has been ill with what the doctor termed
a bilioul fever. He refused to talk the
matter over and whether he did take the
morphine or not could not be definitely
told although the symptoms were very
like it. The cause was probably despon
dency.
Circulars warning at tanoring men to
avoid Sand Coulee until labor troubles
were over were distributed quite freely
around the city yesterday. As might be
expected these have resulted from a
strike now on in the camp. Monday
afternoon a committee of the "loaders"
waited on Superintendent Burrill and
demanded that their wages be raised
from 82.50 to 3.00 per day. The de
mand was refused and yesterday morn
ing a strike was inaugurated. Both
parties are said to be determined but it
is not thought that the strike will last
lneg. About half the force, nearly 150
men are out. Others however are still
working.

THE TALE OF TOLL IM TOLD.
For the Bridge now Stands Open.-An
other Park for the City.
'Tuesday afternoon the board of com
missioners authorized warrants to be
drawn to pay for the wagon bridge and
for the courthouse site. Accordingly
Joe Hluston without a shake or shiver
prepared for treasurer McLellan two
dainty little missives, requesting him to
pay to the Townsite company, 84.5,00
and $20,000, and treasurer McLellan
wrote the biggest check of his life, one
for 85,(000. Then the bridge was thrown
open, the hour being a little beyond:
four p. n.
The wagon bridge across the Missouri
was built in 18M8. In the spring, the
contract was let to W. P. Loberg. He i
was afterwards relieved of his responsi
bility by the Townsite company, who
finished the bridge themselves the same
fall. Its completion was quite an event
for the then straggling little village.
which, at that time had abundance of
falls, but, little to suggest greatness.
Indeed, a &i8,000 bridge seenm.d any
thing but a necessity, and only a wise
foresightedness and a boundless confi
dence, since proven justifiable, could
have inspired its founders. To these,
the bridge, one of the best, it not best,
that crosses the Missouri, now stands a
monument.
The court house site is described in
the deed as block 2'Tl, and is situated
north of the T'l'neun building. It cost
the county $20,00), but it will doubtless
prove an excellent bargain. The com
missioners will propose to the city coun
cil to at once begin grading, intending
for their part, to bear half the expenses.
It is then, more than likely, that the
block will be turned into a park, with
trees and perhaps, a fountain or two.
This would seem exactly the right thing
to do, the location for the purpose being
ex ellent.
About thie Iurllatnn.
A. C. Sheldon, the gentlemanly repre
sentative of the Burlington in Montana,
is at the Park hotel. It is his first visit
since something overa year ago. Speak
ing to a TRmtr'Ns reporter he said: "It is
my first visit since over a year ago, and
to say that I am astonished states it but
mildly. I only intended to stay a day,
but I first saw the big Bach-Cory build
ing, then the Tod, the Townsite, andi the
Cory. Then I strolled around and ran
across the opera house and drove out to
the smelter. It changed my mind and I
said I would stay another day. I have
been all over the state and have seen
no city with such a metropolitan air as
(;reat Falls.
"When I heard that our engineers
were within fifteen milesof town it made
mne feel good. Are we comning to Great
Falls? I feel sure of it. We would have
been in Montana before had it not been
for the state of the money market, and
when we come to Montana we can never
miss Great Falls.
"The Great Northern and lBurlington
are intimately connected, ninny large
owners holding stock in both roads. It
we could meet the Great Northern here
we could easily ship through to the coast.

MAND CoctI.hl:, Mont., Nov 1.
EDITOR TRIMnINs: In your iSSUl ofi
the 4th of November you stated that the
present labor troubles in land Coulee
are only caused by about half of
the men here and those men only "load
ers.' That assertion is incorrect anti we
hope you will accord us space in your
paper for a correct version of the present
trouble.
All miners and laborers are united in
their efforts to gain a fair day's pay for
a fair day's work in this camp and min
era, loaders and laborers all agree that
they consider $3 per day none too high
wages for any man working in the coal
imine. There are no men working in the
camp at present and will not until they
get their demands, which we think is
just. Yours respectfully,

DIED BY HIS OWN HAND,
A Young Attorney Recently from Hel

Snicldes at the Park.
Found Dead in His Itnan with a
GIhatly iullet Ilie Jlust lie
A man ihasi ,suicidetd at lit Park
Hlotel. That was lIth rmi,,r which
gained credence by frelquenti, repetition
on the streets at at a early hour Tuesday
evening. "Who was he':" asked a
startled or curious publit. WhUen dil it
hlappen? Why did he do soA: And all
of these questions save one was easily
answered.
On Friday last Frederick S. Fish
registered at the Park from Helena. To
friends in the city he was known as a
young attorney of most excellent habits,
prosperous in business and well fixed in
the good things of the world. His in
tention on his arrival was to settle in the
city with which he was more than
pleased. He seemed to be feeling cheer
ful and not in the least downhearted.
Business arrangements were already in
course of completion. On Monday even
ing for the first time he appeared just a
trifle downhearted saying that he was
nervous and feared that a general break
ing down would compel him to take a
long vacation.
He retired Monday night and rose
again Tuesday morning. From this
time no one seems to remember anything
regarding him. The chambermaid saw
him go into his room at about nine in
the morning after which he was never
seen alive. Business went on about the
hotel and poor Fish was forgotten for
the time. Perfect stillness reigned in
his room. He had an engagement to
meet a friend in the morning which of
course he failed to keep. Between three
and four thais gentleman came to the
hotel. He went to the room and
knocked but no answer came.
And then curiosity mingled with
alarm became rife at his long silence.
The door was locked with the key in
side. Charles Mix, the porter, climbed
around the root and entered a window.
And then came the solution to his long
silence. The man was dead.
Dr. Sweat was called and at once re
sponded, but Frederick Fish was gone
beyond all hope. Ily this time it was
About i( o'clock the coroner, Dr. Ladd,
arrived and the chamber of death was
again entered. In the bed with the
covers drawn tightly up to his chin lay
all that was mortal of the young attor
ney. The face already bore the pallor of
death and looked yet more pale behind
a blonde mustache. The covers were
turned down and the body
found to be clothed in under
wear and shirt, outer garments
having been removed. The right hand
crossed over the breast was rigid and thec
left lay extended upward by the left side.

