terday.

The only business in the supreme court
yesterday was the hearing of Thomas
Kings application for a new trial. The ar
guments were submitted and the case
taken under advisement. "A decision NAV
not be rendered under week. King, who
Is now In Jail at Boulder under sentence OF
death, will be executed on May unless a
favorable decision is secured from the
supreme court or respite is granted by
the governor. The crime fol, which he was
convicted was committed on the morning of
November %, at Elkhorn. It was the
result of an ordinary barroom row, which
was begun at ball. King and few
friends attended a dance at Gillia,n's hall
on the evening of the 18th. As there was a
scarcity of women, King and his friend,
George Peters, danced together until
Matthew Fogerty, who managed the dance,
interfered and ordered them off the floor.
Bad blood was started, and after
the dance the men adjourned to Colberg's
saloon near by. Then they went to Lloyd's
saloon, where an all-round fight was COM
menced, in which all participated except
King. They went outside, when the row
was continued and the murder committed.
Several witnesses swear that King pulled a
revolver from his overcoat pocket and fired
volver went off accidently as he was in the
act of bringing it over Fogerty's head. The
bullet entered Fogerty's left side and he
died shortly afterward. King was arrested
and tried on Jan. 80, and was found guilty
of murder in the first degree. He was sen.
fenced to be executed on March ~, but a
respite was secured until May 8.

THE VALHALLA.

Opening Of = Popular Resort on Lower
Main Street.
Last evening the valhalla was opened
with appropriate ceremonies by the popular
proprietor, Henry Blase. There was large
assemblage of friends and patrons who
emptied many schooners of beer and en-
joyed themselves in manner appropriate
to the occasion. The Valhalla ia
fitted up in splendid style. Everything
about the place is neat, clean and new. The
pictures on the walls are fine works of art;
the show window in front is decorated in a
manner that reflects great credit upon the
artist Who performed the work, presenting
more the appearance of a drawing room
window than anything else, with its pro-
fus ion Of flowers tastefully arranged. Mr.
A. N. Shock was invite to make few re-
marks, and did SO in his happiest manner
telling the old story of Valhalla and wish
ing unbounded prosperity to the genial pro-
prietor of the es tablishme mt, Mr.. Henr
Blase, in which all joined.

The Montana Club Sued.

County Attorney Nolan yesterday COM
menced suit against the Montana club to
recover $125 as license due for the quarter
ending April 1. The club thus far has
failed to take out license for selling hq-
uors. Several saloon keepers in the city
who pay license fees have protested. The
county treasurer has asked the club to pay
for license but has met with refusal on
the ground that there is no law compelling
social club to take license for
county attorney thinks differently. If he
succeeds in winning this suit he will sue for
$500 back dues for license fees. The coun-
ty attorney is also of the opinion that the
directors of the club may be criminally
prosecuted.

JOHN GARN1sH GOT AWAY.

He Forged a Check for 41O.s5 and Then
Lift Town.
Yesterday afternoon when the Northern
Pacific passenger train stopped at the depot
little man dressed in dark blue suit and
light brown felt hat might have been
seen walking rapidly up and down the plat
form peerina into the different cars as if
in search of some one. And such proved
to be the case. His name was
George Hayes. He was looking for
John Garnish, OF East Helena, who
he said, had forged check for $1O.S5. It
seems the check was one issued by the
smelling company, and that Garnish was to
secure the money on it for Hayes. But
instead of doing this he signed the docu-
ment, received the money and started for
Butte. He was seen at the depot by Hayes,
but managed to secrete himself while Hayes
was looking for policeman. It is possible
that he may be caught and brought back.

The Requisition Was for Kelly.

The RequisitiOn Was for Kelly.
The requisition issued by Acting Governor
Richards in this city was for Gus Kelly, in
stead of Salmon, who was brought to Butte
on Sunday evening from Ogden. Kelly is
now in Spokane, but will be brought to
Butte to-day. The arrest Of Kelly makes
the fourth man gathered in for the robbery
Of Donaldson. Only part of the stolen
jewelry has been recovered, but the officers
and the unfortunate victim know where
most of the diamonds and watches we're
sold, and it is only question of few days
before most of it will have been recovered.
Awaiting the Grand Jury.
The next session of the grand Jury will
begin in about two weeks. There are eight
or nine prisoners now in Jail awaiting an
interview with that body. Manager Jacobs,
of the Montana Lottery will, be called upon
to explain his business methods. The FLAG
and sign have been removed from his Office
on Main street, but there are several
placards on the stairs. The county attor-
ney thinks Jacobs can be prosecuted for
allowing these to remain.

THE BLEACHING OF HORSES

A curious statement cones from Ar
kansas concerning a gang OF horse
thieves, who had for their chief assist
ant young woman bleached
blonde--with the nickname OF Sorrel
Sue. She was given this name be
cause she always appeared in public
riding rorrel horse. Her excellent
horsewUmanship and her dashing
manner brought her many admirers
The shooting affair which forces her
into notice was an ordinary case Of
plain jealousy. Two OF her admirers,
both members OF the gang, fought for
ker favor. One was killed, and the sur
sivor was severely wounded. A surgeon
was sent for. lie mistook the diree-
ton aud walked into the cabin occu.
pied by "Sorrel Sue" Before he
could be hustled out, he saw certain
things which aroused his suspicious,
These he reported to the sheriff, who
with posse managed to surround the
den OF the horse thieves, capturing
sue and two OF her gang. The sheriff,
though pleased with the capture, was
more than clated at the discovery OF
the peculiar method Of Disgusting the
stolen ANIMALS adopted by the gang.
lie found that Sue had applied the
means Of bleaching her own HAIR to
that OF the horses.
When the posse entered, they found
horse enveloped in jacket made Of
rubber coats, being treated 20 sui
phur yapor bath. The appliances
were very ingenious, and worked very
well. A black or bay horse would be
stolen and run into the bleachery
After its color was changed and lis
tail and name trimmed, the disguise
became so pronounced that without
any great risk the animal could ba
taken in daylight through the very
district from which il had been stolen
II was Sne's business not only to su
rerintend the bleaching but also &
ride the animals out OF the country.
