the coroner. He was drinking saturday
night, and early Sunday morning ne
went into a saloon in upper MAN
street and complained to the bartender
Of an injury to his left side, not saying,
however, as to the cause of it, il any
he knew. Several weeks ago he was
taken i'll and remained in hospital up
to about eight days ago.
Yesterday morning he was picked up
by an officer in upper Main street and
taken to the city Jail, where ne was
recognized by some of his frlenos; ne
was not very drunk, and it developed
that he had become almost unconscious
from the effects of the injury to his
side. He was promptly placed in a hack
and taken home and DR.. McNevin pre-
scribed for him. At 4:30 yesterday al
ternoon the doctor was called again.
but before he reached the house Agoa
was dead. The doctor made super
fetal examination of the body and dis
covered a bruised blackened spot the
size Of a tea plate on the left side near
the abdomen. The doctor said that in
his opinion the blow which made the
black mark caused death. 1t is not
known how he received the injury. Cor
oner Julien was sent for and that ofti-
cial turned the body over to Under
taker Duggan and notified Chief OF
Police Lavell that the case justified
police investigation. The chief set
about to inquire and devoted last night
to a close examination of places ana
men visited by the deceased early yes

Mr.. Agoa was born in Ireland 67

A GREAT SUCCESS.
Thousands Attended the Opening Given
by Legs, the Jewellers,


With the advent of the various sea-
sons, it is the pleasure of enterprising
Butte merchants to set aside certain
days for the reception of their esteemed
patrons. Among the first to so enter
tain their friends at the approach of
winter season is the popular jewelry
firm of Legs.
Yesterday was the first day of the
opening, and it was a success even be-
yond the fond anticipations of the firm
The elegant show room had been taste
fully decorated for the occasion with
palms, potted plants, smilax, autumn
leaves and berries. and it presented q
more handsome appearance than it ever
before assumed. OF special merit is the
superb dressing Of the handsome win
dows, wherein amid a profuse decora-
ton of leaves and vines, is displayed
in the most pleasing arrangement a Sc
lection of articles from the wealth of
the store proper. AS seen in the even
ing, lighted by a myriad of electric
lights whose rays scintillate in and out
among the elegant articles in gold, sill
yer, cut glass, diamonds and precious
stones and innumerable bric-a-brac, the
scene is one which appeals to the adm-
ration of ALL

full articles which Legs have provided

The souvenir of the occasion are salts
and peppers in glass, mounted with
sterling silver tops. A pair Of these
were presented to each purchaser Of
goods, the value Of 81 or more, and to-
day hundreds of pretty tables display
them.
The thousands who attended the
opening yesterday was gratifying to
the management, showing the appre-

firm to provide things beautiful useful
and valuable.
The opening will continue to-day and
tomorrow, during which time the cher

HAVE SECURED A JURl
Testimony in the Shadwell Case
Begins To-Day.
FOR MURDER OF O'CONNoR
Forty-Six Men on Special Vsnire We're
Served With Sunmons-Two
Peremptory Challenges
Were Waived

Inc jury for the trial of Robert Shad-
well, charged with the murder of Mar
tin j. o'Connor, was completed early
Yesterday afternoon, and the introduc-
ton OF testimony will begin this morn
ing. The jury is comprised as follows:
Richard Payne, F. J. Roberts, M H.
Penhofe, Morgan Howell, Thomas
johns, M. Perlman, Enoch Johns,
James Treloar. w. M. Dyer and Will
liam Murrish.
The sheriff served 46 men out Of tho
second special venire which had been
issued in the case, and Of that number
10 were excused by the court, and so
many of the remainder had opinions
that for time it looked doubtful that
the jury could be filled yesterday, but
both the state and the defense waived
two peremptory challenges and thus
avoided the necessity of issuing an
other venire.
Among the veniremen called yester-
day was William INES a we'll preserv-
ed man Of "A. He did not claim his ex-
emption, but the court decided that The
law made all men over the age of 70
incompetent to serve on a Jury. and
lines was excused.
Lie HTSL ten men calleQ Into the Jury
box declared that they had unalterable
opinions as to the guilt or innocence Of
the defendant. One of them was John
3. Thrill. He said he had fixed opin-
ion, though he did not remember any
Of the facts of the case.
Now, is 1t not fact that you just
want to get out of serving on the jury?"
asked Judge Clancy.
mo, sir; I have nothing particular
to do" was the reply.
Morgan Howell was the only man
called who had never heard of the
murder, but he explained his ignorance
of the case by saying that he was
Welshman. that he always minded his
own business and couldn't read Eng
fish. He said he would hang man IL
he deserved it and would obey the in
structions of the court so far as he
could understand them. And if you
will translate them into the Welsh
language I will read them" he added.
The judge said he would read them
for him. .o.
When the jury had been completed
both sides consented that the Jury
should not be sworn until this morn
ing, SO they might be permitted to
separate until that time.

