MONTANA'S HEROES
MASS MEETING AT THE CITY HALL.
TONIGHT TO WELCOME THE
SOLDIERS.

The mass meeting which will be held in
the city council chamber this evening
for the purpos Of taking some action
looking to the reception of the First Mon
tana volunteers when the regiment ar
rives from the Philippines, promises to be
largely attended. Governor Richards
stated to an Inter Mountain reporter this
afternoon that many prominent citizens
mad signlfied their intention of being
present. The suggestion that the home
coming OF Montana's battle-woTf1 soldier
Boys pc made an event commensurate
with the great sacrifice they made to go,
is a popular one and meets with the APP
probation Of all classes, and that Butte,
winch furnished a large proportion of the
regiment, should take the first steps look
ing to the welcome of the troops, is con-
sidered by those interested as highly
apropos.
The governor also stated that many
suggestions had been made as to Just
what should be done. The regiment has
slgnlfied it's desire to be mustered out in
San Francisco, and it is the desire of
many that this decision be changed so
ina the muster out could be held in
suite, where the relatives and friends of
the soldiers could come. see the organiza-
ton as it has been perfected by the ne
cesslt1es of war, and be present at the
mp ClCiIIOil1dl WuICH VIII make the
soldier a civilian again. To this end it
is probable that a committee of promi-
nent men or the state, comprising men
VINO nave been IN a way identified with
the regiment as a national guard organ
lzatlon, be sent to San Francisco for the
purpose of meeting the soldiers in tina,
city and persuading them out of the idea
or beng mustered out in that city.
1t has also been suggested that the
state strike a medal, composed of gold.
silver and copper, the great products of
Montana. and cannon metal from some OF
the pieces captured either in Cuba or the
Philippines, and that each soldier be pre-
sented with this memento of the states
appreciation of the splendid service rem
dered and the glorious record made.
Another suggestion, which appeals to
the practical. is that an association be
formed for the purpose Of securing en-
ployment for the mem who a little more
ina a year ago gave up good positions
and made sacrifices in a business way
Tor the glory of Montana. 1t is antici-
pated and hoped that many will be pres
ent at tonight's meeting and that some
thing good will result from it.

the body had been carried and dragged
from the track to the stream. The wit
ness said when he entered the Jail in
Colorado the defendant became excited,
but said nothing.
Il walked up to Lucey five minutes
later and asked him why he did not know
me-" said the witness. "He said: You
are Murphy. aren't you? What are you
doing here?' l told him 1 wanted him for
the murder Of Patrick l.. Regain, and he
wanted to know what Pat Regain. l said
don't o know? and he made no reply,
but wanted to kno when l was going
back. / told him as soon as he was
ready"
In explaining Lucey's actions when he
first entered the Jail, Murphy said he
trembled and acted as if he was about to
be devoured.
Mr.. Murphy illustrated Lucey's excited
conduct.

At the afternoon session today DIR.
Wells was cross-eXamined. He said he
did not believe the large wound on Re-
cams forehead could have been produced
by either of the two rocks while the vic
tim was in an upright position.
The defense ~endeavOred several times
to get the witness to admit that it might
be possible for a man to walk with such
a wound. but failed.
On redirect examination the witness
said it was possible for all the injuries
to have been inflicted by one blow and
the person receiving it would not know
what struck him..
~. J. ~Laurandeau, who at the time Of
the murder was acting coroner, n as
such held the inquest on the body, testi-
fled that in his official capacity he had
visited he scene of the murder the day
the body was found, arriving there be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock in the morning.
The body was still at the place where it
was discovered. 1t was taken to Greg
son. The pockets of the pant were in
side out: otherwise the clothing was not
disarranged. The witness said he had
walked up to the place where the killing
took place and found the sheriff, Deputy
Shay and Detective Murphy there. Some
coin was picked up by one of the party,
a 25-cent piece being one of them. The
key to the dead mans trunk was also
found on the ground. He was not sure
who found it. Laurandeau said he had
examined the contents Of the trunk at
the home of Mrs. Michael Regain and
found among them clothing bearing
marks identical with those found on
other clothing in the valise left at the
Gregson station.

He described the course of German gulch,
near the mouth of which Regan's body
was found, and it's relation to Silver Bow
creek. He said he had accompanied the
sheriff and his party to the scene of the
murder and had taken charge of the rocks
on which there were spots of blood. He
had afterwards turned them over to the
sheriff and county attorney.
The rocks were offered in evidence. NJ
blood was still plainly visible on them.
On cross-examinatiOn the witness said
he had not gone to the place where the
body was found until bou 6 O'Clock in
the evening Of the Bird.
DR.. George II. Wells followed Mr..
Hayes. Besides the blood, the rocks con-
tanned some blue stains. These stains on
one marked the spots where there was no
blood and on the other they formed a
boundary for the blood marks. DR.. Wells
testified that he had placed the blue on
them for the purpose of aiding him in
photographing the blood-stained portions.
The stones also contained some hair, and

WASHINGTON AS AN OLD MAN
Ace Found Him Nob1y Generous-DiG-
uified at All Times.

