MANUFACTURES GOSOUTH

Walter S. Moss, the theatrical man

Throughout the West. writes a gossipy
letter on theatrical affairs, politics and
Mckinley prosperity from Mahanoy
City, Pa.
J. Il am working my way through the

of at least five burglaries in this city
in less than a week, the officers have
no doubt that he Is booked for a long
term in the penitentiary.
Burke and his wife. after being kept
in the custody of the officers for sew
eral hours, were released, there being
no evidence that they We're implicated
with Howard in any way further than
as acquaintance, and that the woman
had pawned the watch at his request.
Officer Stauffer. who was at the sta
ton when Howard was brought in, at
once recognized him as a man whom
he had seen in Brownies addition Tues
day, when he was apparently saunter-
ing along and looking at the sights.
Considering the fact that Howard
was stranger in the city, and that
there was practically no clue to the
man who was doing the daring daylight
burglaries, the officers are deserving of
great credit for having effected his
capture, as he gives evidence of being
one of the .shrewdest criminals who
ever operated in Spokane.

HOWARD A SMOOTH ONE
He Commits Burglaries by the
Wholesale at Spokane.
ONCE OPERATED IN BUTTE
Prospects Are Mighty GOOD for Long
Term in the Washington State
Penitentiary- R efuses
to Talk.

According to the Spokane papers
man travelling under the name and
style of T. Howard of Montana has
taken unto himself a large armful of
stuff belonging to some one else. He
has operated in Spokane for about a
week, and it is probable that he has
turned trick or two in Butte.
His prospects for long term in the
penitentiary are excellent, there being
the strongest evidence that during the
short time he has been in Spokane he
has committed no less than five burg
laries, all but one Of them in broad
daylight and that one early in the
evening.
That he is the man who has been do
ing this work Is most strongly shown
by the fact that when arrested he had
in his possession articles which were
stolen from the homes of w. w. Saun-
ders. A. M. Mitchell NJ G. Martindale,
Fl. J. Tormey and J. {. Mountain. The
capture was effected by Chief of Police
Warren and Detectives Mcdonald, Nc
Phee and Sheehan, and some very clev-
er work was done by all of them.

which had been committed there on the
18th of March, which was so similar
to the work being done there that he
became convinced that when he caught
'Spokane's daylight rObher he would
have the Butte man, Accompanying
the account of the burglary was de-
scription of a lot of jewelry which had
been taken, including a small lady's
watch with the design of bird on the
GO outlined with t3iaInOp1s
The pawnbq>oker shops were carefully
watched for several days in the hope
that the burglar would attempt to con-
vert some of his srois into cash, but
he was too shrewd to try to dispose
of any of the stuff he had stolen in the
city. Yesterday, however, the Butte
watch was discovered at the Washing
ton loan office, where it had been
pawned for $25
1t was learned that 1t had been
pawned by a woman. and she was soon
located at the Bennett block. She ad-
mitted pawning the watch, but said
that she had done so at the request of
a man named Howard who roomed in
the house and of whom her husband
had recently made the acquaintance.
The woman gave her name as Burke
and said that her husband was an en-
ploye of the Owl cafe. where he had
been working for some time. Howard
had arrived here about a week ago and
he and Burke had become friendly with
each other, but had no former ac-
quaintance.
She had mistrusted Howard, and
warned her husband against him. Yes
terday, she said. Howard came to the
room occupied by her and Burke and
requested her to take the watch out
and pawn it for him. She did not want

General Freight Agent J. A. Munroe
Of the Union Pacific arrived in Butte
yesterday for a few days visit to Cen
eral Agent Clifford of the local Union
Pacific office. Mr.. Munroe is making
his annual tour to confer with the gem
eral agents in the various citi-
les of the West. by which means he
keeps in touch with the business condi-
tons of the different sections of coun-
try in which his line completes for bust
ness He has visited California, Ore
gon and the Sound and is now on his
return trip.
There is no especial significance in
my visit to Butte said Mr.. Munroe
last evening. 81 am simply making my
regular trip to look over the field at the
different points, a trip I make every
spring.
Mr.. Munroe professed to know moth
ing of the conditions touching passen-
ger rates. that branch of the business
being entirely outside of his depart
ment. and said that as far as he was
aware there were absolutely no new
developments in the relations between
the Oregon Short Line and the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Munroe will remain in
Butte two or three days.
A dozen or more of the As eonsolida-
ton compound freight locomotives, re-
Gently ordered for use on the south

Ohio railroad. are in service and are
giving splendid satisfaction. On the
Mississippi division they have increas-
ed the train haul 40 per cent. over the
old line. When the grade reductions
are completed the Improvement will be
even more noticeable. The compound
10-wheel passenger engines have devel-
oped unexpected pulling power and I'M
usual speed.
"How the 'Greyhounds' Of the Bur-

title on the front page of an interest
ing pamphlet just issued by the passen-
ger department of the Burlington. 1t
tells the story Of the record-breaking
run of the fast mail train from Chica-
go to Council Bluffs on the 18th of last
February. The. story was written by
a man who rode on the engine which
covered 500 miles in 524 minutes, and
is worth reading.

Frank Burns. an individual with but
one leg, was arrested yesterday morn
ing on a charge of malicious mischief
because he employed drastic measures
to make a nickei-in- the-slot gambling
device give up to him. Burns played q
machine at the California brewery and
won, but the machine would not shell
out the nickels, and when the manage
ment of the place refused to pay what
he had won, he took his crutch and
proceeded to demolish the offending
machine. Burns, in stating his motive.
said that if they didn't propose to pay
when a man put in his nickels and
won, he proposed to fix the thing so
they wouldn't get another mans

MHRICOpA COPPER MINES
Continued Prosperity Reported in
the WiCkenburq District.

Mr.. w E. Deity came down fTcm
Wickenburg Thursday night returning
north again last night.
Mr. Deity is in charge CT the Mari
copa copper mines formerly known as
the Osborne group. He reports that
development work is being rapidly
pushed and that the outlook is most
promising for the future. Th5 shaft is
now down 126 feet and will be C-n-
tinued to depth cf at least 500 fecS
before a smelter is erected. Just at
the present time the company is 6n-
gagged in placing a good hoist en- the
property to facilitate the development
work, and When fully Opcned up it Will
be time enough to build a smelter.
There is, however, no doubt but
that time will come. The property is
well known, as it has been located for
The -.2st twenty years, but the former
owner has always held it at 50 high a
figure he could not dispose Of it, and
did net have the means to develop it
himeelf.
tsSince the recent boom in mining
matters people have stopped scratch
ing around CT the surface like lot Of
old, hens" said Mr.. Dsfty, but have
gene to mining in earnest"
This is not only the case with tn S
mine, but with lots Of them in the
same district, and in a short time
Wickenburg will be heard from in big
letters"
