I,()CAL > IOWS From the DaUy Herald of July 11. accidentally shot. A Distressing Occurrence, Endanger ing the Life of Miss Fanny Vandervoort. A deplorable occurrence was the accidental shooting of Miss Fanny Yandervoor, about 4 o'clock p. m., Saturday, in the library of the office ol McCutcheon & McIntyre. In the midst of the busiest hours of the closing day of the week the report of a near pistol shot startled the occupants of the connect ing rooms, Col. McCutcheon, his law part ner, Mr. McIntyre, and Mr. Beckler, chief engineer of the Montana Central. A mo ment later and young Arthur McCutcheon, the young student son of Col. McCutcheon, spending his summer vacation at home, pale with fright, appeared through the open door and fell into his father's arms, crying. "Ob! Fanny is killed, Fanny is killed!" Physicians were immediately summoned and Drs. Kawson, Nichols aüd Leiser were immediately in attendance. The unfortu nate girl, gently lifted from the chair where she was seated, her head drooping upou the back, was removed to a sofa and bur ned examination of the wound instituted. The injury sustained was pronounced by Dr. Kawson to be serious. During a semi or wholly unconscious state the course of the shot was traced and the bullet extracted by an incision of the scalp an inch and a half back of the right ear Without lacerating the lids, the ball, said I)r. Nichols, entered the inner corner of the right eye, passing back of the pro truding ball and through the right side of the brain, carrying small fragments of lsme, which were extracted, colored with lead. Before administering ether and conimenc ing the operation, the patient was conscious, and to inquiries in the presence of a Herald reporter and others she repeated, as she had previously done to Col. McCutcheon, "It was an accident; it was an accident." The patient, her wound being dressed and bandaged, was carried to a waiting hack and conveyed to St. Peter's Hospital. It being here decided that the shattered eye should be removed, an anaesthetic was ad ministered and the operation carefully per formed. In brief the story of the accident is this : Young McCutcbeoD, a sunuy-tempered school boy of 16, had Saturday cleaned and reloaded a small 32 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver, found at the house, and afterward showing it at the office was cau tinned to be easeful in haudlmg it. In ex amining it in the library, Miss Vandervoort while resting alter the completion of type written letter to her lather, caught sight of the weapon and asked to be per mitted to look at it. The boy held it out toward her and when she reached to take it he teasingly drew it back She said, "Oh, if you don't want to let me take it you need not." He handed it to ward her a second time, when with a quick motion she grasped it, aud that instant the pistol, a self-cocking one, w T as discharged, with the result as above stated. Miss Vandervoort has be n a resident here since last year and mach, her home with Mrs. Southmayd, to whom she much attacued. She is an accomplished young lady, 19 years old, a proficient stenographer aDd type writer, and since her engagement by the Legislative Conncii last winter has been to/ the most part in the employ of McCutcheon & McIntyre in a similar capacity. She is very attractive, as lovely in disposition as in face and form, and there is nobody in all Helena who is not her friend. We are unable, of course, to picture the distress of young McCntcheon, the father and others at the sorrowful occurrence. The boy lamented that it was not he instead of the girl who suffered by the accident. The elder McCutcheon directed that every possible care and attention be given the patient and no effort be spared in treat ment and nursing to save her life. Since Sunday morning the symptoms of the case are reported hopeful by Dr. Kaw son, who has the patient in charge, but the crisis has not yet passed and it is impossible to-day to predict the outcome of the in jury. The father, Mr. Vandervoort, is due here Tuesday evening from Minneapolis, and he is being informed, as is the mother at home, of the condition of their danghter by messages wired to them at frequent in tervals. At noon to-day the patient was reported rational, resting easily with pnlse and respiration at out normal, bat the attend ing physician is reserved in committing himself as to the chances of recovery. At the examination of young Mc Cutcheon this afternoon, before Judge Sanders, it was clearly shown by the testi mony that the shooting was purely acci dental. The Judge so decided and the prisoner was disci aiged. The hearing, to all who were present, was very affecting throughout, and when