NO SCORCH|NG FOR HIM
G. w. Newell Pleaded Guilty to
Petit Larceny.
ARRESTED NEAR MISSOULA
Six Months in the County Jail-Walker
Discharged From Custody-The Real
Culprit Got Away - Mough-
tons Story a Hoax.

G. w. Newell will do no more scorch-
ing for something for over a year, if
he is required to serve out the full SEN
tence imposed upon him yesterday by
Justice Nichols, after he had pleaded
guilty to charge of petit larceny.
Newell is the man who one day last
week rented bicycle from Frank Car
ter, and Immediately scorched out of
the city. Carter, when the wheel did
not come back when it should made
inquiry among Newell's friends, and
was informed that returning to Butte
did not figure among Newels plans
for the future. He accordingly sought
and procured the issuance of war
rant for Newell's arrest for grand lar
ceny. Newell was located in He'll Gate
canyon, up near Missoula. and was ar
rested. Deputy Sheriff Aware went to
Missoula few days ago and brought
Newell back. He realized he was in
bad box, but claimed the bicycle was
not worth enough to make his offense
grand larceny, and said he would plead
guilty to petit larceny if permitted to
do So AS there appeared to be some
question as to the wheel being worth
more than $50, the county attorney
consented.
Yesterday Newell was taken before
Judge Nichols on the reduced chargA
and pleaded guilty. He pleaded that
he did not realize the seriousness of his
offense till after he was arrested, but
Judge Nichols did not regard this miti-
eating his crime to any great extent
and sentenced him to six months in
the county Jail and to pay a fine of
$500, which means a term Of about a
year and two months.
George A. Walker, the man arrested
last week for passing a bogus check,
and whom the police claimed at the
time had been doing something like a
land office business in that line. was
discharged from custody yesterday at
the conclusion of his preliminary hear
ing before Justice Nichols. Chief of
Police Lavelle claimed that when Wal
ker was arrested a number of
worthless checks were found in his Pos
session and that he had evidence of
Walker having passed several worth
less checks, but for some reason he cid
not present his evidence to the county
attorneys Office, and all the state had
to go on was a check for $40 on Hose
Brownlee e. Co. signed by F. w. NJ
main witness, p. II. Wetherby. who
cashed the check, was to the effect that
Walker was in his saloon when Weyson
came in, and asked for a blark check
He was given one aud made out a
check for 500 but in signing it blotted
the signature so badly that he would

That electricity must soon surplant
the cable as a motor power for street
cars in the large cities is now generally
conceded by engineers and traction ex-
perts. While the inadequacy of the
cable system to handle the traffic, and
it's failure to meet the demands of Goth
century progress in urban transporta-
ton are acknowledged. 1T cannot be
contended that the overhead trolley is
a satisfactory substitute. While the
overhead trolley has enriched the real
estate boomers and put new life into the
country towns. it is entirely unsuited
to the congested streets Of a metropo-
lis. 1t is, in fact. a cheap, unsightly
temporary make shift, requiring for its
operation a network of overhead wires
that are a source of constant danger
to life and property in the thickly
crowded streets.
No permit for the permanent use OF
the overhead trolley in any of the
business streets of Chicago should be
granted. If the traction company de-
sires to use electricity on State street
it should be required to change to the
underground trolley, the only system
that is now perfectly adapted for trac-
ton purposes in large city.

Due to Heart Failure.

Coroner Julien held an inquest last
evening to establish the cause of death
of John F. Smith, the blind man who
was found dead in bed at the residence
of his sister Mrs. Martha Hood, at 544
West Broadway, Wednesday. While
there was no idea that death resulted
from anything but natural causes, no
physician had attended the deceased,
and there being no one to sign death
certificate, an inquest was necessary.
The testimony of the relatives all tend
ed to show death to have been due to
heart failure, and the jury returned q
verdict finding that to have been the
cause of death.

BRUCE HAS A PLAN.


Western Fart OF tho Nlty.
The city was approached yesterday
with an excellent proposition-for the
other party--who is designated in the
typewriter document accompanying
the proposal as Albert E. Bruce,
party of the first part" 1t was a pro-
posal by Mr.. Bruce to deed to the city
ground for the opening of streets in the
northwestern portion of the city which
is not now plated. On the face the propo-
sition would seem quite public spirited,
but some of the aldermen who hap
pened to drop into the clerks office and
looked over the document Mr. Bruce filed
containing his proposal, did not seem
to regard it as magnanimous as 1t would
appear
The document filed with Clerk Callan,
to be submitted to the council at its
next meeting, is a proposal by Mr..
Bruce to deed to the city surface rights
across the Jasper, Caledonia, Pacific
slope and original lode elaine, which lie
Immediately north of the northwest cor
ner of the original townsite of Butte,
for the purpose of extending Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana streets north
across the properties mentioned.
The proposition, as Clerk Callan IN
derstands 1t, Is to deed the streets to the
city, get them opened and sell lots by
meets and bounds. which would be
very nice scheme for the party of the
first party and the people living there,
for the reason that the ground being
mining claims and not plated, is as
sessable only as acreage, and all the
advantages of water, lights and fire
plugs would be had without the neces-
sity of paying the city taxes. as would
be the case IL the ground were plated
and taxed as city lots. Another adj
vantage the property owners would en-
Joy would be that if the streetswere to BE-
opened without requiring the ground to
be plated, the propert yowners could
demand the public improvements that
go with the opening Of streets, and the
cost of grading, laying sidewalks, ETC..
could not be assessed up to the property
owners because OF the ground being
p lated.
Several aldermen who were visitors to
the city hall yesterday had the PROPOSE
ton called to their attention. The gen.
eral comment was that the scheme
would meet with considerably more
favor II the scheme contemplated the
plating to the ground and coming in
and paying taxes like other people.

