BUTLER ON A NEW TRACK.
The Australian Murderer Tells the
Constable Another Fairy Tale.

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-Murdcrer Frank
Butler yesterday took Constable COnroy,
of Sydney, into his confidence, and told
him more Of the details of Capt. Weller's
murder than have been told to any one
else. He told Conroy at least two men
beside himself had intimate knowledge
of Weller, and that he would cause their
arrest after arriving in Sydney.
He told him that the real murderers of
Capt Weller had prevailed upon him to
accept the effects of the dead man. He
says the murderers whom he had as his
companions forced him TO take Weller S
valise and it's contents, and he, never
dreaming that anything would ever come
of the case, consented. He very earn
estly begged the aid of the Australian
officer to clear up the case, as he was
sure that by telling the truth and having
his acconplices arrested, he would escape
the gallows by t,ecpming queens wit
ness.
The murderer is coneealing much that
he will probably give out in day ortwo,
as he is weak ening under the strain. The
police can see a great change in him,
and they think that he Will soon tell the
whole story.

The following interesting extracts are
taken from It:
Not far from the main building
stands the mechanical engineering
building, which is a very substantial
and useful building. 1t contains a reci-
tation room and the school Of mechani-
cal engineering, which comprises the
boiler room, forge room, iron working
room, wood working room, foundry etc.
all Of which are completely fitted with
the latest apparatus.
The new addition to the green house
makes that place twice its former size,

THE WoODMEN LECTURE.
Gen. John C. Kennedy Addressed the
Local Membership.

In spite of the fact that there were
the wind was blowing a gale, a fairly
good attendance was secured by the
Woodmen to greet General John C.
Kennedy, the able editor Of the Pa
cific Woodman. The lecture really
proved to be three, for State Examiner
Harry B. Henderson offered some
words of good cheer and the Very Rev.
Dean Mallett spoke in his happy style
to the assemblage, in turn exciting the
disabilities and charging the intellects
Of his pleased and interested auditors.
Council Commander w. E. Archibald
acted as master Of ceremonies in his
usual capable manner. and music was
furnished by the Mandolin club and a
quartette consisting Of Messrs. Tefft,
Lee, Grass and Merz, accompanied by
Mrs. F. w. Lee. Another number on
the program was an excellent recita-
ton by Miss Petra Peterson.
Mr.. Kennedy's address was a strong
appeal on behalf Of fraternal organiza-
lions in general and the Woodmen So
ciety In particular. First, he called at
tention to the duty we owe to our fell
low men, and se""! q, the duty we owe
to ourselves and dependent ones and
endeavorcd to show the sacred duty
every man has to perform in providing
for his wife and little ones. He spoke
Of Woodcraft and its organization in
the Pacific Jurisdiction seven years ago,
now numbering over 80, and having
paid to the widows and orphans over
1852 900 in benefits. He wound up with
a beautiful eulogy Of fraternal organi-
cations as he understood them and said
that they would prevent national or
international war in the future. Every
man would soon receive every other
man as a brother and would grant him
the same consideration that he asks
for himself.
Mr.. Kennedy went to Rawlins on
train No. 3. Fran that point he will
go to Green River, Rock Springs,
Granger. Cokeville and Evanston.
As a result Of Mr.. Kennedy's visit to
the city Is new members will be added
to the local camp.
Mr.. Archibald. who presided, stated
that 1t was the intention Of Pilot Camp,
Woodmen of the World. to have a reg
ular course Of lectures during the win
ter, which would be entirely free to
the public. President Graves Of the
university and others had consented
to aid the society in this work.

The railroad takes a traveller within
seven miles Of Mammoth hot springs.
The travel through the park is in a six

of any coach line in the country. From
Mammoth hot springs 1t takes five and
one-half days to travel around the park
and this trip is made in the best Con-
cord coaches procurable and instead Of
being a wearisome trip is most pleas

tries with this park would expend many
times more money than our govern
ment is annually expanding in i'm

improvements. the amount should be
at least 800 900. The roads could then
be made better and could be extended
to many additional points of interest.
The military force in the park is also
very insufficient mad should be at least
doubled. The immense area of the
park can hardly be appreciated and
the present force is unable to prevent
incursions Of poachers. The govern
ment is fortunate in the present sup
%erintendent, Col. Young. and was also
fortunate in his predecessor, Capt. G.
s. Anderson. The government is be-
ginning to realize that a post of such
Importance ought to have an oficer Of
high rank in command instead of lieu
tenants or captains, as was hitherto
the custom.