Prosecuting At torney Balliet waived the examination of the hoy, Arthur felt relieved. This was done, as in the mind of the attorney for the people and the court, nothing new could l>e gained, and it would bs an uiueceseary trial for the boy and bis father. in at Wreck on the Montana Central. Yesterday evening, a cattle train bound for Helena, on the Montana Central, was derailed on the trestle just south of Wickes. The southbound passenger had passed the place safely but a short time before and the excursion train was dae from Central Park Both trains met at Boulder where the news reached and the excursion train was sidetracked until after one o'clock this morning Manager Shelby, who was aboard, proceeded at once to the scene of the wreck in order to expedite the work of clearing the road. It seems that the intense heat of the day had spread the rails jnst enough to allow the narrow wheels of the freight cars to leave the track and being on the trestle the result was that three cara fell over the bridge, a distance of about fifty feet. There were 104 bead of cattle in the derailed cars out of which bat thirteen were killed. The surviving animals, being thoroughly infuriated on being let ont of the de molished cars, made thiDgs lively for awhile and kept the working crew scatter ing in all directions. The wrecking crew did hard and efficient work aod ihe tracks were made passable in about five hours' time. The Indians Acquitted. Missoula, July 14.— [special]—The examination of Finlay and Matt, the half breeds, lor the killiug of the Iodian, Ben way, resulted late yesterday afternoon in their acquittal and discharge, all the evi* dence going to show that the killing was justifiable His Limb Broken. John Mathews, the 13 year old son of Mr. Mathews, of the Rodney Street Meat Maiket, met with a painful and serions ac cident yesterday afternoon. He was riding a horse and driving one before him, when the auimal became vicious and kicked, striking the lad on the limb, which was broken. The hoy is buffering great pain to day, bat is in a fair way to recovery. From the Dally Herald of July 13. RUN OVER NEAR HARDY'S. An Unknown Man Stealing a Ride Killed on the Montana Cen tral. St. Clair, July 16.— ]Special.]—The body of an unknown man was found on the track Saturday about o'clock p. m. near Hardy's station, on the Montana Centra, railroad, badly mangled, both legs being cut off and the stomach torn open; one arm was broken, and the body was otherwise badly disfigured. He was supposed to have come from Helena and was trying to steal a ride to Great Falls. A man tramping with him heard him say he was a piano player. He m is described as follows: About 5 feet, 6 inches high, about 30 years old, light brown hair, blue eyes, wart on the knuckle of the left forefinger, light eandy moustache, and seemingly a German; had on light grey coat and vest with black and grey striped pants, pink calico} shirt and collar; wore a white straw hat. A jury was impaneled and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The bjdy is decently bnried at Cascade, Coro ner Ladd, of Great Falls, sending a casket. Died Unexpectedly. Butte, July 16.— [Special.]—Mrs. Belle Foster died at her home this morning un der mysterious and suspicious circum stances. She was ill but a few hours. A coroner's investigation was started. A post mortem developed some defects of the heart. The womau had complained of cramps of the stomach, aud it was feared that death was caused from poison. Death of Mrs. F. N. McConnell. Mrs. F N. McConnell, the wife of Frank McConnell, the late clerk of the Circuit Court, now of Wallace & Thornburgh, died this afternoon at 1:30 p. m. of inflamma tion of the bowels. Mrs. McConnell was taken sick on last Saturday, and it was not thought that her illness would termi nate fatally. Deceased was 27 years of age, aud leaves a hoy two years old. Friends are grieved to learn of her Bndden demise. The funeral will take place to-morrow from the family residence. Accident to Miss Flowerree, Miss Lizzie Flowerree was thrown by a runaway horse yesterday evening and sus tained some severe bruises about the head aud side, though n« thing serious is antici pated. She and Miss Bessie Newcomb were out for some horseback exercise on the West Side, and Miss Flowerree's üorse, scared at something, became unmangeable and ran away. Miss Newcomb found her lying insensible on the ground and had her conveyed to a neighboring house where she remained dazed for over two hours. Drs Atchison aud Leiser were sum moned and made an examination of her injuries. Her shoulder aud head were bruised, while her side also caused her much paiu. No bones are broken, but she may be injured