THE PAWNsH0P ROBBERY.

One of the Four Arrested for it Allowed
to Go Free.
A severance was granted Tom Kemps v
from the other three men arrested for the
robbery at the pawn shop last week, and
he was tried before a jury OF six men in
Justice Hopkins court yesterday. Thomp-
son Campbell appeared for the defence,
and the prosecution was conducted by Mr..
Jones OF the District Attorneys office,
Mr.. De Witt himself being in Helena in at
tendance on the Supreme Court. Max
GoldsteiD, q lad in the employ OF Blumkin,
Was the only testimony for the prosecu-
ton, and as he has a very imperfect knowl-
edge OF English. the prosecution asked to
have IN interpreter called, which the just
ice would not allow. He testified
that while he was at the
rear door OF the shop speaking to
two men who professed that they wanted
to dispose Of a stolen pistol, the front door
opened, and he had just time to see the
defendant and a companion enter and GO
towards the money drawer, when the men
at the door seized and choked him SO that
he could not see what happened. The
defendant and his companion then ran out
at t e rear door. He knew there was
about SIG in silver in the drawer ut the
time, and when he went to it after the men
had left it was gone. The defendant or his
companion had taken it. but because he
did not see the defendant take the money
out OF the drawer and his lack
of comprehension of and CON
sequent imperfect answers to the
questions put to him prevented the
prosecution making out a clear case. The
jury acquitted the defendant, aud the
county has another little bill 81 costs to
pay. The man Kempsey had just served q
three months term at the County Jail,
and there can be little dobbt that he was
parti cps criminis in the case. Evans,
another OF the quartette, will be tried
to-day.

A Quartette of scapegraoes.

The police arrested four little boys on
Sunday whom they found with six cases
Of empty beer bottles that had been stolen
from the Caplics building. Their names
are Williams, Curtis, Cooch and Burba.
They were taken to the county Jail and
locked up for the night ami yesterday had
a hearing before Judge Lippincott. The
boys confessed the theft OF the bottles and
the Judge sentenced Cooch to fifteen days
and Curtis to sixty days confinement in
Jail. Cooch had been up before for stealing
harness from York & Holmes on one occa-
sion and some chickens on another and
had been allowed to go with q severe
~lectare, which, apparently, was accom-
panied by no improvement in the lad.
Curtis, who is about 16, had
stolen a pair OF overshoes from
the front Of the Red Boot
store, and is a young ne'er-do-well from
salt Lake, badly in need OF reformation.
Williams and Burha were lectured by the
Judge on the evils OF the course they were
pursuing, and were told to GO home to
their parents, and come before tine court
this evening. Merchants are being con-
stantly victimized in this way, and an
example had to be made OF the two worst
offenders. There is great want felt OF a
Juvenile reformatory institution for the
care OF such young scapegraces.

THE PENN FAN.

h Recent Strike in the Blue Bird
Strengthens This Property, Which Ad-
joins 1t.
President w. q. Buskett OF the Penn
Yam Mining Company was in the city yes
terday, and was asked the result OF the
recent strike in the Blue Bird, which adj
joins the Penn Yam. He replied it was true
that the Blue Bird people had developed a
vein OF ore between seven and eight feet
wide at the depth OF seventy feet below the
lowest level of the Penn Yam, which ex-
tends vertically to the bottom OF the Penn
Van shaft, and which was within n foot
OF the Penn Yam line and sixty-three feet
from the Penn Yam shaft. aThis l saw
myself" said Mr.. Buskett, and it
strengthens my belief that we have a great
property" Mr.. Buskett said that he had
an option upon the Blue Bird property,
and that his object was, il possible, to
consolidate the two. He is in consultation
with some Butte capitalists who are very
much interested, and the prospect is that
q consolidation will be accomplished. The
gentlemen &c out to investigate the prop
erty this morning.

sH0r o a DEER.
Probably the First Case on Record Where
the Shooter Had an Excuse.

