Neutrality Proclamation

New York, Nov. 2s.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: AS a re-
suit of the formal notification given by
Great Britain to foreign powers that a
state of war exists in South Africa, proc
lamations of neutrality are expected to
be issued. Lord Pauncefote, the British
ambassador. has called upon Secretary
Hay. and the object of his visit is thus
explained:
THE British ambassador has informed
doubt which appears to exist whether
her majestys government recognizes
that the hostilities now in course of pro-
gress in South Africa constitute state
of war between Great Britain and the two
South African republics he has been di-
rected by the Marquis of Salisbury to in
form the secretary of state, as an act
of courtesy, that the SOUTH African re-
public and the Orange Free State, hav-
ing declared war against her majesty,
the queen. and having invaded the Brit
ish colonies of the Cape and Natal and a
state of war has actually existed since
Oct. IL, between England and the South
African republic and the Orange Free
State"
While in several instances in recent
years the United States has not consid-
cred it necessarE~.to proclaim its nue.
trality in wars between other powers. yet
the authorities may deem it expedient
in view of the sympathy they feel for
Great Britain in the present struggle, t.
do so formally. The matter will probably
be considered by the cabinet at it's meet.

WAS NOT MURDER.
The Embalming Work Aroused the Sus-
niCionS of the Family.


A telegram was received in the city
yesterday conveying the information
that the family of Alphonso Burt sus-
poets he was murdered instead of hav-
ing committed suicide.
Young Burt was the son of Bishop
Burt of Brigham City, Utah, and the
body was shipped their for burial. 1t
appears that the relatives. finding a
cash in the throat of the deceased.
called in physicians, who expressed the
opinion that death was the result of
foul play.
The facts in the case are that Burt
had a fight the night before he died
and was somewhat scratched up about
the face. These scratches were in evil
dence when the coroners investigation
was made, but there was no cut in the
throat and the inquest proved conclu-
sively that death was the result of a
dose of morphine, taken with suicidal
intent. From inquiry made last even
ing. it developed that when the body
was embalmed at Sherman's undertake
ing establishment an incision was made
in the throat, as is usual in embalming
some bodies. in order to reach main
artery, and this was doubtless the cut
in the throat referred to by the dispatch
from Brigham City.

CRUSHED UNDER
A MASS OF ROCKS
A Fatal Accident to Patrick Judge in
the Anaconda Mine-He Has
No Relatives Here.

Another distressing fatality occurred
last night shortly after 9 o'clock on the
eighth floor of the 400 foot level of No.
5 shaft in the Anaconda mine. Patrick
Judge. aged 33 years, single, met death
by being crushed under a large rock,
weighing probably two tons.
Judge and his partner, Dave Hogan,
both experienced miners, were working
at the point mentioned and We're in
the act of placing half set of timbers
to support piece of ground they knew
was unsafe to work under. Hogan
stood near the timbers which We're to
be placed under the treacherous hang
ing, and Judge walked over to
point beneath the hanging, presum-
ably to take some measurements. How
ever, as he stood under the rock he
turned around to speak to his partner
and the rock fell upon him, striking
him across the back and pinning him
down. He uttered a faint cry, but
death was sudden. and he never spoke
again. He fell upon his face, and in
the fall an ugly cut was made over
one of his eyes. Judge came to Butte
from Colorado about five months ago
He has no relatives here so far as
any of his acquaintances know. 1t is
not known where he was born, and no
one could be found last night to give
any information concerning his rela-
tives. He lived at Mrs. Ryans in
East Broadway.
Coroner Julien and Deputy Mining
Inspector Hunter were promptly noti-
fed of the accident. The body was
taken to the National Undertaking
company, in Quartz street. No date
has been set for the inquest.
Late last night it was learned that
Judge has a sister residing at Cattle
Creek Colo, Mrs. Thomas McNulty,
who was notified by wire of her broth

of the Pinkerton detective agency at
st. Paul, is in the city seeking infor-
nation as to the whereabouts of sam
uel M. Herbert, young man who dis

the 22d of last June. Mr.. Rindal states
that Herbert was formerly farmer In
Kentucky. but four years ago came
West to Livingston, this state, and en-
tered the employ of the Northern Pa
cific. Last June he decided to leave
Livingston in the hope of lettering
himself and came to Butte. Since his
arrival here nothing had been heard
of him and his family sought the as
sistance of the detective agency to try
and locate him. Mr. Rindal stated last
evening that he had learned that Her
bert was in the city on June % and was
seen at the Montana Meat market, but
from that day he can find no trace of
him. He is supposed to have had
about $1,000 in his possession when he
disappeared.

