ITS A PUzzL|NG RECORD
The Quietest holidays Butte
Ever Had.
THE CITY JAIL is EMPTY
The Police Force Has Had Hardly a
Thing to do for a Week-Arraign-
ments Have Been Few and
Far Between.
THE CITY JAIL is EMPTY

The extreme quiet which has for two
or three days pervaded the city Jail is
nothing more or less than remarkable
when the holiday festivities is taken
into account-a time when it is sup
posed that at least few arrests would
be made for disturbance or drunken
ness. In a word, it has been remarka-
bly, quiet in police circles all during the
holidays, and the reason for it all is a
puzzler. OF all the seasons of hilarity
which Butte has witnessed the last must
go on record as being the most order.-'
in police circles.
Night Jailer Sol Levy sat in his office
early last evening reading. reporter
broke in upon his siesta and the sud
denness of the intrusion caused the US
ually nervy officer to drop his paper and
look aghast.
"Hully gee" exclaimed Sol. Il thought
it was business coming. Why, would
you believe it, we have had no business
to-day at all. Butte is going to the
dogs. no business: what's the matter
with the boys-all swore off? Won't
they get full any more? See that cell
door, it has been open, wide open, for
holiday time. too. Think of it, and in
Butte, too, where people in the East
say there is continual riot and blood
shed. Why, it's appalling; I can't I'M
derstand it, it makes my blood run cold.
Sure thing, Butte is going to The dogs"
and Sol fell back in his chair in a dead
faint
Other officers of the force have re-
marked on the quietness of the times.
None recall a similar state of affairs
during previous festal occasions. While
the city has not been in the hands of
mobs or anything of the kind. still on
every former Christmas and New Years
the officers have had much to contend
with in the way of DRINKS, fights and
other kinds of peace disturbances. The
police have had as much of a holiday a
any other branch of the governs mt,
very few cases having absorbed their
attention, and arraignments have been
few and far between.
Judge Burns of South Butte, who
leaves his office with splendid record,
was in the city last night and said that
he has done absolutely nothing in the
criminal line for weeks. Judge Burns
is studying law and will soon be admit
ted to the bar, SO he leaves the office
whenever occasion arises.
Judge kirkwood of Meaderville is his
own successor. He does very little be-
sides civil business Butte is all right
and if anyone thinks it is not let him
look over the police records for the past
week or two. q.

freight in our state covering. say, 500

IN A BAD FIX.
The New Kansas Railroad Law Will Not
Stand the Test of Law.

The New Kansas Railroad Law Will Not
Stand the Test of Law.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2.-The populist
leaders of Kansas are confronted by a Sc
rouS problem. Both branches of the leg
islature have passed a railroad bill which
railroad attorneys declare is not worth
the paper it is written on. 1t was an
nounced to-day that Governor Leedy had
went to his home at Lawrence without
doing so. and that his failure to approve
it is prompted by a desire to confer with
the steering committee with a view to
changes in the bill and It's re-enactment
under a suspension of the rules. Under
the constitution the governor has power
to assemble the Legislature in extraor-
binary session when "a grave emergency
demands it. 1.-The emergency" set forth
in Governor Leedy's call was the neces-
sity of railroad legislation. Now the leg
islature has passed a bill which does not
meet this emergency" until the first
Monday in April next and one month af-
ter a regular session of the Legislature
shall have adjourned.
The railroads intend to go into the
courts and fight the new law on this
ground. and have announced that they
will carry the matter to the supreme
court of the United States. They will
contend that no emergency exists, and
that if it did exist the new law should
have been made operative at once. The
railroads will also contend that the title
is not broad enough to cover it's pur-
poses.
