THE SANITY Of LARK|N
Under Investigation Before Re-
ceiver Fl. N. Blake.
HAD SOME QUEER TRAITS
He Acted Strangely for Long Time
Before He Was Adiudged Insane.
Absent -Minded-Did Not Rec
ognize His Friends.

Examiner H. N. Blake arrived in
Butte yesterday from Helena and in the
afternoon began taking testimony in the
case of the Butte X Boston Mining
company against john T. Forbis and
the Old Colony Trust company. The
action was brought originally for
partition of the Trlmway and Sno-
homish lode claims, but Richard Wat
son, as guardian Of James Larkin: T..
Aug. Henze, as administrator Of the
estate, and Clara A. IIarkin. as the only
child and heir of James Larkin, de-
ceased, interviewed 10 recover possess
sion of a half Interest in the Snohomish
and two-thirds in the Tramway. on
the ground that the Butte G. Boston Sc
cured the property from Larllin while
he was insane, the testimony yesterday
being in support O. the complaint of
the interVenOrS.
Larkin sold his interest in the prop
erty to the Butte & Boston on May 4,
1898. About a year later he became in
sane, but was kept at private hospital
in Butte until Jan. d, 1898, when he was
sent to the asylum.
al lllt ltdlllS StNltl tlsiS d. MI
Hatton. Clayberg & coIbett and C. 4.
Leonard appeared as attorneys for the
intervenors and Forbis & Evans and
Howell & Harney for the defendants.
Mrs Louise Hesse Of California, for
merly the Wife of James Larllin, was
the first witness, and testified that
Clara A. Larkin was the only child of
decedent. Mrs. Hesse said she married
Larkin in 1870 and he left her in Idaho
in 1875 and she got Il divorce from him
and went back to California.
Michael O'Connors testified that he
had known Larkin for years prior to the
time he became insane and said he had
acted queer for a long time Larkin
once employed the witness and a man
named Nicholas YecII to dig over lot
in the southern part of the city in
search of treasures which he claimed
William Fritz had buried there. O'Con-
nors said Larkin was subject to violent
fits of anger: that he was absent mind
ed and had a habit of breaking off a
conversation suddenly and walk away.
Michael Kennedy testified that he had
known Larl6in well and that he talked
incoherently. The witness said he often
met Larkin on the streets and spoke
to him and Larkin would walk up to
him. stare in his face and then walk
away without saying a word.
Timothy Sullivan said he had known
Larkin for many years, but had avoid
ed him since 1885 because of an affair
which occurred in German gulch that
year. An old man was shot and killed
in a water right dispute and there was
a very general BELIEF that Larkin did
the killing, although another man was
tried for the crime and acquitted. Sui
lvan said that one day about year
before Larkin became insane he came
up from the race track in hack. he
had a woman with him and he was tell
ing her about Jim Tuohy having buried
$50 900 in a sand bank. Sullivan
thought Larkin was silly.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The mollusk is its own architect, and
the shell grows as the fish inside grows,
being never too small 1t also bear it's
age upon its back, for on its shell are
successive layers, overlapping one an
other, technically termed Shots" and
each one marks years growth. Up
to the time of its maturity-that is,
when four years of age-the shots are
regular and successive; but after that
time they become irregular, and are
piled upon one another, so that the shell
becomes bulky and thickened.
Fossil oysters have been found with
shells nine inches thick whence they
would be judged to be 800 years old. One
to two million oysters are produced
from a single parent, and their scarcity
is accounted for by the fact that man
is not the only oyster-eating animal.

THE ONE-EYED SMASH.
A Scene From the Thrilling Drama, "a
Bucket of Blood"


