these confirp.ed vaes and amount of petit
thieving is going on in thatlocality and com
plants innumerable OF losses OF small arti
cles are made by people compelled tolive il
that end Of the city. Traps have been sci
to catch some of the offenders but like
most members Of their class they are toe
cunning to be caught and consequently al
plans laid for their capture have so faI
proven futile. The neiehbors are deter
mined, however, not to relax their vigi.
lance and hope to catch some of the
continued success, may become more care
less and leave clnes that will lead to their
detection.
The boldesJ OF all outrages perpetrated
80 far by these rascals occurred q few
nights siace. Dave Mack, a man well
known in the city, having resided here for
many years, lives in q cabin on East Mer-
curry street. On the night in question he
wal going home at about 8 o'clock, and
carried o small club in his hand. When in
front OF his cabin he took a bunch of keys
from his pocket, and al in the act OF un.
locking the door when he was set upon by
two men who approached him from either
side. They closed in upon him and at
tempted to 60 through his pockets. He
partially freed himself from their grasp
and made an effort to use the club, which
he still retained in one hand. Owing to
the fact that his assailants were so closeto
him the blows he gave them did not have
much effect. Finally, however, he
aged to hit one OF the robbers across the
back Of the neck and partially knocked
him down. This seemed to brighten the
fellow, for he took to his heels and disap-
peared behind the cabin. The other thug
also started to run off. Mr.. Mack ran into
the cabin to get his gun, but before he
again get outside to use the Weapon, both
OF the villains had disappeared, and al
though their intended victim mad search
them. he could find no trace OF either.
He and his ~nsighbors are earnestly hoping
il any Of the fire bugs who operated here
last summer still remain in the city they
will try their hands on the cabins occupied
by the gang and do such good work, too,
that only ash heaps will remain to show
where they stood.

The Alleged Purchase of the Owsley Prop.
erty on Park and Main Denied.
A report was current among real estate
men yesterday that Marshall Field & Co.,
the dry goods merchants OF Chicago, had
purchased of William Owsley, the two lots
on the northeast corner of Main and Park
streets, paying therefore $50. 900. The
presence in the city Of Mr.. Mcpherson,
Northwestern agent for Marshall Field &
Co., lent credence to the report and by
many it was believed. 1t was coniden-
italy asserted that the great dry goods
firm intended to erect q six-story building
on the lot and make Butte the distributing
depot for it's Northwestern trade. There
is no surmising where this corpulent rumor,
floating around on the wings OF the fevsred
Imagination, would have pulled up, had

Mrs. L. R. Maillett, wife OF the we'll
known merchant, died at her residence
Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Mail
lett had been suffering for q long time with
an affection OF the liver which terminated

most skillful physicians we're &c.
cured no improvement was Der,

is IA years and the youngest 8 years old.
The funeral will take place this morning at
10 O'Clock.

To Settle the Question.

Since the Northern Pacific railroad has
come into Butte, the question has arisen
whether that portion OF the
fat east Of the city over which
the road passes is agricultural
or mineral land, the owners claiming that
it is the latter. In order to spprais it
properly. and pay what is just for right Of
way, the railroad company cent out a man
Wednesday to prospect the ground as best
he could under the circumstances. He was
provided with a pan for washing the gravel,
and before going out stated that he in.
going as deep as he could with pick
and shovel. What the result OF the inves-
legations is has not been learned, but it is
safe to say that on that side OF the fat
the possibility OF discovering gold in large
Quantities is not 30 good as it is further

A Broken Journal Causes q Wreck on the
Montana Union,
Incoming passengers on the Montana
Union were delayed at Deer Lodge several
hours yesterday afternoon owing to the
wreck Of a no%rth.bound freight train about
three miles south OF the station. The
wreck wal occasioned by the breaking OF a
journal, which threw a car from the track
and piled the remainder Of the
brown cars up in inextricable
confusion and threw the track into q state
OF "pi." Among other consignments was a
car load Of horses, billed to the Northern
Pacific. Singular as it may appear, out of
nine horses confined in the car only one
was killed, the remainder being practically
unhurt. The engineer, fireman and train
men escaped with whole hides, for
which they are duly thankful.
To clear the track required four
or five hours, when the south bound pass-
snger train started for Butte. Whether
the broken journal was caused by exces-
rive wear or an overloaded car could not |
be ascsrtained. as the officials maintained |

William Guilds, driver OF Laville Bros.

