Dillon is becoming an Eldorado for ed
itors. It is rumored that another newspa
per is soon to be established—or rather to
be started,for it takes years to establish one
—in Dillon. Nothing speaks fetter for
the prosperity and enterprise of our peo
ple than their willingness to support local
newspapers, and we dare say that the mer
chants of tills city do more advertising
than anv other town of its population in
Montana.
The evidence given at the preliminary
examination of Lane wau not contradic
tory. The witnesses from Big Hole ap
peared to lie disinterested and gave their
testimony in a manly, straightforward way.
Lawyer Barber brought out the evidence
as to Ute ownership of the pistol, belt and
scabbard very neatly. The only thing that
was not shown was whether there was a
loaded rifle in Sullivan's cabin and whether
lie intended to use it when he left I.une.
Last Tuesday noon while two colts he
longing to Mr. McCunc were being un
hitched by Win. Hurt her« from a wagon
loaded with lumber alongside of the stable
iti the rear of Mr. McCunc's residence,
they became frightened, jumping through
tlie fence into the yard, demolishing the
railing, and breaking the wagon tongue
and coupling pole in half. After running
around the haystack in the yard several
times, they dashed through the fence again,
and ran about a quarter of a mile up tlie
road, dragging a part of tlie wagon-tongue
with them. The cause of the stnasnup
was a cat that had gone into the stable
after some blackbirds, and the whirring of
the birds as they flew out, frightened the
horses. Mr. Burthers was unhurt though
he was standing immediately behind the
colts when they made their tirst spring.
To-day (Saturday ) there will be held an
election at the school house, from 2 to ft
o'clock P. M. for the purpose of raising a

voters turn out to sanction this necessary

who have 110 children attending the school.
It does not give Dillon an enviable rep
utation that it can run its public school but
eight months out of the twelve. Strangers

there will be a sufficient number of broad
minded men at the election to prevent the
close-listed from sitting down on the meas

problems that science has tackled to no
purpose—a question upon which every gem
that glitters in tlie cabinet ot genius has
thrown its rays but in vain. The most
plausible theory is the one offered by Prof.
Moeller, our astrologer. He says that a
brilliant man never is a good fisherman,
because he is full of electricity which runs
down the line and frightens the nibbler.

