Tuesday evening as Freight No. 14 was
pulling into Gray Cliff, the rear cars be
came detached, owing to a defective
coupling, permitting them to run into the
forward portion of the train demolishing
four coal cars und otherwise wrecking'the
train. The wreck was cleared away so
that it did not interfere with the running
of other trains.
Sheriff-elect A. J. Edsall had a remark
ably narrow r escape from serious injury
last Monday. While attending to his work
in the planing mill at Bozeman, one foot
got caught in the machinery and every
shred of clothing, together with his boot
was stripped from his leg. The limb was
somewhat bruised and lacerated, but for
tuuately no bones were broken.
By reference to the railroad time table
published eslewhere in this issue it will
be seen that under the new time card
of the Northern Pacific the Pacific ex
press will arrive in Livingston at 11:45 a
m., and the Atlantic express at 3:05 p. m
While the new time card goes into effect
to-morrow it will not effect the running of
trains at this station until Tuesday next.
The boys at the railroad depot perpe
trated a good joke on two of their num
ber this week who have all season dodged
the road supervisor to avoid paying pall
tax. The other day they saw Mr. Mc
Adams riding towards the depot and hid
themselves in the attic. The boys below
kept them there four hours with the mer
cury near freezing point by occasionally
sending a messenger to them to inform
them that Mr. McAdams was waiting lie
low to see them, when in fact he was no
where around. Thus "conscience doth
make cowards of us all."
The Northern Pacific has prepared its
new time card which goes into* effect to
morrow. In connection with the change
the passenger department gives notice that
after that date emigrant sleepers will be
carried on the regular express trains, Nos.
1 and 2, between St. Paul and Wallula
Junction, and over the Oregon Railway
and Navigation tracks between Wallula
and Portland on freight trains Nos. 8 and
13, without change of cars to the emi
grants. This arrangement will give this
class of travel much better accommoda
tions than have ever been offered by any
other line on Pacific coast business.

Ml'ROER most foul.
Whisky and a Winchester Rifle did the
Mischief.
On Suuday evening last, between the
hours of nine and ten o'clock, the citizens
of Livingston were greatly agitated over
the announcement of the fatal shooting of
John H. Bowman, one of the proprietors
of the Bank saloon on lower Main street
by his partner, Jefferson Bryant. Early
in the evening Bryant became excessively
intoxicated. He had been taking in the
town, as it were, and on returning to his
own place of business about half past
nine o'clock he informed his partner that
he would close the house in the morning,
over which a few words were passed be
tween them when a fight ensued in which
Bowman knocked Bryant down, as he had
done on one or two previous occasions
when his partner had been unruly with
drink. The fight was short but decisive.
Bowman assisted in getting his partner up
and washing the blood from his face.
The quarrel was then made up between
them, and Bowman told his-partner to go
home and go to bed. which Bryant prom
ised to do. In about fifteen minutes after
leaving the saloon, however, Bryant re
turned by the rear entrance with a 45-60
Winchester rifle up to his shoulder and
immediately fired, the bullet passing
through the glass Iront at a low angle,
harming no one, though there were several
parties then in the house. Without taking
the gun from his shoulder he fired again,
with only an instant' intervening between
the two shots, the latter one taking effect
in Bowman's shoulder, from which he ex
pired in eight minutes from the time he
was shot. A post mortem examination
disclosed tiie fact that the ball entered
the deltorid muscle of the left arm, rang
ed along the arm, passing through the
axiliory space and striking the lower part
of the fifth rib fracturing it, glancing
downward fracturing the sixth rib, and
passed thr»iugh the left luug striking the
body of the 8th dorsal vertebra, fractur
ing it, then through the right lung and
was found in the right penal cavity.
After the shooting Bryant made his es
cape, but was soon traced to McGee's
house, in Riverside addition, where he
was found secreted under a bed, having
told Magee that he had just had a fight
with his partner and that "Bowman was
after him with a crowd of men." After
the arrest was made Bryant expressed a
desire to be shot down m his tracks, that
he had got even with his partner and was
ready to die. He was lodged in jail until
the next morning, when a coroner's jury
was summoned and the following verdict
rendered :
An inquisition held in Livingston, Gal
latin county, Montana territory, Nov. 17,
1884, before E. M. Tower, acting coronor
of said county, upon the body of John
Bowman there lying dead by the said
jurors, upon their oaths do say that the
said John Bowman, deceased, came to his
death from the effect of a gun shot wound
inflicted by one Jefferson Bryant in a
felonious manner, on the 16th day of No
vell! lier, A. D. 1884, at Livingston afore
said, from which wound the said Bowman
did die. In testimony whereof the said
jurors have hereunto set their hands the
day and year aforesaid.

