Bow canyon on the End of last Sep

Clancy's department of the district
court yesterday. The regular panel of
jurors, however was soon. exhausted

issued and made returnable at | o'clock
this afternoon.
County Attorney Connolly and his
chief deputy, Mr.. Kelley, are prosecut-
ing the case and 2. T. Cason and j. M.
Hinkle represent the defendant, the
name of Mr.. Hinkle having been en-

In drawing a jury it was found that
large number of those on the regular

the guilt or innocence of Lucey and

The state expressed two peremptory

said it would take very strong circum-

a man.
The defense used three peremptory

LIKE A BLOOMING BUD
City of Walkerville Has Been
Ali Slicked Up.
OLD CANS AND RUBBISH
Accommodations of the Long Winter in
the Backwards and Alleys All
Carried Away = The
City Is Clean.

Walkerville looks like budding bud
of II summers waiting for her beau to
come to take her to the circus. She is
all slicked up. During the past several
days the street and alley crew has
been doing good work. The old cans
and rubbish, Accommodations of a long
winter, have been carted away. The
streets are dried up and the alleys and
back yards are as fresh as bouquets Of
daisies
There were few citizens, however,
who affected Indifference and were slow
in starting the cleaning of their prem
ises. These were arrested and fined,
and now their yards are clean. They
mean business up that way and the
authorities will not allow the word to
go forth that the civ is unclean. The
city is as clean as it ever was. Still
there is more to be done. 1t is the in
tentlon of the authorities to see to it
that families do not litter the alleys
and back yards. This is the beginning
of a perpetual crusade against filth.
Rubbish will no longer be permitted
to lie in alleys and yards. Walkerville
is out of debt and has money to burn.
Hence it's attitude.
The next excellent move to be made
will be to pave. The material to be
used will probably be either Stag or
rock. There is some talk of planking
East DAILY and parts of Main streets.
A portion of the main street of Granite,
above Philipsburg, was planked with
heavy lumber, but before satisfactory
test could be made of this material,
silver fell to the starvation point and
the planked street has not, since 1898.
been able to show its worth.
East DAILY and Main streets in the
gulch are veritable mud holes in the
spring and during wet seasons. The
people of Walkerville see the need of
improving the streets at these points.
The material to be used must neces-
sarily be of excellent and durable
quality, for Main street is the center
of traffic for the heavy ore teams. In
the spring it is no uncommon thing for
two or three ore wagons to become
stalled in an afternoon on the road
from the Masonic hall to the Lexing-
ton hoist
Walkerville is up and at it and she
never was before.

HAS LOTS OF TROUBLE
Lee Is Up Against the Real
Thing Now.
ARRESTED THREE TIMES
The Political Spouter Confessss That
He Is Thief-His Butte EN-
ployers Paid Him to
Leave the State.

There are people in Butte, many Of
them, who remember Will ]. Lee, the
irresponsible political srouter who last
fall did his work so well for the men
who employed him that they had to
pay him to leave the state before the
campaign was over, and who, at vari-
Gus times in his career, operated as a
preacher Volunteer Army leader,
newspaper writer, mining promoter
traveller and all around fakir. Lee is
in trouble in Spokane and the following
from the Chronicle of last Saturday
will be read with interest by many in
Butte:

having more trouble in Spokane than
usually comes to men of that calling
Three times this week he has been ar
rested and confined in the city jail The
first charge against him was simply
that of drunkenness. The next time he
was charged with larceny, and this
morning he was booked again for
larceny.
Lee claims that he is not guilty Of
the crime charged against him and that
he is being abused while he is in Spo
kane. He says he is the editor of the
Greenwood Miner, a British Columbia
publication.
Yesterday morning DR.. A. Starke
Oliver discovered that someone had
stolen a medical dispensatory from his
office in the Van Valkenberg block He
notified the police early. The officers
found that the book had been sold at
Feise's secondhand book store, and
that the sum of rs cents had been paid
to the fellow who brought it there.
Feise gave up the book and it was "e-
turned to the owner, the proprietor
standing the loss of the money which
he had paid for the book.
"Feise gave a good description of the
man to the police and stated he would
keep a watch for him if he returned.
This morning Lee, whom he identified
as the man who had sold the dispensa-
tory, returned to the book store with
two volumes of Ballinger's code, and
offered them to the clerk for a trivial
sum. The police were notified of the
mans presence and he was arrested by

BEN IS A GREAT HORSE
a Deer Ledger as Game as Any
Racer.
TARAL- ON HIS PROWESS
Those Who Bet on Him Have No Reason
to Be Ashamed of Their Judge
ment - But the Best
Horse Won.
TARAL- ON HIS PROWESS

