BOHEMIAN FOR THE CAPITAL.

The Queen city viii Put Forth Every
Effort to Secure the Prize.
BY the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, May T.-That Bozeman is in
earnest in it's struggle for the capital is
plainly apparent. While the good people
of that town were entertaining their Butte
visitors yesterday with lavish hospitality,
they did not forget to put in n good word
for themselves in connection with the
capital. The earnest desire to secure the
coveted prize Is not confined TO the male
portion Of the city's population alone, but
affects the feminine portion with equal
force. The committee of ladies who
served the hungry excursionists with the
lunch at the city hall,
dainty little red rosettes with the
inscription, "Bozeman for the Capital"
Little labels similarly inscribed decorated
the dishes, cutlery and in fact everything
else to which they could be fastened.
Some of the excursionists aver that the
little stickers even adorned the glasses In
the SALOONS, while many of them smoked
cigars also labeled, and as the smoke left
their lips il formed itself into wreaths.

THE PAVILION PROPERTY.

II is Rumored the Board of Trade Will
Erect a Fine Building Thereon.
By the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, May 27.-The lot at the cornero of
Granite and Alaska streets on which
stands the Pavilion has been the ource
OF more reports, rumors and speculation
than any other piece Of real estate in the
city. Only a short time ago Il was given
out hat a magnificent opera house was
to be erected on the site. Then some
body started the report that the lot was to
be put to a baser, but probably more
profitable use-a livery stable was to be
built upon II. Soon thereafter, II was
concluded not 10 build the stable, but
a hotel instead. This latter propo-
sition was received with ell
thusiasm by everybody from the
impecunious individual that boards at a
Chinese restaurant up to the millionaire
aud the~r restless real estate holder. But
somehow the hotel project fell through
and to-day a gentle rumor was started
that the old hoard of trade was seriously
contemplating the purchase Of the ground
and the erection Of a grand building on
the site.
What next will he proposed remains to
be seen, hut IL Is safe to say that unless
the board of trade building is built within
"a short time, the manufacturers of rumors
will soon AVE some other project In view
for the utilization of the property.

Butte, Nay 27.-It will be remembered
that during the latter part of last sum-
mer and during the fall, fires ragged al
most daily in Butte. For q period of three
months the city wa In dread for there
wal O reign Of fire. The flames started
up in all quarters OF the city and ut oil
times of the night. There was no doubt
in the minds Of most people that the fires
were Of incendiary origin and all posi-
BILE means were used by the police and
the fire department to ferret out what
seemed TO be a band Of fire bugs. For q
long time the officials were baiiied.
At last r.. r. Ingersoll was arrested on
the strongest circumstantial evidence.
and i'm a preliminary hearing was bound
over to wait the action OF the grand jury;
Ingersoll was indicted by the grand
jury on several counts and to-day his trial
began on the first of these counts. The
charge now on trial IL of arson in setting
fire to the Sideboard saloon on West ark
street. The greater part OF the day has
been occupied in getting n jury, which has
beer "a more difficult q usual owing to
the fact that many of those summoned rs
jurors have formed an opinion In the mat
ter or have had acquaintance with the
defendant or those who have suffered
from fire losses during the period Of in
ceflulary nrcs.
Ingersoll Is q tall, pale man of about 30
years of age with curly hair of a light
brown color and |. light moustache. His
! attorneys are Charles O'Donnell, and
Judge Stapleton. County Attorney Bald
win Is assisted In the prosecution by e. 5.
Booth, who is retained by Judges Wilcox
and Nichols, owners Of the Sideboard
property. Ingersoll's wife and three little
children were present during the trial.
A complete panel of jurymen was
finally obtained at q AS o'clock this after
noon. The opening statement for the
prosecution was made by attorney Booth.
He said that owing to the numerous fires
ing the defendant with the fires he had
been constantly watched by officers and
had been seen to go to the rear OF the
Sideboard just q little previous to the
breaking out Of the flames ON Oct. z.
was George G.. Marsh, the Insurance
agent. He showed a fine map of the city
OF Butte, showing all risks and the char

property. The deeds were read to the
