THE HOMESTAKE ACCIDENT.

Additional particulars were received in
Butte last evening of the accident at the
Mountain Chief mine. at Homestake,
Monday night, by which John A. Ken
needy lost his life.
The shaft is 14O feet in depth and Ken
nedy was at the 60-foot level. He had
pushed a car out to the station and then
given the engineer one bell, the station
signal to hoist, so that the chairs could
be put in place. Alter the engineer had
responded to the signal, Kennedy went
back to the car and pushed it out where
he supposed the Gags was. He had evil
IDENTIFY forgotten to give the signal to
lower the cage, and the car went down to
the sump, carrying Kennedy with it. The
stump had considerable water in it, and
when workmen went to Kennedy's res
cue they found him clinging to the tim
! bers, endeavoring to keep above water.
Three hours later Kennedy died. An ex-
animation of his injuries showed his back
had been broken.
Justice Of the Peace Lees of Whitehall,
who is acting coroner of Jefferson coun-
ty, held an inquest last evening, at which
the above facts We're elected. Deputy
Mine Inspector Frank Hunter is making
an investigation of the accident today.
Kennedy was a member of the Miners
union and Woodmen. The body has been
brought to Butte and may probably be
shipped to Canada for interment.

An Insurance Man Who objects
to Being Overlooked.
THE CONTRACT REJECTED
An InterlineatiOu Which Would Have
Meant Wholesale Purchases
JanitOrs Appointed.

One of the amusing features OF last
night meeting of the board of educa-
ton was a communication from W. II.
Winters, written in that g~entleman's
| usual eccentric vein, in which the writer
! made a vigorous protest because ne was
not receiving some of the insurance. lie
| even said that the report of the insurance
committee was intended to mlslead ana
| defraud, and paid his compliments to
one member of the board in particular.
The communication was lengthy, ana
what the conclusions were the world will
never know, for when Clerk Richards
had read for some time, n before he
had gotten his second wind, Trustee
White moved that the communication be
filed away without further action, sup
plementing his motion with the remark
! hat he did not think the board cared to
| listen to such a %harangue. The other
. members were evidently in the same
! humor, as the motion prevailed by a
unanimous vote.
The contract n bond of the Standard
! Furniture mpa of Chicago. FOR sup
| plying desks, was read. An lnterllnea-
| ton, stiplating that no desks would be
! shipped unless ordered in carload lots,
! called forth a protest from Trustee Lane,
and resulted in the rejection of the con-
tract. The clerk was instructed to draw
up a contract and submit it to the county
attorney, and, if it met with his approval,
to forward it to the company.
Trustee White stated that the hyloplate
which had been shipped was inferior to
the sample submitted to the board. A
motion to accept no desks or plate from
the until the contract and bono
was properly signed, prevailed.
On the recommendation of the janitol
and supply committee, the following per

a woman who is a house builder, and
whose ability to do carpenter work, plas-
tering, painting and masonry is equal to
that OF most men. She is Mrs. Stephen
Sedoric, a Polish woman, and the mother
of a family, who lives in Third avenue.
Within a short time Mrs. Sedoric has
built three frame houses, all of which are
on Third avenue. Two of them are neat
four-room structures of two stories. The
third is a one-stoTy building, On which
Mrs. Sedoric now is putting the last coat
of paint.
Mrs. Sedoric does all the work herself.
only occasionally asking the assistance
of her husband, who is employed in the
Pennsylvania tin plate mills. She digs
the cellars, lays the foundation and builds
the house from beginning to end, includ-
ing shingling, plastering and painting.
She can climb a ladder with a uck Of
mortar with the agility of a man. Mrs.
Sedoric uses a bucket instead of a hod
in carrying mortar for bricklaying.
Expert mechanics who have seen Mrs.
Sedoric's work say it is much better than
I the average. She does the work in odd
times between her household duties. She
| and her husband, who are accommodating
a small fortune, own the property on
which the houses are built. She has nc
trouble in renting them as fast as they

II want a warrant for the arrest of
Mike Kilgallon,'' exclaimed a man to
Chief Deputy Kelly at the county attor-
ney's office this morning.
What has Mike been doing?" asked
Mr.. Kelly.
why, about 10 o'clock last night he and
another man held me up, and took SAT
from me. Kilgallon held my arms while
the other man went through me-"
Have you any witnesses to the Of
ense?"
mo; only 1 can prove by Cusick. a bar
tender, that l had the money and l can
myself swear that the two men robbed
me-"
And they will swear they did not: that
you were dreaming. So l don't believe
you have a case"
Haven't got a case! Well. that's queer.
He's the son Of Tom Kilgallon, the mine
boss, and I haven't got a case! Say,
there is lots of red tape about this bust
ness. l asked a policeman to arrest Kill
gallon, and he told me to go to the chief
Of police. l went to the chief and he sent
me to the police magistrate, who in turn
| told me to go to Justice Harrington. Then
the latter sent me to you, and you as
much as tell me it won't stick. I'll have a
warrant for the arrest of that man if I
have to go to the governor"
He is at the McDernott hotel now. and
you can go and see him." remarked Mr..
Kelly.
Justice in Butte is a fine thing" con-
tinued the caller. IF a man robs another
of IS or $50, or commits murder it is all
the same degree of crime. Lots Of red tape
about this business"
You were drinking with Kilgallon last
night, were you not?"
Eyes; but l was not drunk. I lowered
between the hemispheres of sobriety and
intoxicat.on. If a man packs a gun with
which to protect himself he is arrested for
carrying concealed weapons, and fined
but if he is robbed he must have actua
witnesses to the deed before steps will be
taken to prosecute him. Good deal of red
tape about this business. Do I get a war
rant for kilgallon or don't IL"
You hav no case" answered the at
torney.
Take $47 out Of his hide" remarked a
friend of the caller, who had accompanied
him to the office.
IF I start in on that I'll lick the whole
family. but l don't want to do it. l have
known them all my Efe-knew them back
