RYAN PLEADED GUILTY
Admits That He Held Up w. G,
Lloyd.
SENTENCED TO Is YEARS
Court Knocks Off Five Years in Consid-
GRAFTON of His Plea of Guilty-w.
G. Bell Will Probably Be
Released.

John Ryan, one of the few robbers of
Butte whom the officers have been lucky
enough to capture, pleaded guilty yester-
day and Judge Clancy sentenced him to
Is years in the penitentiary
Ryan and a partner held up and robbed
W. G. Lloyd on Christmas night at the
corner of Granite and Arizona streets.
Ryan ran down to Broadway and hid
under sidewalk east of the McDermott
hotel where he was captured County At
torney Connolly discovered that Ryan
was an ex-convict and had served term
at Deer Lodge for robbery, and therefore
an information was filed against him
charging prior conviction, under which
he might have been sentenced to 40
years in the penitentary.
When Ryan's case was called for trial
yesterday his attorney, w. j. Naughten
was absent, but sent a doctors certificate
that he was sick. The court, however
said he had information that the attorney
was out on the street all right. Ryan said
his attorney had given him no advice and
had made no preparatio for a trial, but
he didn't want a trial anyway, as he de-
sired to plead guilty in the hope of re-
ceivng the leniency of the court. County
Attorney Connolly therefore asked for
and received permission to withdraw the
charge of a former conviction against
Ryan, and also made a statement to the
court that Ryan had always shown de-
sire to plead guilty, and that during his
former term in the penitentary he had
been a model prisoner and had ..eiped to
build the new penitentiary, in considera-
ton of which he was pardoned in Decem-
Der, 1894.
Judge Connolly said that in considera-
ton of the fact that Connolly pleaded
guilty he would knock off five years from
what he otherwise should have received,
and sentenced him to Is years.
A man named w. G. Bell who Is under
arrest on suspicion of being Ryan's part
ner, will probably be discharged, as
County Attorney Connolly stated to the
court that he was convinced that he was
not the right man. at least there was not
sufficient evidence to convict him. Mr..
Lloyd, however, would not consent to
Bells discharge and said he was positive
that he was one of the two men who
robbed him, and the matter was put off
until this morning. To the officers Ryan
made the statement, soon after his arrest.
that the other man implicated in the rob-
berry was a Jew named Aarons but he
escaped and before he was located he had
committed another crime in Anaconda and
was sent up from that city for two years
under the name of Mike Carron for grand
larceny. 1t is understood that the ottlcers
have a letter written by Carron which
shows that he was Ryans partner in the
Lloyd hold-up. Mr.. Connolly said he
would make a further investigation and
decide what to do with Bell this morning.

Stabbed hy a Punil.

Albany, Mo-, Jan. 26.-T. 3. Hunter, a
teacher in the Adams school, u miles
northeast of here, has been fatally stab
bed by a 13-year-old pupil named Charles
Ayers, whom he was whipping. The boy
is in Jail here. According to the state
ment of the pupils, Hunter was Furnishing
Ayers by holding a switch close to his
face, bending it back and allowing it to
snap against him. The switch almost
drew blood every time. Suddenly the boy
whipped out a jack-knife and made a
slash at the teachers throat. The blade
struck beneath the left ear and was
drawn half around the neck, cutting a
frightful cash. The children all fled from
the schoo. after the stabbing and Hunter
was left some time without assistance.

Natives Murder Sailors.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 26.-The steamship
Aorangi brings news that the steamer
Ysabel conveyed to Sydney report from
Mr.. Forrest. the resident trader at Santa
Cruz, that information had reached him
through native channels that a Sydney
yacht had been captured by the natives,
but that her crew of two white men had
escaped into the bush. This was the is
land where the cutter Curlew was cut out
early in the year and her crew murdered.
The Ysabel proceeded to Utopia to make
inquiries. They landed fully armed at the
villages on Basilik harbor and found that
the one burned by H. M. S. Mohawk in
revenge for the murder of the cutter Cur
LEWIS crew had been rebuilt. They res
cued the Curlews boy. the sole survivor
of that unfortunate vessel.

