sion. There was a scramble and alterca-

intention to kidnap young Chase or keep
him in concealment so as to prevent his

lawyers Of using force and fraud to prevent
them from talking with young Chase Judge

6imms took up the dispute.
Mr.. Kumler reiterated his charge OF
fraud, and Simms retaliated by knocking
Kumler down. The blow was a hard one on
the jaw and dazed the Duhme attorney.

called to quell the disturbance.
Judge De Hart promptly fined Mr.. Simms
SIS for contempt OF court, but later remit

Is Killed While Crossing Small
Bridge West Of Troy.
His FIRST RUN THE FATAL ONE
He Fad Just Been Set Up as Engi-
neer and Was Making His First
Trip-His Body Supposed to Have
Eeen Carried Off .y tine Waters
Of the kootenai.

Tom Murphy, we'll known railroad
engineer of this city, was killed while
crossing the Lake creek bridge, near
Troy, Wednesday afternoon. While
crossing the bridge, it is thought he
leaned too far out of the cab win
dow, and struck his head against the
side of the bridge and was knocked
out of the window, falling into the
creek. No on saw the accident,
a1d the exact circumstances will
never be known. His fireman missed
him after tha train had gone some
distance beyond the bridge, and the
train was run back in hopes of find
ing him. No trace was found until
the bridge was reached, when his cap
was picked up, and further search re
vealed blood stains on the bridge tim
ber where it is supposed he struck
his head. From the spot where the
accident occurred to where the creek
amDties into the Kootenai river is but
q short distance and it is supposed
that the unfortunate mans body has
been carried to the waters OF that
str am. A close search has been
maintained here since the accident,
but no trace of his body has yet been
found
Murphy was we'll known in this
city, having been employed on til
Great Northern for some time. This
was his first trip as engineer out Of
this city. he having previously been
employed as fireman, although he
has at different times been in charge
of a locomotive on the Jennings
branch. He was about 80 years of age
and as far as known his only rela-
tive is a sister living in st. Louis
The deceased was well liked by all
his associates, who deplore his death
at just the time when he had received
a well deserved promotion.

WILL BE TRIED IN SPOKANE.
Washington Officer Here For Bum
Check Artist

Sheriff DepeW Of Spokane is in Kal-
ispell, to take charge of Dunn, the
man who attempted to pass forged
checks in this city several weeks ago.
Before coming here, Dunn succeeded
in passing several bad checks on
Spokane people, securing a consider
able amount. He afterward tried to
work the same game here, but was
arrested by CHIEF Johnson. When
searched, several blank checks of a
Spokane bank in his possession, and
this led to an investigation, which
resulted in the Spokane officer COM
ing here. The necessary requisition
papers have been secured and Sheriff
Depew will leave with his prisoner
for Spokane tonight. The officers
here have enough evidence against
Dunn to convict him, in case he was
tried in the local court, but to do so
would necessitate several witnesses
coming from Spokane, and as this
would entail considerable expense, it
was thought best to let him be tried
before Spokane court, especially as
there is clear case against him.

BAND CONCERT
Well Attended and Greatly Appre-
ciated by Audience.

Last night the Kalispell City band
was well repaid for their open air
concert by having a large and appre
ciative audience. Every one was
there with a kerchief in one hand,
and a branch of green leaves in the
other, and men, women and little
children fought the mosquitOs-in
vain-there were millions of them,
and the little pests created little
miseries for every one.
The selections by the band were
excellent, some very fine classical
pieces were rendered, being inter-
spersed with a few rag times.
A trick bicyclist, who was great
favorite in Butte two years ago, and
known as "Rube", created no end of
amusement for the little ones and
the big ones, too, for that matter. He
performs all kinds of antics and diff
ficult feats, which are truly marvel.

o'clock this afternoon, after being
or% q hours. No demonstration,
whatever was manifested when the
verdict was read. The defendant
showed no sign of emotion when she

weeks, as there are numerous crimi-
nal and civil cases to be tried The
jury will probably be called for July
13, so as to allow the sheriff's officers
time to summon the witna sses and
jurymen. The most important Grim
inal cases will be those of Ching One,
his employer with an axe. and George
O'Brien. the ReXford murderer. These
cases viii come up early III the term,
and as tn verdict of murder in the
first degree in either case will mean
hanging, public interest has been
keenly awaited. Other cases to be
tried are James Waugh, accused of
horse st aling. Joe Ffacass, assault
in the first degree. J. c. Thompson
and w. L. Carlow, grand larceny, and
William Davis and John Black, rob
