The first aid'' movement has re-
ceived much encouragement from Gov
ernors and other state officers, to whom
it has been necessary to appeal in con-
nection with the plan to make the am
bulance brigade useful in time of war.
1t is Miss Barton's idea that these
brigades shall, if invited by the state
Governors, become incorporated with
the state militias to form the ambu-
lance division of the regiments. The
truth is that in spite of Islander and
opposition, the work of the Red Cross
during the past year has been more
important and successful than ever be-
fore, except in times of war; pesti-
lence or famine, when it has had ac-
tive relief duties on it's hands. It's
membership has grown in most
gratifying way. 1t is Miss Barton's
hope that in the near future the He'd
Cross may be able to secure a regular
establishment and home, probably in
Washington. If this hope can be real
i2ed building will be erected, or ex-
ecutive offices win be leased which will
contain permanent organization for
administering relief work. If funds
are obtained, as expected, the organ
iZation will keep always on hand
sum sufficient to begin relief cam
paigns at moments notice, without
waiting for donations. In connection
with this plan. letters have been sent
out generally, inviting people to be-
come members of the organization. It
is no new thing for dissentions to arise
in such bodies: indeed. it would be
much more rare If all went smoothly.
where many aspiring souls long for the
loaves and fishes, and for the honors
earned by a lifetime of earnest work
on the part Of its president.

BATTLE IN WYOMING
THIRTY RIFLE SHOTS ExcHANG.
ED-oNE TOOK EFFECT.
One of the Men Who Started Trouble
May Die Other IS under
Arrest.

Red Lodge, April 2S.-News of {
serious shooting ARRAY comes to Rec
Lodge from ear Meeteetse, Wyo. L
appears that trouble arose between
George T. Beck and The Mccoy broth
ers, Archie and John, ABOUT a cattle
deal. Moreover, this trouble only
served to accentuate the bitterness
already existing as the result of
long standing feud.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening
the Mccoy brother went to the Beck
home and called Beck out of the
house. At once they saluted him
with threatening language, and then
opened fire in the darkness.
Beck was speedily reinforced by J.
M. and johnnie Baldwin, who were
attracted to the scene by the opening
fusilade. They opened fire at once,
and the succeeding interchange OF
shots would have done credit to a
Kentucky feud meeting. At least 81
bullets sped back and forth.
A summary of the casualties of bat
tie revealed the fact that only one of
the attacking party was injured. John
Mccoy had to be carried home with a
bullet in his thigh and he is reported
in a serious condition with a slim
prospect of recovery.
Archie Mccoy has been arrested on
complaint of J. M. Baldwin and ac-
cused of assault with intent to COM
init murder. He has been bound over
to the district court.

CLAIMS RIGHT TO SILENCE
ROY JONES DECLINES TO TEST.
~ BEFORE CORONER.
What People Who Were Present
When Evan Harris Fell
Have to Say.

Helena, April 28.-When Roy Jones,
brought from Butte under arrest yes.
terday by Deputy Sheriff Mccain, sus.
pected of having struck the blow
that resulted in the death of Evan
Harris last Sunday morning, was call
ed to testify before the coroner's jury
holding an inquest into the death OF
MI. Harris, he refused to testify,
| claiming the right OF a man under ar
rest to consult an attorney.
Prior to this, B. F. Timmons, A. 3.
Salvail and Edward Gokey testified,
and after Jones' refusal to go on the
stand, Harley Tlmmons was called.
The testimony OF the Timmons boys
was most important, they naving been
in company with Jones and Moore at
the time the former is alleged to have
struck Harris.
Their testimony was to the effect
that they, Jones and Moore, we're
walking down Main street, and that

the street. Harris was on the other
side of the street, and came across,
evidently under the impression that
the young men were calling to him.
Several remarks were made, and Har-
ris made passes at different ones in
the crowd, but all stepped away, and
Harris started up the street, but NOV
ed only five or six feet when he stop
ped.
At that time it was that Salvail and
Gokey came along. More remarKs
were made, and again several passes,
when Jones struck Harris and the lat
ter fell. striking his head on the side
walk. Then the Timmons boys and
Jones and Moore moved on down the
street.
Harley Timmons stated that he saw
Jones Sunday afternoon, but that the
latter made no reference to the &C.
c%urrence of the night before. The
witness was Of the opinion that Jones
did not have his fist doubled up when
he struck Harris. He stated that Har-
ris had evidently been drinking, but
was not grossly intoxicated.
Salvail was of the opinion that Har-
ris stumbled and fe.- in evading the
blow, and Timmons thought he was
half knocked and half fell down. The
latter was about Is feet away and
Salvail further.
Afterward. as Jones, in company
with the three others, continued down
the street, Jones said that ne was
sorry that he had struck Harris.
Jones, according to the testimony OF
TimmOnS. was about as much
under the influence of liquor as Har-
ris.
Raymond Moore, when called to the
witness stand, testified that at the
time the encounter took place between
Jones and Harris, he was across the
talking to some members OF
the Overland minstrels, and had his
back to the other group, and when
he turned about he saw Harris lying
the sidewalk.

came to his death from a cause un-
known.
The body was given burial by the

Thebes, ILL.,, April $3.50 far as
known no lives we're lost in the fight
over the lynching last night near
Santa Fe, although several negroes
were wounded. They have fled. All
is quiet so far today. At midnight
there was an attempt on the part OF
the negroes to return to the city, but
they were driven back by the whites,
who opened fire on them. Several
whites had narrow escapes from
death. The city will be guarded by
an extra police force several days.

the best piece of architecture in Mon

The building was desisuei especial

the completion of the building, but
he has been entertained there. When
President Roosevelt was in Helena

elected vice president, he was the
guest of the club after he spoke at the
Auditorium. Within a short time it

only a few weeks ago Admiral Schley
