Dineen was figuring on getting little
more money into the cash register as re-
suit of his deals" Jerry Harrington, one
Of the players, looked up from his cards
and saw two men standing in the door with
nickel l-plated revolyers in their hands.
Samuel Eva and Ed Mitchell were the
other players and as Harrington threw
down his cards, the latter pair began TO
protest.

Mitchell
"Looky there" shouted Harrington, as
he picked up the card table and scattered
the checks and cards over the floor
The three men jumped as Harrington
raised the table and held il in front Of him
to ward off stray bullets.
The pair of robbers both turned for the
door as the table was raised and the
smaller Of the two men ran ont into the
street. The second robber covered the
quartet with his revolver and shouted

UNITED COPPER FOLK

Unable to Get Enough
After Recess and Ad-

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Helena. Feb. 23.-Soon after recess 1t
became known in the house this afternoon
that the train from the north was so late
that it could not arrive until after
o'clock.
Then began more jockeying for position,
the United Copper forces, finding them
selves in the minority, being especially
active.
1t was quickly decided by the United
Copper manager to break the quorum, so
when the house resumed this afternoon
only 80 members answered to their names.
1t takes 81 TO make a quorum.
MacGinniss and some of his friends
were the absentces though they were only
few feet distant from the door. Lack
ing the required number of members ts
do business, the house adjourned until
o'clock this evening.
At 2 80 o'clock Speaker White mounted
his platform and made the announcement
that reading OF the rules disclosed the
fact that a minority had not the power
to fix the time to which an adjournment
or recess shall be taken. Accordingly. he
ruled that the house stands in adjourn
ment until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The senate did not meet until 4
o'clock and then it took up routine busi-
ness.

fired a shot into the ceiling, and then
odd Man Pat turned loose.
Two shots were fired by the saloon
keeper and all OF the witnesses are posi-.
tive that the first shot landed in the body
of The larger man, who was in front. The
second shot is supposed to have flashed
by the target and ont OF the door, but
close search today failed 10 show any
bullet marks within the line OF aim.
The police are certain that Dineen put
one bullet into the desperate, and today
the surgeons OF the city are being can
vassed 10 ascertain il any one was treated
for a bullet wound
Dineen stood just inside OF the side en-.
precauiion while firing. The distance was
about 10 or 30 feet and both shots were
almost n dead aim.
Officer Barney NJ. Gillic is working on
the case and it rs understood that at least
one OF the men has been identified.
The description given BY Dineen and
the other men in the saloon indicates that
both OF the robbers were youths. One is
described as being about feet inches
and the other about feet b inches in
height, Both wore black masks and were
t9lerably well dressed.
In the cash register at the time was
something like $40 in bills and small
change, and between the four men there
VAS over $50. Dineens courage in re
iarnng the fire from the side entrance
etampeded the robbers and saved his Gus
toners from losing their cash.

VERY MUCH THE SAME
Bill Resembles in General

SPECIAL TO THE INTER NUN hiN'
Helena, Feb. aJ-Representative Con-
ner from the committee on ways and
means introduced in the house this morn
ing the general appropriation bill for the
executive and judicial departments of the
state government The committee occu-
pied the noon recess in preparing the gen
eral appropriation bill for the state institu-
tons and contingent expenses. This sec
ond measure may be introduced this after

The executive and judicial appropriation
bill carries $2I2.7so for the fiscal year
1903, and $sIs,rso for 1904. 1t cuts off
the second assistant attorney general, who
has been drawing 81 800, and reduces the
first assistant from $4,000 to 81 800 year.
1t also cuts off the stenographer for the
governor, who has been drawing $1,000,
and the clerk in the state auditors office,
the clerk OF the board of prison commits
sioners and the clerk OF the state board Of
pardons, each OF whom has been drawing

TO CUT OFF THE COL
LECTION OF MILEAGE

The feature OF the bill, however. is the
provision inserted in the bill to prevent
the state officers who carry railway passes
TO collect mileage for their travelling. 1t
is revolutionary provision in the state
and is destined to raise almost riot
under the dome OF the big statehouse.
Here is the provision:
Providing that non-allowance shall be
made and no part OF the money herein
appropriated shall be paid for lodging or
subsistence OF any of the state officers or
their employees, and providing futher that
no bill for travelling expenses from any
appropriation herein made shall be allowed
unless accompanied by the affidavit of the
claimant that each and every sum claimed
was by him actually and necessarily paid
for travel on official business and that no
charges made therein for travel on any
railroad or stage line over which the claim
ant had free transportation and 1t shall
be the duty Of each officer of the state
claiming mileage under this act to file with
the state auditor the number of every
annual or other pass by him held over any
transportation line before filing any claim
for travelling expenses.
In the appropriation for 1903 these
changes, in addition to those already men.
toned, are made from the law under
which the state has been working for two
years. The secretary of state is allowed
$45o extra clerk hire instead OF $3.50; the
salary of the assistant state treasurer is
increased from $500 TO $4,000 the state
treasurer is allowed $500 for office ex-
penses instead of 5000; the salary of the
assistant state auditor is increased from
$500 to $1,000; the Office and travelling
expenses of the attorney generals Office
arc increased from $3.50 to 5000; the sal
ary of the assistant superintendent of
public instruction is increased from $500
to $500; the state examiner is given

At Mrs. Bunting's feet lay Baby. MT. Bunting drove the pony: In the cart there were four boxes
 And pumpkin and a pail. Now, the Buntings all were heavy, And the little horse was bony, And he had a sad expression,
 And a short, frost bitten tail. The day was hot and dusty. Long and sandy was the road And they both were tender hearted
 And they worried all the time About the little pony And about his heavy load Then Mrs. Bunting had an idea,
 Full of woman's ready wit. She leaned around the pumpkin And reached down behind the churn,
 And woke the lazy Baby from his
 nap,
 As she said with rapt expression, As homeword they did turn, "It will make it so much lighter. dear
