Shepard & Siems' mail carrier does net call at Columbia Fella for mail and consequently the laborers along the line who have had their mail ad- dressed to this office do not see it at all. Many kicks reach eTFIE COLUM- BIAN office about the awful mail ser- vice along the railroad extension. C. F. Sully arrived home on Tues- day afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Sully, whom he met at Missoula. The journey from Bayern to Colum- bia Falls was made in fourteen hotirs, via the Egan route. Mr. and Mrs. Sully made, perhaps the best time le Columbia Falls that has been made over the route. Many tons of freight are being un- loaded at Egan, and come over the \Cut off\—as the new Egan route is now called. Nett \week stages will be put on 1)etween Egan and Colum- bia Fulls, and passengers can arrive in this city at 5 o'clock the same day they leave Revell This makes the time fourteen . hours between this city and the railroad, and greatly reduces JOHNNY BUTLER KILLED. _ Shot Through the Heart by \Black Tom\ Whiten. et Demersville. Demersville was the scene of a sen- sational killing last Monday night, by which Johnny Butler, a gambler well known in the Flathead country, lost his life. Toni Whiten, a barber known as \Black Tom,\ committed the crime with a Winchester rifle. Quite a number of stories were for a time afloat regarding the killing, and from them THE COLUMBIAN has selected a version that appears cor- rect in n11 t•F.tionfitt1S. Monday afternoon Butler and Whi- ten played pool from 2 o'clock until nearly 5. The game ended in a quar- rel and the men separated. After supper—about 7:30 Butler was in the club saloon standing at the bar with some friends when Whiten entered. The querrel of the afternoon was re- nawed, and Butler called Winton sev- eral very uncomplimentary names. Whiten left the house saying to But her, \I'll fix you.\ Whiten then went to his room about twenty-five yards to the rear of the Club saloon, and returned in a few minutes carrying a Winchester rifle. He did not go into the Club saloon but stood in front of the open door, gun in hand. Butler's attention was attracted to Win and ho started toward the door. When within about four feet of Win- ton, Butler started to pull a revolver from his pocket. Before he could get it out Whiten lowered the Win- che itor and discharged it.: The ball passed through Butler's heart, clear through his body and penetrated two walls of a heavy ice box. Death was instantaneous. Winton was immediately arrested and placed in jail. There was for a time sonic talk of lynching him, bat the advice of the cooler men prevailed and the law will be allowed to take it course. Whiten was a character well known in the Flathead and Ceeur d'Alene regions. He was turbulent and has had a number of rows. Butler was a faro dealer and had lived in Demersville but a few months. Court Cases. The following have been docketed sot for hearing in Judge Lewis' court: Kennedy vs. C. M. Shepard, July 31. State vs. J. II. 'Mosher, August 3. State vs. James Brown, not set. The machinery for the sash and door factory has arrived at Ravalli and will be on the ground in a few days. It is to be a part of the Great Northern Lumber Cos. big plant. Major Baldwin, of the Whitefish, was a caller at Turn COLUMBIAN office to -day. He has just returned from an extended eastern trip, and says that many people will come to the Flathead as soon is harvesting is Over. Citizens living on Whitefish creek to the number of fifty have signed a protest against permitting the cut- ting of timber as proposed by the - Butte & Montana Commercial com- pany in its application. The protest, sets forth, that the land is agricul- tural in character and that the area over which the permit is desired is filled with actual settlers. The bank at Columbia Falls to be started just as soon as the safe and stationery arrives, will be in charge of Henry Read, a well known mem- ber of the banking circle of Butte. The final arrangements for the start- ing of the institution have been per- fected, and its doors will be opened within two weeks if possible. The stockholders of the new bank are prominent in the financial world, and the list includes such names as Sam- uel T. Hauser, A. B. Hammond, F. G. Higgins, Lucien Warner, L. C. Trent and others. From the tone of a letter received in this city from Miss Hord, county superintendent of schools, it would appear that she regards the matter of a school hero quite unimportant. Some superintendents would investi- gate the matter, and Miss Hord should take the trouble to inform her- self upon the needs of the Upper Flathead country. There are forty children of school age within the town limits of Columbia Falls, and double that number in the territory that would