The copper Butte company has about five carloads of ore delivered at the river but cannot get across to the railroad till the high water recedes. In the meantime they will continue hauling ore down to the river. We learn from the miners that the ore they are hauling down from the mine will average about per cent. The superintendent is having the richer ore sacked at the mine and will ship it separately. The mine looks better than it did on the surface and is meet ing the expectations of the owners fully.-Florence Blade.

Clement C. Leigh Hanged.

| TAioOi iOSoIClHS OO ONCty iOSoi VOSh- nicallty known to the law to save his neck, and failing to get reprieve from Gov. Kibbey, Clement c. Leigh was hanged yesterday afternoon at two o'clock for the brutal murder of his mistress, Jennie Bauters, at Goldroad on the 3d day of September, 1905. Up to the last moment Leigh appeared to be unconcerned, but when the sheriff entered his cell to take him to the gallOws he collapsed As the door opened he said "I suppose you have come for me?" aud when the sheriff replied in the affirmative Leigh made brave struggle to maintain his nerve but his limbs refused to support him and he pitched forward on his face, his head striking against projection of the cell. After moment he open ed his eyes, but was unable to arise and the officers had to carry him to the scaffold. He had to be held up while the officers adjusted the rope around his neck and drew the black cap down over his face. While he was apparently conscious his collapse was so complete that he realized noth- ing that was going on. The trap was sprung at two o'clock and the body fell Imply through, death coming without struggle. After hanging thirty minutes the body was cut down.
 The crime for which c. c. Leigh was hanged was the killing of Jennie Bauters, woman of the half-world, at Goldroad. The man and woman had been living together and becoming tired of her paramour she told him that she would not support him fur ther and that he had better go away. Leigh apparently was jealous of the woman and entering her room on the morning of the third of September, 1905, he drove her out into the street, where he ruthlessly shot her down. Not content with emptying his gun into her body he reloaded it and de- liberately fired bullet through her head. After ascertaining that the woman was really dead he carefully selected spot on his own body and fired shot into it, and then laid down beside the form of the woman to await death. But the spot selected for the bullet was not fatal one and the man was soon taken away to jail and later convicted of the crime and sentenced to be hanged. He was model pris- oner, giving the officers no trouble during his incarceration.
 During the trial of the case in the court Leigh seemingly cared little for the outcome, but later he manifested some interest in the matter and agreed to all the efforts in his behalf.
 The body was taken in charge by the undertaken and will be buried here at the expense of the county.
