Butte, Mont. Nov. 24.-TSpecial. j
William Coombs. a young Cornishnlan,
and q, member of the A. P. A, was this
morning acquitted of the murder of
NJery Council, an Irish Catholic. on
bthe Fourth OF July.
The murder was the outgrowth of the
Heligious. riot in Butte on that day
1sAs evidence against Coombs was con-
siSered positive but the jury acquitted
him, after being out "a hours.
Great indignation has been aroused
and Coombs is held in Jail for protec-
tion.
During the trial, one of the attorneys
for the defense boasted that there were
eleven or twelve A. P. AS on the jury.
It is we'll known fact that that or
Eanization contributed $1,000 for the de-
Tense. Judge Speer was so indignant
at the verdict that hes dismissed the
jurors from further service at the term
of court
Affidav1ts were made this evening to
the effect that one of the jurors said
he would convict no man for killing
Gsd-d Irishman."

MONUMENT 10 PROCTOR.
1t VIII Probably Take the Form OF
an Observatory.

San Diego, Gala, Nov. PA PROPOSE
ton is now well under way to erect on
Mount San Miguel, about Is miles from
this city, an observatory with the larg-
est telescope in the world, an observa-
tory in which all civilized nations shall
have not only a scientific, but a financial
interest The scheme at first reading is
SO stupendous that it seems visionary.
Negotiations have been going on for sew
eral years and have reached a stage
where 1t was impossible to longer keep
the matter a secret.
1t has been known for years that the
wife OF Sir Richard A. Proctor has been
DESTROYS of founding memorial in honor
of her deceased husband, who, when liv-
ing, was a brilliant luminary in the as
Economical world. Mrs. Proctor finally
selected from personal observation and
experiment the summit of Mount San
Miguel. Contributions for construction
are asked from all civilized nations, as
well as governments and individuals.
The practical reasons for the selection
of Mount San Miguel by Mrs. Proctor
are the remarkab BILE clearness of the at
mosphere, the freedom of that locality
from fogs and the unequaled number of
cloudless nights, and days. 1t is posi-
lively asserted that nowhere on the globe
do the same conditions obtain.

The complimentary ball given last evening by the citizens of Prescott to the officers and ladies of Whipple, was a most brilliant social event The society going ladies and gentle men of both places were all in attendance, with but few exceptions. The city nall building was most beautifully decorated with streamers and Chinese lanterns. pictures and wreaths, under the superintendency of Henry Goldwater.
 The quintette of the Whipple orchestra furnished the music for the occasion, and dancing was in dulged in until about midnight, when an elegant collatiou, prepared by the ladies, was served in the adjoining room, after which dancing was again resumed and continued until far along towards morning. Everything passed of pleasantly, and 1t was universally conceded that it was one of the most pleasant social gatherings experienced in Prescott for a long time.
 The dance programmes were a novel and unique feature of the entertainment, differing from the ordinary dance programmes, while the namo of each of the lady guests from Whipple was painted on her card. Mir. Henry Goldwater deserves much of the credit due for the com plete success of the affair, as he superintended the arrangements and decorations.

KIRKLAND VALLEY. Aug. 30.- Spec ial Correspondence Track laying continues and at the present time the end of the track IS opposite Morgan's ranch.
 Pat Linsky, the genial foreman, isn't much to look at, but when it comes to mailing down the iron he gets there with both feet and his hands.
 4 side track and two spurs have been put in three quarters of a mile from Morgan's ranch. No doubt this will be q station of no small i'm portance, being the nearest point to the Red Buck, Peoples valley, Wal nut Grove and other prominent points. What will be the name of the new station we are unable to learn, but to judge by the cadaveF- ousness of previous station, Skull Valley this should by right be quite a rude (Rudy) place.
 It is said that Jim Gray will bring in wild cat scalp and claim the bounty on such, having captured one recently through the hypnotiz- ing influence of his engine and big club.
