PAT Largely MURDERED,
The Butte Banker Shoe Down WITHOUT a
Word Of Warming.

Patrick A. Largcy, the well known
Butte banker and business man, was
killed last Monday afternoon by
Thomas j. Riley, the murder being
committed in the State Savings bank,
OF which Mr.. Largcy was president.
Riley came into the bank and asked
for Largcv, who went to the cashiers
window and talked with him {; few
minutes, and then shot was heard
by those in the place. The first shot
hit Largey in the left arm and pass
ed into the breast. It was not
necessarily fatal. Largcy leaned
down with his head protected by the
counter but soon raised it, and as he
did SO Riley shot again, the second
bullet striking the banker in the
forehead, killing him almost instant
ly. The murderer then turned to go
out, but before reaching the street
shot at the teller, Holmes, who
lodged, and the bullet just missing
him and, going through a perforat-
ing machine glanced through and out
OF a window. The murderer was ar
rested shortly after leaving the bank.
and was taken to the Deer Lodge
penitentiary for safe keeping the
same night.
The shooting is said to have grown
out of the great powder explosion in
Butte three years ago. Riley, who
was spectator, had his leg shattcr-
ed in that explosion, in which the
warehouses in which the powder was
stored belonged to the Kcnyon-Con-
nell company and the Butte Hard
ware company, Of which latter Lar
gey was president. Messrs. Largcy,
Kenyon and Conncll afterwards gave
Riley 81 800, but that was all gone
long ago. Largcy had since assisted
him and had given him some work
besides. He was evidently asking
more favors from his victim, which
were refused, when he suddenly pull
ed his gun and fired the fatal shots.
p. a. Largey was one Of the best
known Of the old residents of the
state, and was about 60 years Of age.
He had large interests all over the
state, and built many Of the first
telegraph lines to and about Mon
tana, United States Senator Mantle
being one Of his first employees.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. l3.-1'hc
body Of Murderer w. II. T. Durrant t
was incincratcd at the crcmatory Of
Reynolds & Van Nuys at Altadcna
this morning. At an early hour the
body was placed in plain rosewood
coffin and carried in a hcarsc through
the bright green fields and orchards
and orange groves that line the way
from Los Angeles to Pasadena Fol
lowing the hcarsc came one hack
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Darrant and
an undertaken. The Durrants seem
ed to enjoy the long ride. The way
was through lovely valley and the
day was bright and warm. There
was no crowd to see the little pro-
ccssion leave This city, and few pco-
pie were at the crcmatory at AIlc-
dcna. The fires had been burning
for 30 hours and at HOS, the remains
OF Durrant, still in the caskct, were
slid into the furnace.
At two o'cl"ck, the ashes were re-
moved and delivered to the parents
and the final act Of the great tragedy
was completed. NJ one saw the in
side of the crcmatory except the en-
ploycs and the Durranls. A few
gathered around the outside, but
everything was done So quietly and
50 quickly that their curiosity was
soon appcascd and before the ashes
were removed those few had dis

COnccntrntOr Started.

Missoula, Jan. BY. D. Wheeler
came down from Pyrites today and
reports that the new concentration at
the White Cloud mine has been start
ed, and that it operates successfully
thus far. The first - hours Of it's
run were satisfactory and as soon as
some minor changes have been made
in the machinery, it will run through
from 100 to l25 tons of ore a day.
While there has not been enough Of
a trial to demonstrate fully the profit
OF working the White Cloud, the out
look is exceeding favorable and 1T
does not seem that there is any room
for failure. The main body Of ore
is extensive and is Of high enough
grade to be shipped protitably after.
concentration and the plant that is
now in operation is one Of the most
complete and modern that has ever
been constructed in this section. In
the conccntrator the new tables are
working perfectly and the saving in
value is almost complete. The long
numc that has been built to supply
the mill with water will carry 200
inches, and the only limit to the
capacity Of the plant is the amount
Of orc that the stamps will crush.
There is water sufficient to supply 4
larger plant, and the facilities for
handling the ore are ample. The
outlook for the White Cloud is Ger
tainly promising.

Will Lose Both Legs.

Missoula, Jan. l3.---Dr. j. J. Buck
ley, chief surgeon of the Northern
Pacific, this evening received a tele-
gram announcing that Travelling En-
ginecr Norton had met with Il serious
accident near Weston, Washington,
and that he will lose both legs.
None Of the particulars Of the acci-
dent are given in the kilograms cX-
ccpt that Mr.. Norton fell from an
engine and his legs went under the
wheels, being so crushed and
manglcd that both will have to be
amputated. Mr.. Norton is one OF
the best known railroad men in the
western department and his friends
will learn with regret Of his mis-
fortune. It is not known whether OF
not Mr.. Norton's condition will per.
NIT him to be brought to the hos
pital here, but it is feared that he is
is too badly injured to endure the
trip.
\ telegram received at division
headquarters tonight states that Mr.
Norton will be operated upon tonight
at Tacoma, and that it is believed he
will pull through all right, though
he will lose both rcgS.

COUNTY CLERKS.
The State Examiner Rightly Says They
Havc TOO Much Work.


