How to Run a Slow Race.
Texas Siftings.l

Two sporting characters, A and B, pro-
posed TO run their horses, the slowest to win.
They tried to make the race but did not sue
coed, for as each rider wanted to come in
last, they went slower and slower, and finally
came to standstill. They did not know how
to run the race until happy thought oc-
Cured to one of them.
They simply snapped horses. A rode BIS
horse and B mounted AS horse. Each rider
then did his best to make the horse he was on
60 as fast as possible, 30 as to come in first,
30 that his own horse, which the other man
was riding, would be beaten, thereby winning
the money rs the slowest horse.

THE PLOT
The Case With Which Judge Lippen-
colt Is Now Wrestling.

The Diverski civil case before Justice Lip
pencott caused considerable stir among the
court officials Yesterday. s stated yester-
day, Diverski was sued for debt; and when
his wife was put upon the witness stand, A.
told her not to give up the money she had
in her possession, for which lie was SEN
fenced to t~wenty-four hours Imprisonment
in the county Jail. Yesterday morning
through some misunderstanding, the oil
Gals at the Jail released him instead Of hold
ing him until 3p. m., and the constables
had a lively time in finding him again.
They finally succeeded. and again the case
was called, but the wife refused to produce
the money in dispute, and she. too, was
consigned to the tender mercies OF the sher-
if f r a day. Then it was discovered that
the commitment in her case was void, in
that it failed to specify the cause of hercon-
tempt OF court. An amended paper, recti-
flying the error was Immediately filed, and
upon this, her attorney applied for her re-
lease upon a writ of habeas corpus, and
Judge Galbraith was called into the case.
After hearing the arguments he refused the
application, holding that as the first docu-
ment contained the law mentioned it was
simply a nullity, and the second, or
| amended commitment, was the only paper
| of which the court Gould take, 81 "a zee;

SCANDAL,
Opening of the Trial of the Pail Mall
Gazette" People.

LONDON, October 23.-The trial OF Mr..
Stead, editor OF the Pal Man Gazette,
Rebecca Jarrett, Mr.. Bran we'll Booth, Mr..
Dowd, Mr.. Sampson Jacques, and Louise
Mowry, defendants in the Armstrong alb
duction case, began to-day before Justice
Lopez at the Central Criminal Court.
A large crowd had assembled in front OF
the building previous to the opening OF the
court, but a heavy rain set III and they
scattered to places OF shelter. The prison
ers pleaded not guilty.
Sir Richard +. Webster, .Attorney-Gen-
eral, opened the case for the Crown.
His address covered the same ground rs
that of Mr.. Poland the magistrate. Justice
Lopez held that no motives, no matter
how worthy their object, were sufficient to
justify the taking OF the child without her
parents consent. The consent had been
obtained in IA fraudulent manner. 1t was
no consent in the eyes OF the law.
The witnesses testimony so far is merely
a repetition of the evidence given at the
preliminary examination. Eliza Armstrong
testified freely and clearly. The trial will
probably last a week.
The defendants are charged with misdea-
menor instead OF felony, so us to enable
them to testify in their own behalf and to
be liberated on bail during the progress OF
the trial.

DEPEW'S
sonnet ing About Gener GIANT and
President Johnson.

LOUISVILLE, October 22.-In view OF the
publication of Mr.. Depew's letter relative
to General Grants conversation about eX-
PRESIDENT Johnson, the COurier-Journal
will publish tomorrow three columns OF
General Grants testimony before the House
j judiciary Committee on July Is, 1862,
just prior to the impeachment Of President
johnson. The C0urierJournal will editor
tally say: at is astonishing that among
all the wise men OF the East, among all
those so busy writing history, not one
should remember that General Grant did
APPEAR before the Judiciary Committee and
give his testimony. General Grant certain.
" does not sustain Mr.. Depew. He says
distinctly that President Johnson did not
propose to recognize a Congress composed
OF Southern members and the Democrats
of-the North. He asserts that in his pub
lie speech, when swinging around the circle
President johnson did suppose a case, and
then ask which would be the legal Congress,
and he denies that he said even this much
to General Grant in private. This and no
more is the substance OF 'J%ohnson's trea-
son. andit is plain that what is new in Mr..
Depew's letter is not true and what is true

ALLEGED BREACH OF TRUST.
Arrest Of a Member Of the Butte Fire
Brigade.

Some months since the Butte Fire Brigade
gave a ball at the AMI hitheater, which has
resulted in quite a complicated case in the
Police Court. From the facts o%btainable
it appears that Thomas J. Fallon, "a men,
Der Of the Brigade, drew from the Commit
tee of Arrangements 125 tickets, a portion
"f which were half-rate tickets for the use of
the members of the company, to be sold at
$1.5O each, and the remainder were for the
use OF the general public and placed at 50
each. When the committee came to a set
Element, Mr.. Fallon neglected to return
either the tickets or their equivalent in
coin. An investigation followed by a COM
mittee consisting Of George Fitchen and
Simon Hauswirth, which elected the fact
that Fallon had disposed OF from sixty-five
to seventy OF the tickets. both half and full
rate OF the value Of 500 or $40, either
holding or losing the balance. The money
not being Forthcoming he was arrested and
placed under bonds in the sum of $3.50.
which he gave. Yesterday his case was
called in the Police Court, and after a plea
OF not guilty to the charge ofgrand larceny,
an adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock
this afternoon.

LIVELY TINES.
A Fire at Alice Mill Causes a Large
Turn Ont.

