CREATED A BIG SCARE.


An Alleged Attempt to Hold Up a Gro
Gerry store.
There was a big scare In Dorais' gro
Gerry store. at the northwest corner OF
Park and wyoming streets. last evening.
and the employees thought II was a case Of
trying 10 hold up the store. At the time
univ three persons were In the store-a
clerk. a ~bookkeeper and George Ross. an
aged tailor. who was there having a $40
bill changed.
Two men ushed into h place. one
from one door and one from the other.
One of them wal brandishing . revolver
in his hand and ne struck Ross In the Jaw
with II. INJECTING a deep cut and causing
the blood to flow freely. There were
shouts and cries and a number or people
rushed In. so that IL any holdup was In
tended IL failed.
The man with the revolver who struck
Ross was Bert Adams. The other was O
young fellow named william avn
When seen at the city jail last evening
Hawley was very reticent. He said there
was no holdup. but that he n Adams
had a quarrel and Adams was going to
shoot him. Hawley ran into the store to
get away from him.. but Adams followed.
When asked why Adams struck Ross
Hawley said he thought 1t was because
RIOTS was In his way. Hawley would not
say what he and Adams were quarreifng
about. and there Is a strong suspicion that
he and Adams were pals and had gone
into the holdup partnership. but Hawley
weakened after he got started. Hawley
said he used to work for Ross. but re-
Gently went to Seattle to join the navy.
He had been rejected on account OF his

q ueEa OLD ENGLISH eHuRcH.
Built by Richard III. and Used Only
Twice q Year.

Built by Richard III. and Used Only
Twice = Year.
From the Sunday Reader.
About a mile from the village of
Towton, near York. there Is an exceed
ingly interesting and curious old
church, known as the Lead Hall chap
ell. It IL remarkable for several rea-
sons. chiefly ecans of its age: Its
very small size. probably IL would not
seat 40 people altogether: Its mean fit
tings, and. lastly. because Of Its curl
Gus choir. To understand about this
choir II IL necessary to review a little
of the history of this famous old place
of worship. There are two theories as
to its origin. It is most commonly be-
lieved that this chapel Is the n
known to have beef built by Richard
III. in memory of those who fell at
Towton In 1851. II IL claimed that the
are q revival Of those h a were for
meriy ordered for the purpose OF pray
ing for the souls of the good Christ
ans who fell in the great battle. An
other supposition declares this chapel
to be attached TO the old manor house
of the Tyas family at Lead Hall. and
that n memorial chapel Of Richard
III. has iong inc disappeared.
1t Is obvious, however. that IL this
were tno Chsts u cTNlt Wei BIZ
months would not greatly edify the
people In their spiritual life.
Having thus explained the chapefs
history. we may go to the choir. There
are two services yearly held at the
Lead Hall church-one in April and an
other in October. There is, therefore,
no regular body of choristers. but on
such occasions a choir is made up from
the chief singers In the neighborine
towns. who are under the control. for
this OF a well known musical
professor in Yorkshire. The majority
of the men and boys who make up the
choir are drawn from York and Leeds
They receive a stated fee for their
DAYS services and are provided with
refreshments.
The regular service of the Church oi
| England is used. The congregation a.
these services often does not exceed
half a dozen people. or half the size Of
the choir. The vicar of q ~neighborint
parish conducts the services.
Those who maintain the theory Of
the chapels origin in the time of Rich
| ard III. declare h a that king made
a grant of none for the holding o.
memorial services. and hat IL Is TO
I this reason that two services a yea
are regularly held.

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
Clerk Clark Refused to Recognize One Of
Judge Clancy's Orders.

