YOUNG MAN GONE WRONG
William B. Thompson Has Dis
appeared.
HIS ACCOUNTS ARE SHORT
He Is Said to Have Spent $500 of the
Company's Money-Was Cutting
Wide Swath With the
Dem-Monde.

Great Falls, June 6.--Another man
has gone wrong. William B. Thompson,
good looking young man of excellent
address, who has been filing the posi-
ton Of assistant station agent at the
Great Falls & Canada railway, has left
town suddenly and the railway com
pany is said to be loser by about $500.
The shortage was discovered yesterday
morning, but was not reported to the
police until about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. and by that time the young
man had probably reached some point
in North Dakota, if, as the officials
think, he fed in that direction The
county attorney decided that it involv-
ed too much expense to bring him back,
and therefore he was allowed to con-
tinue. 1t is learned that the young
man had been frequently in the houses
of the bad row here pretty freely of
late and had spent considerable money
in that vicinity. Saturday evening he
made his last round, and it is reported
that he spent S75 in one place alone
The police also ascertained that he took
the early morning train for the East
on Sunday.
Thompson came to this city about the
first of the year from Lethbridge, bring
ing with him a good reputation. He
probably made too free with the COM
pany's money, and then finding that he
had gone further than he had intended
and being unable to replace the money
he fled He is about q years old and
there is little chance now of his being
caught

BUTTE NEWS.
SAM LITTLE BIG WASH
Convinced the County Attorney
He Was Not Guilty
OF AN ATTEMPT TO KILL
With Gestures and Broken English the
Big Flathead Indian Told
His Side or tie
Story.
OF AN ATTEMPT TO KILL

Sam Little Big Wash will not have
to answer for attempting to kill Peter
King. Sam juggles the queens English
in way that does not admit of his
making himself very clearly under
stood, but nevertheless he succeeded in
convincing the public prosecutor he
was not guilty Of so serious an offense,
so he is to be let down easy. Sam is
fine big specimen of the Flathead
Indian who lives on the Dump reser-
walton" south of town. Some days ago,
Peter King. an old prospector who
lives in a cabin on Timbered Butte,
near the reservation" procured Sans
arrest for first degree assault. He said
Sam came to his cabin beastly drunk
and started in to abuse him. When he
attempted to eject the Indian, Sam at
tackled him with a knife
Sam was before Justice Nichols yes
terday and by an elaborate system of
gestures illustrated such English as he
could command clear through to make
the court officers understand that he
wanted it understood that he went to
Kings cabin and without doing any
thing to provoke King, he was struck
in the mouth. He illustrated how he
got back by hitting King with his fist,
but denied using knife. The county
attorneys office had inquired into the
case and as the conclusion had been
reached that Sam did not attempt to do
King any great bodily harm, Deputy
Roy S. Alley, who has charge Of the
case, decided to reduce the charge to
assault in the third degree. The for
mer complaint was accordingly dis
missed and the new one filed. AS there
I,,1 ,fnrr i 1,,
Indian. his arraignment was put over
to this morning to give time to pro-
cure an interpreter.
The case of James OHara, the boy
who was arrested 10 days ago for steal
ing coal, was disposed of yesterday by
Judge Nichols imposing a fine of 81 on
the boy and suspending sentence dur
Ing good behavior.
1t appears that the boys father was
laid up and has been for some time, a
fact which had produced a sad state of
affairs in the family. There was no
fuel in the house, and the boy took
about rs cents worth from car in
the B. A. & P. yards. The Waterman
saw him do it and had him arrested.
BY some oversight he was kept in jail
10 days without getting a hearing. The
facts coming to the attention of Judge
Nichols, he had the boy brought be-
fore him yesterday. He frankly admit
ted what he had done, but said he did
not suppose he was doing anything
very wrong.
Judge Nichols gave him a fatherly
talk, admonishing him to keep out Of
trouble in the future and giving him
to understand his offense was not being
condoned, allowed him to go under sus-
pension of the sentence of the 81 fine
imposed. The lad thanked the judge
and promised not to get into trouble
again.

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
Important Decision at Washington
Regarding Its Construction.

Important Decision at Washington
Regarding Its Construction.
81 San Francisco, Oct 19-The local
1custom house was advised today by a
private telegram from Washington of
an important decision constructing the
provisions of the latest Chinese exclu-
sion act. The decision was from the
attorney general of the United States
and affirmS a recent ruling of Collector
Jackson, subsequently sustained by the
secretary of the treasury. Unusual i'm
portance attaches to the decision from
the fact that it was bitterly opposed by
the Chinese minister and members of
the Chinese embassy.
Some three weeks, ago twenty-five
Chinese sought a landing here under
certificates describing them as mer-
chants. They were denied a landing by
Collector Jackson because of the in
sufficiency of the certificates It was
held by the collector that, under section
of the exclusion act, it was neces-
sary to show not only that the appli-
Giants were merchants, but also the
character of their business and the
time and place where such business had
been followed.
The appeal to the attorney general
was unauthorized by the exclusion law.
1t was allowed simply as a matter of
international comfy, and because in
volving the construction of a treaty.
Although the attorney generals opin-
ion had no binding force upon the sec
rotary of the treasury, it was awaited
with great interest.
