THREE DESPERADOES
They Hold Up John Il. Murphy in TIL
Glare Of Electric Light
MAKE GOOD THEIR ESCAPE
The Robbery Occurred In East
Broadway. Not r ar From the
McDermott HoteI-1he Vic
tim Was Badly Frightened.

There have been a good many dar-
ing robberies in Butte during recent
years, but the climax was reached last
evening, when John III. Murphy was
held up in front of the VIII house in
East Broadway, near the corner of Ari-
IONA The robbery occurred between
800 and 10 o'clock, at which hour
broadway is usually far from deserted
and even with no danger from inter
ference by passing pedestrians. IL is
not spot that would be picked out by
the average footpad as an advantage
Gus place for a hold-up. There Is an
electric light at the corner of Broad
way and Wyoming and another at the
corner of Arizona, and with the lights
OF the McDermott hotel the block is so
well lighted that the robber who would
undertake TO ply his vocation in that
vicinity must necessarily be an I'M
usually reckless and desperate individ-
ual.
Murphy was walking east on Broad
way last evening at the hour named
when three fellows stopped out from
the shadow of the Will house and
commanded him to throw up his hands.
Although the McDermott hotel bar was
less than 20 yards away and a call for
help would have brought prompt as
sistance. Murphy's lung power was
temporarily paralzyed by the sight of
the threatening revolvers that were un-
tremendously pushed under his nose
and he quickly elevated his hands
While one of the footpads kept him
covered the others made a hurried but
thorough search of his pockets and re-
heved him of $35. Not satisfied with
taking all his money, one Of the thieves
coolly appropriated a new hat which
Murphy was wearing and threw his old
hat into the street. AS soon as the
robbers disappeared around the corner
Murphy ran to the police station and
after he had quieted down considerably
told of the experience he had had. Cap
tain Waters and several officers made
an immediate search for the robbers
but were unable to locate them None
OF them wore masks and Murphy gave
the police a description Of them which
may lead to their detection. Murphy is
employed at the Mountain Con mine.

EVERYBODY LAUGHED.
"a Railroad Ticket" Is just What IL 10
Advertised to BE-.

Freeman's Fun Makers are all right
and their promises were fully redeemed
at Maguire's opera house. "A Railroad

and IL provoked a continuous laugh from
the rise of the curtain on the first act
until II fell at the end of ,he perfor-
nance. The gallery went wild and every
performer In the cast was called back
again and again. Eugene Garfield as
Chips is as funny as he ever was In "A

singing, some beautiful and eccentric
dancing, some clever burlesque acting
and whole lot of ridiculous and absurd
situations. The house was filled and will
be packed tonight. There is no doubt of
that. for every one who was there last
night is talking and still laughing about

RUSH ALASKA GOLD FIELDS
People Are Going There In Every Pos ,ibIe
Form OF Graft.


Form OF Graft.
Purser Taylor of the steamship Will
lapa. which arrived on the sound from
Alaska Sunday, was in Tacoma the
other day and said:
II believe 5000 people will go to Alas
ka this spring. People will be going
there in open sailboats, launches and
In every way they can get there and no
doubt many will be shipwrecked and
drowned. Already the demand for tick
ct and passenger accommodations al
most exceeds the limit OF the steamers
running TO Alaskan ports One hun
dred and twenty people had already
started to cross the Chikoot and Chill
kat passes to the Yukon gold field, be-
fore the Willapa started south. The
ground was covered with deep snow.
II would advise no one to start to
Juneau just at present. Not more than
20 men are employed at the present in
the few mines running. The majority
of the mines will not be open until some
time in March. I know a first class
miner of Tacoma who is at present
shovellng snow on the wharf at Ju-
neau at a dollar a day. However. II
the mines which will be opened this
spring turn out well more men will be
employed and times will be better in
Alaska this year than ever before II
the mines are not good the reverse may
be true.
The Wallapa will be in Tacoma on
Wednesday and will leave on the after
noon of that day for the north. We
Will have about so passengers"

