He WANTS HIS MONEY.
Young Dockmsn Says He Has Not Bee n
Treated Right

There is trouble in the Armenian
band of itinerants. The Oriental per-
formers have concluded their engage
ment at the Columbia gardens and their
music will be heard no more in Butte
The one with the grievance is Charles
Dockman, the man who punched the
bag with much velocity and grace and
won the plaudits of the people who
went to the show to see the muscle
dance. 1t appears that young Dock
man is rapidly crawling out of the lit
tie end of the horn on the proposition
He claims that he is money out and
none in, although he says he put SIS
in the company fund. This is the
way he puts his case:
"On the 18th of last November the
five Dekreko brothers and / each put
SIS into a common fund, these respec-
tive amounts representing our proper
ton of the stock in the amusement
company. Twice a month since that
time we have declared a dividend. The
last accounting we had three weeks
ago in Helena. Since we came to
Butte the receipts have amounted to
$685. Our expenses have been about
$500. Thus $500 is to be divided among
the stockholders. But the man who
handles the money, Jean Dekreko, told
me to-day to go and whistle for my
money. ! asked him to pay my board
and room bill at the Elwood, and he
told me to go to. Now that leaves me in
a distressing position. My wife is con-
fined to her room and a birth is
momentarly expected. I have no
money and my wife is helpless. l asked
Dekreko then to give me back the SIS
which l had contributed to the fund
and he told me that he intended to
keep that money. | have tried to find
an attorney or justice of the peace to
consult, but it is too late; they have
all retired for the night. / fear that
the Dekrekos will leave early in the
morning. l must detain them at all
hazards"
And young Dockman started out in
search of a judge.

BUFFALO HUMP COUNTRY
Many of the Reports Are Exag-
gerated to a Degree.
GROUND ALL TAKEN UP
While the Stories Published in Spokane
Have Been Highly Colored, Rod
Leggat Still Thinks the Region
Will Be a Good Producer.

Rod Leggat returned yesterday from
Idaho mining districts. Mr.. Leggat did
not go into the Buffalo Hump country,
but he saw hundreds Of men going in
and coming out of there. He says that
the whole country is talking about
railroad extensions, and that surveys
are being made from several points. the
object being the Hump country. The
snow is off of the hills and it is shown
that about every foot of ground in the
neighborhood of the Big Buffalo is ia
ken up. The Big Buffalo is not being
worked now. The deal which involved
its transfer has fallen through and Sam
Silverman, one of the boosters of the
proposition, is down in Elk City. He
has not made any big deals recently
Mr.. Leggat says that many of the
reports published in Spokane papers
are exaggerated to a great degree and
that there has been much complaint
from persons who have gone into the
Hump country on the strength of these
reports. Still he thinks that this much
boosted district will prove to be a good
producer in time, but he does not en-
courage miners to take all the reports
coming from there without a few
grains of salt.
Mr.. Legatt had no information to give
out regarding his interests in Idaho
more than to say that he plodded over
the country under the sun, which sent
down los degrees of heat in a steady
stream.

THEIR STORY TOO F|SHY
Examination of the Three Bows
Charged With Burglary.
HE SAW THEM IN THE ACT
Harry Hauck Was Right Across the
Street and Hailed an Officer = The
Boys Held for the District Court
by Justice Nichols.

Eugene Thornton, Jerry Sullivan and
Thomas Williams, the three 13-year-old
boys charged with burglarizing Jessie
Browns candy store on Park street on
July "a, had a hearing before Justice
Nichols yesterday and were committed
to the district court as fit subjects for
the reform school,
Henry z. Hauck, an employee at the
Casino saloon, directly opposite the
candy store, testified that on the morn
ing of the Gath, at about half past
O'Clock, he saw Sullivan and another
boy in the candy store behind the coun-
ter, and young Williams was stationed
at the corner, apparently on guard.
thornton was running in and out of
the store. Hauck hailed an officer and
three of the boys We're caught.
OFFICER Frank Call said he was pass
ing the candy store, and hearing the
noise inside, ran up Academy street
and captured Sullivan in the vacant
lot behind the Auditorium.
Jessie Brown told of the condition of
the cash register after the burglary.
The register was battered open and 81
in small change taken.
The defense of Sullivan and Thorn
ton was that they had been out to the
Nine Mile house and started to walk in
about II o'clock at night, arriving in
town about ) a. m. They separated at
Silver street, and when they got up
town both heard shots on West Park
street and got there just in time to be
arrested for the burglary. Williams
said he was going up town to sell
papers and he, too, went to see what
the shooting was about and was ar
rested.
Small credence was evidently placed
in their stories, for the justice promptly
said he believed the boys were guilty
and took action as above stated.
