SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

At last nights meeting of the board OF
education the fact that Butte is growing
RAPIDLY was shown by the report OF Su-
pernitendent Hendricks. The school rec
ords show an increase of 1875 pupils dur
ing the past 80 days. The total number
of pupils enrolled in tEle district is 5,99S,
Of which $500 are pupils of the city
schools. superintendent Hendricks is OF
the opinion that next year District NO. l
of this county will contain one-fourth OF
the students of the state.
The action of the executive committee
in the matter of the Passmore claim
against the district was ratified last
night. This matter has been hanging fire
for some time, and it looked as though it
would have to be carried into the courts
for final adjustment. Passmore 4 Co.
We're architects of one of the school
buildings erected last year and had a
claim against the district, upon which
those Interested could not agree. Pass
more wanted something more than $4,000,
which the board was unwilling to pny.
The trouble was referred to the executive
committee at the last meeting of the
board. The committee compromised with
the architects on a basis of 81, 500, and the
action of the board last night makes a
final disposition of the claim.

HAMLET AS A PHILOSOPHER.
DR.. EISENBERG'S LECTURE AT
THE AUDITORIUM LAST NIGHT.

Hamlet was the subject of DR..
E~isenberg'S lecture at the Auditorium
last evening. 1t was the third lecture
of the university course recently inaugu-
rated by some of the progressive think-
ers of the city. and was attended by a
large concOurse of people. The lecturer
was in excellent form, and the lovers of
the bard of Avon were highly pleased
with the manner in which the subject
was handled.
Hamlet" said he, sis at once the best
and the worst commented of all of
Shakespeare's plays. 1t is at once the
best used and best abused, M will re-
main the most popular of all his in
genious dramas. Numerous and con-
ficting are the comments which this
play has received from the hands of the
critics. And yet Hamlet has done per-
haps more toward stimulating the mind,
sharpening the wit, afousing a search
ing inquiry into the hidden secrets of
life than any other book or noted work.

FOUND insane
IN THE WOODS
Gordon Sherman is in a H0rri-
rible Condition.
HANDS AND FEET FROZEN
Will Probably Have to Suffer Several
AmputatiOns and May
Die.
HANDS AND FEET

Gordon Sherman, a man who. during
his ten years residence in Butte. has
experienced several narrow escapes from
death, was found in the mountains to-
day near Saw Mill canycn, in a state of
dementia, and so badly frozen from sew
eral days exposure to the severe weather
that he will probably lose both his
hands and feet, if indeed, he does not
die.
sherman was discovered by Joseph
Num-, a rancher, who resides in the
neighborhood of Saw Mill canyon. He
had occasion to so up into the mountains
early this mornlng and came across a
man crawling about in the bushes on
his hands and knees. He called to him
and the man crawled behind a tree stump
in an effort to get out of sight. He went
up to him., the nan in the meantime try
ing to get out of the way, and upon adj
dressing the man and receiving a reply
realized that Sherman was insane. He
was told by Sherman that he was en-
deavoring to get away from his enemies.
Mum carried Sherman to his wagon and
brought him to town, leaving him at the
county Jail. En- route to the city Sherman
become very demonstrative. so much so
that it was necessary to secure help to
bring him to the city.
Mum arrived in the city about 2
o'clock, and while the physicians nave
not yet mad Il thorough examination of
Sherman it is thought that his condition
is so critical as to make his death al
most a certainty.
Gordon went out into the Six Mile
canyon country about three months ago
to represent some mining claims and just
how he got in the condition he is, is a
matter of conjecture.
Sherman is more or less known to the
people of Butte. Six or seven years ago
he became involved in a saloon quarrel
with Balcain Petit, all undertaken. Petlt
shot him, and at the time the wound was
supposed to be fatal, but he recovered.
The case attracted considerable attention
at the time. Later he fell down an one
chute a conSiderab BILE distance, sufficient
to inf1ict fatal injuries, but escaped with
slight injuries.

