TAKING AN EARLY START
Winter Beginning Much Sooner
Than Usual.
IT'S HARD ON THE POOR
Not Enough Snow Yet for Good Sleigh
ing-Bicycle Season Is Very Short
This Year-The Ground Hog
Has Crawled In.

Winter seems to be setting in earlier
than usual this year. AS rule winter
in Butte does not start until after the
Fourth of July, but it seems to have
already started in. This is particularly
unfortunate inasmuch as Butte has
only had about a week or 10 days of
summer. 1t showed again yesterday.
enough, however, as yet for good
sleighing, but there is enough to put
an end to the bicycle season, which
has been shorter than ever this year.
The early winter will be especially hard
on the poor, who have as yet scarcely
been able to pay their last winters
coal bills, and now to be obliged to
contract additional bills for the new
winter just coming on is exceedingly
discouraging
The ground hog has gone into winter
quarters again, after a brief but I'M
enjoyable sojourn on the dull face OF
the earth. He has thrown up the
sponge in abject disgust and dispair.
If he can find an underground passage
way his next appearance on earth will
be up somewhere near Dawson City,
where they are planting watermelon
seeds and riding bicycles. There is
nothing in or near Butte for the ground
hog.
Yesterday another cold norther set
in and it showed as it did in Fehru-
airy. Men wore heavy coats and over
shoes and enjoyed hot fires. In some
places the Tom and Jerry" sign re-
appeared. The thermometer sulked
and positively refused to ante up.
There was cold wind that sent shvers
up everybody's back. Loads of coal
and wood went in every direction and
those delicate fruits and vegetables in
green grocery markets looked sadly
defiant.
The citizens of Butte have lost all
hopes of warm weather and are lay
ing in their winter fuel and otherwise
preparing for a hard winter The sun
has lost his power. The moon is as
warm as he. The moon is full these
nights, while the sun continues to be
sober and sullen and cold. Gentle
spring" doesn't apply to the season
just past.

PAXSON HAS RETURNED.
He Saw Five Weeks of Grim War in the
Philippines.


R. H. Paxson, chief hospital steward
Of the LIST Montana, recently discharged,
| arrived home yesterday after a years
absence from Butte. Mr.. PaNson is in
the best of health and but for having
grown a full beard has changed but
slightly in appearance.
Mr. Paxson is home as the result of
having applied for his discharge last
December, when it looked very little
as though there would be any fight
ing. AS the war for which he volun-
teered was over and he did not feel he
could afford to remain away from his
family and his business to be peace
soldier, he sent in his application for
discharge. 1t reached him early in
March and on the 18th of the month
he sailed for home. In the meantime
fighting began and he saw five weeks
Of grim war, which furnished him a
great fund of interesting recollectons.
Mr.. PaNson arrived last evening and
was welcomed home by many old
friends most heartily. When seen last
| evening his first concern was for the
relatives and friends of the soldiers of
the regiment who are wounded. Their
condition was the first thing he men,
toned.
"On the day left" said he, Il went
through the first reserve hospital, where
all of our wounded are cared for, and
| said goodbye to each one personally. l
want to reassure all their friends al
home and let them know that every
one of our wounded who were in the
hospital on March II are doing finely
and Will recover. Colonel Wallace was
| SO far recovered that he was to return
| to the front the following day and Cap
| tain Hill was rapidly cOnvalescing."
Another thing Mr.. PaXson mentioned
| particularly was the manner in which
| the troops are cared for.
The men in the hospitals get every
care they could get at home, barring
| the little affectionate attentions of the
home. There is nothing in the way of
proper food, medicines, surgical atten-
| ton and nursing that is wanting and
the relatives and friends of the boys
| can feel assured they could not be bet
| ter cared for. With regard to men
! in the field, l believe there was never
! an army so we'll fed. The rations are
| all of the best, the COmmissaries COM
petent and there is always an abund-
| ance of food. Refrigerated beef from
Australia is furnished twice a week and
| is the best meat | ever tasted. Every
| thing else is on par. There Will be no
| commission to investigate the Eighth
| army corps"
Mr.. PaxsOn was on the firing line dur
| ing the opening battle of CalOocan and
saw how the boys fought OF them he
| said:
Montana may feel very proud of her
| soldiers. Men could not face flying bull
| let's with greater bravery than they
did"

He WAS KINDLY TREATED
The Man of Many Wives Was
Acquitted.
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
An Intelligent Jury Let Him Go Free Al
though 1t Was Proved He Banged
Away at One Of His Wives
With a Bed Stat.

