WAS SENT UP FOR LIFE

Louis Mullen, the colored man who is
serving a life sentence in the peniten
uary for a murder committed in Butte
in the early part of 1898, is making an
effort to get his freedom and has writ
ten to Captain Stivers a request that
he draw up a petition to the governor
for a pardon. Mullen is an ex-soldler,
having formerly been member of the
25th regiment. After his discharge he
came to Butte and got in with colored
prostitute, with whom he had quarrel
and he shot and killed her. He pleaded
guilty and was in April, 1898. sentenced
to life imprisonment. Judge w. o.
Speer. who sentenced him, and M. l..
Wines, the prosecuting attorney at that
time, have both written letters indoors
ing the petition for pardon. Lieuten-
ant Ahearn, who knew Mullen as SOL
dier, has also taken an interest in his
case. The fact, however, that Mullen
has served only about six years, and
the further fact that the murder he
committed was without apparent justi-
f1caton or excuse, in fact a cold blood
ed and revengeful crime, there would
seem to be very little prospect for an
early pardon.
The Montana Ore Purchasing compa-
ny and the Johnstown Mining company
are the plaintiffs in another 100000
damage suit which was yesterday
brought in the district court against
the Butte {. Boston Consolidated Mining
company. The two plaintiffs say they
are the owners of the RaruS mining
claim and a portion of the Johnstown
lode, subject only to certain lease to
the Chilli Gold Mining company, and
that certain veins having their apex in
the Rarus claim in their dip enter the
Michael Dewitt lode claim. 1t is alleged
that the defendant company, in Novem-
Der, 1897, entered upon the ore body
belonging to the plaintiffs and took out
ore to the value of 100000, for which
sum judgment is asked. An injunction
is also prayed for and Judge Clancy
issued a temporary restraining order.

GENERAL BARNES Is
OUT OF POLITICS
WILL NEVER AGAIN BE A CAN
DIDATE FOR U. S. SENATOR.
Politicians Are Wondering Why
Governor Gage Does Not Issue
Senatorial Commission
to D. M. Burns.

When General W. II. L. Barnes packed
up his traps at Sacramento after the
Legislature finished the balloting for
United States Senator he declared that
he was out of politics forever and would
never make another speech which did not
begin with the words, May it please your
Honor" Some of the politicians fancied
that the orators utterances were due to
sudden warmth of feeling inspired by
the occasion and would be recalled after
calm deliberation. The general has not
yet changed his mind on this topic He
says now:
II shall never be candidate for the
Senatorial or any other office. / am glad
/ was not elected last winter and | would
not attend another session of the Iegfs-
lature If could be assured the Senator
ship for the rest of my life"
The politicians are still wondering why
d. NJ. Burns does not receive his Sena-
torial commission from Governor Gage.
One man who processes sincere friendship
for Burns made this remark at the
Palace:
''If | were in Burns place l would go to
the Governor and ask for the commission.
Burns, with a commission in hand would
and submit to him that they had com
mon fight. They could pull together to
secure sufficient number of votes in the
Senate to admit them to seats
IT is the talk among the politicians that
Gage will appoint the Board of Health,
Code Commissioners before he goes to the

Steppacher and Rickard the Governor
recognized Burns and Mclaughlin in
local affairs, hence Crimmins and Kelly
are anxious that the recognition should

their sixth annual excursion and outing
yesterday at Los Gatos Park The affair

ployes in years. Fully 1000 people, most of
whom were young folks, journeyed down
to the little town at the foot of the Santa
Cruz Mountains and whiled away the
pleasant hours dancing, strolling in the
foothills and participating in the games
The picnic was the largest that has been
held in Los GatoS for some time and the
broad gauge was taxed to the utmost to
accommodate the merry crowd. The
train which transported the excursionists
to the picnic grounds was divided into
five sections, each following closely on the
other.
The picnic grounds with the moving
throng of pleasure seekers clad in outing
costumes of variegated hueS presented a
gala spectacle. 1t seemed as If each and