Juuke Slancys oToeIe
There was another slight conflict of
authority yesterday between Judge
Clancy and Mr.. Clark. the clerk of the
district court. 1t grew out of an order
the Judge made directing the clerk to
pay one Ellery Bell about SIS as wit
ness fees in the George Baum murder
case, which order the clerk refused to
recognize.
George Baum Is the fellow who killed
a fellow workman some months ago
in a fit of insane anger and who is now
confined in the asylum. While Baum
was in Jail, Bell. a witness, went to the
county attorney n told him he IN
tended to leave town unless he was de-
tanned by the sheriff. 1t was evident
to the attorney hat Bell simply want
ed to draw witness fees. but he was
ordered committed to Jail, where he
was held until after the examination Of
Baum and the latter was committed
to the asylum. Bell had been in Jail
33 days, and he demanded $99-$3 per
day-but the clerk refused to pay him.
but offered him the amount Of fees
provided by law. which would have
amounted to about SIS. Bell refused to
settle on that basis. and he placed the
matter in the hands of a lawyer, who
yesterday brought the matter up be-
fore Judge Clancy. The latter heard
the matter and then made a little law
of his own. which he considered about
the right thing. He Flowed Bell 80
days as a witness. but charged him rs
cents a day for board while he was liv-
ing at the expense of h county. and
then drew up an order, which he gave
to Bells attorney. directing Clerk
Clark t pay the fees allowed by the
court.
Attorney Bishop presented the order
to Mr.. Clark. Mr.. Clark reso it and
handed 1t back to Mr.. Bishop with q
suggestion that he could keep il. or
something to hat effect. He said the
court could keep on writing such or
ders till he got tired and then he could
quit. but that no money would be or
dered by the clerk until Ii was in ac-
cordance with the law n on a legal
claim against the county. Mr.. Bishop
took the order away with him. and at
last accounts he still had it.
In view of the recent decision OF the
supreme court in the Johnston con-
tempt proceedings, which were ap-
pealed from Judge Clancy's court, Mr.
Clark felt fully justified in his act in
ignoring yesterdays orders. In the
Johnston case the supreme court said
"A party cannot be guilty of contemp,
of court for disobeying an order which
the court had no authority to make"

NOT VERY PROMISING
Parade To-Morrow Will Be Omit
ted in Case of Rain.
THE MEMORIAL SERVICE
Federal and Confederate Veterans Win
Attend church Tosether-A Spleen
did Programme Arranged for
Ia Evening Exercises.

The present rainy weather does not
Civ a very promising outlook for the
holiday tomorrow. but 1t cannot inter-
fere with anything except the parade.
The committee in charge has decided to
omit the parade in case OF rain o-mo
row morning. The rest OF the pro-
gramme will be carried out all right
This morning the old soldiers. confed-
crate and federal. together will attend
service at the Christian church. when
the memorial sermon will be delivered
by Rev. Sherman Hill. The parade VIII
AXE place morning unless
the weather is unfavorable. In the att
ernoon the raves Of both the blue m
the gray will b. decorated at the ceme-
teries.
A splendid programme has been ar
ranged for the evening memorial exer-
cises to be held at the opera house. IL
will be a treat and the people OF Butte
should turn out generally. This Is a
patriotic year. Several hundreds boys OF
Butte have gone 10 the front to hght
against the country's foe and 1t is proper
that especial attention should be paid
this year to Decoration day. The fact
that the blue and gray. firmly united
once more, will participate together In
the observance of Memorial day makes
1t of greater interest than ever before.
The musical programme OF the even
ing is of great merit. The Silver BOW
Giee club, the High school choir. Mrs.
e. B. weirick and others will sing pa
triotic songs. The grafton will be de-
l,vered by ]. II. Durston of Anaconda.
n programme for the evening Is as
follows:
Song, Freedoms Flag" Silver Bow
Glee club; prayer. Rev. Sherman Hill;
song, Around the Graves" Silver Bow
Glee club: extract from Lincoln's ad-
dress at Gettysburg. Miss Short: selec-
| ton, Mrs. e. b. weirick; patriotic med
| ley, High school choir; song. There's
Rest in the Shade of the Trees" Silver
| Bow Glee club: Grafton. J. II. Durston:
| solo and chorus Silver Bow Glee club
| national Memorial hymn. audience;
benediction.
The usual Decoration day football
game will take place in the afternoon
| Eight members of the old Butte team
have gone to the front to buck the span
ish line, but the rest, with a number oil
good new men. are formidable. TIT
adversary will be the Anaconda team
which ha. been greatly strengthened b,
new men from the Reliance and Olym'
pic teams of San Francisco. Football Il
a game which Is played in all kinds o
weather, so there is little doubt OF tn
game taking place as advertised.
1t will be a general holiday. All ma
tional. state. city and county offlces vii
be closed for the day. as well as tn
banks, stores, etc.
Owing to the fact that America Is nov
at war with a foreign country for the mrs
time in more than 80 years II IL suggest
ed that every house In Butte be deco
rated with the red, white and blu to
morrow. One flag displayed on ever!
house Is sufficient to show the unanim
ity of the citizens and their loyalty L
the flag and the country.

