DeerLodge, July 14.^News of th^^most distressing affair that ever oc^^curred in Deer Lodge county was^brought to the city at noon to-day by^William Avery, who reported that^Frank Dunton and John Carlnl were^lying dead in their cabin at Cariboo,^about nine miles east of Deer Lodge.^It Is a most peculiar and sad circum^^stance. A number of citizens, among^whom were George S. Miller, J. B. Mc-^Masters, J. M. Hartwell, O. M Lown,^T. F. Beacock, James Ma rat a. Charles^Pierce and H. A. Smurr Immediately^drove out to the place, and on arriving^there witnessed a sight that made their^flesh creep. The two unfortunate vic^^tims, who had crawled from the scene^of the accident to their bed In the^cabin, lay dead with their clothing all^burnt oft, and their bodies almost^roasted.
Thestory of the accident, as told by^Mrs. Dunton, who was In the cabin at^the time It occurred Is as follows: She^stepped outside the cabin about !i^o'clock yesterday morning and noticed^that the blacksmith shop where her^husband was working at the time was^on Are. She called her husband, and^receiving no answer she ran toward^the shop. John Carlnl, the hired man,^heard her cries and rushed to the door^of the shop, and he had no sooner^opened It than he was enveloped In^flames from head to foot. Dunton,^finding the door open, staggered out,^and both men crawled to a water ditch^that was close by and tried to extin^^guish the Are in their clothing that was^slowly eating their lives away. Mrs.^Dunton finding that the dltrh was al^^most dry took her husband to a well^near the cabin and Immersed him In^the water and then tenderly helped^him to the cabin, where she placed him^on a bed. John Carlnl came In a few^minutes later, screaming from pain,^and she laid him beside her dying hus^^band.
Althoughcrazed with grief she did^not loose her presence of mind, but Im^^mediately proceeded to cover their^burning bodies with all the lard In the^house, and having done all that lay In^her power towards alleviating their^sufferings, she picked her baby up In^her arms and ran to the nearest cabin,^which was two miles distant and oc^^cupied by Mr. Koontz. He carried the^news to her father, James K. Home,^who lives about Ave miles down the^valley, and she returned to the cabin^to watch over the dying men. Her hus^^band was the first to succumb and died^at 4:30 in the afternoon. John Carlnl^lingered until 6 o'clock, when death^came to his relief.
Herfather was the first to arrive,^reaching the cabin a little after 6^o'clock.
ItIs thought that the fire in the^blacksmith shop was caused by a^spark reaching a box of black powder^that was stored In the place and was^left open. There was no explosion from^It, but the entire shop was filled with^flames when the door was opened. Jus^^tice of the Peace Hartwell Is holding a^coroner's' Inquest this afternoon. The^bodies will be brought to town to-night^and the funeral will take place some^time to-morrow.
sortof love feast was held and many^ministers of other churches were present^to offer congratulations. There was no^reference In any of the prayers, addresses^or sermons to the crimes which made^the church notorious. A force of police^In citizen's clothes was at hand to pre^^vent trouble, but there was no sign of^disturbance.

ATVINA RANCH.
Mrs.Stanford Talks About Grapes and^the I Diversity.
SanFrancisco, July 14.^Mrs. Leland^Stanford has returned from a visit to^the Vina ranch, where she went for the^purpose of inspection. For the first tlmo^the great ranch, which has been person^^ally managed by Mrs. Stanford, will pay^expenses and there will be a small sur^^plus. The grain crop this year n il! he a^large one and the vines will produce from^L'.OuO to l .^^^ tons of grapes. Eight thou^^sand tons of grapes will he crushed for^wine and brandy, making 1,000.000 gallons.^The balance of the grapes will be sold.^Mrs. Stanford says only brandy for me^^dicinal purposes will be distilled.
Speakingof ths Stanford university, she^said: ^If I can keep 1,000 students at^the university I will he satisfied. We^had 1,100 last year and will have that^number at the opening of the next term.^With the most economical policy, It costs^$15,000 a month to run the university. I^have no plans for any future additions^to the university. I hope to be able. If I^am spared a few years longer and all^goes well with me In regard to finances,^to give the university some absolute ne^^cessities In the way of additional build^^ings, but I shall be very slow and care^^ful about expending money, as I Intend^for every dollar spent to get a dollar's^worth In return. The experience of the^last two years has taught me much In^regard to the value of money and I^think it will Influence me In my future^acts.
.Mrs.Stafford has received hundreds of^letters and telegrams congratulating her^on Judge Ross' decision against the gov^^ernment. She says she will have those^letters tiled among the archives of the^university.

