An Old Brute in Walkervile Accused Of Out
raging Thirteen -Year-Old Girl.
TO CONCEAL The H|DEOUS CRIME
He Sets Fire to the Cabin in which the Girls Body Lay
Narrowly Escapes Lynchng at the Hands of
An Angry Mob.

city marshal, who had been working
on the fire, considered it good policy
to place Warne under arrest and get
him out of the way. He arrested
the old man and deputized another
man to take care of him while he fin
ished the work CT extinguishing the
fire.
When the fire was out and the
body of the girl brought out, the
feeling against Warne became in
tense, and it was with some difficult
ty that the marshall succeeded in get
ting him out Of the way of the infur-
lated crowd.
Warne was brought to Butte and
lodged in the county Jail, the mar
shall arriving at the Jail with him
shortly after o'clock.
While the fire was burning the child
to death it is alleged that Warne
made statement to some of the
neighbors of how the affair happened.
He is alleged to have said that yes
terday she visited him and he told
her that today would be his pay day
and if she would call after he receiv-
ed his pay he would give her a nickel.
She had called as requested and as
he didn't produce the promised coin
she had started to put her hand into
his pocket. Near them was gaso-
line stove which he used in the prepar-
atiion of his meals, also as a means of
keeping himself warm, and in trying
to prevent her from searching his
pockets the stove was upset. He had
then picked up the stove and carried
it out of doors, but the burning gasp
line had run from it and ignited the
interior of the cabin, the child's cloth
ing included. When he attempted
to re-enter the place, the whole inter-
ior was mass of flames.
There are quite a number in Walk
erville who doubt this story, and
strongly intimate that Warne Grimm
ally assaulted the child and then set
fire to the place in order to conceal
his crime.
The position of the body of the lit
tie one when found would serve to
bear out this assumption. It was ly-
ing on Warne's sleeping couch, just
as if death had overtaken her in
sleep.
Another circumstance which
strengthened this belief is the fact
that the child made no outcry, or if
she did none heard it, although there
are residences within 80 feet from
the cabin.
The angry crowd were preparing to
lynch Warne when some officers, with
Sheriff Furay in command hustled him
off and out of the city, taking him to
the Jail in Anaconda where he is
strongly guarded.
An examination of the dead girls
remains by DR.. Norcross, today, dis.
closed fractured skull and other
evidences of murder after nameless
crime had been committed.
The inquest will be held today and
an autopsy to ascertain from the con.
dition of the lungs whether the girl
was dead before the burning of the
cabin or was suffocated by the fire
and smoke.

Special Dispatch to the Bee:

Butte, April John Warne, aged
" years, is accused of outraging the
person of Eveline Blewett, then crush
ing her skull and setting fire to his
cabin where the alleged outrage was
committed, burning the child to death.
Whether Warne is responsible for
the horrible death of the little girl is
not positively known, but the circum-
stances Of the affair place him in an
unenviable position before the public.
Warne has been employed by the
Butte Water company as watchman
for about ten years, and since the
construction of the new reservoir in
East Walkerville has been doing duty
as watchman there. At one side
of the enclosure he had cabin which
he occupied alone.
According to stories related at
Walkerville has been in the habit
of inviting little girls in the neighbor-
hood to visit him at intervals. This
has been going on for year or more
notwithstanding the fact that he has
been frequently taken to task by some
Of his acquaintances for it, and warned
OF the consequences that might befall
him if he continued the work.
Saturday evening little Eveline
Blewett visited him. When she en-
tered his portals she was strong,
healthy child, but when she emerged
her body was burned to crisp, and
although she walked into the place of
her own accord she was carried ont
in the strong arms of man, with
not a spark of life remaining in her
body. The cabin was then practi-
cally in ashes and near it's remains
stood Warne and few men who had
been attracted to the scene by the
flames.
The first intimation the neighbors
had of the conflagration and the fact
that the little girl was being roast.
ed to death in the flames was when
Warne himself called upon the family
of George Mcleod, residing only a
few yards south, and notified the mem
bers that his place was on fire and that
the child was inside.
Mcleod was in bed at the time, but
as soon as he learned of the fire he
hurriedly donned his clothes and car.
ried some water to the burning struc-
ture. When he arrived there he
found a man named Dunston endeav.
oring to fight the flames.
An alarm was sent to the city fire
department and the fire fighters turn
ed out, but were unable to accomplish
much because of the distance of the
cabin from the nearest hydrant, but
the flames had gained such headway
that there was no possibility of saw
ing either the child or the cabin
AS soon as the fact became appar
ent the attention of the men turned
to Warne and demand made upon
him for an explanation of the occur
renee. He gave none, and Robert
Thomas, one of the crowd, threw him
down the hill at the top of whicl. the
cabin stood. Some one else threw q
pail of water on him and another
shouted Lynch hir,."

1t strikes the new conner here
as a funny and risky business
when he learns that titles to lots
on which fine brick buildings are
going up are only in quit claim,
yet such is the case. The fact is
that a person is perfectly safe in
building on a lot but he must
stay bere long enough to become
educated to the fact that he is
safe. Possession is ownership,
and when the appraisement is
complete the title will be made.
1t strikes the stranger as queer
proceeding just the same.

ALDEN. ARABIA. Dec. II. l9UU.
DEAR FATHER
We arrived here this afternoon after
IA pleasant passage from Port Said.
This, of course, was OF considerable in
terest as we were passing through
some very historical country We left
Port Said on Dec. 4th. passing through
the canal, we were presented with
some interesting scenery. although
there was little to be seen on either.
side excepting a dreary waste of sand,
but as the desert was something new
to us it was intensely interesting. The
canal is about ninety miles long and its
width varies, but is everywhere wide
enough to permit the passage of vessels.
However, in passing vessels going
against the current have to tie up to
the bank, while those going with the
current pass. The speed allowed
through the canal is five knots. The
banks of the canal are not walled up,
so a greater speed than this would be
destructive to the banks on account of
the wash of the water for even, as it is,
they have to keep dredges going to
keep the canal clear of sand. Alright
we anchored in a small lake by the
name Of Tismah, near the town of
Ismallah. This town is supposed to be
near the place where the Ishmelites
camped on their journey into Egypt,
after their purchase of Joseph as a
slave.
There was much speculation as to the
exact place of the crossing of the Red
Sea by Moses and the.Israelites, but |
do not think that the exact place is
known, as different maps give it much
different.
We passed out of the canal in the
afternoon of Dec. 5, and stopped at
Suez only long enough to drop our
canal pilot. Suez seemed to be a pretty
place although, no doubt, it is extreme
ly hot there during the summer
| There was one place had anticipated
seeing, that did not have the oppor-
tunity, as we passed i5 during the night
and that was Mt. Sinai, where Moses
received the law. 1t is about forty
miles inland, but is plainly visible
from sea as it is over 1000 feet high.
i In the Red Sea we encountered what
is said to be OF, very rare occurrence,
and that was a heavy rain storm, and it
was appreciated as the weather was ex-
tremely warm and it cooled it off i'm
mensely.
This seems to be one of the barren
spots of the earth as there is nothing
green whatever in sight, only bare
rocks. THERE'S nothing whatever here
excepting an English fort and garrison
and the necessary buildings pertaining
thereto, and it certainly is a desolate
looking place. We will probably leave
here on the 18th for Colombo.
Yours atfectionately,
ALLAN RAE.
