MAN SHOT At HOTEL
REFUSES TO TALK
"I'II Die Before ! Tell You
Anything About It," He
Tells Detectives.

The sullen silence of a young, we'll
dressed man, who lies wounded in
Emergency Hospital, maintained even
in the face Of threatened charges Of a
liquor law violation and of carrying
concealed weapons, today baked a
police inquiry into his shooting last
night in front of the Annapolis Hotel
He told police his name is James E.
O'Connor ana mat he is % years old
and lives in the 1900 block of Ninth
street. Beyond that and the informa-
ton that the man who shot him, after
the hotel clerk had refused to give them
room for the night. Is Leo Cullen,
nothing could be gotten from him by
continued questioning.
EN- Die Before Tell"
"I1l die before I tell you anything
about it." he Is quoted as saying by
Headquarters Detective James Spring
mann, who, with Headquarters Detec-
tive Michael j. Dowd, Is conducting the
investigation into the case.
Hospital physicians do not consider
O'Connor's condition serious. The bull
let, fred from 38-caliber revolver,
went completely through the upper por-
ton Of his left leg, causing consider
able loss of blood. The mans left hand
is scared by the passage of the bullet,
and police suppose that he had seized
the muzzle Of the gun just before 1t was
fred
The shooting occurred at the Twelfth
street entrance to the hotel. James Nor
ris, night clerk, told detectives that the
two men walked into the place about
lao o'clock this morning and asked for
a ROOM While they were registering he
observed gun bullying from O'Connor's
inside coat pocket, and refused to allow
them to stay for the remainder Of the
night. After considerable argument the
men left and Norris telephoned for po-
lice.
Found O'COnn0r on Sidewalk.
A few minutes later he heard the
sound of a shot and ran to the street,
where he found O'Connor lying on the
sidewalk with blood gushing from his
wound.
Just about that time the first precinct
patrol drove up and removed O'Connor
to Emergency Hospital, where he was
treated by DR.. Leonard Mccarthy.
According to Springmann and Dowd.
an unloaded .38-caliber revolver and a
half pint of alleged liquor were found
in the injured mans pockets.
The two detectives spent the re-
mainder of the night and this morning
attempting to find O'Connor's assailant,
"ut without success.

Laundry, the bookkeeper and four

BANDITS SERVE REFRESHMENTS

Good Time Had by All, Though Manager Has to BE-
Brought From Home to Open Safe.

Leaving the employees under guard,
two Of the men went to Klein's home
and at the point of pistol compelled
him to enter their automobile. On the
way back to the laundry, one of the
robbers expressed the opinion that the
employees doubtless were hungry, as it
was past dinner time. The car was
stopped at a restaurant, where one Of
the men bought two gallons of coffee
and "a sandwiches.
Before doing anything about the safe,
the bandits produced the coffee and
sandwiches and every one ate. After
ward, at the point of a gun, Klein
opened the safe, which yielded $500.
Not much, but it will sufIlce," said
the robber chief well, Wen be saying

had been told was IN. that region.
Locating the Indian camp, Gore re-
NAMED in it several days. He found

who were living with the tribe. 1t

men were, but. the chronicler has failed

leader seemed, to be in no hurry to
arrive at his eventual destination. :.
1t was now that he constructed two
flatboats and himself embarked for
Fort Union, Sending the most Of his
party overland with the wagons and
horses. At Fort Union the incident al
ready related occurred. After Sir
George had been thus freed of much
of his impedimenta, he either. sold or
gave away to both whites and Indians
his horses and cattle and with the few
members Of his party who were desir-
Gus of returning with him, embarked
upon the Missouri river, using the two
flatboats which they had constructed at
the mouth Of the Tongue river.
We gather from BOStWickS recital to
Heidi, that many members of the party

may well imagine that when Sir George
rode forth from his camp upon
thoroughbred saddle horse, followed Dy
his train of retainers, he made a snow
ing far beyond anything OF the XII
that had been heretofore seen IN tht
western country.
The party QUILTED at st. Louis II
1854 and travelled from there to FOr
Laramie in eastern Wyoming, where Il
spent the winter. Fort Laramie at'thal
time was the most famous outpost OF
the frontier, a gathering place fol
trappers, traders, mountain men ano
Indians and in a region aboundine
with game. During his sojourn there
Sir George cultivated their acqualnt-
anc as well as that of numerous In
dams from the country north into
which he intended to venture later on
BY reason of his no doubt interesting
personality and his generosity he be-
came popular with all of them, and
for his own part, we are informed BY
Mr.. Heidi, he made. an interesting
study of his strange companions and
new found friends.
To Powder River
In the spring of 1885 Sir George LEFT
Fort Laramie with his train and fol
lowed an old Indian and trappers' trail
to the headwaters Of the Powder river
His guide, by the way, was the redOubt-
able James Bridger, which came as
near to assuring Gore routes of i'm
erring travel and safety as it was then
possible to obtain.
There a at that time a trading
post on the upper Powder river known
as Portuguese fort or Portuguese house,
which had been established about 1885
by a trader of Portuguese extraction
hence it's name. The Gore party tar
ried briefly here before pursuing its
way down the Powder river. At the
mouth Of the Yellowstone, it turned up
that stream to the mouth of Tongue
river and in this region. then a para
disc for buffalo, Sir George seemed to
find what he was looking for. He
established two camps, one at the
mouth of the Tongue river and one
eight miles UP the Tongue. river from
the Yellowstone. At the latter most
of the members of his party were
quartered. He himself spent most of
his time at the camp on the Yellow
stone.
Months he spent in this camp, and
we can well imagine his activity, when