Van.Armenia, May 24.^ The Sas urn^massacre. It would appear, was one of^the moat eatvfull^ planned outrages in^history. The evidences of this Is clr- j^cumstantlal only, but It is alleged to I^be none the less conclusive. During |^the months of June. July and August^preceding the Sassoun massacre, the^Kurdish chiefs In the country sur- j^rounding the Sassoun region, and par^^ticularly the dlstrl ts in the southward^and southwestward, were apparently ,^unusually busy In gathering up the^scattered warriors of their tribes for^an invasion of the Sassoun region. In I^July and August enormous quantities I^of petroleum were shipped from Krz-^eroum and Moush. This petroleum was^shipped from Russia to Krzerottm, and^so great was the (tuantity brought over^the mountain roads that It was a sub^^ject of remark to very many persons.^For a time It looked as though nothing^went over the roads between Erzei-^^'um and Moush but petroleum. Now^It Is a fact that Moush does not use u^great quantity of petroleum herself nor^do her merchants sell much of It to the^surrounding country. In the villages^candles of sheep fat oil are used tor^lights. What Moush wanted! with^those countless cans of petroleum was^a mystery, but the mystery was a mys^^tery no longer after the Sassoun mas^^sacre, for the petroleum was used to^burn the houses of the Sassoun villages^and to cremate the bodies of the^wretched villagers who fell victims to^the awful butchery.
Inburning the houses the petroleum^was thrown upon the woodwork In^generous quantities and set on Are. In^cremating the dead the bodies were In^many cases placed between layers of^wood and built up Into a sort of fune^^ral pile. The entire mass was then^saturated wllth petroleum and set on^fire. It Is charged that living men^were cremated in the same way. but^this was a merciful way of putting the^unfortunate creatures to death in com^^parison with tortures inflicted upon^many others.
Thtmassing of troops near the Sas^^soun region ami particularly at Moush.^was carried on for some time before the^beginning of the massacre. In order^that everything might he in readiness,^according to the programme said to^have been carefully made out at Con^^stantinople. Several weeks after the^Sassoun massacre. It Is claimed, orders^were sent from the palace at Constan^^tinople for the massacre of the Inhabi^^tants of Modlkan. a district lying to^south and southeast of Sassoun. hut^when It was seen that an Investigation^of the massacre at Sassoun was Inevi^^table, the order, it Is said, was re^^called and Modikan was not molested^except In the ordinary course of per^^secution general In all parts of Arme^^nia.
Inthe city of Van, at this moment,^there are 500 young men sworn to give^themselves as a sacrifice to Turkish^butchery in the hope that the attention^of England may be more strongly^called to the desperate situation of^their people. The Armenians cannot^accept any such scheme of reform^which does not haie for Its fundamen^^tal principles the absolute control of^European powers, liiless Europe con^^trols the reforms there will be a mas^^sacre of 20,000 Christians in tho city of^Van vithln two months. The Armeni^^ans themselves will bring this about^rather than be east adrift by their fel^^low Christians of the West. There Is^no language quite adequate to a de^^scription of the real condition of Arme^^nia at present. Men are beaten, robbed^and murdered and women are ravished^by Kurds and Turkish soldiers. Woe^and want and despair stalk abroad in^this beautiful land that was once a^part of the OarJen of Eden. The in^^habitants of Van are living on the^brink of a massacre from day to day.

Austin,Tex , July 14.^Attorney Gen^^eral Crane to-day gave out his opinion^In the Corbett-Fltxslmmons fight case^from Dallas. The opinion was In reply^to an Inquiry from the Dallas county^attorney as to whether the law of l^tSl^prohibiting prii^ lighting was valid^and operative. It was held by some of^tho best lawyers In the state that the^Ian was Invalid and Inoperative be^^cause It denounces the offense as a^felony and affixes thereto the punish^^ment of misdemeanor, and further be^^cause the act was so indefinitely^framed and is of such doubtful con^^struction, considered either by Itself or^in connection with the other provis^^ions of the written law, that It cannot^be understood Further, the legisla^^ture. In adopting the revised ^^cirri d Into the civil code the act of^1SS!^, which licenses prize fighting, and^the civil code, with the provisions In It.^was Anally passed at a time subse^^quent to the adoption of the penal^code, in which is Incorporated the stat^^ute prohibiting prize lighting, and^therefore the statute licensing prize^lighting by implication repealed the^penal law on the same subject which^had previously been pas^od.
Theattorney general In his opinion^takes the opjmslte view. He holds that^the law of 1X91 was and still is opera^^tive. The attorney general contends^that, according to the contention of^those who believe that the statute^against prize fighting Is void on ac^^count of its declaration that the crime^Is a felony and th^ punishment of a^misdemeanor Is applied thereto, the^statute would be perfect If the word^misdemeanor' could be substituted for^Ids v ord t^ 1 ay.' Following Is the^doctrine announced In one of our court^decisions, namely: 'that the Intention^of the legislature controls the express^language In the construction of the^statutes, the court was at perfect lib^^erty to eliminate the word 'felony,' If^such elimination were necessary to^give effect to the legislative Intent It^must be plain that the court believed^that the Intention of the legislature^was to prohibit prize fighting. If the^court further believed that the fact^that the legislature affixed th.- punish^^ment of a misdemeanor to th^ offense^of prize fighting and the word UsttsV^was Inserted by mistake, it was at^perfect liberty to disregard that word^In the construction of the statute.'
Further,the validity of the act In^question Is not affected by the revision^of the code. The civil code passed the^legislature before the |ienal code did.^and not afterwards Hut notwithstand^^ing all assertions to the contrary, by^reference to the new revised code, It^will be seen that It speelfleally states^that all laws embodied In the revised^statutes which were In existence at^tin- time of Its adoption should b^- con^^sidered to be a continuation and not^as new enactments. This law being^valid, it Is the duty of the sheriff of^Dallas county to see that it Is enf ^r-e.|^He has that authority and we will look^to him to see that the law Is enforced.
