Five Hundred Dollars Reward.

under the head Of Easter doings. Since
Saturday night the police force Of Butte
have been kept busy and have added

EVERYBODY remembers that Clarence
Earle and Johnny Tuckerman stoletwO
horses from the Lexington corral Thurs
day morning, March 9Th. They were
CAPTURED by John Rowand and Alex.
Ralston one hundred miles from Mis-
soula, and put in Jail Friday night,
March 18th, after long and expensive
but determined pursuit. Sunday morn
ing last it was discovered that they had
escaped, and q reward Of i've hundred
dollars was ut once offered for their re-
arrest. They had in some way secured
possession Of . brace and half inch bit,
and effected their escape by boring 25O
holes through the wood framework Of
the Jail. The inside frame is composed
Of 2x4 inch scantling, and the outside
wall of two thicknesses Of inch plank,
all Get crosswise. 1t must have required
two and half hours, at least, Of unin-
terrupted work to effect their egress.
That they had no outside assistance in
the act Of escaping itself is proven by
the fact that all these augur holes are
bored from within, but they must have
received external aid previously, else
they could not have secured the brace
and bit. How many of the prisoners
knew Of their efforts is not known.
They Offered to take John Doe, city
prisoner, with them, but he declined,
and has since become . free man in q
legitimate manner.

The guard must have been at fault,
but no one attaches blame to Deputy
Sheriff Fish, who says he will guard the
Jail himself rather than permit another
prisoner tn escape.

MISS PEARSON'S DEBUT.

Inc (lf8C OF the CLASSICAL OO0CerCS.
A very appreciative audience assem-
bled last night at Renshaw's Hall to
greet Miss I.eonOre Pearson in her first
appearance in Butte. Most Of them
listened with close attention to the vocal
and instrumental selections which were
about evenly divided and all well re-
ce'vcti. Some ladies' l.: the front row
it is true, did talk y go.sd deal, but
those around then, managed to hear
anyhow.
Miss Pearson sang 20 Milo Fernando"
from Donizetti, smoothly and with feel
ing and expression. Her voice is very
sweet and her attack easy and true. She
was evidently familiar with everything
She sang, and cannot but be pleased with
the equally evident pleasure Of those
who listened to her.
Miss Mcintyre was warmly greeted
ON her appearance, and sang with her
usual spirit and self-possession. Her
rendition Of "Whcn the Tide Comes In"
was graceful anil easy. A. an encore
she sang the popular when the Leaves
Begin to tn, II"
Mr.. Dellen's splendid voice was not
quite As clear as usual, but lie sang 20
ROleyt" with his accustomed strength
and magnificent chest notes. Mr.. Cilas.
l'enrOse also made his debut to Butte
audience in concert. and gave conclusive
assurance OF the culture If his method
and the feeling Of his expression. He
sang \ selection from the Italian opera,
and ~ enccr r. the always popular Last
Rose Of Summer" which never sounded
sweetcr. The orchestra trio from Troy
atOre carried off the instrumental hon
ors Of the evening. Indeed the new or
chcstra under Mr.. Speck's leadership,
may pride themselves on the hearty re-
ceptiOn Of the public, and may he as
surcd that they will again t,e welcomed
with enthusiasm and heard with appre-
citation. Mr.. Spcck's improvised piano
SOLO, descriptive Of the devil in the BEL
fry was magnificent and won him many
new laurels. As the last feature of the
programme Miss Pearson again appeared
and sang Aillartl's "Waiting," To
all who know that beautiful musical
poem it is unnecessary to say that it
came home to all Miss PearsOn's audi
tors. She interpreted its music and
made it y treat to all who listened, and
they were all present.
There can be no doubt of the success
Of the first Pearson concert, and large
house may be expected Thursday.

Curiosity Of the Law.

A queer ease was tried last week in

body Of Elias Icl'sis from one grave to
another ut the instance of Rose Evans,
formerly I.clsis' mistress, who wished
Lelsis' widow to mourn over an empty
grave. The jury disagreed.

10 Hold their Convention On the
18th inst.
Voters 70 tho Front and OolorG
11Ying.

Some forty persons were prssent last
evening ut the meeting Of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee In the court
room. Mr.. Ross Clark, chairman, called
the committee to order, Mr.. Sylvan
Hughes acting ~ secretary. Vacancies
were filed and the committee as st pres
eot constituted Is. composed # Messrs.
Ben. &. Kingsbury. lst ward; Stephen
Bynum, ind ward; Geof'fy Lavell, srd
ward and A. H. Barrel 18th ward, with
Charles A. Clark ~ committee man ut
large. 1t was resolved that there should
be four delegates in the convention from
each wartl. And just here it may be
stated that the members of the council
holding over are Milo French lst wa, d,
Republican; c. b. Houser, Democrat,
18th ward; Fisher, Republican, 3rd ward;
and Reins, Democrat, End ward.
The central committee fixed as the
time for holding the primaries next
Friday, the 14th inst, and for the date
of the convention itself, to-day week,
Tuesday, the 18th inst.
1t is thus apparent that the Democrats
Of Butte are confident in their own
strength and the glorious record Of their
party. They will nominate their can
dates before the meeting Of the Repub-
lican convention, and mean that right
and fair record shall triumph, and the
grand Id cause be victorious over any
aud all opposing candidates.
