sight at Lakeview, near Dillon, and
there are circumstances in connection
with the case that cause hints of foul
play to be made.
Harry Thomas, also of Butte, with
whom Horgan was more or less init
mately associated, has also disappeared.
He was seen after Horgan had dropped
out of sight, and it is believed he can
throw light upon the whereabouts of the
latter.
Horgan came here from Butte some
time ago, says Lakeview correspond
ent, and located a claim in the Alaska
basin, 80 miles from Monida. After
making the location he returned to
Butte, and came back again in Septen1-
Der bringing with him a young man
who gave his name as Harry Thomas.

We're seen by neisIhbors to leave their
cabin in the morning and take the
county road and then turn down to the
lake.
In the afternoon Thomas returned
alone and asked +. Hanson to take him
up to the cabin, saying tnat Horgan had
gone to Butte.
After reaching the cabin he changed
his mind for some reason and returned
to Hansons where he remained all
night.
In the morning he took the stage and
went to Monida and presented on order
on B. II. Paul for some money that Mr'

Another curiosity in the possession Of

Death Watch Set.
1T was only few hours before he was
to be hanged and the death watch had
already been set on him.
The woman came to see him with a
bouquet Of flowers in her hand. and one
of the watchmen noticed that some sort
of white powder was scattered upon the
blossoms.
He confiscated the flowers, and sent
them to the Army Medical Museum,
where it was found that they contained
enough arsenic to kill three men.
By chewing them the prisoner might
easily have swallowed enough of the
poison to kill him.
The government received an offer Of
$4,000 cash from the proprietor of a
dime museum for Guiteau's body. the

promptly dug up again at the request Of
the physicians and conveyed secretly to
the Ford's Theater building. at that time

Warden j. Warren Mead today con-
ferred with Electrician Davis ana the
keepers and guards who will assist In
the execution, and the program was
carefully gone over.
Warden Mead has selected his assist
ants from among the prison employees
who have had the widest experience in
executions.
It is expected the prison officials will
use every precaution to prevent Czolgosz
from talking in the death chamber, it
being their desire that everything he
may wish to say be said in the con-
demned cell.
Czolgosz Refuses to Talk.
The prisoners attitude is reported as
unchanged. Apparently he does not de-
sire to see any one and declines to talk,
except in monOsyllables.
For two days a brother in law of the
condemned man has been seeking per-
mission to see him, and in order to have
him identified the warden went to the
prisoner and asked him If he could de-
scribe his brother-in-law. He replied:
II did not see my sister married and
I don't know the man."

The bones of Guiteau. preserved in like
fashion, have been stored away at WASH

They are not on exhibition because It
is not desired to excite a morbid cu-

been murdered seventeen years and two
months previously.
Guteau's ghost is said to haunt the
district Jail to this day. and many of the
prisoners in that penal institution are
much afraid of it.
Almost Frightened to Death.
On one occasion a negro. occupying
the assassn's cell, was almost fright

cell across the corridor: who slowly
rolled marbles. one after another, into
the little brick-walled room which the
murderer of Garfield had inhabited.
The mysterious sounds were too much
for the nerves of the victim of the joke,
and he was found by the guards in
condition of collapse.
The body of Wilkes Booth was not
skeletonized. However, before he was
buried at the district jail thorough au-
topsy was performed.
Three vertebrae of his neck was pre-
served, and these are now on exhibition
at the Army Medical Museum. with a
steel bodkin thrust through the hole to
show the course of the bullet which was

The ball struck Booth on the right side
of the neck and plowed its way directly
through the spinal cord.
OF course, the wounded man was en-
tirely paralyzed. and the records of the
case show that he survived the injury
only few hours.
Also, there is exhibited, on the same
shelf with the vertebrae. a piece of the
injured spinal cord of the assassin, pre-
served in alcohol.

and took away their watches and othec
valuables on the spot. Miss Stone had
about so lire Turkish with her. Then
they led off Miss Stone and Nine, Tsilka,

When daybreak came we saw that the
guard had vanished, and we went to
Nahomia.
"The brigands spoke only Turkish. On
the day after my arrest in Mahomia I
was taken before the kadi, who urged
me to say that the brigands were Bull
garians. This I refused to do, because
] did not wish to perjure myself. Then
they put me on the ground and beat me
with rods and kicked me until I was
unconscious.
Men Are Massacred.
ION the next day the Turkish soldiers
surrounded all the wood cutters in the
mountains of Gradevsko and massacred
the men, while the women and children

The Post quotes the refugee as saying:
I'm the town Of Gradevo, Is townsmen
were arrested and driven in chains to
Djumay, where they were put to fearful
tortures in prisons. In the village of
Sudbinovo peasants were seized and
their feet placed in vices. After each

of Short Duration.
The mines of the Amalgamated COM

day, in order to prevent an overprOduc-
ton of ore while needed repairs were be-

Quite a number of men were idle dur

When a corporation working several
mines suspends operations temporarily
it means only a cessation of the extrac-
ton of ore.

White over a week ago, stating that the
alleys and back yards must be cleaned I'm

winter is not being pushed with any Wig
or. In fact, there has not been hand
turned in the way of removing the de-
caying rubbish from the yards and alleys
in the upper Or business part of the
city since the notices We're given.
Some Of the yards and alleys are in
very filthy condition; the stencil arising
from them is nauseating and threatens
the destruction of lives by breeding dis
ease. The notices demanding that the
yards be cleaned were not dated, and
perhaps for that reason the work that
should have been started week ago has
been put off.
The health authorities believe this is
the season to rake up and haul away all
rubbish, and while the weather is favor
able the work should not be delayed.
