RILEY IS DOING QUITE WELL.

Mr.. H. f. Riley is not spoken of highly
by a number Of sports who know him too
we'll. 1t takes money to cultivate the ac-
q%uaintance of Riley. He came to own a
few days ago, he wore his old clothes,
and by demeanor was such that when he
began to talk about how he would like
to run a 100 yard race the local sports
thought they had something easy. They
rustled up Ed Foley, a local footracer and
arranged a match, and betting was heavy
in Foley's favor, in fact about the only
hacker Riley had was Riley, and he man
aged to get up about 5000 on himself. The
race took place at the ball grounds last
night and Riley beat Foley out with ease.
Since the race it has been learned that
Riley is a crack foot racer, that his name
is not Riley and that he simply dropped
into Butte for the purpose Of picking UP
a little easy money.

ing against him.
In reply to this Mr.. Kelly stated that
on two or three occasions he had attempt
ed to have those who arrested Bertsch
come up and tell what they knew about
the case in order that something might
be done, but he had failed and he did
not propose to take chances on having
the county sued for false imprisonment.
He had heard. through newspaper gossip
that the only evidence against the
prisoner was the fact that a gun taken
from Schiffman and found in the city
had been traced to him. but even that
could not be verified. He there
fore wrote out an order for the discharge
of Bertsch and a few minutes later the
young maj was released.
