Some time yesterday morning a sneak
thief made the rounds of the dodgers
rooms at Mangan's hotel, 1902 Lacka-
wanna avenue, and carried off a guam
tity of booty, including n purse con-
tanning $50 belonging to Frank Simons;
n pair of trousers, belonging to James
Cavanaugh, and "A pair of gloves, the
property of John Skelly, the bartender.
A rusty-looking individual named
John Reilly, a Mt. Pocono ice cutter,
who came to the hotel Saturday and
departed yesterday, was suspected and
"A watch was set for him.
Early last evening one of the board
ers at the hotel deserted him stagger-
ing up Lackawanna avenue in COM
pany with another individual of some
what the same calibre in the matter
of general appearance. He was point
ed out to Patrolmen Tom Evans and
Jonathan Rodham and placed under
arrest
That the suspicion was well-founded
was proved by a search of his person
at the station house. The stolen trous-
ers, which were several sizes too small
for him, were found drawn on beneath
his own and the missing gloves were
discovered i'm a pocket of the stolen
trousers. The money, however, was
not in his possession. He denied the
theft, but could not explain how he
came by the trousers and gloves. They
were given to him by friend, he said.
| 1t is thought Reily's companion may
have the money and a search was i'm
| mediatcly instituted for him. He had
not been discovered up to an early hour
this morning
Reilly was a lodger at the police sta
| tion one night last week. Sergeant
| Reese Jones says. He worked a few
| days for the Scranton Railway com
| pany as a shOveler during the blizzard
and had in his position an envelope
| showing that he had earned $5.91.
| Thirty cents was all he had about him
when arrested. He will be given a
hearing this morning.

helper. The train probably proceeded
half a mile before he was missed. The
first thing they discovered was a broken
lamp and one of his overshoes at the
curve. Witness went to the house where
he had been carried and asked him how
he got hurt The injured man told him
that he did not know. He said his father
lived in Colorado, but did not state in
hat town. He complained SO much of
the pain hat witness refrained from
questioning him.
Ben McManus, q switchman of the
b. A. & p, testified that he saw deceased
last when they pulled out of the yard at
the Mountain Con-, about half a mile
from where the accident occurred. De-
ceased was on the third or fourth car
and witness was on the end. When next
he saw deceased he was in a house near
the track. The cars Were not very slip
perry that night, not more so than usual.
Peter Durham, engineer for the B. A.
& P, testified that he was running the
engine of the train that ran over Knight.
He knew nothing OF the accident until
some time after it occurred. He did not
see Knight after he was hurt. He last
saw deceased on the second or third car
at the Mountain Con mine. At the place
where Knight was injured the train had
commenced to slow up. There was no
reason for the brakemen to manipulate
the brakes, as the witness had the train
fully under control with the air brakes
Randall Williams, fireman on the en-
CINE that was pulling the ore train, testi-
fed that the only time he saw Knight
was when they were loading at the Bell
mine.
At the inquest last night Henry Phil
lips and Joseph Treethy odd the story
Of finding the man. substantially as told
in yesterdays Inter Mountain. Joseph
} Williams testified hat he and Dan Nc
Allister were going to work when the
train crossed Pacific ST., just in front of
them. Az the train stopped a man rolled
out from under the car and McAllister
going up to him asked him how he got
there. The man replied: my God, don't
: ask me-" He complained of being cold
and McAllister went to a telephone and
called for help.
Herbert knight, a brother of deceased,
} stated that deceased was an neXperl-
enced railroad man and was "a years OF
: age. At noon Tuesday he last saw him
alive. Herbert could not tell his fathers
postoffice address. Although only 70
cents were found on Knights person af-
ter the accident, Herbert says that ne
had a 500 gold piece in his pocket at the
noon hour.

DEATH OF A. {. WHITE.

A. c. White died at his residence, No. II
East Silver street, last evening, from lung
and stomach disorders. He had been a suf-
ferer for the past IS months, and during
that time visited California, but as the
climate did not seem to benefit him he re-
turned to Butte several months ago for
the purpose of Strengthening up his affairs,
for he did not expect to live long. The
body was removed to Tachell's undertaking
rooms to be embalmed, and will be shipped
to Sacramento, Cal, tomorrow, for burial
at that place. The remains will be accom-
panied by F. T. Britton, who has charge
of Mr.. Whites business interests here.
Mr.. White was a native of Massachusetts
and went with his father to California in
the sos, and from there he went to Salt
Lake and then came to Butte 18 years ago
and has since resided here. For some time
he followed the business of carpenter and
builder, and about six years ago he opened
a hardware store, which he has conducted
up to the present time. He leaves a widow,
who is a resident of Sacramento, Cal. but
has no other immediate relatives. De-
ceased was a member of the Grand Army
but it is not known that he belonged to any
other organization.

Railroad Man,

The cOroner's Jury in the case of Ed
ward knight, the brakeman who was
fatally injured last Tuesday evening by
falling under the wheels of a B. A. & P.

his morning:
THAT the said Edward Knight, a
brakeman in the employ of the B. A. & P.
railway company, came to his death on
account of an accident on the tracks near
Pacific street from causes unknown to
this jury.
OF all the witnesses examined not one
saw Knight fall under the wheels and
the first intimation any one had that
anything was wrong was when the in
jured man cried out in his gon After
being carried to a nearby cottage he
said to one of the men that he did not

there was no one to uncouple the engine

was that Knight had slipped and fallen

between six and eight miles an hour at
the point where the accident occurred.

War Between Spain and France

A Paris correspondent has set the ru-
NOR afloat that war is possible between
Spain and France. Such an outcome is
hard to believe, because the two coun-
tries have been for years on unusually
intimate terms. You canno tell what
will happen between nations, but you can
tell what will happen when a dyspeptic
takes Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. His
health will improve. His appetite will
come back. His mouth will mot taste
badly in the morning. He will not be
subject to dizzy spells, and his head will
be clear. His disposition will be more
agreeable, and his bilious look will dis
appear. His blood will be purified and
his kidneys stimulated to perform their
work properly. All these things are &C.
complished by the Bitters.
