itself with
an addition to it's present building. and
the plans for it are now i'm the hands
of the superintendent of bridges and
buildings, with orders to get the W )rk
done as soon as possible. The addition
will be the same width as the present
building-between 40 and SO feet in
length--on the lower end. At the same
time the depot siding will be moved AS
far as possible toward the river and the
platform widened. AS it is now, when
trains arrive there are so many people
on the platform that the employees are
interfered with in their work.
A car service association is to be
formed in Portland. Ore. to include all
the roads operating in the northwest.
A meeting or representatives of the ops
Grating departments of the several roads
is being held there today, at which
there is represented the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific. o. r. & NJ, Pacific
Coast company, Southern Pacific, Bur-
lington, Canadian Pacific and Union Pa.
cific.
The success of the associations work
will be of much value to shippers. The
purpose of the association is to arrange
for the interchange of cars at junction
points, exchange of business, rental OF
cars while used on foreign roads and
generally to expedite joint hauls and
the general transportation Of freight to
the mutual advantage of the companies
and necessarily to the benefit of ship
pers.
