will close his place of business in a few
days and remove to Helmville. in the

distant from several promising mining
camps and the great Big Blackfoot Lum-
Der company, which is a supply point for
these districts. There is no greater place
in Montana to hunt during the open e a

A BROKEN LEG.

At 4 o'clock this morning Con Dineen
slipped on the sidewalk on Main street
and broke a leg below the. knee. This
was the story told by the unfortunate
man, who was discovered by Night Chief
of Police Frank O'Brien a short time
after the accident happened. He was
found in front of the NJ. & NJ. saloon, at
the corner of Main n Commercial ave
nue.. From the condition in which he
was found and the exact location, nane-
ly, near the edge of the sidewalk. it is
believed he must have walked or slipped
off the walk on account of being too near
the edge. He was at once removed to ST.
AIMS hospital, where the fracture was
reduced. Dineen is an old-timcr around
Anaconda, and is said to have had his
other leg broker a ear or two ago. and
spent nearly a year in the hospital. A
short time g he was arrested, found
guilty and sentenced to a term in the

MARRIAGE NOT A FAILURE,

Yesterday and last evening was la
dies day at the --naconda Catholic club
rooms, 1t being the third Thursday of the
month which is the regular ladies day.
The event Of last evening, a debate was
almost an informal affair. There were,
however, about $50 ladies present, includ-
ing the members of the l.. G. B. A.
who came in a body. The fore part of
the evening was given over to cards. As
promised a debates: Resolved. That in
this part of the world, under present cir
cumstances. it is better for a man to re-
main single and to die a bachelor than
to enter the matrimonial state" was held.
Owing to a night session of the district
court and other business many of the
principal debaters were unable to be pres
emit. The Affirmative side of the question
was opened and C osed by Rev. c. G. Fol-
let and the negative size by Mr.. Joseph
McCaffery. Jr. The argument of each
speaker were we'll calculated to arous
the other. MI. McCaffery's description
of married e in a happy home was we'll
drawn and called forth several bursts Of
applause. Father Follett and Mr.. D. Fl.
Morgan who supported him drew some
fanciful pictures of a bachelors life
which caused considerable laughter. Mr..
McCaftery was supported by T. F.. MUIR
ply. Vincent McMullen, Mrs. James P.
Foley, Mrs. r. J.. Fleming. Miss Mary A.
Mclaughlin and Miss Nellie Shea. The
winning side of the debate was declared
to be in favor of married life by an al
most unanimous vote of all present.

Being Presented in PerSinger
Murder Trial.
NIGHT SESSION WAS HELD
And a Great Deal of Evidence Given.
Men Who Testified Yesterday
in the Matter.

Thu event of yesterday in the Persinger
murder case was the refusal of Olive
Benson, an associate in the same crime
of which the defendant is charged. to
testify. Benson was on last October
sentenced to 10 years in the pen. Clinton
Dotson, the third associate and chief con-
spirator in the crime. was found guilty
and sentenced to 80 years. Attorneys
Walsh & James Were counsel for Benson
and upon their advice, it is claimed, Ben
son would not testify yesterday. He vas
sworn as a witness-that is the clerk re-
peated the oath-whereupon Benson said
he would not testify and was true to his
word.
Attorney Trippet made an extended
and vigorous argument to the court, de-
manding that, if the witness was to tes-
tify, the court instruct him that what he
would say would be used against him.
Mr.. Trippet's argument was hat the fact
that Benson has been allowed to plead
guilty to manslaughter is not a bar to flu
ture prosecution and that. if he gave tes-
timony duplicating himself. some future
prosecuting attorney might indlct him..
Deputy Sheriff Chapman of Gallatin
ant testified as to certain conversa-
tions with the prisoners in the Bozeman
Jail and also at the wagon where the ex-
animation of garments of the prisoners
took place.
Geo. Kessinger of Washington gulch
testified as to a wagon passing his place
on the night OF Aug. s 1899. A few days
before it had rained. He could easily
detect the tracks as being made " a
wagon with a rooke wheel driven via
Blackfoot City toward Helena. He was
a member of the posse which hunted and
found Cullinane's body. A pair of
shoes wele on the body and the front Of
his clothes were in disorder, his shirts
being pulled up from his pants. There
We're shoe tracks near the body. Witness
was shown two pair of shoes, one a point
ed toed pair and the other a broad toed
shoe, which he testified would make
tracks similar to the tracks near the body
which was buried in a natural gulley.
The body was taken out of the hole and
conveyed to Washington gulch where an
inquest was held by Acting Coroner
Glover who saw the remains before they
We're removed. He saw a covered wagon
in that vicinity the latter part of July.
Dotson had possession of the wagon.
Cullinane's body was found Aug. II.
Deputy Sheriff Tom Mullen took he
stand after Kessinger and described his
trail of the wobble wheeled wagon and
evidence of crime near the point where
the murder was committed.
Jacob A. Yund. the He,ena pawnbrok-
err, came next He old how he had sold
the famous watch to Cullinane Aug. l,
1896, at Helena for $50. The watch in
evidence was presented to the witness,
who identified it. Mr.. Yund also gave
from his records the numbers on case
and works.
An evening session was held during
which time Dump Moore, who acted as
driver Of Deputy Sheriff Robinson. on the
day Dotson, Benson and Persinger were

spouse was. "A savage doesn't wear any
thing except hair and a feather stuck in
it,"
A class that was being examined in