Bryant was arraigned before Judge
Tower on the charge of murder, plead not
guilty, waived an examination and was
committed to the county jail at Bozeman
to await the action of the grand ju^y at
the next term of the district court. The
commitment was placed in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Beaman, who escorted
Bryant to Bozeman on Tuesday.
. The funeral of J. H. Bowman took
place on Tuesday at 3 o'clock, the services
being conducted by Mr. E. M. Tower.
There was a fair turnout and Mr. Bowman
received a respectable burial.

John W. Granniss, the bonanza rancher
and stock grower of Shields river, who re
cently went east, was married to Miss
Thirsa E. Cline at Arcadia, New York, op
Wednesday, November 5th, 1884» The

spring. The Enterprise extends con
gratulations.
Church Sociables.
The first of a series of socials was held
at the M. E. church on Tuesday evening.
The time was most pleasantly spent in the
visit, promenade, singing, &c. The Ju
dies' Aid Society furnished cako and cof
fee, and many new, and it is hoped, lasting
acquaintances were formed. This social
was the first of a series, and at the next
one in two weeks there will be, in addi
tion, a short programme consisting of
speaking and music finished at the
proniptiiig of the Ladies' Aid.

The Justice Question Settled.
Messrs. H. T. Cepcrly, F. L. Mintie and
Frank Henry, judges at the late election,
returned from Bozeman on Tuesday whith
er they had been summoned by the coun
ty commissioners for a recount of the bal
lots for justice of the peace in Livingston
precienct, having been a tie between Mr.
Redfield and M. D. Kelly, each receiving
250 votes according to the first count. In
the second manipulation of the ballots
Mr. Keily gained three votes, all of which
were doubtful, as in one instance his name
appeared for coroner and in the other two
it had lieen written on the side of the
ticket, with neither of the other two
names for justice scratched, hence in the
first count these ballots were net given to
Mr. Kelly. The board of commissioners,
however, claimed that the ballots were
properly intended for Mr. Kelly and
therefore adjudged him elected.
On the Rails.
St. Paul, Nov. 9.— Saturday night last
found me at Billings and, like Blaine
with an anchor cast to windward but, un
like Blaine, the anchor held its grip and
me with it. Billings always presents
itself to me in the form of an engaging
octopus whose tentacles arc the wiles of a
host of genial lads and long-tried friends
They held me the last time just 24 hours
Billings has been tried by fire and not
been found wanting. I won't say that
"she is rising Phoenix-like from her ashes
for that hackneyed phrase would lie an
insult that no reputable people would be
justified in forgiving. But I will say that
ujKin the ruins of a lot of unsightly, in
commodious and inexpensive shacks arc
being built a row of plain but substantial
brick buildings that will greatly enhance
the beauty and credit of the town.
I left there on Sunday evening and
came eastward, with the weather growing
steadily colder. At Brainerd Tuesday
morning about sunrise the mercury must
have registered below zero. Oh ! this is
a cold country. It is pleasing as wrdl as
surprising to note the progress of the
Northern Pacific country. The last time
(two years and a half ago) I passed
through Little Missouri it consisted of a
section house and a military cantonment.
This time I found in the midst of the Bad
Lands— the wildest looking country under
the sky—a considerable hamlet whose
buildings make up in quality what they
lack in number. There the Marquis de
Mores ha3 the headquarters of his North
era Pacific Refrigerator Gar company
which slaughters and ships 50 to 70 beeves