THEIR TROUBLES ENDED
The Ludwig Case Finally Reaches
a Settlement.
FOR FEES AND ALIMONY
One OF the Most Sensational Suits Ever
Tried in the District Court-Judg-
ment for Defendant in the
Louis Thomas Case.

The troubles of Mary and Henry

not been very prompt in COMPLY in :

an offer, which had been made, to set

for all time. The stipulation filed yes
terday was the result.
The Ludwig case was one of the most
lively and sensational ever tri d in the
district court 1t was exciting while it
lasted. There were shooting scrapes,
kidnapings, horsewhipping, personal
collisions in court, threats of dire n

HER FIRST ARREST.
Good Behavior for Six Years Saved Her
Fine,

Fine.
Good behavior for six years, as
woman of the town, saved Irene Hoy
from the necessity of paying a fine i'll
the police court yesterday. Wednes-
day evening the woman, with another
Gaiena street courtesan named Julia
Bertram, was arrested for going on
the street in her parlor costume, which
a policeman, who had not been ON the
force long enough to lose his regard
for morals, thought was rather too alb
breviated. AS she had not committed
another offense she was charged with
prostitution. In police court yesterday
morning she told Judge Sullivan she
had lived on the row six years and had
never been arrested before, and proved
her statement by the citys own wit
nesses. Judge Sullivan observed that
in his opinion a woman who could live
the life of the defendant for six years
in Galena street without being arrested
merited some consideration on her first
offense. and he accordingly discharged
her. advising her to suitably attire her
self when she appeared on the street
in the future.
Julia Bertram who had been in police
court only the week previous, pleaded
not guilty, and will have a hearing
Friday.
Mike Laffy. who had an encounter
with one Doyle in front OF the South
ern hotel a few nights ago, proved he
was assaulted by Doyle without any
provocation whatever. He also salts
fed the court that he gave Doyle good
thrashing. Judge Sullivan said he
thought Laffy was justified and dis
charged him. Joseph Barry, who was
charged with creating a disturbance,
had his hearing set for Friday.

BRAVE CADET BERRY.
Young Montanan Who Fought for Uncle
Sam Will Fight for the Lord.


The following concerning a young man
we'll known in Butte and Anaconda is
contained in the Oakland correspondence
of the San Francisco Examiner, with n
picture of Mr.. Berry:
Among the brave Montana boys, to
whom Oakland gave welcome on Satur-
day, was Cadet Berry of the Salvation
Army Young Mems Training garrison OF
this city.
when the war with Spain broke out he
was a soldier in the Salvation Army at
Butte city. He enlisted as a private in
the LIST Montana volunteers.
Speaking of his experiences Cadet
Berry said that when the bullets were fly
ing the thickest he was enabled to forget
himself by devoting every spare moment
to the spiritual welfare of those on the
brink of eternity. He also assisted Ma
ior Milsaps in holding religious services on
Dewey's feet.
Among the thrilling experiences of Ca
Diet Berry was one night when his COM
pany was compelled to lie on the ground
two and half hours under the steady
fire of the insurgents. who lay concealed
behind the tombStones in the Chinese
cemetery. AS the shower of bullets
whizzed past them it sounded like a hive
of bees let loose. During this time his
two comrades on either side We're killed.

ain Old Kentucky"

'1n Old Kentucky" is the bill at the
Margaret theater tomorrow night. AL
though on its eigth tour of the country,
the play seems as popular as ever.
The pickaninny band continues to en-
liven the performance with its music and
the dancing and acrobatic diversions of
its members. Despite the many attempts
to give this feature prominence in other
plays IN Old kentucky's' original dar-
key musicians have survived, because
they form part and parcel of the story
and are not dragged in by the ears. The
horse race loses none of its interest by
frequent repetitons before the same au-
diences. because 1t is SO admirably led up
to and given with such sllilful attention
to detail. The original company Is re-
tanned and the beautiful scenic equipment
is all new this season.
