JUST LIKE A SIEVE,

The Present Condition of the Coll Where
City Prisoners Are Kept.
Within the past twelve months no less
than a dozen prisoners have escaped from
the rear door of the cell in the city jail.
The big cell in the rear Of the original city
hall building has IN iron bound door in the
back end opening out into the lower floor
of the addition to the building. This door
is fastened by a heavy staple and paddock
about the center. When n prisoner gets
to assist him push the big table up TO the
door and get on it. Then, by their united
efforts, the top of tho door Ia sprung out
and stick of wood dropped in the %crevice.
Another push. the crack is widened, and
the stick of wood drops down, holding the
enough to admit the passage of n mans
body and as many as want to leave go
through. Once on the outside of the door
there 10 nothing to do but to walk out of the
building through the passage and the rear
OF the engine house. 1t has been frequent
~ suggested that the numerous escapes,
could be prevented by putting staples and
padlocks on the top and bottom of the back
door az we'll as the center. Nothing has
ever been done, however, as the improve
ments in the rear were always expected to
be made shortly and a more secure Jail
thus secured. At present the big cell in
the rear 10 being put in condition to receive
the steel cages that the county has given
the city. Acement f1oor is being laid, bars
will be put across the windows, and the
prisoner who gets out of the cage will have
some trouble getting out of the room, es-
p%ecially AS a watchman will be on hand
most of the time. Until the new cell and
cages are ready for occupancy the prisoners
in the city jail are at liberty to leave by
the back door whenever they want light and
fresh air.

WORSE THAN SUPPOSED.

Over One Thousand Letters Were in the
Mail Pouch Rified at Butte.
Chief Inspector Bedell has received in
formation from the postofice officials at
Butte which makes it certain that the mail
pouch stolen and ri1ed in that city contain
ed over LOCO letters. 1t was a mixed sack,
known as IN express mail. Letters for
eastern points received at Butte, and mail
from that city, are made up in one pouch
and sent by the way of the Short Line to
Bozeman, where the eastbound Northern
Pacific train takes it up and carries it to
st. Paul for distribution and forwarding by
different routes to destination. The rifled
pouch left the Butte postottice at $40 %. M,
and the train which carried it to Bozeman
did not leave until after 10 o'clock. Mean
time the pouch lay on the depot platform,
where the robber or robbers found it. Only
about 100 letters were found with the
pouch. showing that the thieves had be-
come frightened before they got through
rifing the letters, and carried the others off
tt go through them at leisure. A
deputy United States marshal
is looking up the missing 900
letters, which will no doubt be found in
pieces somewhere near Butte. From a cas-
ual inspection of the letters which were
found with the multi ated pouch, many of
them were OF great Importance.

MEMORIAL DAY.

From Department Commander Iof
It's Observance.
Memorial day will be observed on Satur-
day, May 80, by all the Grand Army posts
and camps Of Sons of Veterans throughout
the state, assisted by kindred organaza-
tions. Harry @. Kessler. department. COM
mander for Montana, has sant to the yarl-
GUS posts copies of the following order coz
corning the observance of the day:
1.-The Both day of May is rapidly ap-
preaching; therefore the department COM
mander recommends its proper observance
our annual pilgrimage to the city of the
dead, we reassert our fidelity to our repuo-
lie, the grandest government n eartn. the
perpetuation of which cost the sacrifice of
many valuable lives.
with a feeling of reverence, with bowed
heads and softened hearts we delight to
honor their memory. The beautiful Gus
tom of strewing flowers Oh the graves Of
departed loved ones long since obtained
Its proper observance by the present eener-
alton, without regard to sect or creed, la
gratifying to the Grand Armp of the Re-
public.
ut is not a day of recreation, nor do the
American people so look upon it. The
commander hopes the day will be observed
should be frowned down on this sacred
day. Eagerly is the procession watched as
they wend their way to the cemetery: and
the feeble step, the whitened hair and the
bent form are evidence of approached dis
solution. Each year adds a new grave to
the list of the depa,ted-mo,e flowers to be
carried and one less to carry them.
"Ihe practice on the part of the posts of
attending divine Worship in Il body upon
the Sunday preceding Memorial day is to
be especially commended. and it is to be
hoped that no post in this department will
depart from so honorable a custom, either
now or hereafter

