Hanged In Efflgy.

Our contemporary last week called
attention to the welcome extended
by the ARGUS to Charles S. Hartman
when he visited this county four
years ago, comparingit with our atti-
tude of today. More marked still ia
the comparison between the feeling
In Butte City two years ago and
now toward the renegade congress-
man, about to retire to private life.
Two years ago the people of Butte
strained every nerve to DO honor to
the congressman; last week he was
hanged in effigy at the scene of his
former triumphs, his image being
suspended from the railroad bridge,
bearing two placards with the words
Hartman, Traitor inscribed there
on. The was wired to come
and take charge of the corpse. OF
this incident and that OF the feeling
in Butte two years before, the Inter
Mountain state Silver Republican
organ, says:
"While the Inter Mountain most
earnestly condemns the action taken
by unknown parties in South Butte
last night, in hanging Mr.. Hartman
in effigy, it was unquestionably the
outgrowth of the unconquerable dis
gust which that individual has in
spired in this community. However
intense this feeling, 1t Is to be regret
ted that it found expression in that
form. 1t seems to have been a case
wherein the pendulum Of public senti-
ment swung the other way, i'm Obedi-
ence to the natural law of reaction.
Only a few months ago Hartman
was the idol of Butte. He rode in a
hack pulled by human hands from
the depot to the hotel. In every
possible way the %populace gave
evidence of the honor it felt for the

Arrested for Riotous Driving.

The two Italians who drove over
Albert Perkins last Monday were
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Wayne
the same afternoon on charge of
riotous driving They were given
a hearing and plead guilty to the
charge and gave bail in the sum of
$500 for appearance the next morn
ing for sentence. At 8 O'Clock Tues
bay morning the Justice of the Peace
sentenced the two men to pay
fine of $50 each and costs, with the
alternative Of spending 80 days in
the county Jail. They concluded to
go to Jail at first. but Tuesday noon
paid the fine and costs and were
discharged The fine is the lowest
that could be given on the charge,
and if it does not teach a lesson
the next time such thing occurs a
heavier fine may be expected.

The colonists, as well as those
who have occupied the Wymore
ranch in Smith Valley before them,
have had considerable trouble with
the main ditch on the ranch on ac-
count of bad piece of ground
through which truns around hill.
The colonists concluded that the
only proper way to fix the ditch
was to run a tunnel through the
hill, and this they are now engaged
in doing The tunnel will be about
400 feet long, and it is now about
half completed.

hour late last Wednesday evening
owing to an axle on a freight car
breaking when the train was bowl
ing along at good speed near Wash
out. The car was loaded with bo-
rax in sacks, and when the axle
broke went partly off the track,

up again and proceeded on their

A couple of weeks ago the report
was circulated here that F. c. Ever
EFT, Supt. of the Delphi mines, in
Smith Valley, had appropriated
money belonging to the company
to his own use, done other bad
things, and left for parts unknown.
1t now transpires that there was an
object in this, and the object was
to ultimately do Everett out of his
interest in the property, which is
considered valuable one. Everett
got onto the work, packed his grip
and struck ont for Ohio, where he
now is, making arrangements with
the head ones of the company 10
continue operations at the mine.
He will return to Nevada in good
time, and maybe those who have
been so officious during his absence
will not enjoy his coming.
