Bruder. the Butte brewer who was
found dead near the Oregon Short Line
railroad track at Dillon yesterday. 1t
appears that Bruder's death was due to
natural causes. He had complained OF
stomach and kidney trouble for some
time and the coroner's jury returned a
verdict that death resulted from heart
disease.
Herman Muller and Hans Cersidz of
Butte went to Dillon yesterday and
were present at the inquest. They testl-
fled that Bruder had stopped over at
Dillon on his way back form Salt Lake
City to see ]. l.. Weiser. proprietor OF
the Dillon brewery. with whom Bruder
had worked for some time. While at
that place he became i'll and probably
died suddenly.
In Bruder's pockets We're found $50
and a certificate of deposit for $S1S on a
Butte bank. His remains will be brought
to Butte for burial.

to Strangers and They Take
His Watch.

A. H. Halthusen opened his heart and
turned his meal ticket over to two
strangers yesterday evening. For his
kindness he was relieved of his gold
watch, the chain having been cut with
a knife and the time piece extracted
while the meal ticket was being re-
turned.
Halthusen, who is miner. encount-
cred two strangers on the street. He
gave over his meal ticket and waited
until the men had finished their meal.
The men then returned the ticket and
asked for the price OF bed This. Hal

strangers disappeared.
Shortly afterwards the miner noticed
that he had lost his watch and notified
the police department to that effect. The
men were located in a crib in the bad
lands endeavoring to dispose of the
watch. They were arrested.

At a joint meeting of engineers and

CARB0LIc ACID CAUSED DEATH
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the
Case of Thomas Coombs Of
Ceuterville

1t was not determined at the inquest
held yesterday by Coroner ohnson. over
the remains Of Thomas Coombs of Cen
terville, whether the deceased died from
the effects of poison administered with
suicidal intent or by mistake. The jury.
however. found a verdict that death was
caused by carbolic acid.
George ID. Hazellett, the roommate
of the dead man at the Mullen house in
Centerville, testified that he roomed
with Coombs but few weeks. He met
Coombs at 1880 o'clock in front Of sa-
loon in VAUDEVILLE but had no CONVEX
sation with him. When he went to his
room he thought Coombs was intoxi-
Gated and paid very little attention to
him. Hazellett said he then went to
bed and upon awaking at 2 o'clock he
noticed a strong odor in the room. He
had talked with Coombs once about
their financial troubles and he noticed
that Coombs was crying and sobbiing
afterwards.
1t was not disclosed where the de-
ceased secured the acid and no botG:e
containing such drug was found in the

HATCH HELD UP A BARTENDER

A man who says his proper name is
Thomas Hatch has pleaded guilty to a
charge of robbery and will be sentenced
by Judge McClernan tomorrow.
Six or seven weeks ago Hatch and a
partner attempted to hold up the bar
tender in German Brothers saloon at
431 South Arizona street, but Policeman
Frank Mcdonald caught Hatch while
the latter was transferring cash from
the register to his capacious pockets.
Hatch's friend escaped.
When arrested, Hatch gave his name
as Thomas Adams. Subsequently it was
learned that he had served three years
in the Colorado penitentiary, and it was
the fear of a double sentence for the
robbery and prior conviction that caused
him to plead guilty to the present charge
against him.

JULY 4TH
ENTHUSIASM
LACKING
PEOPLE OF BUTTE NOT TAX
/ ING ANY ENERGETIC
STEPS.
Citizens Must Wake Up and Take Ac-
ton at Once, if There Is to Be
Real Celebration, Says a Mer-
chant Who Wishes to See
the Day Observed.

"If Butte is going to have anything
more than a fire cracker Fourth of July.
the people have got to wake up, and dig
Up, too, in very short order" said WELL
knewn merchant this morning. From
the general lack of interest shown when
the committees start out on their
pounds, one might infer that Butte was
Inhabited by Hottentots. or some other
benighted race, to whom the Fourth of
Uuy was no more than any other day.
1t is estimated that the celebration
committee should be assured of at least
$4,000 in order to carry out their plans,
while only one-fifth of that amount has
been secured. There is a subcommittee
of one alderman and two citizens in
each ward to solicit funds, and it is
to be hoped that by Monday some better
showing may be made
Only fifteen members We're present at
tn committee meeting last night, and
little could be done, save to urge all to
greater activity in the way of stirring
up enthusiasm. 1t was urged by some
that the Fourth of July might we'll go
by the board this year, on account OF
possible interference with the street
carnival later in July, but a motion to
that effect was voted down with en-
thusiasm.
Major Dawson, of the transportation
committee. reported that he had secured
a one and one-third rate on all the rail-
roads entering Butte from points within
200 miles of the city.
The question Of holding up the saloon
men and brewers for what is considered
their proper apportionment was also dis
cussed. As they are the chief gamers
by the big celebration. when all other
business houses are shut up, it was felt
that they should come down handsomely
in order to make the celebration a sue
cess. A special committee was appointed
to solicit from them.

A swarm of bees has made hive Of

pounds of the sweets have been taken
out within the last week by Mrs. Carter.
who says it is the most, delicious honey
she ever tasted. This represents but
small portion of the store which the
bees, to Mrs. Carter's own knowledge,
have been accommodating for more than
three years.
So far it has all been taken from ono
Or two sections of space between the
ioists, while the others are believed tn
be equally we'll packed. The bees made
valiant defense of their stronghold,
and were only driven out eventually
when the fumes Of sulphur were blown
upon them.
The Carriers live in a handsome three
story and basement brick at No. 1882
Stoughton street, and their neighbors
have besought Mrs. Carter to let the
bees remain and supply them with
honey.
Mrs. Carter thinks there arp severa
hundred pounds Of the sweet stuff under
the floor, but she intends to allow it tt
remain awhile. She has allowed the bees
to return to the house and enjoy them
selves.
