An Ugly Customer.

Police officers Smith and Foley arrested
an ugly customer yesterday morning in
the person of John Phillips. Officer Smith
saw Phillips in an alley yesterday morn
rs, and as he was acting peculiarly to
say the least. concluded TO 'vag" him.
Seeing the officer start for him. Phillips
ran and was giving Officer Smith a warm
chase. when officer Foley put in an APP
pearance ahead of the fugitive. Officer
Smith called to Foley to stop the man. and
when he attempted to comply Phillips
gave him warm tussle till Officer Smith
came up. Phillips was then taken to the
county jail. and on being searched three
new razors bearing the name on the
cases of the Parchen D'Acheul Drug COM
pany were found in his possession. Instead
of vagrancy a charge of petit larceny was
preferred.

.PLUCKY OSCAR JULIUS
Deserted by His Trainer but Still
in the List.
HE is PACING THE BUNCH
Miller Is in Distress With a Troublesome
Knee-Gimm Is Sure of Gaining
the Lead - No Signs OF
Being Tacky.

San Francisco, Feb. 17.-Although
full six-day riders in the international
sixday race at the Mechanics pavilion
have been riding to-day just as if the
race were but started, instead of entering
into the last third of the long journey
tonight Averages to-day OF IS to IS
miles an hour for long periods were
nothing strange. Oscar julius, the
Swedish tailender to the line of
men, was the hero of the day. julius
was sick last night. He went to bed cor
long sleep and while in the land IF
nod his trainer walked away with his
money and valuables. To-day, when
about to quit. julius decided that he
would finish and save himself the name

get inside the prize list at ALL Julius.
with no trainer, nothing to eat and no
care at all, went and re-dressed and
came upon the track. John Lawson's
brother took care of him and then he
started pacing the bunch. In the 91st
hour Julius carried the party along 10
miles and two laps. In the hour Gimm
freshened and hung in the line, which
Tapped Miller again and again. The
champion was evidently in distress, and
1t is said he has a very troublesome
knee. Gimm is not worried, but counts
upon being again in the lead before an
other day has passed.
Alberts and Hale continue their won
derful plugging. None of the riders to-
day show the slightest signs of being
demented, and Nawn, who was tacky
yesterday, said this morning that at no
time yesterday did he know just what
he was doing. To-day Nawn started to
kill off his field, and for hours in the
early part of the day he did 10 to 20
miles an hour. The attendance at this
most remarkable race improves hourly
and night times are like day times with
the crowd, as all stay to see the con-
test through. Fredericks, who returned
to the track at o'clock this morning
after having quit the game for seven
hours last night made no trouble at
all for his trainers to-day. and worked
conscientiously to regain the four posi-
lions he had lost. Pierce had his bad
times and loafed for hours while others
hustled. He dropped gradually from
position to position. Aaronson grabbed
cigar on the fly from Frank Walters
mouth, smoked most of it and then
passed the stump to Barnaby, who fin
ished it.

The Action Is Caused by an AL

& Rock Island.
Another suit for 500 900 damages was

Another suit for 100000 damages was
brought in the district court yesterday
by F. Augustus Heinze and Arthur p.
Heinze against the Butte & Boston
Consolidated Mining company, on ac-
count of an alleged trespass on the Cora
and Rock Island mining claims. The
complaint in the case alleges that the
plaintiffs have lease on the two min
ing properties and have the right to
mine and extract ores from veins hav-
ing the apexes within the exterior lines
The claims are patented and We're so
located as to have parallel end lines,
and the plaintiffs not only have the
right to mine within the vertical side
lines but also on all veins having their
tops and apexes therein throughout
their entire depth. There are two or
more veins with their apeXes within the
Cora that extend on their course
through the the claim nearly parallel
with the side lines and depart through
both end lines. These veins so far de-
part from a perpendicular on their
downward course as to pass beyond the
south side line of the claim and to enter

surface of the westerly portion of the
Gray Rock one in the most northerly
drift of the 700 foot level. north of what
is called the West Gray Rock shaft. and

thereof. The plaintiffs aver that all
other veins in the Gray Rock claim
north of the veins above mentioned and
west of the plane of the east end line
of the Cora extended in it's own direc-
ton to the SOUTH have their apeXes in
the Cora. There are also several VEINS

defendants, wrongfully and without the
consent of the plaintiffs, and by means
of underground workings in the Gray

A DAYLIGHT BURGLARY.

