REFUSED TO Be |NSULTED
Countryman Takes Exception
to Waitress Speech.
WOULDN'T STAND FOR II
Bacon And, In the Country" Was Just E
Trifie Too Deep for Him, and He
Left the Restaurant in
Huff

The vernacular of the FLASHER" is all
right in it's place. but when a few lines
of it break through the panels of the
kitchen door and lodge in the ear of
the customer it is all wrong. A lit
erary gem from the grill of a restau-
rant fell on unappreciative ears yester-
day and then there was a scene
A young man came in from the coun-
try to hear the Easter music and in
cidentally to see what Butte looks like
anyway. He went into a restaurant
when he got hungry after listening to
the Salvation army and Hi Henry's
band, and the first thing he picked up
was the big, cumbersome. misleading
bill of fare He read it and reread it.
especially did he ponder over those al
legged French compositions, which are
calculated to give a high-priced air to
the surroundings. The girl with the
white bib and long pencil in her top
knot waited by his side. She placed a
goblet of water and the other "fringes"
in front of him and continued to wait
for his order.
The youth looked up at her and ask
ed: BE you a-goin' to eat here, too?"
The chic little tdamsel courteously re-
piled in the negative, and then asked
him what he would have to eat
Il don't want half of this what's on
the programme. But if you want to
you kin fetch me some bacon and eggs
cooked together in one skillet"
The white apron disappeared through
the swinging doors. and while those
screens vet tapped back and forth
noiselessly these notes from Wagner
passed out into the dining room:
Bacon and, in the country"
The young man heard every word
distinctly, and he was wroth. He put
the napkin in his inside pocket and
stalked up to the cashiers desk.
Say, I'll be gol darned if l KEN in
here to be made a fool of. I told that
lady what I wanted to eat and she ran
out into the next room and yelled TO
somebody that she wanted to fix up
some kind of a josh on man from the
country. I've ct in more big boarding

The Miner pretends to be fearful that
in case the Standard Oil company
should decide to purchase mining prop
critics in Montana, and in case any of
the local companies should decide to
sell to it, and in case terms are agreed
on, that the Standard Oil company
might ask the city for a franchise to
run its ore cars through the streets of
Butte. No one will seriously believe
such a contingency to be even possible
But suppose all these things come to
pass and that the Standard Oil compa-
ny, which has not yet acquired dol
lars worth of property in these parts
Should at some future time try to get
a franchise to run a railroad through
Butte. Couldn't it ask this of a repub-
lican city council with even more show
than of democratic city council? In
the former case, all it would have to
do would be to give the aldermen wine
supper. AT least that is all that the
Butte street railroad company has had

Accidental shooting.

An accidental shooting, in
which an inmate of the square
top" bagnio was again the victim,
occurred shortly after midnight
last night. The woman, who is
known as Bessie, was playfully
scuffiing for the possession of a
pistol with John Cook when the
weapon was discharged, the bullet
passing through both thighs, just
grazing the bone.
The unfortunate woman was at
once placed under a surgeons care
and is resting we'll. The wound
is not considered dangerous.
Cook at once surrendered to
Deputy Booker and this morning
gave bond in the sum of 500 for
his appearance before Commission
er Bradford next Monday.

DAUGHTERS OF coNEEDERACY.
The Ors.nI..,ron of Camp Perfected
In Ardmore.

IN AEumotCs
Eleven ladies, in whose bosom
burned a spark of devotion to the
lost cause" met Monday afternoon
at the residence of Mrs. j. n.
Worthy on Broadway, and there
organized a society to be known as
Chickasaw Camp No. =, Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy. The meet
ing we are informed was a very in
teresting one and the future of the
camp was looked at through many
intervening meshes. The objects
of the camp, when discussed,
brought out many meritOrious
points aid some of the older daugh-
ters presented vividly the scenes
which years ago have passed into
history.
1t was decided that before form
ing themselves into committees on
various matters the camp would
accept members for one or two more
meetings. By so doing the work
would not become so arduous on
any one.
The officers elected for the pres
ent term are: Mrs. J. n. Worthy,
president; Mrs. b. w. Carter, vice
president; Mrs. VIM. Grimm, sec
retary; Mrs. P. A. Laughlin, treas
urer; Mrs. NJ. l.. Garrett, cores
ponding secretary.
Funds to meet the present needs
of the camp were raised among
those present and the requisite
amount to secure a charter for the
organization sent out.
For the present the date of meet
lngs will be second and fourth
Wednesday afternoons in each
month.
The following ladies were present
at the organization of the camp:
Mesdames. Benz. w. Carter, Eli
zabeth b. Chastine, Mary J. Craw-
ford, Blanche Garrett. Rosalie r.
Grimm, p. A. Laughlin, Lula l..
Morgan, Dora Russell Nisbett, j.

Crime of Choctaw Indian.

Paris, Tex. April 17.-Solo-
mon Hotema, a Choctaw Indian
who lives near Grant, a station 90
miles north of Paris on the Frisco
railway, is charged with killing a
woman and two men Friday. He
is in jail at Anuers
Hotema is a prominent man in
his country, having served as
S )eaker Of the Choctaw house, as
member of the senate, as district
Judge and as district attorney.
He was well educated by his gov.
ernment at Roanoke college, at
Salem, Va, some time more than
20 years ago, and since that time
has taken a leading part in the
government of his country.
Hotema stands high in the esti-
nation of those who know him in
Texas and Arkansas. Recently he
lost a child, which he firmly be-
lieved was the victim of witches.
He announced his purpose to rid
the nation of witches, as he be-
lieved it was a duty man owed
humanity to stamp it out wherever
found, as it was hereditary unto
the tenth generation.
Hotema was at the railroad
station at Grant en- route to Paris
when he was arrested. The kill
ing has been the topic of much
conversation here on account of
the alleged motive which prompt
ed it, should it be proven on pre-
liminary hearing that Hotema is
