AT TER THE SLAUGHTER

ing Splendid Work.

| BUTTE, Jan. 31.-Now that it has been
established that 1t was giant powder, and
not wheelbarrows or candles, that ex-
ploded on the night of Jan. Is, measures
for the prevention of a repetition of the
terrible calamity on either a large or
small scale are being made. 1t is doubt
ful IL any giant powder whatever will be
Kept in the hardware stores for long
time at least, but they will all be closely
watched, nevertheless.
IL is certain that giant powder must be
used in enormous quantities as long as
Butte is mining camp. Enough must
necessarily be at hand in the mines at all
times Tor the purposes of mining and one
OF the mining companies alone probably
uses 600 pounds daily.
the various mines near Butte were all
visited yesterday and to-day by off
of the city. Some of the companies
already have every safeguard that is pos
sibie to prevent the explosion of powder
and some of the companies will at once
erect better and safer magazines in which
TO keep the powder.
Incidents illustrative of the gigantic
force of the powder are continually COM
ing TO light, and also relics are picked up
even yet which show how terrible was the
force at the burning building, and leave
no reason TO wonder that scarcely trace
has been found of the men who we're
working at the burning building at the
time OF the first explosion.
The top of the long hook used by the
tremen to tear off roofs and pull down
burning walls was found clear over on
Utah avenue. 1t was being used by SEINE
one of the firemen at the time of the ex-
plos on.
The upper portion of Fire Marshal
Cameron's lantern was also picked up
hundreds of feet from the explosion. 1t
was found several days ago, but the
finder did not think until to-day to take
II up TO the fire station. There il was
promptly recognized by FIRE Marshal
Lapp and others as having been Cam
eron's lantern, and was probably in his
hand when the explosion came.
City Marshal McNichols reports another
curious effect OF the explosion up town.
Besides smashing half the windows in
the main streets of Butte, nearly a score
OF business houses were unlocked by the
force of the explosion. Merchants who
had gone home came down to see what
the explosion was about and were sur
prlsed to find their doors unlocked.
The relief committee had little easier
time to-day. Not so much immediate at
tention to needs was required of them.
subscriptions were also scant. The Only
ones received since the STANDARDS last

down for some months. A few days ago
Mr.. DR. gigs decided to resume work and
he visited the mine TO look the ground
over and ascertain whether or not any re-

In looking into the condition of things
he was greatly surprised to find that all
of the pipe in the mine. from the surface
to the bottom level, had been removed.
The Pipe must have filled two or three
wagon loads and represented a cash value
of considerably over 81 ,OO0 Suspicion di-

and said that he considered it just one.
he discharged the jury with thanks for
the patience and diligence which they had
displayed.
When the inquest was resumed at 10
O'Clock this morning the train register of
the Montana Union, showing the receipt
of all car load lots of freight, and tie
books of the Kenyon-Connell and Butte
Hardware companies were handed to the
jury.
Charles Ball, who resides in Great Falls.
testified that he was at the Garrison house
when the fatal alarm was turned in on
the night of Jan. 10. He was not familiar
with the location of the warehouses, but
he said the first heavy explosion came
from the building which was on fire, and
flashed directly in the faces of the men
who we're around it. He was talking to
Switchman Thomas Burns when the first
explosion went oil. Burns told him that il
was the Keny ont onnell warehouse that
was on fire and that there was powder
it il.
Gus Freebooter testified as follows
"When the first heavy explosion occurred
was in the California brewery and when
heard that il ,was the warehouses that
were on fire / did not go to the scene as |
knew there was powder there. l never
saw any powder in the Kenyon-Connell
warehouse, but have seen it piled up as
high as my head in the Butte Hardware
building. / was in the Butte Hardware
company's warehouse on Thursday or
Friday before the explosion and saw n
pile of 10 or 20 boxes of powder in the
northwest corner of the building. The
boxes we're marked safety nitro-glycer-
ine.' l would swear there were Is boxes,
but not 20. l went to the warehouse for
sleigh shoe iron and got two boxes of it,"
The witness pointed out the Butte Hard
ware building on the map and said that
the powder he saw was in the northwest
corner of that warehouse.
There was a suspicion when Mr.. Fried
hofer gave his testimony that he had
made a mistake in the buildings, and one
of the jurors stated after the verdict was
returned that by q comparison of the
hardware company's books it was found
that Freebooter had got the sleigh iron at
the Kenyon-Connell warehouse and that
1t must have been there that he saw the
pile of powder.
The inquest lasted 10 days and the in
vestigation was about as thorough as il
could be made, nearly 140 witnesses being
examined. the total cost of the investi-
cation will be considerably under s.. 600.
County Attorney Wines was asked this
evening what the next step wou d be, and
he stated that in the absence of Judge
Speer of the criminal court judge Nc
Hatton would either call a grand Jury or
instruct him to file informations
against the parties named in the
verdict. He thought il probable that the
latter course would be pursued in order to |
avoid the expense of another investiga-
ton by grand jury.
