FAITHFUL DOG GUARDS BODY.

HELENA Mont Oct. 3.-What is
thought to have been cold-blooded
murder is reported from Big Fork.
Robert Gates, an old resident, started
from Big Fork last week to fish and
hunt. Nothing more was heard of him
until Sunday afternoon, when a man
who had been employed in scaling logs
on the river came upon the body near
Swan lake. A faithful dog was guard
ing him and he would not permit a
close inspection at first.
1t was found that he had been shot
twice through the body, the last shot
entering the left side near the heart
was lying upon the gravel bar upon
which ne had been fishing. Forty yards
distant an empty shell was found and,
as it did not fit his gun, it is supposed
to be one of the shells used in the
killing
1t is probable he was shot yesterday,
as a string OF hsh ne had was fresh
! when found. AS he was seventy feet
away from all brush and timber, all
thoughts Of his being taken for an
animal are put aside. He was in an
| open space and must nave been stand
| ing when shot
The tragedy is supposed to be the
result of a quarrel that he had with
| some person some time ago. The cor
oner is holding an inquest.

appearance from Washington city,
formally requested and advised Mr..
Coon to decline the nomination, which

i'm which the other candidates joined
given. Mr.. Coon made a dignified re-
ply. declining to consider the request
on the ground that his voluntary re-
tirement would be interpreted as
confession that the atrocious charges
were true. Since then there has been
no further communication between him
and the committee. He was not invited
to a conference of the candidates on
the republican state ticket, and of
asked to contribute to the expenses of
the campaign.
The state committee having no power
to take his name off the ticket. has con-
cluded to ignore and boycott him, and
use him to trade in the interest of the
candidates for governor and Legislature.
1t should be said that nearly every
one of Mr. Coon's old friends and as
sociates in Washington city, to whom
both parties have applied for Informal
ton and advice, have testified that they
are aware of nothing to mis- discredit;
that the infamous accusations against
him We're never proved and were never
believed but that his extraordinary be-
havior in refusing to deny them and
def them helpless to do anything in his
defense"

SIZES UP THE SITUATION
FAMOUS CORRESPONDENT Elk
PRESSES VIEWS ON POLITl-
CAL OUTLOOK.
William {. Curtis Says Coon Is a
Human Mystery-Other Candl-
dates Criticized.

In writing of the political conditions
in the state of Washington. William F..
Curtis. a representative of the Chisago
Record Herald, says:
j.. w. Goodwin. chairman of the
state democratic central committee, IN
a published interview conceded that
the republican electoral ticket will in
all probability carry the state by about
$1,000 majority, but predicted that
Turner would be elected governor OF
Washington by 10000 at the lowest es-
innate Our principal fight this year,
said Mr.. Goodwin, is to be on state is
sues. These come more nearly home
to the people who are vitality interest
ed in them. We will do wat We can,
however, for the national ticket
Martin J. Maloney, who is regarded
as the wise man of the democratic par
~ in Washington, agrees with Mr..
Goodwin, whom he is assisting to d.
rect the campaign, and says: We will
carry the state for Turner by ma Or-
ity of 10000. Four years ago We elect
ed Governor Rogers by a najority of
1900, although the state went for Ne
kinley by Il majority of $4,000. We
cannot expect to do as we'll with the
national ticket this year as with the
state ticket. \ great many democrats
who are admirers of Bryan don't like
the process by which he was elimina-
ted, and it is probable that Roosevelt
will carry the state
Coon a Human Mystery.
Charles Z. Coon. the republican can
didate for lieutenant governor is
human mystery, who has puzzled his
friends for many years. He obtained a
humble position in the treasury depart
ment at Washington when a mere boy
and by force of character, ability and
efficiency entirely without political in
fluence-Was promoted from place to
place until he became assistant secre-
tary under John Sherman; and the
traditions of the department are that
no man ever filled that position with
greater ability and satisfaction to the
government, congress or the public. He
was universally respected and admired.
No man has more devoted friends in
all parts of the country. for his official
duties have brought him into contact
with everybody who had public bust
ness in Washington.
Mr. Coon renowned his exalted po-
sition and influence in most myster-
ious manner one morning some years
ago and vanished from the national
capital. No explanation of his resigna-
ton or disappearance was ever made,
although sensational and incredible
stories concerning his private life We're
whispered from ear to ear. His friends
and their name was legion-refused
TO believe them and still refuse, but Mr..
Coon never took the trouble to make
denial and never uttered a word
in defense of his own reputation. He
voluntarily renowned his former life
and associations and cut off all COM
munication with devoted and intimate
friends as we'll as with his acquaint-
anceS. Few people knew what mad be-
come Of him. Gradually he passed out
of the thoughts of men, and the mys-
ten

ASYLUM BLOCK
MAY CAUSE SUIT
THE DISPUTE BETWEEN SUPER
INTENDENT HOLLOWAY AND
THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.

The matter of the concrete blocks for
Uses work for the lawyers. Briefly told,
the superintendent of Public Works in
ssts that concrete blocks of a strength
specifically named shall be used in the
construction of the building and on the
other hand the contractors, the Ameri-
an-Hawaiian Construction Company,
claims that they did not understand
such terms of the contract
I'VE do not want anything that is not
down in black and white" said Super
intendent Holloway this morning. II
am surprised that firm of standing
should put up such a claim as that at
issue. Concrete blocks of a certain
strength were required and no engineer
or contractor would imagine that hand
tamped blocks such as the present con-
tractors wish to put up in would fill
the bill. 1t is true that a machine to
make the proper kind of blocks will
have to be obtained and that such 4
machine will cost money, but that is
the concern of the parties who put in
the bids. We are not interested in any
particular machine any of the stand
ard ones will do, but the concrete
blocks must be of the specified
strength"
Attorney General Andrews stated this
morning that he had been consulted in
the matter and that there was no doubt
that the contractor could be held or
else forfeit the deposit.