MYRIADS OF SMELT.
Fishermen and Pleasure Parties Gather
Them by BCatloads

rshermen ana Pleasure Parties Gather
Them by BoatIosds
The sea gulls had a feast, and fisher
men and pleasure parties boatriding on
the sound, had a picnic Sunday, says
the Tacoma Ledger. Dynamite explo-
sions made in the channel from the
ocean dock nearly to the foot of Fiji
teenth street either killed or badly
shocked hundreds of thousands OF
smelt, with which the bay seemed to be
literally working. The dynamite was
used to ascertain for a certainty wheth-
er Mrs. Cody's body was in the bay. In
some places the outgoing tide was
white with their bodies. The gulls soon
discovered the feast of good things pre-
pared for them and fell to with COM
mendable good will. There was a GER
tain current Of water just west of the
st. Paul mill docks upon which millions
OF the stupefied fish appeared to be
floating. Over this current a cloud of
gulls lowered for a great part of the
afternoon, gorging themselves. The
bright weather brought out many
pleasure parties, who were rowing on
the bay. These gathered fish from the
waters as the Israelites gathered man
ma from the earth. Fishermen also rig
ged up boats and Scooped up all they
wanted. They fioated close enough in
shore for many to fill tin pals. impro-
vised sacks or anything else that would
hold fish. 1t was curious to notice the
fish lying on the water. Many of them
appeared to have been stunned only by
the great shocks they had received. A
fish lying motionless on the surface
would begin to stiffly wriggle and per-
haps slowly roll over on it's belly, but
this effort would use up all it's strength
for the time and it would again turn
over on its back and lie perfectly quiet.
Quite a number of Goldfish were also
seen floating on the water. At every
explosion made they came to the top
by the thousands

THE THREE LINK BALL..
THEIR MAGNIFICENT HALL IS
THROWN OPEN TO PUBLIC
INSPECTION.
Many Guests Entertained in a Royal
Misunderstanding and Music Made
Up a Program Which Was Highly
Enjoyed by All in Attend
ance.

For the first time the public OF Lara,
ME had an opportunity, last evening,
to inspect the elegant hall just COM
pleted by the Independent Order Of Odd
Fellows in this city. 1t is a well-con-
%structed. two-story brick building, and
from top to bottom 1t is as neat as a pin.
The lodge room is on the second floor,
and it is no cXaggeration to say that 1t
ished in the most tasty and elegant
manner. Aside from the excellent
judgment of the hall committee from
the two lodges, the order is indebted in
a large degree for the beauty Of its
furnishings to Mr.. l.. s. Bartlett. un-
der whose superior knowledge and
skill the work of furnishing was per-
formed. In his particular line he has
few equals.
The lodge room proper is 38x50, 80
feet being cut off the front end of the
building for ~ante-rooms. property
rooms, etc. The first Narge ante
which one enters is also intended to be
used for a banquet All modern
improvements have been provided for
the use Of the membership. who believe
that the best is non too good.
A grand ball was given by the Odd
Fellows last evening, just to initiate
the new edifice, and it was a success in
every detail. The grand march was
called at . o'clock by Prompter Rauner
and from that time till the strains OF
the Home. Sweet Home waltz were
sounded by the Nagel orchestra, all
was merriment and jollity.
One of the leading features Of the en-
tertainment was the excellent supper
have tempted the palate Of a king. The
banquet room on the second floor was
used for this purpose, and the large
crowd was accommodated in a manner
which was entirely pleasing.
During the evening those who did
not care to dance repaired to the beau
tiful lodge room above. listened to
sweet music by the mandolin club and
enjoyed themselves In social converse.

when We have done our days work we

may be good enough to make q limited

this or any other one nations credit is
not good enough to make the silver OF
the world worth 100 cents on the dollar
by placing it's stamp on 1t at 16 to 1.
Therefore 1t would be worth Just what
