BUTTE, April 25.-For several days COM
plants have been received at the sheriff $
office from residents in the vicinity of the
Colorado smelter regarding the actions of
a gang of six or seven hoboes. 1t is stated
that they have been SO bold as to walk
into houses when women were alone and
pick up anything they could lay their
hands on. One case was reported where
they went into a house and took boiling
dinner off the stove in the presence of the
woman of the house aud carried il off.
1t was also stated that the gang had q
lot of jewelry which they occ lsionaliy
tried to sell and which they had evidently
stolen. Yesterday several men offered a
diamond for sale to Henry Williams. He
declined the bargain. The sherif's off,
GERS made several trips out there, but a
thorough search of the abandoned mines
and buildings failed to discover the where
abouts of any of them.

yesterday afternoon was disinterred by
Undertaken Richards this morning in or
der to satisfy her parents that she was
really dead. The body presented an I'M
usually lifelike appearance at the funeral
yesterday afternoon. which attracted gen.
eral comment and a great many women
expressed the belief that the girl was
simply in a trance. These stories were
carried to Mrs. Trewin by so many of her
friends that she finally came to the con-
clusion that her daughter had been buried
alive, and this fear caused her the most
intense anguish.
Last evening Mr.. Trewin had q long
talk with the undertakers, who assured
him that there was no possible doubt as
to the girls death and that the embalm-
ing fluid which had been injected into her
veins was itself sufficient 10 kill dozen
people. The parents demanded ocular
proof that they we're mistaken. however,
and the body was accordingly disinterred
this morning and all doubts removed.