The Butte Miner says: 10 h4nf the Bos-
toniaug once creates II desire to hear them
often. There were hundreds Of people at
the opera house last night who, II their
purse strings can stand the strain, WILL pc
seen at the same place this evening. The
company is the best in liynt opera that nas
stronger artistically than IL is numerically.
Robin Hood. n comparatively new opera,
WAS selected for the opening p~ef1Qrnance
of the engagement, and it was faultiessly
presented. OF the cast, ii ia hardly posi-
BILE to say too much in praise. He. Barnar
bee RS the rnscally grotesdue hl0n snelln vi
Nottingham carried more than a suggestioh
of humor in his makeup and the fief
promise conveyed by his presence was am
ply fulfilled by his droll acting. Jullette
Gordon 40 Lady Marion created a sensation
and her pleasing voice was no less captlga-
ting than her charms OF person. lAawin
Hof made an excellent Robin Hood, and
won the sympathy Of the auditors long be-
fore he did the hand of LADY Marion.
George D.. F~rothingham's Friar Tuck pre-
sented a study of delightfully."- amusing
sort. and his vocation was well APP
preciated. Jessie Bartlett Davia
as Alan-a-Daie was cha rIa1ne
Reals and Annabel and Josephine Bartle TT
as Dame Burden were clever. 1he Little
John of Trevette Maffett and the Will
Scarlet Of w. IA. Macdonald were both
good.
There are 40 many musical gems in
robin Hood that to praise one and not
another would be nanifestly unfair, and
yet to do justice to all would require more
space than the columns of a daily news
paper rford for theatrical criticisms. And,
besides, cold type would not,conyey to the
ear any idea of the exquisite harmony n
some Of the airs in this opera, which will
be sung again Saturday evening.

not found in plays OF that sort. TIN plot
deals with the adventures Of two sisters in
n great city. One wallis in the right path
and the other goes vrong. There ~ II
thread of dramatic interest all through the
play, while there IL enough comedy to re-
Iieve the more intense parta. The company
liz exceptionally strong. They play their
parts with an eaxe and naturaineae not
often seen in melo dramatic combinations.

Fred E. Wonnacott, who was charged
with failure to sign a money order receipt
at the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, postoftice, has
been indicted by the United States grand
jury of that state. Ho pleaded not guilty.
Wonnacott had been a clerk in the postof-
fee at Coeur d'Alene. Postmaster O'lteilly
discharged him. He tried in every way to
annoy the postmaster. Having W money
orders IN the Office, he presented them.
While O'Reilly was counting out the money
Wonnacott went to the desk as if to sign
the orders. Seeing the money counted out,
he laid his receipts down, picked up the
cash and walked off. When he had gone
the postmaster saw that the receipts were
not signed. Under the law the postmaster
is responsible unless he can show signed
receipts. The charge against Wonnacott il
larceny of government funds.

Rights Adjusted.

james II. Leslie ia n self confessed forgef
and will be sentenced this morning in the
district court by Judge Hunt. The penalty
for the crime is not less than one year or
moro than fourteen years confinement in
the state penitentiary. The story OF his
crime, IA Leslie relates it to the county attor-
ney, is TO the effect that he came here from
Oregon about the middle of last April and
was on his way to the Castle mining district
in Meagher county. He stopped here a few
days and his funds giving out he conceived
tho idea that he could raise some money by
drawing up IA check. Leslie went to Il drug
store and got some blank checks, one Of
which he drew up under date of April IS for
$24.60 and signed it ~. A. Emery, Supt."
At the Austia house, In the south part of
the city, he presented the check to Howard
Dean, and represented that Emery was the
superintendent of a mine and that the
check would be honored. Dean al
vnnced Sl2.5O on it. Leslie's arrest followed.
Before Judge Sanders and several other
persons at the city hall Leslie confessed
that the check was bogus. He had $40 with
him and offered to settle the matter, but
the authorities could not see it in that
light. A few days later the county attor-
ney filed an information against Leslie
charging him with forgery. To this he en-
tered a plea of not guilty. Yesterday the
plea WAS withdrawn and one of guilty en-
tered. Leslie is 80 years of age and a big
raw boned, hard working looking man. He
told Col. Nolan he worked in Oregon last
winter as a wood chopper.
Waterstreet, the telegraph operator at
Butler, a few miles west of Helena, who is
charged with cruelty to animals, will be

street says he never shot anything but a
coyote. This case with the one against a
Chinaman who tool a shot at one of his
fellow countrymen at Marysville a short
time ago is all the criminal business before
the court at present.
