TRACKING THE MURDERER.

With positive proof of murder in their
possession. the authorities lost no time
IN taxing he urderer's trail. He was
traced to Anaconda. but there all furth-
er effort to follow him proved fruitless.
Inc county commissioners and sheriff
offered rewards for his apprehension. "A
photograph of him was obtained, copies
Eaken from 1T and sent to all. parts of
the country. Descriptions were also sent
out. W or three times it was reported
that the murderer had been seen, but
thev proved to be false alarms. One of
these reports came from Los Angeles.
Cal. another from British Columbia and
another from the east. One day in April
loon in Cripple Creek, Col, and the bar
keeper, formerly a Butte man, at once
recognized him. He called a policeman
to arrest Lucey, but the officer refused
and theb arkeeper proceeded to make the
arrest himself. He grappled with the
murderer and while the scuffle was on
the officer gave the barkeeper a helping
hand and soon landed Lucey behind the
bars. Then the sheriff of this county
was notified and Under Sheriff Murphy
went to Cripple Creek n brought him
back to Butte. but he had a hard time
getting the prisoner IL of Colorado.
The officers there were perfectly willing
he should take Lucey, but the hobo and
criminal element was not. and at one
point in the proceedings it looked as If
gun to enforce respect for the law.
When Lucey arrived in Butte he was
wearing the same trousers ne had on
ht the time he killed Regain, put the
torn place in one of the legs, supposed
to have been the result of a snag in
climbing through the wire fence with

up. While awaiting trial he discarded
the trousers for a pair of overalls, cut
the tattered leg from the old ones and
hid what was left under a mattress in
his cell. What DISPOSITION he made of
the torn leg is not known, but a thor
ough search of the Jail failed to reveal 1t.

II a Jagged three-cornered stone had
penetrated it, and the pockets Of he
clothing were turned inside out. At that
time the identity Of the murdered man
was a mystery, but Regan's relatives,
knowing hat Regain and Lucey had left
the city the night before, and suspecting
that the body might be that Of one or
the other, called at the undertaker's and
made a n examination. The horrible
truth soon dawned upon them, and a
search for Lucey was commenced, but
he had several hours start. While Lu-
cey was being sought. an examination
or the creek In the canyon was being
made. and what that examination yield
ed In the way of proof that a foul mur-
der had been committed was sufficient
to cause the pursuers of Lucey to double
their efforts to catch their man. Within
a few feet Of the railroad track, at the
east end OF the canyon, was a pool Of
blood and several bloody stones. show

where Regain had met his death. In

or the money they contained. Twenty
or thirty feet to the south was the creek.
and between 1T and the place of murder
was a barbed wire fence. Footprints
and evidence Of the body having been
dragged We're visible between the spot
Of murder and the creek. These tracks
led through the wire fence and con-
tinued on to the creek. where the body
mad been thrown into the seething mud
and water n carried downward by the
current. 1t was evidently Lucey's belief
that the body would be buried in the
debris and never found.

REGAN'S BODY FOUND.

The body of Regain was found about
two hundred yards or more from where
the murder had been committed, a track
walker named Johnson being the first
to discover it. A heavy rain had fallen
the night before and the stream had
swollen sufficiently to float the CHASTITY
corpse. The sand in the water, though,
had permeated the clothing and made
the body sink well down, causing 1t to
lodge against an obstruction and stay
there until the water had subsidized n
left it high above the surface. When
taken out of the mud the features We're
unrecognizable. The coroner was not1-