The Butte people who put their
ban have no cause to be ashamed OF
their choice or to regret exceedingly
their lapse of judgment; for Ben is a
great horse. He is a Deer Ledger and as
true and game as any racer. Fred
Taral, who rode him, is an enthusiastic
believer in the proves of the big horse.
IF such race can be arranged, SAID
he, Il myself will bet $4,000 on old Ben
if the Jockey club stewards will give me
permission to do it. l am a jockey of
long experience and have ridden some
of the greatest horses the American
turf has produced, yet I can truthfully
say that Ben Holiday is the gamest
and truest race horse I ever rode. There
would have been nothing to Saturdays
race if the field had been smaller and
he had got away running. he is SLOW
horse to begin and cannot run from
fat-footed start. When he is not
bumped about and can get into his
stride he can not only outstay any horse
in this part of the country, but he can
outrun him as we'll. 1 was 80 yards be-
hind the leaders when we got onto the
back stretch, because / was crowded
back on the line. / could not improve
my position in the back stretch to a
great extent either, because l got into
several pockets. When we got clear
sailing before us in the upper turn, and
] began to use the whip on Holiday,
1t was quite another matter. He passed
his horses one by one. as though they
were all common selling platers, and all
but headed Warrenton out for show
money. Had the finish been another
furlong away he would have got all the
money. Old Ben was as strong at the
finish as he was when the race began,
and he was running over the leaders"
Speaking of Imp, Dunno to-day said:
"Bannockburn was beaten on his mer-
it's. The best horse won the race She
was giving my horse four pounds of
actual weight and she beat him most
impressively.
Dunno had no fault to find with the
start and saw nothing to critcise in
Willie Martins ride. The start, Dunno
said, was fair ito all. He thought that
it was unfortunate that Banastar
should have wheeled when he did. espe-
cially as he was the popular choice, but
Dunno did not attribute Banastar's mis-
fortune ITO the start. The excellent
showing made by Bannockburn is
handsome tribute to DUNES skill as a
horseman. He took the Hayden Edward
colt after he had gone lame and made
a first-class animal out of him. Ban
nockburn has a bad leg and pulled up
bit lame after his last good race, at

A WONDERFUL SIGHT.
Tons of Water Plunging Over the Big
Hole Dam.

Tons of Water Plunging Over the Big
Hole Dam.
A large number of Butte pleasure
seekers went out to the Big Hole dam
Sunday and not a few returned home
early yesterday morning. They all say
it is beautiful drive out there and
that the sight of the great mass of
water pouring over the dam is beau
tiful beyond description. One of the en-
thusiasts said yesterday;
Il beheld the sight with admiration
mingled with just enough terror to
make it exciting. With eyes and
mouth open l looked at the magnificent
spectacle of a river leaping over the
artificial rock pile. The earth seemed
to tremble with fear under my feet,
and the vibration produced by the ire
mendous crash of water Jared my very
being until my senses seemed to de-
sert me and leave in their places a
quivering statue Of profound awe
Think of volume of water $50 wide
and eight or 10 feet deep at the crest
of the dam plunging down 60 feet
against a bed of adamant rock, there
crushed into a seething mass of white
foam. Its spray seems to be a mighty
effort to turn the tide back again. The
white capped eddies and Whirlpools
dart here and there over the troubled
surface below as if conspiring against
the inevitable in the vain hope of re-
turning to the source, whence they
came. In flash they disappear down
the river and join the silent process
sion on to the Gulf of Mexico 1t is
indeed the Niagara of Montana"

A HOT COMBINATION.
General Warren, Bulldog and Golf
Suit of Gorgeous Colors.


Suit of Gorgeous Colors.
When General c. S. Warren was in
Seattle he appeared before the mining
section of the board of trade and deliv-
cred an eloquent and valuable dis
course on mining, says the Rossland
Miner. The general was congratulated
on all sides and the papers gave long
reports of his remarks. The president
of the board was so well pleased that
as special mark of his gratitude he
presented the general with a bulldog
of unblemished lineage, When Hon. G.
H Macintosh was in London recently
he saw a golf suit that he thought
would just fit and suit the general and
purchased it for him. The sweater is
nightmare of gaudy color. The
knickerbockers are a dream in blue and
brass buttons, and are so loud that the
Kootenay thunder will be abashed in
their presence. The stockings would
drive a Scotch Highlander wild to Sc
cure possession of them. The general
is endeavoring, it is said by his friends,
to secure a freckled caddie to match
the color of the shoes that go with the
suit. 1t is anticipated that the gen
eral, the bulldog and the golf suit,
when he appears al social functions,
will astonish the natives.
