WHAT CAUSED
LYONS DEATH?
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY GIVEN
AT THE CORONER'S INQUEST.

Corener h Julien and a jury last
evening investigated the death of
Michael ]. Lyons. who was found dead
in an old stope of the Lexington mine
last Tuesday morning, but as there was
some suspicion that the unfortunate
mans death was not accidental, it was
decided to- adjourn the inquest in order
that the jury might visit the spot where
the body was found.
Foreman Vacchiery of the Lexington.
who discovered the body. stated that
the old stope in which Lyons was found
was 40 or 80 feet from the road, tina
it was protected by a fence. The hole
was about II feet deep and was so small
that he had difficulty in getting down.
On being informed of the "appeara
OF Lyons he decided to explore this stope.
and on going in he found the legs of a
man sticking out of a barrel. The barrel
was several feet away from the opening
and MIR. Vacchiery gave it as his I'M
quailhed opinion that the body could not
have fallen into the barrel from the
opening on Top. The only conclusion he
could reach was that the body had been
placed in the barrel and then taken
down into the stope. What strength
ened MS suspicious vas the fact that q
Few feet away from the barrel was q
pool OF blood, while there was no blood
in the barrel. The mans hat was miss
ing ana could not be found in the neigh
bofhood. He had made an examination
of the surroundings, but found No evi-
dence of a struggle.
IN view of the sensational testimony
OF Mr.. Vacchiery, the coroner decided 70
ADJOURN the inquest until Friday at noon
When the jury will make an inspection

authofltles will make an investigation.

Joe Chamberlin'S Speech.

London. Nov. 30.-Joseph Chamberlain.
secretary of state for the colonies, in a
speech at a luncheon at Leicester today,
said he was deeply gratified that the for
eign relations of Great Britain We're SO
satisfactory and asserted that the coun-
try OWED a debt of gratitude to Lord
Salisbury for the great Improvement in
Great Britain's position. 1t was especial
ly gratifying, he said, to note the friendly
relations existing between the Anglo
Saxon branches, saying that the under
standing between the United States and
Great Britain was indeed a guarantee of
peace to the world. This statement was
greeted with cheers.
1t was of the utmost importance, Mr..
Chamberlain further remarked, that
Great Britain should not remain isolated
in Europe and her natural alliance was
with the great German empire.
They had difficulties with Germany
but their interests and sentiments were

Riding on the General Wave
Of Prosperity.
0'BRIEN HAS SWITCHED
In Politics. Compares the Cleveland
Administration With the
Present One.

John O'Brien, a well known mining man
through the camps of Colorado, especial
~ those of the Cripple Greek district. In
speaking of conditions as they exist in
that state Mr.. O'Brien says they could
not, as viewed from a standpoint of
prosperity, be better. All men who want
work are busy, and in many instances
jobs are seeking the men, not the men
the jobs.
"A wave of general prosperity seems to
he, land Colorado is not being overlooked.
There are three very rich mines in the
Cripple Creek district-the ore in two of
them is so ruch that many specimens are
carried away by the miners. At the end
of each month it is a common thing to
see the men going to Denver with their
satchels. The gripsacks are pretty heavy
sometimes and that ore is worth all the
way from Sc to $14 per pound. 1t costs
only a few dollars to make the trip. Den
YER assayers buy the ore. In Colorado it
is a great business. Do the Butte min
ers at work there steal ore? Not much.
That is a game to which a man must be
SuuNotCNt oIu II CouNsttlOiI vi all bullC
miners in this respect has been neglected.
Say, ak about prosperity. there is
more of it in the country today h there
has ever been. Compare the present ad-
ministration Of affairs with the demo-
cratic administration of Cleveland. There
is no comparison, and I'll say right now
that I'll never vote the democratic ticket
again, although I have been a democrat
all my life. And this talk they are giving
us about free silver is CUFF. Suppose a
free silver law Should be enacted, would
1t benefit this western country? Not
much! I'll tell you what it would do.
1t would result in every man and woman
in it sending to some other part of this
country for his or her relatives. The
west would soon be overrun with them.
The silver mines of the entire world
would be started up and all outside of
this country would dump their product
upon us. In a short time the market
would be giutted and then reaction would
set in. Then where would all the people
be? They would simply be eating each
other in order to exist. / don't care if
silver should so to S. an ounce the result
would be the same, and although the mine
owners would pay high for awhile the
poor miner would still be working for his
little old S.. so per day and no questions
asked"

The montana Kid" Arrested
This Morning.
HIS CAREER in Butte
ca0Sed as the Friend of saltwater
Bill Charged With
Larceny.

The Montana Kid" who succeeded in
palming himself off as a rich Klondiker
about a year ago. and who represented
himself to be worth 5000, goo, and was a
much-sought-for individual until it was
ascertained that he was an imposter,
spent the greater portion of ~Thanksgiv-
ing day in Jail, on a charge of grand lar
ceny.
The Montana Kids name is Daniel
Agoa. and he has been working in the
mines for several months past. Agoa
married a variety actress about three
months ago. Mrs. Agoa is a footlight
favorite of the Casino theater. She has
been known to accept percentage checks
OH a pinch.
While Mrs. AGoa was at work at the
theater early this morning her husband
went to her room and stole her wardrobe.
AS soon as she ascertained that he was
the thief she caused a warrant to be is
sued for his arrest. While the officers
were in search of him Mrs. Agoa man
aged to locate her clothing and took the
stuff back to her room. When Agoa
learned of this he swore out a warrant for
her arlcst-fOr stealing her own clothing,
Inc two were arrested about the same
time and taken to the city Jail. Mrs.
Agoa says she is tired of the Montana
Kid; that he is a bag of wind and that
ne mas fooled her just as he fooled the
people of Butte some time ago.
Agoa came to town like a whirlwind.
during the Klondike excitement, posing
as the friend and business partner of
"Swiftwater Bill" and representing that

money. and or the strength of his repu-
tation a variety actress, The Diamond
queen married him in Seattle, and came
with him to Butte. After he had been
mere a few weeks he went broke. and
lived on the earning of his wife. '.The
Queen" was a good business
woman and she conceived the idea of get
ing up a benefit at the opera house for
him. and thus take advantage of all the
1ree advertising the newspapers had given
MN. The benefit was a frost and the
woman left him in disgust. She died a
snort time ago and soon afterwards he
married the present Mrs. Agoa.

yon for $50. Soon afterwards Morong
missed a gallows frame which he val
ued at $75 and spoke to Bell about it.
Bell told him he had sold the frame. as
it had been a part of his purchase. Mo-
rong claimed it had not been included in
the other property. Con Sullivan tes-
titled that Morong had offered all the
property to him for $25. He thought the