removed to this city by his order. On

LUCEY ON TRIAL

The trial of the murderer was COM
menced on June 26 of last year before
Judge Clancy and a jury comprising
Hugh Morrison, w. P. Griffiths, A. j..
Enoch H. Giberson, Joseph Roberts, G.
S. Holbrook. Ernest Rodgers, Chris
Christensen, r. w. Sampson and Daniel
Johnson, and although all of the evil
dence against the defendant was circum-
stantial, on July l he was found guilty.
On the jury was a mar who SAID, While
being examined as to his qualification to
serve, tina he would not convict a ma
on circumstantial evidence unless it
should be in a case in which two men
were the only OF an island and
one was found murdered. Yet this man,
after hearing the testimony against the
prisoner, agreed to the verdict of guilty.
Lucey was defended by z. T. Cason and
James M. Hinkle. He was given every
opportunity to prove his innocence, II he
was innocent, but failed to convince the
jury of his contrite professions. He
contradicted himself many times, thus
lessening his chances for escaping the
moose. Among other things he said he
a left Regain and a man he called
luke Gilligan together in front of the
Great Northern saloon, near the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific depot, after missing
the 10 o'clock train on the night of the
murder, and had not seen Regain again,
but he had met Gilligan at Anaconda on
the following day, and Gilligan had told
him he had left Regain at Stuart. He
a again met Gilligan in the Gallatin
valley, again in a coal mining camp in
Wyoming and once more in D~eadwood,
South Dakota. No one else saw Gill;
gan-no one else knew him-and the sup
position is that if such a nan existed
he Is not alive today.
After Lucey was convicted, his sister,
residing in the east, took the case in
hand and employed Attorney B. S.
Thresher to conduct negotiations for a
new trial. Mr.. Thresher went to work in

THE MAKING OF COWBELLS.

'One of the comparatively few things that the hand of improvement has not touched is the cowbell, which is made now just as it was q hundred or more years ago, and has now just the same peculiar clanking sound as ever said a bell manufacturer to Wash ington Star writer. CowDetis are made some of copper and some of com- position metal; but most of them are made of iron and finished with a coating of bronze.
 .'The cowbell is not cast; it is cut from a sheet of metal. which is folded into shape and riveted. The metal cap at the top through which the strap is passed, is riveted into the bell Cow bells are made of ten sizes, whose sounds range through an octave. Some times musical entertainers who play upon bells of one sort and another come to us and by selection among bells of various sizes find eight bells that are accurate in scale.
 'There are only four factories in the United States in which cowbells are made, and in case the. covbell is only an item of production among other things. Cowbells are sold all ever the country, just the same as ever. but much the greater number is sold in the South, the Southwest and the West, where farms are larger, less likely to be under fence and cattle are more apt to stray. American cow bells are exported quite largely to the various countries of South America, and also to Australia"

HOW MAUDE VOTED.

Maude Muller rose on election morn As proud as q kid with new tin horn, For she was to cast q vote, and she Was filled with angelic ecstasy. She felt that men were common clay As she, on that glorious woman s day. That she was the equal before the law Of any old hemale she ever saw! She could almost feel the dress of the
 hims In tubular form on her neither lbs! She dressed herself with unusual care From her dainty feet to her huffy
 hair. In a party carriage she would not
 ride: She'd walk to the polls in her man. ish pride! She started forth with a dashing
 swing, As gay as q jaybird on the wing. A miIliner's window caught her eye, And you know she could never pass
 that by! Stepped into the waiting spiders net To try on a hat; it was early yet. She spent an hour mid the fairy
 show, Then happened to think she would
 better go. Some gowns in a window lay in wait For girls who would bite at such q
 bait. She glued her nose to the polished
 pane And studied the styles again and
 again. She wondered how she would look if
 she Were dressed in such dreams of
 finery She entered the store and for half the
 day Inspected the goods in q crazy way! As the day was waning she stood
 before The flashing gems in a jewelry store; Passed on to a window filled with
 hose. And nighties and other sacred clothes! Went into an ice cream joint to get A plate or two of the frozen wet. She met a friend on the street, and
 they Swapped talk till an hour had passed
 away. Then again she hastened in graceful
 flight ..s-. To make a shy at her sacred right. But alas. as you no doubt have sup posed. She found that the mean old polls had
 closed! E.....4.... They might have known, the con demned old ser Of men, that she hadn't voted yet! They did it on purpose! It wasn't fair! They were perfectly horrid old things So there! From the Denver Evening Post

