A Human Fiend SIashes the Features
of a Courtesan.
AND MAKES GOOD HIS ESCAPE.
The Woman Will LiVe-Marked for
Life in a Dozen Different Places by
the DeviIish Malice of Her Brutal
AssaiIant of Yesterday-Not Yet
Apprehended.

Butte, Mont, July 1.-THE human
fiend who welded a razor with disas-
trous results on a butterfly of the
half world yesterday morning, is still
at large. Detectives Murphy and Nc
Gill have been since yesterday trying
to learn the whereabouts of the fugi-
tive, but he vanished from sight and
is believed to be out of the city.
DR.. H. M. Hall, who dressed the
wounds of the injured woman, be-
lieves that she will live. Fortunately
the weapon did not cut sufficiently
deep to cause any great loss of blood
Two strokes made by the assailant
would have been fatal, had they gone
farther, one was on the left wrist
which narrowly escaped severing the
artery and the other is on the neck
and would have reached the jugular
had the blade gone half an inch
deeper AS it was, the woman will
look like survivor of German due
tournament, she will be marked for
life in q dozen different places.

Anderson Fires Three Shots Into a
Spokane Hotel Man.
WITHOUT APPARENT REASON
Thought the Hotel Man Was Con-
ceaIing His Wife About the Prem
ises-Anderson's Wife Had Fled
For Her Life From Her Own
Home.

Spokane, July 17.-Without warn
ing or apparent provocation, Gust An
derson, street railway employe, to-
night fired three shots into Edward
Fagerstone, one of the proprietors of
the Western house. Fagerstone died
instantly. Both men were delegated
to the republican county convention
tomorrow. Anderson had been drink
ing and abusing his wife. She had
fled for her life and Anderson was la
boring under the notion that Eager
stone had concealed her, though Mrs.
Anderson and friends of the muir
dered man say Fagerstone and Mrs.
Anderson We're not even acquainted.
After committing the crime, Ander-
son fled to another hotel, and when
the police entered the room the hom-
lclde tried to fire upon them. He
was taken fighting desperately, to
the city Jail.

from their place of Imprisonment
during the darkest hours of the morn
ing.
Seattle, July ia special to the
Post-Intelligencer from Auburn, says
Sheriff Cudihee is undoubtedly on a
still hunt after Convict Tracy, ac-
companied, perhaps, by one or two
trusted lieutenants. Almost every
effort has been exhausted to ascer-
tain the sheriff's whereabouts Cudi-
hee, however, has proved himself
Tracy's equal in the matter of sud-
den disappearance, and neither the
newspaper men nor the remaining
members of the old posses have so
far been able to locate him. Depu-
ties are securing the forests around
Ravensdale, Palmer and Covington,
but they are unable to find the place
of his unexpected exit.
The general belief is that Cudihee
is somewhere on the Palmer cutoff.
Unless he walked through the woods
or drove in buggy along unfre-
quented roads, he has not left that
region.
Many people in this vicinity fear
that Tracy may be doubling back on
his tracks for the White river or
Green river valley. If he chooses to
| follow that course he will encounter
few obstacles. The roads are prac-
tically without guards, with only one
or two exceptions. The Indians on
the Muckleshoot Indian reservation
are frightened lest Tracy return, and
from them he would meet with no
opposition.
John burlington reports that he
discovered some bloody rags in an
old shack one mile west of here yes
terday. Nearby were the ashes of a
camp fire. He says the rags look as
if they had been used in dressing
wounds. A little later two railroad
men saw a mysterious man carrying
a gun, and hiding behind trees, in
the same section. There are no dep
uties in town.

Mr.. Villins that he was there, but he
has probably left and as to his fur
ther movements Mr.. Villins declines
to say.
It may be that the man who has
been doing the work is the same who
enticed a homeseeker from the train
east of Spokane, three weeks ago,
and the following day the homeseek-
er's body was found near the track
with his pockets rifled of about
$4,000. While there is no direct evil
dence that he is the same fellow, if
he is caught there may be more than
simple robbery or forgery charged
against him.
In speaking of the methods of the
operator, Mr.. Villins says it is long
time since his Office has had man
with as new a scheme as the case on
which he is working.