Charles Courtney, alias Sweet. alias
Swift, alias several other aliases, the
man with as many women claiming to
be his wife as he has names to give
them, was kindly treated by jury
in Justice Harrington's court yester-
day. He was before the court on a
charge of third degree assault on the
woman he married under the name of
Sweet. 1t was proven that he damned
away at the woman with a bed Stat,
but because she confessed that he miss
ed her the jury thought he was not
guilty of the charge of assault and
acquitted him.
Courtney is the man for whose scalp
several wives were looking a. couple
of weeks ago, and when arrested it
was supposed it was for bgamy, but
it appears there was no disposition to
push the bigamy charge and he went
to trial for assaulting one of his nu-
merous wives on the 18th of March.
The complaining wife, to whom he gave
the name of Bennett, is a woman
who has had something of a matrimo-
NAL experience herself, as she discov-
cred about six weeks ago that she had
one more husband than the law en-
titled her to. At that time she visited
the county attorneys office and inform
ed that official that she had married
Bennett, as Courtney was known to
her, under the belief that her former
husband was dead but he had sud-
denly come to life, and she wanted
to know what to do about it. Mr.. Con-
molly was compelled to inform her he
was no trance medium, and therefore
had no matrimonial advice to spare.
Acting on her own responsibility, she
decided to quit Courtney, and this was
what led to the alleged assault on the
18th of March.
At the time of the alleged assault
warrant was issued, but Courtney
was not apprehended till very recently
When arraigned on the old charge he
demanded a jury trial, which came
off yesterday. Mrs. Bennett testified
that after she had decided to quit the
defendant he came to her house to try
and induce her to come back and live
with him, but as her first husband had
turned up, she did not regard herself
as the defendants wife, and she re-

him. In the rumpus that ensued he
grabbed a bed Stat and struck at her.
She lodged and the blow missed her
and he ran out of the house. The de-
PENDANT admitted going to Mrs. Ben
nett's house to get her to come back
and live with him. He also admitted
that they had rowed, but denied strik-
ing the woman. The jury promptly
gave a verdict of acquittal. The wife
known as Mrs. Sweet was in the court
room during the trial and heard Court
ney tell about trying to get Mrs. Ben
nett to live with him after he had
gone through the marriage ceremony
with her (Mrs. Sweet on Jan. 5, as

A criminal proceeding out Of a civil
suit was begun in Justice Harrington's
court yesterday when a complaint was
filed charging third degree assault
against Joseph and f. Maffei and Jo-
seph Copper of Meadervlle. 1t APP
pears that Constable Joseph LazZari of
Meaderville took an assignment of the
wages of a man employed by one of the
Maffeis for a months pay. Subse-
Quently the money was garnisheed and
Maffei paid over the amount of the
garnishment to the creditor. Then
Lazzari sued Maffei for the full months
wages. LaZzari met the three defend
ants in a saloon a night or two ago,
and they had words over the civil suit
resulting in the three assaulting him.
A warrant for the arrest Of the three
men was issued.
Justice Harrington issued a warrant
for one Roy Wells, charging him with
Vagrancy.
Attorney Dickson appeared before
Justice Harrington yesterday and made
a motion to dismiss the proceedings in
which the court is asked to put c. F.
Hawkes. under bonds to keep the peace
on the ground that no malicious in
tent was alleged in the complaint. The
motion was contested by Chief Deputy
County Attorney Kelly, and was over
ruled. The hearing went over to next
Thursday.

You have about complated the job1
Gentlemen Of the North, of the East,

to have somebody to skin, and you will
turn on each other, and then possible
the Negro will get his just deserts.
Laughter
1t is well to stop and consider;
you can not always keep a free man
down. When he is once made free, it
will be difficult to ever enslave him
again, either physically or intellectual
ly. Physical slavery IS thing nobody
wants. The most ignorant of our
Southern sand lappers out in the woods
do not want actual slavery again; but
there is a slavery that is even worse
than manual slavery-the slavery of
the mind, the beclouded intellect. 1t
is there that we ask you to help lift the
curtain of darkness, the curtain of
ignorance, the curtain of vice that you
heIped to nail and foist upon us, to
help breoC the shackles, that we may
look fourth in the monday of life, in
the tide of proaress and beauty, that
we may go up the hill with you, that
we may leave the miasmatic valley of
vice and degradation and climb to the
top of them cunt where we can breathe
Gods pure air as American citizens.
Recognize your citizen at home, rec
! ognize those at your door, give them
the encouragement, give item the
rights that they are justly entitled to-,
and then take hold Of the people Of
Cuba and help establish stable and
fixed government among them: take
hold of the Porto Ricans, establish the
government there that wisdom predi-
Gated, which justice may dictate. Take
hold of the Philippine Islands, take
hold of the Hawaiian Islands, there let
the Christian civilization go out and
magnify and make happy those poor,
half-civilized people; and then the
black man, the white man-yes, all the
ritf-raff of the earth that are coming
to our shores--wlll rejoice with you in
that we have done Gods service and
done that which will elevate us in the
eyes of the world. Prolonged ap-