internally. She rested well last night. M iss Vandervoort's Condition. Mûs Fannie Vandervoort's condition to day remains nuchanged. While the pnlse and respiration are improved, her general condition is still dangerous and apt to mis lead. She is semi-conscious most ot the time, bat has, not the slightest idea of her condition. It will be hard to tell, until the eighthday,what the result will be. It is then that the most critical period arrives, aud it is to be hoped that she will ulti mately recover. Words caunot ex press the gratitude which people feel for the benefit done them by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Long standing cases of rheumatism yield to this remedy, when all others fail to give relief. This medicine thoroughly expels the poison from the bl>od. Marysyille Again Defeats the Would be Champions. About five hundred people assembled at Seymer Park yesterday to see Helena de feat the champions, but as usual the Drum Lummon boys came out victorious by a score of 17 to 8. Game was called at 4 o'clock aud was ended after two hèurs un in teres ing playing on the part of the Helenas, while the Marysville boys dis tinguished themselves by slogging the ball at every turn. The features of the game were the two base hits of Donahue, Cronin, Hubbard. Sullivan and Moffitt, the double play of Ralston to Griffin to McDonald and the poor playing of Semper, Connors and the rest of the would-be ball players comprising the Helena team. Marysville has a team of vounsters which, with a little practice, could defeat the Helenas. The umpiring of Mr. Cruse was as good as could lie expected, when you take into con sideration what "kickers" the Helena team are. Probate Court Doings. Mrs. Delia Lee, who has figared con spicuously before the public on accoant of her drunken sprees, abuse of her children and disorderly conduct, was hauled up again to-day. Judge Howey fined her $10 and coets, which she could not pay and she will have time to reflect on her misdeeds in the county jail. Her oldest girl has been taken *n charge by Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Scott, of Ja y Gould. The younger one will be sent to the Honse of the Good 3hepherd. Madam Sarah Daboy appeared before Judge Howey to day on a charge of dis tnrbing the peace. She paid $10 and costs, and went her way poorer bnt wiser. t hesophTam in e . It is Bonded to Eastern Parties for $75,000. The well known Sophia mine, next to the famous Elk horn, has been bonded to Eastern parties for $75,000, of which I. H Chase, of Kansas City, is the principal. Tbe property was leased a short time ago to John L. Edmonds, who was chiefly influ ential in bringing about this transaction. The placing of this valuable property gives much satisfaction among those familiar with its surroundings, believing, as they do, that a reasonable amount of develop ment will make it one of the moat valua ble properties in Montana. Pardoned by the Governor. William B. Conrtwright, who was sen tenced in the fall of 1888, in Jefferson county, to one year in the penitentiary, on a charge of manslaughter, has been par doned by the Governor to day and been re stored to fall citizenship. From the Dal y B «raid of July 12 BATTLE OF THE BIG HOLE. The Memorable Indian Engagement Fought by Gen. John Gibbon. Fioqi the press of Kaod, McNally & Co., Chicago aud New Y'ork, is issued an in teresting volume of 120 pages, entitled "The Battle of the Big Hole," being a history of Gen. Gibbon's engagement with the Nez Perces in the Big Hole valley, August 9, 1877. It is a faithfully told story of the well-remembered campaign planned by Gen. Gibbon to intercept and punish the hostile Nez Perces band ander Chief Joseph, which, pursued from the west by the forces of Gen. Howard, reached Mon tana, and was first attacked and severely dealt with by the gallant Seventh infantry, led by it«intrepid Colonel. The battle of the Big Hole, although fought with bat a handful of men, was one of the most heroic, desperate and sanguinary pieces of work known in the annals of Indian warfare. The loss indicted upon the hostiles in killed and wounded was 205, considerably more than the entire soldier and citizen command of Gibbon. The small military and volunteer force (less than 200 in all be ing engaged) also suffered severely, the killed numbering 30 and the wounded 41, including Col. Gibbon. Of the seventeen officers, seven were hit fourteen times, two (Capt. Logan and Lient. Bradley) being killed, and one (Lieut. English) beiog fatally wounded, dying soon after. Others of the wounded included Capt. Williams and Lieutenants Coolidge and Woodruff, the Lieutenants each having three wonnds. The volume is illustrated