MURPHY KILLED IN THE BELL
WALKED INTO A BLAST AFTER HAVING BEEN WARNED AWAY
WAS DOUBTLESS CONFUSED.
TERRIBLY MANGLED AND DIED NSTANTLY-HAD WORKED FOR
The ANACONDA COMPANY FOR SIX YEARs-LEAvEs
WIFE AND FAMILY.

A shocking accident occurred at the
Bell mine shortly before noon TODAY. re-
sulting in the death of Pat Murphy, a
Well known miner, who had been in the
employ of the Anaconda company for six
years or more.
1t appears that Murphy was working
on the third floor Of the 9OO-foot level, and
JUST above MIN, two men were at work
making an upraise. They had drilled and
shotted a set of holes, and being ready
to blast, gave Murphy the customary sig
nal, leaving him ample time to retire.
Murphy acted promptly, but in some
unaccountable way, became confused,
n instead of going away from the
blast, walked directly into it.

ing to-day the question of bring the mat.
ter before the supreme our vas dis
cussed.
Each wing Of the democracy will prob
ably issue a call for a state convention
to be held in Helena September 10. A
state ticket will be nominated by each
and then the Anaconda people will ask
the supreme court to decide which wing
is entitled to the democratic name. The
Anaconda people realize that thy will be
hopelessly overwhelmed If they go into
the convention called by j. s. Mcneil,
but they nave hopes Of convincing the
supreme court that the regular wing has
no right to the democratic name.
In the meantime the regular people are
idle in Silver Bow county. a confer
ence of the leadtrs of that. wing was held
in Butte yesterday. No details of the
conference are obtainable. but it is
known that they have a few cards up
their sleeves for use before election day.
The Anaconda people have the commit
teeman from this county and the regular
wing comedies that the opposing faction
will in all probability run things to suit
themselves here. In his event there will
be three tickets in the field in this coun-
ty, viz: the democratic. republican, and
an independent ticket, which will include
the friends and supporters of Mr.. Clark,
a part of the labor element and the pop
uliStS.

MRS. STEELE's COMPLAINT.

ING UNFAITHFUL.

Support Her-She Sues for

ground of cruelty. In her complaint she
alleges that on May % of this year, in this
city. the defendant and herself intermar-
ried; that since the marriage the defendant
has treated her with extreme cruelty by
repeatedly, persistently and at sundry and
numerous times since July 4, publishing
false charges against her chastity and pub
licly accusing her of being unfaithful to
her marriage vows. so that the charges be-
came and are a matter of public notoriety
In the neighborhood in which she resides,
and have brought upon her the contempt OF
her ~neighbors.
Mrs. Steele says further that the charges
are false, untrue and unfounded; that as
she is weak and nervous in constitution
and modest in disposition, the accusations
have caused her great mental anguish and
suffering, producing illness and necessi-
tating, on the 9th of July, the attendance
of a physician-all of which threatens per-
malent and grievous injury to her health.
further, that the defendant has refused to
support her and published in the Butte
Miner on July 81 a notice wherein he an
nolnced that he would no longer be re-
sponsible fr odebts contracted by her.
Alex Laist is the plaintiffs attorney.

CANNON BALLS FOR SALE.
Extracted by the Hundred from the
Walls OF an Old Safety Vault
in New York.

Workmen engaged in demolishinR
the 4s-year-old five-story building at
the southwest corner of Wall and Will
liam streets have found a number of
eight-pound iron balls let into the
joints of the granite slab forming the
outer wall of the street vault in what
was the basement of the building.
About 200 of the balls have been found,
reports the New York Sun. One of
the workmen was sure he had discov-
cred some Revolutionary relics" and
succeeded in disposing of number
of the cannon balls" at so cents
apiece So many of the metal spheres
were discovered that the price soon
fell to tin Of beer. The discovery and
sale continued Tuesday and yesterday
and as there are few slabs still in the
place there will probably be more "rel-
les" for sale to-day.
The demolished building was occu-
pied by the Atlantic Mutual Insurance
company and by the Phenix bank. The
vault measures perhaps Is by 20 feet.
The granite slabs which form its outer
wall are IS inches thick. The top of
each one was followed out to receive
half the iron ball and the bottom Of
the next higher was followed out to
receive the other half Possibly the
metal balls were put in to bother any
burglar who might seek to dig through
the wall.

JOKE GAINED HIS POINT.
Worked ON . Committee
ON Pensions.