There was an amateur production of
the crazy scene in the operatta The
One-Eyed Swash, or the Bucket of
Blood" last evening in the annex of
the Pullman lodging house in West
Galena street Carrie Arnold. an in
cumbrance on society, tuned herself up
to the bowling key and went at it with
vim. She entered the house through
a convenient window and made a large
hole in the pane and fell on a center
table, whose legs flew up and struck
her in the left eye. Carrie regarded
the blow as a direct assault on her dig
nifty and forthwith she flew at the
PROSTATE table. The large China Gus
pidor rolled over towards the door, and
thinking that it was beating retreat,
she brought it to a shattering stand
still by striking it with q large bronz-
ed lamp. In its flight the lamp tipped
the screen over, and in the fall it col
lided with the stovepipe, a joint of
which tumbled down on Carries dis
heveled coiffure, and then there was
trouble. Carrie picked up the pipe. and
in the attempt to fire it through the
mirror in the dresser, it struck the
chandelier and down came a lamp
filled with oil. This was the first time
Carrie was ever baptized. She pro-
tested SO vigorously that Officer McGil-
lick went to the assistance of the fur
niture and induced the girl to accom-
pany him to the city Jail. She carried
with her all of that penetrating aroma
so characteristic of 10 proof crystal re-
fined coal oil. She submitted to
charge of disturbance

THE Sabbath day has come and gon'

THE Sabbath day has come and gone
again and a new week of labor is be-
fore each of us. Do we feel refreshed
from this day of rest, or do we go into
our labor more tired and more depress-
ed than when we left it on Saturday?
If we do, the day has been q failure to
US. The day of rest ought to be q
day to fill US with higher aspirations
and higher sympathies, that would
gladden. the week of toll. Here is q
fine sentiment from Henry Giles that
will nerve the muscles for better work:
"Man must work. That is certain as
the sun. But he may work grudgingly
or he may work gracefully; he may
work as q man or he may work as q
machine. He cannot always choose his
work, but he can do it in generous
temper, and with an up-looking heart.
There is no work go rude that he may
not exalt it; there is no work 80 impas-
sive that he may not breathe q soul into
it; there is no work so dull that he may
not enliven it, And here is another
good thought to carry US through the
week, that is copied from an exchanges:
''Man's first foe is himself. Until this
foe is conquered no one can expect to
be very successful in conquering any
enemy that comes to him from without.
The internal foe is always present
with us. and we have, consequently,
ample opportunity for practicing the
art of self-conquest. Notwithstanding
all the detraction and defamation
which the name of Oliver Crom well
suffered, it was no less a man than
John Milton that said of him: He was
q soldier disciplined to perfection in a
knowledge of himself. He had either
extinguished or by habit learned to
subdue the whole host of vain hopes,
fears and passions which iufest the
soul. He first acquired the govern
ment OF himself, so that, on the first
day he took the field against the exter-
nal enemy, he was q veteraniin arms

JERRY SIMPSON Is SICK.
Kansas Statesman Has Been
Search of Health In Missouri.

Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson ha.
| been at Excelsior Springs for his
health and a Kansas City paper has the
following to say OF him:
When Mr.. Simpson arrived at the
hotel two weeks ago he registered af
follows: Jerry Simpson, Wichita. >
The news reached the parlor, which
adjoins the Office, and several femme
guests hustled out to look at the sigma
ture.
"Oh," giggled one of them, address
ing the clerk, 81 wonder if he wears
socks?"
Mr.. Simpson was standing near by
and overheard the remark. The wo-
men all laughed at this well worn wit
ticism, but they stopped suddenly when
Jerry quietly said to the clerk: 81
wonder if they wear stockings?" The
women then fled to the psrlor and their
comments on the Kansas man were not
very fatteripg,
Jerry Simpson is now the editor of a
paper in Wichita. This paper is one
of politics and is called Jerry Simpson's
Bayonet. He uses it to prod his politi-
cal enemies. He likes to be an editor
man, he says, and he has better opin-
ion of newspaper men since he went in
to the business.
Simpson is very sick man, and has
cancelled a number of speech making
dates to go to Washington to have an
operation performed. His illness is
caused, he says, by many years of
drinking the alkai and gypsum waters
of his part of the country. He says
that after a man has drunk gypsu m
water for 20 years his machinery gets
eaten up. This beverage of the short
grass country will eat the bottom out
of a tin bucket in week and devour a
locomotive boiler in q relatively long
er time. There is not the sparkle to
Jerry's conversation that there was,
and he does not care to talk much
about politics. His step ia very slow
and weak also, and about the only ex-
ercise he takes Is q walk to his wash
woman's to deliver his laundry ana
to call for it again. And once he went
into the plunge and the populace
flocked to see him absolutely sOckless.
He Is getting gray very rapidly, and
his mustache is white. His face is

double glasses he wears have a tired
look. But WI hen he becomes interested
