HELM IS ON TRIAL
ONE OF THE MEN CHARGED WITH
RoBBINo CoBURN.
PLANNING ROBBERY CHARGED
Alleged Crime Took Place in the Bad
Lands in the Early Hours-Five .
Men Charged With Com
plicity in It.

The trial of Jesse Heflin for robbery
was resumed in Judge McClernans
court this afternoon at O'Clock. Helm
is accused of robbing J. c. Coburn at
o'clock in the morning on Silver street,
near Main, on October II, of $780, Sew
eral other men were jointly charged with
Heflin with the robbery.
'Coburn again told the story of how he
was robbed on Silver street on the morn
ing of the date given.
He said that he played billiards In the
evening preceding with Helm and that
towards the hour of the robbery he and
Hefiin went from one place to another
in the neighborhood where it took place.
Leave the Saloon.
At the hour named they passed out OF
the back of the Oxford saloon. and Heflin
suggested that they go down to where
he lived and see if his wife was at home.
They were walking along the street, and
four men ran out upon them from be-
hind a wagon and covered them with
pistols.
"They told me to throw up my hands
and one of them tried to slip behind me
and put his arm around my neck" said
Coburn. But he wasn't quick enough,
and l hit him in the neck and knocked
him down. They told me to throw up
my hands, but I didn't do it.
"Then two of them jumped on me and
hit me on the head with pistol. They
grabbed me and l broke loose, and then
took my money out and threw it down
an alley. thought they might not find
it. But they searched me and then one
of them said to take ME down the alley.
~ To Put UP his Hands.
'"They told Hefiin to put up his hands
then, and they took me down the alley
and took my watch. After that one of
them told me I could go back and get
my hat. That's all they left me-"
WAS there any search made of
Heflin?" County Attorney Breen asked.
i"No, SIR Coburn replied.
"Nor at any time during the hold
up?"
mo, SIR
Coburn testified that Hefiin had whis-
pered with other men in the saloon in q
way to lead him to believe that the
latter planned the robbery.
The trial was still in progress at g
late hour this afternoon. George Cam
eron, one of Helms alleged confeder.
ates, was tried on the same charge and
acquitted yesterday.

JOINT SOUVENIR OPENING.
Legs, the Jeweler; and Christie & Legs,
the Druggists.

The joint souvenir opening Of Legs,
the Jeweler, and Christie & Legs, the
druggists, drew large crowds all yester-
day afternoon. Both stores We're eiab-
orately festooned with green ana chrys-
anthemums; and the Holiday Goods, rich
and dazzling, added no small share ITO
the attractions of the stores. ot
Each store gives free to every Gus
toner a handsome souvenir, and the
demand for these yesterday showed
that nine-tenths Of the visitors were
customers also.
The many new designs in fine diamond
and pearl jewelry and in silver novelties
as shown at Legs, prompted we'll
known newspaper man who was looking
at the display to remark:
Our fathers ought to have left us
lots of money. Why, in their day, COM
pared with these temptations, they had
nothing to spend money for except good
liquor. Now, there is something else to
buy. Just look at that gorgeous stirling
silver alcohol lamp for heating curling
irons! See that pearl encrusted lOcket.
Yes, our fathers ought to have left us
heaps of money; they had no such use
for it as we have.'
Christie & Legs added music to the
attractions of their handsome store.
They display superior line of leather
| goods, toilet sets, purses, music rolls
and a chic assortment Of fine ebony
| pieces. A dazzling line of cut glass bot
ties for clarets; and a rich gathering Of
bottle perfumes found praise among all
the ladies. Under the present manage
ment the Christie & Legs store has
come to be one of the most popular drug
stores in Butte. the effort to make every
one feel at home proving decidedly ef-
fective in winning public favor.
The opening of these two stores VIII
