PERELSON BOUND OVER.
He Is Accused of Receiving
Stolen Property.
A PRELIMINARY HEARING
Brass Journal Boxes We're Stolen From
the Yards of the Great North
ern = Boys Testified
Against Him.

Morris Perelson. manager of the
Blumpkin Hide and Junk company, was
held to the district court for trial for
receiving stolen property, knowing it
to have been stolen, at the conclusion
of his preliminary hearing, which was
held before Justice Smith of South
Butte yesterday afternoon.
On Feb. rs some brass journal boxes
We're stolen by boys from the yards of
the Great Northern railroad. The cast
ings were not worth more than 81 or S..
but owing to repeated annoyances the
company has been put ito by such petty
thievery which is encouraged by junk
dealers buying articles stolen from the
boys who do the stealing, it was de-
cided to try and remedy the evil by
making an example. A detective was
put to work, who soon found the boys
who did the stealing, and an informa-
ton procured from them on
which Perelson was arrested
The hearing came up yesterday
afternoon before Justice Smith,
Deputy County Attorney Roy S. Alley
appearing for the prosecution and At
torneys Wines & Wines for the de-
Tense.
The four boys who stole the castings
We're called to testify. They We're
Charles and Edward Gallagher, Henry
Pierson and Dan Sullivan. They test-
fled that they stole the castings on the
Goth of February and on the 27th took
them to Perelson and offered them for
sale. He purchased them. paying $1.5O
for the lot At the time they told him
they had taken the castings from the
Great Northern yards Charles Boul-
ware, boy who did not take part in the
theft. but went with the other boys to
sell the castings, corroborated the state
ment that Perelson had been told the
castings had been taken from the Great
Northern yards.
superintendent Burns told of the theft
and said that after learning the castings
had been sold to Perelson he went to
see the defendant, who at that time de-
MED knowing anything about them.
Subsequently it was learned that they
had already been shipped away.
After further testimony of little i'm
portance by witnesses for the state the
states case was closed. Perelson's at
torneys announced they would put in no
defense and Judge Smith made an order
binding the defendant over in ST. 500
bonds which We're furnished.

One of Them May Result Fatally for the
Victim, NfS 70


Two mining accidents were reported
yesterday. one of which may result ia
tally for the injured. In both cases the ac-
cdent was a fall Of ground. James Ma
guire, a miner employed at the Colusa
Parrot mine. is the unfortunate who may
not survive his injuries. Mcguire was
working on the Sill floor on the 1,400 foot
level, when a fall of rock came from the
back in an apparently good piece of
ground. Mcguire was partially buried
but was soon removed to the surface and
taken to the St James hospital, where it
was found his injuries were of grave
nature. They consist of a compound frac-
ture of the left ankle, bad bruises about
the back and it is feared internal injuries.
DIR. Alexander, who attended him, stated
last evening that Maguires condition is
critical, and that If, as the symptoms in
dictated. he had been internally hurt, he
might not recover.
Charles Schwartz was injured by fall
OF ground in the Berkely under much the
same circumstances as Mcguire received
his hurts. A piece of ground came down,
catching him in the back while in a
stopping position, but Fortunately the
weight was not great and he escaped with
a confused back which will lay him up
for but a short time. He was taken to
Murray & Freund's hospital.

THE NEW ROAD LAW.
1t Has Put the County Commissioners in
Ouandary.

1t Has Put the County commissioners III
a Ouandary.
The new road law passed by the late
legislature. and which went into effect
last Friday. has put the county COM
missioners intoa quandary, and they APP
pealed to County Attorney Connolly
yesterday for an opinion as to what
they should do. The law says the COM
missioners must lay the county off into
road districts before next Friday, the
10th, and that they must appoint su-
pervsor for each district, who shall
hold Office until his successor is elect
ed. The commissioners say there Is
not more than enough work for one
supervisor in Silver Bow county and
that there is not enough money coming
into the road fund to carry on the eX-
penses of a number Of districts and
supervisors. such as are evidently con-
templated by the law. To keep the
county all under one district would evil
IDENTIFY be contrary to the intent of the
law, which provides for but one polling
place for each district and could there
fore accommodate but a very small
fraction of the voters of the county.
The new road law takes the supervis-
ion of roads entirely out of the hands Of
of the county surveyor and repeats the
old law almost entirely.