the business of the convention with a
grand Epworth league rally in the even
ing.
The last day Of the session was of
all the most interesting. A number of
excellent papers were read, few #
which are published and will be found
of great interest to others than men,
bers of the church or those directly
connected with the work of the Epworth
league. Especially interesting will be
the declarations in favor of denomipa-
tional schools:
The meeting yesterday morning was
opened with song service, after which
the regular programme was taken up.
M. w. Bird was elected chairman and
Miss Clara D. McDonel secretary. A

were appointed by the chairman. lWeH-
ty minutes were then set apart for the
discussion of papers, the ministers be-
ing limited to one minute each and
members of the league were allowed
three minutes.
A motion was carried that an assist
ant editor be elected for the Montana
Advocate, and Mr.. Stephens was select
ed to fill that position.
Miss Davidson read the report of the
Junior league chapters. 1t was decided
to hold league elections in the latter
part of December.
Mr.. Edmundson gave a brief talk on
after which the committee on creden-
tials, composed of DR.. Raleigh, Rev. Mr..
custer and Rev. Mr.. Hosl1ing. made a
report recommending that each league
represented in the convention be en-
titled to one vote for every 20 members
the full vote to be cast by the repre-
sentatives present, and that each min
lister of the district be entitled to vote
and that the Junior leagues be repre-
scented in the same manner
At the afternoon session a permanent
organZation of the Helena District Ep-
worth league was perfected by the cleo
ton of the following officers:
President, W. H. Weaver of Anacon-
da: first vice president, Miss Cora Jen-

BURKE IS DISCHARGED
Not the Man Implicated in the
Copper State Saloon Robbery.
HAS A GOOD REPUTATION
County Attorney Connolly Convinced
That Burke Is Innocent-Rowland /.
Acquitted Of Burglary Charge. /.
Bankson Gets Four Years.

1t has developed that the police off,
GERS made a mistake in arresting John
r. Burke for completely in the Copper
State saloon robbery on Christmas
morning in which Officer Loughrin had
narrow escape from being murdered
Burke was discharged from custody
yesterday at the request of County At
torney Connolly. A fellow named Pat
rick Quinn, the chief robber was CAP
tured, but his partner escaped and
Burke, having been seen about the sa-
loon short time before the robbery,
was arrested on suspicion. and because
he answered the general description of
one of the robbers.
Burke was brought into court yes
terday afternoon and County Attorney
Connolly filed a written motion for the
mans discharge. He said mistake
had been made in arresting Burke: that
the latter was telegraph operator and
had always borne a good reputation;
besides, he had witness to prove a
perfect a1ib. Mr.. Connolly said he was
convinced that the right man had been
arrested a short time ago when fell
low known as Hot Water JIM was
captured and it was discovered that
he had a fresh bullet wound in his leg,
supposed to have been inflicted by Off
Ger Loughrin. At the conclusion of Mr..
Connolly's statement the court made an
order discharging Burke. IN
Dick Rowland. young fellow from
Virginia City, New, who has been in
Jail more than six months on a charge
OF burglarizing a house at 400 South
Main street on the 18th of last July
occupied at that time by Mr.. and Mrs.
George Girson, was tried before jury
yesterday morning and was acquitted
under instructions from the court The
evidence showed that Rowland had
been out with a gang of Virginia City
boys and got very drunk and about 2
o'clock started out to find his room and
wandered into Girson's house. An Off
Ger was called in and found him in the
kitchen. He had no weapon and no
able to prove that he had any criminal
intent in entering the house and his
attorneys made motion to instruct the
jury to acquit, and the state offered no
resistance. Rice and Forestelle were
attorneys for Rowland and Mr.. Con-
molly and Captain Stivers both ap-
peared for the state.
Charles Bankson, who on the I'd of
last July was convicted of grand lar
ceny and has been in Jail ever since,
was yesterday sentenced to four years
in the pententiary. His attorney made
a request for writ of probable cause
and asked that the defendant be re-
leased on bail pending his appeal to the
supreme court. Judge Clancy said he
did not believe there was any probable"
cause in the case and he would grant
no further delay.

To Consolidate Tanneries.

Boston, Feb. 20.-A member Of the
firm Of Hatch & Ritscher, attorneys of
Chicago is here attempting to secure
options on the upper leather tanneries
hereabout. He claims to have obtained
enough concerns to make the project
success. The name will be the Ameri-
can Hide and Leather company, with
100000, 900 capital or such other sums
as will be found necessary to acquire
the property. Of this property one-half
is to be per cent noncumulative pre-
ferred stock and half common. The pro-
moters offer to purchase the desired
tanneries either in cash, half cash and
half stock or all stock at the option OF
the owner. 1t is proposed to pay for
the merchandise, plants and good will
according to expert appraisal, tanners
to guarantee their debts. The company
has no connection with the United
States Leather company, the latter
company only manufacturing sole
leather The American company does
not expect complete control of the
trade, but expects to secure only the
leading tanners.

FOR MAYOR.

For our next Mayor. we want man
that is a hustler, and that will be ben
eft to the city. Such man must have
push and energy, and be up to all the
many tricks that are SO misleading to
the most of the people. making them
think that they want something that they
do not,
That is what is being done by good
many photographers all over the coun-
troy, making their customers believe
that they are having the best of work
when they are not. If you want up-to-
date work and new novelties 90 to the
studio of Fred +. Colburn. in the Cur
rier Blk. and you will get the very lat
est. If you are thinking of getting your
photograph taken soon, remember this
place and visit it.