Q. (.arr was first called to the stand.
IIis story,told. as it was, in a hulting.hesi
tating manner, is yet one of the most
marvelous and dramatic in criminal his
tory. It reveals a most wonderfully in
genious plan, carefully prepared and ap
parently succeeding, only to be frus
trated by a stout attack of the arch
enemy of evil--conscience. In sub
stance he told his tale as follows:
Some time about the early part of Sep
tember he called at the Barnum resi
dence. Naturally the subject of the for
mer mail robberies and the consequent
trouble they brought on Mrs. Barnum
and Ed came up. He (Garr) told Ed
that some way should be contrived to
relieve Mrs. Barnum, even though the
son took on his own shoulders the blame,
and thus relieved his mother. One word
brought on another until finally it was
suggested that Ed go to some coulee and
cache a package under a rock which
should afterward be found. Ed Barnum
wanted (arr to come and dis
cover this, then to come to
to this city and raise a great excitement
regarding it. To this Garr demurred
for personal reasons. Later Johnson
was taken into the scheme, which in its
perfected state was thus arranged. John
son and (Carr were to go antelope hunt
ing. After a time they were to stroll up
to a place formerly agreed upon, where
Barnum was to be seen secreting a pack
age under a rock. After he left they
were to go and discover it and then were
to spread abroad the news that they had
seen a man sorting letters under a rock.
Of this individual they were to give such
a description as should identify him with
the mysterious stranger who stayed at
the Barnum home the night of the rob
bery, and from whom, Mrs. Barnum
claims to have received the decoy e2 sent
by the government and found in a roll of
her money. And even yet the plot was
not complete. To further divert sus
picion they were to say that this find oc
curred on September Nth,thoughit really
took place on the 13th. as on the eighth
Ed Barnum had gone to a dance some
distance away, giving that gentleman an
easy opportunity to prove an alibi.
It was a most ingenIOUs Bsceme ani
worked out perfectly. Everyone be
lieved it. Ed. Barnum paid G(arr 88.
and of this Garr gave Johnson 845. But
difllcuiltiies arose. In the first place
when (Garr and Johnson exam.ined the
contents of this Ilysterious cache they
found a paciknge of letters hearing dates
if the 4Ithl and 5)th if 4Slptitber. h'ilis
was unllexpeclted and frilhteneid both sit
that they \wnt away unII left the letters.

questions sioon made himn think that
something lay behind it all and he
strongly advised Mr. Garr to cease his

there andi doing somniething with the rock
under which the letters were found. Af
terwards he and larr examined the rock
and found the letters. lHe was frighten
ed. as he had no desire to fool with the
mails. About twenty minutes later the
two met Barnum in the same coulee anti
money arrangements were made.
He testified to receiving 8hiO, and when
asked why he took it and then
gave Ed Barnum away said that
"bhe needed the money in his business"
The date on which this all took place
was the 27th of September and this he
was sure of because of a memorandum
he kept. The reason that he kept silent
so long was that he considered the
Barnuims dangerous people. lie em
phatically denied a good part of lGarr's
teastiioinv. In the main points, how

THe CORONER'S INQUEST.
The .Jury find a Verdlct Exoneratlag the
Anaconda Company froln Blame.
ST. PaUL, Nov. 5.-- A Butte special to
Pioneer Press says: The inquest on the
bodies of the nine men killed in the
disaster in the shaft of the Anaconda
mine on Tuesday night was finished to
clay. The testimony showed that there
were 21 men on the cage when it came
up the shaft, ten on the ti upper and eleven
on the lower deck of the cage. Orders
are that not over nine men shall ride on
one deck at a time. But this is constant
ly violated. The guides in which the
cage slides had been examined and
repaired whenever necessary only a few
days prior to the accident. The foreman
on duty at the time testified he examined
the shaft after the accident and thought
O'Donnell who was on the upper deck
must have fallen against the wall of the
shaft. ills body was squeezedl between
the wall and the deck of tlhe cage and
fell against the men on the lower deck
crushing them off. One of the guides
was broken by the body passing between
the timbers and the cage pressing it
sideways. The men frequently have been
cautioned against Imore than nine riding
on each deck of the cage but twelve
have frequently ridden safely. The state
nur.e inspector testified he had come out
on the cage slowly exanmining the timbers
and guides all the way and found all in
good condition. The jury rendered ver
dict to the foregoing effect and exonerat
ing the company froum all blame.
