THEIR WORK CRITICISED
Some Say Mr.. Branagan's Men
Only Made a Bluff.
QUESTION OF PAYMENT
The Mayor to Announce His Standing
Committees at This Evenings Sss-
sion Of the Council-Several
Official Bonds Filed.

A meeting Of the finance committee
ming, the committee consisting of AL
dermen Macarthur, Smith and Kelly.
Various bills were audited and pay rolls
allowed. There was an extended dis
cussion as to what should be done with
the respective bills of the street forces.
Some expressed the view that the best
thing was to pay all the men who had
actually worked. whether they had been
hired by Cotter or by Branagan. 1t was
argued that the men ought not to lose
their pay because lawyers and politi-
clans might disagree as to who was
rightfully their boss, and if they really
worked they should be paid for it. 1t
was argued on the other hand that the
men hired by Branagan had been noti-
fled by the mayor not to work and lad
been told by him that if they did work
they would not be paid by the city. 1t
was also argued that the men engaged
by Branagan only made a bluff at
working and really did nothing fer the
city. 1t was stated that the men mere
ly dumped sand in the street one day
and carted it away again the next day.
This is denied by Captain Branagan
and the men who worked with him.
The sense of the majority of the COM
mittee seemed to be that the best way
to settle the late dispute is to pay all
the men who actually worked. 1t is
probable that this matter will be dis
cussed at some length at the council
meeting tonight.
At to-nights council meeting it is ex-
pected that the mayor will announce
his standing committees for the year.
| 1t is customary to appoint these COM
| mittees at the first meeting of the
council for the municipal year. but ow-
| ing to the failure or refusal of the al
| dermen to confirm the mayors appoint
(! ees, the mayor held back the appoint
| ing of the committees, thus blocking
| the city's business until such time as
| the appointments should be confirmed.
| The appointments have now been con-
firmed and so the committees will in all
probability be named at to-night's s
meeting. 1t is also expected that ac-
| ton will be taken tonight on the re-
| quest of the B., A. & p. railroad for a
| franchise for a spur to be built from it's
present tracks to the Moonlight mine,
so that ore can be shipped from that
mine to the smelters at Anaconda. The
aldermen met a few nights ago and
! looked over the ground, most of the al
| dermen expressing the view at that
time that the right of way asked for
could not possibly interfere with any
rights of the city or of any citizens
| 1t is not known whether or not the
mayor proposes to present any addi-
tional names for confirmation tonight

TEN YEARS IN THE PEN
Sentence Passed on Neary, Con-
,victed of Manslaughter.
HE RECEIVES THE LIMIT
He Is Only % and With Good Behavior
He Will Be Free Man Again Be-
fore He Is 3O-Mr. Cot
ter's Earnest Plea.

James j. Neary the young man who
was found guilty of manslaughter for
the killing of Alexander Murray on the
first of January at the chicken fight
at the Boulevard saloon, was yesterday
sentenced to 10 years in the peniten-
tiary by Judge Clancy who imposed the
maximum punishment provided for
manslaughter. Neary is only % years
of age, and with good behavior will
complete his sentence before he is 80.
Neary came into court yesterday
morning to receive his sentence, look
ing well and clean shaven, his boyish
mustache having been sacrificed. The
court informed him that the time had
arrived for passing sentence on him,
and then 5briefiy reviewed the case and
concluded by asking him If he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced. Neary had moth
ing to say, but his lawyer Mr.. Cot
ter, did, and he made plea to the
court for leniency and justice temper
| ed with mercy He said Neary who
was a very young man, mere boy
in years, had been charged with MUIR
der in the first degree, of which he GER
tainly was not guilty. The jury also
said he was not guilty of murder in the
second degree when they convicted him
of manslaughter. Justice tempered
with mercy is the most effective JUS
tice, said Mr.. Cotter. If the defend
ant committed the crime of which he
was convicted, the evidence showed
that he certainly acted under consider.
able provocation. A big and powerful
man, in an ugly mood, had struck him
in the face; witness for the state
testified that after that insult and IN
jury Neary said he was going to lei
the matter drop, and went into the sa
loon with the witness, Jennings, to
have a drink, and he was again as
saulted by. Murray. The evidence also
showed that nearly every one in the sa-
loon was under the influence of liquor
and that the defendant was intoxicat-
ed In view of that, the defendants
age, and all the conditions surrounding
the affair, Mr.. Gotten thought the courl
should let his client off with ligh'
sentence.
County Attorney Connolly in reply
stated that after he had heard the evl
dence at the coroner's inquest he die
not think that the defendant was guilt,
of a higher crime than manslaughter
but to protect the interest of the state
and following the usual custom o
prosecutions, he filed an information
charging murder in the first degree
He considered Neary very fortunate
that the law looked with leniency upor