HAD AMUSING FEATURES
A Criminal Case in Judge
Clancy's Court.
CASON WAS NOT FINED
1t Was Then Discovered That the De-
fendant Had Not Plead-And
the Trial of the Case
Went Over.
CASON WAS NOT FINED

The proceedings in criminal case in
Judge Clancy's court yesterday We're
not without amusing features. Edward
Erickson, charged with assault in the
second degree, came very near being
put on trial before he had been given
an opportunity to plead to the infor-
nation.
Some time ago Erickson tried to beg
25 cents from Mike Cavanaugh, and
when the latter refused to dig up
Erickson pulled knife and slashed
him. He was arrested, and at that time
gave the name of Edward Carroll. He
was held to the district court, and
when transferred to the county Jail he
said his right name was Edward Erick-
son, and an information in that name
was filed against him. After he had
been arraigned his attorney, q. T. Ca
son, commenced habeas corpus pro-
ceedngs under the impression that his
client was illegally imprisoned. When
Judge Clancy dismissed the writ he also
set the case for trial, though Erick-
son had not yet entered his plea He
was brought into court yesterday morn
ing, but his attorney was not on hand.
Mr.. Cason was called, but he did not
respond
Not here" said the court II can't
go on this way. Here is a jury draw
ing SO a day each man, and is a great
expense to the county and taxpayers.
I'll just appoint another attorney for
you
The Judge looked about the court
room, and espied old w. R. Keithley.
Here, Judge Keithley, l want you
to defend this man. You have been
hanging around here looking for job,
and I'll give you one"
Mr.. Keithley did not decline the ap-
pointment. but said he knew nothing
at all about the case. The court there
upon appointed Attorney w. j. Naugh-
ton to assist Mr.. Keithley, and ad-
journed court until 10 O'clock to give
them time to get acquainted with their
client and familiarize themselves with
the case, and told the bailiff to take
the defendant and his new attorneys
out into the corridor for consultation.
When 10 o'clock arrived Erickson was
in court again, but Attorney Cason
sat by his side. He said he owed the
court an apology, and went on to state
that he had sickness in his family, and
had oversight himself.
Yes; you look as though you had
oversight yourself" said Judge Clancy,
but he accepted the explanation of the
attorney, and the fine, which doubtless
had been contemplated, was not i'm
posed. The court ordered the trial to
proceed. but it didn't. The chief dep.
uty county attorney had made a dis
covery.

HELD AN INQUEST.
Investigating the Cause of the Death OF
Charles Noakes.

Charles Noakes.
Coroned Julien held an inquest at
TachelIs undertaking rooms last even
ing on the body of Charles Noakes, the
old-timer who was found dead in his
cabin at 81 East Porphyry street Mon
day evening. From the investigation
there could be no doubt that death was
the result of general breaking down
of the constitution and the jury found
that his death was due to natural
causes.
Edward Gleason, teamster employed
by Orville Dekay, testified that he saw
Noakes in his cabin last Friday morn
ing between and 10 o'clock. He was
at the door, About 10 o'clock Saturday,
while driving past the cabin the wit
ness, saw deceased in bed, and again
Monday He must have been dead Sat-
urday morning, as he was in exactly the
same position both times. Witness
knew nothing of deceased.
Orville Dekay, proprietor of the wood
yard in East Porphyry street. said
Noakes lived in a cabin adjoining his
yard. Saturday morning he saw de-
ceased go to a hydrant in the yard and
draw some water. This was about s
o'clock. He looked very pale. Witness
did not see the man again till Monday
at $50 o'clock in the evening. Some
neighbors said he had been in bed a
him and he had not answered. They
thought witness should go to the cabin
and see if anything was wrong. Wit
ness went to the cabin and found the
man was dead. He was in bed and was
partially dressed, having his shoes and
trousers on. He laid in a perfectly
natural position and had the appear
ance of having gone to sleep and
died.
Dennis T. Murphy said he had known
deceased six years; saw him frequently
and talked with him; never heard him
say he was afflicted with heart trouble;
always regarded deceased as a strong
man for his years: did not know of his
having been i'll of late. Witness was
present when the death was discovered
and saw no evidences of any vio-
lence.
Undertaken James Tachell testified to
examining the cabin and effects of de-
ceased. Nothing of any Importance was
found, neither evidences of suicide or
violence. Witness thought death was
the result of a general breaking down
of the constitution.
