dressing the attorney, said:
You ought to be kicked out Of the
window, and you would be II you had
not the majority Of this committee
behind you"
Here Lentz attempted 10 read from
previous testimony concerning the inn
proper conduct Of deputies. Chairman
Hull overruled this course. This fur
ther nettled Lentz, and addressing
Hull, he exclaimed:
II want to say In your teeth that II
you are a party to protecting this at
t6rney in lie. you are a party to IT,"
Amid much confusion. Hull declared
that Lentz had insulted the commit
tee and It's members as far as he
could, and 1t would have to stop. Hay
arose to say that the attorney had
better not give the lie to him, and Cox
said: III any man insults me, III hit
him" Lcntz asked the chairman Why
he did not call the attorney to order.
"ffe was out Of order, entirely out Of

said that when the attorney accused

Cox. either he or / goes out OF the

means OF protecting the committee
lle would move that the attorney be
expelled from the committee room.
Many members were on their feet
trying to secure recognition, when
Jett made his motion. Before taking
action, the committee gave Cheney an
opportunity to be heard. He explained
that he did not intend to say that
Lentz had told a falsehood. but sim
ply to deny the statement that the
Idaho deputies lived with disreputable
women. He apologized for any mis-
apprehension. Cox remarked that a
man must either fight or apologize
in such a case" and the apology set
tied it. Jett withdrew his motion for
expulsion, and the outbreak was
brought to a close.

testimony. He said he had frequently

It is learned from an excellent diplo-

II law providing for the appointment
or another Judge in the district court Of
thls county is not enacted at the next
meeting of the Legislature some of the
civil suits scheduled for trial in Judge
Slancy's department are likely to remain
on the calendar for an indefinite period.
Judge Cancy is extremely favorable to
the passage OF such law as it is his
desire to devote the most of his time to
the trial of criminal cases A new cal
endar of civil actions for his depart
ment has just been made up 1t shows
that there are 800 cases of this nature
awaiting trial and some of them are
not of recent date. One has been on
tap fourteen years and seems to be
about as far from trial as ii ever was.
Others are nearly as old. The num-
Der is increasing every day, and it is
commencing to look as if those Of recent
filling would not face the barrier for
many years to come unless the pro-
posed law fos another judge is enacted.
The parties to some of the actions do not
care If their suits never come to trial,
hut others are anxious to adjust their
differences as speedily as possible.
Their cases however, must take their
turn. few of the parties to these
suits are paying out considerable sums Of
money each month as alimony and
interest, and their business affairs are
so tied UP ana hampered by the suits
that they do not know where they are.
The fall session of department was
closed few days ago without even one
civil case being tried. About the middle
of next month Judge Clancy will again
convene his department and begin the
trial of criminal cases now at issue, and
by the time he finishes these set the
summer vacation will be crowdng him
for recognition.

LECTURE ON THEOSOPHY.
Charles w. Leadbeater Spoke to a
Small Audience at Auditorium.

CharlessW. Leadbeater, the eminent
English theosophist. delivered an inter-
eslipg lecture at the Auditorium last
night, his subject being What Theoso-
ply Does For U.s.
He asked no one to blindly accept the
religion OF theosophy, but to study it for
himself, and all sciences are built
upon hypothesis to put theosophy upon
that basis; the same basis upon which
one accepts the demonstrations of as
tronomy and the known facts of cleo
tricity. By doing SO one could see how
near it comes to the most rational hypo-
thesis of the real truth.
Mr. LeadOeater was introduced by A.
B. Keith of Helena. who spoke briefly
upon the subject of theosophy and paid
high compliment to the speaker of the
evening. Mr.. Leadbeater in introducing
his subject stated that theosophy meant
divine wisdom and the students of it
held it to be the truth in relation to the
soul. life and immortality of man. The
object of the theosophical propaganda
today is the nucleus of the universal
brotherhood OF man.
The lecturer believed that the great
problem of man-4what he is. whence he
came and whittier he is going. is more
ia ilOIdES eNIldiiltu ny tllpoSDpHS tldn
by other religions. He said that the
statement that man could kn-w nothing
of the future life was absurd. for the
whole of the world on the other side is
thoroughly we'll known to the men of the
higher clairvoyant faculty. That those
who have passed from the earth are not
dead but living, and are very much more
alive than those who remain.
hos &c ba Sal
great cardinal truths, the first of which
is that God is good. The second is that
man is immortal. and the third is that
as we SOW, SO shall we reap. Theoso-
phists, he said, know that God is good
from actual investigation and demon
straton. Happenings in the world seem
ed to deny the goodness of God. but
higher students know that these things
are part of the great eternal plan of
ultimate good. The fear OF death and
the uncertainty Of the after life is a terri
BILE dread to the majority of men, said
Mr.. Leadbeater. Theosophists have no
fear of DEATH and this robbed life of
uncounted moments of anguish. The
osophy teaches the widest liberation of
ali religious beliefs and enables one to
hate the sin and not the sinner. The
osophy teaches that mans duty is not
wholly done by the suppression of out
ward manifestations of evil. but requires
the suppression of evil thought. Thought
radiates from the mind of man and af-
fects others for good or evil equally as
do actions. He closed by urging every
one to be a fellow worker with God.
which is the highest mission and possi-
bility Of man.
AT the conclusion of his address, Mr..
Leadbeater received tie congratula tions
of many who remained behlnd for the
purpose of meeting the noted lecturer.
The lecturer is a native of England ana
is the author of many metaphysical
works which have become the standard