Sunday afternoon. He was driving down
Wyoming street and the wagon striking an
obstruction sloughed violently to one side
and threw him to tie ground. In falling
he struck on the back Of his head and
shoulders and vas rendered insensible by
the shock. He recovered consciousness in
a few moments and resuming bis seat drove
off. The team made no effort to run away
but remained on the the spot and waite1
until the driver resumed the reins.
Guilds seems to be q child of misfortune
as this is the third or fourth time that he

4 COLLISION OF HORSES.
Two Valuable Horses Collided With Ons
Another With Fatal Results,

While returning from Cen~teryille Sunday
evening Father Van de Weir, OF st. Patrick's
church, had q rather exciting experience.
The sleigh in which BE was riding struck a
boulder lying in the road, causing the gen.
tleman to fall ont. The horse took fright
and dashed madly down the hill towards
the city and continued without meeting
any obstruction until it reached
the corner of Main and Quartz streets.
At that point it collided with a horse driven
by Al. Leighton, who al out for q drive.
The force with which tibet two animals came
in contact was SO great the horse which
Leighton drove had it's back broken, while
the priests horse had it's shoulder shattered
and both animals had to be killed to end
their sufferings. Father Van de Ven re-
ceived q number Of bad bruises by being
thfown out, but Leighton was uniniured.
The horse which the latter drove belonged
to Lavelle Bros. and was a very valuable
animal, as was also that which belonged to
the priest.

MIR. Batcheller's Views,


Following the interview with MI. Evans
the reporter called at the postoffce and
glued himself to Mr.. Batcheller. He was
found occupying his accustomed desk in
the money order department.. 81 haven't
much to say, remarked he. "Icannotd deny
that I am disappointed. Nearly two hun
drsd OF the solid business men of Butte
cheerfully Endorsed me for the place, and
&s / rave spent almost ten years in the
postal sesvioe familiarizing myself with it's
details, aud in view OF the additional fact
that I have alwa 9 been an active and
consistent Republican, I entertained san
guine hopes OF emerging from the contest
successful. l was not aware until within
the past day or two that Lee Mantle an
tagonized my candidacy. knew he was
candidate for United States senator and
rested my hope that he would remain in
81 attitude Of neutrality in this postofice
affair, because he would naturally desire
not to secure the enmity OF either faction,
as il would initiate against his candidacy
for senator. Not long since Mr.. Mantle
assuredme that I need not fear OF encount.
s,ing opposition from him. This was OBJ.
viously done to quiet any suspicious
I might entertain, and I must say
he wa eminently successful. I shall not
remain in the Office after Mr.. Talent leaves
1t. I do not say this in q spirit of pique

my connection with the Office unless

THE facts in the matter, as I have
cleaned them from Republicans" said
Postmaster Talent, lis that there ia a
move on the part OF Mantle to
make peace with Tom Couch.
The hostility OF Couch to
Mantle in currently reported to have
reached that stage during the last cam.
paien that Republican candidates for
the legislature were refused the support OF !
the Colusa mines unless they pledged them. |
selves to vote against Mantle for senator.
Couch ardently championed the candidacy |
OF Evans, and Mantle, seeing an OBJ |
p~ortunity to placate Couch and turn q
trick to his own advantage in the sen.
contest, quietly sacrificed
Batchefier on the altar OF
his own ambition. Grix, who
withdrew In favor OF Evans will receive his
reward in anothsr direction. 1t is safe to
say that 90 cut Of every 100 in Butte, re-
OF party affiliations, favored the
Of Mr.. Batcheller. He possessed
the requisite qualifications, is deservedly
is thoroughly conversant with
and should have received the pref
srence, but in the absence OF a political
pull he was discarded in the interest of a
candidate who could forward Mr.. Mantle's
fortunes"
''You can state that I shall quit the
POSTAL service and devote myself to other
Ind more lucrative pursuits in the future"
