Rendered a Splendid Programme Last
Night at Auditorium.

The clerks union and it's friends ce!e-
brated last night at the Auditorium.
The principal event to rejoice over was
their triumph in the early closing move

had opposed the early closing move
ment at the outset and are now united
with the union.
Five hundred clerks participated in the

HIS YOUTH SAVES HIM FROM A
LONGER TERM IN THE PENI-
TERTIARY.
IT WAS A COMPROMISE
DEGREE VERDICT.
Fred Waters Is Sentenced to One Year
For Having Received Stolen
Property.

Judge Clancy sentenced John O'Brien
to six years in the penitentiary to-day
for the murder of Ole Alexander Thomp-
son in this city on January 10. Under
the verdict rendered by the jury ten
years was as long as he could have been
sent up. but when the reductions of time
for good behavior are taken into con-
sideration there will not be more than
two years difference. If O'Brien be-
HAYES himself in prison he will be out
again in about four years and ten
months.
When asked by the judge if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him, O'Brien re-
manned silent, but John McClernan. one
of his attorneys, called the attention of
the court to a clause in the verdict
recommending the prisoner to the mer-
cy of the court. The judge told the
prisoner his crime was the darkest that
could be committed. You plunged a
knife into the body of Thompson and
ran away with his life,' said the judge,
but in view of your youth and the
recommendation of the jury for mercy.
I will sentence you to only six years
in the penitentiary."
O'Brien never WINGED at the sentence

soon as the ordeal was over he returned

Right after the verdict was rendered

move for new trial on the alleged
ground that in the conviction of their
client of manslaughter for having gone
into saloon. picked quarrel with
Thompson, then invited him outside and
killed him with a knife. justice had been
outraged. but it was plainly noticeable
that the attorneys said nothing about
wanting new trial. Rumor now has
it that they would not have accepted a
new deal had it been offered
for fear Of getting their man
hanged On a second trial. 1t is under
stood that SOME of the jurymen who con-
Vlcted OBrlen voted for a first degree
verdict several times. while others voted

to which the first and second degree men

never pleaded one way or another. Az

ROBERT EMMET'S ANNIVERSARY
Splendid Programme Rendered Last
Evening at Sutton's.

No theme is better adapted to the ora
tor, especially the Irish orator, than the
one recounting the eventful but unsuc-
cessful life of the youngest revolutionist
of the eighteenth century. John Ma
guire, therefore, is we'll equipped to pre-
sent the life and times of Robert EN-
met at any time John is essentially an
elocutionist and dramatist. What he
said last night at Sutton's theater, in
commemoration of the Irish hero, was
rather more picturesque than strictly
historical. All the same, it pleased the
audience better.
Last nights celebration of Robert EN-
met day in Butte was a grander event
than anything which the Celtic element
has given in years. Throughout 1t was
purely literary and musical. but the best
people enriched the programme. The en-
tertainment led off with Salute to
Erin" by the Hannah Ladies' orchestra.
The other selections comprised Tom
Moore's melodies, in which Miss Best ana
other ladies participated. A notable

LEWIS IS
STILL ALIVE
TE- WCULD-BE-SUICI SHOWS
A WONDERFUL AMOUNT OF
VITALITY.
Ills CASE, HOWEVER,
CONSIDERED HOPELESS.
&c Is Possessed Of Great Strength and
Fights Like Fiend With His
Nurses-Wife Not Located.

Charles Lewis, the carpenter who at
tempted suicide by shooting himself
twice in the head with a 32-caliber pis-
tel yesterday, is still alive, and this
morning was in the full possession of
his senses.
Between II and l. o'clock to-day the
physicians at the hospital trephined
the skull and removed the bullet which.
after passing through the head bulgeG
the skull out on the opposite side. The
result of the operation will probably not
be known for several hours but the doe
tors say that his case is almost hope
less and that he might die al any mo-
ment.
While in the possession Of his senses
this morning Lewis stated to the doe
tors that he was insane at the time OF
shooting himself: that he had period
calls fits of insanity and they affected
him differently at different times. In
the past he would steal things from his
roommate and secrete them. This is
the first time he has attempted self
destruction, and when the tit seized him
he thought that the best thing to do
was ito get to hell as fast as posi-
ble"
In regard to his domestic affairs
Lewis would have nothing to say. He
was told that he might die any moment.
but still would tell the physicians moth
ing in regard to his life.
The physicians state that Lewis has
a wonderful amount of vitality ana
strength and during spells of uncon-
seriousness he fights like fend with
the nurses. While in this condition sew
eral nurses are required to hold him
and prevent him doing further injury
to himself.
At the house where he roomed on
Montana and West Broadway. it was
learned that about three weeks ago Il
woman called at the house and asked
the landlady for Lewis, saying that she
was his wife and lived at Basin. as the
climate of Butte did not agree with her.
She volunteered the informa ton that
she owned a number of houses in Butte,
but had acquired the property before
her marriage with Lewis. The latter
was not in at the time and the lady
called later in the evening and it is be-
lieved that she saw Lewis. An effort
fas been made to locate the lady, but
so far it has been unsuccessful.

THE RAILROADS

Plans have been made for important
extensions to the St Paul system says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. The most eX-
tCnsive project is to build a line of 700
miles from Evarts. S. D., to Helena.
Mont. This line would practically pa
rallel the Northern Pacific, and the
building of it is strongly urged by the
cattle growers of that region They are
very much dissatisfied with the service
which is given them by the. Northern
Pacific, and recently sent a delegation
to the headquarters of the St. Paul COM
rany. assuring it that they would give
1t all their livestock traffic if it would
extend it's line to Helena.
The apparent intention of the Burlins-
ton to push on to the Pacific coast has
been duly considered by the st. Paul
management, and neither company is
liable to surrender any advantage to the
other. The St. Paul company is in fnan-
cial shape to warrant the early COM
mencement of work on an extension
from South Dakota into Montana. with
out interfering with the lans decided
upon for an extension from Davenport
to Ottumwa, Iowa, or with the plans of
an "air line from Duluth to the south
west, by the extension of the Mason
City line from Fort Dodge to Boone,
Iowa, and the building of a new line
from either Give or Des Moines to some
point on the present main line to Kan
sas City, probably Chillicothe, Mo.
Surveys have been made for the new
line from Davenport to Ottumwa, and
the work of construction will be conn.,
menced within ninety days. When this
road is built the st. Paul will have one
OF the shortest and best lines between
Chicago and Kansas City.
The railroads via the Missouri river
Gateways have decided to make the
same rates to North Pacific coast points
as is made by the st. Paul lines for
'''colonists." This rate is $50 from Chi
cago, and is made only on Tuesday of

The Union Pacific has announced it's

cific coast points. This rate already
enjoyed by Chicago via st. Paul, will be
effective until April l, and is of impor-
lance chiefly to Missouri and Iowa
points.

The reason assigned by the officials of
the Great Northern for the discharge
Of Jap engine wipers at Hillyard, Leav-
enworth, Skyhomish, Kalispell and other
round houses along the line in WASH
ington. is that it has been the custom
of the company to promote engine wip-
ers to tiremen, and while Japs are re-
garded as efficient wipers, they are not
adapted to the service on the engines,
either as firemen or engineers to which
latter position they would stand in line
of promotion.