Not long ago Congressman Hank Smith,
of the Second Michigan district worked joke
off on the house committee on pensions 1t
should be explained, says the Chicago Chron-
icle, that this committee is not the one
which has charge of the pensions which
grew out of the civil war, says correspond.
ent. Its functions appertain to the granting
of pensions to the widows and veterans OF
the Mexican and Black Hawk wars and
other ancient unpleasantnesses. 1t should
also be pointed out that one of their rules is
that no widows pension shall be larger than
50 month This proceeds upon the theory
that any widow who survives a veteran of
these wars must be comparatively young
woman and that she must have married the
veteran in his dotage to get his pension.
The new member from Michigan appeared
before the committee at its last meeting and
in an incidental and smiling way alluded to
the rule.
"That is a fine rule" said he in guileless
sort OF way. Il sympathiZe with its purpose
and believe it should stand. But just to show
good faith l am going to propose an amend
ment. | move that it be amended so as to
read except in the case of widows over 100
years of age.
The members of the committee are always
in favor of joke and the proposition was
adopted with unanimous laugh.
And thereupon Hank" produced from his
pocket a bill to grant a pension Of $l2 a
month to Mrs. Hixon, of Clinton, Mich. She
had just passed her one hundredth year. 1t
was not necessary to explain that her hus-
band had served to within one day of the
time requisite to get pension in the reg
ular manner. The committee reported the
bill favorably.

SAID CHRIST HAD BROTHERS.
That Was Why . Massachusetts
6chOol-Tcacher Was Asked
to Resign.

Because she told her scholars that
tiers, Miss Anna B. Hasbrouck, an in
structor in history, was dismissed
from the Holyoke (Mass.) high school
faculty by the school committee. Miss
Hasbrouck was asked to resign, and
her letter was accepted without q dis
senting vote. says an eastern ex-
change.
The incident which cost Miss Has
brouck her position happened in the
medieval history class few days ago.
The discussion drifted as to the pa
rentage of Christ, and one student
wanted to know if Christ was the only
son. Miss Hasbrouck replied: mo;
He is one of family of ten brothers
and sisters"
A second student doubted Miss Has
brouck's statement. and wanted to
know her authority.
II cannot tell you accurately just
now" she replied, ''but have the i'm
preston the statement is made in the
Bible"
Some of the students, still skeptical,
repeated the assertion at home. One
of the prominent clergymen Of the
city, Rev. p. j. Harkins, took occasion
to denounce the teacher in his sermon
at St. Jerome's church.
"Pupils," he said, Should be with
drawn from the school if incompetent
teachers are to misinstruct students
as this one has"

teacher in the Holyoke high school in

old mans glance was stern and unfor-
giving. Further back in the row of
faces Ronald saw Dawes, full to his
great staring eyes with tender awed
concern. Some feature of Hasbrooke's
reminded him Of Evelyn, and he fell to
plying her with his whole heart. He
told himself she would hear the adj
verse news on her fathers return
nome-the news that he was to be a
common prisoner in the county Jail
until the spring. He fancied he saw
her white face full of despair.
Redding was turning the leaves of
big tome on his knees and as he took
no notice of his client the latter sank
so deep into his ooze of dependency
that he did not hear the preliminary
proceedings of the court. He came to
himself only when DR.. Sloan had be-
gun speaking. The physician was
saying that, owing to the critical con-
iition of a patient, he hoped that it
would be admissible for him to testify
without delay. After a little discus
sion his request was granted, and the
doctor took the stand and kissed the
edge of worn Testament. 1t was his
opinion, he said, briefly, that Harris
death had resulted from a wound in
the lungs made by the ball for which
he had probed and which he held in
his hand.
Here the solicitor rose.
''Is that the ball you found in the
wound, doctor?" he asked.
''It is, sir" responded the witness.
"Dr. Strong" pursued the solicitor,
estate to the court if it is fact that
you found the dead man with a revolver
tightly clutched in the fingers of his
right hand"
THAT is quite true, SIR said DR..
Sloan. "Thad Williams said that he
died holding it, and that he
''Your honor" broke in Redding, on
his feet in an instant, 1--WE object to
what Thad Williams said"
The judge nodded as he admitted the
justice of the objection. The solicitor
stepped to the table of the magistrate
and took up sgd Harris revolver, which

rs this the revolver to which you
refer?" he questioned, casting calm
look of satisfaction round the circle
of lawyers within the railing.
ut is, SIR
"There is one more question:" said
the solicitor, with a smile, ''and then
we are through with you, DR.. Sloan.
You are satisfied in your mind that
sgd Harris death was brought about
by the ball you found in his body, and
that the ball came from that other pistol
lying on the table-the pistol we shall
prove was carried by the prisoner

witness paused. II am able to swear
