A BRAzEN BURGLER.
The Poundmaster's House Ransacked
From Top to Bottom.

The Poundmaster's House Ransacked
From Top to Bottom.
One burglar had better look out or
he'll get put in the pound, that is he
will if he falls into the hands of GER
tain member of the police department,
which as burglaries go in Butte is not
saying that he is in any imminent dan
ger of meeting with such misfortune,
but that's another side of the story
The brazen fellow actually had the au-
dacity to break into the residence of
George Whitmore, who lives at 917 West
Granite street, yesterday afternoon and
ransack the house from top to bottom.
Mr. Whitmores official position is
poundmaster, but by virtue of his office
he is ex-of1icio a member of the police
department, and it is this fact which
causes him to feel somewhat chagrined
more than what he lost, for while the
fellow had the grace to take very little,
Mr.. Whitmore feels he might have
shown a little better taste and a little
more respect for his calling. Mr.. Whit
more regards the offense as unpardona-
ble and declares nothing will save that
particular burglar long term in the
pound with the rest of the animals if ne
ever lays eyes on him. While this phase
of the burglary is irritating the is
another that is incomprehensible to
Officer Whitmore. That is that the fell
low evidently took him for capitalist,
for an examination of the premises
after the burglary revealed quite clear
ly that it was money his burglarship
was after. Why he should have expect
ed to find surplus of the national me-
dunn of exchange in his domicile is
what puzzles the city's guardian of
stray dogs, cattle and such, to under
stand.
Mrs. Whitmore went calling yesterday
afternoon. She left home about 2
o'clock, and before going locked the
house securely. While she was gone
the children came home from school
and found the back door of the house
open. On the floor were the broken
pieces Of toy bank that had belonged
to one of them. Mrs. Whitmore came in
and found them bemoaning their loss.
On looking about she saw she had an
unWelcome caller in her absence. 1t re-
CURED no expert to tell her that. The
house was literally topsy turvey from
top to bottom. Mrs. Whitmore hurried
to the corner grocery and telephoned
police headquarters. Officer McGillick
was detailed to investigate, but learned
nothing that might lead to the appre-
hension of the burglars. When Mr..
Whtmore returned in the evening an
account was taken of that which should
be in the house, and it was found no.
thing had been taken but a dollar in
change and some rare coins that had
been in the toy bank, indicating it was
money the burglars was after.
Mr. Whitmore was congratulating
himself in the presence of some Of his
fellow officers last evening that his
clothes had not been taken, when one
remarked unconsolingly that there was
probably reason for that, as the fell
low doubtless wore mans size.

WILL INSPECT SEWERS
The City Engineer Is Making His
Annual Examination.
INFERIOR PLUMBING WORK
Many Serious Defects Discovered-Care.
lessness in Issuing Licenses-An
Examination Now Demanded
of All Applicants.

City Engineer Bickenbach has started
out on his annual inspection of sewers
| and connections, and force of men is
| now making a thorough investigation
| OF premises where grease traps and
sewer pipes are used. 1t has come I'M
der the observation of the engineer that
there has been a great deal of inferior
plumbing work done in the city. This
in part is due to the fact that men with
out knowledge of plumbing have sue
ceeded in obtaining plumbers licenses.
1t has been the practice to issue licenses
to do plumbing to awning makers, tin
smiths, thinkers and kindred tradesmen,
and this has operated to cause many
serious defects in the plumbing system
OF the city. Engineer Bickenbach now
proposes to enforce the ordinance strict
ly with reference to the issuing of plum
bers' licenses. 1t is required that appli-
cants submit to an examination as to
their ability to perform the work which
they are required to do; and after the
31st of December all licenses expire.
Since that date the number of appli-
cants has been comparatively small, due
to the fact that the applicants in the
main have been practical plumbers, the
other class hesitating to come forward
for examination. This being the case it
is predicted that the plumbing to be
done this year will be of a superior
character.
The ordinance relating to plumbing
and city draining is in substance as fol-
lows:
Sec. 1. No person, firm or corpora
ton shall engage in or carry on the
business of plumbing, house drainage,
building cess pools, or connecting house
drainage with city sewerage or cess
pools or heating or ventilation, the con-
struction or modification of sewers or
appurtenances to sewer connections, or
fix or place, either without or within
any building, any water supply pipes or
any connections thereto whatsoever,
from any water main laid in the streets
of the city of Butte, until he or they
shall first shall obtain a license from
the city council of said city And no
person, firm or corporation shall receive
such license who shall not have an es-
tablished place of business within the
corporate limits of the city of Butte
and who shall not first have furnished
the inspector of buildings or the city
engineer satisfactory evidence of his or
their responsibility and ability to ply
their trade in accordance with the regu-
lations of this ordinance and the rules
of the inspector of buildings.
Or if the decision of the inspector of
buildings and city engineer be adverse
to the granting of such license, said
party applying for the same may ap-
peal to a board of sanitary commission
ers. Said board shall be composed of
said inspector of buildings, the city en-

which trains are allowed to run within

west as the Colorado smelter, which

said he thought the train was running

Mrs. III. r. Dausman of st. Louis
county often visits here and is well
known to a number of people in Iron
county. The following is taken from
tuesdays Republic: The suit of Doc
tor Henry l.. Dausman against his
stepmother, Henrietta r. Dausman,
was dismissed in Judge Withrow 5
court yesterday for want of prosecu-
ton. The case has been pending since
1898. The proceeding was begun in

The plaintiff alleged that Mrs. Daus-