A Miles City Degenerate Is Held for
Criminal Assault
COMMITTED ON LITTLE GIRLS.
A Baby of Six Years Appears in
Court in Evidence of His British
Passion, and So Dumfounds the
Criminals Lawyer That He Makes
No Attempt at Defense.

Miles City, Mont, July III. H.
Mitchell was arraigned today in Mag
istrate Kinney's court on the charge
of criminal assault, his crime being
committed on the persons of little
girls, ranging from six to IL years
of age. Only one of the little ones, a
tot of about 6 years, was examined
and her testimony was so decisive
that Attorney George w. Farr, for
the defense, did not cross-examine
her. But put the defendant on the
stand, being satisfied that although
the plea of not guilty had been en-
tered, it would be useless to attempt
to fight against the case entering the
district court. Mitchell accordingly
was held in $3.50 bail for his appear
ance. Bail not appearing he was re-
manded to Jail.

the convict who escaped from the
Oregon penitentiary on June 8 with
Harry Tracy.
According to the story which Tracy
told on July 2, while on his way to
Seattle in a launch, he killed his part
said they quarreled, and finally de-
clued to settle the matter by fighting
a duel. They were to walk 10 PAGES
and then fire. The wound in Merrill's
back would indicate that Tracy fired
while Merrill's back was turned.
Mrs. Wagner, who found the body
in the woods, left for Salem with the
body tonight, and will claim the re-
ward of $2,50O, which was offered by
tie state for Merrill, dead or alive.
The inquest over the body of Mer-
rill has developed the fact that he
had served terms in the Montana
penitentiary at Deer Lodge, one term
under the name of McTague, and the
other under the name of Carroll.
Information is needed from Deer
Lodge as to four false front teeth
Merrill wore, which the Oregon peni-
tentiary officials failed to discover
when examining him. Convicts have
since told the warden there that Mer-
rill had false teeth, and this fact was
telegraphed to the coroner at Che
halls this morning,

To Sympathetic Strike of the Coal
Workers.
HE PREFERS SUBSTANTIAL AID
In the Form of an Assessed Fund to
Keep the Anthracite Strikers From
Suffering During the Continuance
of Their War Against Coal Barons.
indianapolis, Ind, July 17.-If the

voice and influence of President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
shall prevail with the members of
his organization, there will be no
general strike. The chances of such
step being taken are now very re-
mote. In his speech in the conven-
tion this afternoon, Mr.. Mitchell ad-
vised strongly against a strike and
urged that the bituminous miners
continue at work and that a system
of assessment upon the members of
the order which he outlined be car
ried into effect, as the best means
of affording aid and support to the
striking anthracite men in the east.

A NICE HOSPITAL.

I'VE have in our town." said a gen.
tleman from Kalispell, yesterday,
something that we are all proud of,
and that is our hospital" And the
speaker went on to tell of the success
it had become under the present man
agement. A hospital was not known
in that city until eight years ago,
when a Mrs. Webber came to the
town and interested the people in
the ambition of her life. At first, this
brave woman was unable to accom-
plish much, but at last she got peo-
pie into the scheme, and a modest
building was erected.

Salem, Ore, July 1.-THE remains
of David Merrill, escaped convict and
murderer were received at the Ore
gon penitentiary at noon today, but
were brought here by Mrs. Mary
Wagner, who found the body near
stated that he would ignore any de-
mand for the reward, but would pay
her literally for the trouble of bring
ing the remains here. This after
noon Mrs. Wagner made formal
demand for the reward of 81 800. Lee
declined to pay the same, offering
her $500 for trouble and expenses,
explaining that the reward would
only be paid for the capture of the
convict, and that she had not cap
tured Merrill, but had merely found
the dead body by accident. Mrs.
Wagner refused the amount offered
and made a formal written demand
for the full reward. Meanwhile, she
will correspond with the governor
and lay her claim before him. Should
the claim not be paid, she will decide
whether to go into court to collect the
1900 or go before the legislature to
secure it.

