STOLE A COPS CLOTHES
Harry Allen Has Got Pretty Low Down
Sure Enough.
HE'S IN THE ROOT HOUSE
When the Opportunity Presented
itself He hobbsd an Officer,
One John J. HaIlahan,
But Was Caught

BUTTE, Jan. IA sneak thief is getting
pretty low down when he steals from
Butte policeman, but that is what a NOR
phine tiend named Harry Allen did to-
night. About l o'clock Officer Walsh
noticed Allen come out of the D'Acheul
block in East Park street with big bun
die over his shoulder and surmislng that
tue bundle consisted of plumber he shad-
owed the man in the hope that he would
discover some more stolen property.
Allen walked up Wyoming street, and
at the corner of Granite he discovered
that he was being followed and started to
run. Officer Baldisero had been quietly
watching the proceedings, however, and
when Allen started to run he mixed in and
ordered hun to stop, winch command was
disobeyed and was quickly followed up
with a shot, which rounded the thief to in
short order. He showsd a very bad tenn
per and had TO be half dragged to the jail.
His bundle was found TO consist of a
coat and vest.-;wo pairs of pants, several
suits OF underwear, some Of which had
never been worn, and n miscellaneous
condemnation of other gents furnish
ings, all wrapped up in a bedspredd.
Allen told BaldIsero when he ordered him
TO stop that the bundle was his washing
and then he threw the bundle right in
front OF the policeman so that ype would
stumble over it.
On investigation IL was found that tho
clothing had been stolen from the room
occupied by officer Jack Hallahan and
Jack Lahee, and these gentlemen after
wards identified their property. Allen
rented a room in the D'Achell block This
evening so that his presence there would
not create any suspicion and there is no
doubt that il was his intention TO go
through several other rooms before morn
ing. He was supplied with bunch of
keys, with one of which he opened the
door of the room which he went through.
Allen is a notorious sneak thief, and
the police believe he belongs to a regu-
larly organized gang which has its head
quarters in East Galena street. a charge
of burglary in the night time was placed
against him and he was locked up at the
county jai!
V. FIfer, n tailor was held up and robbed

JAKEY USED HIS KNIFE
R. C. F. Blum3 Is Dangerously
Wounded.
MAY BE ANOTHER MURDER
A Dispute About an Election Bet
sends One Musician to the
Hospital and Another to
the County Jail.

BUTTE, Jan. 1.-R. c. F. Blume was Sc
riously stabbed by "Jakey" Schiller al 3
O'Clock this morning, and there is a pos
sibllIiy that the affair will end in another
murder case. Both of the participants
are musicians and are we'll known. Blume
is "A trombone player in the Anheuser-
Busch, where the row occurred, and Schil-
Ter is a piano player in tho Cremorne
concert hall.
1t appears from the stories told by
friends of the men, who were familir with
their difficulty, that the trouble started
over an election BET of hat. Blume won
and Schiller, for some reason, refused to
buy the piece of headgear. Blume re-
minded him of the bet every time they
met, and considerable bad blood was en-
gendered.
The men met in the Anheuser-Busch
again asked about the hat that was prom
Used but never came. After some words
had passed between them Blume good
naturedly made a grab for Schiher's hat,
with the remark that he would take it in
payment of the debt.
1t is said that Schiller always goes
armed with either a gun or a knife, and as
Blume grabbed for his hat he stepped
back and quickly drawing a stilletto with
a long, thin blade, he drove it into Blume's
breast a little above the waist.
He then left the saloon and went
to his home on Broadway, west of Mis-
soula Rulch, where he was arrested about
half an hour later. Blume's wound bled
but very little externally and il was
thought at first that the knife had only
just puncturtd the flesh. He was taken
TO his home at No. 119 Nevada avenue in
hack and every jar of the carriage
seemed to cause hum the most excruciat-
ing pain. He refused to have a physician,
however, as he believed the injury to be
only slight and he did not want his wife to
know that he had been hurt, as she has
been very sick for so me time.
This morning one of his friends visited
him and found him in great pain. His
abdomen was considerably swollen and
il did not require an experienced eye to
tell that The injury was far more serious
than had been at first supposed.
DR.. Bryant was summoned and he found
that the abdominal swelling due to
internal hemorrhage from some of the
punctured organs. Blume was removed
TO the sisters hospital this afternoon and
laparotomy will he performed on him to-
morrow by Drs. Bryant and Johnson to
relieve the hemorrhage. This operation
will determine the exact extent of Blume's
injuries. but the doctors state that his
condition is serious.

Reliance team was composed of eX-col-

players on the coast.
The Chicago team will leave tomorrow

The display of fruits and farm pro-
ducts was interesting, and was taste
fully arranged The windows and the
pulpit were almost hidden from sight
under a mass of fruits of all varieties.
The Rev DR.. Samuel Schwarm, pas
tour of the church, preached a sermon
suggested by the annual celebration Of
Harvest Home, on last Sunday. The
addresses yesterday Afternoon We're

pointed out its advantages to old and
young alike. Mr. Atkinson spoke in
the same vein, but also dwelt upon the
significance of the Harvest Home eXer-
cises. A special musical programme
was rendered.
