A SERIOUS CHARGE
Burt Marsh Is Accused of Swind-
ling Liney.
A CHECK TRANSACTION
The Rancher Asserts hat Marsh
Cashed a Check for Him and Kept
All OF the Money but Fifty
Dollars.

The police were asked last evening to

made a grave charge against Burt
Marsh. the lawyer who came to Butte
from Helena recently and whose por-
trait is posted about the city on large
placards, advertising him as a criminal
lawyer and auctioneer. Liney charged
Marsh with swindling him out of sl35.
In telling his story to the police. Liney
said he came to Butte Sunday. He had
previously sold some grain to Elyers x
Co. of South Main street, and when he
arrived in town he received a check for
5000 from the firm, draw on the First
National bank, in payment for his
grain. He intended going to Anaconda
to the races Monday, but Sunday even
ing met Frank Brady in Louis Zorn's
saloon in South Main street. Later he
met Lawyer Marsh in the same place.
He had known Marsh when the latter
was doing business in his section and
was easily persuaded not to go to Ana
conda. Marsh was going to send Brady
to Castle to open a saloon, he said, and
suggested that Liney accompany him.
He was to leave Monday evening. He
did not nav the money, as he had not
ndu Tins TO CASH Ills CftCh, 81 hidISH
advanced him SIS and went to the train
with them, but the train was late or
had gone, or something, so they came
back up town and went to Brady's
rooms in the Pullman lodging house.
Marsh, he said. suggested as Liney was
unable to cash the check he should en-
dorse it, and he (Marsh) would go and
get it cashed and take out his SIS and
leave the balance at Louis Zorn's place.
Liney endorsed the check, but when ne
went last evening to get his money there
was only $50 there awaiting him. He
complained to the police and Detective
Murphy arrested Marsh and went with
Liney TO the county attorneys office
and procured a warrant. AS the charge
was a grave one the representative of
the county attorney who was seen coun-
seled postponing the issuance of a war
rant till the case could be fully investi-
gated, and Marsh was released.
What may, or may not, be a SUSPECT
Gus circumstance is the Iact that Marsh
met officer Walker on the street yes
terday and told him he might hear of
him (Marsh) being accused of holding
out a $500 check. but he had not done
so. and had only taken $50 of the mans
money to keep and had returned it as
agreed. He said he only spoke of the
matter as he might be accused n he
wanted the officer to understand the
case.

monastic orders. anxious on account of
their large property in the interior. are

regarding the 1000 TO 1000 prisoners,
including Spanish troops and villagers.
women and children. in the hands OF
the Filipinos. Some of them are under
going humiliations and hardships. and
circumstances may arise which would
~endanger their lives. Efforts should
be made by Spain and the United
States conformity to secure their ram

A Race Horse Man wounde by a Bar
tender.
A shooting scrape occurred last night
about midnight at the Fountain road
house, south of the city. in which Del
Jordan, a race horse man, was shot
by Rosario Levitre. commonly known
in the city as "Rosey," the bartender
at the Fountain. Jordan's wound,
though serious. is not regarded as en-
dangering his life. Jordan. who is well
known among the horsemen. went to
the roadhouse with a woman of the
town in the evening. They drank con-
siderable and. according to the state
ments of persons who were at the place,
Jordan became quarrelsome n had
two or three arguments with Levitre.
About midnight, while in the barroom
with the woman Jordan quarreled with
her. and when he struck her Levitre
took her part. At this. it is said, Jor-
dan went at Levitre with a knife, and
the latter. drawing his gun, fired three
shots at Jordan. one of which took eff
feet in the right thigh. The ball en-
tered at the front side of the leg. and
ranging slightly downward passed clear
through and lodged just under the k
at the back.
DIR. Renick was summoned. and on
reaching the r~oadhouse n examining
the wound had Jordan taken to Murray
& Freund's hospital, where the bullet
was extracted and the wound dressed,
DIR. Freund assisting.
The police were notified by telephone
and Detective Murphy started for the
ro~adhouse. On the way he met Levitre
coming i'm in a hack. He said he was
coming in TO give himself up. Detective
Murphy took him to the county Jail,
where he was locked up.

Capt. J. W. Murphy, with Levi
Castle and r. H. Hartman first and
second lieutenants, respectively.
In the evening of the same day
grand reception was extended the
boys by the people of Grangeville.
Music, singing and short addresses
by prominent men Of the city, with
the great enthusiasm shown by the
audience, made it an occasion never
to be forgotten by any of the boys
to the last day of their lives. Sat
urday, the 29th, the company, after
bidding goodby and handshaking,
we started out. Denver was reached
by noon, where we were received
by the people of the town, who had
provided an excellent dinner for US,
to which we all did ample Justice.
At 1880 the march was resumed, ar
riving at Cottonwood at 4 O'Clock
where the citizens were out to meet
US. After short address and three
cheers for the company, which the
boys returned with a vim, we
marched to Woodring's building,
stacked arms, and took in the town.
Here some of the boys had their
first experience in guard duty.
Sunday, April 80, at 7:90, after
having our photographs taken for
the sixth time, we started up the
mountain for Lewiston. If hearty
good wishes and enthusiasm could
help the boys, they never would
lack anything that could add to
their safety or comfort. Our Jour
ney oyer the mountain was with

time being passed in good natured

gathered on the street corners. >,
The people along our route have

journey enjoyable, and we owe the

they extended to US all along the
