phenom, who finished the season
with the Washington club in the
American league, made a wonder
full record OF course, it is now
claimed that he was discovered by
ice Cantillion. but documentary
evidence would tend to show that
several managers in the Pacific
Northwest had good line on him
and that Washington was lucky in
getting on the ground with the
most substantial offer. Johnson
has a good financial head, but moth
ing has cropped UP in all the nego-
tiations prior to the time he actual
fy signed with Washington to indi-
cate double. dealing.
Johnson pitched IA games for
Washington. allowing 33 runs, or
to he technical. an average of 2.36
runs per game. He was hit safe
80 times, gave Is bases on balls,
and struck out GA. Taking the fig-
ures as they stand, he was the
most effective pitcher in the Ameri.

WILLIAM HINTON, RAILROAD
GRADER, MAY BE HELD
FOR MURDER.

A serious cutting affray took place
at what is known as Camp number
eight on the Billings Northern, near
Straw, in the early hours of last
Thursday. William Hinton is in the
county Jail awaiting the result of
wounds inflicted by him on Carry
Stunsan, woman with whom he was
living. The woman lies at the camp
with her throat gashed in several
places and from reports received in
this city has about an even chance of
recovery.
When seen at the county Jail her
assailant was quite voluble in telling
how the play came up, and from all
indications the quarrel was the out
come of jealousy. "She called me
vile Names" was the explanation
given by Hinton for knocking the
woman down. Then, it is claimed,
she took Hinton's pocket knife and
cut small cash in his arm. Wrench
ing the knife away Hinton cut her
throat in several places Both par
ticipants in the affair are colored.