The growth of independent voting of late years has been something phe- nomenal We have been accustomed to it here in New Britain. ill local con tests, but never yet has 1J stood out so prominently in state politics. Me Lean, for instance. was something like 500 behind his ticket in this city alone, and his discrepancy in the state was about 10000. This represents q strong public sentiment, as it is generally diff ficult to get voters to scratch or paste q state ticket. They seemed to be willing, and perhaps anxious, to do so in McLeans case. however, and for many reasons it is to be regretted that they were not successful. As the Herald predicted, McLeans only hope was in the momentum or Ine ticket and this carried him through. In many other states, particularly ill New York, the Independent vote was made manifest in the returns, and it is very evident that his tribe is increasing rap idly. It is promising condition in politics.-New Britain Herald
 It sounds very nice, this talk about Independent voting, but after one con siders the amount of money that was spent in the recent campaign, he will have his doubts whether it was inde- pendent voting or how much was paid. It is still an open question as to who got it.

TAIL TRYING TO WAC THE DOG.


 Much has been said since the cleo ton Of "democratic reorganization" and few facts which are pertinent to the situation may properly be set forth at this time.
 Advocacy of reorganiza ton comes mostly from men who did not act with the existing organization at the recent election. They may have been right that question need not now be argued but they constitute only minority of those claiming to be democrats.
 Official figures are not yet at hand, but it may be said that about 100000 men voted for Bryan. and that about 500,00O who claim to be democrats voted against him. In all talk of re- organization these figures should not be overlooked. They are very perti- nent to the situation.
 1t may fairly be doubted whether the 100000 will consent to be reor- ganized by the 100000 It may also be doubted whether a reorganization which would please the latter would hold the former. There is at least a tinge of the principle of majority rule in this matter.
 Unification of the party is eminent ly desirable, but not such a uniffcation as would reduce the menbership from seven millions to half million Bridgeport Farmer.

The workingman is now face to face with the prospect of four years of the full dinner pail, and Mckinley He should not, however, become unduly elated. There are a few facts, the serious consideration of which may we'll serve to curb his en- thusiasm. In 1898 and 1899 ''Mckin. ley prosperity" reached it's highest de- and our manufacturers found ready sale for their products in tic markets Of the world. How small the increase of average incomes has been shown by of labor in the state of Massachusetts. The average amount earned by wage earnerS in 4,140 establishments was S4f9.91 in 1898. and $421.71 in 1899, gain of 1.69 per cent in 1899 over the preceding year. The average work ing hours of each employe, however, increased 2.75 per cent, which, as MT Schoenhof points out in an article in the New York Journal, lis more than an offset against the wage increase of the boom year" The average for all industries in Massachusetts in 1898 was $421; in 1899 it was $427. In wooiens' the average in 1898 was S370, and in 1898 S374. In worsteds it was $361 in 1898 and S362 in 1899. In 1895, the year in which the protection ists said "a cruel free trade tariff had destroyed our industries and had thrown labor on the pavement. sub jecting it to semi-starvation, the av- craze fors all industries was S425: in
 woolens, S370, and in worsteds $365
 industries averaged about the same" declares Mir Schoenhof, while in the worsted line they actually earned S3 more in the free trade year than in the year protected by the Dingley tar if and the woo1en trust The apolo- gists of the trusts, says Mir Schoenhof,
 would have us believe that trusts have added to the employing capacity and
 were the cause of the expansion of
 trade. ''Their creation he declares,
 had no such object in view. The
 mainsprings were entirely mercenary.
 Whatever has been done in
 the nature of cheapening of produc- tion has been done by improving the processes. The Introduction of inn proved machinery over previously em-
 ployed tools, the employment of a corps of well-organized and we'll trained helpers and an attentive eye to the markets have been the causes
 that have led to the results we are con- graduating ourselves on and not the formation of the predatory bodies we call trusts. We were inventing and improving and discarding good process es for better ones before anybody was thinking of such monstrous, u'nwieldly
 bodies to take the place of private en terprise."
