BIJO's NEW BILL.
Pleased Large Audiences Last Night
Well Worth Seeing.

Considering the weather last even
ing there was an unusually good at
tendance at the Bio theater, and the
performance given at that place of
amusement well repaid those who
faced the heavy snow storm to see
the change of program.
The feature film last evening was
Poeahontas. Child of the Forest. .
This deals with an eyentful epoch in
our nations history, and is one that
will give a person good idea of
the conditions that existed in this
country several hundred years ago.
To the child studying history, this
scene should not be overlooked.
There was an extremely amusing
film, entitled "A Diabolical Pickpock-
ct This does not in any way deal
with the exploits of Irene Duff, who
has been operating in this district for
the last few days. Here we have a
fellow who steals a woman's pocket
book, she notifies the police. and
they start chase after the light fin
gered artist. but every time they are
about to lay hands on him, he van
ishes in most mysterious and anus
ing manner. Those who do care &c
laugh had better not stay to see this
finn.
The show presents several other
films of unusual merit. The songs

the channel of the Humboldt river for
a distance of about 1000 feet. A

PRELIMINARY
Alleged Slayer Of II. W. Maha.

District Court.

Elmer Hinton, who has been con-
fined in the county Jail at Lewis
town since November 11th charged
with the murder Of H. w. Mahaney,
who was killed here on the evening
Of November 7th, was brought down
from the county seat Monday even
ing for preliminary hearing. On
account of the absence of Justice Of
Peace Cook the hearing had to be
postponed until Tuesday evening,
to allow for the arrival Of Justice Of
the Peace r. G.. Shell Of Garneil
to conduct the hearing. The hear
ing was held Immediately following
the arrival Of Mr.. Shield on the
Tuesday evening passenger.
-Four witnesses were examened,
Elmer Testerman, A. E. Peterson,
w. NJ. Koontz and A. NJ. Donnelly.
The testimony deduced at the hear
ing was substantially the same as
stated in The Record Of last week.
The testimony Of Donnelly at whose
ranch Hinton had been the day
the day after homicide, was tu the
effect that the defendant came there
Sunday evening and stayed all night
being acquainted with NJ. r. De
Fries at that ranch. He told there
a story Of having had some trouble
with Mahaney over bride which
resulted in Mahaney picking up .
neckyoke and going for Hinton
who, in order to protect himself
grabbed a break pole and delivered
the fatal blow. Hinton left the
Donnelly ranch early Monday morn
ing going into DEVILS Basin wher,
he remained until taken by the au
thorities.
Justice Shiels bound the prisone
over to the district court. Th'
charge against Hinton at the presen
time is that of first degree murder
but it is generally believed that tn
charge will be changed to involun
tary or voluntary granddaughter
The nature of the charge will de.
pend on Judge Cheadle. Under tn
present charge Hinton will have t
remain in Jail to await trial, but Al
soon as the charge is changed t
the less serious crime he will be re
leased under bonds. District cour
will not convene until some time i

one Of Roundup's popular young
men, being employed by F. NJ. Wall

ROUNDUP, MONTANA FRIDAY NOVEMBER II, 1908
NINE DISASTER
At RED LODGE
Nine Coal Miners Lose Liveo
In Big Nine Fire..6un.
dreds Imperiled.

Red Lodge, Nov .21-Nine persons
are dead as result of the fire which
started in the third east entry of
slope No. 2 of the Northwestern
Improvement company mine here |
yesterday. The dead are: Frank
Yankoski, Tony Stronish, Andrew
Keranen, Jacob Sinko, Victor Me
mel, Batista Besso, Carmuel Gasp
ers, John H. Madison, Andrew &.
Cork.
The bodies Of the three latter have
been recovered but the remains OF
the other six may never be found,
as it is presumed they endeavored
to make their escape through slope
No. 2 the timber Of which was en-
tirely consumed by the flames. In
that event their bodies have been
burned to ashes.
Instead of coming up the No. l
1.2 air shaft, through which 80
many Of the other miners were res
cued, these unfortunate men started
up the No.2 slope and lost their
lives in their attempt to gain liberty.
The prompt action on the part of
the officials and the members of
the rescuing party probably prev
ented one Of the most disasterous
catastrophes in the history of the
coal mines of Montana.
When the flames first broke out
there must have been SO or more
persons in slope No.2 whose lives
were saved by reversing the air
currents, thus driving the deaden-
ing fumes in an opposite direction.
The work of rescuing the exhausted
men was heroic. The trips were
kept running with wonderful rapid
ity and the men were loaded in the
cars and carried through tn 9
smoke in a manner that was mar
velous.
The rescuing parties had the sit
uation we'll in hand and had it not
been for the confusion among the
men who started up No. 2 slope
the loss of life under the circum-
stances would have been even less.
The accident was not the cause
or the the result Of smoldering fires
in the mine, which had been burn
ing for some time, as was reported
but was due to the timbers being
set ablaze by miners lamp. Just
, who is responsible for the accident
will probably never be known.
: That the fire spread with rapidity
is evidenced by the fact that the
trips were running up and down
the shaft at frequent intervals and
only a brief peroid before Assistant
Superintendent Haggarty had been
through and not discovered any
signs of smoke.
About 10 O'Clock the trip-ridel
sounded the first alarm informing
the superintendent that the timber
were ablaze.
The working forces were ther
! summoned and efforts made to ge
! the news to all of the underground
. employees.
! The timbers, saturated with NOR,