CROCODILE OF CLASSIC DAYS.
Ono Ancient Story, Thought to BE Fab,
ulous. Finds Modern Confirmation.

Ono Ancient Story, Thought to BE Fab
ulous. Finds Modern Confirmation.
From the London Globe.
To say that the crocodile has seen his
best days is but feebly to express the
rapadity with which he is lapsing into
the class of extinct animals. As a fea-
ture of modern Egypt he is perhaps
rather curiosity than a plague: and
the traveller has to get far beyond the
regions of the delta before he can begin
to hope for the chance of being intro
duced to one. Crocodile stories are no
longer told; in fact, it Is safer to trust
to the sea serpent. Nothing can make
the crocodile attractive, and even the
man with the camera is shy of treating
him as a subject, whether for personal
or artistic reasons is not quite clear.
Possibly the crocodile resents being To-
cused as he formerly shrank from con-
formation with a mirror-an ordeal
which which often led to his dying Of
chagrin, as was supposed, at the sight
of his own ugliness. Moreover, the ex-
perienced photographer is wise in TAX
ing no risks" remembering that the
crocodile's tears are only natural SOL
vent which the saurian applies to the
tougher forms Of animal food.
And this is where the legend Of the
toothpick properly comes In. Herodo-
tus noticed the fact, but seems to have
been mfsled as to the motive. He dis
covered that the crocodile made friends
with a particular bird, which he al
lowed to enter his mouth in order. as
the writer supposed, to rid the reptile
Of the leeches which infested his jaws.
Pliny says nothing of these pests, but
considers the complaisance of the croc-
odile to be due to the satisfaction he
felt in having his teeth picked by the
bird: HE taketh so great delight in
this her scraping and securing of his
teeth and chaws." Both authors speak
of the bird as a wren later natural
lists described it as being as large as a
thrush, while it has been reserved for
the present generation of travellers to
identify this useful friend of the croco-
ollie as the spur winged plover. OF the
fact of the alliance there is not the
least doubt. The operation has been fire.
quently witnessed by numerous indie
pendent observers, one of the latest of
whom considers that the bird does act
ually perform the functions of tooth
pick, "a process which the crocodile en-
joys" With such confederation the mar
rative of Herodotus, subject to quail
fication as it must be, is at least to be
taken seriously, and no longer regarded
as the visionary idea of mere fabulist.

An Earnest Plea for

The Salvation army and its friends
and the big hall was well filled with an
audience that listened to a splendid
talk on rescue work by Brigadier Mrs.
Read of the army. Hope" in large
letters was written across a banner
which covered the front Of the stand
behind which the speaker stood and
delivered her interesting address In
the audience and on the platform were
members Of the city clergy and men,

But there was a noticeable absence of

a rescue home in this city. He stated
that the Ministerial association of
Butte was unanimous in it's indorse-
ment. After singing and a prayer by

audience.
TT is not necessary" she said "for
US to look across the sea to London
where there Is a great army, $4,000
strong, marching on to death; we need
not look further than our own country,
in New York. in Chicago, in our own
cities. Six years ago 1 knelt down on
the street in front of house in the
lower part OF this city in which a wo-
man sat smoking cigarette. I asked
her IL she would not come away from
that awful place of vice and she said
that few days before she had sent for
Salvation army officer to pray for a
friend of hers who was dying. The
officer did not receive the word and the
girl died believing that the army was
prejudiced against that class of wo-
men,"
Mrs. Read also told of other instances
and drifted into a general review of the
conditions surrounding some classes in
cities.
I'm this city," said she, "vice is made
easy. Some of your business men erect
the houses for lewd women to occupy.
and other business men and officials
on the awful business they follow. An
other thing, the very low wages paid
to girls all over the country is respon-
sible for a great deal Of the immortality
into which the poor women fall"

of a young girl who was a servant in
the household of a wealthy family. The
girl had been induced to accompany a
party of friends to a. dance one night

ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP.

Bailey Said He Couldn't Stand the Graft
and Fired. syS
A man who gave his name as Bailey
and said that he works in the Leonard
shaft reported to the police last night
that Bob Joy attempted to hold him
up in Meaderville. He said that he and
Joy worked in the same mine. and eat
at the Eureka house in Meaderville. He
said that after he quit work for the day
yesterday, he went to his cabin and
changed his clothes, after which he
started towards the boarding house.
On the road he met, and was accosted,
he said, by Joy, who, displaying gun,
commanded him to throw up his hands.
Instead Of throwing his hands up he
said that he pulled his own gun and
fired. Then he said Joy ran away.
That is why he came up town to swear
to a warrant.
