One Troop cf Ca valry

A troop of cavalry from Fort Meyer probably will assist in the ceremonies at the grave, but with this exception the demonstration will be entirely naval. The escort will consist entirely of marines and small body of blueiackets headed by the full marine band under Lieutenant Santle- man. The band will render appropriate music at the cemetery and the marines will fire volleys over the graves.
 ''Taps" probably will be sounded by burglars from the cavalry band at Fort Meyer
 The Texas, which brought the remains here, will go to Lamberts Point for coal and thence to Old Point to await orders, which, it is expected, will send her to join the North Atlantic squadron. Captain Sigsbee is expecting orders which will de- tach him from the ship and transfer him to the bureau of intelligence.

A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN.
LOUIS S. COIN HAS MORE PRETTY
ROSES THAN ANYBODY.

Louis S. Cohn moved his stock of goods
from his old Main street stand into his
new block in West Broadway today and
the event has made the occasion for the
display of a little sociability. For some
time past Mr.. ooh has been the state
agent for a brand of cigars handled by
FRASER & Co. of Boston and the firm con-
cluded to recognize his services by pre-
senting him with a floral design. Today
was selected as the time for the delivery
of the offering. The presentation address
was made in the new store by Attorney
C. M. Parr of the firm of Campbell & Parr
and was appropriate to the occasion. The
recipient of the emblem was taken COM
pletely by surprise, but recovered in time
to gracefully acknowledge the compli-
ment.
The Offering was emblematic of the
horn of plenty" n was made of fra
grant roses of various colors, pinks, car
nations, evergreens and a dozen other
varieties of flowers fresh from the State
| Nursery company's hot houses in Helena.
The frame to which they were attached
stood about three and a half feet high.
The flowers were artistically arranged by
Miss Annie Zweifel.

A particularly brutal murder was
brought to light yesterday afternoon by
the finding of the dead body of a man
near the old city dump and east OF the
road that leads to Rocker.
There is some confusion regarding the
IDENTIFY of the dead man. Frank Strom-
berg SAYS tina he recognizes the remains
as those of a prospector whom ne mas
known three or four years. Mr.. strom-
berg formerly lived west OF MISSOURI
gulch and says the dead man and a part
ner have been prospecting the vicinity TOT
wears. that he has frequently seen them
going to and fro. Two years ago he was
introduced to the dead man but cannot
now remember his name or the name OF
his partner. His statement receives the
support of several others who are certain
that they have seen the man about town.
A man whose name was not learned drop
ped into the undertaking rooms last nlght
and after viewing the body sad that ne
knew the man well; that his name was
George Pearson, a blacksmith, who had
come to Butte only a few days g from
De Lamar, Nevada, where he had worked.

Friday night and Pearson told HIM that
he was dead broke and had had nothing
to eat; that he had not looked for work
because he was not in shape to do so.
Henry ]. Callahan who is engaged in
mining operations west of Mlssoula gulch
near the old city dump and who occupies
a cabin at that point, discovered the body
at the noon hour yesterday while coming
to town. The remains were lying IN a 1T
| tie gully about so yards east of the roac

that may furnish a valuable clue for the
police to work upon.
Fuller says that he heard of the muir

ton on his own hook. He says that he
encountered two school girls, daughters

ployed in the Colorado concentrator.
These little girls live at or near what is
known as the Road house, and in onver
sation with Fuller told him that they
We're near the railroad track shortly after
Z o'clock Saturday night and they heard
a on the road, which they knew
belonged to a neighbor who is a scav-
engereby trade. The wagon is generally
driven by Ted Boyle and a hired man
named Jim. AS the girls hear the wagon
every day they claim that they can read
lily distinguish it's peculiar rattle from
other vehicles. When they heard the
wagon Saturday night they saw Boyle's
two dogs running to meet it. They stated
that when the wagon was in the neigh
borhood of where the body was found
they heard it stop and then heard voices
raised in angry alteration. One Of the
girls said, in a matter-of-fact voice, Tied
and Jim are fighting again."
After the lapse of a few minutes the
girls heard the wagon start up once more
and proceed towards home, about half a
mile away.
Fuller pushed his investigation a little
further and asked Te Boyle's father
| where Ted was. The answer he got was
that Ted was laid up with a sore back,
the result of a 'boyish row. between
Ted and jim. Ted also had his face a
little mussed up in the row, but Fuller
was given to understand that it did not
amount to anything. He was also told
that rows between Jim INC Ted were of
frequent occurrence.
Fuller states that a story was told him
about a heavy team following Boyle's
team, out an investigation by him proved
this to be incorrect. Owing to this con-
fict he thought it right to report the
matter-to the police.
During the day hundreds Of people have
view the body, but no one was able to
identify the man. Many claimed to nave
seen the man around the streets, and Mr.
Fuller is inclined to think that he saw
him in a gambling house. He says tina,
the man was a stranger around Missoula
gulch and he is sure he never saw him
there. The story about his being a black.
smith and a new arrival in town is not
generally believed. One or two men from
Anaconda seem to recognize the descrip-

Another theory has been advanced
that the man was a p%rospector who haC
been out claim jumping and was met or
his return by some one interested in the

murdered.

Utah evidences the fact that he, claim
ant, was in 1889 conyited or that lie
pleaded guilty of the crime of unlawful
cohabitation Af1idavits and other
papers in my possession indicate that
ever since then he has been and is now
a polygamist.
IF this transcript and these afIida-
Wits and papers tell the truth, the
mem ber-eleet from Utah is, in my judg-
ment, ineligible to be member of this
house of representatives., both because
of the statutory disqualification of the

At the conclusion of Mr. Taylor's re-
marks, Mr.. MeRae Dem, Ark briefly
expressed his concurrence in the pro-
test of Mr.. Taylor. If the charges
hanging over the head of the repre-
sentative-clect were true, he said, his
being sworn in would be an assault
upon every American home If true,
he said, Mr.. Roberts was guilty of a
violation of the laws of the United
States and of Utah and the charges
should be investigated. If they were
proven, he said emphatically in con-
clusion, there should not be vote in
the house in favor of allowing him a
seat in this body.
