NOT IN A PAUPER'S GRAVE.
Mrs. Corcoran Will Be Buried by the
Catholic Society.

Mrs. David Corcoran, who was deserted
by her husband and left to die alone, will
be buried to-day by the ladies of the
Catholic society. and she will therefore
not occupy pauper's grave. During her
confinement and last illness she was at
tended by DR.. Renick, who had volunteer
ed his services free, but as the woman
had no means with which to buy medi
cines the county physician was later call
ed in and provided her with medicines,
while Mrs. John Buckley, neighbor,
nursed her. Nothing has yet been heard of
Mrs. Corcorans husband.
Among the three children left unpro-
vided for by the death of their mother is
child six weeks old. Humphrey Sull-
van of Carroll. father of Mrs Corcoran,
claims to be too poor to bury his daugh-
ter but he wanted to take the 6-weeks-old
child. Those having it in custody refused
to deliver it to him. They very properly
concluded that if he was too poor to bury
his daughter he was too poor to care for
the children. A Mrs. Hanley of Center
willie yesterday applied to the county COM
missioners for leave to adopt the child,
but she was referred to the county attor-
ney. There is a great difference of au-
thority as to the right name of the dead
woman and the husband who deserted her.
Some of their acquaintance say their
name is Coughlin, others that it is Cor
coran, and yesterday a lady who says she
knew the woman's husband and family in
Michigan said his right name was Cosgan.
1t was also stated that the woman mar
ried the man against the wishes of her
parents and that the latter had never
been on friendly terms with her since her

He WANTS S11,OOO,OOO
His Father Hanged by the Vigil
1antes in the Early Days.
LETTERS COMING GALORE
A Lunatic, Now in New Zealand, Writes
Detective Murphy That He Must Pro-
tect His Interests or Have a Big
Fight on His Hands.

City Detective Jerry Murphy and the
other detectives of the city have got
big job on their hands in the task i'm
posed upon them by one A. B. Mackay
of protecting hisinterests, which involve
the stupendous sum Of S11,0O0,000, under
penalty of having to settle with Mackay
in a physical encounter if they fail.
Some four months ago Detective
Murphy received a number of letters
from Mackay, in which he claimed his
father had been hanged in Silver Bow
county many years ago by parties who
were styled vigilantes, but who Mr..
Mackay claimed were actuated by
desire to get his fathers property. De-
tective Murphy was requested to see
what he could do toward restoring the
heir to his rights. About the same time
H. L. Frank received several threaten
ing letters demanding, under penalty of
death, that he give up the property of
the man he helped to hang. Several
other capitalists received similar let
ters. The author of all the letters was
undoubtedly lunatic. The letters were
dated at different places, and as the
fellow appeared to he something of a
traveller, it was for a time feared he
might turn up here and dc harm to
some one. Accordingly a watch was
kept for him for some time, but he did
not put in an appearance and the mat
ter was forgotten.
Yesterday Detective Murphy got an
other letter. from the contents of which
it is evident Mackay has not gotten
over his mania. In his peregrinations
the lunatic has made his way to New
Zealand, from whence the postmark is
clear evidence the letter Detective Muir
ply got yesterday was written. 1t was
as follows:
"Hurunui. North Canterbury. New
Zealand-To Detective J. Murphy,
Butte City, Mont, United States
America: I arrived here three weeks
ago I have got two brothers here for
the last 80 years. I wanted to know

Mrs 7. Benton Letter, the Butte girl
who won a place in Chicago society
and the circle of the exclusive set has
started to carry out her intention of
going on the stage She made her de-
but in Chicago last Thursday. and the
TimesHerald notices it as follows:
Mrs T. Benton Letter made her
first appearance as a candidate for the
stage in two one-act plays under the
auspices of the Chicago conservatory
al the Auditorium recital hall last
night. Mrs. Letter assumed the part of
Constance Cameron in The Marble
Arch and that Of Lady Carlton in
In Honor Bound A large audience
greeted Mrs. Letter, and overwhelmed
her with applause. She received a large
number of floral tributes at the close
of the first play, and was repeatedly
called to the front of the stage to ac-
knowledge the applause of her admir-
ing friends. Mrs. Letter announced her
intention after the performance to start
professional career some time early
next fall. Her first play will be
novels, but she is not willing to an
nounce the title just at present"
Stuart Robson will open his too
brief engagement at the Grand to-
night with The Meddler." and the
house will be packed. Tomorrow night
Two Rogues and Romance" will
be given. There is ring of genuine
merit to the title of the latter play,
and word comes from the localities
where this new comedy drama has been
presented that Mr., Robson's charac-
ter in it is debeloping as one of the
strongest and most convincing comedy
creations that this well beloved has
yet given to the American stage. Miss
Marie Burroughs also has a particu-
larly effective emotional role to por-
tray-it is that of Lucille Ramon. who
in the play is woman with a past
but who has become famous in the
world of letters as writer of fiction
over the non de plume of The Rajah.
Two Rogues and Romance" is one
OF the strongest plays that Stuart Rob-
son has ever presented. 1t not only
offers the star himself some of the
best opportunities of, his career but

of defacing the School of Mines building
some time ago were disposed of by JUS
tee Harrington yesterday. The cases Of
John Penrose and Eddie Bray. who dauh-
ed paint on the walls and poured asphalt
UNI over the granite steps, were dismissed,
the parents of the boys agreeing to repair
the damage they had done.
In the case of Edward Healey. a boy
old enough to know better, who was ac-
cused of destroying an cave trough and
connecting water pipes. the defendant
denied his guilt and went to trial The
charge was concusively proved against
him by the evidence of four or five boys
who saw him commit the depreciation and
Judge Harrington fined him $40. but he
succeeded in getting off with a much
lighter sentence. The boys mother was
in court and she so worked on Judge
Harrington's feelings by crying and plead
ing that the boy was her only means of
support that Judge Harrington reduced
the fine to 81.
