SHOT THROUGH ARM BY
MASKED HIGHWAYMAN
ONE OF The B0LDEST HOLD UPS OF THE SEASON OCCURRED
MEADERvILLE LAST NIGHT-SECURED LITTLE BOOTY.

James Mcdonald. engineer at Shaft
No. of the Boston & Montana, was
shot through the arm by masked high
waymen at ITO O'Clock this morning.
He was taken to the Boston 4 Montana
hospital, and the result of the wound
cannot be foretold as the arm is in very
bad shape,
The hold-up took place in the shaft
house. and was one of the boldest ana
most senseless that has occurred this
winter the robbers getting only a few
cents for their pains.
James Mcdonald, the engineer: Alex
ander Mcdonald. the shit boss, and two
helpers named Marion Bean and Oscar
Jameson. were working in the engine
room at the time mentioned when two
men. With the lower parts of their faces
covered with handkerchiefs, entered the
door. and, leveling revolvers on the four
workers. told them to stand with their
faces to the wall and hold their hands
up. The men did as they were bid, but
in doing SO Mr.. Mcdonald remarked that
he had no money. He was cursed for
his remarks and told to face the wall
While in this position the four men We're
searched by the robbers aud about 10
cents obtained. The robbers evidently
knowing that the men working N Shaft
NO. received their pay last Monday
were calculating on big haul, but as it
happened not one of the men had his
money With aim.
While the search was il Fl ogress Nc
Donald, without thinking, turned his
head and looked at the m 3n and one
of them. after cursing him :o4ndly, told
him to turn his head back to the wall
and keep it there or else he would bore
a hole in niln.''
Mcdonald, realizing that he had des-
perate characters to deal with. did not
make answer and started to comply
with the order. Before he hal fully
turned his head the robber discharged
his gun. the bullet from it passing
through his right arm and out of the
window.
After the shooting the two robbers
le.sureiy left the place and vanished in
the dark.

he had lost a large quantity of 4 ID
and the wound was SO badly infia1 ia
that no close examination could 1oe
made. 1t was evident that the buffet
had passed clear through the arm, and
the. doctor believes that it did not frac-

made he has formed the belief that the
bullet struck the bone, but glanced Off
without breaking it.
Mcdonald is resting easily this AFTER
noon and is being tenderiy cared for by
his wife and two children. He is about
50 years Of age, and is looked upon as
one of the best and steadiest engineers
in the employ of the company. which
Will probably offer some reward for the
arrest and conviction of the highway
men.
very good description of the man
who did the shooting was obtained, and
although the lower part of his face was
concealed by a handkerchief the police
have been enabled to recognize a man
whom they have had under surveillance.
A general description of the man is that
he is about 5 feet inches in height,
wore a dark drab suit. brown overcoat
and light hat. All day long the police
have been pulling the Migrants who
lnfest the city, and no suspicious char
acter may hope to escape. AT the noon
hour 20 arrests had been made and they
will be held for identification. The po-
lice intend to make war on the Migrants
and if they cannot force them to leave
the city they will have them sent to the
county Jail, and just as soon as their
terms expire they will be arrested again.
They intend to make it so hot for
Migrants and buns that Butte will in
the future be a most unhealthy place
for them. 1t is this class of people that
is generally responsible for robberies
and hold-ups.

ate maintenance of herself and their six
weeks-old child. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll
We're united in marriage in this city on
July "a, 1899, and, according to the COM

MATTERS IN
THE COURTS
WILLIAMS, THE ALABAMA MUIR
DERER, DOES NOT KNOW
WHERE HE STANDS.
HIS WIFE DEPARTED
FOR HER OLD HOME.
Articles of Incorporation of the Aetna
Banking & Trust Co.-Suit for
Divorce-Silver King Case.

Eldridge Williams, alias Douglas, who
is being held at the county Jail on
cl arge of having threatened to kill his
Wife and who is also wanted in Ala
bama on a charge of murder, committed
ten years ago, does not know exactly
where he stands. When ne first con-
fcssed the Alabama crime to the eX-
sheriff and the officers in Alabama We're
notified, it was supposed that the latter
would lose no time in coming to Butte
after him. hut it seems they did not want
him very bad. The governor Of Ala ALBANIA
refused to sanction a movement looking
to Williams return to that state, and
the sheriffs office here was notified, but
a few days later another message was
received to the effect that something
might transpire that would require the
presence Of Williams at the scene of his
old crime. If Williams is not returned
to that state the sailing here for him will
be easy, as his wife. the complaining wit
ness against him, has left the city, gone
no one knows where. She is alleged to
have started last Saturday night, telling
her landlady before her departure that
she intended to return to Alabama. The
three days preceding her departure
were spent with her husband in the Jail;
that is, she was there the larger part
of the time talking to him through the
lattice work of the bars. 1t is possible
that in the course Of the conversations
they reached an understanding in regard
to their future. Between the time of
his arrest and the time he confessed
to the Alabama murder she had papers
drawn up in suit for divorce against
him, using the name by which she was
known, that of Mrs. Douglass. but after
the confession she consulted her attor.
! ney again and it was decided to ex-
change the bogus name for the genuine
as it was thought that divorce obs
tanned under such circumstances might
not be legal. The proposed new papers

| tween him and liberty is habeas corpus

sprung within the next day or two.