with a number of good engravings, one showing the as sault on the Nez Perces village and another the monument erected on the Big Hole battlefield. There are also excellent por traits of Gen. Gibbon and of officers of the Seventh infantry, including Captains Williams, Rawn, Logan, Sanno, Browning; Lieutenants Bradley, English, Wright, Coolidge, Jackson, Jacobs, Woodruff, Van Orsdale, Harding, Wood bridge; also of Chief Joseph and Sergeant Wilson. The historian is G. O. Shields (Coquina,) author of "Rustlings in the Rockies," "Hunting in the Great West," "Cruising in the Cascades," etc. The volume will have a large number of readers in Montaua. The price in cloth is $1 00. Address Rand, McNally & Co., Publishers, Chicago, 111. YOUTHFUL BRUTALITY. Some Mischievous Lads Put Out Companion's Eyesight with Q jick-Lime. Three or four very wicked boys, residing on East Broadway, are accountable for tbe loss of sight of little Eddie McLaughlin, a cute 3-year-old toddler, who was playing with them at the time. As the story goes, the boys who are considerable older than he, one being at least 12 years of age are very mischievous, and on Monday last,while playing, little Eddie approached, and in a childish manner joined the party. One of the older boys, apparently dissatisfied with the youngster's presence, picked up a band fnl of qaick-lime which was being nsed on a neighboring building, deliberately throw ing it in the child's eyes. The innocent sufferer hurried home, and with tears in his eyes told his mother what had occurred. In the meantime the burning lime was do ing its work of destruction and the pain the child was endnring was intense. A physician was immediately summoned, who reodered what assistance was possible. One eye was found to he totally destroyed, while the other is nearly in the Bame con dition. The parents of the yooDg victim are almost heart-broken, while it is said those of the perpetrators express no con cern over the occurrence. At all events the child is minus his eyes, aud all owing to a pack of boys whose breeding has taught them to disregard the welfare of others. DOINGS AS TOSTON. An Old Timer Killed by a Horse—A Serious Row. Jef. Sharp, an old-time Montanian, was kicked by a vicious broncho, about two miles from Toston. Dr. Hanson was im mediately summoned bat coaid do but lit tle outside the relieving of the patient from the terrible pain she was endnring. Mr. Sharp died yesterday evening from tbe re sults of the kick. Dick Dunn and William Rodgers engaged in a drnnken row yesterday in a saloon at Toston. Daring the quarrel Dann picked up a beer glass aud struck Rodgers several terrific blows in the face and upon the head, inflicting some uply end dangerous wounds. Dr. Belcher was called in and ex traded pieces of broken glass from the wound in the face, which extends from be tween the eyes across the cheek to the ear. How the Grand Golden Drawing curred.

About Two Thousand People at the Opening—Great Falls Wins the Boat Race. All manner of folks—all manner of dress—made np the crowd that filled eight coaches of the M. C. Ry. yesterday morn ing, which, drawn by two mogul engines, left here at 9 o'clock for the new pleasure resort in the mountains. The ladies and children, dressed m befitting summer suit ings, resplendent with the colors of the rainbow, the gentlemen from sombre black to the indispensible linen dnster—all felt in the most happy mood when the start was made. All along the line at every station more passengers were taken np until the cars were crowded to the utmost capacity, and it was a lief to hear the last whistle and the "breakies"' familiar voice call ont "Cental Park." THE PARK is situated just this side of Elk Park proper, in tbe canyon leading to the same. A gentle Blope has been laid oat into lawns, where pipes are now being laid to supply a number of fountains that are to be dis tributed promiscuously. Facing the lawn and roadbed is tbe large pavillion, with adjoining restaurant. A number of smaller arbors are scattered about the lawn, where people can sit in the shade and enjoy their lnnch. Descending this slope the road leads directly to the lake, where abont thirty row boats and a steam launch had to stand heavy service all day. THE LOCATION of this pleasure resort is a happy one. From almost any point a beautiful and in teresting view can be obtained of the sur rounding mountains, and the enterprising Beckwith, with his irrepressible camera, was at hand to impress them upon paper. Seated on the shore of the lake the visitor is attracted on everv turn of the head by some new and pleasing picture. THE DAY'S DOINGS. The Helena train arrived at the park ahont noon and poured ont its 500 