per day and is enlarging its abbatoirs to
accommodate several hundred carcasses
daily. From this place a tri-weekly stage
line carries passengers to the Black Hills,
and, as 1 was told by the superintendent,
A. T. Packard, does a good business. At
Little Missouri (Medora) I found Sam
English, formerly of Livingston ; he is not
doing much but he enjoys it immensely.
Jimmy Hannigan is there running a saloon
in partnership with Bob Roberts, another
man well-known throughout the Yellow
stone region. But I must drop Medora.
Dickinson is another town that has im
proved marvelously since last I saw it. It
is now no mean town. If I am not mis
taken more beef cattle have been shipped
this year from Dickinson than from any
other one station on the Northern Pacific ;
the number was about 13,000. A gang of
cow-boys who had not the fear of spiritual
or human law before their eyes, used to
come into Dickinson about once in so
often and fill the town so full of bullets
that several saloons there are now on record
as mineral claims. But that gang has
been suppressed—overgrown with hemp
—and Dickinson is peaceful «ad prosper
ous. At Dickius«m begins the mournful,
monotonous Dakota prairie ; Lord deliver
me from it !
They spy business is dull in St. Paul,
one would not suspect the fact on short
acquaintance. The city is improving
mightily. Mammoth brick and stone
bloccs are being erected in the business
portion of the city, and for miles around
the suburbs look like a new and prosper
ous Montana or Dakota town many times
magnified.
I met many faces here familiar from ac
quaintance in Montana. D. E. Fogarty is
here awaiting the moving of the waters—
tjio meeting of court in Qallatin county.
He is very confident that no punishment
wil( be meted out to him; he reasons that
no criminal intent existed or can be
proven against him, and that though the
national banking law is very stingent it is
not strict enough to make a crime where
none was .intended. Mr. George
N. Sumner is also here enjoy
ing city life from an easy standpoint.
Walter Cooper of Bozeman, P. J. QuegUy |
of Timberline, C. W, Thompson of the
N. P. Coal company and a Mr. Brown, a
coal operator of Iowa, are here in close
consultation. They give nothing away to
newspaper men but it may be stated as a
fact that their meetings mean something
important for the coal fields of Gallatin
county. Brown was up there last sum
mer to look them over. Queally leaves
to-day for New York. You remember
Sol Levinson who was at one time in the
wholesale liquor business in Livingston?
He is here in the employ of an establish
ment in the same business. Pat Flan-,
nery haa a fine saloon in the business por
tion of St. Paul and says he is doing a
good business. R. W. Chisholm, the
Twohy brothers, George N. Smi h and
others familiar to readers of the Enter
prise, bat of whom I cannot think at this
moment, may be daily seen on the streets
of St. Paul.
I met Hon. Martin Maginnis here yes
it
terday just as he was about to leave for
Washington. I asked him regarding the
probabilities of his appointment to suc
ceed Crosby as governor of Montana.
He said he did not believe that the
appointment would be tendered him and
he could not say that he would accept it
if it were in reach of his grasp; certainly
he should not unless with the express
understanding that as governor of Montana
he should be entirely free in his duties
from the unjustifiable interference of the
republican administration at Washington
while the administration lasts. I will
leave this afternoon for Chicago and thence
as quickly as possible for the "Hub of the
Universe," the city of culture, baked beans
and puritanism—Boston. H.
RaJLroad Note«.
The Northern Pacific has issued a cir

