HE GAVE THEM A SCARE
Friends Thought a Mishap Had
Befallen Louis Hubert.
A VAN SEARCH WAS MADE
The Police Were Unable to I Any
Clue Il His Whereabouts, but He
Turned Up Smiling and All
Right Last Night.

Louis Hubert. a brewer in the en-
given his friends a good scare during
the past three days by absenting him
self without informing anyone where
he had gone. As a consequence of his
disappearance. the city was searched
high and low and yesterday his friends
gave up all hopes of finding him and
reported his disappearance to the po-
the riddle as to what has become of
him.
Hubert was last seen on Tuesday
evening when a lumber of friends saw
him and talked with him. Between 4
and s o'clock In the Afternoon of that
day he left the brewery and went to
the boarding house where he lived,
which is run by Fred Reininger, for the
accommodation of the brewery en-
ployes. He changed his clothes and
came to town, n during the early
part of the evening was at the Casino
saloon. I'm West Park street, which is
run by Gus Nichols. one of his particu-
lar friends. Nichols. Fred Seadorf.
bookkeeper for the brewing company,
and several others who knew him. said
they talked with Hubert that evening.
He left the saloon between s and Q
o'clock. saying nothing as to where he
intended going. n that was the last
anyone has seen or heard of him.
on Wednesday morning, when Fore
man Louis p. Best arrived at the
brewery. he did not find Hubert at
work and thought he might be iii and
sent a man to the boarding house to in
quire after him. Proprietor Reininger
went to Hubert's room and found IL
had not been occupied the night before
a~1 aara haal 49, 80 ha ~ a.
Hubert was a very reliable man, Mr..
Best thought circumstances sim
gular and was so much concerned that
Mr.. Meininger was asked to come to
the city and inquire after Hubert. He
first went to the Casino saloon, where
Hubert was known to spend the most
of his time when i'm the city, and
learned he had been there the night
before, but that was all the informa-
tion he obtained. Mr.. Reininger then
visited other places Hubert was known
to frequent, but found no trace of the
missing man.
Hope of finding him was accordingly
given up and speculation at what could
have become of him commenced. Some
thought he might have committed sui
eide. others that his mind might have
become unbalanced and others that he
had met with foul play. As there was
no good reason for the first two theories,
and as he was supposed to have con-
siderable ms with him. the theory
he had been foully dealt with became
the general conclusion OF his friends,
but he set the fears of all the anxious
ones at rest this morning at l o'clock
by suddenly putting in an appearance
at his friend Nichols saloon. He said
ne had met a rancher. who was n
friend. after he left the saloon Tues
day evening. and on being invited. had
gone to the ranch To spend a few days.
He did not seem to think there was
anything extraordinary about the cir
cumstances or that there had been any
occasion for his friends to become
alarmed.

A Galena street Touchdown.

Another Galena street touchdown was
reported to the police last night. James
Hawkins. a miner. employed at the
High ore. complained TO the police that
a who gave him the name OF
Maud Cobb had relieved him OF $50 of
his last months earnings.
, From the description he gave OF the
woman the police arrested Eva Jack
son but when Hawkins saw her he
said she was not the n who robbed
him. The police know no one OF Ga
lena street by the name Hawkins gives.
which is doubtless a fictitious one. but
he was able to give a good description
of the woman who took his money. and
the officers were confident of getting
her.

iFlR|lG UP THE PAVING
Street Railway Bound to Knock
It Out Some Way.
EFFECT OF THE FRANCHISE
~ Company Has More Than the Ordi
nary Nerve When 1t Asks PERMITS
non to Tear Up Another
Block OF Pavement.

: II the street railway company ant
knock out Butte's paving I'm n way
Il u sure to do so in another. At least
Who are beginning to think that is the
,case The company kept Butte's paw
ing monkeying along all through the
fall until December and there had to be
regular war before the company
could b induced to do its share of the
work
Now that Main street is paved the
ting the pavement torn up as much as
possible. 1t has already secured the
consent OF the city council to tear up
the pavement at the corner of Main
and Broadway and the pavement at
the corner of Main and Granite streets.
Since the pavement was laid the COM
pany concluded IL would be better to
have its west side line run on East
Broadway instead of on East Granite.
1t wanted to have a turnout at the
corner Of Broadway and Main so as TO
run its tract up Main, n then another
a Main and West Granite in order to
run int Granite street.
But now the street railroad company
n going farther. There Is now "A fran
chise in the hands OF the judiciary
committee of the city council which the
company ask 1t provides for a line
down Main street from the corner of
Park to South Butte. II this franchise
10 granted IL means that the block OF
pavement from Park TO Galena on Main
must be torn up.
One of the aldermen In speaking of
this franchise said yesterday:
1T certainly seems to me that the
street railroad company shows more
than ordinary nerve to ask TO have an
other block of pavement torn up. Why
didn't the company decide on this mat
ter before the pavement was laid? Is
II going to keep tearing up Butte's
pavement all summer? Why couldn't
II have told last fall that II wanted to
lay this track to South Butte and have
the track laid at that time, between
Park and Galena. so that the pavement
wouldn't have to be torn up again. We
have beer trying for year to get paved
streets in Butte so that we can have
decent streets. i thought that at last
We had Main street in good condition.
But we hadn't figured on the street
railroad company. They keep changing
their plans and every time they change
their plans they want to tear up a sec
tion OF pavement.
1T seems to me hat II is time for the
council to say that the street railroad
company shall conform to the city's
plans instead of the city always adapt
ing itself to the plans of the street rail

him with great pleasure, and the
badge was found in his pocket
