BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 13.-There was
considerable excitement in the District
Court yesterday afternoon. Mediation,
Democratic, and Hamilton, Republican,
rivals for the Office of judge were on
hand and determined to take seat on
the bench. The Republican and Dem-
ocratic sheriffs, in anticipation of trouble,
were on hand with a large number of
deputies. The city marshal, acting on
orders from the mayor, swore in twenty
special policemen, and these, armed
with Winchesters, were stationed
around the room. Judge DeWolfe
was on the bench, and aft
er hearing the arguments of
the counsel for both claimants,
declined to decide the question and ad-
journed the court. McHatton immedi-
ately stepped up and took the seat. He
directed the Democratic sheriff-elect to
convene the court. His orders were
obeyed, and Hamilton, the Republican
claimant, with his followers, at once
left the court. Hamilton will appeal to
the Supreme Court for writ of manda-
mus compelling McHatton to show by
what authority he assumed the Office Of

The Fiend Arrested and the Little Ones
Cared For.
ST. Louis, Nov. IA case of the
most horrible cruelty has come to light
at the Gate-street police station in the
Second district
About nine o'clock yesterday morning
Mrs. Louisa Vollman appeared at the
station with the startling informa ton
that her husband had killed her four
year-old child and buried it's body in a
heap of sawdust in the hold of an old
1atboat in which they had been living
on the river bank, between Dorcas and
Arsenal streets. The woman was in a
half hysterical condition and could give
no account of the trouble.
A patrolman was at once dispatched
to accompany her to the boat. Entering
the dingy hole the officer went into
the hold. Here he found two chill
dren, one four and the other two years
of age. The elder child was uncon-
scious and lay half-covered under pile
of refuse matter in the corner of the
boat. Being carried to the light, the
little ones were found to be covered with
bruises and bleeding from ugly-looking
wounds about the head. Vollman was
found on the deck and placed under ar
rest by Patrolman Atkinson. He denied
knowing anything about the case.
Mrs. Vollman, by questioning her lit
tie ones, at last arrived at the true
statement of the affair. It appears that
the mother had gone out early in the
day to look for employment, leaving the
children on the deck. About eight
o'clock Vollman came home half drunk,
and could not find the key to the hold.
He insisted that Katie, four years old,
had thrown it overheard, and beat the
child with his fists. The little one fell
screaming to the deck. Then the in
human father kicked her in the head
with his boot. The other child then set
up pitiful wall, and was treated in a
similar manner. Katie did not rise
when commanded by the brute, and was
kicked again. Alarmed by her silence,
and probably thinking she was dead,
Vollman picked up the body and carried
it into the hold, whore he placed it I'M
der some rubbish.
Vollman is brewer He is thirty
nine years of age and has been for five
years employed by the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Company. Five weeks ago he
was thrown out of employment, and, ac-
cording to the statement of his wife,
has been under the influence of liquor
ever since. Mrs. Vollman says this is
not the first time her husband has
abused the children. She says that
some time ago she caused his arrest for
brutally beating her son, whom he
drove away from home by his abuse.
She says he has most violent temper,
which is greatly exaggerated by drink.
Vollman is now locked up at the Gate
street station. The children were taker.
