ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

Some One Enters Rev. MIR. Clusters
House with . skeleton Key.
An attempt at burglary was made
last evening at the residence OF Rev.
w. T. custer, pastor of the NJ. +.
church. The residence of Mr.. Custer
is Just east of the church, at the cor
ter conducted services as usual last
evening. Mrs. custer did not go to
the church, but remained at home.
About half an hour before the serv-
ices were over Mrs. custer was upstairs
engaged in putting the children to bed.
While thus engaged she heard some
one insert a key in the lock OF the
front door and turn back the bolt. Mrs.
Custer realized that 1t was yet o ear
ly for Mr.. custer to return from church,
and she picked up a light and went to
the head of the stairs to see who had
come in. She raised her light aloft in
order that the rays might fall before
her. AS she did so she saw a man
standing in the hallway about four feet
from the door,. As soon as the intruder
saw hat he had been discovered, he
made a break for the door. He slammed
the door to after him. but II did not
catch and II stood ajar. Through this
crack Mrs. custer saw the fellow as he
ran away. but the only description she
can give Of him IL that he was tall and
wore a dark o%vercoat.
The fellow had evidently entered the
house in the belief that the entire FAM
lily were at service, and thus IL would
be an easy matter for him to rifle the
house and make or with the plumber.

HIGH SCHOOLS WIN OUT
They Defeat the Foundry Team
by Q Score of 10 to 8.
AN INTERESTING GAME
The Contest Drew Out Q Large Crowd.
A Game Arranged Between the
Butts Juniors md Anaconda
Juniors.

The football game between the two
Junior teams yesterday was won by the
High School team. whose score was Is
to 5 for the Foundry team. The game
was an exciting one from start to fin
ish and the crowd was deeply interested
in its progress.
The game was played at the Athletic
field and drew out a splendid audience.
The day was fine and this, added to the
good playing OF both teams. made the
afternoons event a pleasant entertain
ment. All of the scores made by the
High School team were made in the
first half. In the second half the Foun-
dry boys braced up, and not only Held
down their opponents. but also scored a
touchdown. For the High Schools La
point scored the first touchdown:
Thomas the second and Lapoint the
third. Lempke scored the only touch
down for the Foundrys in the second
half.
A feature of the game was the excel
lent work of Willie Thomas for the High
Schools. Although he weighs only l2s
pounds he at the opponents line
with such force and vigor that gains
were made nearly every time. 1t is the
expressed opinion of many who saw the
game that Thomas is one of the clever
est players In the state, considering his
years n weight.
The officials of the game were ]. r.
Grifiith. referee; Charlie Morgan, UNI
pire. and w. Burch, linesman. The
game consisted of two halves, each of
20 minutes duration.
Two weeks from yesterday, on Sum
day. Nov. 13. there will be a game be-
tween the Butte Juniors and the Ana
conda Juniors. h coming contest is
awakening considerable interest. and
the event will doubtless draw out a big
crowd. The game will be played in this
city at the Athletic field. The local
Juniors will practice every evening and
they are confident that they will be VIC
torioua.
The Thanksgiving day game between
the big teams of Butte and Anaconda is
also creating q good deal Of interest and
II Is believed that much money will be
wagered on the result. The Anaconda
men practice every night and will put in
some good hard work between now and
Thanksgiving day.

fARING BETTER.
Soldiers at Cavite Are Receiving Better
Treatment Now.


Treatment Now.
II. Charette. of No. so4 East Fifth
street, has received an interesting let
ter from his son, who is with the troops
at Manila. The letter Is dated Sept.
II. and the following excerpts are taken
from it.:
1--WE are having a pretty good time
here; We cans kick. We are treated
a lot better than we were In San Fran
cisco. We are expecting to get paid
most any day now. They used to call
us, in San Francisco, the boys in blue.
but now they call us the boys in white.
We are all dressed in white linen suits
with white shoes and brown leggings.
and White hats. oh! we look out of
sight.
"They are going to ask us to Join the
regulars when they pay US. IL they
ask me, l will refuse. 1 LAY had all
the soldier life / want. I'd sooner work
all dav than sit around In this heat
and do nothing. The thermometer gets
as high as 100 n 100 in the shade. and
frequently at that.
II don't know how long they are GO
ing to keep us here. We are expecting
to have trouble with the insurgents
most any day now, but when we start
on them once we will make short work
OF them. A large fleet came in this
morning, but we can tell where IL
came from. When we first came here
the boys went crazy for the fruit here,
but now they don't care a snap for IL.
We dare not go in bathing or drink
the water unless IL Is boiled first. The
water In the bay is rotten. They say
there is all kind of disease in ii.
THE insurgents have a lot Of Spanish
prisoners in the hills. Almost every
day. two or three of them escape and
give themselves VI to us. As fast as
we get them we send them to Manila.
Poo devils. they are nearly starved to
death. I never saw such skinny people
In all my life as they are here. They
are nothing but skin and bones.
I'VE broke int a Spanish dungeon
yesterday. The wall was eight feet
thick. / went in first with a candle.
] v saw such a sight in my life.
All We could see was human bones.
Some skeletons were sitting in corners,
and some were lying on the Is f3oor.
Some of the boys o a skull as a
memento. I don't blame the insurgents
for starving the Spaniards to death.
I'VE are being given fresh meat
twice each alternate day. They are
beginning to feed us a little better now,
but IL was a holy fright for a while"
