QUARREL OVER SIXTY CENTS Entwhili Magnetic- Healers Dome to Trouble Orer a Email Sum. SCOOP SHOVEL AGAINST A REVOLVER S. .1. Tipton mill 1 II. Hendricks Have n IUmv Over .Money Dnrlnu Which the Latter Shoots the Former. During nu altercation over money mat tern yesterday aftornoon S. J. Tipton, a helper ir. the bolter room at tho Motor company's power house, came with an Inch of being dangerously wounded If not killed by Fullen II, Hendricks, who styles himself a magnetic healer. This dispute led to hot words, then to blows and Tlptou knocked Hendricks down with a well-directed blow of his scoop shovel. Hendricks struggled to bin feet and with an oath drew a revolver and fired nt Tipton. Ills aim was good, but fortunately for Tipton, the rovolvcr was not of heavy caliber. Tho ball penetrated his clothing, hut only mado an abrasion of the skin, slightly drawing tho blood. After the shooting Hendricks made his escape. Tho troublo between the two men, which nearly resulted in a tragedy, was tho sequel to a partnership between them In tho mag netic healing buoluess, Although today ho Is employed as u coal shovcler Tipton, not many months ngo, was known to local fame an Prof. S. J. Tipton, tho magnetic healer. Ho came to Council Blurt last September from Glcuwood and entered Into partnership with Hendricks, who had Just about that time graduated from n vendor of n. patent hog cholera cure Into a magnetic healer. HcndrlckB, 'while selling the hog cholera euro, lived on North Main street, but when ho branched out as a magnetic healer ho required moro luxurious quarters, so ho es tablished himself In tho two-story frame house at 252C West Broadway, next door to tho Bollinger hospital. To this houo Tip ton and his wlfo and ono small child camo when tho partnership was formed. A few days after his arrival tho following ad vertisement appeared In tho dally papera: "Profs. S. J. Tipton and Fullen Hondrlcks, lato graduates of tho Wcltmer method of magnetic healing. Infirmary nt Twcnty nlxth street and Broadway. They are pre pared to treat all diseases that human flesh is heir to." Honor Fnll tint. For a short time business prosporcd with them and then patlcntu began to fall off and tho partners commenced to fall out. Hendricks laid tho blame at Tlpton'a door, alleging that he had not tho magnetic heal ing power that ho claimed to possess. Tipton retaliated nnd assorted thnt Hendricks might havo nomo knowledge of how to cure swlno whon suffering; from cholera, but that ho knew absolutely nothing about healing tho Ills that human flesh is prone to. Tho result of all this quarreling was that tho partnership wan dissolved and Tipton, with his email family, moved to 2023 Ave nue D and later secured employment with the Motor company an a helper In the boiler room, where, whllo the work was less aris tocratic than that of healing by magnetism, It brought In surer means to feed himself and family. Hondrlcks remained on nt 2520 Broadway and continued to proclnlm himself to tho world as a magnetic healer. When Tipton nnd Hendricks parted company and settled up accounts the balance on tho ledger was against Tipton. Hendrlckn raid his partner owed him J10.C0, whllo Tipton declared ho was only Indebted to him In tho sum of 60 cents. It was this CO cents thnt led to the shooting yesterday afternoon. The Mlinntlnu. : Tipton was busy wheeling cinders from tho boiler house to tho dump outside when Hendricks approached nnd asked him for tho money. Tipton Informed him thnt ho was unnblo to pay It at that time. This did not satisfy Hendricks and shaking his flat In Tipton's face declared ho would havo the money. Tho magnetic healer did not got tho money, howover, but Instead a well directed blow from a scoop shovel squnro between the eyes that sent him with a thud to mother earth. Tipton says ho know Hendricks always carried n gun nnd believ ing ho was about to draw It preferred to tnko no chances, so knocked him down. Tipton then started, to go back to the bollor house, when Hendricks, who had risen to his feet with an oath, drow his gun and fired point blank at Tipton. Tipton dropped, exclaiming, "My God, ho has shot mo!" Tho sound of tho shooting attracted William Koby from the englno house, who after dis arming Hendricks assisted Tipton into the boiler room, Tipton was in an almost fainting condi tion and a hole In his coat showed where tho bullet had entered. Master Mechanic Tarklngton hastened to tho Bccno and after giving directions to call tho pollco hastened to examlno tho wounded man. As ho ro moveil Tipton's clothing tho bullet fell on tho stone floor of tho room nnd It was dis covered that the bullet after penetrating Tipton's coat. Juniper, flannel