Lease is Looking Fine.

The There, Edwards & Co lease
On the third level Of the Little Mat
tie has broken into some of the
incest ore discovered in these parts
for long time. in fact the showing
indicates that the values will run
away up into the thousands, and it
would be useless to have assays
made as the free gold showings
show that. it contains values that
guarantee shipment direct to the
smelters. The find was made at
point something like 1900 feet east
from the shaft, and is directly above
that of what is commonly known as
the Miller lease which is directly
underneath and which made hand
some returns last week from its
shipments, the owners realizing some
thing like a thousand dollars per
month each for a short time of devel-
opment work. While the new find
has not been developed to any great
extent, indications point to a good
sized body, and the owners have the
assurance that great values are ahead
of them and they feel highly elated.

City Council is Getting Busy.

At the last meeting of the City
and ordered printed providing for
the opening of Twenty Second avenue
making it a thoroughfare and public
highway. The ordinance further pro-
vides that in order to vest a legal
title IN the city OF ldano Springs, the
proper officers, after the passage and
approval of said ordinance, are au-
thorized and directed to take such
proceedings by condemnation or 9TH
erwise as may be necessary to car
ry out the intent thereof There will
be three publications of the ordinance
two before it comes up to the coun-
Gil for final action and one after its
passage and adoption. After leaving
Miner street there is no public high
way by which the people can drive
from Sunnyside to Grass Valley.
There should be one and the citizens
have wished this accommodation and
convenience for many years. Every
business man who makes delivery of
goods to these parts of the city is
compelled to come from one part to
another by means of the Miner street
bridge in order to make the delivery.
There is a large population in the
Grass Valley and Sunnyside sections
as well as forming large proportion
of taxpayers. They are entitled to
this consideration. 1t is stated that
at one time tax was provided for
the purpose of bridging the Clear
Creek so as to connect these exten-
sions of the city. 1t looks to one in
a general manner, that this is an i'm
provement that will not only bene-
fit the residents down there but also
the greater part Of the city. Good
roads leading to city, good streets
and good bridges where needed are
improvements that help to build up
a city.

A FRIGHTFU L TRAGEDY.
Demented Man Killed Wife and Child.
rem In Bear Paw Country,

News of a frightful tragedy on Clear
creek, in the Bear Paw country, was
brought to town today by Fred H.
Scott, of Maddux, who is attending to
probate business in the district u
The family of John Kirschweng were
the victims of the terrible crime, which
apparently was due to the anfortuna ate
mental condition of its perpetrator.
According to the particulars given
by Mr.. Scott, who obtained them from
other parties, Mr.. Kirschweng killed
his wife and two little sons Wednes-
day evening, al the Alexander Ross
ranch, shooting them through the head
at close range with a shotgun, and
turning the weapon upon himself COM
mitted suicide. So far as known, there
was no premonitory indication of any
murderous intent, and the crime is
believed to have been instig ated by
some sudden vagary of an unsouud
mind. Mr.. Kirschweng, according to
report, was at one time confined in
the insane asylum at Warm Springs,
and had also been an inmate of a
similar institution at Medical Lake,
Wash, but it was believed he was
sufficiently al to be relieved from
restraint.
The family made their home occa
sionally at the ranch of Alexander
Ross, brother of Mrs. Kirschweng,
and were we'll known and respected
among residents Of that vicinity. Mr..
Kirschweng was formerly employed at
Butte as a machinist and electrician,
and patented some inventions that he
believed would some day bring him a
fortune. He dec AIRED, however, that
his ideas had beer stolen and utilized
by other inventors, and this and other
troubles preyed upon his mind to such
an extent that he suffered from what
was considered a mild form of in.
sanity. The affection appears to have
suddenly developed into q %murderous
and with most deplorable re.
suit.
The Alexander Ross ranch, where
the triple murder and suicide took
place, is located on Clear creek.
about 70 miles southeast of Havre,
and Dr.. Mackenzie. of that city, will
hold q coroner's inquest at once.. ]
