J. G. Batea, piano tuner, 223 Maine st. I Price and who ran out of Helena one time. His brother is Frank Burns, state boiler inspector.

He was an oiler under Heslop at the refinery, who is claimed by Burns and his friend? of being jealous of Burns on account of Burns being an experienced engineer. Heslop is said to have threatened to do Burns up before and after their meeting Saturday night on the street. Their meeting 'this morning was about the same as mentioned on the Anaconda page. Burns' friends claim Heslop held the hose and knife in his Quality wholesome ind delicious US. 1 Absolute! Purs ROVAL BAKING POWDER NEW YORK.

and asked for instructions. What they were is well enough known. There was a protest on the part of many officials-naval and military, as well as civilian. Long and other cabinet chiefs heard the criticisms, and in a quiet way felt the pulses of the departments. Captain Evans, who was a member of the lighthouse board, was a caller at Secretary Long's office.

"What' do you think of Sicard's action?" asked the secretary, so the story goes. "I hear many criticise it." "Well, he acted in the line of his duty," replied Evans, diplomatically, "but I think I know who would have done otherwise." "In what respect?" "They would have headed their squadron for Havana, and reported to you that they had assumed control of affairs, pending an examination, and would hold the city to indemnify this country in case the inquiry fixed the responsibility, for the damnable affair upon the Spanish government or authorities." "Such a proceeding would have beeri high-handed and in violation of international law. The administration would have been very angry with Admiral Sicard and would have disciplined him severely if he had taken such action," objected Long. "No doubt the administration would have been very angry, and doubtless also Sicard would have been severely disciplined," Captain Evans is reported as saying, "but he would have been the next president."

The probability now is that the vote on the Hawaiian matter will be reached about Thursday or Friday of next week, after which congress will at once adjourn. The senators have been working hard at the war department to secure full equipments for the Grigsby regiment at Chickamauga. Advices from Col.

Lloyd say that they are now receiving all sup plies and will be in good shape in a day or two. Senator Mantle made another contest on the senate floor Saturday to retain his amendment for the site for a public building at Butte. The senate stood by him and voted to insist on the amendment. However, it is doubtful whether the house will concur. Senator Mantle is very anxious to get home for the Fourth of July, but the Butte postoffice bill and the one relating to the holding of terms or tne ieaeral court in Montana are detaining him and will probably prevent his being there for the big celebration, i He is also s-t ill endeavoring to secure the acceptance of some of the numerous troops and companies which have been tendered the government by Montana men.

Washington, June 28. After transacting business of minor importance, the senate today took up the Hawaiian annexation resolution, and Caffery resumed his speech opposing the iesolutions. Rome, June 28. The whole population of Rieti, 42 miles from here, was panic stricken by two severe shocks of earthquake early this morning. Many buildings were damaged.

At Ca.stel Franco the earthquake injured a number of people and killed one child. DID SI CARD MISS A CHANCE? Chicago Times-Herald: Around official Washington a story is told concerning an interview between Captain Evans and Secretary Long of the navy the day after the Maine was blown up. Naval officers those who take the initiative were inclined to believe that Admiral Sicard should have knocked at Morro's door as soon as he could steam to Havana. Si-card was at Dry Tortugas with his squadron. One was to Key West, where he would find telegraphic communication with Washington.

The other was to Havana, where there was also telegraphic communication, but perhaps more difficult to obtain. Sicard, flying the signal of inquiry, laid his course to Key West When a Victim Calls, the Button is Pressed A "LADY" THIEF RESPONDS New Phrase of the Grafting: Business Brought to Liht in the Court. The trial of Edith Sommors, charged with having robbed John McAllister, a miner, of $115 in her den on East Galena street, a few weeks ago, was resumed in Judge Clancy's court this morning. The testi mony had nearly all been submitted yesterday, however, and there was not much left in this line. Following a little testimony in rebuttal, Mr.

Connolly of the county attorney's ofiice, began his argument. After referring to the position the accused woman occupied In this life, he said "The evidence goes to show that Pete Hansen, one of the witnesses for the defense, runs the Turf Exchange. It further shows that the Turf Exchange and all the cribs in that vicinity are connected by electric wire. It may be that the wire is for the purpose of ordering drinks, but I assert that it is for a double purpose. It is for the purpose of sending word to Hansen's place that some man has been unfortunate enough to drop into one of the dens presided over by these women.

Just think of it! Every shack in that hole of iniquity connected with Pete Hansen's place by electric wire!" Mr. Connolly hauled Hansen over the coals in elegant style, and Hansen sat in the back part of the room with his head down and listened to it. The prisoner sat near the railing, and with that brazen effrontery characteristic of her class, listened and looked daggers at the speaker. Her air throughout was one of defiancy. Mr.

Connolly was followed by J. L. Wines for the defense. He said there had been no evidence in the case to show that Hansen, the prisoner or any of those who had given testimony were leading a bad life. Because they were tending bar in Galena street was no reason why they were necessarily tough.