STAND BY THE MAYOR
Silver Republicans Will Not At
tend the Kickers' Caucus.
NOT A POLITICAL FIGHT
Il II Understood hat They VIII Vote
TO Confirm b Appointments Of
Mayor Harrington - Simply
Personal Spite.

The latest phase in the aldermanic
wrangle over the mayors appointments
is the fact which leaked out yesterday
that the silver republicans are not 60
ing to attend the caucus which has been
called by those who want to see the
mayors appointments beaten. II was
understood that the caucu would oon-
tain a mixture of democrats. silver re-
publicans and republicans and popu-
lists. too. IL there CHANGED to be any
populists in the council, which there
isn't. The. silver republicans have
concluded not to go near the caucus
and it is expected that they will stand
by the mayors appointments.
There are three silver republicans In
the council-Pascoe, Melcher n
Noyes. Alderman Pascoe said yester-
day, when questioned in regard to this
action of the silver republicans:
1T is very plain that this is not a
political fight. The fact that some OF
the democratic aldermen are leaders In
the opposition Is sufficient to demon
strate beyond doubt that this opposi-
ton is a matter of personal spite. in
stead of politics. Now, there being no
politics in IL, / don't see why we should
fight the nay merely to help along
our democratic friends who are kicking.
We can gain nothing by opposing the
mayor, for the democratic aldermen Of
fer us nothing, and can give us MOTH
ing. We can gain nothing by opposing
the mayors appointments. and neither
can we rain anything by supporting
them. But we are inclined to vote to
confirm the appointments for h rea-
son that We believe. the, appointments
are in the main very good. We wish
that Colonel jerks had been left on. and
the two silver republican policemen that
were dropped, but because these men
were dropped is not a good reason for
us to vote against all, the other ap-
pointees, who are good men. These
men were good enough for the emo
| Gratis to vote for last year, and If their
| record has not been satisfactory i have
| failed to learn of 1t. They seem to
have made pretty good officials for DEM
ocrats, and j am going to vote to con-
firm them. whether the democrats do or
not.
ut seems to me to be a ridiculous
| proposition for aldermen TO vote against
the entire batch of appointments, just
because two or three of the appoint
ments don't suit them. Ninety-hve
per cent of the appointments made are
men who served the past year in the
same capacities ioT Which they ~ y"
named. Why not vote to confirm then
and only vote against the men who are
unsatisfactory? Why should a good
first-class, faithful, honest official b.
submitted to the disgrace of being vot
ed down in the council for no reason OF
earth except that some of the alder
men are mad at the mayor?
This whole fight is a fight OF spit
instead of politics, so we are out OF II
We are not COINS to be used for cat
paws his year."

Elephants Fear of Mice.

From the New YORK sun.
IT seems Incredible that 50 small and
harmless an animal as a mouse In able to
brighten an elephant almost out Of his
senses. One little mouse in the hay on
which they are feeding will stampede an
entire herd. In their native land there are
little animals. known as c~hacanas. which
feed on a small. sour berry Of which ele-
plants are very fond. They live In settle
ments. something after the manner of
prairie dogs. under the berry bushes.
When feeding. the elephants trsmple the
little towns. and the chacanas, In their
fright, run up the tubes of the elephants
trunks. Their long. sharp claws catch in
the flesh and they cannot be elected. The
more violently the monster blows through
it's coiled trunk the more firmly the hook
ed claws of the little animal become i'm
bedded in the flesh. Inflammation and
death are the result. In captivity the ele-
plants think they are in danger OF the
deadly chacanss when they see q mouse.

Robert Thomas had a narrow escape
from death in the Blue Wing mine of the
Alice company late last evening. He was
working on the seventh floor of the no
foot level in the west stope and was on
his knees picking ore from a small ledge.
Fifteen hundred pounds of ground fell
away and caught his left leg. The leg
was broken in three places. but very for
tunate,y there was no further injury.