to the multiplicity of the commentaries
with which our libraries abound. Like
the school men of the middle ages, who
undertook to prove every and all things
by the Bible, and did not hesitate, a.
many theologians do today, in commit
ting violation of truth and propriety,
and would distort the text to suit their
own ideas. so do most of those learned
commentators endeavor to speak into
the lines Of Hamlet their own peculiar
and favored opinions. u Hamlet
is universal life in miniature. His eX-
perience is the experience of the whole
world. = y Shakespeare doubtless
intended to present a character in whom
are combined all the gifts and endoW-
ments that are possible to grace the
brow of mortal-birth, station, learning,
culture, physical beauty and

The Law of Exhibits Enables
Him to Escape.
HE DID NOT "BEEF" ABOUT IT
After His Discharge lie Presents the
C0mplainants With a Bill
Other Court Notes.

Butcher John L. Kreig wiggled out of
a bad hole in Judge Clancy's court this
morning and it made him smile.
Last summer he was arrested at the
@instigation of the Nagel sisters, who
keep a restaurant in East Granite street,
the charge against him being petit lar
ceny. The sisters claimed that he mad
been short-weighing them on meat; that
he had been charging them so much for
each Quantity purchased and they had
discovered by weighing it afterwards
that the price did not correspond with
the weight. In one instance there was
a difference of some forty odd cents and
they caused his arrest on a charge OF
petit larceny. The matter was tried in
Justice Laurandeau's court and result
ed in the defendant being found guilty.
He was fined $500 and sentenced to six
months in the county Jail, blu he fooled
the court by appealing the case to the
district court. This morning it was
taken up in department No. II. and all
parties concerned were on hand. A jury
was secured, sworn and enlightened as
to what the state expected to prove, but
when the point at which the first wit
ness was to begin giving testimony was
reached it was found that the exhibits
and some other important papers We're
missing. Court was then adjourned 10
minutes in order to give the prosecution
a chance. to find them. Laurandeau was
hunted UP, but he knew nothing about
them. The clerk of the court did not
know where they were-in fact no one
knew anything about them, and under
the circumstances the charge against
Kreig had to be dismissed. The sisters
had dealt with Kreig for some time
prior to the arrest and when the matter
was sprung he said they owed him a
balance for meat he had sold them. They
intended to resist the payment OF the
alleged Indebtedness on account of the

S. Court Matters.
TO COLUMBIA GARDENS

w. A. Clark and w. L. Hoge, con-
shutting the Silver Bow Railway COM
pany, ave purchased the Columbia
gardens, about four miles east of the
city, the consideration being about $780,
900, and will construct a new electric
line to that resort.
This information was obtained this
afternoon through the filing in the
United States court of an application of
]. R. Wharton, receiver of the Butte
Consolidated Street Railway
for permission to lease to the Silver Bow
Railway company the right of way over
the old line from the junction near the
race track to Columbia gardens, for a
monthly rental of IS, for the term of one
year.
n new corporation, according to the
papers filed in the matter, agrees to con-
struct a new double tract from the juno
ton to the gardens, a distance of about
two miles, the road to be operated by
electric power. Judge Knowles granted
the application and incidentally remind
ed Receiver Wharton, who was present,
that he expected a report of the opera
tons of the Butte Consolidated Railway
company to be handed to him at an early
date. Mr.. Wharton explained that he
had expected a deal to go through for a
compromise of the difficulty between the
creditors n the Street Railway COM
pany and had neglected to submit a re-
port.
The resort known as Columbia gar
dens was owned by H. l.. Frank and
Will Lewis, and up to two years ago was
conducted as a pleasure resort. During
last sum1oar, however, the Street Rail-
a company failed to operate it's line
to the gardens, and the place was prac-
tically closed to the public. 1t is under
stood. however, that the rails and equip
ment for the new line contemplated
lave been ordered and that work will
begin at once.