The county clerks and recorders of
Montana have more than their share
Of the county work, according to
State Examiner John G. Moronev.
who refers to the fact in his annual
report to the governor. On that
subject he says:
"As to the present laws on that
score | have no recommendation
but / do believe the county clerks
office, under the law, is burdencd
with more than it's equitable share
of work. @@
''lt seems that recent legislative
assemblies when enacting legislation
providing for any new work for coun-
ty officers have thrown the burden of
nearly all Of it on the various county
clerks, and that, too, in many in
stances without any allowance Of
help for the extra work entailcd, un-
til the county clerks Gt1icc has be-
come a sort Of general utility and in
formation bureau for nearly all Of
the purposes of county government,
from registering deeds and other
public records, keeping all of the
financial books of the county, reg
tering all births and deaths, etc,
etc, and finally on down the line to
punching coyotes skins 1t is a fact
that in Deer Lodge county it is al
most a physical possibility for the
comfy clerk and recorder to discharge
the duties of the office with the
maximum number of deputies allow
ed by law, and in this particular
that is not the only county"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube gets inilamcd you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in

tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out Of ten are caused by

Great Falls, Jan. 13.-The follow
ing special was received here tonight
from Glasgow: George May, alias
George Fisher, was arrested today by
Sheriff Kyle near Malta. May is
wanted in Dakota on a charge Of
bieamy. From accounts received
from the officers of that state George
has cut q wide swath among the
maidens, and has perccptibly reduced
the percentage Of marriageablc young
ladies in the world. When arrested
he had with him his latest venture
whom he had lurcd into his net at
RoIla, N. d. She is a rather good
looking young woman, with one Of
those tender, clinging natures that
generally distinguishes the young
wife. A pair OF goldrimmed glasses
give her distinguished air. She in
sisted on sharing the felon's cell with
her husband, but Jailer Conathcr,
Dracny himself against a radiator
near the Jail door, managed to tear
the family apart. The bride, for she
had been married but two months, is
heartbroken and refuses to be com
forted. May is badly scared, but
protests his innocence. He is tall
and rather good looking, but his face
although young looks as if he were
soured on the world. Too many
wives explain his sad face that at
one time was heaming with joy.
Sheriff Cain of Rollins county will
take him back to Dakota as soon as
he can get cxtradition papers from
Governor Smith. May has wives To-

Last Thursday, in Anaconda, Judge
Irantly passed upon the habcas cor
pui case Of Joseph Johnson, the null
alto who was charged with abducting
Katie Neil from Sweet Springs, Mis-
souri,, and for whose rcQuiSition Act
ing Governor Spriggs has issued d
warrant. The requsition by the
governor Of Missouri rccitcd that
johnson had committed the crime Of
abduction in the state of Missouri on
the 21th Of November and that he
was Il fugitive from justice in that
state. 1t was proved to the salts
faction Of Judge Rrantly that John
son was in Butte on the 22d Of No
vcmbcr and therefore could not have
committed any crime in Missouri on
the 9th Of the same month. There

TO CURB IMMORAL JOURNALS.
Measure is Likely to Pass the New Yorl

Measure is Likely 70. PaSS TIC Now 1Ofk
Legislature.
New York, Jan. 12.-At today's
conference the republican state lead
ers discussed the proposed bill to
curb the immoral Tenderness Of "yel-
lows journalism. A draft of the pro-
posed bill was submitted at the con-
ference. 1t is to be /; general bill,
which gives any citizen the right to
enter a complaint befure any commit
ing magistrate against a yellow news
paper which the citizen believes is
degrading the morals Of the people.
For the first conviction the penalty
is comparatively light. For the
second conviction the penalty is fine
or impl isonment Or both and forfeit
ure Of the charter of the ''yellOw"
newspaper. The attorney general
of the state, on the second conviction,
will be compelled to, bring suit to
forfeit the charter OF the "yeDloW"
newspapers. All present at the con-
felenee agreed that the draft Of the
bill was excellent, and it was decided
to complete the bill and introduce it
both in tile assembly and the senate
at Albany. So vicious aud depraved
have some Of the "yelluW' news
papers become, it was declared, and
so detrimental is their influence on
decent communities, that the bill
against them will be almost unani-
mously passed in both houses by both
republicans and democrats. 1t was
pointed out that the democrats are
just as anxious for the passage Of
such a bill as republicans, and that
it cannot be considered, to any great
extent, party measure.

Instantly Killed.

Great Falls, Jan. l3.-The follow
ing dispatch was received at this
office tonight: Peter Peterson Of
Minneapolis, employed on the Great
Northern coal chute at this place,
was instantly killed Wednesday
morning while welding the steel
bucket that carries the coal. This
part Of the machinery had been
thrown out OF gear for several days,
and was thrown back in running
order by Que Of the men working on
it, but they failed to notify John
Hoffman, who was operating the en-
einc, and he started the engine to
load some coal. II. f. Melby, who
was working in one Of the buckets
near the main hole, jumped for his
life and escaped injnry. Peterson
was instantly killed, being crushed
to death between the buckets and
the chute The coroncrs' jury found
that the deceased came to his death
through his own carelessness.
A second terrible disaster on the
Great Northern line is reported from
near Summit on the coast extension.
The details are still more meager.
The report simply states that a man
in the snow plow crew fell into the
rotary and was ground to bits before
the train could be stopped.
