a cabin east of Main street, almost two
blocks from witness home. Larkin
would come to his place before daylight
and would knock on witness door until
witness was aroused: Larkin would wait
at the door of witness cabin until witness
would come out. Larkin's talk was very
irrational and disconnected; this occurred
during the winter of 1898 or 1894. Larkln
would tell the witness that he had a
piece of silver in his head; he would at
times be meek and gentle and at other
times would be vicious. He appeared to
have lost his mind. Witness thought
Larkin was always a little off" and was
of the opinion that Larkin was insane
at that time. Prentice did not consider
Larkin competent to transact business;
among his ntimates We're Mr.. McGovern
and MI. Lennon: the common opinion at
the time. was that Larkin was mentally
unsound: this was prior to 1892.
On cross-eXaminatio ton Prentice said he
did not know that Larkin was well off at
hat time. He had been intimate with
him during the two years previous to his
confinement in the asylum. McGovern's
was Larkin's principal place OF resort tor
probably two years; Larkin borrowed $40
of the witness at one time in the
Comique. and Larkin went into McGoV-
ern's place. got the money and pad 1t
to witness. Witness had talked with peo-
pie about Larkin's condition, but took
no steps leading to his detention: wit
ness heard Larkin curse San Benham and
others, but could not recall names; wit
ness never heard Larkin abuse his
friends. Witness knew that Larkin al
ways kept his claims represented up to
the time he was SEN to the asylum.
On redirect the witness stated that he
was Il years old remembered when
Larkin sold the Mountain View, for
| which he told witness he received $40, 900.
Terrence Lennon was the next witness.
He said he was 40 years of age and had
resided in Butte since 1880, and knew
James Larkin since that year; was intl-
mately acquainted with him; saw him
frequently; was interested with HIM IN
some mining claims; was on very friendly
terms with him: the friendship continued
until the time Larkin was taken to the
asylum; saw him nearly every day. Wit
ness described Larkin'S manner and men,
tai habits, and said during the later years
he acted like a simpleton; his memory
was bad: witness loaned him some money
and Larkin forgot to return 1t; his APP
pearance was that Of a man who took no
care Of himself. Larkin talked to witness
about his interest in the Snohomish and
Tramway claims; told witness that Muir
ray was going to foreclose a mortgage
on the claims, and a short time later told
witness that he had transferred the claim
to the Butte q Boston. Larkin talked
to witness about various business mat
ters; witness said he had not made Lar
kin an offer Of 8 C.000 for the property;
witness was of the opinion that the prop
erty could have been sold for that figure
at that time.

has an enviable reputation as a player Of
legitimate comedy roles. Mr.. Robson was
born March 4th, 1885. His stage career
was begun at the age of IA in Baltimore,
Md. The comedy which he Joined at that
time was called the "Shakesperian
Dramatic Club" and it's members in
cluded some names that have since oc-
cuDied the attention of the civilized
world. The truth of this assertion is es-
tablished in the persons of Mr.. Robson's
boyish companions, who We're none other
than John Wilkes Booth, John Sleeper
Clarke, and Edwin Booth. The Shake
sperian Dramatic Club gave periodical
performances upon a stage erected in a
barn, and their audiences were usually
made up of the friends and families Of
the embryonic Thespians. Robson de-
lights to talk of the days of his youth,
and recounts many interesting episodes
concerning those days when he was
struggling for recognition as a player.

Mrs. a Courtney is in Butte looking
for her runaway husband. She arrived
in Butte recently from the east, and last
night called at the police station and told
a sad story of how her affections and the
affections of several other women have
been triied with by the man of whom she
is now in search. Wifely affection does
not send Mrs. Courtney into the west in
search of her miScreant husband. She is
here rather in the role OF ar aVenging
angel. with the wrongs of several women
to right, and if she find her errant
spouse proposes to turn him over to the
authorities. and if her story is true Court
ney will spend some time in the state
penitentiary.
Mrs. Courtney told her tale of matri-
monial woe to Chief of Police Mulholland.
Six or seven years g Courtney lived in
West Superior, Minnesota, where he
married a girl named Williams. The
name he her claimed was Page. After
a year or two Page deserted his young
wife,, and went to Deadwood, South Da-
kota, where as Patrick Courtney, he
married again. and after a few months
left his wife and located in another west
ern town. where he again married. When
he deserted this wife he came to Butte,
and here, as Patrick Swift, he was again
welded.
The matter was turne over to City De-
tectiVe Murphy, who conducts the matri-
monial bureau Of the police department.

