cRAzeD AT THE ALTAR.


A brooklyn Priest. Violently Ipsane, At
tacks tho On'ciating Clergyman.
BROOKLYN, N. r., Feb. 1i.-Thers was
an exciting time today at st. Peters
Roman Catholic church, and the specta-
Gle of one priest assaulting another on
the altar caused panic among the
large congregation which attended mass
services. The pastor Of St. Peters is
Father William j. Hill, a man of middle
age, while Father Patrick v. Mcdonald,
a young man about 80 years old, is his
assistant. The latter was celebrating
mass. When Father Hill commenced
to read the notices for the day Father
Mcdonald, who was kneeling, suddenly
arose and turning to Father Hill, said.
"You can't speak here" Father Hill
was taken by surprise and whispered to
his assistant to keep quiet, but the lat
ter, who weighs 200 pounds, rushed at
Father Hill and knocked him down the
alter steps.
Father Mcdonald then picked mp the
chalice and Father Hill attempted to
take it from him. The former dealt him
blow under the left ear which knocked
him down.
The startled congregation by this
time was wild with excitement, and
several men in the front pews jumped
over the chancel rail anu prevented
Father Mcdonald from committing
further violence. Some of the congre-
cation had In the meantime run to But
ler street station for assistance and
Father Mcdonald was taken to the
rectory opposite the church and con-
fined In his apartments. Word was sent
Bishop Mcdonnell, who directed Vicar
General McNamara to make an investi-
gaticn. Meanwhile Father Mcdonald
had become so violent that 1t was evi-
dent that he is insane. Later he was
removed to st. Peters hospital, where
it was found necessary to detail a
policeman to attend him. Father Hill
says he was taken entirely by surprise,
as Father Mcdonald had never before
manifested any signs of insanity and he
could not account for his sudden de
rangement.

More Than 200 Applications We're Made

The Butte free public library is now
open to the public and in one important
respect at least Butte is placed on a
level with eastern people of twice its
size, where people will think of Butte
only as wild and uncultivated mining
camp. The interest which was shown
In the library and the unexpectedly
large attendance at the reading room
are conclusive proof that the citizens
of Butte fully appreciate the great
storehouse of knowledge and entertain
ment which is now at their disposal,
and that they intend to make free use of
1t. Folly 500 people visited the library
on its obening day, and those of them
who had not seen it before, and they
were in the ma jority, were greatly sur
prised both at the big stacks of books
and at the comfortable quarters pro
vided for the librarian and his assis
tants and the general public.

town the rear door of the express car
was suddenly smashed and a man with
a shot gun demanded the tin box of
money which he knew to be In the car.
The rcbber then took hold of the bell
cord and gave the engineer the signal
to stop the train. After securing the

HARRY THoMPsoN's CASE.

Is an Assignee, an rAgent, Servant and
Employee" of the Assignor.
Harry II. Thompson, assignee of the
Jackson Music house, Helena, stood up
the other day in the district court,
where he had often ondeiated in the ca
pacity of clerk, and through his counsel,
e. Warren Toole, pleaded not guilty to
an information charging him with en-
bezzlement of funds of the concern,
while acting as its "agent, employe or
servant" Mr.. Toole asked that the
matter be set for this week. Meantime
he would suggest that the state might
be saved the expenses of trial, as the
alleged offense was not crime. Thomp-
son was neither an 'agent, employe or
servant" of G. W. Jackson, but the as
since, and as such he had the right to
handle the money without accounting
to the assignor. County Attorney No
Ian said the word "agent" in the stat
ute regarding embezzlement covered the
case of Thompson. Some time this week
the matter will be argued to the court.
and If the grounds taken by Thompson,
attorneys are sust aimed, 1t will prob
ably end the criminal proceedings.

his trial was bungled during September,
1892, and the punishment far too exces
sive Following is a brief synopsis :
''Though we belong to the disinherited, +,
we think to be able to defray any reas-
enable expenses. If there are good
grounds for a new trial or kindred pro-
ceedings in behalf of our friend, we
would want much information and the
lowest figures"
Berkman was sentenced to twenty
two years; seven years for shooting
Frick, five more for sssaulting his bust
ness manager, Mr.. Leishman, and or
charges of felony and carrying con
cealed weapons he was given ten years
They also say; We deny it was the
intention to ipjure Leishman. Berk
man was not given half a chance il
court, and we can prove as much.
Attorney Marshall says he will taxi
hold of the case.

himself, and walked over behind the
bar. He glanced in the big looking
glass back of the bar, and seeing an
other fellow of his own sise picked up
a decanter and let it go with his right.
The 5000 glass was a wreck. His op-

took long, deep draught. Then he
sampled the whisky, gin, wine and

room In handfuls. The monkeys loud

BUTTE, Feb. 12.-Ex- Alderman 7 r..
Richardson of Walkervillc has returned
from four months visit along the
Pacific coast and through California.
He went away when times were dull
here to look for a better town than
Butte, but his search proved futile and
he Is glad to get back again among his
friends. Mr.. Richardson says that the
people of Butte have no idea what the
expression "hard times" means. In
California he saw hundreds of we'll
dressed men, who had never been ac-
customed to hard work, engaged in al
most always useless search for any
kind of employment. no matter how
rough or dirty the work might be. In
spite of their genteel appearances, hard
ly any Of the men had cent in their
pockets or knew where their next meal
was going to come from. Nearly all
of them were too proud to beg and their
well-dressed appearance would have
told against them had they resorted to
that plan.
San Frar cisco, Mr.. Richardson says,
Is rapidly filling up with the class of
men described above, who are fiocking
out there In great numbers In the hope
OF finding some employment around tho
midwinter fair. They usually land in
San Francisco nearly dead broke and
the great majority of them Will be COM
PEELED to walk back TO their eastern
homes. He also says that times are
worse In San Francisco than anywhere
else on the Pacific coast.

FRIGHTENED THE LADIES
A Quarrel Over Wages Terminates In a
Passenger Coach between Two
Montana Ranchers.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Feb. 9.-An ex-
citing incident occurred yesterday after
noon at Cascade, a small station short
distance south of this city. young
man named Cannon, who owns ranch
near Cascade, and a Swede named Ole
Olson, who has been working for him,
got on the south-bound train at that
point. The two had evidently been
having some trouble up town before the
train arrived, and Cannon was some
what under the influence of liquor and
very quarrelsome. The men got into
row on the platform Just as the train
pulled into Cascade and kicked each
other around little.
Olson went into one of the passenger
coaches and Cannon took seat In the
smoking car. He jumped up moment
later and, with an oath, started back
for the first class coach, saying he
would kill Olson. The passengers who
heard hts mutterings supposed that
they were nothing more than the mean
fngless threats of drunken man, but
Cannon was In deadly earnest, as was
shown moment later when the spite
full crack of a revolver rang out in the
rear car. The men In the smoker then
rushed into the car where the shooting
occurred to find Olson struggling to get
the still smoking revolver away from
Cannon, In which attempt he was finally
successful.
The ladies in the car were frightened
into Mysteries and the scene was one OF
wild excitement until Olson succeeded
in getting possession of Cannon's gun
which looked as big as cannon to the
terriAsd passengers. Cannon had goi
up close to O'son and began firing al
him point blank, hut the latter lodged
Just in time and the bullet flew over his
shoulder and hit the door about six feet
from the floor. From there it glanced
on and buried itself In the end of the
smoker. With people passing In and
out of the door ard the car nearly ful
of people, 1t is very fortunate no one
was hit.
Olson got OF the train at Cascade
but Cannon went on to Helena, where
his relatives reside.