shirt and thick undershirt had had Its forco spent and had only nbrased tho skin. Tipton when he realized that ho was not shot com menced to rally and later was takon uptown to a physician, who gavo him something to restore his shattered nerves. During tho excitement that followed tho shooting Hendricks managed to effect bis escape It waB thought that he went to his house, but when tho police reached thoro they found tho door locked. They broke In tho door, hut nothing was to he seen of Hendricks, who, It is thought, believed ho had killed Tipton and had at onco hastonod to make himself scarce. Hendricks is a Virglnran by birth and has frequently boasted of his skill with tho rovolvcr and tho frequency with which ho used it when down south. DOINGS IX Till! DISTRICT COURT. W. S, Swiumuii In Grunted n Divorce from lllii Wife. In the district court yesterday Judg6 Smith granted W. S. Swanson a divorce from Glthca M. Swnnson. Tho caeo was moro Interesting than the usual run of di vorce proceedings, as thero wero somo rathor sensational features connected with ,lt.

WILL PROBABLY CAUSE A HARD FIGHT . ii in lie r of Menthprn Heelnre The WHI Xot Hack Down on Account of IndlKuntlon of Wuali liiKtmiyDclcKiitlon. DES MOINES, March 29. (Special Tolc gram.) Today n surprise was sprung In leg islative circles by the Introduction In tho houso by Anderson of Warren of a reolu i tlon proposing that tho house recall from i tho senate the resolution adopted last week protesting against tho Porto Rlcan tariff. This resolution went over under the rules, nnd Is expected to occasion a hard tight ir called up tomorrow. It has occasioned no little gossip because Inspired, ns everybody concedes, by political motives, Tho Kendall resolution condemn ing tho Porto Rlcan tariff la In the Benato federal relations committee, where It was expected to. sloop Itself Into oblivion, as a result of the Indignation It brought down on tho supporters . by tho Iowa delegation. Tho reading of the resolution this morn ing caused ai decided stir In the houso nnd thoro Is no doubt that It camo as a surprise to tho majority. Tho tulk of a number ot members after adjournment this noon showed determination on tholr part not to back down at th'ls late day becnuso tho dele gatlon at Washington nnd leading politicians of tho state desired them, fur party reasons to do do. They say" tho houso originally voted Its real convictions and should not now act tho part of cowards and mero party tools. They speak significantly of tho fact that Governor Shaw was In tho houso cham ber tho entire morning, tho longest visit he hna mndo this session, and ono of the very few, and that ho was for considerable, time In closo conference with tho man who sub sequently introduced tho resolution. Spcclnl AHKeftsmrnt 1 1 1 1 1 . This afternoon the senate passed tho spe cial assessment bill by a voto of 40 to 3. It provides a' plan which It Is hoped will meet tho present heed for such legislation, and net ns a temporary relief until the mu nicipal laws can be revised by tho next leg. Islnturc, as they probably will bo. The spe clal featuro of tho bill Is that It provldea that all special assessments must bo In pro portion to the btnotlts conferred on tho abutting property, which In no case shall exceed 23 per cent of tho actual valuo or tho lot or tract In question. If the assess ment isinsufllclent to pay the cost of Im provement tho city Is to pay It out of a funit provided therefor. The courts are to de cide all questions on appeal, Tho act ap plies to special charter cities also and has a publication clause. An amendment by Finch to make tho 25 per cent clause exclu sive of Improvements wea defeated und an other by Ball proposing to rcduco the benefit clause from 25 to lojpcr cent. Tho senate refused to take up tho houso school normal bill out of Its order on tho calendar, which Is tuken to mean the death of tho mcasllre at,-ythls serslon. A half dozen now bills vvyrn Introduced, cone of any particular Importance, however. Besides tho epcctal assessment bill tho senate passed the whys nnd means commlt teo bill designed Jtb strengthen the col lateral lnherltauretax laws of tho stnto by relieving the burdens of appraisement nnd I otherwise facilitating tho collection ot tho tax. Tho rame body passed, the bill legalizing pharmacy permits In tho state, knocked out samo as mulct petitions. Another measure passed the sennte today lis a ways and means committee bill en forcing a recommendation of tho stato Board of Control In Its recent biennial ro- port. It provides that It shall bo contrary , to law for any campaign funds to bo sollc- ' Itcd from any employes of tho State Board of Control.