He spoke about fifteen or twenty minutes, after which Mr. Connolly again spoke a few words and the case was given to the jury. At a late hour this afternoon the jury was still out, and It looked as if no verdict would be reached before the time for serving supper. The prisoner put in the waiting time walking around through the building and appeared to be less concerned than anyone. A FIREBUG FRUSTRATED.

A VILLAINOUS EFFORT TO FIRE A BUILDING. A dastardly attempt was made at an early hour yesterday morning to st fire to the house occupied by Mrs. James Layro at No. 300 East Park street. The attempt failed because of the noise made by the miscreant, which aroused one of the inmates, Wm.

Hughes, who stepped out of his room in time to see the fellow with a. lighted candle in his hand, pouring coal oil about the wails. Mr. Hughes tried to detain the fellow until he'p arrived, but was unable to do so. Mrs.

Layro is at a loss to know who the perpetrator of the crime could have been. She thinks it is somebody who has a grievance against the owner of the property. WAS A BAD SCRAPE. Special to the Inter Mountain. Anaconda, June 28.

They employ none but skilled union labor, have an abundance of material, figure on and give bonds to perform any work given them. Fair figures can only be obtained where there is fair competition.

MINESAND MINING Ex-ITnited State3 Marshal William McDermott of this city and his brother, Peter McDermott of Los Angeles, have bonded some gold properties in the Bull Run mountains, Elko county, Nevada, upon which they intend to do considerable work this year. The consideration was $150,000, and the deal was engineered by W. A. Kelly of this city.

The properties were located about two years ago. The ore is free-milling and will cyanide. A big mill will be erected this season to work the ore. BOSTON MONTANA. Boston News Bureau: There is no truth in the reports that the Boston Montana is either producing or is about to produce 90,000,000 pounds of copper per annum.

With the improvements that have besn and are being made, the Eos- Montana could, with the aid of the Butte Boston concentrator, produce pounds of copper per annum, but at that rate of production the company would only have four years of opened reserves and such an output would make a considerable draft upon them. Present production is understood to be 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 per month. MINING NOTES. The Republic mine in the Colville reservation has been bonded in the sum of $3,000,000 on a 30-day option and it is said that the expiration of that time the bond will be lifted. Work has been temporarily suspended on the Sunrise claim m-ar the Mayflower, awaiting news from the London owners.

The shaft on this property will be developed 700 feet. The rich shoot of ore at the Mayflower has "petered out," but development work is in progress. CONTRAST OF WORTH. This is a true story of an office boy who asked for an increase of his salary, and got it. He is employed in one of Lipton's shops in Glasgow.

He was getting eight shillings a week, and he thought he ought to have more. So he asked the superintendent, and the superintendent referred him to the manager, and the manager leaned back in his chair and said: "You must see Mr. Lipton himself. He regulates all raises in salary." After a week of disappointment the boy succeeded in gaining admittance to Mr. Lipton's ofiice.

With shaky voice he asked for a raise in salary. "How long have ycu worked here?" asked the millionaire. "Four years." "And how much are you getting?" "Might shillings a week." "How old are you?" "Fifteen years old." "Why," returned Mr. Lipton, "when I was your age I was working for four-and-tdxpence a week, and I thought I was well paid. What do you think of that?" "Perhaps you weren't as valuable a boy as I am," was the respectful reply.

The boy got his raise. Weekly Telegraph. MAKING IT WORTH WHILE. An Irishman, walking over a plank sidewalk, in counting some mon-ey accidentally dropped a nickel, which rolled down a crack between two of the boards. The Irishman was much put out by his loss, trilling though it was, and continued on his way swearing audibly.

Early the next day a friend, while walking by the spot, discovered the Irishman In the act of deliberately dropping a dollar down the same crack through which he had lost his nickel. The friend was, of course, much astonished at what he saw, and desiring to learn why I'at should deliberately, to all appearances, throw away money, Inquired his reasons, imd was fairly taken off his feet by the following lucid explanation: "It was this way," said Pat. "It's yesterday I was for passin' this way when I lost a nickel down that bole. Now I r'asoned that it wasn't worth me while to pull up that sidewalk for a nickel, but last night a scheme struck me and I'm dropping the dollar to make it worth my while." hand as a pretense to cover the actual use of the weapon with which the stabbing was done. Burns was stabbed twice, once below the heart, penetrating the lung and cutting the eighth, ninth and tenth costal cartilage, the other on the left side about four inches long, proving his antagonist was after him with a vengeance.

Burns cannot recover. Heslop formerly lived at Rochester, Minn. Burns is a single man. His relatives reside at Rochester, N. Y.

County Attorney Trinpet is watch- i ing the case closely, lie will take Burns' dying statement unless an Improvement comes quickly. CHEAP RATES FOR JULY 4.
