and he asked for 'to-day's paper l
gave him the Inter Mountain and he
read it for quite while. He only read
one side of the paper, the side on
winch was an account of the murder.
After he had read it he laid the paper
aside and sat there long time in an
apparent deep study. I spoke to him
several tlmeg. but he did not answer.

there After while he got up and
went out and never came back. He
read the murder case, for l had handed
MN the paper and observed him close
ly. He did not turn the paper around
al the time he had 1t, and when he laid
1t aside the account of the murder was
outside. The defendants name was
mentioned in the article and it also
stated that the officers were looking
for him. 1t also mentioned the name
of the murdered man.
Martin Pishkur, one of the county
jailers, testified that he had known
Lucey as Jack Sullivan about a wear
ago, when he was in the county iail
for some other offense. Mr.. Pishkur
testified about the disappearance of
Lucey's pants, after his arrest for the
murder of Reagan. When asked for
them he said they had been thrown
away. A search of the Jail was made
and portion of them was found hid
den in bunk adjoining the cell of
Lucey One of the legs, upon which
there had been a tear which figured in
the case, was missing. The witness
said the prisoner was furnished with
a pair of overalls by Jailer Walsh.
The last witness of the day was the
Standards court reporter, who testified
concerning several interviews he had
had with Lucey, in Which the prisoner
claimed that although he spent day
in Anaconda, the day, after the murder,
three days in Helena and two in Boze-
man, he had read no papers and heard
nothing about Reagan's murder or that
he himself was wanted. On cross exam
nation by Attorney Cason, the witness
was asked to detail further facts con-
corning the interview including refer
ence to the fact that Lucey is suspected
also of the murder of a man named
Leary, who disappeared under circum-
stances almost Identical with the dis
appearance of Reagan. Leary and
Lucey having left Butte together to go
to British Columbia, since which time
no trace of Leary has been found.

FEATURES OF THE FOURTH
Sol Levy's Band of Indians Will
Be in the Parade.
HE'S FIXING 'EM PROPER
Beads for the Squaws and Paint for the
Bucks-The Car of State Will Be
a Beauty--The High School
Cadets.

The circus excitement is over and the
Fourth is on deck. Butte is going to
celebrate as it never did before, if the
efforts of the hustling committees
count for aught and it is believed they
do Chairman A. T. Bray has attended
to all the details, and his subs have
been generously received by the bust
ness men, and consequently thousands
of dollars will be expended in lavish
and patriotic display.
There will be a large number of
floats in the parade, and it is expected
that the line of footmen will be long
and imposing. The car of state, in
charge of Mrs. w. o. Speer and aides,
will be one Of the striking features.
The little children, representing the
states of the Union will assemble in
the high school building early on the
morning of the Fourth, so as to be in
readiness when the bugle sounds fall
in
The high school cadets will appear
in their regfmentalS and accoutrements,
shining guns and soldierly bearing.
The several civic organizations will add
beauty to the pageant. The unique
feature will be Sol Levy's band of In
dams, giving realistic reproduction Of
camp-moving scene. Sol has work
ed faithfully and earnestly to collect
Is or so bucks, squaWs and pappooses.
He even went so far as to hire a couple
of young bucks to strike out on the
trail and round up dozen or more IN
dams that were moving off towards the
eastern part of the state. These con-
scented to return provided they be fur
nished with the necessaries of life dur
ing their stay. They together with the
others, have been we'll fed with the best
to be had. Yesterday Sol carried out to
the camps load of dried apples and
bread The red men promise to make
swell appearance on the Fourth
They are as anxious to take part in
the show as Sol is to have them. Sol
has purchased several yards of flashy
heads. which he will distribute among
the squaws, who are as proud as boy
with a new top. A large amount of
paint has also been provided.
The music and fireworks for the
Fourth will be of the very best quality.
In fact, it is proposed to send up
mighty and patriotic acclaim in Butte
on the nations day of glory.