or more passengers A general stampede followed, for everybody seemed hungry and tried to reach the restaurant first. Arriving there, the people saw a table with covers for about 100 already occupied by the Butte visitors, who had arrived some hours before. The preparations were entirely inade quate, as the stewart had not anticipated such a rush. Roast chicken, salads, cold meats, etc., disappeared in large quantities with lightning like rapidity, and it was struggle toget a place to sit down or some thing to eat, and many gave it np in disgust. The boat race was set for 2 o'clock and the members of the Helena, Butte and Great Falls Boat Clubs gathered about the landing place at the appointed hour, each setting forth the merits of their respective crews. After some delay the lake was cleared §ud the crews took their positions while Van Orton's Baud discoursed some lively airs on the shore. THE RACE was promptly Btarted by the whistle of the steam launch, aod a poor start was made. The Great Falls team dropped an oar at the start, but soon recovered, and with an even and steady stroke, took position di rectly beside the Helena crew, the Butte boat falling behind in the first stretch. The race became warm after the 2,000 foot line was crossed, and it was evidently a fair struggle between Helena and Great Falls, Coming in on the last stretch the Great Falls boat made a spurt and crossed the line about one length ahead amid the cheers of their adherents. THE BALLOON ASCENSION, though attempted, was but a partial sue cess. The elevation in the park is the highest in which Prof. Price ever attempted to rise. The balloon was well filled, and when the order was given to "let go," it rose to about 300 feet above the ground, re mained stationary for a few moments and commenced to sink. The Professor made two attempts, bat could not rise high enough to make a parachute jump, the air being too light for a satisfactory ascen sion. After many other amusements the Helena people started on the homeward journey but, arriving at Boulder, were delayed an til one o'clock on account of a wreck near Wickes, reaching Helena a little after three o'clock a. m. Notes. Either the "ozone" of the Park or the " water " at Boulder must have a strong ex hilerating effect. We noticed some fanny capers by oar boys. * * * The people displayed much patience and good nature over the unavoidable delay at Boulder, which after all is not such a bad place to stop at. * * * Our friend S. A. Robertson, of the Senti nel, constituted himself a reception in one, to see that his brethren of the press were not wanting for anything. Thanks are re turned. * * * Several of Helena's pencil pnshers were noticed among the crowd, who were evi dently bent upon "doing" the Park. They did. That was rather a boisterous campfire near the Boulder depot, suspicious look ing packages making their way to the scene, whose effect burst forth in a horrid rendition of patriotic songs. * * * The Park is jnst a little too far from Helena to become a favorite. It's a picnic for Batte however, whose people can reach it by several trains daily. HELENA, THE PROSPEROUS How Others See Us—R. G. Dunn's Annual Report. Oor report of one year ago, gleaned from official sources, placed the vaine of Mon tana's .producing interests at $76 466,205, distributed as follows: Improved farming lands, $22,000,000; live stock. $30,722,826; oat pot of precious metals, $23,743'379. The same sources of information now indicate tbe vaine of improved farming lands to be $26,000,000; live stock, $40,583,517; output of mines, 1888, gold, $4,250,000; silver, $19,500,000; copper, $13,685,000; lead, $1,050,000; total, $105,027,517; increase improved farming lands, $4,000,000; live stock, $9,850,691; live stock of all kinds in good condition; cattle command about the same price as one year ago, and it is estimated that $2,500,000 will be realized in this direction from sales to outside parties during the present season. Mutton sheep are 8 per cent, higher, wool is better in qnality, an advance of 25 per cent, over last year is being realized by growers, and the vaine of this year's clip is placed at $3,000,000. It is also believed that the sales of hides, pelts and fare will reach $150,000; the capital employed by oar national and private banks, including surplus and undivided profits, aggregates $5,406,000. Money for commercial pur poses is plentiful, and loans on real estate are easily obtained at 10 per cent, per an num; trade is fally as good as one year ago. Some localities report collections slow, but merchants as a rale are in good shape, and experience bnt little difficulty in meeting their obligations. PERSONAL. —Mrs. M.
