tGANS STORY or THE SHOOTING.
Says tie Had Been RightfuIly Taking Meat
from kendaII's Boarding House.

| To the Editor OF the ARGUS.
Kendall, Mont, June 25.-I wish to
contradict the article published In
your paper OF June 18th: the article
Caught In the Act" Judging from
the tone Of the article it appears that
! was considered the party that had
been misappropriating canned goods,
meats and other supplies for the past
two months; that when caught in
the act" Mr.. Polly shouted and Ipaid
no attention, he Polly then shot at
random and then shot the second
time, and that the second shot hit
mo.
Now this is all a lie, for In the first
place Polly had not been proprietor
OF the boarding house two months,
hut Just a month at time OF shooting.
In the second place he did not give
my warning by shouting before
shooting. la the third place the first
shot hit ur md the second bullet
went about tbryo icct below the first
one Now | wRBt tu-ay aiew words.
Does II look llac had been mlaup-
pruprlating meat from this man
Polly when have been buying from
him what meat We needed ever since
lac hns been running the boarding
house? Just the day before this
shooting happened | bought oi Mir.
Polly about fifteen pounds Of mcut,
and for three months previous TO
Polly's taking charge Of the boarding
house had been getting what meat
lncedcd from this meat house through
Charley Allen, the foreman OF the
niue, and ~ different times he had
given me the privilege of going 10 the
meat house and getting what meat
wanted, and ! have done so many
times, informing Mr.. Allen that took
so much meat and paid for It, as
intended to do with Mr.. Polly.
Now, the evening | was shot VIII
linn Curray, William O'ConnOr, Me-
Clcllan, White. myself and two or
three other boys, whose names / do
not know, were over to thenew town
and were coming home, and as was
passing the meat house thought |
would step in and get "A piece OF liver
for breakfast and would have iniorm-
ed him the next day. as had done
before. opened the door and light
ed IA match and at once saw there
was no liver on the shelf, and just as
| was making II turn to go out there
were two shots fired as quick rs a
flash. The first shot hit me Ia the
right breast but would have struck
me In the left side had not turned
half way round to 20 out before he
shot. From where Istruck the match
he would have sure struck me in the
left side, which would have undoubt-
edly killed me. Now. II Mr.. Polly did
not intend to Kill anyone that went
into that meat house why did be 20
into the assay Office, where he could
not see who anyone was without
killing, iirst to see who it may have
been.
Now, how did you get the false in
formation which you published In
your paper oiJunc 18th, ~ Mr.. Polly
has sent me word that he Is sorry he
committed this net after finding out
that IL was me he had shot, as he
knew ! had bought meat from him
the evening before the shooting hap
pened. and he also said he never made
or had anything to do with that
statement you or any other paper
published; so where did you get your
false information? don't know.

Alderman Wright said that numer-
Gus complaints had been made to him
on the starting of saloon in the
Salvation army barracks, on the
grounds that it was not a fit place
for u saloon. because OF being where
the school children pass % aud fro four
times II day. The question was here
raised as TO whether the council
could prevent the placing of a saloon
In any part of the city. The city at
torney said that the location could
not be regulated under the present
ordinance. but the city could refuse
to grant a license when public inter-
ests needed IL. Clerk Chandler read IA
proposed ordinance on this matter
which set forth that no saloon should
be granted license OF Main street
without special permit from the
city. The mayor here stated that E.
G. Schneider. who wished to- open
the saloon in question, already had a
license. A motion was put before
the board and passed that the ordi-
nance committee investigate te the mat
ter and report before adjournment.
Alderman Wright reported IN behalf
of the committee and asked for ex.
tension Of time. Alderman Brassey
made n motion, which was passed

be complete failue. The fly working

Wheat sowed after November 1st looks
strong, with dark green color and if
II should escape the spring crop of fly
there may be light crop.
The past winter has been exceedingly
fine for feeding and stock has con-

worth more than the stock today.
Corn and hay was mostly fed and is

loonkeeper In Cleveland.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 10.-At the re-
quest of Secretary of War Root, both
the district attorney and the chief of
police have adopted n policy of keep
ing from the public as far as possible
all information concerning Leon Cool
gosz, the miserable creature down in
the dungeon of police headquarters
who shot President Mckinley. In TAX
ing this course Secretary Root seems
intuitively to have grasped the char
acter of the assassin and to have hit
upon the one thing that would cause
him the most chagrin. So far as can
be ascertained he is of n piece with
all the anarchist type of murderers.
His one overmastering trait is vanity.
He was hardly well within the pris-

In the balance.
Standing ia the midst Of crowds

every evidence of good will. pressed

showered with expressions of love and
loyalty, besieged by multitudes. oil
lager to clasp his hands-amid these
surroundings and with the ever re-
curing plaudits of an army of sight
seers ringing in his ears, the blow of
the assassin fell, and in an instant
pleasure gave way to pain, admira-
ton to agony, folly turned to fury
and pandemonium followed.
While President Mckinley was re-
ceiving in the Temple of Music yes
terday afternoon he was approached
by a man with dark moustache and
with one hand covered with hand
kerchief. As the man extended his
hand to the president, apparently with
the intention of shaking hands with
him, he fired a shot which entered
Che presidents right breast, lodging
against the breastbone. Another
shot was fired at once, which entered
the presidents abdomen. The assail-
ant was Immediately arrested. -
Detective Geary was near the
prisoner and the president fell into
his arms.
"Am shot?" asked the president.
The officer opened the presidents

There was an instant OF almost

multitude, only partially aware that

Bryan.s Dsnunclation of Anarchy.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 11.-william J.
Bryan telegraphed the Times as fol-
lows: Free governments may ibe
overthrow, but they cannot be re-
formed by those who violate the COM
mandment: Thou shalt not KILL
Under q government like ours every
wrong can be remedied by laws, and
the laws are in the hands of the peo-
pie themselves. Anarchy can neither
be excused nor tolerated here. The
man who proposes to- ght a public
wrong by taking the life of a human
being makes himself an outlaw and
cannot consistently appeal to the pro-
lection of the government which he
repudiates. He invites return to,
state of barbarism in which each one
must ut his own risk defend his own
rights and avenge his own wrongs.

TRAGEDY AT TOPEKA.
Eolah Hounsom, Who Lived Alone, Burned
TO Death in Her Home-Robbery
the Probable Motive.

Topeka. Kan, Sept. TAT an early
hour Friday morning Miss Eolah
Hounsom was burned to death in her
home on Kline, street. The body was
not rescued from the flames until it
had burned fully half an hour, and
when recovered was little more than
a charred mass of human flesh, and
absolutely unacceptable. Miss Houn-
som was SO years old, and lived alone
in q one-story frame building. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Murder
with robbery in view IS suspected by
the police as she was known to have
had some money.
