safe which stood near his table and
take from it numerous bundles of
banknotes, which he carefully packed
into q valise; he saw him take from
the same safe few richly bound
notebooks, which he proceeded to do
up in neat bundle, securely tied and
sealed.
This done, the chemist put on his
hat and coat, and was preparing to
pass out into the hallway, when
knock sounded upon the door.
Murdoch opened slightly enough
to show himself, without revealing
the presence of the other occupants
of the room.
1t was one of the housemaids.

No sooner had the girl gone than
Murdoch, selling the valise and the
package, opened the door of the eA-
tension. His eyes rested for awhile
upon his daughter, who, still absorbed
in the tender care of her inanimata
lover, was oblivious of all else. There
was in them an unusual expression
almost tender light; but the inn
passive face was otherwise emotion
less.
The chemist seemed to hesitate for
brief instant whether to speak;
then, passing out into the extension,
he softly closed the door behind him.
Sturgis alone. weak and powerless,
had seen him go.

COUNTY OFFICERS OBJECT.

The county attorney, sheriff and
county commissioners are considerably
worried over the fact that in the division
ofthe business of the district court the
criminal and insanity part has been
thrown into Department No. 3, which is
located about three blocks from the
county jail. These officers, as we'll as
a portion of the public, want the ar
rangement changed in such a way that
it will not be necessary to march dam
gerous prisoners back and forth between
the new court room and the Jail.
With this object in view the commits
sioners have addressed lengthy COM
munication to the judges, setting forth
the objections and asking for an imme-
date remedy.

The letter received by Mayor Davey

and published in Mondays Inter Noun
tain, inquiring as to the whereabouts of

the niece of McAfee and that she had
not heard from her uncle for about a
year She stated that a previous letter
to Mayor Mccarthy had given Ter The
information that McAfee had gone to the
Klondike.
McAfee was known in Butte as
"Double-Up Pete.'' He was not known
to work in Butte but was we'll liked by
those who were acquainted With him.
He had good education and was con-
sidered honest.
Pete went to the Klondike from
Butte, but after staying there short
time returned to Montana. He had been

Poundmaster Mahoney began active
operations in the dog line today and a
colored man who offciates as dog

wagon containing cage early this MORN

stray dogs without proper tags; by that

collection of dogs of all breeds, colors
and sizes.

city treasurer's office in the city nall

property from the poundmasters hands

IN THE HOTEL LOBBlES.

4 see,' said Con Bray, "that William
sturgis, that sturdy pioneer, has passed
over the Great Divide. We crossed the
plains together in '62, and tell you
that seems like long while ago to
me. Many of US, who at that time We're
IN the prime of life, have made the
last journey to that unknown land be-
ycnd the grave.
Along with others, Sturgis and went
from Bannack into what is now known
az Bray's canyon and helped build the
null known as the Pioneer saw mill. We
hfd the mill completed and were saw
Ing lumber by May 1, 1863.
Alder Gulch was discovered during
the following month and the first lum-
Der used there came from our mill.
Il was sold to William Fairweather and
BFrney Hughes and was used to con-
srruct the rockers with which old Alder
Grlch was first prospected. Later on
with OK teams I hauled from the mill
the first load of lumber ever used in
Virginia City.
-Four of my partners in the enterprise,
including Sturgis. are dead; the other
two are living in St. Paul.
"How we came to build the mill H.
Illustrates the ability of the pioneers to
utlllze the means of hand. 1t was no.
tlced by Godfrey. one of the party, in
coming across the plains that our
wagons had iron axle-trees, and he
suggested that they would make a good
crank for sawmill shaft Acting on
that suggestion, we organized a COM
1any to build sawmill."

the only pebbles when it comes to
striking. The two attractive young la
DIES who presided at the Thornton hotel
cigar stand demanded an increase in
their wages of week and finding their
emnlover finty-hearted quit work on the
spot and walked out. They had oeen re-
ceiNlns $l5 week, but thought that
amount incommensurate with the value
of their services.
The Thornton is now without a cigar
