THE RETURNING VOLUNTEER.

MORNING.
Points proudly he
Back DER the sea,
Where land the eye may barely find,
And glad he cries,
Meath the warm skies:
"Luzon behind.''
NOON.
Webbing his legs,
Unsteady pegs,
He bares his hot brow to the wind.
Still feebly he
Cries, o'er tho sea:
"Luzon behind"
EVENING.
Grasps he the rail,
His face is pale,
Vain is it now that no has dined,
For, on the seas
His dinner he's
Luzon behind.

A CONTESTED ELECTION
1t Is Alleged That E. D. Elderkin
Is Not Qualified.
QUESTION OF RESIDENCE
Registered in the Third Ward in 1898
Mary Greeley Begins a Suit for
Damages Against Will
lam B. Jenkins

Thomas Rowan, alderman from the
reelection by E. D. Elderkin, yesterday
commenced an action in the district
court contesting Elderkins election on
the ground that he had not been a
resident of the ward the length of time
required by law. The complaint states
that Elderkin was not a resident of
the ward for one year preceding the
election on April 8, but was resident
and eleetor of the Third ward within
the year, having registered in that
ward for the election in April, 1885,
and is therefore ineligible to the Office
of alderman from the Eighth ward.
D'Gay Stivers is attorney for Mr..
Rowan.
Mary Greeley yesterday commenced
suit against William B. Jenkins for
$500 damages on account of malicious
arrest and false Imprisonment. She re-
lateS in her complaint that on Dec. Il,
1898, the defendant appeared before a
justice of the peace and charged her
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses and procured her arrest in do
ing which he acted maliciously and
without probable cause. She was i'm
prisoned for about four hours at that
time, and on the 14th of last March
the defendant again caused her arrest
under the same warrant. Thereafter
the justice of the peace made an Or
der holding her to answer to the charge.
On the list of April. in the district
court, the county attorney dismissed
the complaint against her and asked
leave not to file an information against
her, whereupon she was discharged,
since which time the defendant has not
further prosecuted the plaintiff, but
abandoned the case. Mrs. Greeley
says the charge made against her and
her arrest hereunder was extensively
published in the newspapers and was
read by many persons. BY reason of
the facts complained of the plaintiff
was injured in her person, prevented
from attending to her business, was
subjected to great shame and humilia-
ton, injured in her credit, prevented
from being with her family while I'M
der arrest suffered great mental an
guish and was injured in her good name
and reputation, all to her damage in

MAY DAY IN BUTTE.
1t Was Chilly Festival With Overcoats
and Gloves.


May day in Butte was quiet, chilly
festival. 1t showed and it was cold, SO
cold that to go without overcoat and
gloves was regarded as indisereet. There
were no May day picnics or excursions.
Dewey day, so far as demonstration was
concerned was a blank. May poles were
not seen. The queen of the May, mother,
remained indoors.
a month ago, when people had come to
believe that spring weather would be here
by May /, it was hoped that Butte might
see fit to observe Dewey day in accord
ance with the plans of the National Mon
ument association and celebrate Dewey's
victory with some show of enthusiasm
The national committee had prepared an
outline for programme of exercises, and
requested every city and village in the
union to participate severally in celebra-
ton of the fall of Manila. The frightfu
weather of the past week or two has
served to kill off any semblance of en-
thuslasm which under favorable condi-
tons might have characterized the ac-
tons and dispositions of men. Hence mer-
riment is supplanted by gloom and blues
everywhere. 1t was the coolest May day
experienced in Butte in years There was
hope in Butte a month ago that this city
would win the brass cannon, the prize Of
fered to the city which makes the best
showing in the collection of funds for the
National Monument association, whose
object is to erect monument to the men,
DRY Of the martyred Maine crew. The
weather is to blame for this city's very
poor showing in the contest. Butte is
left at the post The track is too heavy
and Butte doesn't like the going a little
bit. If that brass cannon were here the
indignant populace wouldn't do thing
but charge it with buckshot and shoot
the weather.
