Butte life is apparently too serious for
the grown folks to participate in First Of

today were of the usual order and no cas-
ualties resulted. Major Dawson took a
shy at an old plug hat on a corne and
discovered that it contained a brick. One
of his toes may ave to be amputated.
He has a kick coming. Tom Kinds was
too busy today to indulge in p~leasantries
and was wondering If he would also run

Judge Clancy it is supposed will decide
this afternoon.

KINDS MAY GET II.

Thomas r. Kinds has not yet taken
hold of the Boston and Montana proper
ties, but it now looks as though he
might do so at almost any time.
In the district court late this afternoon
the deed and bill of sale of the property
which We're executed at the time the
property was transferred from the New
York to the Montana corporation were
offered in evidence in supper of the
allegation that the transfer had been
made, but an objection to them was
made and the court sustained it. There
We're sixteen different reasons given by
the plaintiffs for Directing to the admis-
sion of the deed, the principal one Of
which was that the amount of the con-
SideratiOn was not stated.
Testimony was offered this afternoon
to show the character of Kinds. Some
of the proceedings in connection with
the disappearance of the salary bill at
Helena two years ago were read by At
torney Forbis. They We're in the nature
of testimony given before the grand jury.
Standard, gave testimony at the hearing
today. He said he knew Kinds.
This line of investigation was pursued
for the purpose of showing that Kinds
in the salary bill case, Kinds as county
treasurer and Kinds as the receiver for
the Boston and Montana property We're
one and the same person.

TODAY'S RUNAWAY.
THE PACE WAS FAST BUT NO ONE
WAS HURT.

A team attached to a heavy delivery
wagon, charging down Main street at Il
furious pace. created considerable ex-
citement this afternoon, and but for the
p)uck of the driver, Mike Harrington,
the runway might have been attended
with seriou consequences. The team
became frightened and started to run on
Woolman street. and turning into Nam
dashed down the street at full speed.
Fortunately there was not much tra1llc
on the street at the time. The driver
kent his seat but his efforts to stop he
frightened team We're of no avail. AT
the corner of Park and Broadway Har-
rington made a desperate effort to guloe
the team to the side of the street IN or

nro,chine street car. and succeeded, but

team threw the horses Town, winch
stopped the ~equippage. The collis!oh
with the street car was missed by TINS
occurrence and fortunately no II was

Story of a econ" Man Who
Was Arrested Today.
JUST OUT OF PENITENTARY
And is Evidently Anxious to Get Back
Into That Institu-
tiOn,

E.. F. Henderson, a sure thing conf
dence man and burglar, who vas re-
leased from the state penitentiary only
five or six days ago, has been doing his
best to get back into hat institution,
where meals are to be had three times a
day and where the perfume of the flow
ers that grow in and about swarded
Deer Lodge are waited by kindly winds
through the ~iron-barred windows to those
who transgress the laws Of Montana.
Henderson was sent up from Dillon
about two years ago for burglary, and
on securing his release selected Butte as
a place where a man of his versatility
ought to flourish. He arrived here We'd
nesday and at once began operations. lie
represented himself to be a returned
klondiker who had invested his savings
in a car load of furs. The furs, he said,
were at the depot, and his return to civil
ization had so paralyzed him that he
soon became separated from his money,
and all he wanted was enough money to
pay the cost of removing the furs from
the depot to the establishment of a local
! furrier. On the strength Of this story
; which he told smoothly he succeeded in
raising a little money from several in
dividuals. who have waited patiently Tor
his return, but in vain.
Henderson also cultivated the ac-
| uuaintance of Gus Fitschen. He repre-
| scented to Fitschen that he had money on
| deposit at the bank Of w. A. Clark u
| Bro, and wanted him to cash a cheek
| for him, but Mr.. Fitschen noticed that
! the dove-tails of his story did not match
| perfectly and declined to do so.
Officers Steinburg and James met
| Henderson west of the Parochial school
| about 1873 o'clock last night. The ponce
were of the opinion, from his suspicious
actions that his intentions were to pur-
glarize some residence of that sectlon.
He saw them and went up to them, ana
| opened a conversation by repeating his
Klondike story with a few variations.
! He said he had captured a boat 1oatlng
| down the Yukon river. The boat was
| filled with choice furs, and he managed
to dispose of the cargo to good advant-
age. All he had of the stock was hve or
| six fine buffalo pelts which he would sell
at a sacrifice. He desired to be directed
to a fur store. He also said he was on
his way to Washington with some Valu-
able papers which he had found on the
boat. The officers reported the matter