COLLEGE GIRLS MAKE BUTTER
They Can support Themselves by Pur'
suing Their Studies.

They Can Support Themselves by Pur"
suing Their Studies.
Not until some seven years ago as
the first state college for women
opened in the South, says the Boston
Transcript. This is known as the State
Normal and Industrial college, located
at Greensboro, N. c., and has its gene
sis and remarkable success in the mind
of one young man, DR.. Charles ID. Nc
Iver. DR.. McIver is not only man OF
great enthusiasm and executive ability,
but he possesses an immense capital OF
resource and invention. He is con-
stantly adding new features of self
support for the students at this insti-
tuition. At the beginning of the new
year it will be practicable for nearly
hundred INDECENT girls to support
themselves while pursuing their
studies. This feature of self-support
has been in existence for several years.
and instead of creating caste among
the students, has resulted in mag
nifcent leveling process. A line OF
work which is being organized and
which will give support to score
more of girl students, is the dairy
farm. This college is most fortunate
in having attached to it some 100 acres
of fine farming land. This has been
stocked with a piggery and some fifty
head of choice Jersey cows, which are
to be MIXED by the college girls. The
dairy will not only be self-sustaining,
but it will bring money to the institu-
ton from the butter these young ladies
will make. This butter has the college
stamp on it, and already the demand
for it outside the college is greater
than the supply can be.

THE HIGHLAND CLANS.
A Fancied Insult Sufficient to Set the
Heather on Fire.

Fancied Insult Sufficient to Set the
Heather on Fire.
The wealth Of the clans consisted ROT
in silver and gold, but in hocss Fad
herds, says the Gentlemans Mf$Hs'hc.
Some of the litter were bred N fns'
trcts from which they have be%h TX"
chilly lifted" but their posaf@i fTs
would point to the consideration NIX
their late owners probably hel1 foaF"
footed property of which they also
had, by similar means, forcibly de-
prived their original owners. And
thus the practice of cattle purloining
among the clans was based upon
give-and-take principle, which, now
ever, was characterized by maximum
of taking" and a minimum OF CIV
ing" The cattle forays, or creaches'
as they are called, were ordered by the
chiefs, and were, naturally enough, re-
garded as declaration of enmity
against the clan thus despoiled. They
were conducted with great secrecy, and
bloodshed was, if possible, avoided.
When, however, as was frequently the
case, these predatory incursions were
accompanied by loss of life, the feud
became interminable until ample ven
geance had been taken. Revenge was
inculcated as duty, the neglect OF
which was accounted a disgrace to the
living and a dishonor to the dead. But
cattle raiding was not the only, or in
deed the primary, cause of the feuds
which for centuries made the High
lands the seat of internecine warfare
between the clans. The most trif1ing
incidents generally operated in the
same direction. An insult, sometimes
fancied insult, was sufficient to set
the heather on fire. Nothing more
clearly exemplifies the relationship
which existed between the chief and
his clansman than the fact that the
most objectionable insult which could
be offered to clan was to speak in dis
respectful terms of his chief. That
insult could only be wiped out in blood,
and as a rule no time was lost in eX-
punging it. 1t sometimes happened
that clan smarting under an affront
was numerically too weak to take its
revenge in the only way which was
open to it. 1t bided its time, however,
and sooner or later tasted the sweets
of revenge. The clans had long men,
cries for injuries sustained, and the
germ of implacable hatred was often
transmitted from father to son, grow
ing in intensity, until finally extin-
guished in propitiatory blood.
