Bill Nye, the HumorIst, Has an Ex-
perience.
New YORK. Feb. 26.-Bill Nye has ar
rived here from Nassau, on the little
steamer Antilla. He had been wrecked
on the Ward line steamer Cienfugos, near
Nassau. Feb. 4. He FASTENED to the Ken
sington hotel and began writing letters to
kinsfolk and friends to tell them of his ar
rival. He wore a blue nautical suit and
yachting cap when a reporter arrived. In
the top buttonhole of his coat he wore a
brass anchor button, given him as a SOU
venir by the steward of the Cienfugos.
This is the badge of the Independent
Order of Shipwrecked Mariners" he said.
He had another souvenir-a table cover.
"a shipwrecked humorist," he said, sis

just see what people suffer for pleasure.
Sometimes, as Josiah Aliens wife says,
it becomes laborious and pleasure trip
becomes pleasure exertion.' There was
a whole party on the Cienfugos' trip to
the sunny tropics. There end of it was
that they were hauled out of bed in the
darkness and rain. l had not been out
of my stateroom more than three or four
minutes, before the water was breast high
in it. The first reef she crossed IN ust have
torn an immense hole in the ship. Every
body put on life preservers. One
of our boats, with Is people
in it, capsized. The people were rescued
by the colored Inhabitants of Harbor
island, an island about two miles away,
ana who had seen our rockets. The res
cuers reached us in a schooner soon after
daylight and sent their small boats over
the reef. Our boats were too large to get
over the reef. We were taken to the little
hamlet of Dunmoretown. 1t is, altogether,
a primative, funny little place. The peo-
pie live on one island. Their farms are
on another. They take more time and
labor in going to and from their places
than they do on the farms. There were
81 people in our company and not a soul
was lost, although the capsizing of the
boat was a serious matter 1t was the
most serious experience l ever had, except
the cyclone in Northern Wisconsin, when
had my leg crushed and lay in the woods

He DIED ON THE GRAVE
Touching Story Of a Faithful NeWfound-
land Dog.
GRIEF BROKE HIS HEART
Pathetic Sorrow of a Poor Brute
Whose Master. VIM. Copeland.
Was Killed BY the Big
Explosion In Butte.

BUTTE, Feb. 26.-The love and fidelity
oi dogs is historical, but there has never
been more touching instance of their
devotion recorded than one which has
Just occurred in Butte and which has oc-
casioned a great deal of interest and
comment among people who were famil-
lar with the circumstances and were in
tentiy watching the outcome. William
copeland, one of the volunteer firemen
who was killed in the memorable explo-
sion on the night of Jan. 15, was the pos
SCISSOR of a fine. big Newfoundland dog
who was noted for his intelligence and
love for his master.
On the night of the explosion Copeland
was at the central fire station when the
alarm was turned in, and the dog re-
manned at the station as he had been
trained to do when his master went to
hres. he became very restless after the
explosion and seemed to realize with an
almost human intelligence that something
terrible had happened. When the Quartz
street brigade went to the fire after the
last explosion, in response to second
alarm, the dog followed them down and
darted oil around the scene of destruction
ana death in search of his master, His
keen scent soon led him to Copeland's
mangled body and the faithful brute
bleeding wounds and whined in a most
pltlful manner. When the men who were
removing the bodies came to that of Cope
iahd they had hard work TO drive the dog
away and he followed close behind the
wagon TO the undertaking rooms.
All efforts to drive him away were USE
less and he remained close beside the
body until the day of the funeral, when
ne followed 1t to the grave. He then laid
uown on top OF the grave and remained
ihere. The poor brute presented a sad
picture OF sorrow and love, and he FREE
quently gave expression to his feelings in
low and piteous whines, which were as
sadly eloquent as words could have been
The sexton was touched by the dog's
devotion and, although in violation of the
rules of the cemetery, he allowed him to
remain, thinking he would soon go away.
lie was mistaken in this, however, for he
remained close by the grave. On the
second and third day the sexton took the
dog to his house and fed him and tried to
keep MIN there, but he soon escaped and
ran back to resume his faithful vigil The
sexton continued to feed him, but he was
not comforted and whenever an effort
was made to keep him at the house he
cried SO piteously that he was soon re-
leased. He paid not the slightest atten-
ton to the weather and was always at his
post, through both sunshine and storm.
ABOUT two weeks ago he refused to eat
ana II became apparent that he was dy-
ing OF grief and a broken heart. Food
was carried TO him at the grave, but he re-
fused to touch it, and few DAYS ago he
uled on the grave of the master whom he
had loved with love that was faithful 10
death.
The dog proved that he was much more
human than some men, and il is almost
kind burial.

Ledford and Ackerman Plead Guilty
Lulu Aliens Case.

