Davis Said He Found Beg
ging Profitable.

Harold w. Davis, 80 years old, who said
he resided at Mo. 1928 Eighth street,
Washington, D. c., and that he was the
son of newspaper editor of that city,
was arersted Saturday night, by Police
man Thomas Donegan, of the Gregory
street police station on a charge of
swindling Davis victims are ministers.
Davis successfully worked several in this
city.
Davis called on the Rev. J. w. Ruth,
pastor OF. ST. Jaups NJ E. Church, at No
ZIG Third street, about nine O'Clock satur-
day night and presented letter. The
Letter was well written. 1t said Davis had
been to the Philippines with the Volun-
teers and had made an excellent record.
1t also stated that he was stranded and
wanted money enough to reach his home
in Washington.
When Pastor Ruth had read the letter
he became suspicious of Davis, who was
wei dressed and looked well fed. Pastor
Ruth refused to give Davis any aid but
instead put on his hat and coat and fol-
lowed the man. The minister saw Davis
stop several people and show the letter.
Pastor Ruth then called Policeman Done
gan, to whom he told his story. Donegan
placed Davis under arrest and brought
him to the Gregary street station house,
where he was locked up.
Davis was taken before Chief of Police
Murphy yesterday morning to whom he
told the story. Davis seemed mortified
because he had been placed under arrest
and locked In cell. The letter which he
showed Pastor Ruth could not be found
when the prisoner was searched.
Chief Murphy telegraphed to the Chief
of Police at Washington and asked that
official to investigate Davis story. Word
was received at Police Headquarters that
no such person as Davis lived at the adj
dress on Eighth street, and that Davis
was not known in that city.
Davis was arraigned before Justice
Nevin In the First Criminal Court this
morning. He was found guilty on a
charge of obtaining money under false
preteAces. The complaint against the
prisoner was signed by the Rev. Mr..
Cook, of West Hamilton place, and the
Rev Mr. Ruth.
Davis when brought to the bar looked
exceedingly worried anr seemed to feel
his predicament very keenly. He pleaded
piteously with the court for mercy

night, when / called on the Rev. Mr..
Owens, who fed me and gave me 81. He
also gave me sheet of onte paper and
an envelope. such as he uses. His name
and address was printed on it. In an
evil moment, wrote a letter to the Rev.
Mr.. Goodman, signing the Rev. Mr.

THEY MADE THREE RUNS
Fire Department Busy Yester-
day Morning.
HAD A MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN
Singular Circumstances in Connection
With One of the Fires Alarmed
the Owner and Occupants
of the Building.

The fire department had three runs
yesterday morning. Two of them were
to the Goldberg building in West Park
street, adjoining the o. X. Lewis dry
goods store. One appears to
have been in response to a
false alarm and the other was
for a small fire in the basement,
which had a very mysterious origin.
The two coming so close together and
the singular circumstances in connec-
ton with the last one We're the occasion
for considerable apprehension on the
part of the occupants and owner of the
building
The first alarm came in at 10 minutes
after O'Clock. The department., in
responding, found the saloon of Jen-
nings & Mahan at No. 112 filled with
smoke, evidently caused by a flue get
ting stopped up, but there was no fire
On the occasion of the second alarm
from this building. which came in from
box 81 at 1925, the firemen found a
small blaze in the basement at the back
of Deidrich's barber shop at No. no.
the hre was in that portion of the base
ment occupied as a bathroom, which is
used in the football season by the Butte
football team. There was no stove or
any kind of heating apparatus any
where near where the fire started and
as there was nothing to show how 1t
started there was much mystery con-
corning it's origin.
Proprietor Deidrich of the barber shop
was much concerned, as he evidently
believed an incendiary had been at
work He stated that when he closed
the shop the night before he left some
kindlings in the shop and on going out
put up the shades at the windows When
he arrived at the shop he found the cur
tains down and the kindlings gone. A
few moments later the fire was discov-
cred in the back room. He was much
mystified, as he said he supposed his
was the only key to the shop.
Chief Flannery and Assistant Chief
Sanger did not believe, however, that
the fire was the work of an incendiary,
but inclined to the opinion that it was
the result of spontaneous combustion,
as they found some litter and old rags
about the spot where the fire started.
Some of the belongings of the football
players were damaged and a small hole
was burned in the floor, but, all told,
the damage was very slight.
The other alarm came in between the
two from the Goldberg building, at 6:15
o'clock 1t was from box AZ and was
for fire in the tailor shop run BY A.
3. Brown at 1872 West Broadway. The
fire apparently started from a stove and
n small hole was burned in the floor
The damage was about S.. There was
$3.50 insurance on the stock, which was
a very small one. ...-'
