Trial of Patrick Hayes For Murder
Goes Over.

The trial of Patrick Hayes, charged
with the murder of William ]. McCaine,
at the Parker house, on October IL, had
been set for this morning at 10 O'Clock
in Judge McCYernans court. e.
The trial did not open at that time,
however, for the reason that it was
crowded out by other matters.
The trial of Marcus Westtrum. for!
forgery. which was called Tuesday aft
ernoon was at that time continued to
this morning, and it took precedence
over the trial of Hayes.
When the Hayes case was called this
morning the trial was continued till 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Breen. the county attorney, asked
the court to request the states wit
nesses, who were present, to step dnto
the courts chambers for a consultation
with Assistant County Attorney Mackel.
There were about Is witnesses, among
them several women, and the large
number was an indication that the trial
will be a long one. At 2 o'clock the
case was continued again.

Union Pacific Figuring on Building. Its

The Union Pacific Railroad company
is figuring on running it's line into Salt
Lake.
1t once controlled that end Of the Ore.
gon Short Line, but lost its grip when
the change was made.
The matter of again entering the City
Of Saints has been under discussion
about two years. but the route by which
it intended to reach the coveted goal
has never been made clear.
1t is said that lne officials are working
quietly and that there is something in
the air. -
Last summer the officials Of the line
looked over the Park City branch of
their system, which fact gave rise to
the rumor that they were looking for a
pass through the mountains for their
line. 1t is said that engineers for the
company have made their report and
that more will be known in the near
future. -Ar..,y ~

the OPENING DAY,

Unless all signs are wrong. the Fifty
seventh congress, which will meet at
noon Monday at Washington, will be
one of the busiest and hardest working
bodies that has assembled at the capital
in recent years. Work, not talk, is ex-
pected to be the rule. If the present
plans of the leaders are carried out.
great deal of important work will be
done. So many and various are the pro-
jects under way that only under the most
favorable conditions can they be all dis
patched, and it Is not unlikely that
March of next year will find such a
great amount Of unfinished work on
hand that the session will be prolonged
beyond the day upon which congress
usually adjourns.
Monday will be devoted to listening IN
the presidents message. This important
state paper is already prepared-it has
been read to the cabinet, and copies are
In the hands of the press associations
Every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent the contents being made public pre-
naturely. and there is not one chance

sage leaking out before the members OF

the Nigh SCHOOL ELEVEN.

The football team of the Butte High
afternoon on the local gridiron. The
score by which they defeated the players
from the Fort Shaw Indian school was
proof that the young men went in to
win and neglected no opportunity to
insure victory. The visiting players We're
given goose-egg in the game but they
will have no unpleasant memories of
their trip to Butte. The members of the
losing eleven We're permitted to enjoy
the best the hosptable victors could pro-
vide during their stay here. They met
with every courtesy from the victors,
We're given fair treatment in the game
and the record of their trip is made up
of incidents that speak we'll for both
teams. The members of the high school
team and their associates in the school
are a fine, gentlemanly lot Of young
men. They have brains and pluck and
sport with flying colors.
The practical value of a football team
as an educational auxiliary is never
rated very high. Nevertheless it has no
small influence in determining the course
boy in school elects to pursue There
was not normal boy of school age who
saw the game yesterday who did not
then and there resolve that he would
stay by his scholastic duties until he
reached the high school and could play
football on the high school team. If
this ambition shall lead some to secure
more of an education than they would
otherwise get, if it will point the way
for boys in Butte schools to reach the
higher levels of knowledge, then the
eleven youths who scored amid the
plaudits of their friends yesterday on
the football field are already of some
consequence in the world. and the time
spent in diligent practice and earnest
playing is far from being thrown away.

seen. The pick of the stock from every

wildering profusion and variety, and the
blue blood of most Of the exhibits will
attract fanciers of live stock from every
section Of the country. During the ex-
position the National Live Stock AssO-

tana stockmen holding membership in

WHAT MILL SAYS.

The redoubtable magnate, j. ]. Hill. is
governors of states in which his road
operates. when the gentlemen get
through telegraphing to each other" re-
marked Mr.. Hill. referring to the COVER
nors who We're keeping the wires hot
with messages, "they will find that the
Northern Securities company is entirely
within it's rights, and is not violating
any law of the states of Montana or
Minnesota"
This sarcastic fling on the part of Mr..
Hill is not charitable. 1t is part of the
good hard work the governors do, this
telegraphing back and forth and making
fuss and feathers over what the public
knows is pretty sure to take place
whether they like it or not. Most COVER
nors made campaign pledges when they
went before the people as aspirants for
office. 1t is not within reason that men
who are haunted by the echoes of politi-
cal speeches in which the trusts were
given all that was coming to them will
allow an opportunity to pass without
renewing their pledges of undying enmity
to combines of every sort and kind.
After all, it is not the telegraphing Mr.
Hill need be afraid of. When the gov
errors of the states in which his road
operates give instructions to the at
torney general to proceed with the
necessary legal steps it will be known
that the opposition is something more
than play to the galleries The ques-
ton is: VIII the governors go to that
length to sustain their prediction
pledges?