EVIDENCE AGAINST LUCEY
Showing That He Knew of the
Murder Next Day.
HAS CLAIMED OTHERWISE
He Was in Anaconda and When He Saw
His Name Mentioned in Connection
With the Crime He Suddenly
Disappeared

The states testimony in the trial of
Dan Lucey for the murder of Patrick
L. Reagan has nearly all been intro
duced and will probably be concluded
to-day. During the trial yesterday
some more damning evidence was pre-
scented against the accused man. 1t
has always been Lucey's claim that he
did not know that Reagan was dead. or
that he himself was wanted for the
murder until he was captured at Grip
pie Creek six months later. Testimony
was introduced yesterday that went to
show that he not only heard of the
murder the next day after it was COM
mitted, but that he tried to get look
at the body and afterwards read about
it in Anaconda, and that when he saw
that his name was mentioned in con-
nection with the murder and that the
officers were looking for him he sud
denly disappeared.
1t was brought out on the cross-eX-
amina ton of one of the states wit
nesses that Lucey was suspected of
making away with another man named
Leary under circumstances similar to
those attending the disappearance and
murder of Patrick l.. Reagan, for whose
murder Lucey is on trial
Sheriff P. H. Regain was the first
witness on the stand yesterday morn
ing and testified that after the muir
dered body of Patrick l.. Reagan was
discovered in Silver Bow canyon a
search was made for the defendant
Lucey, or Sullivan, as he was then
known, as he was last seen with Reag-
an. The DEFENDANTS attorneys objected
to the testimony on the ground that the
search for the defendant proved moth
ing against him. County Attorney
Conally said he desired the testimony
for the purpose of proving flight, and
the objection was overruled. The sher-
if said reward was offered for Lucey,
and description of him and kilograms
were sent out to all points, and Off
GERS from Butte made trips in every
until his arrest at Cripple Creek last
March, although about a month after
the murder information was received
that he had been in Bozeman at one
time. The sheriff testified about the
finding of the body of Reagan on the
morning of September 8, and about an
examination of the scene of the crime
made by himself and other officers;
the finding of a pool of blood, bloody
pieces of rock, to which some OF
Reagan's hair was sticking, and blood
along the trail made by the body be-
ing dragged to the creek
Jacob NJ Shiffman, proprietor OF
the saloon at Gregson, was the next
witness. He said his saloon was about
100 feet from the railroad station, and
about four miles from Silver Bow can

TIE FOREIGNER IN Japan.
Change OF Status in Omcial Circles
Within the Last Few
Years,

One OF the most interesting oues-
tlons In consideration of present japan
is the changed status of the FOREIGNER.
10 be European or an American in
Japan twenty, ten, or even five, years
ago was to be a man of power and in
ttuence. When foreigners were first ad-
mitted tS the empire the japanese,
one of the shrewdest, most far-sight-
ed peoples of the world, adopted their
methods and their religion, hired them
as teachers, engineers and officers. Now.
according 10 Japan in Transition" ,"the
hrst important book dealing entirely
with the new Japan, since they have
learned all the foreigners can teach
them in science, literature, art, war,
commerce, manufacturing, in short, in
all enterprises, they are relegating their
instructors to the background with the
cry Japan for the japanese" 1t was
thought at one time that Japan would
in time become n Christian nation. The
author of Japan in Transition shows
that almost all who accepted Christian
lty did so for the sake of the instruc-
tion which the missionaries alone could
give. In the army and navy the same
state of affairs exists. English and
German officers who fought for Japan
throughout the China war were dis
charged for the reason that the mill
tary schools which were founded
through their efforts have developed
first-cass officers. Everywhere the pol
icy of discharging the foreigner as
soon as possible has been adopted, and
in few years foreigner in any kind
of an official capacity will be the ex-
ception. At present the ambassadors
OF the powers are practically the only
foreigners who command and real re-
spect.