4 N EARLY day expedition into Mon
u tana Of which little has been re-
corded, was that of Sir George
Gore, Irish big game hunter, who spent
the winter of 1886 in camp at the
mouth Of the Tongue river, with a
truly formidable retinue of men and
equipment. The only available record
of the Gore expedition of which the
writer is aware is preserved in the
archives of the Montana Historical So
ciety, and for all that it is brief and
anything but abundant in detail, it
does not fail to inform the reader that
here was an unusual man, bent upon,
for those days, the unusual task Of per-
sonal enjoyment.
That Sir George was both eccentric
and impetuous needs no further proof
than narration of an incident that oc-
| Cured with his arrival at Fort Union
in the spring of 1856. Most of his out
fit had made the trip overland from
George himself navigated the Yellow
stone between the two points, in two
boats of his own construction.
Arriving at Fort Union he made a deal
with Major Alexander Culbertson, in
command of the post, for two macki-
nav boats, in payment for which, or
at least in part payment, Sir Georges
horses, wagons and other equipment
were to be turned in at a, stipulated
figure. When the boats were complet-
ed there was a misunderstanding of
some kind regarding the terms OF the
trade and the hot tempered Irishman,
believing that the fur company official
was trying to impose upon him, piled
all Of his stuff, wagons, carts, Indian
trade goods and everything, together
in plain sight of the fort and burned
it, standing guard in the meantime to
prevent either whites or Indians from
salvaging anything from the flames.
Threw Irons In River
Not only that, but, fearing that the
fur company men might try to retrieve
the irons from his burned wagons and
carts from the ashes of the bonfire, he
raked them from the emberS and under
cover of darkness threw them into the
Missouri river.
1t is not to be understood from this
recital that Sir George was either
penurious or parsimonious. On the
contrary, it is written that he was
prodigal to extravaganza and as gen.
erous as all out of doors. That is the
description given of him by one Henry
Bostwick, a member of his party dur
ing the three years it was in the field,
whose views of his employer and recol-
lections of their travels were told to
and written down by F. George HEIDI
and contributed to the Montana His
torical society in 1876.
The Gore expedition consisted of 40
men, 112 horses, many of them, we are
told, blooded animals; IL Jokes of cat
tie, Ia dogs 6 wagons and 81 carts.
Presumably, Sir George bethought
himself to take with him such of the
creature comforts that might be con-
veyed conveniently and to take sufn-

ELECTRIC LAWN
MOWER TOO HOT
INVENTION OF ERICSSON SPRINGS
PROPRIETOR As YEARS AGO
SIZZLED AND FIZZLED
1t Cut the Grass All Right But Proved
Too Much For Its Intrepid Operator
Who Fell OFF the Seat and Ruined
His Pants.

The lawn mower which people bor-
row in the summer months and re-
turn in the winter when they wish
to borrow the snow shovel Is the
invention of a Montana man; that
is to say that a Montana man As
years ago invented a lawn mower;
in other words, a pioneer Montanan
hit upon an idea for cutting grass
that would have-but read the story
as presented in a Butte daily news
paper of Aug. IL, 1885. The account
of this Montana lawn mower reads
a follows:
"Mr. Gregson, tie genial proprietor
OF GregsOn Springs, mas invented a
machine for cutting grass by electricity,
which will prove a striking improve
ment in agricultural machinery. A
small dynamic machine, weighing not
over IS pounds, is the basis. 1t gen.
crates a current of electricity that
heats a metallic ribbon white hot. This
ribbon burns the grass off close to the
ground. Last Sunday Mr.. Gregson
made q trial trip with his machine.
He filled up the batteries with blue
stone and acid, and when he got all
ready MI. Schussler, the ever alert
solicitor of this paper, who was visit
ing the springs for the benefit of his
voice, expressed a desire to handle the
reins.
"Schussler got On the seat and start
ed of at a lively rate, sending the
grass over the back Of the machine
in a beautiful green shower. MI. Greg
son was delighted, when suddenly Mr..
Schussler rose from his seat, and turn
ing a back somersault followed the
grass. and the horses plunging on came
up with the fragments of the machine
against the Gregson hotel. 1t appears
that the speed at which Schussler had
driven the machine generated too much
electricity, and it got up on the iron
seat and burned the seat of the drivers
pants close to the hide.
1T was just at this moment that
Schussler took the header backwards
owe the tail-board of the mower. Mr.
Gregson did not expect to have perfect
machinery at the beginning and thinks
that by having the seat composed of
some non-conductor he can keep the
driver from getting overheated. Mr..
Schussler offered our reporter some
thing to keep this item out of the paper
but 1t was no go. When you see'Schuss'
stepping a little lame, please do not
ask him the reason"
