We Sprinu From Mud.

A good deal of pleasure seems to
have been ELECTED by the proofs
which German professor has made
public to show that we are not de-
scended from apes. 1t would seem
that the apes branched off from the
direct line of descent about the time
that we did, and that they are, conse-
quently, our cousins good many
times removed and not our remote
grandfathers. Personally it is matter
of perfect Indifference to me whether
descend from an ape or whether
the ape is only my cousin. During
the period that covers the life of a
planet, or, suppose, of star, there
is a comparatively brief period when
the heat and humidity produce vege
tation, and the outcome of yageta
tion is animal life, if, indeed, there
is any clear line of demarkation he
tween animal and vegetable life. We
and the apes alike descend from pro
toplasmic mud, one of the most re
cent discoveries being that all mole
cules are selfcontained electric
battery.

OF Murder In the Second Degree
Regan on Trial.
Great Falls, Dec. 1O.-The Prescott
murder trial came to an end today.
The jury after being out 48 hours re-
turned verdict of murder in the
second degree, leaving punishment to
the discretion of the court. Today for
the first time during the progress of
the trial, the defendant lost his self
possession, and at that point in the ar
gument where Attorney Downing re-
ferred to the deceased wife of Pres
colt as the person who fired the shot
which killed Anderson, the prisoner
gave way and bowed in grief. A mo-
tion for new trial was made by the
attorneys for the defense, and if de-
MED the case will be carried to the
supreme court. Sentence will be
passed Friday.
The trial of James Regan on 4
charge of murder in the first degree
for the killing of Val Kennedy at Cas-.
cade last September, will commence
in the district court tomorrow morn.

matter to secure jury.

The Same Old Pair HoIdup a Saloon.
Butte, Dec. 1O.-Great excitement
was created this morning by averit-
able fusilade of bullets in saloon run
by George York, at 1923 East Park
street Early this morning York and
a party of friends were sitting in the
saloon, at a table, playing cards, sud-
denly two men entered. They were the
irrepressible "long and short" men.
The long man brought a revolver 20
bear and commanded the persons 20
throw up their hands, while the short
man stood by with his hand on a gun.
York happened to have a pistol in his
pocket, and quickly drew it out and
he fired two shots, and then the long
man began to shoot, firing became
general, and it is estimated that at
least a dozen shots were fired. Fortu-
nately no one was killed by the bul.
lets. The highwaymen left the place
hurriedly, apparently having emptied
their revolvers. They secured no
booty.

IN THE LEGISLATURE
Contests Now On in Flathead, Carbon.
Deer Lodge and Ravalli
Counties.

Hamilton, Dec. 1O.-Following the
Carbon county case, the Clark people
have invaded Ravalli county and this
afternoon papers were filed in the Of
flee Of the district court against the
election Of Messrs. Baggs and Conner,
republican representatives elected,
and who have received their certifi-
Gates. They are contested by Messrs.
Landrum and Flowers, fusion candi-
dates for the legislature. In the
election the count showed that Baggs
had 731, Corners, 6S3; Landrum, $50;
Flowers, 62S; while Bath, Independ-
ent democrat received 495 and Seely,
Independent Democrat, 476. The
grounds of the contest, as they appear
in the papers filed, are several. One
is that there was illegal registration in
some districts. Another that coercion
was used in several precincts, notably
in Hamilton south, in which the main
Independent strength was polled. An
other is that by reason of the Indepen-
dent Democratic county ticket having
been placed on the regular democratic
ticket by the supreme court, many
were fooled by workers at the polls
into believing that the democratic
ticket contained Landrum's and Flow
er's names and SO voted for Hatch and
Seely instead of Landrum and Flow
ers as they intended, by placing a
cross in the democratic circle instead
OF voting the populist ticket on which
Landrum and Flowers were. Walter M.
Bickford was here Saturday night and
in connection with r. Lee MCCULLOUGH,
fixed up the contest.

WATER FAMINE,
Butte Water Supply In Danger Of
Giving Out.

Giving Out.
Butte, Dec. 1O.-Butte is threatened
with a water famine and the water
company admits that the situation is
serious. Today Superintendent Car
roll of the water company, said "You
can say for us that the situation is IN
deed serious. In the first place, the
present water supply is inadequate
for the needs of the city and surround
ings. 1t was for this reason that the
company was forced into the hands of
receiver. We have done our best
to secure water enough to tide over
the present crisis, but we will be for.
tunate if serious trouble does not en-
sue before our new supply is available
The reason for the present shortage
is the increased consumption and an
other reason is the falling off OF the
natural supply is fully 20 per cent less
than it has ever been before at this
time of the year. These and other
reasons render it extremely difficult
to secure water sufficient to supply the
city. The water that is being sup
piled is unhealthy and people are ad
vised to boil it before using it for
drinking purposes.
