HUNGRY JAIL BIRDS.
Alderman Dan Tewey Throws Up His Con
tract for Feeding Prisoners.

<AtueFthbu Dhh hewey buToWs u HIS Non-
tract for Feeding Prisoners.
Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
BUTTE, May 22.-The city jailor went to
the Southern hotel this morning to get the
usual food for the prisoners, and was in
formed by Alderman Dan Tewey, propri-
etor of the hotel, that there was nothing
for them. He would have nothing further
TO do with the feeding of the prisoners.
This action is due to the action Of the
council last night in voting TO advertise
for bids for feeding the city pris-
held this contract for some time
at 40 cents per day. The advertisement
for bids would necessarily throw him out.
as no alderman is allowed to contract for
city jobs of anydescription. Consequent
ly instead of waiting for the bids to be
formally received and the contract award
ed the alderman threw up the contract at
once.
"My reason for this action" said Mr..
Tewey to-day, ais hat the action of
the council was due purely to personal
spite on the part of some Of the
members. Had IL been merely n
business proposition l would have
found no fault. But some of the
aldermen want to injure me all they can.
But you al say that this thing is not over
yet. There is something still to be heard
in the matter. l have lost the feeding of
still feeding 100 people a day, and l "a
worry along. But there is 10 be a sequel
To all this. just wait and see the grand
finale"
The city prisoners were fed from the
Chicago House to-day.

BUTTE, May 2.-If the police have dis
covered anything new in the case Of Nav
Quinn, who has confessed To robbinR
Mrs. Kent Of money and iewelry, they
are p~rovokingly non-committal. As neal
as can be learned, the girl Is 10Y seeking
To implicate Others In the robbery, and
the story that she threw the plumber out
of the window when she heard the officers
coming, IL discrctlited. Search is being
made for the plumber, but 30 far without
success.
Mike Sullivan. who wa arrested last
night as an accopnplicc, was
arraigned I'm Judge Newkfrk's court this
afternoon. He tool the statutory time in
which to plead and was remanded TO Jail
until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The girl IL credited with making "a re-
mark To which considerable Significance
is attached. the police constituting IL as
evidence that she is not alone concerned
in the robbery. Last night she stated To
an officer that the police could ooh all
they pleased for the property. hut would
not find IL, and after saying the property
was where no policeman could get il, she
refused to talk any further on the subject.

Urgent Need Of . sanitary Inspector In
Butte This Summer.
Special Correspondents Of the Standard.
BUTTE, May 2.-Dr. Robarts, the health
officer, is vigorously aRitatinR the matter
of an improved Jail and firemen's quar-
tiers, and also of a general sanitary in
spection.
"The sleeping apartments m the jail"
said the doctor. "allow about 400 cubic
feet Of air % q man. In eastern jails
from 800 to 400 cubic feet is the rule.
Furthermore there 10 no ventilation
whatever In our Jail. The firemen
are In still worse condition. They
are men supposed to do fire
duty, and TO do Il well must he i'm the
very best of physical condition. But they
only have 210 cubic feet of air per man.
Every "A hours n man will breathe $50
cubic feet. There Is no ventilation
except cracks and keyholes. Nearly
all the men are sick, and evidently
this comes from the exhalations arising
from the jail below. IL the doors are
opened, there IL a filthy street at IN sid
and q privy vault at the other.
ave need a general sanitary inspection
Of all houses of h city, something that
greater portion of the city is not rom
nected with the sewer. Often there are
~cesspools beneath floors. The inspector
should give details as to cesspools, closets,
animals kept and where they are kept and
everything of the kind. The complete in
spection would cost about $1,000. This
would give n thorough sanitary statement
regarding every foot Of ground in the
city. People purchasing a place could
IN know its value from the point OF
healthfulness. They would know whether
there were any disease traps on
the premises; whether there had
been n deaths from typhoid
fever; whether any contagious diseases.
IL an epidemic should start in Butte
realities woulG be deprecated more than
by any other cause, and business would
be injured almost i~rretrievably.
yesterday a clergyman came to me
and inquired whether a public funeral
should be held in a case where q child
had died OF scarlet fever. Another man
asked me whether the attendance Mt
school of children from a family where
there had been scarlet fever could not he
prevented. These things indicate the
~slackness prevalent in guarding against
the spread of disease. The expenditure
of 81 900 In n sanitary inspection may ave
the city many thousands OF dollars"
1t is likely that measures will be taken
by the council to carry out the sugRes-
tons of DIR. Robarts. The natter of con-
structing a new Jail and a new fire build
ing will be considered by the ways and
means committee, n the health COM
mittee will endeavor to have a fund APP
~propriated for the health department.

DIED ALONE IN POVERTY
Sin6ularly Sad Death Of an Old
Minor Named Dempsey.
His Disfigured and EmacIated Body
Was Found In q Hut Near Feeley's
Circumstances Indicated
Foul Play.

By the standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, May @.-Undertaker sherman
reached the city this morning with the
body OF n man found dead near Feeley's
station. The body as IL appeared in the
undertaking rooms bore every appear
ance of the nan having been beaten to
death. The ace and head were one mass
of bruises and the knees were broken
and frightfully swollen.
The body was that of John Dempsey
and was found in his hut near Feeley's
yesterday. Word was sent TO this city
late last night, when the messenger SIM
ply said that there vas a sick man out
there who would probably die. County
Physician Tremblay thereupon ordered
Undertaken Sherman to bring the
man in. The undertaken in the
middle of the night found the
old man stretched face downward upon "a
straw mattress In the middle of the floor.
According TO appearances he had been
dead several days. The eyes were gone
and the body gave evidences of disSnte-
grafton.
Dempsey was an old and inoirensive
miner, working on n placer claim, and
had no money and no enemies, so far as
known. Many who have examined the
body do not believe that there has been
foul play, but tina; the blotches on the
face have been caused by erysipelas.
Coroner Beale will hold an inquest to-
morrow. Deputy Sheriff O'Neill left for
Fceley's this evening To summon wit
nesses for the inquest.
The body Of Dempsey was buried at 3
o'clock this afternoon, the funeral being
fastened on ccoun of the decompo-
sition OF the body. No post morton exam
ination was held, the jury having viewed
the body and found il unnecessary I'm
their opinion. Mr.. Sherman has tele-
graphed Mary Conlon, of Utica, n. V, Of
Dempsey's death. Some time ago the
postmaster nj Feeley's, received a letter
from this lady asking particularly Of the
or friends he may have is not known and
SO Mary Conlon is the only one notified.

Mountain Home Mail.

Several weeks ago We noted the
departure of Mr.. C. r. Shaw, on q
trip to the States, and that one OF the
objects Of his trip would be to get
capital interested in some Of The en-.
terprlses that have been talked OF
about Mountain Home. Mr.. Shaw
has arrived home.
He brings the good news that par
ties have been intere sted in she build
ing of the reservoir, two miles above
town, on Rattlesnake creek. By
building dam across CANYON into
which the creek cnpties, and by con-
veylng water from Canyon creek
through ditch of three or four miles
in length, it is estimated that enough
water can be stored to irrigatc $1,000
acres of land. While we are not
authorized to state it as a positive
fact, yet it is reasonably certain that
the capital has been secured to build
the dam and ditch.
The irrigation of $1,000 acres OF
land about Mountain Home is no
small item in itself. But there are
many important incidental advantage.
to be derived from this water supply,
and it will be an important addition
to the material welfare of Mountain
Home. 1t will give the town good
water works, and will make it possible
to conduct enterprises here that could
not otherwise he carried on.
