Insane Man

An unknown man appeared at
the sherin's Office Monday even
ing and asked for assistance i'm
procuring several suits of clothes
which ne said belonged to him
and were at the priests house.
The man had a short time before
accosted Mayor HALEY on the

offered The mayor a suit of clothes
TO asst him i'm getting them.
The mayor was i'm the sheriff's
office when the man came i'm and
after a short talk with him be-
came convinced that the mans
mind was unbalanced.
He was laboring under the de-
lusion that he could not sleep i'm

huzzine around i'm the air" and
would have to go outside of town
To sleep. The sheriff persuaded
him 90 go into the Jail where he

PIummer Man
10 County Jail

Several drunken Indians were
arrested at Plummer Saturday
and the officers Of that city start
ed an investigation as to where
they had procured the liquor.
They finally traced it to man
giving his name as ID. w. Burke
and he was arrested on the charge
of bootlegging. AT first he de-
MED his guilt and was going to
stand trial but when confronted
with the evidence he decided to
waive examination and expressed
n desire to be taken before the
Judge and given a chance to plead
guilty so he could start serving
sentence as soon as possible.
The sherin's office here was
notified and Deputy Sheriff Too
hey went to Plummer Sunday and
brought Burke back with him. He
is now confined in the county
jail and will probably be taken
before the judge as soon as pos
sible and given an opportunity to
plead guilty and receive his SEN
tence.

WalIace-KeIIOgg
Excursion Success
LARGE CROWD WAS HERE SUNDAY
Wallace Defeats Kellogg In Ball Game. Trap
Shooters Fail To Appear

About three hundred persons
were with the excursion from
Wallace and Kellogg to this city
Sunday. An o. w. r. & N. train
took them as far as Harrison
where the Red Collar Line steam
eI Georgia Oakes received them
and brought them to this city.
The excursion arrived here at
about half past eleven and were
disembarked at the Tenth street
dock. Quite a crowd had gathered
at the city dock to receive them
but were disappointed. The gun
clubs of Wallace and Kellogg had
been advertised to accompany the
excursion and the Benewah club
had offered a trophy and arranged
for a shoot between the three
clubs, Wallace, Kellogg and st.
Maries but the other two clubs
were unable to attend the shoot
had to be given up, leaving the
ball game between the Kellogg
and Wallace teams as the only
amusement for the visitors while
here.
The game was won by the Wal
lace club by a score of to 5 but
was somewhat disappointing to
the spectators because of the
wrangling between the clubs
which went so far that at one
time it was thought the game
would break up. Kellogg was
at the bat and had three men on
bases when a grounder was bat
ted through shOrtstop. The ball
struck the leg of a runner and J.
Martin, who was umpiring, de-
clared the man OUT. The Kellogg
boys denied that he runner was
hit and protested the decision. A
compromise was finally made by
which the runner was declared
safe but was sent back TO second
base and the game proceeded.
The excurslonists started back
shortly after six o'clock. The
Cakes was accompanied by
dancing barge and an orchestra
was with the party and dancing
was indulged in on the way down
the river.

Shooting At
Blackwell Camp
CHARLES N. BOLIN Meets DEATH
Is ShOi By Mike NiIaIiCh Dies Before lie Can
Reach Medical Aid

Chas. n. BOlin, an employee of
the Blackwell Lumber company,
working at Camp fl, near Tyson,
was shot and killed Saturday i'm
an alteration with another la
borer at work in the same camp.
The shooting took place at the
camp shortly after If o'clock,
while the men were getting ready
for dinner.
According to the story told by
members of the crew Bolin and a
man named Mike Milatich, a Mon
tenegrin, had been quarreling
while they were at work together
i'm the woods during the forenoon
and renewed the quarrel when
they came to camp and we're
washing for dinner. Milatich
went into the bunkhouse and
getting his gun, came out and
fired three shots at BOlin. One
of the bullets entered the rear
side of the hip, striking and
smashing the hip bone and lodg-
ing in the upper part Of the leg.
Another, and probably the fatal
bullett, entered Bolin's back
passed clear through the body
and came out near the heart.
The men, seeing that Bolin was
badly hurt, but not realizing just
how dangerous his wounds were,
placed him on a cot and hasten
him to this city in an autOmo-
bile TO secure medical aid. He
died, however, between Santa and
this city, about an hour and a
half after he was shot. After
the death of Bolin the men con-
tinued on their way to this city
with the body. They were met
here by the coroner, Dr. C. J. Kin
solving, who had the body taken
to the undertaking parlors, where
he held a post mOrtem examina-
tion and removed the bullet
which was lodged in the body.
The only thing in Bolin's pos
session was a small account book
with his name in it and the ad-
dress, Baltimore, Md, a five dol