Another daylight burglary came to the
attention of +, the police yesterday, when
Fergus Kelly reported to Chief Mulhol-
land that his residence, at the corner of
Montana and Iron streets, had been enter
ed and ransacked. Mrs. Kelly was out
during the afternoon and when she re-
turned home she found the house in great
disorder. Burglars had undoubtedly been
there and, as has been usual in all day
light burglares of late. it was plainly dis
cernable that the trespassers were in quest
of money, as pretty nearly everything
had been gone through. yet nothing of
value taken. All that was missing was n
number of medals, valuable only for their
association. yet highly priced by the own
ers. There is no clue as to who did the

Lieutenant A. l.. Castle of the 18th

Lieutenant Castle was one among the
great number of young mercantile men
TO drop business when the war with
Spain broke out and go to. the front as a
volunteer. His regiment now being
mustered out, he is again a civilian and
his return to mercantile pursuits. His
visit to Butte was in this connection,
as the travelling representative of an
Illinois stove manufacturing concern.
Lieutenant Castles regiment enjoyed
the distinction of being the first volun-
teer regiment to be mustered into the
service of the government. having COM
peted mastering on the 9th of May. and
Lieutenant Castle, though only about
25 years of age, was the senior LIST lieu
tenant in the volunteer service. 1t was
the 5th Illinois regiment that had such
a time in trying to get into actual serv-
ice. and failed at last through reaching
Porto Rico just as hostilities ceased.
The 5th was the governors regiment
and every influence was eXerted to have
the regiment sent to the front in time
to participate in the fighting. The reg
dment was ordered out of camp to en-
Shark on a transport no less than five
times before it finally sailed, only to be
ordered back into camp again the fol-
flowing day. At last orders came to
tleave Chickamauga and proceed to
Newport News, where it finally en-
fibarked on the OLDHAM and set sail for
4Porto Rico. On its arrival the officers
: were informed of the signing of the
protocol and the transport was turned
around and sent back without disem-
barking.
Lieutenant Castle said the officers and
men were greatly chagrined at their
failure to see service after so much eff
fort, and they were glad when orders
came early in October to muster out
I'VE had only one consolation" said
Lieutenant Castle, jocularly, land that
We had to invent ourselves.
We always said the reason the Span
iards quit was because they heard we
were coming"
Lieutenant Castle states that his regi-
ment did not get any of the embamed
beef said to have been furnished the
regiments that went to Porto Rico. In
fact, the men all regarded themselves
as very fortunate, as there was always
plenty of food and very little sickness
in the command.
Lieutenant Castle carries unique
souvenir of the naval battle, which was

Picturesque Evening Ties.

From the Vogue.
The most effective black ties to be
worn with dinner coats this year are
made of black figured silk. They are
very thin and light in texture and are
as pliable as the ties of unstarched
muslin which are being used for even
ing wear.
The idea for these evening ties is to
make them as picturesque and as nat
ural as possible. There should be not
the least stiffness about them, and they
are to be arranged in a double or sin
gle butterfly bow, without being drawn
tightly. Thus there is a little variation
in the usual monotony of evening dress
The long established usage, however,
is plain black satin tie.

Lived rive Years After That EPISODE.
Thomas Internal Machine.
From the New York Sun.
Count Won Caprivi, who died the other
day, lived five years after the Supposed
anarchist attempted to kill him and
Emporer William by the internal ma
chlnes he sent them. These machines
were exactly alike and the boxes which
contained them were quite small, being
only fve inches in length. The one sent
TO Chancellor Won Caprivi was accom-
panied by a note saying the box con-
tanned new and fine variety of radisil
seed. The writer evidently knew that
gardening and horticultural were the
diversions OF Caprivfs leisure hours.
Both boxes, exciting suspicion, were
opened with the greatest caution and
were found to be Internal machines of
deadly character.
The greatest fatality ever caused by
an Internal machine Is known as the
Bremerhaven explosion and it occurred
near the end of 1876. when a fellow WHO
called himself Thomas, and was said
to be an American. took up his resi-
dence with his family in Bremen His
finances were at a low ebb, and to re-
plenish them lie conceived the idea of
sending to America some worthless but
mighty insured packages of goods. BY
the same vessel he intended toship an
Internal machine, whiol was to have
exploded a few days after the vessel
had left port. The explosion occurred,
however, just before *the package was
put on board, causing terrific loss of
life. Thomas. whose real name was
said to be Alexander. charged his ma
chine with nitro glycerine, which he
had procured in America, and pur-
chased the clock-work and case CON
tanning the machine in Germany The
hammer of the clockwork which was
~ ,s.,
was to strike a blow of 80 pounds
weight. In his confession later Thomas
said that when testing the clock-work
the hammer smashed a mahogany ia
BILE.
He sent the continuance to Bremen
haven to be shipped on the Mosel for
New York, via Southampton. He him
self took passage to the later port,
where he had arranged to ship his cases
of rubbish for New York. The Mosel
was to leave Bremerhaven on Saturday
Dec IL, and on that day the Internal
machine was sent to the dock, which
was crowded with porters, passengers
and their friends. For some reason
that has never been explained the
heavy case slipped from the crane onto
the wharf as it was being lifted up the
ships side, and the charge was instant
ly exploded Death and destruction
were dealt around. 1913 men, women and
children being instantly killed, while SIS
others were terribly wounded.
Thomas was waiting on board the
ship to receive his case and see it
slowed away, in the hold; but right after
the explosion he went to his cabin,
locked the door and shot himself in the
head with a revolver. He fingered for
several days in the hospital, and made
a full confession before he died.
