A Washers Mistake.

A "biscuit shooter" at one of our
high-tonef hotels yesterday made
himself the butt of considerable ridi-
cule by heing a little too previous.
One of the artistes now playing at
the Opera House, dined at the table
owe which the young man presided,
and having a half dollar in her hand,
when she came in, laid it on the ia
BILE by her plate, and thought moth
ing further Of it until she
had reached her room. The
waiter seeing the coin. fell into the
very natural error of thinking she
had left it as a token OF appreciation
of his efficient attendance, and was
proudly showing it to the other wait
ers, when, just as he exclaimed, "Oh,
[ guess mott" ooh no; 1 amt a
masher" a silvery voice at the door
asked, SCI n1lemen, didn't [ leave
half q dollar on the table :" The
crestfallen ''masher" restored the
piece to it's fair owner. and is bearing
the jibes of the boys with becoming
humility.

Bitten by a Rattlesnake.

A popular bibatory at Glendive
maintains 4 menagerie of beasts and
reptiles Tor the editicatfon of its pa
tlors. Among recent additions to
the collection was a huge rattlesnake
which was confined in a cage GOV
cred by a wire net top. A town
character who is known by the
euphonious cognomen OF Jerry De
Bum sauntered into the saloon one
day last week and thoughtlessly
leaned against the cage with his arm
resting upon the wire netting. His
snakehip resented the familiarity
and darling his fangs at the intruder
buried them deep into Jerry's arm.
At last accounts, although still in a
precarious condition, it vas thought
the mar might recover. The physi-
clan was confident of being able to
eradicate the prison but feared that
gansrene might set in which would
urOve fatal.

BY BLOOD.
Flight and Capture Of George
Pearson, the Haley MUIR
derer.
A Diet of Bull-fro9s and Berries.

George Pearson, who escaped from
the HALEY Jail while under sentence
of death. for the murder of Johnny
Behind-the-Rocks at Vienna last
fall, an account of which was pub
lished in the MINER at the time of
the escape, has been recaptured on
lower Squaw creek, Idaho. He had
been free for about three weeks, dur
ing which time he had but little OPP
portunity to enjoy life, as eagle-eyed
detectives were tracking him day
and night. The Idaho World of the
7th inst. contains an account of the
capture, by which it appears that the
officers from Boise City struck the
fugitive's trail at Jordan's bridge on
Sunday morning, Sept. I'd, and on
the next night captured him on
Squaw Greek. It was very dark and
the officers were within a few feet of
him before he saw them. Pearsons
said if they had been 20 minutes later
he would have been all right-said
he intended to leave the road
and take into the hills a short dis
lance ahead. He said he had a Sc
vere time IN trying to regain his free
dom, and suffered indescrible hard
ships and privatiohs. He travelled
300 miles on foot, through the rough
est kind of country, and most of the
distance was made by night. He was
five days without anything to eat ex-
cept a bull-frog, which he ate raw,
and for two days he lived on berries.
This was between HALEY and Cape
Horn. He says he was not only at
the point of starvation, but nearly
Gagged out" and ~footsore. When
he escaped he was poorly clad; and
had on a pair of slippers, which were
cast off after traveing a short
distance, and while walking
over rocks his feet were lacerated and
he could have been tracked by the
blood. Somewhere on his route he
picked up a pair Of boots or shoes
which were about worn out when he
reached Placerville. Just after
breaking Jail he took to the brush a
short distance below HALEY, and men
the lant of him passed within ten
feet of him. This was before he got
rid of his irons. Pearsons is under
sentence of death, but notice of an
appeal to the Supreme Court was CIV
at the last term of the District
Court for Alturas county.

Renshaw Opera HOUSE.

The Leonard Grover company
played to another large house last
night, and the repetition Of "Our
Boarding House" was received by
the audience with marked evidences
of approval. The Growers enjoy the
distinction of being the first compa~
ny which has played in Butte to uni
formly good business for three sue
cessive nights. Their success is large
" due to the ~evervescent humor of
the play, but the peculiarly popular
style of humor which characterizes
all the productions of Leonard Gro
yer Sr, could only be brought out and
presented in an effective setting by
the high order of histrionic ability
which characterizes the Individual
makeup of the Leonard Grover COM
pany. At the matinee this afternoon
"Lispet the Tom-boy" will be pre-
sented, and tonight the great COM
edy my Son-in-law."

POTTER.
Additional Light Thrown Upon
His Mysterious Disap-
pearance.

