Tkrows From Ills thirst. Near Whadden. arid Frozen to DAVI. 1,1 - 0;'t ' l was received here lel Norvel StItart„Thursday morning, that Frank Murray; IOM been killed near Wington. and Mr. and Mrs. Stuart went to Hel- ena in the aftertmon to take charge of the remains. A special to the. Herald gives the following details of Mr. Murray's sad death: The body of Frank P. Murray, of Helena, was foUnd this morning frozen stiff iii a snow drift between here and the Stray Horse mine: The Stray Horse oline is situated six miles up in the immitains from Winston, at the head of Weasel gulch. How thie ititat; met his death is not accurately known, as there were \ no eye'Witnesses to the affair, excepting the horse he was riding. The sur- mist*, which are based on 'circum- stsnees, are to the effect Obit the man met his death accidently, by being thrown from his horse, which . proba- bly stumbled and fell upon him. Mr. Murray left the Lone Horse mine yesterday at 2:30 on horseback for Winston As he did n'ot arrive this morning a messenger was dis- patched to look for hint. When within a mile trf the mink - the messenger found the horse standing in the deep snow with the body beside it covered with snow. There were absolutely no signs of a struggle. The snow was some- what beaten down by the horse walk- ing on it during the night. The body . was brought here as soon as possible after it was found, and an inquest will be held late this afternoen. After the inquest his remains will be sent to Helena for burial. The news of Mr. Murray's death came as a great shock to his many triends in this vicinity. He was a man of sterling qualities and one of the most prominent miniqg men in Jefferson -county.. In years' past he was largely ident;fied with the mines of this section and greatly aided in de- veloping the mineral resources of Wickes. Mr. Murray leaves a , wife and three children. the oldest child being butsix years old. To these the sympathies of the entire comintmity are directed. HeWas a member of King Solonnin lodge of Mantons, of Helena, of Eagle lodge of Odd Fellows, of Wickes, and of Capital lodge, of the Workmen, of Helena. He was insured for $2000 in the latter order. The funeral will take place in Helena, probably today row, and large numbers of Odd Fel- lows and other friends from Wickes will attend. —.ads se .411as--_ Jefferson Ripples. Mr. Luddy made a bosiness trip to Helena Friday, returning . Saturday. Mr. M. Steves recently sold his ranch to Win. Johnson. of Corbin. and intends going into other business. His many. Jefferson friends hone all of his undertakings will be crowned with success. Mrs. Sam N'aughti, of Corbin, was in Jefferson this week visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver. Three weddings are expected to take place in Jefferson immediately after Lent. Mr. Dailey, the industrious black- smith, works from early dawn to close of day. Work comes to him in plenty He keeps the anvil ringing: Early and late you find him A hammering and a singing. Casper Lehner made an extensive trip through the valley last week, to purchase stock. Casper is well known as one of the best judges of stock in MOntana. We called on the blacksmith the other day. He says he is taking orders for the never slip shoes(?), in case of back sliding in the near fnture. Baptism took place in4 Jefferson last Sunday. Five received the sacrament. (Inc of the older converts was taken suddenly ill; a doctor was summoned, who -much dispaired of the man's life for a time. - Dr. Rudd, of Jefferson, called last Friday, looking hale and hearty. He came over on business connected with the commissioners. The doctor stated that he had found the double set of harness that was stolen from him about the time of the Wickes holdup. minus the collars. They were in a sack in an outbuilding, and appar- ently had never been .used after being stolen. Boulder Sentinel.

Senator Allen. of Nebraska, did r very unusual thing when he present( d %-• Dr. W. M. BULLARD '1 'I ,, limist 4 and • Toxicologist the ultimatum of the populist senab rs said that if the republican* would agree to vote for an amendment to the bill providing for the free coinage of silver the populist senators would fur- '41 mush the votes needed to put the amend- •:‘ ed bill through the senate. Of •cotirse Senator Allen knew that his proposal Would not be accepted, and he probably made it only for the purpose of taunt - tug the republicans who were already in a bad humor because of the refusal of free silver republicans to support the tariff bill. Senator Carter's explatiatiim of why he and four other silver republicans refused to vote for the house tariff bill was far more satisfactory to the poptt lists, and silver senators on both sides of the chamber,. than it was to the other senators. He was especially bit- ter di what he said of President Cleve- land and what he called his republican supporters in the senate. The talk on Cuban ;ittairs in' con- gress has brought a powerful Spanish lobby to Washington, for the purpose of either trying to head off any action or to make the action taken meaning- less so far as it will commit this gov- ernment in favorof the Cubans. Spain is said to be hard up, but it seems to have money enough to hire an army of spies scattered .throughout the United States to watch everybody sus- pected of strongly sympathizing - with the Cubans, and to maintain .a lobby in Washington Which is . spending money freely to influence the opinion of congressmen. The friends of Cubit, in congress, are expressing the opinion that members of the administration are much more zealous in placing U.S, officials under the orders (lithe Spanish minister, to capture alleged tillibus- tering parties bound for Cuba, than is actually necessary to strictly maintain the nefitrality . laws. • \He laughs best who laughs last\ is ancient, but it is none the less applica- ble to the present i sittlation in the senate. The republicans have been doing considerable laughing at the democrats because of the financial differences between the Cleveland wing and the silver wing of the party; but the democrats had their laugh when the open _split between the gold re- publicans and the silver republicans took place on the floor of the senate this week, showing that it Waa but another instance of \the pot calling the kettle black\ for either of the old parties to Laugh at the other on account of financial differences. However, it was nuts for some of . the democrats to hear Seijattor Morrill, apparently fol- lowing the advice lately given by Secretary Carlisle, by trying- to read the silver men out of the republican party, and Senator Teller replying, that although the silver men could get along- without the party better than the party could get aloog without them, they did not intend to allow themselves to be read out because they declined to change their financial views to accord with those held by the Cleveland democracy and the Morrill republicanism of the country. He said the silver men would stay in the repub- lican party until they got ready to get out. The A. P. A. won a decided victory this week when the house amended the Indian appropriation bill by providing that none of the money therein appro- priated should go to Catholic Indian schools. It is a question whether the senate will strike out that amendment. The senate has already shown, by confirming the nomination of Gen. Coppinger, that a majority of its mem- bers are opposed to the A. P. A.; but sudden changes are not unknown in that body. The limited chances that a bill fa- vorable to the building of the Nicara- gua canal with government assist- ance, either direct or by guarantee of the canal company's bonds, had to get through congress at this session have been materially lessened by a dete mined crusade against the canal under any consideration. on the ground that it would, if constructed, be more of a menace to the peace of the United States than a benefit commercially. The friends of the canal still express confidence that a favorable bill will pass the house and the senate; but that is just what they are here to say. This new crusade may or may not have any more substantial backing than the desire of the owner of the New York Herald to get notoriety for his paper. but it will all the same influence nine men out of every tell who were in doubt to declare against the canal. To that extent the crusade will he a factor in the situation. Electric Bitters.