VoIIiik MncJiliifN for Ioirn, The bill by Hawk, to provide for5 the use of voting machines In tho state passed tho houso by a voto of 83 to 8. The bill as drawn Is a long o(io and tho consideration of it consumed tho rntlre ninrnlnp- It wns carefully gone over, section by section and amended in a number of details. It pro- ' vldes that tho board of county supervisors of any county or the council of any Incor porated city or town may by a two-thirds voto authorize voting machines to bo used nt county, city, town and township elec tions and that thoVgovernor appoint throo commissioners, one' of whom shall bo an expert In patent law, and tho other two shall bo expert mechanics, to examine vot ing machines and regulato their use. Tho measure specifies JUHt how elections at which voting machines aro used shall bo conducted and makes the election laws In many details moro rgld. An indication that, tho senate Is not at all sure that It Is nearlng tho completion of Its duties Is tho fact that action on a motion j offered Monday by Senator Craig to give ccrtuln measures priority over others from this time on, wns deferred tcday until next Tuesday, Senator Craig's motion provides that i all bills emanating from or recom mended for pareago by the committees on ways and means, appropriations nnd re trenchment and refprm shall take prece dent from nowr until the closo of tho ses sion over anything olso on tho calendar. The house adopted the resolution by Bnkor to hasten tho work of tho session by tho appointment of n sifting committee of nlno: members who shall from now on have tho consideration of all but appropriation bills, j No bill not recommended by the committee shall be called up for consideration In tho houso without request of tho majority.

I'lirtlelpiinlH In the lloimh Justice of I Pioneer Diiyn. California has largo trees, but those of Montana nre peculiar unto themselves. Threo Montana trees In particular have noted individualities, reports the Butto Miner. One is In Alder gulch, where gold was first discovered In Montana and whoro tho Vlgllanto Society for Mutual Protec tion was organized with ex-IJnlted Slates Senator W. F. Sanders ns chairman. Upon this particular treo wero hanged about fif teen men, nil of whom wero duly tried nnd convicted. Tho treo was on an overhanging bluff near Baunack, nnd the victims simply fell over tho edgo, nnd wcro checked In their flight by n rope whoso other end wns fas tened to a projecting limb of tho oak. To this procedure Is duo tho unusual degree of law nnd order listing at Virginia City Tho r.ccond tree Is peculiar In that It Is tbo only one In a city of &0.000 people Butte tho great mining camp, from whoso mines Marcus Daly nnd W. A. Clark derive tho revenue to enrry on their expensive feud. This plno treo Is rapidly giving up its llfo to tho sulphurous fumes ot tho smelters which havo proved fatal to nil vogetatlon not In hothouses or conservatories.

In an other room Is to ho seen a dlfforent view of this treo with two men hanging In mid air from n convenient limb thereof. This treo Is ono ot tho landmarks ot Helena. Tho second view Is that of tho last execu tion In that city, In 1870, except by duo process of law. Prior to that year courts wcro of an uncertain quantity In Montana, yet no man met his fat on this treo without a public trial, at which the evidence of guilt was Incontrovertible, nnd from tho tlmo of tho discovery of gold In Last Cbnnco gulch In ISO 1. until 1870, from ono to two men annually suffered death by hanging on this tree, from which uncanny events It derived Its name "Hangman's Tree." Little now remains of this tree; In fact, Its stump Is barely discernible from Davis nnd Broadway streets. Between tho work of tho elements nnd that of persons In clined to enrry nwny a chip or brnnch, tho decayed stump nlono marks tho spot. Its first victim wns Coyoto Evans In 1863.