Seattle, Wash, July IA special
from Rakensdale, Wash, says, Sher-
iff Cudihee has either been made the
victim of Harry Tracy's confederates
or else has again failed to encompass
the outlaws death or capture. Grant
ing that the information upon which
he acted this morning was correct,
in the former case he has been made
the victim of one of the most deliber-
ate attempts at imposition which
could be perpetrated upon public
officer, and there are those in this
vicinity tonight familiar with the sit
lief. On the other hand, there exists
many circumstances tending to show
that the sheriff again had the outlaw
located for the fourth time, and
failed to land his quarry owing to a
combination of unfortunate circum-
stances, which have pursued him
since Tracy first invited capture in
the VanHorn house.
Seattle, Wash, July 1z,-Harry
Tracy was at 10 o'clock this morning
reported to have been found and the
story of his death was expected al
any moment. Sheriff Cudihee located
the desperate in a lonely cabin three
quarters of a mile from the junction
of the Northern Pacific Palmer cut
off and the Columbia & Puget Sound
road. He was supposed to be there
with two companions. Cudihee, with
six guards, waited until 10 o'clock
this morning for Tracy or either Of
his companions to come from the
cabin. Growing impatient, the sheriff
ordered an attack upon the place, anC
the guards closed in, firing as the!
advanced. Not a sound came from
the cabin, and when Cudihee eau
tiously pushed in the door he found
the place empty. There were evi
dences that the house had been in
habited very recently, and it is nov
believed that the outlaw and his des
perate companions crept one by one

HE SHOT TO KILL.
But the Weapon Was Loaded With
Wronq Fonts.

But the Weapon Was Loaded With
Wrong Fonts.
Miles City, July IA fortunate
mistake by a clerk in a hardware
store this afternoon was all that
saved Sergeant Pinkerton Turner of
the Twenty-first infantry from being
the perpetrator of as cold blooded a
murder for slight provocation as
ever occurred. Turner and a man
named Morris Allen got into a fight
and Allen whipped the sergeant.
Turner then marshaled a couple of
assistants among the soldiers and
gave Allen a sound pounding, but
did not injure him seriously. Later,
Allen was in saloon, when Turner
suddenly appeared on the scene and
started a row. He drew a revolver
on Allen and snapped it five times.
The only thing that prevented the
murder was the fact that Joseph
Myers, of ]. s. Truscott's store, who
sold Turner the gun just before the
attempted assassination, made the
mistake of giving him rim fire cart
ridges, while the revolver was a cen
ter fire weapon.

VlCTiMIZED HOMESEEKERS.
A Smooth Confidence Man Has Been
Operating on Great Northern.

A Smooth Confidence Man Has Been
Operating on Great Northern.
w. A. Vallins, superintendent of
the st. Paul Office of the Pinkerton
National Detective agency, is in
Great Falls looking about for as
smooth a confidence man as has Wis
tied this part of the country in many
day
He has been engaged in working
homeseeker trains along the line of
the Great Northern with a new graft
to the detectives and has not lost
any money by it. Mr. Villins is
working in the interest of the Bank
ers association, and everything
points to his being pretty close on the
trail of the right man. 1t is believed
by Mr.. Villins that the fellow has
cleaned up thousands of dollars by
his operations during the time the
homeseeker trains have been in oper-
ton, and it may be that he is a mur-
derer.
Getting on the train at some point
in North Dakota, the confidence man
soon found pretense for getting ac-
quainted" with prosperous looking
man on board who was bound for
the west to take up new land.
During the day he made it a point
to find out from where the home
seeker came and the bank he did
business with in his home town. Usu-
ally he accompanied the homeseeker
as far as Kalispell, or Spokane in
some instances, and in each of these
cities accomplished his purpose and
worked the banks.
AS soon as he received the neces-
sary information from the home
seeker he would get off the train at
one or the other of these points and
go to the telegraph Office, where he
would send a telegram reading like
this:
