Judge.
Mr.. Maury replied that his client had
asked for a Jury, but he was willing TO

Jim Powell, who managed the Butte
baseball team in 1892, was last night
made temporary manager of the pennant
winners, and candidates for positions on
the team will at nee comuence prelim-
mary training under Jim Powells direc-
ton.
1t is possible that Mr.. Powell's connec-
ton with the team will last only until
I'M l. He has business interests in
the Bitter Root valley which may de-
mand his attention at the end of this
month, in which event a new manager
will be chosen to succeed him.. The di-
%rectors, realizing the need of immediate
work, prevailed upon Mr.. Powell to take
the place, with the understanding that
if it became necessary for him to sever
his connection with the team on June /
he could do so.
Local players who desire positions on
the team can find him at his rooms in
the Ellsworth block every afternoon until
2 o'clock. After that time he will be on
the baseball grounds. 1t is the purpose
of the directors to try out all the prom

show the most proficiency.
Jack Flannery telegraphed his terms
20 the directors yesterday. The direct
ors feel that they cannot pay him the
salary he asks. Negotiations are still
pending, however.

A CHlNAMAN'S RASH ACT.
Will Be Arrested For Tearing Down
Constable's Notice.

A warrant was issued today for the
arrest of Hum Fay, one of the mandarins
of local Chinatown. Hum Fay is charged
by Attorney Carroll Dolman with having
interfered with the process of Judge
Nichols court by tearing down a notice
of constables' sale of property owned by
Hum Fay.
About two months ago a Chinaman
was found dead near Dewey's Flat He
was Hum Fay's friend, and Hum Fay,
suspecting foul play, started an investi-
cation. He went to Dillon and engaged
the services of Frank Lingenfelter, an
attorney of that city, and the two spent
several days looking up clues. but with
out result. When the attorneys bill was
presented Hum Fay refused to pay. His
friend was dead and his ardor had cooled.
Lingenfelter brought suit in Judge
Nichols court and recovered Judgment
for $3.50, and in the due process of law
certain property of Hum Fay was adj
vertised, by posting, for sale. AS last as
the constable would post the notices
Hum Fay would tear them down, hence
this complaint.
The penalty for this ffense is $500 fine
or three months IT. Jail, or both.