Yesterday afternoon about 1870 o'clock
the whistle of the Alice mill in Walkerville,
sounded the alarm of fire. and instantly the
others in the neighborhood took up the
unwelcome music. In IL very few seconds the
road from Butte up the hill was swarming
with people and vehicles, and every little
eminence nffording II view OF the direction
from which the sounds came was eagerly
sought by pedestrians. Arriving in Walker
vile it was found that the Alice mill was
the scene OF the confiagration, and that
it had experienced a very narrow escape
from total destruction. The fire originated
in the retOrt room, an annex on the south
east corner OF the main building, and was
confined to that room. The men employed
on the retorts had been very busy during
the forenoon and had justgone to Inner d
few minutes before the engineer OF the mill
discovered the flames breaking through the
roof. AS soofAas the alarm was sounded
| there vas a general rusl, OF the employees
| for the hose carts, and in less than two
| minutes there were four streams OF water
playing upon the burning roof, resulting in
the extinguishing of the lame in a very
few minutes An examination revealed the
fact that the fire had originated in the char
coal dust which accumulated on the collar
beams Of the building, and it may have
been smouldering there for Il number OF
| days, only to break out while the men were
at their meals. The damage was light, not
exceeding $3.50.
Superintendent Hall feels very proud OF
his efficient fire department., and the
prompt manner in which the men responded
to the danger signal, as upon them alone
he has depended for protection against a
calamity. The Moulton men also quickly
responded by running Il line Of hose down
towards the mill.
Messrs. Mantle & Warren yesterday al
ternoon notified Mr.. Hall that, as agents
! for the insurance companies, they were pre-
pared to settle for the damage done to the
mill
As soon as the alarm OF fire was sounded
! a telephone message was sent to the Butte
Fire Department for assistance, and a mem
Der OF one of the companies proceeded to
sound the alarm upon the bell. but at the
third tap the bell, weighing 1000 pounds,
slipped from the standards, and lodged
upon the platform above the roof. 1t is
very strange that the heavy piece OF metal
did not 60 on down through the building
into the cellar below. The bell will be
r1chted at once and will be raised eight feet
above the roof and made more substantial
than before.

4 BAD AWAKENING.
A Couples S.umbers Disturbed By q
Hard Hearted Sheriff.

Last night about IL o'clock Deputy Sher-
i'll Sam Tonkin was seen making his way up
Main street. Int then turn into Granite
and enter Mrs. Tuttle's lodging house.
Upon his return to the county jail it was
learned that his mission had been to arrest
a couple booked as Frank Wilson and
Mary Brown, by virtue of a warrant sworn
out by a brother OF the latter, John w.
Robbins, upon a charge Of adultery. The
couple were occupying a room at the house
in question, and when Tonkin called for
them Wilson seriously objected to being ar
rested in the middle of the night from his
pleasant bed, but the officer was not to be
put Off, and finally the door was opened
but not until Tonkin had threatened to
force it. Wilson protested all the way to
Jail against being thus arrested, but all the
same he was taken to the.scounty Jail,
where he will repose until the case comes
up before Judge Lippincott. Ma y wasnot
locked up, but LETT at the DON under sur
veillance until to-day.
When Wilson was searched at the Jail the
only valuable article found upon him was
a fifty-dollar greenback, and that has every
appearance OF being a counterfeit.

THE SENTENCES.
Judge Galbraith replied hr;eay H., h.
had gwen the subject very serions cons;da.
ra'ioh. HIS first opinion was to infict a
,ae sentence put he had then concluded that
aeiIS should enter into the Judgment. He
eolIu not forget his duty to mis- position
ana TO the community, especially keenino
III view that great principle of law. "ail
persons are equal" and the words of the
n,gner law, Ii has made OF one blood all
men VINO dwell upon the face of

az hard labor was then imposed upon
Gannon n eighteen years upon Riley.
Farrell was then called up and said that
by the advice of his counsel he had pleaded
guilty to involuntary manslaughter. He
was present at the time, and if that con-
st'tuted the crime he must be guilty. He
begged Tor mercy for the sake Of his old
wldowe mother whose main support he
was. The judge then sentenced him to five
years at hard labor.
VI all the prisoners Cannon seemed to
leei the sentence most keenly, and it re-
quired considerable effort to restrain his
emotions. All the prisoners were then re-
turned to the Jail.
Judge kiethly madea final appeal for the
reduction of the bail in the case OF Platt
Burr, which was refused by the court for
the reason that the penalty for the crime
for which he was indicted was five years in
the penitentiary and to release the prisoner
on less thar $1,000 bond would be equiva-
lent to turning criminals loose.
The court then adjourned until 8 o'clock
this morning, when the only business trans
acted will be the signing OF documents.

AUGUST MONNIER.
His Death Under Supposed Pc uliar
Circumstances.

Thursday morning August Monnier, a
French ieweler, who has beendoing business
in Butte on West Broadway for the past
four months, died after, what seemed a pc
culiaril!ness of two months duration. The
deceased about two months ago, took some
wine in an Italian wine saloon. ana ;;::";
drinking it saw, or imagined that lie saw,
some pieces Of glass in the bottom of the
bottle. A day or two later he was taken
with pain in the bowels, and while he was
not confined to his bed he suffered consid-
erably and died yesterday morning. In
order that the relatives might be perfectly
satisfied, an autopsy was held, and it re-
vealed the fact thai death was caused by Il
most aggravated case OF dysentery. Mr..
Monnier was a Frenchman 10y birth, but
had been in this country many years. He
was for a long time in business in Denver,
and had only been in Butte for four months.
He was a quiet good citizen and is said to
have been an expert at his business. The
funeral will take place from his late resi-
dence on West Broadway, this afternoon
at 9 o'clock.
