NE Hello UP 4 SALOON
He Will Have Five Years to
Think It Over.
SAYS HE is INNOCENT
He Declares That the Watch and Chain
Which He Had Had Been Given
Him by an Old School
Friend.

Sheriff Bcrkey of Billings passed
through the city yesterday en- route 10
Deer Lodge with John Kelly. convict
ed. Of robbery at Billings last June.
He held up a saloon for $3.50 and VII
spend five years in the penitentiary.
Kelly Is a brother of Jim Kelly. who
about o u months & was implicated
in the robbery of a man in Hanson's
saloon in this city. A man had just
ore which he sold. the proceeds from
which he carried in his pocket. He
went into Hanson's place n the
charge Is that Kelly and others re-
lieved him of the money. His trial Is
pending.
The convict Kelly declares that he Is
innocent of the charge against him
and hopes to secure a new trial. He
told the following story yesterday in
connection with the robbery OF which
he vas convicted:
Recently l met an old school friend
on the streets of Billings. and, after
some conversation. he confided to mi
that he had made a winning n was
going to leave Billings the next day.
He had also made a winning of a gold
watch and chain, and said that as he
mad one or his W ne would make
me a present of the extra one. Well,
the result was that I look the watch,
and after some further conversation
we parted. Later in the day I heard
about the robbery of the saloon and.
never for an instant surmising that
my friend was concerned in IL. I went
around to learn the particulars. While
l was talking at the bar reference
was made to watch that
had been taken. The description tai
lied with the one that ! was wearing
at the time. and l told them that 1

and told them how ! happened to have

but We could find no trace of him.
Suspicion reverted to me and I was ar
rested, tried and convicted and sen
fenced to five years In the peniten-
tiary. The jury at first could not
agree, but after a long while brought
i'm a verdict of guilty. l believe that

one having already been made. The
evidence against me is wholly circum-
stantial and ] do not think 1t suffi-

STILL NO CLUE
Rewards for the Capture of the
Murderer of DAILY.
TEN THOUSAND PUT UP
Employees OF the Anaconda Mines Meet
n ofer the Rsward for Infor-
nation Which Will Lead to
Conviction.

There is still no clue In regard To the
murderer Of John J.. DAILY. the judge Of
election who was killed in the perform
ance of his duty at the polling booth of
precinct No. 8 on the morning after the
election. There Is no clue as yet. and
there IL little prospect Of there being
any at present. There Is a very strong
sentiment I'm town. however. that the
murderer should be brought to justice
at any cost. A number of citizens have
offered to contribute to rewards for the
apprehension of the murderer. The
Nrst, however. to come out with an
offer of reward are the fellow en-
ployes Of the victim. John J. DAILY. VINO
worked in the Mountain Con mine.
Ever since the murder. employees Of the
company have felt that the murderer
of their fellow workman must be
brought to Justice. Other citizens agree
with them i'm this view. for IL is GER
tainl To the discredit Of the own that
so NAM crimes should be
I'm this community and go unpublished.
The Penrose murder Is still u~navenged.
The murderers of Policeman Jordan
have never been punished. Kroeger
was killed last year. and his murderers
have not been convicted. There is a
stranger that was found in an old
shaft, and II has not been ascertained
who killed him. Little Ethel Gill was
outraged and killed. a man was found
in a box car. and there Is as yet no
trace of the murderer. Patrick Regan
was recently killed. and the murderer
has escaped. Is every man who COM
mits murder i'm Silver Bow county to go
unpublished?
Employees Of the Anaconda mines
held a meeting last evening. and after
due discussion. decided that they would
offer a reward for the murderer who
killed their fellow workman. The FOL
lowing was drawn up:
We. a committed appointed by the
fellow employees Of John j. Daily, who
was murdered on the morning OF
. while performing his duties as an
election officer In precinct No. s Of this
county. hereby offer. In behalf OF SAID
employees. a reward OF 10000 for in

viction of the murderer

DREW IMMENSE CROWDS
The Store Was Not Large Enough
to Accommodate Them.
BANKRUPT ALTMAN STOCK
The symons Company Displayed Their
Usual Enterpriss-Had to Close
the Doors-A Brilliant
Success.

Yesterdays attraction in Butte was
at Symons' Nos. 6s-72 West Park street.
The purchase by this enterprising
house of the bankrupt Altman stock
was duly announced. and as a conse-
quence the immense store was not
large enough to hold the crowds hat
tried to squeeze through the doors to
therein displayed. 1t was a new de-
parture. nothing like It ever before be-
ing seen in Butte. IL was absolutely
necessary to close the doors every five
minutes in order 10 wait upon the
throngs inside. after which the doors
inside crowd to depart and others on
the outside to file in. when the doors
would be closed again until the eager
buyers were satisfied. after which the
doors were again opened and so IL con-
tinued until thousands N thousands
had gratified their desires to see and
buy of the goods. the like Of which has
not beer seen to such advantage I'm
Butte.
The whirlwind of bargains seems to
have settled upon and taken root
in Symons' emporium. The ladies have
all caught the fever and profted by IL.
The splendid stock of new and elegant
goods which Symons has successfully
sought to put ON display and sale at
such astonishingly low prices seems Ia
have struck the chord of popular APP
prevail and demand. with the result that
of all the openings and sale days for
which Butte Is noted. none have COM
pared in brilliancy INC success with
that of yesterday at the Symons store.
The sale will continue to-day.