naturally constitute a dis- trict. On Sunday it was rumored that J. J. Hill anti Peter Siems would pass through Columbia Falls over the line of the Great Northern extension either that day or the next. Monday it was discovered that perhaps the rumor was unfounded. At any rate Mr. Hill did not appear. Mr. Beck- ler and Mr. Shns were up the line on Sunday, but were not accompanied by the Great Northern magnate. just when Mr. Hill is to make his tour of inspection is not known, but it luts been stated that it will be within the next two or three weeks. People of the Flathead have been disappointed so often that they are nearly used to it. THEY WANT 31111e Railroad Builders After the News -- Progress of Work. To TIIE EDITOR—Will you be kind enough to listen about one-half a minute to my wail. There several of us here and in this vicinity who want to get the news from the out- side world once or twice a year. Now there never was, so far as 1 can learn, but one paper got through from Havre to MeCarthyville, and that was a last year's issue of Zion's Herald, and it was badly torn up the back and all the best sermons plucked out. The truth is, if I may be allowed the expression, that you might as well try to get a railroad man in heaven as a paper to run the gauntlet from Havre to Mill City through that grab bag. This camp is about nine miles west of MeCarthyville on the main road, and at the first crossing of Big river. The framing is all done for this struc- ture'. Jerry Langan hen just com- menced the raising, and he will waltz around the job in about four weeks, though it is 150 feet in height and contains 700010 feet. The mill of the Butte Lumber Co. has finished 'sawing timber for the next bridge below, and the framing crew will move there soon. All the bridging on this side of the summit is about finished to this point, and the Porter Bros. are bound to keep out of the way of the track if men and money can do it, and I guess it can from the way they are swinging themselves. The grading from here to the summit is nearly done, and when Palmer & Lowry lets the train over Two Medicine bridge, they will have to chase us clear into the Pa- cific. Say, how long was it anyhow, that the other storm lasted before Mr. Noah built his boat? It rained forty- two days last month and is coming dovat yet in good shape. I don't want to start any scare but I am get- ting a little leery of this shower. Respectfully Yours, BLATHERS KITE NEE. The First Trial. The first trial in Columbia town- s hip was held last Monday, and drew a large crowd, many persons attend- ing to give Judge Lewis the compli- ment of a good audience. Another drawing card was the fact that the case was unusually spicy. August Urbach, a half-witted fellow, was arrested on charge of disturbing the peace. The complaining witness was Mrs. Lendt, time divorced wife of Ur- bach. The case brought out all the soiled linen of the \divided house\ which added to the continuous spar- ring of the attorneys, gave the case more sensational features than it seemed to deserve. After the exami- nation of about a dozen witnesses and arguments, Judge Lewis adjudged Urbach guilty and gave him the least penalty provided, $5 and costs. Urbach was not loaded with money but by Tuesday noon he had rustled enough to pay the costs, which amounted to something over $10. During Monday four other cases were commenced, and for a time there will be plenty of business. Judge Conlin has his first. case to- day, a civil action. A new boat about twenty feet long, with a stern wheel and hand power was launched yesterday for the pur- pose of a trip to the South Fork. It was a howling success going down stream, but hand power would not make much headway against the current. George P. Martin has opened a first-class jewelry store at Demers- ville. Repairing promptly attended to. 0 Concert anti Ball. The enjoyable event of last week was the concert and dance given on Friday evening by Prof. N. P. Neil- sen. The concert programme com- prised pretty songs rendered by Mrs. Neilsen, and violin solos, with piano accompaniment, from the professor, who is an expert on the former in- strument. Every one present voted the opening portion of the evening's entertainment decidedly pleasant, but when the music of waltz, polka and gehoft•ische greeted their ears later the quiet enjoyment of the previous hour was completely forgotten in the exhilaration of the dance. Weary feet rested for a time between twelve and one while the merry makers refreshed themselves at the tables of the Col- umbia hotel, where a tempting lunch was spread in a most inviting style. The professor's music was too seduc- tive to admit of adjournment at that early hour, so back to the hall went the majority and danced until 3 o'clock.
