The Argus is fibbing. The PRESS did not
accuse Collector Anderson of violating the
civil service law. The PRESS did, however,
intimate that had the Collector really been
the genuine civil service refcrmer he seemed
before his confirmation he would not have
turned out ten competent officers for the
chance of filing their places with Democrats.
But that is very different from charging him
with violating the law, and the Argus knows
it. 1t is a significant fact that though Gen.
Anderson has been Collector many months
the Argus never found space to speak a
work in his commentator until he had
turned out a lot cf Republicans. Then it
braced up and became valiant defender.

lite and polite friend, Col. G. Washing

sense, and would last longer. But he
has gone and ovcrdone ii. els gener-
ally called a good fellow, and his reck-
less, d-l-may-care ways have special
attractions for some, but we are dis
couragcd about him, for he don't seem
to learn anything from experience.
Otherwise he would see that the rapid
succession of political falls he has had
in the last two years mean that the peo-
pie are tired of his attempts to get
everything and boss everything under
heavens. His political health and pros
poets could be greatly improved by to.

Gratitude Gracefully Expressed.

While Mayor Frank was returning from
hts recent Eastern trip he formed a travel
ing acquaintanceship with ]. F. Hall, Jr.,
and wife, of Poughkeepsie, New York, who
were on their first visit to the West. The
Mayor bestowed on them the courtesies
which every thorough Western man con-
siders it his duty to bestow upon respect
able strangers in his country, and invited
them to come to Butte if they desired to
see typical Western mining city. The in
vitation was accepted, and during the brief
stay OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hull in butte they
were ciceroned.. by the Mayor. He took
them TO the bottom levels OF the deepest
mines and showed them how ore was ex-
tracted, and then he conducted them
through the smelters and explained to them
the nodus operandi Of converting orc
to bullion. They left Butte much
wiser than when they came, and
highly q ateful TO their Instructor. A neat
expression OF their gratitude was received
yesterday by the Mayor. 1t was q hand
some china water-set-consisting of a
pitcher and two mugs-and the coloring OF
the articles IS OF richness and delicacy
unrivailed by anything OF the kind in Mon
tana. Accompanying them was a grace
fulIy-worded letter from Mr.. and Mrs.
Hull, begging the Mayor to accept the gift
as token OF their remembrance OF his
kindness to them. The Mayor is as proud
OF his present az he would b. il it were con.
structed OF gold, and takes unbounded
delight in exhibiting it to the many friends
and customers who daily visit his store,

A Daring ssHOld.Up.0

John Dee was pretty drunk last night
when he entered an East Psrk street saloon
and made burro OF himself by exhibiting
a handful OF money to the inmates thereof.
John treated several OF the loAfers who
were holding down chairs in the saloon, and
then he adjourned to the back yard. Two
or three OF the aforementioned loafers fol.
lowed him, and an instant later sounds OF
scuffling were heard. A French restaura-
te7r whose cafe adjoins the saloonl beard
the unwonted noise. and with visions OF
burglars floating in his affrighted mind
rushed to the back yard just in time to re-
ceive a severe blow on the nose. Hescream.
ed "murder!" and Officer Hammer heard
the scream and few to ascertain
it's cause. He arrived in the back yard in
time to prevent the escape OF one fellow,
whom he collared, and to witness the un-
dignified retreat of two others over the
root OF an clubhouse. John Doe told the
officer that he had been "held up" and rob
bed OF $27 by the men who followed him,
and the officer thereupon escorted his pris
oner to the City Prison, where the surpris-
ing discovery was made that he, too, was
named John Doe. The case OF Doe VS..
Doe, robbery, will be tried to-day before
Judge McHattOn.

q colloquy upon this point took place be-

Frederick took hand with the assertion
that Chicago was SO used to fraud that
they, wanted to palm it off on the whole

Mr.. Lawler did not relish this attack
upon his city and replied with the declara.

its death rate was less than that OF any

person on record who was arrested
for robbing q gravedigger. Graves have
been opened and coffins burglarized, but
never in the memory of the oldest in

borhood has William Birds crime
had . precedent. Yesterday afternoon
William hied him to the Butte Cemetery
and stripped the tool house pertain
ing thereto OF all its portable con-
tents. He got away with one
bucksaw. one crosscut saw, one brace
and set of bits, two ropes used for lower
ing coffins, and other articles too numer-
GUS to mention. Last evening the grave
digger discovered his loss and reported it to
Chief Ledford, who found the two ropes
in a secondhand store, where they had
been sold by dishonest William. Thedealer
described William to the Chief, who sub
sequently arrested him and wormed from
him q confession OF his crime. William

Beaverhead's Sensation.

The pursuit OF the two road agents who
murdered the Glendale stage driver is vir-
tualIy st an end. The men are sur
rounded by armed deputies, and their cap
ture dead or alive seems to be only mat
ter OF brief time. They are afoot, their
horses having been captured by party Of
Sheriff Jones deputies, which fact initiates
against their chances of escape. The
animals have been identified as those
stolen from Dovenspeck and Eustis, in this
city, one day last week. Both are sorrels,
and the shoes on one are worn very smooth,
while the shoes on the other are compare
ti~ely new. The last time the men were
seen was at o'clock Monday evening, when
some boys who were driving stock in Fry
ing Pan Basin saw them lead their jaded
horses through a narrow pass. The boys
hurried to Argenta and reported what they
had seen, but when an armed party reached
the spot only the horses were found. The
locality is surrounded, however, and
news OF the capture OF the scoundrels is
looked for every moment.
