At a last night school board meeting South Side activists pressed for a high school in the South Main plan and warned they will oppose any other proposal without it.

In Londonderry on June 22 the inquest into William Kane's death proceeded then adjourned for a week. The city saw civil war continue with eight dead overall and troops guarding streets. Barricades rose, crowds marched with arms, a saloon was wrecked, and deliveries of foodstuffs remained at risk amid calls for martial law and reinforcements.

Special Dispatch to the Standard reports Alonzo Johnson, a local Black man, shot at the Northern Pacific depot and later killed by Under Sheriff T. J. K. Williamson and an armed posse in Deer Lodge.

The weapon, an Italian army rifle, was believed stolen.
Johnson was arrested in Anaconda on June 8 by Officers Beausolie and ONeill for creating a disturbance at the St. Lawrence. He ordered soda water, refused to pay after drinking it, and threatened to clean up the place. Police continue account on Page 3.
