THE damages that the party is en-
titled to Is the value of the ore in the

THE BOOKS ARE CLOSED
Registration for Both the City
and School Elections.
MAKES A GOOD AVERAGE
Yet 1t Is a Falling OF From Last Year
of l.7oO-In Only Three Years Has q.
the Registration in Butte
Been Greater.

Registration for both the city and
school elections closed last evening.
The registration came i'm stronger yes
terday, and particularly last evening.
when people awoke to the fact that
their names were not on the list. In
the last two hours 140 were registered
on the east side office, while the west
side was also kept pretty busy. The
fire in the Hale house has made a big
difference in the east side registration.
Nearly all the boarders there wcse nat
uralized citizens and lost their n1.yral-
ization papers. Some got copie., some
got two witnesses to swear they had
been n~aturalized. but very many Of
them did not take the t~ouole. y have
not registered at all.
The following were registered Cor tie
city election at the close: West SIDE,
2,l54: east side, 2.29i: total, 4.44s. This
is nearly LOO less than the registia-
ton last year. Although II is a great
falling off from last year. yet ii Is a
good average registration in Butte. par
ticularly In a year when only aldermen
are to be chosen. In only three years
of Butte's history has the registration
for a municipal election been yreater.
The following table shows the reg 'stra-
ton for city elections fer each year
since 1890:
1890, 3.1S1: 1891. 1881; 1892, 3.3l3: 1899,
1902; 1894, 4,546; 1896, 500, 1896, 3,1s6;
1897, 6,117.
The registration for the school election
was stronger yesterday, but still the
total registration is only about 40 per
cent of that of last year. Compare
lively few ladies registered, n many
others expressed themselves as unwil-
ling to stand In line for hours in order
tn vote. The total registration Is in
the neighborhood OF $500, as against
l0,935 last year. The school campaign

ceived, and from N Of precincts

ticuiarly brutal and fiendish nature.
His victim was his wife and the Moth
er of his two little children. The
Murphys live on North Wyoming
street. and the neighbors say a beating
administered to his wife by Murphy Is
of almost daily occurrence. On
Thursday afternoon he came home and.
as usual. started i'm to abuse her. and

hour. during which time the brute of "A

ing for her to come up. She. thinking
he had left the house. finally ventured
to come up. and. opening the door. put
out her left arm. Then. according to
the story told the county attorney
yesterday afternoon. Murphy Jumped
on door and caught her arm under
IL and held her tightly while he
reached over to the stove and got a
kettle OF boiling water. which he fiend-
like slowly poured on her arm. The
woman with pain and strug-
gled to release herself, but he held her
tight until he had emptied the kettle,
and then he released her and left the
house.
Mrs. Murphy called on the county
auditor for advice and he sent her
TO the county attorney, where she told
her story and exhibited her arm. which
presented a frightful sight. IL was
scalded from the tips of the fingers to
the elbow. She was sent to DR..
Sheerin. who dressed and bandaged the
arm. and Deputy County Attorney
Stivers drew up a complaint against
Murphy. which was filed in Judge Lau-
randeau's court and "A warrant issued.
Nothing had seen seen of Murphy since
his brutal assault on his wife. but last
evening he returned to the house and
Constable Tim Harrington arrested
him.

OFFICER ABBOTT SUSPENDED.
Rumors Of Bribery Are NAM Warden Bridges
Thinks He Bungled.

Boston, Nov. 1.-Off1cer J. L. Abbott.
of the Charlestown state prison, who is
held accountable for the escape Of John
Reed, the bnnco man, at Worcester,
Sunday night, was suspended by War
rem Bridges. this morning. A report
on the case will be forwarded to the
prison commissioners, and it will then
fall on them to decide as to when they
will give the officer chance to appear
before them to tell his story. It will
then be their duty to decide whether
he is a proper man to remain in the
employ OF the state.
Warden Bridges has offered a re-
ward of 5000 for the capture Of Reed.
The amount Of the reward is 500 in
excess of that usually offered by the
state for the recapture of an escaped
convict. The warden has also sent
Deputy Allen to Worcester for the
purpose of finding all the information
possible relative to the escape of Reed
and to make a thorough investigation
to see if there was any re-arranged
plan made for the escape.
In reference to the suspension of Of
ficer Abbott, the warden said: IT think
the officer bungled. Reed and his
friends got the officers confidence and
when he left Reed he had no right to.
In his interview with me Abbott was
greatly agitated and appeared all
broken to pieces. He spoke of the fast
that people might believe that he had
been bribed, and he had even heard
so, he said, that that was story that
was passing from lip to lip. suppose
his wife, or some of his friends, might
have told him about the rumors. He
said there was not a shadow of truth
in such a story and the suspicion that
he was dishonest hurt him more than
anything else in connection with the
escape. / believe him an honest man.
otherwise l would have not sent him
with Reed. My honest opinion still is
that he bungled."
