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.
Tho palnttff, a well known resident of
(his city, whoso wife dlod some months
before, arranged with a Mrs. Aaron to keep
uuime ior nun anu wko cajo of his two small
I children. Mrs, Aaron was Just rocovcrlng
irom a severe Illness at tho Woman's Chris
tlan association hospital and was recom
mended to Mr. Swanson by Row Henry
DeLong. MrH. Aaron endeared herself to
tho children and won Mr. Swanson's ostenn
and respect by her circumspect behavior
and attention to the household duties. The
time came, however, when Mrs. Aaron de
cided sho must return to her home In Sioux
City. Mr. Swanson protested and finally of
fered his hand In marriage, which was ac
cepted. After a few months' of married
life Swaiison had occasion to object to his
wlfo's conduct with a boarder and a separa
tion ensued. Then Swanson mado certain
Inveatlgatlona which led him to suo for di
vorce od tae grounds that his wlfo had not
obtained a divorce from her former hus
band. After tho separation nnd pending the di
vorce proceedings Mrs. Swnnson occupied
tho home on North Klghth street until about
n week ago, when sho suddenly left, taking
-with her such furniture ns she did not sell
or otherwise dispose of.
In the divorce caso of Louise Haph against
William Itaph tho plaintiff was granted a
default yesterday.
Mrs. Sophia Peterson, who Is suing for
n divorce from A. P. Peterson, filed an
nmondmcnt to her petition In answer to
tho defendant's motion for n nnoro specific
statement as to tho alleged acts of cruelty.
Mrs. Peterson says In tho amendment that
her husband frequently refused to supply
her with necessary food, so thnt she suffered
weakness of hody nnd anguish of mind nnd
finally became lnsnne. Sho alleges further
that on Jnnunry 1 of Inst year ho forcibly
shut her up In a room full of coal gas nnd
this treatment made her violently III.

IOWA HOUSE IS SURPRISED
Resolution to Recall Porto K'oan Tariff
Protest.
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. At present tho paymont of tho j
funds only Is prohibited nnd tho board
wanted It to bo Impossible for any noil- I
tlclnn to. nppronefv. their employes with
propositions of tho tynd.
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

rested today and brought to Dos Moines
charged with bigamy. He has been living
with his second wife, n 17-year-old girl, for
a year. Tho first wife, deserted two or three
years ngo, makes tho complaint.
It seems that tho political row between
tho.MacVlcar and tho antl-MacVlcar forces
Is not yet nt nn end. There Is some ques
tion as to when tho old mayor shall go out
and tho new tako his spat, and as thero Is
two weeks' difference In tho contentions of

SIOUX CITY. March 29. (Special Tele
gram.) Thero Is a strong probability that
William Mclnt'yre, sentenced to forty years'
Imprisonment for tho murder ten years Bgo
ot William Oemlg of this city, Is Innocent
and that a woman, whoso nnmo has not been
disclosed, but who Is known to tho authori
ties here, committed the crime dressed In
tho clothes of tho man who was convicted
ot tho murder.
It transpired today that tho woman, with
others, was In Oemlg's home ou tho night
of tho murder for the purposo of robbing
tho old man, Chris Oemlg, who lived with
his son, William. Tho shack they called
homo was a poor ono, but It wns common
talk previous to the murder that sums ot
money wero secreted about tho place. When
the old man was aroused by tho presenco
of tho Intruders there was a scuffle. Wil
liam Oemlg was shot dead. Chris Oemlg
died of tho fright.
Mclntyro mado desperate efforts to escape
punishment, lie, broke Jail finally and
escaped Into Nebraska and died nt Fort
Madison nftcr being taken there on a scn-
tenco which was practically for life. Tho
ofllcers who mado tho arrest and tho former

fessed to the murder and that he said that
another man was concerned In tho crime.

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.
Over at Uelena, upon entering tho spa
cious too mn of tho Stato Historical society,
ono's eyo Is Instantly nttraqtevl by nn oil
painting of a plno treo, suspended from
tho celling opposite tho entrance. 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. Evans
deliberately shot down his partnor on Wood
street. In that city, was tried publicly and
hnnged boforo a crowd Inside of twenty-four
hours. Two other victims wore noted des
peradoes named Daniels and "Frenchy" In
ISfiO nnd 1S07 respectively.
