DURRANT TALKS
Says that When the Trial Is Over
the WCrld Will Know Him
Innocent
OF TIVE HORRIBLE MURDER
Sensational Itum0r Concerning Dur.
rants Action Toward a Young
Girl-Inquest.

SAN FRANcIsco, April 29.-For the
first time since the charge of numbering
Miss Marion Williams in Emanuel Bap
tlst church was made against Durrant
Speaking Of the Lamont case he said
Judging by the newspaper communica,
tons ! am looked upon as acold-hlooded
diabolical monster. Very little is said
in favor of the possibility of any other
person having killed these two girls. but
when my trial is over the world will
know | am innocent, My composure
and self control since my arrest are held
against me-, but no person will ever know
the terrible ordeal | am undergoing. 1t
is said that | use opiates to induce sleep.
That is a he. | am able to sleep we'll
because my conscience is clear of all
crime"
Durrant accuses the police of working
solely from the premise that he was
guilty and ignoring all other clews.
Today the inquest in the Lamont case
began and tomorrow the preliminary ex-
animation in the Williams murder case
will be resumed. A sensational rumor
has obtained currency to the effect that
an Oakland official has informed Chief of
Police Crowley that an Oakland physi-
clan told him a fellow-practitioner Of
San Francisco had informed him that
some time ago he had been called upon
to attend the Dyear.old daughter of a
resident of San Francisco who had been
assaulted, She alleged that Durrant
lured her into the belfry Of Emanuel
church and there accomplished his ne
farious purpose. For professional rea-
SONS, it is alleged, this physician refused
to make the matter public. Durrant
was taken from his cell in the city
prison Saturday and formally charged
with the murder of Blanche Lamont.

zens who should subscribe to the stock
1t says further that as a Butte meeting
will inuie to the benefit of Helena, by &c.
curing II meeting there, and as there is
plenty of capital in Helena seeking good
Investment, such of the stock as is not
subscribed by residents of Butte should
be eagerly taken by the capitalists of the
capital. 1t also suggests that if the
proposition is put into effect half of Hell
era should attend the inaugural meeting
To give it a good send off and make it a
success. Between the lines the Inter
Mountain lntimates that Helena owes
Butte at least this courtesy for past fav-
ors. and in ii spirit Of neighborly reci-
procity should be glad to have an oppor-
tunity to pay the debt.
lhls, IN brief, is the racing situation
as it stands at present. If there are to
be any races in the state the Butte bust
ness men will have to put up for them.
1t Will require considerable cash and the
risk is great, but now that Butte has a
chamber OF commerce it ought not to be
much OF a trick to raise $4,000 or $50
900 to establish a race track and main
tain it. There is, therefore, no reason
why rich Butte should not he equal TO
the emergency and hold the races. even
though Mr.. DAILY refuses to foot the bill.

NICAR
Are Massed in Battle Array and Will
Probably Open Fire on
the British
If THEY GROW AGGRESSIVE
The People Generally Sustain Their
Government i'm the Stand 1t
Has Taken.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, via Galveston
April 29.-The commander of the Mica.
raguan troops on the main land of Mic.
aragua reported at 8 o'clock this morn
ing that the British flag is still floating
over the public building of Corinto, and
the port remained in the possession of
British warships. Among the Nicara-
guam troops and the popu}ace the great.
est excitement prevails and the feeling
against Great Britain is increasing in
bitterness every hour. The N~icaraguans
are still massed along Paso Cabello and
it is believed they may open fire on the
British should the latter make any at
tempt to cross from Corinto to the main
land. Steps have been taken to destroy
the NEAR of communication with the
interior should such action be found
necessary. The British consulate in this
city remains under guard in view of the
rioting and stone throwing which have
already occurred and in anticipation of
further trouble. Some European con
suls are using their good offices with the
government to persuade it to submit to
Great Britain, pleading in support of
their arguments the fact that the United
States has determined to remain neutral
and Nicaragua is helpless when opposed
to such a power as Great Britain. AL
though the Nicaraguan forces opposite
Corinto are in communication with the
capital actual Geographic communica-
ton with Corinto remains interrupted
and it is thought likely there will be no
attempt to repair the telegraph lines as
long as the British remain in possession
of the port. Ia spite of reports to the
contrary, the people of Nicaragua gen.
orally sustain the government in the
stand it has taken against Great Britain,
and though in all probability Nicaragua
may eventually be compelled to pay the
indemnity demanded it is believed the
trade of Great Britainwith Nicaragua and
other Central American republics will
suffer in consequence of the action of the
British fleet at Corinto. The British
governor in command at Corinto has
charge Of the custom house, but as the
Nlcaraguan government has declared
the port closed it is difficult to see how
he will be able to collect customs dues
there.

Butte and Helena ara Just now con

look for races or the Montana circuit
this summer, Ten days or two weeks of
racing in each Of the cities means quite
an influx of people and the circulation of
considerable money, and for this reason
the events the coming season were look
Ell forward to With much interest. In
view of tine large purses and successful
attendance in the past it was expected
that many stables not heretofore partici-
pating would be on and the sport and
the harvest rich. But there has been a
sudden and unlocked for set back. The
announcement has been made that no
meetings would be held, or rather no
purses offered by the Anaconda as.
ISOLATION, or the West Side association
of Butte, and with these cities left out
there would not be sufficient induce
ment to outside horsemen to bring their
flyers here. In other words the circuit
would be a failure. This decision of the
associations named has thrown con
into the Butte and Helena
camps and has been the subject of much
comment in the press of the two cities.
