The ProfeaafOu burglar.

The professional burglars belong to
a special class, stereotyped and exclu-
sive, forming q community OF their
own. These men take peculiar pride
in their profession" and a certain
amount of union exists between Its
members. If burglar is in trouble,
his friends will pay for the defense,
though they are not above betrSying
each other occasionally il circum-
stances require it. The receiver of
stolen goods works hand in hand with
.hese men, and without them the
profits of the robberies would be small.
1t is difficult to state as to how far the
love Of excitement and adventure in
stigates the burglar to crime; but that
II plays an important part, of this there
can be no doubt. To creep along house
tops in the dark, TO mount ladders and
lay wire traps for the upsetting OF in
mates. should they run out to give an
alarm, to screw up the doors of dress
ing-rooms and tamper with domestics,
nll these pursuits doubtless have their
fascination to the criminal mind

Snow PlOW Engine Ran Over
Otto Anderson.
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS
Accident Occurred Near Elk Park
Due to Victims Own
C~areleSSneSs.

The Great Northern train, which ar
rived in Butte at - o'clock last night,
brought in the mangled remains of Otto
Anderson, a laborer, who was run over
by the snow pillow and instantly killed in
a cut in the Elk Park country, early yes
terday morning.
Anderson was sent out from Butte a
few days ago to shovel snow in the drifts
near Elk Park station. With a number
of other snow shovelers he was at work
early yesterday morning. supplementing
the efforts of the snow pillow to clear the
track. The wind was blowing furiously
at the time and the air was SO filled with
snow that 1T was almost impossible for
the men at work to see each other. An
derson was bundle up to the eyes, n
his wraps, together with the roar of the
wind, which was blowing from the men
towards the snow pillow engine deadened
the sound of the approach of the engine,
and he was run into, knocked down n
killed by the pillow, before his comrades
knew that anything had happened.
The engineer, who kept a sharp lookout
ahead of the pillow, saw Anderson when
he was struck, out it was then too late
for action. He reversed the engine, but
the impetus carried it forward, and when
it came to a standstill it was found that

laborer. His head was crushed in and
death vas instantaneous.
The accident occurred just over the line
in Jefferson county,, and a telegram to
Boulder notifying the coroner of had
happened brought that official to the scene
of the fatality. A jury was empanelled and
an inquest held. The testimony ELECTED
no important facts other han those mar
rated, and the jury returned a verdict to
the effect that the deceased's death was
the result of his own carelessness in not
keeping out of the way of the snow pillow.
Anderson was about 40 years of age
and had been in the employ of the rail-
road company only a few weeks. Very
little is known concerning him. The
officials of the road are making an effort
to discover the whereabouts of his rela-
tiveS.
The remains are at the Sherman under
taking rooms, from which place, unless
the railroad officials succeed in finding
the deceased's relatives, they will be
buried tomorrow.

MRS. O'MALlEY
WAS %BELLlGERENT
SHE OBJECTED TO BEING SERVED
WITH A WRIT OF RESTITU-
TON AND TROUBLE
FOLLOWED.

Because Mrs. O'Malley of No. Al East
Woolman street failed to settle her rent
to the satisfaction of her landlord. pro-
c~eedingS were instituted against her
which resulted in the issuance of a writ
of rcStitution; because Constable Joe
Nolkner attempted to serve the writ on
Mrs. O'Malley a little battle was pre-
cipitated, which resulted in the firing Of
several shots, the hourishing of an ak,
much profanity, several arrests, but for
tunately no bloodshed.
The fracas occurred early this after
noon. Constable Volkner, armed with the
writ, went to the home Of Mrs. O'Malley
to serve the document and take posses
sion of the property. The doors were
barred and the constable was told by
those on the inside of the place to take
possession if he could. Bafiled by the re-
s%istance the constable left the place and
raised a posse of eight men. with whom
he once more repaired to the defiant cita-
del. He found that he could not effect an
entrance without breaking down the
door, and as he did not want to do this,
the constable and G. j. Weidman tried
to get in through a window. There they
saw several men on the inside. One man
fiourished an ak at the. officer and his
deputy. and Mrs. O'Malley opened active
hostilities by throwing a bottle at the
constable, which narrowly missed his
head. The constab bic then ordered Weld
man to fire into the ground. Weidman
did so. The constable also fired several
times, which he says was lone simply to
brighten the besieged. This demonstra-
ton had the desired effect, and the occu-
pants of the house capitulated.
One of the men inside had a gun and
of this the constable arrested
him. Nolkner then turned the premises
over to his posse and started to the coun-
ty Jail with his prisoner.
In the meantime Mrs. O'Malley went
out and complained of her treatment to
officer FOgarty, who arrived at the scene
of hostilities Immediately after the de-
parture of the constable. They cou'd not
explain their presence in the house to the
satisfaction of the officer, and lie arrested
three of them-Weidman, Henry Hopper
and Joe Burke, and took them to the
city bastile. In the meantime Mrs.
O'Malley returned and regained possess
sion of the premises, and late this after
noon was still holding the fort.
Mrs. O'Malley attempted to get a war;
rant issued on the charge of attempted
murder and while an armistice has been
declared for the time being the matter is
by nc means settled and remains practi-
cally as it was before the constable start
ed out to serve the writ.

It Causes Some Speculation
Among Railroad Men.
MAY MEAN A UNION DEPOT
Oregon Short Line Engines Coming
About the Northern Paci.
flc Double Service

President j. j. Hill, the Jay Gould of
the Great Northern Railroad company,
whose tour of the west is exciting some
speculation, will not arrive in Butte to-
day. His departure from Seattle has
been delayed for a day or two, and the
local officials of his line say he will be
here later this week, probably Friday OF
Saturday.
Railroad men attach some significance
to the visit of the great magnate to the
mining metropolis of the northwest. A
prominent railroad official stated to an
Inter Mountain reporter this morning
that. in his opinion, Mr.. Hills coming
was for the purpose of considering the
feasibility Of the erection of a central
union depot, such as is enjoyed in many
cities of much less Importance as a rail
road center and in point Of population
than Butte, and which has been agitated,
systematically, more or less, tor the past
ten years.
Mr.. Hill is said to have a proper appre-
citation of Butte as a business center, and
has seriously considered the proposition
of a union depot for the city in the
past.
The official announcement of the inten-
ton of the Northern Pacific to inaugu-
rate its double train service between St.
Paul, Butte and Portland has not yet
been given out, but can De looked for
nearly any day. Indications are that the
recent conference of President Mcllen and
Vice President Lamont in Washington
with the poStOfice authorities had much
to do with the decision Of the
to put on the new service. The fast
through train of the Great Northern. with
its rapid time from st. Paul to the coast,
is said to have been a decided
to the Northern Pacific general officers.
They have kept careful watch on it all
along the line. A delay in it's arrival at
any point reached by the agents of the
Northern Pacific was promptly hulle-
tined. After much dcliberation it was
decided to put on the double service. n
incidentally, to shorten the time of the
run between Butte and st. Paul by seven
hours. The new service will be greatly
appreciated by the Butte patrons of the
road.
Eight of the ~ten-wheel engines now
being built for the Oregon Short Line
by the Cook works at Patterson, N. j.,
will leave hat place for the west at
the end of the week. They will be
put into immediate service upon their ar
rival.
