BLAKE AND FARoUER ACQUITTED

The story OF Mr.. Stages Was Much Too
Thin For Credence.
D, the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, May 16.-Dave Blake and Matt
Farquer, two well known young men were
examined before Judge Newkirk this
morning on q charge of burglary. Their
arrest was made on the strength OF q con-
fession by one Stages, who Is in custody
for robbing the Morier house. More than
usual interest was manifested i'm the case
because OF the respectable connections of
the accused.
When placed on the stand Stages told a
very thin story. He said that he saw n
suit of clothes that was stolen from the
Morier house in possession of
Blake, who kept them concealed between
a couple OF mattresses on his bed.
Mrs. Miller, with whom Blake was room
ing at the time, testified that she never
saw any clothing in the room excepting
that which Blake was accustomed 10
wearing. As to any clothing being hidden
in the beds she said that il could not have
been done, as nothing but the mattress
was used, and consequently the story told
by Stages could not be true. After q
thorough examination the court arrived
mt the conclusion that the defendants
were innocent, and released them from
custody. Stages was taken back TO jail
