There is a class of men infesting the
street corners and some places of bust
ness who are continually criticising
the government, the newspaper, the
town officials and everything else in
general. Nothing suits them. They
have no regard for other peoples
opinion and if you cross them they
get angry. They have a high regard
of their self Importance and vain
tendency to be heard. These kind of
people are the gall worms of society.

HELD UP THE BANK.
John Norton, unarmed, Tries to Make
the First National Give Up Its
Money To Him.

John Norton, a young man quite well
known in Butte, tried the experiment
yesterday OF attempting TO hold up
bank without gun, and is now in the
county Jail on a charge of vagrancy, the
orIy charge that could be proved
against him, as he appears to have COM
mtted no criminal offense.
About noon yesterday Norton walked
into the First National bank ana, going
up to the cashiers, window, asked To see
Andrew j. Davis. the cashier. Mr.. Davis
was at the window and informing his
caller he was the person sought, in
quired what he could do for him. Nor
tton replied that he was starving and
demanded that Mr. Davis give him some
money Mr. Davis inquired why he had
come To the bank for money. and Nor
ton said ii was because a bank was the
place to come.
You've got plenty of money here, !.
he said and | want some Of H. | have
not had anything To eat Tor four days.
/ need money and intend To have il.
Mr.. Davis surveyed his visitor noticed
that he was we'll dressed and did not
appear to be in destitute circumstances,
and told him he could not accommodate
him.
Norton turned and walked away from
the window, muttering that he would
have money. A few minutes later Vice
President J. A. Talbot came out of his
office in the rear of the bank and
walked past Norton who stood near
the front window. Norton stopped and
repeated his demand for money. Mr..
Talbot talked with the man few min
utes and tried IT, influence him to leave
the bank, but he refused to 60, and stood
around for about 20 minutes as though
he expected the money to be produced.
The officers of the bank at first feared
they had desperate character To deal
with and prepared themselves for the
emergency. but after the man stood
around so long and made no attempt at
an overt act. they concluded he was
harmless, but kept close watch on him.
At length when IL WAS seen that Nor
ton intended to camp in the bank until
he got what he was after. Paying Teller
j. >. Dutton went out and called Police
Officer league To come and take charge
of the intruder. officer league arrested
Norton and took him to the city jail.
He searched him and found he had no
gun, and as the circumstances did not
seem to warrant a criminal charge the
prisoner was booked for yagrancy and
sent IL the county Jail Norton told Of
ficer league he was desperate for the
want of money and had gone to the
bank intending II get H. lie repea tied
the story that he had had nothing To
eat for four days.

there is more behind Norton.s action

to Business

seph A. McKenna took his seat on the
bench of the supreme court of the
United States today as an associate JUS
tice The official ceremony inducing
him in his important office consumed
less than four minutes and was simple
in the extreme.
Mr.. McKenna had already taken the
general oath of office before the chief
justice when, at one minute past II
o'clock, he walked into the court room,
bringing up the rear of the procession
of justices.
He, like all the other members of the

patton of the event.
When he entered the chamber the new
justice stopped at Clerk McKenny's 5
desk, where he remained while the other
justices took their respective seats upon
the bench.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
presence of the new justice, saying: 1T
gives me pleasure to announce to the
gentlemen of the bar that Mr.. Joseph
McKenna has been appointed an asso-
ciate justice of this court"

of the judicial oath and he read it in a
clear. distinct voice and was then es-
corted to his seat on the extreme left of
the chief justice by Marshal Wright, the

coined with a cordial shake of the hand
from Justice White his nearest neigh
Dor, and with bows from the other mem
bers of the court, whereupon all took
their seats.

and the court proceeded to the business
before it, the first case being that deal

SEAMAN EPPS' CASE
The Victims Mother Asks Japan for
Indemnity

WASHINGTON, Jan, 26.-The CORE.
spOndence bearing upon the murder on
December 10 last of Frank Epps an ap-
prentice on the flagship Olympia, then
lying in the harbor of Nagasaki. Japan,
was today supplied to the senate by the
secretary of state. 1t shows that Ad-
miral McNair laid especial stress upon
the fact that the killing of Epps cOnsti-
tuted the second murder of American
seamen by Japanese within three
months, that of the sailor Montgomery
being the first, and that he strongly
urged investigation and punishment
This position was sustained by the state
department in pressure upon the jap
anese authorities. 1t appears that two
Japanese We're arrested and tried aud
ON preliminary examination were fined
$50 yen each. Admiral McNair. in a let
ter dated December 81, expressed doubt
as to whether the real culprits were ap-
pretended, but he says that the strong
pressure brought tc bear upon the Jap
anese authorities has compelled at
least an apparent display of energy in
seeking the murderers of Epps. which is
in contrast with the listless course Of
action pursued in the case of Mont
gomery."

filed a claim for damages. and Secretary