Witnesses from HIr Hole Itnslu.
Henry Lane whom thc Triiu nk last
week mentioned as having been brought
down to the county jail, was given last
Monday a preliminary hearing before jus
tice Holden—Judge Galbraith counsel for
prisoner and lawyer Barber, counsel for
Territory. The tlie witnesses were:
Fred Dunton. Will H. McCoy and James
P. 'Veiler, all of Monumental where the
shooting occurred.
1 he first witness, Fred Dunton. testi
fied that he was acquainted with Henry
Lane, and Sullivan; saw Sullivan coming
across tlie street, sit down in iront of
Lane's saloon, and enter into conver
sation with Lane. Witness did not hear
what was said, but when lie reached the
door heard Sullivan say to Lane: "You
have not done as you agreed to with me."
Lane said lie had, and Sulhvau rep'iied,
011 have not, and 1 shall see tiiat vou do
it.' Lane then got up and said, "I don't
wisii any further fus» with you" and
walked around the corner of the building.
Witness sat down to talk with Sullivan.
A tew minutes afterwards Lane came out
in the road, probably 15 or 20 yards from
ns, and stopped there a few seconds, pulled
his gun, ran towards Sullivan, and said
that he had had enough of h:s talk, and
did not want to be talked about any. more.
Sullivan asked, "what is that in your
hand?" Lane replied, it is a stomach-pump,
and lam going to use it on you." Lane
made some remark about pinning Sullivan
to the wall. Sullivan said, "You can do
it I guess. 1 have nothing to protect my
self with." Lane then said, "go and heel
yourself then." Sullivan said "all right,"
and started towards the cabin across tiie
road. I Ie passed Lane in going toward
the cabin. When Sullivan was about
eight yards from Lane, Lane began to
shoot. He fired three shots from what
looked to witness like a navy revolver.
The witness was standing in the door of
the saloon and saw Sullivan throw up his
hand to his breast when he was shot, and
saw the hole made by the bullet in tlie
baek of his coat. After firing, Lane turned
and went back of the saloon, aiui witness
went over to Sullivan, and got the 'boys'
to help him dress Sullivan's wounds as
they best could. Witness could not iden
tify the gun with which thc shooting was
done. Witness was shown a Remington
revolver, which he said he believed was
the gun 'nit could not say positively.
Witness saw Lane enter the woods a few
minutes after shooting. The shooting oc
curred on the 29th of June in the forenoon
at 10 or 11 o'clock. Witness found a spot
in Sullivan's back, where tlie bullet, had
struck and come out on the left side of the
breast a little above the heart. Both Lane
and Sullivan hud been drinking hut neith
er seemed to be greatly under tlie influ
ence of liquor. Witness could not under
stand at first what they were saying but
when lie did get near enough to hear them
they were disputing and both seemed to be
angry. Lane did not seem to be very an
gry, as lie said, "I don't want any fuss with
you." Lane used rough language after lie
returned w ith tlie gun. Nothing was said
to Sullivan while tie was moving towards
the cabin. There were three men at tlie
saloon, and another man in the saloon by
thc name of "Sailor Jack." Sullivan had
no physician attending him. When
witness saw Sullivan last, he was weak,
but able to walk around. After Lane got
thc pistol he said uotiiitig a I »out putting
up the pistol but made threats of shooting
Sullivan. Witness had told all lie could
think of, hut probably might remember
other circumstances if his attention was
called to them. Sullivan made no demon
strations of assaulting Lane.
W. 11 . McCoy testified that lie was at
tlie Monumental mining camp at the time
of shooting: was acquainted with Lane,
who was boarding at house of witness.
Was also acquainted wiili Jas. Sullivan.
The witness showed a diagram of the place
of shooting. Tlie first lie heard was
Lane saying, "I don't wish any quarrel
with you, Sullivan." Sullivan replied,
"You don't need to have." Mr. Lane then
went from the saloon to bis own cabin.
He came out of thc cabin a minute or so
afterwards, and came towards the place
where witness was working. Witness
thought Lane was coining to have a talk
with him, but lie stopped when opposite to
the saloon where he could see Mr. Dunton
and Sullivan talking, and stood in tlie road
perhaps a minute. Witness went on with
his work and the next thing he saw was
Lane standing in front of Sullivan, with
hi» gun in his hand raised above his head.
Lane dropped his gun to his skie, and
said, "Sullivan, I don't want to hear you
scandalize me any more." Sullivan asked
"what is that you have in your hand?"
Lane replied, "it is a stomach-pump and I'll
use it on you." Sullivan answered,
"You'» never have a better chance."
Lane said, "I will, I'll pin you fast to that
wall." Sullivan replied. "I suppose you
can, as I have no way of defending myself."
Lane then said, "go and heel yourself, 1
will not take advantage of you." Then
Lane turned around thc corner of the sa
loon. and Sullivan got up and started to
wards thc cabin. Then Lane began firing
at Sullivan He fired three shots. At
is
the last shot Sullivan grabbed his shoulder
like this, ( witness here threw his righthand
to his left shoulder) but continued to go
towards his cabin. Lane then turned and
went alongside ol his own cabin as if lie
was going into tlie woods. After he
passed his cabin lie turned, came back and
went into the cabin, but came out imme
diately afterwards with his pistol-belt and
scabbard. He then went off into the
woods, and was gone probable an hour be
fore he returned to the camp. The wit
ness did not know what he came back for.
Lane did not remain more than two or
three minutes. Tiie shooting happened
about it o'clock in the forenoon. Witness
saw Sullivan immediately after shooting,
went to the cabin with Dunton and found
Sullivan lying on his right side on tlie
cabin floor. The blood was running from
his mouth and nose, and from the wound
in the back and breast. Tlie «hooting was
done with a repeater of large calibre.
The witness was about twenty-two or
three steps from Lane when lie fired. Tiie
bullet struck Sullivan in tlie back, cutting
a suspender and coming out in the left
breast. Lane said nothing when lie fired.
Sullivan was about 9 steps from Lane at
the first shot, about 15 or 16 step* at the
second, and about 2« steps at tiie third
shot. The witness did not hear what oc
curred before he heard Lane say, "I don't
wish to have any quarrel with you."
Lane had been drinking. Sunday he was
under the influence of liquor. Monda v he
was unfit for work. On Tuesday, the dav
011 which tlie shooting occurred, Lane did
not seem to be in liquor to any extent.
Sullivan had been drinking too. Sullivan
left tlie camp July 21st. No physician at
tended him. He went over to Bitter Root
valley and was staying with Mr. Morris.
His wounds seemed to be healed up when
witness last saw them, though the wound
in the back was running somewhat.
James I*. Weller testified that he was
working in thc mines at Monumental city
on the 29th of June; saw Lane on the
morning of the 29th, and after the shoot
ing which occurred a little after 11 o'clock.
It was nearly 12 in the forenoon when wit
ness saw Lane after the shooting. Lane
called witness out and told him what he
would like witness to do for him. He was
owing money to some parties at the camp,
Mr. Razor and otiiers. Lane told witness
that he was going away but did not say
where. Lane had a navy revolver with
with him. Witness had seen and handled
the pistol prior to the shooting. Witness
and Lane had cabined togetiier. Wit
ness identified the pistol in court as tlie
one that was in tlie cabin, thought it the
same that Lane had carried away with
him. A man by the name of Sweet also
lived in the cabin. The pistol belonged
to Sweet. The witness identified the belt
and tlie scabbard in court as those that had
been in thc cabin. The conversation be
tween Lane and witness had not taken
place in the woods, but in the clearing.
Witness told Lane that he thought he had
killed Sullivan. Lane replied that he had
shot Sullivan in self-defence. And that
Sullivan would have shot him if tie had
not shot Sullivan. When Lane left, lie
went towards the gulch where he and wit
ness had been working, and walked to
wards tiie timber. That was the last time
witness had seen Lane.
Sheriff Jones was the last witness and
testified that he had first met Lane at
Mount Idaho, Idaho Territory Witness
was in Idaho looking after Lane. He re
ceived Lane under the custody of Sheriff
Talkington. Witrtess had recived the pis
tol from Sheriff Talkington, as the proper
ty o( the defendant. Lane was taken into
custody by Sheriff Talkington at Cotton
wood, Idaho. Cottonwood is about 120
miles in an air line from Monumental city.
After the evidence, Judge Holden fixed
the bail at $2,000, and the prisoner was re
manded to the custody of the sheriff.
