The Ch1rming Lille Actress Added to
Her Already Great Popularity.
BUTTE, Feb. 1.-THE lasting popularity
OF Katie Putnam was evinced tonight by
the big house which greeted her annual
visit to Butte. She opened her engage
ment with her new play. "The Old Lime
Kim" play in which a Montana audi
ence should take special delight, as the
scene of the plot is laid in the Yellowstone
country and part of 1t in Montana, with
Katie Putnam as the Mountain hoyden
and Harry Emery as Montana ranch
man, with his spurs. 1t afterwards leads
into society, where things are not
so delicate and refined, but the
air OF the western plains per.
vades II throughout, just rs the
spirit of the West follows people
wherever they 60 and the audience fol-
lowed the fortunes of the characters
through devious ways aud remarkable
complications. "The Old Lime Kilnn Is
perhaps one of the best plays in Miss Put.
MANS repertoire, and the character of
Mia. the untamed terror of the Yellow
stone, gives her good scope for her pecu-
llarly clever genius. Her support is bet
ter than the average. Tomorrow the bill
will be Love Finds Way" which win
also be given at the Wednesday matinee.

judgment For Kusseil.

The old case of j. II. Russell against the
board OF school trustees was tried before
Judge Mediation to-day and resulted in a
verdict for Mr.. Russell for S1,iO0 and in
tcrest at 10 per cent. for about three
years. The suit has been pending since
January, 1892, and grew out of the brilliant
management of school officers by tho
r ley school board. Mr.. Russell had been
employed by the district to auperiutend
the district schools at s., 400 year. After
he had served five months the board dc.
manded his resignation. which ho refused
10 hand in, and he was discharged. Mr..
Russell then brought suit for the salary
due for the remaining seven months of
his term. The board. in order to Justify
their course, pleaded that there was
no law under which a superintendent
OF city schools could be employed. and
they also claimed to have the right to dis
charge an employe whenever they saw fit.
The testimony at the trial to-day showed
that Mr.. Russell was teacher as well as
superintendent and Judge Mediation
ruled that, under the implied power of
the board. they had right to employ Mr..
Russell in the capacity he filled and that
the fact that he was called a superintend-
ent did not preclude him from being a
teacher. John Il. Forbis and j. b. Well
come represented Mr.. Russell in the trial
and Mr.. Haldorn appeared for the board
of trustees.

THE SHIP WAS AGROUND.

But the Passengers Discovered That Fact
In a Roundabout Way.
It must be about ten years since was
returning to this country from New
York on board one of the Anchor line
boats~ We left quite early in the morn
ing, and were steaming down the bay
in high hopes of pleasant trip. We
soon got into a thick fog, and after
passing Sandy Hook at about quarter
speed the ship ran aground. The ma
jority of the passengers, however, knew
nothing of our plight, for the propeller
kept on churning up the water in fran
tic efforts to get the vessel off the mud,
and the fog was SO dense that very few
people noticed we were not making
Roadway.
The captain dispatched his first officer
to Sandy Hook to telegraph the position
Of affairs to the agents, but as the en-
gines were still kept going no one sus-
pected that anything unusual had &C.
Cured
Presently the boat returned, but no
questions were asked, and no one seem
ed to have the idea that there was any
need to ask them
Two or three hours passed, and an
ocean tug came alongside out Of the fog.
Newsboys came on board to sell their
papers, and did a good business Eek
trar Extrar!' was their cry, and these
'extrars' contained Oh the front page

were disposing Of them
Great Scott!' exclaimed one man
who had invested in paper, "don 4
these papers know how to lie? Here s
one saying now that our ship has run
aground!'
$50 we are, and likely to remain, y
answered all officer, upon which the
passenger ran to the side Of the vessel
and looked over in order to convince
himself.
The news now, Of course, began to
spread all over the ship, but it was too
much for everybody when a quarter of
an hour later stout old gentleman
sprang up from his seat and yelled,
Jerusalem we're aground and then
ran full tilt along the deck in fearful

In One Instance m Innocent Man Was Sem

In recent paper appeared an account
was Killed by the discharge Of a gun
while lying asleep on lounge in his
room. the weapon being discharged by
reflected rays Of the sun falling upon
the cartridge chamber Of the firearm.
Since the publication of the story a
correspondent from York, Pa, writes
concerning the accident and refers to a
similar case, in which, through the eff
forts Of clever Cincinnati lawyer
named G. G. Wallis, the person accused
Of murder and sentenced to be hanged
was set at liberty, the circumstantial
evidence on which he was convicted be.
ing entirely exploded by witnessed
demonstration as to how the accident
really occurred
The York correspondent referred tC
volume 19 Of The Criminal Law Maya
zine, page COZ, on which full account
Of the case appears, The case was that
of the state of Tennessee against Avery,
tried in Henry county, that state, and
is one OF the most remarkable in the
history Of criminal jurisprudence.
In June, 1887, Charles Ensley, the
cousin Of man of the name of Avery,
was killed in his room while lying on
lounge, about 8 o'clock in the after
noon. The weapon which caused the
death was a small rife, sending 80
caliber ball through Ensley's brain. Nc
one was in the house at the time but
Ensley. An empty rifle was found lying
on rack on wall Of the room in which
the killing occurred, and the bullet fit
ted the tube.
Avery was arrested for the crime, as
he was the only living close relative tc
Ensley, and by his death profted to the
amount Of about $500, 900. Avery was
tried, pleaded not guilty, but was con-
victed Of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to be hanged. He appealed to
the. supreme court and engaged Mr..
Wallis to defend him. The supreme
court remanded the case back to the cir.
cult court on technical errors Two
mistrials were brought about, and then
came the strangest part of the story.
The brilliant Wallis struck the keynote
to the mystery. In August, 1891, he
had the rifle loaded and hung on the
WALL A white sheet with the form Of a
man marked on it was placed in exact
~ the position occupied by Ensley when
lying asleep, and a heavy cut glass pitch
er Of water like the one found in the
room was placed on the shelf above.
The temperature was 80 degrees in the
shade, one of the hottest days of the
year.
The pitcher acted as a sunglass, and
the hot rays Of the sun shining through
the water were refracted directly on the
cartridge chamber Of the rifle.
Eight witnesses were in the room,
and few minutes after o'clock puff
and report occurred, and the ball
struck the outlined form back of the cal
in the exact location where Ensley was
shot, and the theory of circumstantiaI
evidence went to pieces. The incident,
being witnessed and sworn to, readily
explained itself to the jury.-Cincinna.