1euioro ana AckermaD Plead Guilty
Lulu Aliens Case.
BUTTE, Feb. 26.-Thomas Ledford and
Bert Ackerman, charged with grand
larceny, were this morning permitted to
plead guilty to petty larceny and Judge
Speer fined them $50 each and costs, in
all amounting to S2l4. Mr.. Wines told
the court that 1t was doubtful if a con-
vlction of grand larceny could be secured
The case against William Ledford and
James Ledford, who were charged with
completely in the same offense, was dis
missed upon the statement of the county
attorney that he was convinced they had
nothing 20 do with the theft. The evil
dence is that Thomas Ledford, young
man who has a rather tough record i'm
Butte, and Bert Alderman, stole
"a quantity of iron pipe from the
Rockbreaker mine, in Horse canyon
near Columbia gardens, owned by r. NJ,
Cobban. A. L. briggs and j. II. Maloney,
and sold 1t to the other two Ledfords, who
buy large quantities of iron to use in their
copper precipitation works.
The next criminal case Sc. for trial in
Judge Speer's court is that of the frail
Lulu Allen, who swiped John O'Hara's
wad in a beer hall several days ago. The
trial will take place on Thursday, to which
time court adjourned.
The trial of the damage case of the
George j. Davis Paper q Paint company
against Sheriff Reynolds was concluded in
Judge McHatton's court this evening and
the jury then brought in verdict for the
plaintiff for $1,000 and interest at 10 per
cent. from Aug. "a, 1898. The real de-
PENDANTS in the case are Burge & Sons of
Buffalo. n. Y. The company had a claim
against George j. Davis for 81 1.916, for
goods sold and delivered. Without pay
ing the claim Davis transferred his stock
of wall paper and paint to the George j.
Davis company, n new firm, and Burge
& Sons claimed that the transfer
was fraudulent and that it was made for
the sole purpose of defrauding Davis
creditors, and an attachment suit was
brought and the stock sold by the sheriff
for $500. About $500 in costs were in
Cured through the attachment. The !
Davis company then brought suit for |
SS,OOO damages, for the value of the at |
tached stock, and, as stated, secured a |
verdict. Thompson Campbell was attor- |
ney for the Davis company and T. I. Nc |
Bride represented the defendant. |

FOR THE SCHOOL ELECTION.
A Committee Appointed to Look After
the Matter.

BUTTE, Feb. 26.-E. b. How ell, chair
man of the citizens committee on the
nomination of school trustees, has ap.
pointed j. r. Wharton, II. c. Kessler,
Samuel Mulville, Z. A. Elvers and
Thomas L. Baker as "a committee to look
after the interests of the ticket nominated
few days ago. The men appointed on
the committee will add strength to the
ticket, as they are all enthusiastic for the
movement to improve the character of
the school board. Besides conducting the
campaign the committee will be at the
polls and see that only qualified voters
are permitted to vote. 1t is a well-known
fact that at past elections boys and girls
and others who were not qualified to vote
were allowed to do so and the election
conducted in other ways that were dis
graceful.
The ticket nominated last Saturd aywas
the first one nominated in a public con-
vention in a number of years. The can
didates elected at the last two or three
elections were made by a few persons,
but the people are beginning to see the
necessity of taking more interest in the
affairs of the schools.
1t is reported that Mr.. Reimel one of
the present board of trustees, intends 10
resign. The reason for the threatened
action is said to be the fact that there has
been considerable criticism of the work
done by himself and Mr.. Hawley for the
district, for which they have drawn hun
dreds OF dollars contrary to the law, which
says no trustee shall be interested in any
contract with the school district.
In view of the fact that there is no pro- |
vision for the publication of the proceed |
ings of the board of trustees and reporters |
have been excluded from the board meet |
ings, there is some talk of an examina-
tion of the affairs of the district by a citi- |
zens' committee, and the matter may De |
placed before the chamber of commerce. |
Such an examination would not be re- |
fiection on the honesty of the board of |
but would probably quiet the |
criticism directed toward the |
rather secret proceedings of the board.

Minnie Young'S Mother Asks to Have
ths Case Dismissed.
THE CHILD IS NERVOUS
II Was Thought II Would Be a Hard
ship Upon Her to Compel Her
to Testify In the Case So the
Matter Was Dropped.

BUTTE, Feb. 26.-The charge of commit
ting a criminal assault, which had been
preferred against John Opie of Meader-
vile, by Mrs. Augusta Young, mother of
Minnie Young, the alleged victim of the
assault, was this morning dismissed in
the district court on motion of County At
torney Wines. Several weeks ago Opie
had preliminary trial before Judge Kirk
wood and was bound over to the district
court under $500 bail. few DAYS ago
Mrs. Young wrote n letter to Mr.. Wines
and requested him to dismiss the case for
the reason that her daughter feels the hui
initiation so keenly that it was doubtful if
she would be able to testify in open court,
and for the further reason that Mrs.
Young desired to send the girl away TO
school on account of the affair, and if the
girl were held as a witness at the trial Ii
would result in a great injury to her.
This morning Mr.. Wines presented a
written request to Judge Speer for permis-
sion not to file an information against
Opie, which was granted and his bail bond
exonerated. Mr.. Wines related that the
testimony at the preliminary trial showed
that the crime, If committed at all, was
committed nearly two years ago, and that
the only testimony of a felonious assault
was the testimony of the little girl who
claims to have been the object of the as
sault. There was no testimony what.
ever to show that a rape was ever
committed or that the child was
injured or that complaint of the alleged
assault was ever made until the time of
the defendants arrest few weeks ago
In the judgment of Mr.. Wines it would

If possible, under no circumstances
should a conviction be secured on the tes-
timony. In the opinion of the attorney