"You will meet, sir, an old gentleman
riding alone, in plain drab clothes,
broad brimmed white hat, hickory
switch in his hand, and carrying an UNI
hralla with a long staff, which is attached
- tho saddle-bow. That person, sir, is
Cen. Washington" This delightful por-
troiture of Washington in his old age
when the storms had passed and life ran
in ouiet groves by the side of his beloved
Potomac. was drawn by young GUSTS,
adonted son of the patriarch, and intend
cd TO assist the recognition Of Washing
-, Nv q gentleman who had asked to be
directed to him.
The wish Of Washington when old to
move gently down the stream of life until
T sleep with my fathers" was granted
The last years of his life were spent in the
nooce and quiet of beautiful Mount Yer
non attending to the healthful duties of
tbo management of his large estate, and
entertaining with courtly hospitality the
MANY distinguished personages who came
m do homage to his greatness
And vet, his latter days at Mount YER
non we're busy days; for, every morning,
,,;n or shine. he would mount his horse
md make the circuit Of his farms, dis
tonce of between twelve and fifteen miles.
Not q field or orchard, barn or cabin. wood
or clearing, but what passed daily beneath
his watchful eyes. His journal tells Of
a morning spent in teaching rebellious
coral honeysuckle vine to entwine the
Trunk of some stately forest tree; Of the
clearing away of the underbrush from a
crova of fayorite pines: of making drills
for the sowing of holly-berries, etc.
Each day he gave personal directions to
his overseers, regulating almost with the
care Of father the busy life of the negro
world, and sometimes even attending 81
rectly to their needs and complaints.

dent In the midst Of their interview
breakfast was announced; and the Presi-
dent invited the visitor, as was his hos
pitable wont on such occasions, to a seat
beside him at the table. The visitor drank
his coffee from his saucer; but lest any
grief should come to the snowy damask,
he laboriously scraped the bottom Of his
cup on the saucer's edge before setting it
down on the tablecloth. He did it with
such audible vigor that it attracted my at
tention, and that of several young people
present, always on the alert for occasions
of laughter. I'VE were so indiscreet as to
allow our 81 basement to become obvious.
Gen. Washington took in the situation,
and Immediately adopted his visitors
method Of drinking his coffee, making the
scrape even more pronounced than the
one he reproduced. Our disposition to
laugh was quenched at once"

KNOCKED WASHINGTON DOWN,
Father of His Country Given a Black
Eye by Virginia Politician.

Eye by Virginia Politician.
Washington was an eminently fair man.
He had a quick temper, but as a rule he
kept it under control. Sometimes, how
ever, it got the best of him. This was
the case once in Alexandria, Va, when
Washington was knocked down by Lieut..
Payne. Payne was a candidate for the
Legislature against Fairfax of AIexan-
dria. Washington supported Fairfax, and
when he met Payne he made a remark
that Payne considered an insult, and
Payne knocked him down. The story
went like lightning through the town that
Col. Washington was killed, and some of
his troops who were stationed at Alexan-
dria rushed in and would have made short
work of Payne had Washington not pre-
vented them. He pointed to his black eye
and told them that this was a personal
matter and that he knew how to handle
it. Every one thought that this meant a
duel. The next day Payne got note
from Washington asking him to come to
i the hotel. He expected duel, but went
Washington, however, was in an amiable
mood. He felt that he had been in the
wrong, and said: "Mr. Payne, / was
wrong yesterday, but if you have had suf-
fcient satisfaction, let us be friends
There was a decanter of wine and two
glasses on the table which Washington
had ordered to smooth over the quarrel.
The two drank together and became such
strong friends after that that Payne was
one of the pall-bearers at Washington's

Simnle in His Tastes.

George Washington was simple in his
tastes, and during his youth he was a
hearty eater, but was not particular as to
what he had. He wanted plain food and
plenty of it. During his later years he
ate very little. His breakfast at Mount
Vernon was of corn cakes, honey and
tea, with possibly an egg, and after that
he ate no more till dinner He kept, how
ever, good table, and usually had friends
with him. A book written by Maclay
gives his experiences when he was in the
United States Senate at the time Wash
ington was President. Maclay dined with
Washington number Of times, and scat
tered through his diary are bits Of gossip
about Washington.
