A popular lecturer is quoted as saying:
THE first care in building a home is the
selection of a proper place." This is trite.
Nothing is easier than to select a place.
What the lecturer should have made clear
was how to get possession of the place
after it is selected.

DEATH OF EN- MA LEE.
One of the Most Notorious of Butte's Ma.
torious IN


News was received from the Warm
Springs insane asylum of the death
there Of Emma Lee, one of the most
notorious of Butte's notorious women.
II will be remembered that the Lee
woman was sent to the asylum -four or
five months & having been ~adjudged
insane. She has been steadily sinking
since then until yesterday morning,
when she breathed her last.
Emma Lee was brought to Butte by
the famous Malvini seven or eight
years ago from Chicago. She ran the
Little Club on East Mercury street for
several years. She was reputed to be
wealthy at one time, but whiskey and
morphine proved too much for her, and
took her money as well as her health.
At the time she was adjudged insane
IL was thought by some that she had
been frau out of her diamonds
and sealskins. The police found no
tangible evidence of this and no ar
rests were made. The authorities at
Warm Springs telephoned here to as
certain whether she had friends here
who would bury her. Nothing could be
learned Of any friends of the dead wOm-
an here or elsewhere. n h will be
buried at the asylum.

lie Is Accuse of Breaking Into Fred
Thomas Bank.


Fred Thomas, who eside in Walk
erville. has no confidence in banks, ana
until yesterday thought he had a place
for his roll where a mind reader could
not locate IT. and he defed p~ickpockets
and hold-up men. This bank also was
novel in that while he could always
have his money on him without burn
ing his pockets. If he ever felt
that he could pick the she'll with the
pea under ii. or the candy wrapped in
the $50 bill he always weakened when
he thought of the difficulty in getting
at his roll. But now he thinks that one
Sam Sing, a heather Chinee. who is
the proprietor of a wash house on Blue
Wing avenue, Walkerville, is in pos
session of his savings, trough no
shrewdness of Sam in discovering his
plant, but due to negligence on his part.
He had five 500 bills and one $40 bill
carefully tied up in a tobacco sack, and
the sack containing same was knotted
and tied in the knee of his drawers. and
he always wore wide trousers, so the
knot vas not noticeable. when he put
on clean clothes he had always here
tofore ~unknotted his money and tied
1t up again in the clean pair. 1t has
been the custom of San Sing to go to
Thomas room and get his washing
weekly. and yesterday when Thomas
missed the knot on his knee he at once
suspected the Chinaman, as ne ala not
remember taking the money out of his
bank when he changed his clothes, and
does not think ii possible hat anyone
could have discovered his system and
taken the money.
He at onc notified City Marshal Cur
ran of his loss and suspicion, and Cur
ran visited Sings establishment and
found the alleged drawers dangling on
the clothes line with a round hole in the
knee where the knot ought to be, ac-
cording to the statements of Mr..
Thomas. There were several China
men about the laundry. and the mar
shall arrested the one he thought was
the proprietor, but he proved he was
only an employee and did not go after
the clothes in question and was re-
leased. Sing could not be found yes