A MINER reporter yesterday wend-
ed his way to the abandoned shaft Of
the Valley mine, expecting to find
there a force of citizens diligently
dragging the water filled shaft for the
remains of A. d. Potter, or possibly
the stark and dripping corpse as it
was dragged from its watery grave,
stretched upon the sward at the
mouth of the dismal-looking chasm;
but he was disappointed. Not a man
was in view, and the old shaft looked
as deserted as Potter's home, and the
chaxm yawned as ~lnnoceDtly as If it
had never been suspected of carrying
within its dark recesses the secret Of
e>terrible tragedy. Returning to the
city, 8: yeral persons who had inter-
ested themselves in the search were
met, who stated that the evidence now
seemed so clear that Potter had
skipped out, the search for his e.
mains had been abandoned. Mr..
Weatherwax. who resides near the
Po.ters, and at whose house Potter
and his wife spent Thursday evening,
was interviewed, and from him it
was learned that On Friday morning
at half past six o'clock Potter stopped
at his house, dinner bucket in hand,
and said he was going to work at the
Anaconda mine, but he didn't act
like a man that was anxious to get to
his work, as he fingered until about
Z O'clock, talking about his plans and
asking for Information about the de-
parture of trains. Notwithstanding
it has been ascertained that he drew
his pay on the day previous, he tod
Mr.. Wea,herwax that he intended to
draw his pay on that dag friday
and that he was going to
Silver Bow. and maybe farther,
carrying the impression that matters
were not just right at home and he
intended to absent himself for a week
or ten days Ito see how my wife will
take it," He also intimated that he
was gong to cheat" somebody; upon
which as he was carrying a revolver
belonging to Mr.. Weatherwax, that
gentleman asked: "Well you amt
going to beat me out of THAT revolver
are YOU ?n ION no. said Potter, oil
bring it to you Tomorrow" Mr.
Weatherwax knew nothing of his
having already drawn his pay. ex.
pected to meet him again and thought
nothing further of the matter. He lett
the house about Z O'Clock and that
is .tbe last obtainable trace OF his
movements In Butte; but a man
named Joseph Tuner who has been
employed AS a cari'enter in the vicln-
ity of Silver Bow came up yester ay,
and he says he knows Potter well
and saw / i'm at the Silver Bow depot
on -unday morning and that he was
looking for a job and thought OF go.
ing owe to Glendale. In view OF
these facts it seems there has been a
good deal OF unnecessary pothel
about Putter's disappearance and the
public may u w size the maj up ac'
cording to their individual estimates
of the motives and actions with
which he is credited. Should ne
carry out his expressed Intention O
returning in a week or ten days
which is extremely doubtful, he viii
probably find that those estimates
have not been extremely altitudlnous

LOST ON TUE
Terrible Experience OF Two Pic
nickers in a Storm On
Granite Mountain.

A letter from Glendale to the
MINER says:
son Wednesday morning, the 10th
Of September, Mr.. S. r. Wagner, a
dentist from Dillon, in company
with his wife, stated from Hecla to
walk up Granite mountain. About
noon a heavy snow storm set in and
the mountains were soon enveloped
in dense clouds and the party did not
return on the 18Th. A party of about
forty men started in search of the
lost ones. The facts were telephoned
to Glendale and a party started from
here up Cherry creek and another up
Canyon creek, which both head
above Hecla. Up ito 9 p. m. 10 It'd
ing were received but it was ascer-
taiaed that a tremendous rock slide
had occurred ON the sideof the noun
tain where the parties were likely to
to have been, and it is now feared
they were engulfed in the awful mass
which IS estimated to consist of mil
lions of tons of rock. Wagner, and
his wife were both poorly clad for
such exposure, having nothing but
their summer clothes on and it rained
sufficiently to wet them through, af-
ter which several inches Of snow fell
and the night was very cold. They
had a small luncheon with them Tor
dinnec."
A special dispatch dated Glendale
September 14th, says: "Wagoner and
wife came in at II o'clock noon after
being lost on the mountain more
than two days. suffering terrible
hardships, and exposed to the snow
and rain storm in their thin gar
ments." Those who are familiar
with Granite Mountain say they
must have suffered great hardships.
The mountzin is exceedingly rugged,
traversed by precipitous ravines and
subject at this season to the most vic.
lenL wind and snow storms, with no
game, fish or other means of suosist-
ence, and the pangs Of hunger were
probably added to the sufferings of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner. They are
to be congratulated: upon escaping
from their periloas adventure with
their lives.

An Adage as OLD as Escuiapius
and His Flowing Beard.
The GrOund-F1OOr.

The sudden changes Of tempera-
ture that are incident to this particu-
lar season of the year in this latitude
make the matter of suitable clothing
one OF the greatest Importance from
q hygienic standpoint, and there's
probably nothing pertaining to the
same as essential as the
LIGHTWEIGHT ovERCOAT.
Gan ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" is an adage as old
perhaps as Esculapius and his flow
ing beard, but this fact is perhaps the
best proof of its wisdom.
We mentioned the matter of light
weight o%vercoats yesterday, and we
do so again to-day. 1t is true these
references are a matter of business
with us, but this does not in the least
detract from the value of cur sani-
tary remarks. This is a matter of
business with us because we have a
large and elegant stock of overcoats
as well as other clothing, and
we bought them to sell, not
to keep. While this is true,
if we can't make it to your advant
age to buy Of us we don't desire to
sell. Ii you are not already supplied
an investment of a very few dollars
will complete your wardrobe in this
respect.
We still have a large assortment
of mems Atwood cashmere pants at
$500, and they are by all odds the
best bargains of the kind ever offered,
unless we except our mems suits at
$500 and $1,000.
In the matter of
UNDERWEAR
We occupy the ground floor. In
buying we make three things count:
Cash, quantity and our large ex-
~perience. In selling, not only as
these items count, but we make the
smallness of our profit count advan-
tageously to you, and to ns, because
of the increase in the volume of bus
mess it brings. Think about these
things. u
Very.respectfully,
