PAT DWYER, FORMERLY OF
GILT EDGE, IS MURDERER

Patsy Dwyer, who on Aug. 16, 1899,
shot and killed pan Handle Bob"
Thornton at Gilt Edge, and who was
found guilty of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to two and a half years in the
penitentiary, is once more in trouble
for shedding blood. On Wednesday he
shot and killed a man at Austin, Ne
vada, mista1ing his victim for another
party, and is now in Jail charged with
murder Dwyer kept a saloon at Gilt
Edge in 1899, and the killing of Thorn
ton, while presenting extenuating
features. was shown by the evidence
to have been wholly unnecessary.
Thornton, who was drunk, had prev
iously been disarmed by Dwyer, and
his revolver placed behind the bar.
Later on Thornton entered the place
with rifle and asked for his revolver.
Dwyer refused to give it to him, and
ordered Thornton to drop the rifle.
This was not done, and although
Thornton made no attempt to use the
weapon, and could easily have been
disarmed, Dwyer shot him down. On
Sept. 5, 1899, the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter, and
fixed the punishment as stated.
After serving short time, Dywer
was pardoned, and went to Great
Falls, going from there to Nevada.
The Associated Press dispatch gives
Fergus County argus., 1906-08-03

the following account of DIVERS lat.
est killing:
Tuesday afternoon Patsy Dwyer IA
gambler at Tonopah, and Jack O'Brien
a bartender from Manhattan. had a
quarrel in saloon here and when they
parted there was an understanding
when they next met, they would meet
shooting. About o'clock, Dwyer went
TO the redlight district loking for o.
Brien, and not finding him he started
Tor town. On turning corner near
the International hotel, he saw Albert
Williams, conductor on the Nevada
Central road and County Recorder
II. w. Dyer, standing together, and
in the moonlight he mistook Williams
for O Brien and Dyer for Louis Wool
cock, OBrien's partner Without
word DWyer fired three shots, one
bullet entering Williams brain and
killed him.
'One bullet struck Dyer in the leg
between the ankle and the knee, break
ing both bones. Dwyer was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Oliver. but being
intoxicated did not realize the enor-
nifty of the crime. This morning Dwyer
was taken to Dyer's home and was in
identified, and later on was taken to
view the remains of Williams. Think
ing up to the time that he saw the re-
mains, that he had killed OBrien,
Dwyer collapsed"

GRAVITY WATER
SYSTEM BIDS IN
lnree Local Cont actors Place Proposals Before the
City Council--N j. Littlejohn's Bid Is the Low.
est--A1l Are Well Under the Limit.

The council met in special session
Wednesday evening to receive bids
for the construction of the gravity wa.
ter works system, Mayor Pinkley pre-.
siding and all of the aldermen except
Smith being present. There was an
unusually large gallery, and the brief
proceedings were watched with inter.
est.
Three Bids In.
Three bids were received, all from
local men, and they were remarkable
close together in their figures. N. ].
Littlejohn offered to build the sys-
tenn in conformance with the specif1-
cations Of the city engineer, and COM
plete the work by Nov. for $27,59O.
A certified check for $4,000 accom-
panied the bid.
John Ellison's bid was $2S,4SO, and
was accompanied by a check for s3,-
500.
F. F. Goss bid was $2S,9S9,63, and
was accompanied by check for So
500.
sIoan's Inquiry.
AS soon as Clerk Smith had read the
bids, Alderman Sloan took the floor
and wanted to know where the water
to be conveyed by the proposed system
was to be obtained, and how much
there was of it.
City Engineer Wasmansdorff replied
that it was from the upper spring, and
in answer to another inquiry from AL
derman Sloan, stated that the flow
had been estimated, but not measur.
ed.
Alderman Sloan: l visited the up
per spring yesterday, and in my judg-
ment there is not over 100 inches of
water there. Now l don't think the
city should 60 to this expense to OBJ
tain 100 inches of water. don't
think the members of the council know
where the water is to be obtained
from. Two of them, at least, under
stood it was from the Big Spring, and
not what Is known as the upper spring.
Further discussion brought out the
fact that some of the members were
not familiar with the names given to
the springs.

WOOL BUYING IS v
ABOUT AT AMEND
Nearly All the Clips Disposed OF Wednesday, Prices
Show Falling Observation-Disclosures Com =
pares Favorably With Others in This State

The local wool market practically
came to an end Wednesday, when all
of the outstanding clips except three
including that of the Basin Livestock
company were cleaned up. Prices
ranged lower than usual, a condition
that was anticipated by the growers,
as the market has shown tendency
to sag with the approach of the end
of the buying season. The sales here
will aggregate about 100000 pounds,
and the average price will figure out
close to 3 cents below the average of
last year. This, of course, does not
include those clips sold under contract
last spring, and for which. it is safe
to say, an average price of 25 cents
was received. AS compared with 9th
er markets, Great Falls, Havre, Fort
Benton. Billings and Miles City, prices
here have been quite satisfactory, and
there has been much less consigning
than elsewhere. At Havre, practical
ly all the wool received remains un-
disposed of, and it may all be consign-
ed.
How Prices Ranged.
j. M. Croft rejected Patterson's high
bid OF 171a cents for his clip and Will
consign it.. This is over 5h cents
lower than the price paid Mr.. Croft
last year, while the wool is of much
better quality. and Mr.. Croft consider
ed the drop little too steep for him.
Zeno Balm also declined Stressenger's
high bid of 1873 cents, and will con-
sign.
The Buffalo Sheep companys clip
was sold at 20-3-4 cents, Mr.. White
deciding to take this rather than con-
sign. Had this clip been on the mar.
ket earlier it would probably have
a higher figure, as it is
one of the crack clips of the county.
Last season, Mr.. White received 24-1-8
for the clip.