Probably the First Case on Record Where
the Shooter Had an Excuse.
Portland special: Particulars have been
received OF the killing OF Richard Schleuss-
ing at Hood river a few dayssince. He was
carrying home a deer he had shot and
while passing down one side Of a deep
ravine George Smith, who was hunting on
the other side, heard him cracking the
brush, and looking up saw the body Of the
deer just as Schleussing was going into q
thicket. Smith fired, and rushing forward
to see the effect Of his shot was Mortified
TO find ~Schleussing leaning against q rock
badly wounded. He ran home for q horse
and assistance, and On returning found that
the wounded man had succeeded in reach
ing home.
It was found that the bullet had struck
the hind leg OF the deer, and had been
DETECTED. striking Schleussing in the
jpint Of the hip, passing through and
lodging near the surface. The wound Was
fatal, and Smith, i'm an agony Of horror,
stayed with the unfortunate man till the
end. Schleussing tried to console him, say
ing he did not blame him, and no one
would think hard OF him. He lived some
~forty-eight hours after the accident, and
quietly passed away. He has a sister liy-
ing in Oakland, CAL, and his parents are in
Europe.

The allegation by the Anaconda aRe-
yiew,' copied into the mining Journal"
of this city, to the effect that the local
agents Of the Montana Union Railroad
company and the copper syndicate were
in collision to close down the works at
anaconda, does not seem entirely plaus-
able. While the Montana Union has not
done its duty in keeping pace with the
business along its line. the agents in
Butte have doubtless tried to do their
duty to the public and the Anaconda
people. Business has increased SO greatly
that none Of the roads are able to mve,
the demands made upon them.

GENERAL LEGITIME, commanding the
forces Of the Southern Hayti schism,
does not seem to be meeting with sweep
ing success. In a battle at Pincho, ten
miles from the San Domingo frontier, he
was so badly defeated that he is reported
to have taken refuge at the French
legation. The French have been asked
to send a gunboat to aid him.--By the
way, why should the French be allowed
to occupy important territory right under
Uncle Sans wing. any more than to
build and control a canal through Gen.
trail Anne lean territory ?

A BEAU.

The following incident OF the recent
masque ball was related to "Bee," with
permission to make it public. A charming
beau OF our town, in d song-and-dance at.
tire, was very much taken with a s'cute''
character in q babyish costume and a lace
cap. The charming beau danced with the
creature in white. and would gently, slyly
and ~affectiOnately squeeze the fair hand,
and to the great satisfaction OF the
former, the latter would respond
with a greater squeeze. Re-
peatedly did the sweet creature in
white seek the other in the mad and merry
waltz (being a leap year party she claimed
that privilege) and as often would the
charming beau be delighted if not paralyz a,
with . request to squeeze tighter" and he
squeezed. Such untold joy as filled that
young mans heart. .,Shall we meet again,
and where?" asked he OF the negro minstrel
attire. Eyes" replied the fair one at once.
Down stairs at Cornelius and Browns,
where a hot Tom and Jerry
awaits u.s." The character in the
vapory garments proved to be one OF our
chubby faced young gentlemen who was
pronounced "too sweet for any use" in his
babyish dress and cap. His friends have
been congratulating him since for escaping
with his life. The charming beau will be
nameless. He thinks leap year masque-
rades a snare and adelusion and it has not
been sale to dwell upon the subject with
him since.

MoRALIzINGs.

While good resolutions are being formed
by one and all over the land upon the en-
trance OF the new year, let it be sincerely
hoped that every person in this prosperous
little city will do everything in
his or her power to maintain the good
reputation that has ever characterised
Anaconda society from the first and begin
by b~lotting out as nearly as possible any
unpleasant or unfortunat e "reminiscences of
1888. Also whilst new churches are being
built and societies relating to the same are
being established, let it be the true aim OF
all persons interested therein, to allow the
higher Christian impulses to raise them
above b petty ~preiudices and
rule strife, eny and diseorp
cut, while all are working for the
same end, if not for the same church. A
b autiful spirib is always manifested in
very church society where the small, tri-
fling disturbances are allowed to shoulder
in the ashes OF indifference, instead OF
being famed into a flame of indignation.
Again, each and every one who helps
to make up the so-ealled social world
oil this little city has ever been charitable,
generous AMI hospioable to a beautiful de-
gree TO all deserving persons, and all have
been united in their efforts to make the So
cial tide flow easily and unruf1ed; have
overlooked willingly and nobly many OF
the mole hills Put of which great noun
tains are often made; have fought
against gossip and social sem
Stations; have endured rather than
rebelled 10 order to preserve that stan
dard OF excellence that has raised our
society above that OF many other infant
towns, and..if 1888 has made some feel that
patience has ceased to be a virtue, let them
remember that the aggressor suffers
more than the aggrieved. Let woman
hood predominate and rise to that point
where manhood has ever held the higher
place simply because man overlooks more
than wants to.