theory of the case was, and it wa:
borne out by the testimony of reliable
witnesses, that after Murray hat

struck Neary the latter followed him
into the saloon while in a state of ex-
citement and angry passion and bru-
tally stabbed and killed him. If the
testimony of the man Jennings was cor
rect, said the county attorney, Neary
was cool and collected when he enter
ed the saloon and his crime was moth
ing less than murder in the first de-
gree. Mr.. Connolly, however, did not
believe that theory of the case. Still
he did not believe that the punishment
provided for manslaughter fitted the
crime and as prosecuting attorney he
would ask the court to impose the
maximum punishment.
Mr.. Cotter added to his previous plea
and contended that the state had really
failed to prove that Neary had knife
in his hand, or that he killed Murray,
and said that as far as the evidence
showed any one of four or five other
men might have done it.
In answer to all that" said Judge
Clancy, II have only to say that the
jury sat and heard all the testimony,
evidently weighed it carefully and fully
considered it, and, I believe, looked at
every phase of the case. I think the
defendant got off remarkably well.
TWenty-one years is supposed to be the
age OF discretion in a man and he was
2S 1t is enough to have pity and
sympathy for the frailties of human
nature. but you can go too far in that.
With good behavior the defendant will
get out in about six years and half, and
/ will therefore give him the maximum
punishment"
Sentence was then formally passed
and Neary was taken back to jail, and
/ his attorney gave notice of his inten-
tion to move for new trial, and was
given 80 days in which to prepare bill
of exceptions.

That 8 Friend Hal Taken
Thorn for safe Keping.

William Thornton, gsntIeman who
arrived from England a few days ago,
was in a great state fos a while yes
terday morning. He ttpught he had
been robbed Of money ind valuables
amounting altogether to, about $780,
and while the investigation was In
progress he made things Ayely around
police headquarters. but fortunately for
him the outcome proved that he had
jumped at conclusions too quickly and
that his agitation had all been uncall-
ed for. 1t turned out friend had ta-
ken his money and valuable chattels
away from him to prevent happening
exactly what Thornton thought had
happened.
Thornton put in an appearance at
headquarters yesterday morning in a.
highly excited frame Of mind. He
talked fast. for he had good deal
to say, and there was no time to be
lost. The burden of his explanation
Of the situation in which he found him
self was that he had come to Butte
direct from England to represent En-
glish capital in some mining matters.
He had when he arrived here Bank of
England notes to the amount Of $1,000,
a gold watch worth $3.50 and a gold pen
worth $40 Monday evening he went
out TO see the Town anu uuIlHS eAo
evening had imbibed little too freely.
When he woke UP yesterday morning
he discovered that he was minus his
bank notes, his watch and gold pen.
He was sure he had been robbed and
| had come to ask the police for their
| assistance.
| Detective Murphy, to whom Thorn
| ton appealed, concluded that he had
fallen in with some of the grafters, who
| infest the band lands, and had been
relieved of his burden of wealth, and
accordingly questioned him as to what
places he had visited while doing the
town. From his account of the loca-
| ton of the place and his description of
| the woman he was satisfied the per-
son he wanted was big Eva" the for
mer mistress of Murderer Joe Shafer,
and went at once to arrest her. While

/ Thornton took his letter of identifica-

made himself known and requested that
| il any one put in an appearance ana
asked to have Bank of England notes

| lice be notified.
big Eva was taken to Jail and
| searched, but none of the property was
found on her, and Detective Murphy
was about to start in on new tack
when a friend of Thornton's arrived
and cleared up the mystery. He said
| that when Thornton got full Monday
| evening he had taken his money and

would get robbed. Detective Murphy
