TOWN MARSHAL OF LEWISTOWN
SHOOTS L. w. JOHNSON.
ALMOST A DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Victim Had His Gun Cooked and in
Another Second Woulca Have Land
ed the Other Man-Was Free With
Firearms and Had Threatened Neil
sons Life-A Saloon Brawl.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Great Falls, May IA stern command
to lay down a revolver, a hostile move-
ment on the part of the man receiving
the command, the sharp crack of re-
volver, and the tale of l.. w. Johnsons
life was told He sank to the floor be-
hind the bar of his saloon at Lewistown,
bleeding from a wound in the neck made
by revolver in the hands of Town Mar
shall Nelson, and when he was picked
up his own revolver was found at full
cock. Granted two seconds more lease
Of life, the tale might have been vastly
different.
Several different versions of the kill
ing which happened at II o'clock Monday
evening, We're received in this city last
night. The one told by Town Marshal
Thomas c. Nelson, which is given gen.
eral credence, shows that the killing was
not felonious, and this view of the case
was taken by the coroner's jury, which
met yesterday afternoon. l.. w. john
son, the man who was killed, came to
Lewistown from Hamilton county, Texas,
in 1856 For several years he had been
employed as cowbay but for some time
had conducted saloon.
When Johnson was sober he was peace
fully inclined, but in his cups he was
deemed a dangerous man. During the
first few months he had been arrested on
various occasions by the town marshal
and several times had threatened to kill
that official. When he met his end he
was under bonds to keep the peace ON
account Of having threatened Nelson's
life. x
The version Of the shooting given the
coroner's jury by Nelson, which was suf-
q - tod thnt
Unsuitable homicide was returned, was
that the marshal entered the saloon just
after Johnson had fired a shot from his
revolver while standing behind the bar.
johnson and his friends had been drink
ing freely all day ad the saloon keeper
was In an ugly mood. For that reason
| Nelson was on the alert and took nc
| chances of injury.
He ordered johnson to drop his revol-
yer, which the saloon keeper was holding
| on the counter With both hands. Instead
| of obeying, johnson turned the muzzle
| toward the marshal, who began firing
! The first bullet entered Johnson's neck or
| the right side, about one and one-hal1
inches above the collar bone, almost sew
| ering the carotid artery. The second Of
the two shots fired by Marshal Nelson
| missed it's mark and penetrated the low
err part of the mirror behind the bar.
Johnson slowly sank to the floor, speak
| ing only once before death, which re-
suited from loss of blood. His words were
I'm killed" Had the town marshal no
been so quick in firing he might have
been the one to utter the words, a:
Johnson's revolver was at full cock.
The shooting of Johnson is the last of
long series of deaths by violence which
have occurred in Fergus county within
| the last three years. !

VETERAN SOLDIER AND MINER
Old-timer of Bannack Who Had a
Grudge Against Dredge Boats
Found Dead in His Cabin.
Especial to Inter Mountain.


Dillon, May Fired Renner was
buried in Bannack yesterday, having
been found dead in his cabin two dHys
before. He was an old resident of that
section and was somewhat of an eccen
trio character. being considered by the
Bannack people as "nutty.' He hal
been ailing for quite long time pastt
He had been dead several days wne,S
found, and the remains We're in rathes
a bad condition. The coroners jury Gel
cided that death was due to natural
causes.
Renner had been a miner and pro,-
pector for a number of years past. but
did not make very much of sue
cess of it.
He had lived alone in a little cabin
near the head of the Grasshopper cans
yon. and would have nothing to do with
his neighbors When the dredge boats
were built. one of them dug away his
ditch. and after that he conceived Il per-
petual dislike to the machines. and inn
agined that every man who worked on
them was his sworn enemy. He was
generally known as "Nutch Fred was
a veteran of the civil war and about 81
years old.

notice by Superintendent Young. Cop
les We're also served upon Messrs. Kelly
and Paul by =. Il. Mcxeon, who made
a trip to the front for the purpose. The
order was wired to +. NJ. McNamee.
county attorney for Lincoln county and
associate counsel for the Short Line,
who is here in dual capacity. by Par
ley Williams, general attorney for that
company.
The notice reads as follows:
IAN injunction has just been procured
from the United States court at Car
son City against the Utah < California
company. the San Pedro company the
Empire Construction company, White
more. MaNson. Kelly and Paul, and all
people acting in connection with them.
restraining them from in any way in
terfering with or obstructing or pre-
venting the Utah. Nevada 4 California
company from proceeding with it's con-
struction of the railroad on all portions
of the grade between Uvada, Glover
Valley Junction and Phoebe. Make this
known to them at the earliest possible
moment and remind them that infor-
nation of the fact just communicated
to them will subject them to the penal
ties for contempt if they do not at once
obey the injunction that formal ser
vice Is not necessary before they are
bound by the injunction, when notified
of it's general terms. This was decided
by the supreme court of the United
States in the Debs case
Order Ignored.
Colonel MaNson refused to accept ser
vice. on the ground that the order
lacked official identity, and at once dis
patched a messenger to the front. or
dering Kelly and Paul to ignore the or
der. This means that if the United
States marshal does not arrive here in
a couple of days. the Short Line men
will have covered the distance with ties
and bridge timbers up to the Clark bar
ricades. beyond which point the Clark
people have declared they will not per-
nit them to pass. nor yield. except to
the United States authorities.
Both the Short Line and Clark people
have discharged number of their
guards. and others will no doubt be let
out soon.
Colonel c. D. Moore. the we'll known
railroad engineer has arrived here and
| will leave in the morning for the front
with a party of fifteen men, teams and
supplies to carry forward the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake sur
veyS.
General Superintendent Calvin has
made the run over the new road to
| Cresteline in his private car, this being
! the first passenger service over the eX-
| tension into Nevada.
1t was learned from Carson yesterday
| that June was the date fixed for the
hearing of the injunction case of the
| Oregon Short Line against the San Pc
| dro road.
| In the meantime the temporary in
| junction granted by Judge Hawley will
remain in force, and by June the Short
Line will have it's track completed tC
the end of the grade. 1t was predicted
! yesterday that the San Pedro company
would also go before Judge Hawley
and attempt to secure an injunction
restraining the Short Line until the CASE
| comes up in court.
The Oregon Short Line has filed
/ bond of $4,000 to indemnify the San Pc
dro company for any loss that it ma,
suffer by the laying of Short Line tract
on the grade.

CLARK WILL GO THE LIMIT
Battle of Injunctions Over Railroad
Right of Way-1t's Fight to
Finish. =

I-vada. Tvtah, May 1.-The railroad
muddle, which has been the absorbing
topic and given life and prominence to
this heretofore unimpOrtant little desert
station, appears to be fast nearing a
final solution, so far as the contest for
the old grade is concerned. The clark
people realize that they are up against
the real thing now. and are preparing
to yield gracefully to their successful
rivals so soon as the United States
marshal appears upon the ground with
the courts mandate. but until that
time they declare they WI hold every
inch of grade they are now in possess
sion Of, even at the risk of fight to
the finish at the strong hold they now
occupy.
