at Joanna and proved his faith
by putting up good Lard dollars
for same. He now believes in
a good gravel road from that
bridge to this city and instead
of putting up lot of hot air
has thrown $75 in sight as a
starter and his neighbors are
toting fair along the line and

shape with both feet and they

a focegone conclusion that

go at it in a practical manner
and get it.

CONF KILLING.
Minister Owns Up to Having Free
Shot That Killed Woman.

Terre Haute, Ind, Aug. 13.-Rev.
Charles Hill, a Congregational minis
ter, has confessed that he fired the
shot that killed Widow Smith at the
mining town of Benwood, Is years
ago. She was stepping out of the
door of a neighbours house when the
bullet struck her and she fell dead.
Three boys shooting at a mark,
some distance away, were arrested,
but the bullet that caused her death
was too large for their guns. The
widows son was under suspicion as,
it was said, he obtained considerable
property by the death of his mother.
The Rev. Hill says he was shooting
at a mark with a young nan named
VIM. TRACER, and that he fired the
fatal shot.

SHOT AT AGED MAN.
B~arricaded Himself in His House and
Made Attempt to Shoot When
Officer Went After Him.

Edmore, N. D., Aug. 13.-Joe Helke,
a blindpig keeper, was killed here last
night by Deputy Sheriff Hanson who
was attempting to serve a warrant
upon him.
About $3.50 o'clock Helke wantonly
shot at Carl Okelson, an inoffensive
man IS years of age, wounding him
seriously in the head, the ball strik-
ing him in, the cheek and lodging in
the back Of the brain.
A warrant was Immediately issued
for Helke, who retreated to his shack,
barred the entrance and announced
that he would kill any man who at
tempted to arrest him.
The warrant was issued by Justice
N. c. Lunde and given to Deputy Han
o for service, who at once went
to the shack and with another, man
asked for entrance under an assum-
ed name.
Helke opened the door and Hanson
said: Throw up your hands," Helke
slipped back and drew his gun from
his hip pocket when Hanson shot,
hitting him in the left side of his neck
and inficting a wound which resulted

HOLD No INSTITUTES.
State Superintendent Of Instruction
Makes Suggestion.

Wakes suggestion.
A circular letter mas been sent to
the different county superintendent
by the state superintendent in which
he advocates postponement of the reg
ular county institutes this year until
after the meeting OF the legislature,
as 1T is expected a change will be
made and if successful the law will
be amended SO as to provide for sum-
mer schools, a change recommended
by the state superintendent and 9TH
ers.
The contention of those in favor of
the change is that the money now ex-
pended for Institutes is not fruitful of
the results desired, as the institutes
do but little good to the teachers. If
they are given their way the state
will be divided into eight districts
in which summer schools are to be
held and the best educators in the
country are to be engaged to make
addresses to them and also give in
struction. g#
In his letter the state superintend-
ent says:
after giving due consideration to
the present plan of conducting insti-
tutes and realizing that a vast amount
of money is spent in connection with
each, and a limited amount of good
given to the teachers in return, and
in view of the complaints we have
received from many counties as to the
present methods employed, we have
decided that no institutes will be held
until after the meeting of the next
legislature.
I'VE earnestly ask that you con-
tinue to place the amount of money
collected from examination fees to
the credit of the institute fund.
I'VE hope the next legislature will
amend the present law in regard to
Institutes in such a way that the peo-
pie of the state may be amply repaid
for the money expended"

KILLED BY SWITCH ENGINE.
Three-Year-oId Daughter Of James
Mitchell Slept on Track.

ZIl.rAG r -. HH-EHa N-rzZa
Great Falls, Aug. 13.-Tha three
year-old daughter Of James Mitchell,
OF Stockett, was brought to this city
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock by a
special train from the coal camp, and
taken. to the Deaconess hospital. in
5ured SO badly that she. died three
hours later.
The little one was injured about
1880 p. M, the accident occurring two
miles this side Of stockett, a switch
engine running from Stockett catch
ing the babe and cutting one of her
legs off.
Previous to the accident the babe
and an elder sister had been playing
about nea the track, and the little
one became separated from her sis
ter and, crawling upon the track,
went to sleep, and was lying asleep
between the rails when struck by the
~cowcatcher of the engine, which. was
running about Is miles an hour.
Engineer D. F. Rambaugh saw the
little n just as she was struck, and
at once stopped the engine and went
to where the child lay. The left foot
had been cut off at the ankle, the
right arm broken, and about the hip
and body were other injuries.
Or. Anthony was at once summon
ed and a special was made up to con-
vey tie little one to this city, where
she arrived, accompanied by the grief
stricken mother and other relatives.
At the hospital everything possible
was done, but death soon came.

MRS. LoERPEER ADMITS MARRl-
AGE A FAILURE.
AFTER NINE YEARS. TRIAL
She Asks for Decree on Grounds Of
Non-Support and Habitual
Intemperance.

If the testimony she is prepared
to submit will substantiate the all.
legations contained in her complaint,
Mrs. Kate Loepeer will probably have
but little difficulty in convincing the
court that she is entitled to the re-
lief she asks and will get a decree di-
vercing her from Fred Loepeer. AS
charged by her, Fred has been any
thing but a dutiful and affectionate
husband, and it is small wonder that
she wants to get rid of him.
This morning she caused to be filed
the complaint in her action for legal
freedom from ties that have become
uncomfortable to her. She says she
and the defendant were intermarried
at DeerTLodge, this state, September
10, 1888, and that as a result of the
unionsthere is n minor child,
Maurice Loepeer, aged Z years.
For more than a year past and be-
fore the filing of the action she al
leges that the defendant has wholly
neglected and refused to provide her
and their minor child with the com
mon n~ecessaries of life and that be-
cause of such neglect and refusal she
has been compelled to support her.
self and child by working for others,
such work having consisted of wait
ing on the table at hotels and restau-
rants. But this is not the only charge
made against the undutiful Fred.
Continuing her statement Of griev-
ances and as a further of ac-
ton Mrs. Loepeef declares that for
more than a year prior to the insti-
tuition of the suit Loepeer has been
guilty of habitual intemperance, in
total disregard of his duty as a hus-
band, and that because of such habit
ual intemperance he has been dis
qualified for attending to his business
affairs, at least for a greater portion
of that time. While so intoxicated,
she also alleges, he has on several
occasions driven her from the house
and been cruel to- her.
Because of all this she prays the
court to grant her a decree of divorce
and the custody of the child, and such
general relief as the court may think
her entitled to, together with an or
der taxing the costs to the defendant.