MEAGHER CASE DISMISSED.
But Another Complaint Was Issued
Charging Him With same Crime.

The preliminary hearing in the case of
the state against David Meagher, cnarg-
ed with assault in the first degree on
Jerry Sullivan on the night of November
b, was to have taken place in Justice
Nlcho.s' court yesterday afternoon, but
when it was called the county attorney
asked for continuance on the ground
that the complaining witness had been
compelled to go to Philadelphia to un-
derEo treatment for the injury inflicted
upon him by Meagher and therefore
oouli not be present. The attorney for
the defendant insisted upon the case be-
ing heard or dismissed and an argument
on the motion for continuance resulted.
AT its conclusion he justice refused to
grant the motion ana the charge was dis
missed.
Today, however, a new complaint was
filed against Meaghcr and l.e will have
to appear in court once more to an
swer for the Offense. The new COM
plant charges him With the same degree
of crime, assault in the first degree.

According to the story told by wit

dispute arose and Werlen is alleged to
have hit Perry on the head with a NAL
let. Perry was then kicked out on the
sidewalk and knocked down, and an
eye witness states that Carleyon then
commenced to kick him in the side.
Perry was picked up in an unconscious
condition and taken to the jail where
he remained unconscious for several
hours. He was attended by DIR. Alex
ander, but his injuries are not supposed
10 be of a serious character.
Perry had been drinking, and this fact
may in a measure account for the heavy
stupOr in which he remained SO long.

A TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE
TWO BUTTE MEN BLOWN UP BY
AN EXPLOSION OF GIANT
POWDER.
WERE PROSPECTING IN
THE HILLS NEAR BERNICE.
Cne Of the Injured Men Crawled Half
Mile on Hands and Knees
to Secure Help.

Two Finlanders, one of whom is
known as Leander Michael, Were blown
up by an explosion of giant powder, in
cabin near Bernica last night and both
so seriously injured that one is not eN-
pected TO recover and the other will be
crippled for life.
Inc men are residents of Butte. They
left here several days ago to prospect in
the hills around Bernce Four or five
miles southwest Of Bernice they found
an unoccupied cabin and as it was in
good condition and had Il stove in it they
took possession.
Last night was the first time they hal
occasion to build 4 fire in the stove. 1t
had been b .irning only a few SECONDS
when there vas a terrific explosion and
both men ere blown out Of the cabin
Michael who was less seriously injured
than his companion recovered conscious
ness after a lite time, and crawled half
a mile to the county road leading to the
Loc,shart ranch. He gave out when he
reached the road and being unable to
crawl further, he commenced shouting
for help
1t was half an hour before William
Holmes, Charles Hoadey and some 9th
er men who We're in a cabin half a mile
away, heard and responded. Some of the
men carried Michael to the cabin of
Holmes, while the others went after his
partner who was also taken to Holmes
cabin. The men were given such atten-
tion as was possible there and were then
brought to the city and taken to ST.
James hospital.
Michael can speak but little English
and his partner none, and it was with
difficulty he made his rescuers under
stand, when they came to him, what had
happened and that he had q partner
whom ne had left behind. Michael has
not been able to make those around him
understand What the name of his COM
panion is. AS none of the friends of the
men have called at the hospital as yet.
The identity OF the one has not been
learned.
Both men were terribly cut by the fly
ing pieces of tn broken stove and some
of the pieces of iron We're imbedded
deep into the flesh. Both are in a crit
cal condition, hut it is thought Micnaels
will recover. But little hope is entertain
ed for his partner.
1t is supposed that whoever occupied
the cabin before M;chaels ana his part
ner. put the powder in the stove, possi-
bly, to thaw it, ana forgot to take it out.
The cabin was wrecked beyond repair.