Governor John Evans, of Denver, has

vices in the evening. Every one cordially
invited to forenoon services.
There will be Episcopal services to
morrow (Sunday) morning and evening at
11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m., Bishop Brewer
conducting the same.
Through the Rockies.
A correspondent of the Toronto Globe
writes from Laggan, on the Canadian
Pacific, under date of October 9, as fol
lows: "The last five miles of the Kick
ing Horse Pass contained numerous en
gineering difficulties, which have been
surmounted. Here three tunnels, 275
360 and 500 feet long respectively, have
been pierced and excellently finished off.
Within this short distance the river will
be spanned four times by Howe trusses.
Indeed, so difficult did this appear that
old contractors laughed at the idea of
Mr. Ross' attempting to get the track
past it in 1884; but now the laugh is the
other way, for by the middle of October
the grading in the Rocky Mountains
will be finished; and the track will in
all probability be laid thirty miles be
yond the Kicking Horse Pass before Dec
ember. On the 28th of September the
locomotive was thirty-one miles down
the Kicking Ilorse Pass; by the middle
of October it will probably be ten miles
farther, and one month later twenty
miles more will be added to the distance
from the summit of the Rockies. The
prrojective point for the track this year
will be at the crossing of Beaver river
seventy miles from the summit. Early
in the season a toll road had to be con
structed, and over this crude highway
all the contractors and engineers, outfits
and supplies had to be packed on the
backs of mules over mountains, swamps,
rivers, across many a turbulent stream
and through many a dense forest."
!
* Cattle Stealing.
In Montana cattle stealing is an in
dustry of considerable importance. In J
alluding to this subject the St. Louis
Republican says: "Cattle raising is the
chief vocation in Montana and the
neighboring territories, but cattle steal
ing is a vocation not far behind it. And
the curious part of it is that there is no
region in the world where horse and !
cattle stealing is attended with greater
dangers. Detection is followed by cer
tain death. The life of a horse or cow
thief in that country is not worth the
price of twenty feet of inch rope.
There is very little judicial law in Mon
tana, but there is a good deal of con
crete justice, which, perhaps, is quite as
good. It is stated that fifty stock
thieves have been lynched in the terri
tory in the last six months. Seven were
hanged in a group in one spot at one
time a few weeks ago. And yet, in
spite of this summary way in dealing
with the thieves, the stealing business
continues to flourish. It extends over
areas hundreds of miles in extent from
upper California to the British line, and
from Oregon to the Missouri river, and
it is estimated that several hundred per
sons are engaged in it."

Illegitimate Enclosures.
In the case of the United States Gov- ;
eminent vs. The Brighton Ranch Coin- j
pany, Judge Brewer of the U. S. circuit j
court, at Omaha, has rendered a de
cision that the company has fenced in j
alxmt 52,000 acres of land belonging to
the government. Suit was brought by
the latter to compel the company to tear
down the fence. The decision of Judge
Brewer in effect is that the Brighton
Ranch company has no right to con
struct fences upon government land
and the government had absolute right
to have the fence removed, if it saw fit
to exercise that privilege; that the con
struction of fences upon government
lands was an obstruction and nuisance,
and the proper remedy was by a bill in
equity; and that, in fact, a bill in equity
was the only proper and adequate reme
dy in such case. He granted a tempo
rary injunction enjoining the defend
ants from constructing any additional
or cross fences upon lands enclosed by
them, but said he would await final
hearing before issuing a mandatory in
junction requiring the removal of all
fences. Thereupon Mr. Wool worth
took leave to file an amended answer,
by which the case will not be finally
heard at the present term of court.
This decision settles the law in that
circuit that cattlemen have no right to
enclose government lands for herding
purposes.
Salt Lake Tribune: A pathetic inci
dent at a New York voting place was
the death of Daniel Gildersleeve, aged
eighty-six, who would vote because he
thought it would be his last time, and

just before he reached the box, while
the crowd, that had made room far him
at the head of the line, were cheering
him loudly.
